Did you hear about the stunt man who broke his arm? He had to be recast. How did the hipster burn his lips? He drank his coffee, before it was cool. I was going to tell you a joke about dirt, but it's beneath us. What do you call a herd of cows flying to Omaha? Stakes on a plane. 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 Toboliv I'm stripping from my nose. I've got the leprosy of the high.

heart bow, exacerbating my incredible woes. I want to take my brain out and blast with the wave, an ultrasonic, ecographic, and a pulsating shave. I want a magic pill. All my ailments, the health equivalent to 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 a requiem for my disease.

And all of that, all the cameo money goes to ham radio stuff. That's what that's there for. I have a separate account so that if I buy a ham radio thing, like an antenna or a radio or something. It's not coming out of the family account, God forbid. I take

money or money. I take food out of the mouths of my children to buy ham radios. So that's what that cameos for and I really do appreciate it. But you are enabling a habit. But it's a good habit. Biggest antenna I've ever seen on a car. On a car. It's hilarious. It's so funny. I've seen bigger ones, but mine's fatter. Mine's more girthy. I have a very girthy, you know, they say girth over length, right? It's not the longest antenna in the world, but it is the girthiest. However, he cannot drive into the garage with it up. No, you've got to get out and you, and you...

Hey, Scott, will you come out and put my antenna down? I'm sure that's how I sound like when I ask you to do that. That's a perfect impression. How many people do you guys? How many people do you guys don't have to get out of a car for their antennas? And almost all ham radio operators do. And it's like a 12-foot ceiling crutch. It's funny.

Oh, my God. Hey, do you have to put the thing down before you go under overpasses and stuff? No, I do have to put it down before I go into the parking garage. I'm going to drive-through. It depends. If it's over, yeah, if it's like under 7 foot 6 or something, then yeah, I got to put it down. And then I go to the car wash, I have to. to unscrew it and I've got a cap that I put on it.

You can't get in their parking guards, can you? Yeah, not ours. No, I mean, I have to put it. I either, well, what I can do, and the ham radio operators out there will understand this, I can set it to 50 megahertz, which is the highest frequency it will do, so that makes the antenna the shortest it can be. And I can get in there with it just barely just touching the ceiling. As long as it doesn't break the concrete barriers.

No. With the low frequency or the high frequencies rattling or building falling down. All right. Well, we're going to have, I'm changing the subject if you just figured that out, the fantastic flatulent fart brother's big book of farty facts from my niece Holly. And we're going to do our random flatus fact today. And if you find fletus humorous, you should go to flatus flute.com

and check that out. It's, as we haven't talked about it in a while, it's basically a whistling butt plug. I have nothing to do with it, even though it has my name and my visage on it. But Dan Tech and Son of Fritz, Son of Fritz is a genius artist who we haven't heard from for a while.

And it's basically sort of Renan Stimpy artwork where this big hairy ass is farting musical notes into my face and I've got this big grin on my face like it's the greatest thing that anybody ever did. But I have nothing to do with that. They were just fans of the show and I promoted them and then there you go

and then you end up on the packaging and everyone's thinking, well, that's Dr. Steve's whistling butt plug, but no. All right, so this is from the Fantastic Flatulent Brothers Big Book of Farty Facts turn to a random page is from page 103 if you're following along at home. Toot hello in the Amazon. Imagine living in a place where passing Flatus is the most polite thing you can do.

The Yano-Mami tribe who inhabit rainforest in Brazil and Venezuela pass Flatus at each other when they want to say hello. We'd like to know how they answer. the phone. All right. Let's see. You want to do another one? I'm going to mark this one. Yes.

Oh, please. Okay. Page 63, if you're following along at home. Fart Wars. Now, the rest of the time I will use clinical terms, but the title, I'll do the title as they wrote it. Fair enough.

In 1994, Sweden and Russia nearly went to war over fish fletus. Swedish defense forces picked up underwater clicking noises in Stockholm Harbor, which sounded like Russian submarine signals. The Swedish Navy went on high alert while their prime minister sent an urgent, angry message to the Russian president. Yet there was no submarine to be found. What's the Swedish chef? How does he go? It's probably what it sounded like when they sent this urgent message.

