Mother Knows Dad starring Nicole and Jemmy and Maria qk Hi.
Everyone welcome The Mother Knows Death. Labor Day is next week,
so I guess that means we are officially wrapping up summer.
(00:28):
So let's talk about some summertime specific injuries. First, we're
going to talk about our favorite baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies,
and an emergency surgery one of our star pitchers had
to have last week. Then we'll talk about the dangers
of hot tubs, the dangers of peeing in the pool,
and the phenomenon known as summer penis. All that and
(00:50):
more on Tiddy's episode. Let's get started with Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
All right, so two weeks ago he's put on the aisle,
which to everybody was like, are you serious because we're
doing like pretty good right now, and he's he's like
our best picture too, He's their best picture. You know,
we used to at least have like Nola last year,
but he's slipping a little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
But like, no, we have good We have good pictures
this year.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Though, yeah, I mean last year this would have been
totally fatal to the rest of the season. I mean,
it's still gonna take it. They're still gonna take a
hit with it. But he went on the al for
a blood clot and now it came out that he
needs surgery for venus theoretic outlet syndrome. What is this?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Normally, when we hear that a person has a blood clot,
we my first question is why, because normal people that
are healthy do not get blood clots, certainly people that
are thirty five years old, like Zakuiller. So when we
think about this, like oftentimes people get blood clots that
(01:49):
have they might have cancer, or they might have a
clotting disorder, they might be on a certain medication that
causes their blood to clot, and most commonly that occurs
in the deep veins of the legs. And the reason
that that is such a it could be really a
deadly pathology to have, is because that blood clot could
travel to the lungs and it could get caught in
(02:10):
the lungs and it could cause a person to drop dead. Well,
a similar thing could happen if you have blood clots
in any other area of the body too, And he
had one in one of the vessels in his upper arm.
Now this is a very unusual location, so you're going
to be like, Okay, it's already unusual that he is
a blood clot and then he also has a blood
(02:31):
clot in one of the veins in his arm, so
obviously that is due to something. So I believe they
haven't really said this, but I believe that he has
a condition that's called Paget Schroeder syndrome, and that is
a specific clotting disorder that is seen specifically in baseball
(02:54):
players or any kind of athlete that uses their dominant arm.
And when you have that, what happens is it's similar
to what Maria said in the article that they said
he has thrustic outlet syndrome, because what happens is when
you're using your arm and you're doing these repetitive throws
(03:16):
of throwing balls that are almost one hundred miles an
hour all of the time, the scalien muscles of the
arm begin to get bigger, and they get bigger than
they would get in an average person that's just using
their arm in a normal way. And what happens is
that those blood vessels and nerves that are going from
the chest to the arm, they get squeezed in this
(03:39):
little tight area because the muscle is too big, and
it could affect that nerve that's going through there, and
it could affect that blood vessel that's going through there.
And that's what happened in the case with Zach Wheeler,
that the blood vessel was getting kind of kinked and
it was causing the blood to start clotting up and
eventually it formed clots there. Now, this was considered an
(04:01):
emergency surgery when they realized that he had this, and
I'm actually wondering how quickly this came on, because if
you recall, he started falling off a little bit right
before this diagnosis, which is interesting to me. So they
have to address this immediately because they don't want that
blood clot to travel to his lungs because it could
(04:22):
literally kill him. So that was an emergency surgery that
they had to do, called thrombolysis, which was to get
rid of the clot. And now they're saying that they
need to do another surgery, which I assume they haven't
said this is that they're going to be removing his
first rib in order to take this compression off, and
that's why they're saying that he's going to be out
(04:45):
for six to eight months because he has to have
this surgery for this thoracic outlet syndrome. So they remove
the rib so there's breathing room again for that blood
vessel and for those muscles that are bigger in a pitcher. Now,
the good news is with Zach Wheeler is that it
appears that he only had this blood clot in the vessel,
(05:06):
but the nerve that goes because all of the nerves
and the blood vessels and in your body, like Van's
arteries and nerves, they piggy back each other, so they're
all close together. The good news is is that his
nerve seems to be okay, which would make us a
little worried when he comes back that he might not
be able to ever throw like he did before again.
