Did you hear about the cat who thought she was a crow? She kept saying, paw, paw. What do you call a muddy chicken that crosses the road twice? A dirty double-crosser. Why did the cat cross the road? Who knows why a cat does anything? What's more amazing than a talking dog? A spelling bee.

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 Bez, you would have thought that this guy.

Well, of course I do. Well, then let's just get right into it. Of course. It's Tacey's time of topics. A time for Tacey to discuss topics of the day. Not to be confused with topic time with Harrison Young, which is copyrighted by Harrison Young and Area 58 public access. And now, here's Tacey. Well, hello, everyone.

Jump in the gun a little bit. It's all right. I need to shorten that anyway. It's a little long. Number one, the FDA finalizes new risk-based rules for blood donors creating a path for more gay donors. Okay. They will now ask all donors the same set of questions. regardless of their sexual orientation. So now more gay and bisexual men can donate blood.

The new rule is if you have a new sex partner more than one in the last three months and anal sex in the past three months, we defer donations to decrease new HIV-infected donors. Really? Because at that stage, it can't be detected by lab tests. Right. If you take meds to treat or prevent HIV, you would be deferred from donation.

Also, before all men who had sex with men faced lifetime bans on donation, CNN. Huh. Yeah, we need more blood donors. I don't know how many more blood donors that's going to give you, because if you are a gay man, you're probably active in some way. But anyway, I guess it's a step. Will not say that again? If you are a gay, I mean, people are sexually active.

So if you're gay or straight, you're probably sexually. Yeah, unless they're married. Yeah, unless they're married. Yeah, it just says the FDA, their final guidance is based on data that shows the best protection against diseases. It's not just HIV. We've got hepatitis C. We've got all kinds of other stuff. It's through testing of blood donation and uniform screening process for each donor.

So good, yeah. Yeah, we shouldn't be just singling people out just because of who they're having intercourse with. We can screen everybody. Well, you know, but for the longest time, they wouldn't let people have donate blood if they had acupuncture. Oh, is that right? Yeah, I forgot six. You used to drive me crazy. Yes, it's the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen.

I can't donate because of my tattoos. What? Yeah, well, you... Is that true? Yeah. If you have a tattoo, you cannot donate. For a certain period of time. Which brings up a point, what are the restrictions on people donating blood

if they've had trigger point injections? Yeah. Or, you know, some kind of vaccine, you know. It's going to crazy. My needles are the... Wow, it says your ability to donate blood if you have a tattoo will depend on how recently you got your last tattoo. In 2020, the FDA ruled you need to wait at least three months before giving blood.

I was going to say, I was thinking it was like, the same time frame as what you were saying there for that. Wow. Wow, you may not be able to donate if your ink is less than three months old. Uncommon and unclean tattoo needle can carry a number of blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV. And people with new tattoos traditionally were advised to wait a year before giving blood. But then they changed it. Because I have good blood.

And what was the other, what's your blood type? Oh, Negg. Oh, Negg. Oh, that's a good one. How about you, Dr. Scott? You know what yours is? Oh. O positive. Tacey? I don't know. I was going to ask you one. Well, you're RH negative because you had to get Rogam after each kid.

I'm RH. I'm O positive. So you're something negative. I don't know if it was O or A, A, B, or whatever. But so for Tacey has the same thing that Ann Blynn had. So Anne Boleyn was R.H. negative. Henry the 8th was R.H. positive. They didn't know these things back then. So her first child was totally normal because the mixing of blood happens during birth.

Then she developed antibodies against R.H. negative kids or, you know, an R.H. negative fetus. And all the rest of her children were born. still born with the you know the dropsy or whatever so high drops so that and for that she got her head cut off wow yeah

eventually as he decided that he wanted to have intercourse with someone else to produce a male heir the interesting thing is that the one male heir that he had died at a young age and his first born by

Anne Boleyn actually became queen and she was Queen Elizabeth the first. Well, what did it do? There you go. How about that? I give myself a bell. Give thyself a bell. There you go. Topic number two. Very good. A peanut allergy patch is making headway

in trials with toddlers. It's experimental, but showing some promise. It's called Viscan and tested on kids one to three for late stage trial. It showed that the patch helped kids whose bodies couldn't tolerate even a small piece of Peanuts Safely.

New England Journal of Medicine. 2.5% of kids have this. Peanuts trigger everything from hives, weaving, wheezing, and airway obstruction. About 20% outgrow the allergy over time, but the rest continue to have it and need to carry an EpiPen. You can find peanut allergens and candies

dipping sauces out. Oh, and then it says allergies. I don't know why. The only treatment is a peanut powder that protects against a severe reaction in kids over four years old. It's called Palforia and consumed daily by kids 4 to 17

to keep up their protection. New patch trial includes 362 toddlers. The patch was equivalent of one in a thousandth of one peanut. One one-thous of one peanut. Right. 118 get placebo

for a year before screening. After a year two-thirds of the kids met the one primary endpoint. They could safely eat equivalent to three or four nuts. Still, that's it, though, just three or four. Well, that's what says severely sensitive could tolerate one peanut. Reactions at application site include swelling, itching, and redness.

Enphylaxis occurred in 7.8 percent, and those parents pulled the kids from the study, of course. Study limitations are young kids with severe history were excluded due to the safety and lack of racial diversity. peanut allergy can be decreased if introduced to die at four to six months of age. Yeah. So, yeah, one of the thing, you know, when I was a kid, we never heard of peanut allergy. It wasn't a thing. Right. But it's a thing now.