Okay, it turned out, if I had prepared for this, I would have had that drop. It turned out the little clicking noises were herring fletus. And see the page about fish flatus language. Sweden did not declare war against the fish who were passing fletus. Oh, okay, well, good. Stupid. Okay. All right.

And so ends the lesson for this week. Scott, have you got anything for us today? Yeah, I got a couple things. All right. How's Simply Herbal's going? Simply herbal is going pretty well. Yeah. Selling that nasal spray like crazy.

The CBD nasal spray or the regular? Both. And the CBD one still has the peppermint in it? Yeah, it's the base formula with pepperbin oil, a little bit of honey, a little bit of salt. And, um, buffered saline, basically. And then, uh, and with, um, is it buffered saline or is it just saline, though? And at one time you had, yeah, okay, so it was buffered. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, still is. Still the base formula, but it's with the CB dual that's, um, added. Yeah. For a good measure. Why not? Make you big and strong. Throw it in there.

Well, why not? We thought about the old spell of things in there, but. Estragalus, I'm sure. Exactly. What is that stuff? What, if you put that in a nasal spousal space. Would it smell just horrendous? No, but it only comes really in powder form, but it's not really like it.

Yeah, it would make it murky, wouldn't it? It'd be yucky. Yeah. We could probably extract the oil. I'm sure. And there probably is such a thing. I would think, yeah. That'd be easy to do.

I mean, I was an organic chemist. We ought to be able to do that. We've got a pretty big company here near us that can probably extract something. Yeah, no, that's true. That's true. Yeah, and I know some of those guys, too. But, yeah, we used to do that all the time. Yeah, I have published an article as an undergraduate in the Journal of Organic Chemistry.

Well, you know, consider they make an oil out of Cleary Sage. Man, you are one pathetic loser. I know what. The Cleary Sage oil for hot flashes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Wait a minute. You gave Tacey some of that stuff.

Gave taste of that. So, okay, let's talk about that. Why don't you talk a little bit about the symptoms you were having? Oh. And then what Dr. Quack over here gave you, and then let us know if it worked. Well, he gave me two things. Well, tell us what you were, the problem you were having first. Establish the problem, then we'll talk about the solution.

A burning fire from within my soul. Okay, fair enough. Like carrying around an oven, constant sweats, nobody else is sweating. Why am I sweating? Yeah. Red face. Just hot. Just hot.

And, yeah, and it's worse in the summer, of course. Sure, because it's hot. Yeah, because it's hot, and you can't escape it. So Scott gave you. And then Steve's having cost-cutting measures. So the temperature in our house is set at 73 degrees. You heard that. Oh, good.

73 degrees. Wow. That's like being in the equator. I mean, it's what's, what's, a trainer would say it's. Check your privilege. taste, go on. Watch it now, she's retired, be nice. I know.

She's under a lot of stress. She's under a lot of stress. I know most people keep theirs at 68, which would be, oh, my God. But anyway, so you gave me two things, pills. Yes. And the oil. By the way, just it's always been at 73. It's just now she's noticed it because she was having a hotflash.

I've never liked it, not once. Okay. I've never said anything about it, not once, but anyway, it's fine. Well, it's different when you have hot flashes is my understanding. Yes, no, I get it. No, I get it. Like, when I had my, I don't know if we've even talked about my ass issue on this show, but when I had that, you know, you never think about your stupid rectum until someone's wrecked it.

And then that's all you can think about. So I get it. You don't think about the temperature until you have hot flashes all the fucking time. And then that's all you can think about. So I'm just being an asshole. I do get it. That's why I wanted the pool so bad is because of my hot flashes. Yeah.

So anyway, so you gave me two things. She gets a pool. She gets a good thing. Okay, anyway, go on. And I've been wanting to. I'm just so glad I'm believing after this show on YouTube. talk about it yeah okay so anyway okay so um you gave me two things just like the fifth time i've said that yep and pills and then the pepper it's not peppermint no tell her what it does clear sage oil but it feels like peppermining on it's it's it's got a little spicy yeah and and it's

it's awesome and it's also awesome in a diffuser as well so it's got a lovely smell doesn't it yeah It smells so good. It's got a lovely film. And the pills also were quite helpful. But now it's, you know, summer just got the hill out, and it's, you know, cold now. Cooling off. So is that a good thing that it's cooling off? Oh, my God.