(05:28):
But since it only appears to be that his blood
vessel was damaged in this, that's something that is more
It has a more positive outcome. So I'm hoping that
just when he comes back next season, after he heals
from having the surgery done, that he'll be all good
to go again for our Phillies.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah, but I guess depending on how the surgery goes,
he might not even come back to the middle of
next season. Well, yeah, I mean if you think about
getting the bone. I actually have a case of this
in my book for thrust outlet syndrome, and a young
female who also was She was a cheerleader and she
was lifting people above her head, right, So this same thing,
(06:10):
the repetitive the repetitive motion with the arm, and she
had to have the surgery. And the picture in the
book is really cool because she has a picture of
her first rib like in her hand. That's the picture
from the book. And yes, it will take some a
while for him to heal from that. And this is
all very like a kind of a stressful situation for
(06:31):
his family. I think he just had a baby like
a month ago. Yeah, they just had a baby.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, So I feel bad for his wife, especially obviously
because I know that that's just a lot to go through.
But he'll be fine. I mean, he has the best
doctors ever taking care of him and stuff. It's just
like he just has to heal and that's it. So
it's so he could go on to win that cy
Young Award that he was looking to get this year.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, I'm sure the organization is stoked because this is
the first year of his three year, one hundred and
twenty six million dollar extension, so they.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Maybe I don't feel so bad for his wife. You
know what, I lied, I'm taking that back.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I mean, with that money though, he can get the
best care in the world, and obviously the team is
going to make sure he's getting the best care in
the world. But I'm sure they're not stoked he's not
going to be around for the rest of this year.
If they get to playoffs next year, if he was
eligible to go to the All Star Game, which we're
hosting as well, maybe he could be back in time
for the Field of Dream Games, which is apparently Gabe
(07:30):
stream game evers.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
We'll see. All right, let's talk about these ladies, these
old ladies that got stuck in the hot tub.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
All right, So a group of women in their eighties
were staying at a remote cabin in Kentucky. They go
in the hot tub, but after a while, two of
the women can't get out and had to be rescued.
So I was under the assumption, which is I guess
mean and judgmental of me, that they just couldn't get
up because they were older and they couldn't physically get out.
But that's not really what was going on.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, I was just having this conversation with someone that
was at our house this weekend because we have a
hot tub attached to the pool, and someone said to me, Oh,
does your dad go in there? It's probably really good
for his arthritis and stuff, And I'm like, no, Actually
he went in there once and he got in very easily,
and then he couldn't get out and it was really
(08:20):
hard for us, Like we all had to lift them out, right, Yeah,
like Gabe, like a fireman had to get him out
of the hot tub. Now, think about a bunch of
old ladies like getting into a hot tub and possibly
not being able to get out. But to what they
weren't able to get all of them out, and there
was a point where they were overheating and starting to
show signs of hyperthermia, and some of the women had
(08:43):
to go in and tried to prevent their bodies from
slipping down underneath of the water until first responders got there.
It just sounds like it was a really scary situation.
And then the first responders got there and pulled them
out and put them under cold water, and we're putting
ice on them to warm their body or to cool
their bodies down, which was really smart thinking on their part,
(09:06):
instead of just throwing them in the ambulance and bringing
them to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I was thinking how hard, you know, depending I
don't know how mountainous this region is or anything. I
was thinking of when we go to like Gatlinburg, you know,
how like crazy those roads are getting up to some
of the houses. If the rescue was maybe delayed because
of that. I also think it's kind of cool that
a bunch of women in their eighties went on like
a girl's streak.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I thought. I was thinking that too. I was like,
this is so cool, but it is. It is something
to think about because I'm telling you like it happened
to my dad like he was because getting into the
hot top, it was like sitting on a ledge and
then pull like pulling yourself down right, which is easier
than pulling yourself up. And like I think if that
(09:50):
was let's say that was just me and my dad
one afternoon, I would have had to call nine one one,
like I wouldn't to be able to get him out.