You get on an airplane, someone's got a peanut allergy. They can't hand out peanuts and you can't eat candy that's got peanuts in it and stuff like that. So you look at this and you say, well, shit, all they, you know, what have we accomplished? They could eat one or two peanuts. Well, they don't die. Right. The thing is, is that in the past, they get exposed to peanut dust in the air, and they could get anaphylaxis. Now, they still can't actually eat peanut butter, but at least if someone else is eating them, they're not going to get anaphylaxis and die.

So you don't think they had peanut allergies when you were a kid, or do you think it just wasn't reported so much? I think that we have narrowed. We've narrowed what we give kids to the point. that some of this stuff came up because they just weren't exposed to peanuts. It's one hypothesis. Now, Carissa, you have experienced anaphylaxis. I have.

You want to talk about what anaphylaxis is? Because it sucks. It does. It does suck. And I think I've talked about my experience before. Well, you talked about what caused it, but what does it feel like when you're someone that has anaphylaxis? Death, doom, impending doom.

I mean, mine always started oddly with eye twitching and then a high heart rate and then my airway would close off and I couldn't breathe and I would have to use my EpiPen. I always had refractory anaphylaxis every time. So four hours after my initial episode, I would do the same thing where my airway would try to close and I would require Epi again. Wow. so just the two times I mean twice and then you were okay and then I was always in the hospital getting

steroids, IV steroids and antihistamines any Benadryl yeah what caused yours hormones artificial hormones birth control

I cannot take it cannot take any form of artificial hormones and I was actually one of those people that anaphylacted to peanuts and I'll never forget when I had to go on an airplane, I was so embarrassed because they had to let me get on the plane first to especially clean my seat, even though they had taken care of it, which was really nice of them, like in retrospect, but like I just felt awkward.

Like, I got upgraded to a nicer seat. I cleaned my seat. They couldn't serve any of the normal things. The person sitting next to me, like, had their own snacks and the air, like the, what are they called? Stewardess. Yeah, there you go. Stewardess.

No, it's plated. No, that's not politically incorrect, is it? Yeah, really? Yeah, they don't like to be tall. Well, I've offended any lighted to this. Anyway, they basically had to tell everyone around me, like, if you have your own food, you can't eat it. So I just felt really awkward, but it was also nice because I knew I wasn't going to be exposed and die. But you can eat peanuts now?

I can eat anything. Now, I have no food allergies. Interesting. Now, what about these quote? was like 30. Yeah. What about these, quote, unquote, bioidentical hormones. I don't know.

You don't have the, you don't want to try it. Mm-mm. Yeah, okay, I don't blame you. Well, and like any. Because it may not be artificial hormones. Yeah, and anything, like I was looking into an IED at one point and, or any of them have minimal amounts of hormones and or copper, and I'm allergic to copper. Oh.

So I'm just, you're just. You're just a mess. I'm just a mess. It's fine. I'm just abstinent, so it's fine. Everything's just fine. It's just fine. Well, I remember when I first met you, you were carrying around little Tupperware things with little bits of food in that you could eat.

Because I could literally eat nothing. I was allergic to, like, garlic and onion and pepper, like, sees anything that touched my body aside from plain-ass chicken and rice. That was the only thing I could eat. Lettuce? Lettuce. Yeah. Well. For like three years.

You had the honeymoon or salad all the time? Apparently. Lettuce alone with no dressing. Oh, there you go. There's your dad joke. Oh, my word. Okay. All right.

What you got, Tase? Okay. Topic number three, and this will all be over soon. Just bear with me. No, you're fine. How to Protect Yourself from Lyme disease. This came from CBS News. Okay.

Ticks are out earlier and staying longer. I would say don't get bit by a tick. Yes, that's pretty much the gist. Okay, next. Just kidding. 476,000 diagnosed with Lyme disease each year. Tick bites look like tiny, itchy bumps on the skin. Symptoms happen three to 30 days after a bite.

Bullseye-shaped bumps. Rashes common at least two. in or so across, I don't know. Two inches. Oh, yeah. Often it doesn't hurt or itch. Symptoms, when I get, after a while, I just write, like, you wouldn't believe. Why don't you just print out stuff?

Oh, shut up. Symptoms are headache, fatigue, muscle aches, joint aches, stiffness, chills, fevers, full, and lymph nodes, early, prescription with antibiotics, help recover rapidly and completely without prescription, illness gets worse. Oh, and here is a list. Steve, you love these lists that I mean. Ticks live in grassy wooded areas or on animals. You should wear long-sleeved clothing.

Consider an insect repellent, preferably one with deep, pre-treat your clothing, gardening, shoes, or hiking gear, using products with 0.5% permithrim. Permethrine. which protects their Which protects through several washings. Take a shower when you get home. Do a tick check. Killing a tick.

Put your clothes in the dryer for 10 minutes. That's enough. Not if it's on your skin. Well, you can't get, I mean, duh, unless you go to one of those commercial dryer places. Oh, you could just climb in. Just climb in. removing a tick, you take a fine point tweezer

and pull straight up, then clean the bite with alcohol, soap, or water. Yeah, and then you suck it, suck the rest of it out. Yeah, you bite it and then light that bitch on fire. I have, that tick has to be on your skin for about 24 hours before you're actually at risk for a Lyme disease, so that's the thing. So, I mean, that's good.