Yes. Okay. So did these things help? Yes. Okay. Awesome. Yeah, you know, I've got about it. Because there's all kinds of prescription strength stuff.

Yeah. But some of it is Some of those prescription things for hot flashes I think can cause more issues. That's what I was having. I was on bioidentical hormones. And, you know, going through the change. The period cycle was a nightmare.

And I just, you know. Well, you have fucked up periods anyway because of you have polycystic ovaries. Yes. So it was just, but enough of. about me. No, no, no, no, no. No, this is a good topic. I don't know.

Okay. I was put on... It really is, yeah. So you were put on... A birth control pill. Yes. And that really helped with my periods by taking them away. Right.

And so that was awesome. But it, but then the hot flashes, of course, came back. And so I was kind of miserable this summer. I remember standing in line in Nashville waiting on hot chicken in the hot sun. And it was waiting to get hot chicken in a restaurant that was not air-conditioned. Haddy's isn't air-conditioned? No, there's only... There's only...

Oh, you were going to eat outside. Hotest fucking day of the year, Steve. And line... And no room inside. And it was gay pride. There was NASCAR. Yeah, it was just busy. And so the line went around the building.

and there's seating for about 20 people, but the air conditioner at that point wasn't working because it was so hot and the doors were constantly being open. And we weren't lucky enough to get to sit in the semi-air conditioning. God, how good was it, though? You couldn't enjoy it.

Yeah, sweaty, hot, hot chicken. You know, I would have rather had ice cream. I ate there at the Nashville WATP event with Carl. the cow photographer and Vinny. And I have this weird thing. And this has nothing to do with your hot flashes. The first bite of anything that's got capsaicin in it,

which is the active ingredient in hot as fuck food, it causes a histamine release. And I start, my eyes run, my nose runs. I'll sneeze. And my voice said, you know, my throat will close up like that. And then it goes away and I'm totally fine. I can eat it. It looks like I'm the most miserable person in the world, but I'm loving it.

I looked around. Nobody else was sweating. Nobody. And it was just pouring off my face. And it's just really, you know, I'm pro headband. I'm just going to say that right now. I know that they're so. You're pro headband, but I never seen you wear one.

No, but I would have done anything to have one then. Yeah. That's awful. So, anyway. Well, some of the prescription strength stuff, for hot flashes. So now that we don't just routinely put people on estrogen anymore. Because we used to do that.

As soon as you went through menopause, you were on estrogen until the day you died. And we thought that we were improving hip fracture. And we actually probably were, but we were also increasing breast cancer incidents by about 1 in 10,000. It wasn't a lot. So you'd have, instead of 1 in 11 women getting breast cancer, you'd have 1 in 11.0.000. but still multiplied that out across all of the

women of age in the United States and in the world, yeah, it's a lot of extra cases of breast cancer. So we cut that shit out, but then we were left with what do we do about all these hot flashes. So you have black cohosh that is

sort of a Dr. Scott type thing. But you did not give me that. No, no, we got it. Well, it is you know, it's a phytoestrogen. though. I've always, I haven't seen any, any, in other words, it's sort of estrogenic molecule derived from plants. Right, well, okay, but does that really, if it has the same effects as estrogen. Like soy? Would it, right, and that's another one, would it still have the same effects on breast cancer? And with the answers we don't really know. Now, there's not, to our

knowledge been in association with breast cancer or uterine cancer with it, but I don't think it's, nobody's spent the bucks either. No, nobody's going to money, Tom, yeah, nobody's making enough money off of it, which is sad. So, so most people feel that it's probably safe, but I'm not okay with probably. I mean, when I had my lung mass, they said, yeah, you probably don't have cancer. I mean, try walking around with that. Oh, we're okay then. I won't ever think about it again then.

I do walk around with that with my thyroid. Oh, it's probably not cancer. But if it is, thyroid cancer doesn't kill people. Yeah, right. Yeah, so. Usually. Yeah, but that doesn't help either. I know.

I know, I know. So you've got that stuff. And then you've got the SSRI type antidepressants. You can use those, Prozac and Zoloft and that kind of stuff for. But Tacey, you're on. those and you still have hot flashes. Oh, yeah, take all kinds of sock meds. Not helping with that, but those are relatively effective in people with mild symptoms.