Thank god, Gabe was there. I woult to, like, you know,
this could have happened to anyone. And it's also just
important to know as far as the hot tubs too,
that a lot of people don't realize that you're only
supposed to stay in them for like twenty minutes. They're
(10:12):
very hot, one hundred and mine goes up to one
hundred and four degrees.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, let me tell you how I'd like to sit
in one for like two hours, which is like everyone would.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's the problem though, and you could really have hyperthermia,
and it's really not good to raise your body temperature
that high. And even like with the kids, I lower
it is. I think the lowest I could put it
as like ninety nine degrees, which is still kind of high.
But I in twenty minutes, I'm like, you guys got
to get out, and then like I let them go.
(10:41):
I go go in the pool for a little bit
and then go back in because you really, you really
shouldn't have children have their body temperature raise that high either.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This episode is about to you by the Gross Room guys.
Tomorrow is our YouTube live. Make sure you check that out.
We also have a couple interesting cases in the Gross Room.
One was a person that was attacked by a dog
and killed, and one was a person that was accidentally
killed getting a medical procedure done, which is super scary.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So we get into that all that and more in
the Gross Room. Check out are live tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, head over to the grossroom dot com now for
access info. Since summer is coming to an end, let's
talk about peeing in pools. So a survey was done
that forty American adults admitted to peeing in the pool, which, like,
I don't know, do you think that that's like a
(11:45):
little outrageous for grown ups? Yeah, as adults, because I'm
like I one hundred percent did when I was a
little kid, but I haven't as an adult. But also, like,
it's not if it was my pool that I owned,
I might feel differently about it, But I'm not gonna
go to somebody else's house and do it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's kind of rude. I like, I guess I'm gonna
sound like a hypocrite right now, But like, if you
like peeing in the ocean, I told one of my
kids to do it when we were on the beach
last week. Because there's no porta potties or anything, there's
nowhere to go to the bathroom unless you have You're
just like one of the fortunate ones that could own
a house anywhere near the beach, which we certainly are not,
(12:22):
So like where are they going to go? Otherwise we
have to get in the car and like drive twenty
blocks to get to Wawa to go to the bathroom.
Like go in the ocean. Fine, but when you're at
a pool, there's there's it's a pool. Is at a pool,
like like a public pool or a pool club or
a house, there's always a toilet nearby. Right, It's just
(12:43):
kind of laziness to not get out and go to
the bathroom. Yeah, I mean I understand it for an adult.
It's just it's just kind of like why I.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Kind of understand it because it's like a laziness component. Also,
like there truly is not a grocer feeling than going
in the bathroom and trying to peel like a wet
eatings off of your body.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's it does suck. Listen, Like especially my house because
my house is so old, I keep it freezing colds
just so the upstairs is tolerable at night. When you
come in this house out of the pool to pee,
your bathing suits soaking wet, it's hard to get down
and it's like zero degrees. It's the most uncomfortable thing ever.
Plus it like leaves it butt cheek wet butt cheeks
(13:24):
on the Toilet's see there's water all over I you know,
but listen, I would prefer people to just come in
my house and make a mess instead of peeing in
the pool because it's just it's just really gross. But
way to hear the statistics, because it's it's really disgusting.
So this journal called Environmental Science and Technology Letters analyzed
(13:45):
water samples from thirty one pools and hot tubs and
discovered that two hundred and twenty thousand gallon pool contained
about twenty gallons of pea like ew. To think about
that next time you're in a in a public pool
and or maybe even a private pool and like swallowing water.
(14:07):
It's really it's really disgusting. But so what happens is
the chemicals that are present in our urine can have
a chemical reaction with chlorine, which puts off a gas.
So that's why sometimes they say, like when you're at
Great Wolf Lodge, the worst place on the planet, by
the way, when you smell that really strong heavy chlorine smell,
(14:30):
it could be because there's more P than average, Like
it's the fumes that are coming off. Yeah, and also
I mean like that place is contained, there is there
has to be some kind of ventilation, but it's not
that good. But you know, you've been to places where
like you're like this shit is burning my eyes it
is so strong. And they say that that happens because
of because of P.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That is like disgusting.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It is really disgusting. But like from a biological standpoint,
P doesn't is usually sterile and doesn't really have anything,
and it's super infectious if you're just like an average person.
So it's not like if you get some in your
mouth or whatever, it's not really gonna make you sick.