If you just went out and you catch it early, you should be okay. Now, the rash itself is called erythema chronicom migrans. And it really looks like a bullseye. And it expands, and it gets lazier and lazier and lazier. And it is kind of fine, but it's unmistakable when you see it. And go ahead.

It says, never crush a tick with your fingers. Put it in alcohol or flush it or like Krista says, light that bitch on fire. And that concludes today's time of topics. There is a, thank you, Tusi. Good stuff, Dave. Very good. What about the effects after Lyme disease?

Yeah, well, okay. The article did not go into that. There are, Lyme disease is like syphilis. It has a primary phase where you have a rash, and syphilis, you get a shanker, which is a papule that divides and divides and divides again, then it goes away. then you have a latent period and then you have this tertiary the third stage is when it comes back

like an M.Fer and in syphilis you know it can call those Tabis dorsalis which is neurologic changes can make you go crazy and stuff like that can make the cartilage and your nose fall off those kinds of

things and in Lyme disease it can cause joint arthritis and heart you know anything thing with cartilage and the valves of the heart is basically cartilage. So a cartilaginous type material, it can affect those as well. So you

want to get it treated. There is this other thing called Southern Tick-associated rash illness. It looks very much like erythema chronica migrans, but it develops more quickly. It's smaller.

And they don't know what's causing it yet. But if you take antibiotics, It goes away quickly, and fortunately, the antibiotic is the same. So if you don't know if it's Lyme disease or Southern Tick-associated rash illness, fuck it. You go on doxycycline, and you're good to go. If it's a kid less than eight, you don't want to put them on doxycycline because it'll goof up their teeth and give them these brown teeth. I had a classmate of mine.

She was gorgeous, but she had these brown teeth from being put on, you know, Tetris. recycling when she was a kid. Wow. But now, of course, we have cosmetic dentistry. You can get that fixed. But anyway, you give little kids a moxicillin. So there you go. Yeah, I've seen it a couple of times, particularly when I was in Vermont.

I saw it. And I had one that had let it go so far that they had to have Ivy Rocephine, septreaxone daily for a month. Oh, dang. That was the treatment back then. My stepdad had Lyme disease. Really? And I want to say he was.

on doxy for like an extended period. Yeah, may have been. If you catch it early, it doesn't have to be so long. But the bacterium that causes it is a spirochid. It looks, if I remember correctly, a Borrelia species. It looks a lot like syphilis, so they're very similar.

That's interesting that they have similar syndromes. Weird. Anyway. Hmm. All right. How about that? And that's it, Tase? Isn't that enough?

Yeah, it's plenty. Fabulous. I need to have an outro. for you, too. And I'm going to shorten that intro. Okay, thank you. All right. Well, now, oh, D&P, Chris, you had something interesting. I did. And then we've got a bunch of questions to do. Well, we can just do questions.

No, no, no. I didn't have time to, like, really research this. I just started thinking about it this morning why some of us like it hot when it comes to food. Yes. And spicy food. Yes. I love spicy food. So do I, but we don't actually taste it. It's really just a reaction. We don't have a taste bud for spicy.

That's true. We have, what are the taste buds? There's five of them. Salt. Sweet. Sweet. Sour. Bitter.

Sourri. Bitter. And umami. Uammy. Or savory. That's the secret spice. That's right. Sorry, you didn't mean to laugh right into there.

That's okay. And humans are, so this morning, I just started researching this. a little more, but I found that humans are the only animal that enjoy tabasco sauce and mammals that share the same receptors of humans. There are some mammals, sorry, that share

the same receptors and they avoid hot peppers. Yeah, they're like, it's telling you, this shit's not good for you. Right, and it's basically suggestive that there's a thrill with eating spicy sort of like riding a thrill ride where your brain yourself,

you know that you're going to be okay, but in the moment you think you're in trouble. Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. So I found several articles. I did not get to read them all, but I have links to all of them. Probably releases dopamine, too, into the brain, right? So you get some pleasure out of that.

One article that I just skimmed over briefly was that the liking or disliking of spicy foods is not solely determined by an individual's sensitivity to capsaic, but personality factors exist that influence the response to the initial aversive burning or stinging sensation. What about cultural stuff, though, too? Like, if you have some countries where their national cuisine tends to be really spicy. And I found several articles that were culturally based, and I have not read them. So I don't.

That's fine. No. But there is a lot of research out there. And several of them also compared, like, a spicy culture to a non-spicy culture or a bland, more bland diet. So I'd be interested to know. Well, you know, it's crazy. I ate at the Panda House for lunch the other day, and they had a general so-called, general-so-called tofu.

And she said, oh, it's spicy. And I'm like, I like spicy. I thought, you know, like normal American, you know, Sino-American restaurants, because, you know, the stuff we eat here is not Chinese food. It is as American as apple pie. It was developed here by Chinese immigrants, particularly in the West, when they were building the railroad and all that stuff. And so, you know, it's modified for the American palate. But, I mean, a lot of people in China, from my understanding, would be horrified to see the shit that we eat.

Because to them, you know, meat as a condiment, you know, rice and vegetable would be typical. And then, you know, you throw in a little bit of protein as a condiment. But the – so I got this stuff, and it lit me up. I'm going to tell you, oh, boy, there was a lot of capsaicin in it. And my eyes were watering and my nose started running. I started sneezing. I couldn't talk. I was like this.

And I ate every bit of it. Never stopped. It was like, this is so fucking good. But my body was telling me, stop, stop, stop. Not healthy. Yeah. I love it. Amazing.