And there are some OBGYNs who will still use estrogen for a short period of time. And like Premarin, which, by the way, gets its name from pregnant mare's urine. So that's not a myth. but there are soy derived ones and Yam derived estrogen pills and stuff but they'll do it just long enough to get the hot flashes under control and then they'll stop it

which in Tacey's case wouldn't work because it just goes on and on and on it's not a transient phenomenon It's just so embarrassing So then you have things that just stop you from sweating like glycopyrolate and stuff like that and that will help with the sweating part, but it doesn't stop the hot flashes.

Then it's double miserable. You need to sweat and you can't. Well, that's true. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but if you've got to go to a meeting, though, and you've got to give a presentation and you have this, the last thing you want to do is be standing up there just dripping, oozing sweat from every pore.

It's not good. Shoot. I think that's when I'd be saying, hey, guys, listen, you're going to excuse me, but I'm going to be dripping from every pore here. Yeah, get over. That's great. Get over it. All right.

I have a question about Paxlova. You want to answer that one, Tase? You want to do that one? Sure. Okay. I mean, I personally don't want to answer it. It's Dr. Steve. Hold on.

Hold on. Oh, man, the leprosy of a heart valve guy. What? Okay. Okay. Oh, here you. Hey, Dr. Steve. This is Darren.

How you doing, Dr. Scott? Fabulous. It's good to hear. from everybody today. I was calling to let you know. I took your advice and I was really so happy I did. So Tuesday, last Tuesday, I was feeling really awful. I thought I had a sinus infection. So Wednesday, I couldn't go to work. I had some nausea. I went to the doctor when they finally opened at 8 a.m. And I tested positive. Sorry. COVID. Oh, that's. Anyway. So. I'm, I know he said he did. He tested positive for COVID, but I'm fixating on his sort of sideway when they finally opened an 8 a.m.

They said, well, yeah, you're positive. And I thought, hmm, that's awful. What a doctor, Steve say? Oh, yeah. As soon as you're diagnosed, take Paxlowellman. I didn't say that. And the doctor says, well, I can call it in if you take a kidney function test. And I said, absolutely, let's go get this test done and get me on this.

So, by Friday, Wednesday evening, I was taking Pax Lovid, and by Friday evening, I was feeling good. Saturday morning, I was great. I didn't even finish taking all the Pax Lovid. I don't know if I should have or not, but I fell like a million bucks now. Thank you for all the advice. I appreciate your help getting us all through COVID. Okay, man. Well, okay, I'm glad.

I was waiting for the doctor Steve told me this, and that asshole. I'm waiting for the Paxlovod rebound call. Yep, yep. Yep. Yep. Well, okay, so here's the thing. Paxlovid is a combination drug. It has two drugs in it. One of them was an anti-retroviral drug called Ritonavir. And this is a drug that is now, well, okay, we have Molnapyrivir and Paxlovid are the two oral

outpatient drugs for people that don't have severe disease. In other words, you get it, you go to your doctor, you get a prescription, you go home, and you recuperate, and you do okay. Paxlovod's data showed that there was an 80 to 90% decrease in hospitalization, whereas Molnapirivir was only about 30%. So they were pushing the Paxlovod. But what they found is, is if you give it to people under 50, it really doesn't seem to have that benefit. Now, you'll get better faster. You'll feel better faster. And the reason is that

those people under 50 probably not at high risk. And Molina-Pirovair, we've been using it more for people who are, you know, not exactly high risk, but they feel like shit, and their insurance pay for it, and they can get it, and they feel better faster, and they weren't at that high risk of going to the hospital anyway. But it's for Paxlovit is for the high risk. It is for the high risk, non-hospitalized patients with what they call mild-de-moderate COVID-19. Okay, so this person would have been mild, and he didn't have any shortness of breath, and or hypoxia, you know, low blood oxygen. And if he was, so what's the risk?