We've talked about this before with people like peeing in
(15:14):
water coolers or whatever people are doing, but like it's
it's gross. It's just a lot different when you're talking
about like pooping in a pool, because poop does carry
bacteria that could make people sick.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I mean, listen, if you're pooping in the pool, you
got a problem, Like I don't. I could understand people
wanting to pee in the pool and thinking it'll like
kind of work itself out. Pooping in a pool is
absolutely disgusting behavior.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, but but like little like for an adult, it
absolutely is, but like for like a child though, that's
like three, like it might a turd might just slip out.
You don't know, they don't. They don't really understand. They don't.
They don't understand that, you know. So yeah, all right,
let's let's wrap this up with summer penis.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
All right, there's a newer phenomenon called summer penis, So, like,
what is this exactly?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
There's not like much medical evidence for it to say
exactly what's going on, but they like to describe it
as being similar to and you could relate to this,
like especially in the summer. It's like in the summer,
my wedding ring is so tight on my hand, Like
I couldn't even get it off right now if I tried.
(16:26):
My hands are swollen in the summer, and then in
the winter, especially when I'm outside in the cold, like
my spring almost falls off. I'm scared I'm gonna lose
it because my hands are so thin. And it's probably
just a similar mechanism of like the blood vessels dilating
when they're warmer and shrinking when they're smaller. And we
also know that with men because they're you know, their
(16:47):
testicles hold the sperm and they like to be a
very certain temperature. So if they get too warm, then
the balls hang low, and if they get too cold,
then the balls shrink up. Right. I actually like it's
kind of like that Seinfeld episode right with the like
I was in the pool. Yeah, why it looks little.
(17:07):
So I have a really cool video. This is like
not really the same thing, but same thing. One of
the first videos I ever posted in the Grosser Room
was called Shrinkage if you search it in there, and
it's like this experiment that this I don't know if
it's a couple or whatever, but it's not a medical
video by any means. And this guy like caught a
(17:29):
hole in his pants and his balls are hanging out
and they show how they like hang and then retract
like and go up and shrink up. It's like so
cool to watch because like a guy probably knows that
that happens, but like we don't have balls, so we're
not like observing what they do all day. But it's
it is very interesting that the sperm like to keep
(17:50):
a certain temperature and that's how they do it by
like retracting up and down like that. So if it's
hot and your balls are hanging low, like it's gonna
make your junk look bigger too, right, I.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Mean, I truly could not ignore the one quote from
this article, which was in the summer, My dick tends
to be consistently larger when I look in the mirror,
and my biggest measurements have been taken in the summer.
Why are men so obsessed with measuring their so bizarre?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It really is women are.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
They measuring their labes or their boobs?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Like so like it's we don't have like well yeah,
but listen, there's plenty of women that are are obsessed
with what size their boobs are.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Like who cares you are what you are?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Who cares keep people listen? The penis measurement thing is
the thing. We've talked about this multiple times on this show.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It starts with loving yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's actually it's actually bizarre that it's done so many
times that like a guy could actually notice if he's
bigger at a certain time of year because of the temperature,
Like what is it millimeters? Like it's just so bizarre.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And what what is the difference. It's just like, why
are you your time?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
It makes so like more of a man, that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Well, it's definitely an interesting theory, I guess. But just
let's just keep too, let's keep pouring all the money
into research over things like this and not helping women.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It's very important. Hair loss is not important, you know,
cancer is not important. Adimetris is not important. This is
very important. This is so important. Okay, guys, we are

book is really cool because she has a picture of
her first rib like in her hand. That's the picture
from the book. And yes, it will take some a
while for him to heal from that. And this is
all very like a kind of a stressful situation for
(06:31):
his family. I think he just had a baby like
a month ago. Yeah, they just had a baby.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, So I feel bad for his wife, especially obviously
because I know that that's just a lot to go through.