I love spicy food. I do too. But apparently it's just like a torture. Well, D&P, Chris, I don't think I've ever told you this story. back in a previous incarnation, I was living in another town and I had gone to the local garden store

and bought one four pack of every single different pepper that they had. And so I knew some of them were going to be hot, some of them were bell peppers. I was working out in the garden and I saw this little green bell pepper looking thing. I went, well, that looks good. You know, I'm hungry.

I'm a little thirsty. I think that, you know, it just looked appetizing. I popped the whole thing in my mouth and immediately realized I'd made a huge mistake. It was a Scotch bonnet. And when they're green, they're still hot as fog. And I couldn't breathe. I mean, it was so hot.

and of course I spit it out and I did the worst thing you could do is I tried to drink water and just made it absolutely worse because you know it's oil based and I really thought I was going to die I thought I had killed myself Oh no

Adrenaline Yep and then of course it just went away And it was fine But yeah Be careful If you're going to plant peppers At least put the little stickers on there So you know what the hell they are

Stupid And it's like a fun throw ride. Yeah, or just have, you know, pepper roulette. Oh, no, that's a terrible idea. That's Dr. Stee saying that everybody, Dr. Stee. You know, I'm growing ghost peppers this year. Oh, are you? Yes, because I want to make ghost pepper hot sauce because, you know, I got into fermentation last year.

If you want to make Tabasco sauce, it turns out you have to ferment the shit. Oh, wow. So I had to buy all this fermenting stuff, and I fermented it, and in 3% brine. And then you put it through a food mill and then add 40% apple cider vinegar to it. And then I pasteurized it so that it wouldn't continue to ferment. And Tacey, what's your review of that hot sauce? The hot sauce was excellent. It's this hot sauce radio now.

Yes. Well, that's delicious. Hot talk. Oh, yeah. This is hot on my talk. Did I give you a bottle of it? It's amazing. My bottle's already almost gone.

I like the kombucha bed. Yeah. So then that led into. to making kombucha and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, kombucha is fabulous. So spiciness is not a taste, but rather a reaction generated by what nerve? Oh, I don't know. Oh, I just set you all up for a bell.

What now? Say it again? What was the question? You don't listen. Don't pay attention. Spiciness is not a taste, but rather reaction generated by what nerve? I'm just going to say Vegas because that's the only nerve I know. Hypoglossil nerve. No, the fifth nerve.

What nerve? What is it? Tell us. Trigiminal. Oh, okay. Well, there's no shot in hill I would have ever gotten. I've never even heard that word. Yeah, okay, the facial nerve is motor. Yes, of course.

It has to be trigeminal. All right, let's answer questions. Come on. Good job. All right, okay, okay, okay. Now Tacey's mad because you ask the question she didn't get. No one thing. Don't take advice from some asshole on the radio.

I'm just per congested. projecting taste. I should have gotten that. Yeah, you should have. Honestly. Either one of you, actually. I'm kind of disappointed. Well, I am too.

It makes more sense. That's just a motor for the tongue, though. Of course, the sensory is trigeminal. Come on, guys. Go. It's Saturday. I have the type of question that you used to answer on your show before all the COVID bullshit.

Thank you. Um, my question is, why, after I whack off, do I feel completely depressed and feel like I'm an absolute waste of a human being? Um, did I jizz out all of my serotonin or something? Uh, do you know anything about that? Uh, thank you for your, uh, for your time. Uh, please answer this on the podcast. Okay. You got it, buddy.

Yeah. This, uh, do you guys know what it is? Shame. I'm a loser baby No, this I'm not guessing it And I know it's not the hypoglossal nerve Right No, it is called

Postcoital dysphoria That's a terrible That's a terrible thing Yeah, and postcoital dysphoria Basically is No one really knows what it It may be a decrease A rapid decrease in

oxytocin after that initial rush of oxytocin you know that's sort of the trust nerve or trust hormone that's no matter who you're having intercourse with if you have an orgasm you will love them a little bit just for a second until it goes away and then you oh my god what the fuck did I just do and then right and then you get the hell out of there

and then you leave your $400 bucks on the table. So that's basically where this comes from. Yes, I was going on, Steve. Steve's going to the highfalut side of town. That's what I was thinking. I was thinking 50 bucks, but you know. So, but that's where that, I think, comes from.

Nobody really knows, but it is called post-coital dysphoria. I wonder if any of it's related to trauma. Yes. So one of the hypotheses is that there's, early trauma that was, you know, sexually related or that someone related in their own head. Or shame. I mean, I could see shame. Yeah.

Playing apart. Well, and then, yes, shame type trauma when you're a kid, that kind of stuff, you know, shame for taking pleasure and things. So you can go to a sex therapist for this, but there are some things that you can try. If you just feel like crap afterwards, take a ice cube and hold it in your hand and concentrate on how it feels. And that a lot of times will break that sort of post-coital shame reaction. Of course, it's, you know, so you're having intercourse with someone.

You have this. You have, you know, ice water next to the table. And then you just get up and you hold your ice cube in your hand and just concentrate on the feeling, concentrate on how it, it feels in your hand the mechanism of cold being transmitted from the ice cube to your hand

and when you change your when your mind starts focusing on something else it goes away. A little CBT yes exactly Dr. Scott a little cognitive behavioral therapy so I'm looking at an article here DNP Carissa I'm going to give you a bell give myself a bell

Oh, for goodness. I don't want her on the show anymore. All she's going to do is get bills. It says having a history of childhood sexual abuse might make you more at risk for post-coital dysphoria. Sexual abuse from a young age or in your adult years can cause these symptoms. Physical and emotional abuse may also put you at risk. You know, again, if you have sort of a shame response. In the past, anxiety, resentment, or post-natal depression.