So, 65 or older, you qualify. So if I get it, I qualify him. any medical condition or anything else that increases the risk for severe COVID-19 and that can be diabetes meletus,

immune disorder, those kinds of things. You know, and it could comorbidities, anything that puts you at risk for going to the hospital with this shit. Gotcha. So you don't have to be 65 or older if you have one of those

risk factors. And you have to have mild to moderate symptoms. Let's just hit the, let's see here, medical conditions. So here are several of them that I haven't mentioned. Chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, any chronic lung diseases like asthma or COPD, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, kids with cystic. fibrosis, dementia, diabetes, we already mentioned, and then people who are dependent on activities of daily living, in other words, people who need help, they can't do everything for themselves, they may be bedbound, particularly heart conditions, HIV, infection, or any other

immunocompromised condition, okay? So those are the people that you would want to give this stuff to. And you can start the treatment within five days of symptom onset. It doesn't have to be the same day, but it is the earlier the better, and you can't be hospitalized. Talk about the rebound. Yeah, so there's this interesting phenomenon.

It's a minority of people, but a minority of people will come off the packs of it, they'll do great, and then their symptoms will come back, or they'll test positive again, which isn't necessarily the same thing. You know, lots of people will test positive that actually aren't infectious.

Now, I believe Joe Biden had Pax Lovid rebound. Yes. And so he, although I don't think he had symptoms, I'm not his physician, and I, to be perfectly honest, don't stay

up on all of his medical issues. But my understanding was that he tested positive after he stopped the Paxlovod but was relatively asymptomatic at that point. So anyway, and this person

story is very common. You think the allergies are getting you. I got it in September. It was like that's when I always get my allergies and I just felt like that. But then I started feeling worse than normal with my allergies. So I got a nurse at the hospital.

Hey, take my temp. It was 103.5. There you go. God. Damn it. So anyway. There are drug-to-drug interactions with Paxlovid more so than there are with Molinapeiravir. any drugs that are dependent on the cytochrome P-450 pathway,

and those would be drugs like Rifampin, ketoconazole, and stuff like that. Just talk to the pharmacist. Are you on something that could be causing a drug interaction with Paxlovin? They will check that if they're worth anything. And then the hormonal contraceptives, and then anybody that's on like a triple combination for age. HIV. They need to let them know that they're on that. Okay. All right. Yeah, good. Well, I'm glad he got better. Yay. Even if I think what he took from what I said was a little different than what I meant to say, but that's okay.

All right. Let's try this one. It's called the pelvic bruise. Howdy, Doc? Can I call you, Doc? Of course. They call me Sprucy, Doc. So you can call me Sprucy, too. What up Sprucy? Hello as well to you, Dr. Scott. hats off to the lovely mistasteings. Oh, wow, nice. I have this embarrassing medical questions. What a gentleman.

And everyone knows them's the most embarrassing kind of questions. Well, now about a year ago, I hooked up with this woman. I met doing some online dating. We'd been sexing in Texas for a couple of weeks. The attention was my thick and pulpy the night you come over to do it with me. And boy. This is this world is just a different, this is an alien world to me.

Sexing and stuff before even meet somebody. And then get. them over there you get them i guess you get so revved up you got to bring them over and then just just go go ham go ham yeah so did we do it doc she was a begging for harder and i gave it to her harder good harder than i'd ever thought was possible oh a couple days after this legendary bone and i've seen i had a small bruise just the left of my massive cock okay a few days more And that's their bruise turn it to a gnarly, bull's-eye-looking bruise about 10. Wait, that wasn't a humble brag.

That was an actual brag. Which is why. It even turned the base of that huge cock of mine, a little black and blue. Okay. Now, a smarter man than me might have gone to a doctor about that time. A doc, I ain't a smart man. I got to tell myself it was a bruise on my pelvic bone or something like that. Okay.

Reasonable. Give yourself a bill. I would say that's what that was. I sound kind of stupid and unlikely, seeing as the woman involved, didn't have any such bruises herself. Well, okay. Now, it didn't look like any kind of FD that I'd ever seen or heard of, and it just kind of went away, and it slipped off into the back of my mind.

Looking back sometime later, I got to thinking that it must have been some kind of hernia or something like that. So my question is this, Doc, but heavily physical sexual intercourse give a man a hernia around the groin. No, well, yes, but that's not what this was. Formance later on, what should I have done if it were a hernia, and what do I do now? Let's talk a little bit about a hernia. There's still half the call.

I've got to find out what the hell is left on this thing. Hang on. I have noticed a little lack of sensitivity down there, and I'm a little scared. Well, Doc, that there is my question for you. I do hope that question makes it on your show. Hell yeah. You all have such a great doctor and show. I'm going to be seeing a urologist this here Friday.