But he'll be fine. I mean, he has the best
doctors ever taking care of him and stuff. It's just
like he just has to heal and that's it. So
it's so he could go on to win that cy
Young Award that he was looking to get this year.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Well, I'm sure the organization is stoked because this is
the first year of his three year, one hundred and
twenty six million dollar extension, so they.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Maybe I don't feel so bad for his wife. You
know what, I lied, I'm taking that back.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I mean, with that money though, he can get the
best care in the world, and obviously the team is
going to make sure he's getting the best care in
the world. But I'm sure they're not stoked he's not
going to be around for the rest of this year.
If they get to playoffs next year, if he was
eligible to go to the All Star Game, which we're
hosting as well, maybe he could be back in time
for the Field of Dream Games, which is apparently Gabe
(07:30):
stream game evers.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
We'll see. All right, let's talk about these ladies, these
old ladies that got stuck in the hot tub.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
All right, So a group of women in their eighties
were staying at a remote cabin in Kentucky. They go
in the hot tub, but after a while, two of
the women can't get out and had to be rescued.
So I was under the assumption, which is I guess
mean and judgmental of me, that they just couldn't get
up because they were older and they couldn't physically get out.
But that's not really what was going on.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Well, I was just having this conversation with someone that
was at our house this weekend because we have a
hot tub attached to the pool, and someone said to me, Oh,
does your dad go in there? It's probably really good
for his arthritis and stuff, And I'm like, no, Actually
he went in there once and he got in very easily,
and then he couldn't get out and it was really
(08:20):
hard for us, Like we all had to lift them out, right, Yeah,
like Gabe, like a fireman had to get him out
of the hot tub. Now, think about a bunch of
old ladies like getting into a hot tub and possibly
not being able to get out. But to what they
weren't able to get all of them out, and there
was a point where they were overheating and starting to
show signs of hyperthermia, and some of the women had
(08:43):
to go in and tried to prevent their bodies from
slipping down underneath of the water until first responders got there.
It just sounds like it was a really scary situation.
And then the first responders got there and pulled them
out and put them under cold water, and we're putting
ice on them to warm their body or to cool
their bodies down, which was really smart thinking on their part,
(09:06):
instead of just throwing them in the ambulance and bringing
them to the hospital.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I was thinking how hard, you know, depending I
don't know how mountainous this region is or anything. I
was thinking of when we go to like Gatlinburg, you know,
how like crazy those roads are getting up to some
of the houses. If the rescue was maybe delayed because
of that. I also think it's kind of cool that
a bunch of women in their eighties went on like
a girl's streak.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I thought. I was thinking that too. I was like,
this is so cool, but it is. It is something
to think about because I'm telling you like it happened
to my dad like he was because getting into the
hot top, it was like sitting on a ledge and
then pull like pulling yourself down right, which is easier
than pulling yourself up. And like I think if that
(09:50):
was let's say that was just me and my dad
one afternoon, I would have had to call nine one one,
like I wouldn't to be able to get him out.
Thank god, Gabe was there. I woult to, like, you know,
this could have happened to anyone. And it's also just
important to know as far as the hot tubs too,
that a lot of people don't realize that you're only
supposed to stay in them for like twenty minutes. They're
(10:12):
very hot, one hundred and mine goes up to one
hundred and four degrees.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, let me tell you how I'd like to sit
in one for like two hours, which is like everyone would.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
That's the problem though, and you could really have hyperthermia,
and it's really not good to raise your body temperature
that high. And even like with the kids, I lower
it is. I think the lowest I could put it
as like ninety nine degrees, which is still kind of high.
But I in twenty minutes, I'm like, you guys got
to get out, and then like I let them go.
(10:41):
I go go in the pool for a little bit
and then go back in because you really, you really
shouldn't have children have their body temperature raise that high either.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This episode is about to you by the Gross Room guys.
Tomorrow is our YouTube live. Make sure you check that out.
We also have a couple interesting cases in the Gross Room.