So it's not just limited to men. You know, intimacy, not a factor in post-coital dysphoria. There's no correlation between the two. But if you experience anxiety, depression, and again, childhood or adult trauma, you have a higher chance of having it. So I wonder also if you could look into that further of the opposite. Could you have childhood trauma, adult? trauma, et cetera, and do the complete just opposite and not

have? Yeah, and just be a complete sex addict, you mean? Yeah, yeah, sure. Absolutely. Yeah, it's the natural variation in humans. We can go a lot of different ways. Yeah, 400 bucks a pop. Right? Damn, I'm in the wrong profession, apparently.

All right, let's see. Yes, Dr. Steve. Yeah. Quick question. Been too embarrassed to ask my any of my doctors about it, but I'm on Adderall. I'm 50 years old, been on Adderall, a couple of years, they diagnosed me through the VA. Anyway, 35 milligrams extended release in the morning and 30, 30 milligram, 35 milligrams quick release in the afternoon.

But the question I had was spontaneous ejaculation from the medication. I've been kind of embarrassed to ask about it, but I've noticed when I do take it that you call the right place, by the way, that you're too embarrassed to take it to your regular medical provider. Call us. I just feel like I have to urinate and sometimes semen comes out. Oh, okay. And that's I just wanted to ask about that. Try to look it up.

There's really not too much documentation on it. No. Okay. So he's not really ejaculating. He's not having an orgasm. He just has fluid come out that's not urine. And I'm going to postulate it's not even fully semen. It's prostatic fluid.

Prostatic fluid. Now, actual semen is sort of a mixture of seminal fluid. Prostatic fluid and sperm and cells and sperm cells only about one to two percent of that So it's mostly prostatic fluid and seminal fluid or fluid from the seminal vesicles And you know they kind of mixed together sort of like did you ever have one of those epoxy resin glue things where you it's got a long nozzle on it and then the the resin mixes in the inside the long nozzle because there's like a spiral thing. That's kind of what semen and prostatic fluid do.

They get mixed together and mush together to make one fluid that becomes semen. And then it's got semenogen in it, which will cause it to gel once it hits the inside of the, you know, the vagina and hopefully gets close to the cervix. So it'll just sit there and the sperm cells can do their little job of swimming around trying to find. an egg. We sometimes forget that intercourse was actually invented so that we could further the species. I think the majority of intercourse that happens in this world has nothing to do with trying to, you know, make a child. But anyway, just so that we remember that's what it's there for. So I think what's going on is he's having prostateic congestion. And there is a single study, there's a phase four clinical study of FDA data that talks to this.

It says enlarged prostate is found among people who take adderol, especially for people who are, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, 50 to 59 years old and have been taking the drug for two to five years. That's this guy. Yeah. And so they analyzed which people take Adderall and have enlarged prostate, and they looked at 42,811 people who have side effects when taking Adderall. And, you know, anyway, phase four trials look at post-release data, so post-marketing data. So, yeah, so I think what's going on is he has an enlarged boggy prostate that has lots of prosthetic fluid in it. And I'm going to bet that if he has a giant, just normal American turd that passes through the rectum, because remember, the front part of the rectum is the back part of the prostate, that he will also have fluid come out of the end of his urethra as well.

And so that's most likely what this is. He needs to either jack off more, have more intercourse, or if that doesn't fix it, have his primary care or urologist feel up there and see if they can feel a big, giant, boggy prostate. And when they do that, they should express some fluid out from there. They should hand him a slide or a petri dish and, you know, press down on the prostate.

You go up far up to the right and sort of drag toward the rectum, go to the left, drag toward the rectum, then go in the middle, and, you know, you crook your finger and drag down toward the rectum. When you do that last one and you should express fluid out of the prostate, through hydrodynamics, goes through the urethra and out to the outside world. You can look at it under the microscope and just make sure it's not infected. He could have chronic prostititis, too. It's got nothing to do with this. All right.

Is that a deal? Anybody have anything on that? No. Okay. All right. Very good. You know, Dr. Steve, I was listening to an episode like the other day. I think it was on a serious x-em, but I'm not sure.

Maybe it was on the YouTube's, I don't know. But you had this fucking hot chick on. She was like a cootid doctor. and she was talking about all the nicknames she gives her box and she was like my pecker parker's place and my twat and my

was that Chanda anyway I don't know who he's talking about I don't remember oh my god that chick was so hot and I accidentally rub one off 17 times oh I think he's full of shit

I think you're right it's the first person because I don't remember anybody giving multiple names to we have done that though. That was a long time ago though. When you and I think Sarah and

Wendy and Julie were here, we did a woman show and I asked you what your favorite word for vagina was. That's been ten years ago, Steve. Well, I mean, these things are still out there. Great. And I asked you guys what you think of slit.

I remember that. Oh, I do remember that. And they were not fans of that one. Well, what do you say to that? I don't know. Vertical smile. That's a good. No, I'm talking about what he said. Have you seen that? Congratulations.