I was going to tell him this whole story, too. Oh, so he's probably already got the answer. But, yeah, no, I think it was a bruise. And sometimes what will happen is, And, yeah, I mean, just depending on how the anatomy was, she doesn't have to have a bruise. Especially she's got, you know, infusion. If you punch somebody in the mouth, you might break their teeth, but you don't break your hand necessarily. I mean, it's not reciprocal.

You don't do the same injury. I mean, that's a terrible analogy. Yeah, if you do it right. Yeah, if you do it right, you might scrape your knuckle or something. And so you can see that. You could have a different injury than she, but I would say she is as vigorous as you were rogering her that she probably did have some discomfort down there, but she wouldn't necessarily have a visible bruise. Maybe some internal bruising possibly. Maybe, but what was probably happening was his pelvic bone was coming into contact with her pelvic bone, and he may be thinner than she is down there.

He may have less meat between his outside and the pubic bone, which is above the penis. And he may have just bruised it. You know, bruising is just where you get some, you know, bleeding underneath the skin. And he may have noticed that it spread. I think he said that it did. It spread till it surrounded the base of his giant meaty cock. And, oh, no, we don't need that. And he also probably would have noticed that it changed from a purplish color to a greenish color, then yellow, and then disappeared.

Now, a hernia would be a swelling. Yeah, and would not go away necessarily. And it wouldn't just go away. It could come and go, but it will still continue to come and go. A hernia, anytime tissue passes through a hole, basically, or a tunnel that it's not supposed to, We call that a hernia. So you can get a direct hernia in the groin, you know, adjacent to the, you know, the junkal region. And a direct hernia is where the abdominal wall passes directly through the, you know, the weakness in the abdominal wall and makes a swelling there.

Or you can have an indirect hernia where the abdominal contents actually pass through the rings that go, into the scrotum and it's that sort of tunnel through which the Vaz deference goes to attach to the because if you think about it you got testicles in the scrotum and then there are these two flexible tubes

called the Vaz Deferens or Vaz Deferra maybe I don't know. No Vaz deference Ves. Veses. Deferens. It's probably Vesa different. I'm going to look at that up what the plural of Vaz deference is. The Vaz deference is. Echo, what's the plural

of Vaz deference. Vaz deference. Vaz defences. Vaz. Everybody does. Okay, Vaz. She doesn't know either. No. It's worthless. So, anyway,

so yes, let's just talk about one of them. The Vaz deference on the left will pass through the Inguinal canal because it's got to get out of the scrotum and into the body, right? So there's this canal that it passes through. Well, other shit can go

the other way. And sometimes it's a chunk or a loop of vowel. I've told this story before that one of my anatomy professors talked about a patient that was so obese that his stomach was so gigantic. And I mean, his actual stomach, not his gut. His stomach was so gigantic that it actually herniated into his scrotum. And every time he would drink coffee, his left testicle would get hot. No. No, for real.

Yeah, no, he told this story. Oh, my word. Second year medical school. That's the hell of the tummy. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, and those kinds of hernia is you want to get repaired because they can just get worse. And if you get an incarcerated hernia, in other words, if something passes through there and then twists, then it will swell. And then you can't reduce it again.

And then it's going to be dying and then causing it will cause a medical or surgical, sorry, a surgical emergency. that can be life-threatening. So you want to get those things taken care of them. That's not what this was. This sounds like a post-traumatic sort of bruising situation. Well, if he listened to some of our former shows, where we talk about if you lose 30 pounds of weight, you gain one inch of penis size.

Well, you regain it. Regan it, yeah. Because you can't just lose 130 pounds and expect to have whatever that works out. Yeah, if you don't have a lot of fat. Yeah, you couldn't lose 350 pounds and gain 10 inches. you know but yeah because that curve

is only linear for part of the curve and then it's it's pretty horizontal at the beginning becomes linear and then turns out to be horizontal

at the top we would say in mathematics that has an asymptotic limit in other words it's just so much that you can get out of it and you know before you just can't go any further

there's an absolute limit you were born with a certain penis size you're just going to reveal it over time by losing fat. And some people start out with negative, you know, if they're inverted. You know, it's two inches down in there when you're flaccid. Then, yeah, you've got to count that. So you've got to lose 70 pounds just to get it to zero.