Yeah, the first time, well, congratulations to us, because that's the first time that I know of that anyone's ever admitted to beating off listening to our show. I don't know if that deserves a congratulation. Yeah, accidentally 17 times, I think is what he said. Yeah, I think he's full of shit. I'm calling bullshit on that one. I'm with taste. I'm going on to be a year. And I think we deserve. a bell for that. Okay, I'll give you guys a bell for that, just for generating

or causing someone to beat off. Give myself a bell. No, we're calling it bullshit. Oh, okay. But have you ever heard the song Cameltoe? No. Okay, you should listen to it. Really? Okay, well, I will. It's probably copyrighted. If we play it, we'll get a damn strike.

Another strike. Yeah, well, there's like 87 million names of vaginas in that song. Oh, is that what it is? And they are all very rude. Okay. I'm sure they are. They're hilarious. All right. So the song Camel Toe by who? We could read the lyrics.

Dysmorphic head. That's Scott's favorite. Camel Toe lyrics. I can read the lyrics. Do we need to? Oh, that's Bob and Tom. Oh, Bob and Tom. Oh, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love Bob and Tom. Okay, when you're on the beach and your bikini's soaking wet, I see a fuzzy silhouette. Is that the one? Yes. Okay. Yeah, we used to love Bob and Tom. Your biscuit, your beavage, I see your cooter cleavage, your monkey, your muffin, you ain't hiding nothing. Your coochie, your flapper, you're showing off, your snapper.

It's so hilarious, though. Merci, madame, voila le bearded clam. They went a long way to get that to rhyme. I could really go for a sideways sloppy Joe Okay, here where they go They're listing some more Your labia, there you go, your vulva Oh, oh, you know I love you

Your Edna, Vagina, nothing could be fine You're Edna Oh, it's terrible You got a nash-looking Edna in there, My It's furry, it's fluffy, looking kind of puffy Okay, it's blah It looks like a big taco Colin says he thinks it's to a beach boy's melody.

It is. It isn't really your biscuit, your beavage. I see your cuder cleavage, your monkey. Oh, how funny. It is. Honestly, it's amazing. Oh, my God. That's hilarious.

Coca-mo. Yeah, Coca-mo. Yeah, that's it. I cannot think of that song. I was like, it goes to the tune of something, and it's hilarious. That's hilarious. But I'm also a crude individual, so I find it hilarious. We used to love Bob and Tom.

Yeah, and then they got taken off the air. Yeah, and then they started playing in our area. In our area. All right, here's a good one. Hello, folks. Uh-oh. Hey, look, it's Dr. Steve texting me. Holy cow.

Anyway, got a quick question for you. Let's talk about DNA. Okay. And hypothetical, and that's the only thing after freezing is, is hypothetical. Let's say some young lady you had to have a blood transfusion because of a motor vehicle, accident, whatever. Yep. And she took, you know, three units of a blood transfusion.

As long, you know, propping kind, match, okay. But is their DNA involved from the donor of that blood? What if the donor had a chance in their DNA marker of, let's say, cerebral palsy in their family history? Well, cerebral palsy, not genetic, or something like that. Will the donor now have a chance of becoming, or having that gene interact with their system? No. So here's the thing.

Red blood cells don't have DNA, first off, but you can't just get only red blood cells when you do a transfusion. So it won't alter your DNA. But in most people, for a little bit, you can detect very, very, small amounts of the donor's DNA in your blood. So if you are a woman and you got blood transfusion from a dude, you could

pick up the Y chromosome for a little while. But it doesn't stay in your system very long. And on genetic tests, you can tell that it's foreign because it's such a minuscule presence. But it is

there for a little bit. You can't help. You can't, there's nothing you can do to prevent it. If you could only somehow transfuse red blood cells by themselves, then you could do it, but you're going to get some white blood cells, and you're just going to get some other cells in there

that carry some DNA, and you'll be able to detect it. It does not become part of your genome. There's no mechanism for that to happen. Which is a little different than if you get a transplanted organ, which you might pick up some of the characteristics of the donor. Well, again, yeah, I mean, you will show markers for that donor.

But haven't you seen like people that get heart transplants or lung transplants? Maybe they take up the donor's desire for food or smoking. You've never seen that? No. Okay, I'll find it. You're watching too much TLC. Hey, this is, this is voodoo medicine. This is what I'm good.

Voodoo medicine. Yeah, I'm not. I just want to know if you could get a blood transfusion and then go like comitical. crime and leave the blood. And then it would be somebody else's. There have been people who are chimeras. Terrible ideas. Don't do.

There are chimeras. People will have two different sets of DNA in their body. They're called chimeras. And every once in a while, they can commit a crime, and they end up blaming it on somebody else. Usually a family member that has the other DNA. So they could be a fraternal twins. that absorbed

an identical twin or some shit and they were going to be triplets but they were born twins and one of them's a chimera and they can get in trouble and blame the other one. Some shit like that. I've heard of this. It's extremely extremely rare and obviously I'm just

talking out of my ass. Scott, will you write a note that we need to research that so I can say it properly next time? Research what? Kime. I don't know. I was read about to take a spell away when you when you do your notes that's a that's uncalled for that's uncalled for no just when you're sending your notes to say research chimera kind of got you i'm sorry

but i really was looking up something all right what were you looking up well talk if you can get a lung transplant a heart transplant a heart transplant person it has been shown that can have changes in preferences, alterations in temperament, and identity and memories of the donor's life. Get the fuck out of here. PubMed. Suck it. No, I don't care if it's on PubMed. You tell me PubMed's the only thing I can use because it's only reliable source.

It is reliable, but they still have bad studies. Yeah, right, right, right. Okay, what are you looking at? I want to look at this fucking thing. Heart transplant. Okay, here you. What did you search? It's 317.

No, just tell me, heart transplant, and what did you search? Heart transplant and donor personality Donor personality Something like that Okay Because Okay

Hey I can't help if I'm right occasionally I don't see it No What am I writing? I don't see anything about heart transplant Read the article I mean read the abstract Personality changes following heart transplantation

The role of cellular memory Okay It sounds, it sounds real. Okay. It's not how memories are encoded, though. The memories are encoded in energetic things like water. No, fuck. Water carries.

Just look at the whole. I'm looking at this now. This is in a journal called Medical Hypothesis. Well, there you go. Meaning they just make up shit. Well, it means everything starts with a hypothesis, correct? That's correct. There you go.

Have I proven it? Well. Okay. Hang them. No, no, no. No, this is just trans. Epigenetic memory, DNA memory, RNA memory, and protein memory. All right.

I'll do some research on this for next time. Okay. Now, listen, here's how you could, how would we design a study to do this? You would have to completely blind everyone from any characteristics of the donor and the donee, basically, you know, the recipient. And then you would develop an instrument that would say, hey, is this changed? Is this changed? And, of course, that's going to bias them anyway. So you have to say, you know, after your surgery, have you noticed any changes in your likes or whatever?

And then you would have to have gotten that from the donor as well. And then you compare it to a donor family at least. Yeah, and see if there's statistically significant difference. because I think that the rejection drugs and all of the processes that go through and, you know, you're stopping people's heart and they lose blood flow to the brain for a little bit and all kinds of things happen. How could you prove it's directly related to the heart? Well, you wouldn't, but you could show a correlation that there was, yes, this person hated onions. This one loved them. Now all of a sudden they love onions.

But you would have to do it multiple times and show a statistically significance. correlation, because I think that the process itself changes people's brains in subtle ways. Well, that, we know that for effects because, what, 100% of people that have a cardiac event, specifically open heart, transplants, are depressed. But what they're saying is, this is not this, this is something totally different. This is picking up somebody's energy in a different way. Hey, listen, it's, you're the Star Wars guy. We're talking about energy, but it's imprinted. It's imprinted in their cells.

I'm telling you, man, this is real. Well, epigenetics could be a thing. It could be an epigenetic thing. Epigenetics have to do with proteins that turn certain genes on and off. The genes remain the same, but the proteins can turn them on and off. And if this person has epigenetic proteins in the heart that then are transferred to other parts of the body but you know preferences and these kinds of things are encoded in the brain they're not encoded in other proteins so these things that have to cross it's come on no i'm not by that

i mean not to bring up a sore subject but covid completely changed my taste buds yeah sure so i just don't understand how a heart could well because we can't understand it doesn't mean it's not true but there are studies that we could do and yes okay but uh there are studies that we could do to see if there's a correlation. The thing is, is that what Scott's talking about, he has sort of the ancient Greek idea of what consciousness is, is that it's kept in the chest somewhere. The ancient Greeks thought that they thought in their chest, or some of them did. And we now know that we think in our brains, but it can be affected, the way we think

can be affected by things outside the brain, no question about that. Like your penis. Testosterone and stuff like that. Exactly. Exactly. I definitely think by my penis. I mean, we'll have to finish this thing. Okay, we're going to do more research by God.

We'll figure it out. And Scott, look, it's, we don't know everything, obviously. So you were talking earlier about some droplets of water thing. We're a monk, so tell us that story. So they did a study where under microscopy, an electron microscope, they had droplets of water. And they just had some Buddhist monks go and pray or meditate over a couple of these droplets of orders. It actually changed under the electron microscope. It changed the structure of the droplets of water.

It actually changed the structure. They morphed them and move them. Okay, so it changed the shape of the droplets of water. So did they then have just an Elvis impersonator come in and see if they could change it as well without knowing what they were doing? Oh, I think to control was just there was nobody did anything to the other water drop. No, you have to have another person because, you know, were the monks, were they chanting namio horengi Q or something like that over the, if they were making noise, then you have to have somebody else in there making noise. Vibrating. You know?

Yeah, it's a pretty cool movie. It's called What the Blank Do We Know? Okay. Yeah, no, there's all kinds of shit we don't know. There's no question about that. Is that also Dr. Emoto? I think so. Okay.

He's the one with the rice experiment. So what's the rice experiment? A friend of mine actually told me to try this. Well, it was my brother, whatever. He really loves Chinese medicine and all kinds of stuff. So I told him he should talk to you. But the rice experiment, you get three jars and put rice in them. Okay.

And put them in different places in your home. Okay. And one jar you do nothing with. You ignore it. one jar you love for five minutes like whatever i guess just tell it you love it or not really just okay this is taking a turn again um but just like something that you love just talking about it i guess near that jar and then hate is in another room in the house and so you release your hate for five minutes okay and you do that i want to say he told me for 30 days i was trying to find my i just have

brief notes my brother was talking about so many things you're sealing the jars the jars are sealed and after 30 days they change kind of like you were talking about with the water molecules like the one you ignore i don't want to tell you wrong i don't i don't know what they did i would have to find the article this would be a real easy test for us to do yeah so i plan on doing it so maybe you all should do letting out your heat your anger i'm gonna just hate the shit out of that one jar I have a lot of hate right now I love my new puppy so I can do that

so yeah I'll try to find the article So what changes are you Do you see? Basically if I can remember correctly Because again I don't have the article In front of me But the one that you loved

Did did positive things I don't know what Like I don't know the answer to this I'd have to bring up the article I'm trying to just remember this conversation Maybe the one that was ignored kind of dries out, withers. Maybe I'm trying to find it. Again, my brother, when he gets on tangents, he just goes and goes and goes.