That's like your, what was it? We started talking about it a couple times ago, the scared penis syndrome. Yeah, yeah. The shrinkage. The shrinkage. George Costanza knows about that. And also the cremaster reflex is a reflex that pulls, that there are, the cream master muscle pulls the male junkage up toward the body, particularly when it's too cold, just to keep, make sure that the testicles stay nice and toasty. They're supposed to be three degrees below body temperature, but if it gets to be 12 degrees, then it'll, that's when George Costanos, the shrinkage will kick in.

Surely she knows what shrinkage is. I need to get a drop of that. Well, you send me a note to get a drop of the shrinkage. I do have one from TV. That's my favorite. You are a liar, actress. Go the f*** out. Oh, Davide.

All right. Let's do one on an unsuccessful vasectomy. Hey, Dr. Steve. Hey, man. We're here. We've talked and emailed a few times. It's a different subject. I just went in for.

for a vasectomy. Excellent. And it was unsuccessful. No, that's not necessary. We got the right side, quick and easy, the left side. I have four puncture wounds on the left side. Now, because the fast dephron was too short or lacked slack per him. Okay.

Oh, it was your fault. I was... Okay. That's what I was going to do that. All the medical students out there take note. Anytime something like this happens, always blame the patient. Yes. Oh, your Vaz deference was too short.

You should have done what I told you to do. No, I was that you were... Should have grown them better. Should have grown up better, exactly. I'm not fun with this, but anyway, next week we have surgery scheduled to put me under at a hospital to get it. I just would love some information, clarifications. Has anybody done with this?

Whatever my doctor said. Sorry, dude. This is a very old phone call. I guess it's all done by now. If you had it done, call in. This was his first time having this happened in 10 years. The nurse that he called in. Okay, so he had this done the same way. Have you had a vasectomy? No.

No, you have not. Okay. So I've told the story of having mine on this show multiple times in the past where they put me up and like I'm getting a pap smear and he gets out a dry daisy razor and he's just going scitch, scitch, scitch, I'm in there for the whole thing. Scraping, yeah, and then Tasey comes in

at, well, he had already started. But then he, you know, and then he's in there and I see blood everywhere and Tacey's in there and he's like, yeah, did you enjoy a Cafe Pacific the other night and all this kind of shit? It's like, Jesus Christ, pay attention. Pay attention.

He'll keep looking at Tacey's tits. That's delicate stuff down there, man. He was not. Yes, that was before your reduction mammoplasty, too, and you were looking pretty damn good. But anyway, not that you don't look good enough. Now that they've grown back, you look great. Oh, my God.

So, I think it's going to be a cold. Oh, wait, you're going to be fine. Shut the fuck up. You make it worse by saying those things. I love it. Sleeping on the couch tonight. Don't worry, Dr. Steve. You can sleep in my little house.

Yeah, that's fine. Oh, thank you. That was cool. First time having this. Oh, yeah. So, this, when this happened, I'm sure, because he was awake, and there's nothing worse than hearing the surgeon that's operating you when you're wide away, go, hmm, this is, I've never seen this before.

And oops, that's also a bad one. So, yeah. Well, that's because you're an idiot. So, you know, that's distressing. So anyway, yeah, so they're going to put him under and do an open vasectomy under anesthesia. And he'll have some stitches in his scrotum, but he'll be okay. He just has weird anatomy. It'd be nice if you could just sort of yank on the thing.

Like, you know, you're trying to pass electrical cable and you just sort of get stuck and you just wiggle it and you're jiggling it up and down. And then you can yank on it, you know, but, yeah, I guess you can't do that in this case. Snap. I think I heard it. Yep, well, that probably would work. That's going to be swollen for a couple days, son. They've always said if you, if you, however, you know, they fold it back and then they'll burn it and they'll sew it up and all that stuff. Because the old saying was in urology circles, if you put two pieces of Vazdeferin in the same room together, they will eventually grow back together if you don't watch it.

Awesome. All right. Well, you guys ready to get out of here? I'm ready. Are you? Yeah. All right. Anything from the waiting room before we go? No, they've all been very good today. Well, no, it's not good. It's good when they ask questions, but that's okay. No, no questions today.

Whether they're very good. We enjoy having them. Oh, gosh, yeah. And, well, thanks to Dr. Scott. Thanks, Tacey. Thanks to everyone who's made the show happen over the years.