And I just try to remember bits and pieces that kind of triggered my interest. Okay, so it says here, Amoto's original experiment, he found the rice that he spoke kind words to remain mostly white, while the rice that he spoke negatively to turned moldy, providing physical evidence of the power of positivity. Okay, now, and again, I'd want three perfectly sterilized jars. The rice handled the same. Well, then get it ready for us.

Let's do it. Okay, and then this has to be reproducible. When you do a study, other people have to be able to reproduce it, you know. But no, I think we don't need fucking rice to tell us that being populated. Positive is a good thing, particularly when it's, they're talking about it. Well, this is proof that you should be positive to your kids. We have other proof that says we should speak positively to our kids. We don't need magic tricks to do that, do we?

Sometimes you do. When you're in a really dark place, it's really nice to have something simple to just prove. Especially rice, you can be nice to. That book, The Power of Positive Thinking is something worth reading. Maybe Krissa. Oh, am I too negative for you all? No, it's a great book, though. I mean, when things get, I've read it a couple of times.

It's an easy, super easy read. And it just, who wrote that book, Steve? What's that called? Power of positive thinking. Okay, Scott, I have the water thing, and what you said was kind of true. a motto separated water into a hundred petri dishes and assigned each dish of fate, good or bad. The good water was blessed or praised for being wonderful.

You know, one day you shall be a water slide. I don't know if water wants to be a water slide. I don't think maybe that's, maybe they're like, oh, fuck, we're going to be a water slide. People's filthy asses on us. Yay, splash country. The bad water was. scolded. Each

petri dish was frozen allegedly under allegedly under similar conditions and lo and behold when the frozen water was viewed under a microscope the water which had been praised and valued had rearranged itself into beautiful

crystalline structures. The bad water was as ugly as ice crystals can get showing lack of symmetry and more overall jaggedness. But that's also biased. What if you thought the ugly ones were pretty. That's right.

Yeah, yeah. Maybe the crystal ones were water molecules committing suicide because this idiot was talking to them like the children. He's not an idiot. No, I'm just saying that. No, I'm not saying he's an idiot. I'm not saying he's an idiot. So I'm just saying the water is saying that because somebody's talking to them, you know, like, ooh. Water has energy, right?

Maybe if you talk to your lavender, it would already be flowering. But now, seriously, water has energy, right? Because that's why you have to wipe yourself off after taking a shower because it sticks to you. Okay. Well, it's electrical, right? Oh, my God. What is it? Oh, my God, I can't.

Yes, yes. Yes. There, water has a dipole moment. That is true because it's hydrogen and two oxygen and it has a slight dipole moment. Right. That's what you're asking about. Because if it didn't, and you... You took a shower.

You didn't have to have a towel. Everything. Okay. Everything has energy that exists in this universe. That is absolutely true. E equals MC squared, right? So that is the equivalence of mass and energy when mass is at rest. And so yes, everything has energy.

but so what? It doesn't mean that it has feelings. Depending on how you define feelings. This has been, this study has been reproduced multiple times. And when I say reproduced, they've tried to do the study and they can't reproduce the findings. It says here, Dr. Almodo's assertion that intention can affect sappy rice doesn't hold water. You know, that was not reproducible. So anyway.

Maybe they had some sour-puss doctor trying to change the... Sour-puss-doctor. Trying to get good energy to the rise. I'm going to act like I'm giving you positive feedback, but I'm not going to do it. This is all faith-based, and it's fine. You can believe whatever you want, but science just doesn't work on faith-based statements. Well, some science does. Some of the shit that we went through for the last two years was touted to be.

science, but was indeed faith-based. So, you know, but yeah, we could do the study. I'm interested in doing it. Fuck, I'm interested in anything. I've had things in my life that have happened that I can't explain. You know, we can't explain consciousness. A consciousness can explain all kinds of things, but it can't explain itself. Which means it doesn't exist?

No, no. It means something much, much deeper than that. We can't understand it. Hold out your right finger. point it out away from you. Okay. Now, touch the tip of your right finger with the tip of your right finger. That is an experience you will never have.

You cannot have that experience. You can touch it with other things, but that's, you know, you think about it. There's all kinds of ways that we are constrained, and we don't even realize it. Unless, you may say, well, that's trivial, but think about it. it's actually sort of profound that there are experiences that we cannot have even though we're here in this world and not just crazy transcendental experiences, very mundane experiences. So, you know, that's Alan Watson. I mean, I'm a huge Alan Watts fan.

I'm a fan of Zen Buddhism and metaphysics, but I'm also interested in not bullshitting people by thinking that you can, that Rice has feelings. But anyway, we'll see. We'll just, by God, do it, and we'll buy God to see. And then we'll cook the rice and see if it tasted. But rice being a vegetable was a living thing, right? So it's got to have energy. It's got to have...

Okay, well, the rice. Light rice is just basically the starch left that was the food for the seed. It's not the actual seed. It's just sugar. Yeah. Energy, baby. So? Didn't mean it has feelings.

Wrap it up. Let's get out of here. You don't have feelings either. I don't. I do have feelings. I have very intense feelings. Thank you. All right.