One was a person that was attacked by a dog
and killed, and one was a person that was accidentally
killed getting a medical procedure done, which is super scary.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
So we get into that all that and more in
the Gross Room. Check out are live tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, head over to the grossroom dot com now for
access info. Since summer is coming to an end, let's
talk about peeing in pools. So a survey was done
that forty American adults admitted to peeing in the pool, which, like,
I don't know, do you think that that's like a
(11:45):
little outrageous for grown ups? Yeah, as adults, because I'm
like I one hundred percent did when I was a
little kid, but I haven't as an adult. But also, like,
it's not if it was my pool that I owned,
I might feel differently about it, But I'm not gonna
go to somebody else's house and do it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It's kind of rude. I like, I guess I'm gonna
sound like a hypocrite right now, But like, if you
like peeing in the ocean, I told one of my
kids to do it when we were on the beach
last week. Because there's no porta potties or anything, there's
nowhere to go to the bathroom unless you have You're
just like one of the fortunate ones that could own
a house anywhere near the beach, which we certainly are not,
(12:22):
So like where are they going to go? Otherwise we
have to get in the car and like drive twenty
blocks to get to Wawa to go to the bathroom.
Like go in the ocean. Fine, but when you're at
a pool, there's there's it's a pool. Is at a pool,
like like a public pool or a pool club or
a house, there's always a toilet nearby. Right, It's just
(12:43):
kind of laziness to not get out and go to
the bathroom. Yeah, I mean I understand it for an adult.
It's just it's just kind of like why I.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Kind of understand it because it's like a laziness component. Also,
like there truly is not a grocer feeling than going
in the bathroom and trying to peel like a wet
eatings off of your body.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It's it does suck. Listen, Like especially my house because
my house is so old, I keep it freezing colds
just so the upstairs is tolerable at night. When you
come in this house out of the pool to pee,
your bathing suits soaking wet, it's hard to get down
and it's like zero degrees. It's the most uncomfortable thing ever.
Plus it like leaves it butt cheek wet butt cheeks
(13:24):
on the Toilet's see there's water all over I you know,
but listen, I would prefer people to just come in
my house and make a mess instead of peeing in
the pool because it's just it's just really gross. But
way to hear the statistics, because it's it's really disgusting.
So this journal called Environmental Science and Technology Letters analyzed
(13:45):
water samples from thirty one pools and hot tubs and
discovered that two hundred and twenty thousand gallon pool contained
about twenty gallons of pea like ew. To think about
that next time you're in a in a public pool
and or maybe even a private pool and like swallowing water.
(14:07):
It's really it's really disgusting. But so what happens is
the chemicals that are present in our urine can have
a chemical reaction with chlorine, which puts off a gas.
So that's why sometimes they say, like when you're at
Great Wolf Lodge, the worst place on the planet, by
the way, when you smell that really strong heavy chlorine smell,
(14:30):
it could be because there's more P than average, Like
it's the fumes that are coming off. Yeah, and also
I mean like that place is contained, there is there
has to be some kind of ventilation, but it's not
that good. But you know, you've been to places where
like you're like this shit is burning my eyes it
is so strong. And they say that that happens because
of because of P.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
That is like disgusting.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It is really disgusting. But like from a biological standpoint,
P doesn't is usually sterile and doesn't really have anything,
and it's super infectious if you're just like an average person.
So it's not like if you get some in your
mouth or whatever, it's not really gonna make you sick.
We've talked about this before with people like peeing in
(15:14):
water coolers or whatever people are doing, but like it's
it's gross. It's just a lot different when you're talking
about like pooping in a pool, because poop does carry
bacteria that could make people sick.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I mean, listen, if you're pooping in the pool, you
got a problem, Like I don't. I could understand people
wanting to pee in the pool and thinking it'll like
kind of work itself out. Pooping in a pool is
absolutely disgusting behavior.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, but but like little like for an adult, it
absolutely is, but like for like a child though, that's
like three, like it might a turd might just slip out.
You don't know, they don't. They don't really understand. They don't.
They don't understand that, you know. So yeah, all right,
let's let's wrap this up with summer penis.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
All right, there's a newer phenomenon called summer penis, So, like,
what is this exactly?
Speaker 1 (16:05):
There's not like much medical evidence for it to say
exactly what's going on, but they like to describe it
as being similar to and you could relate to this,
like especially in the summer. It's like in the summer,
my wedding ring is so tight on my hand, Like
I couldn't even get it off right now if I tried.
(16:26):
My hands are swollen in the summer, and then in
the winter, especially when I'm outside in the cold, like
my spring almost falls off. I'm scared I'm gonna lose
it because my hands are so thin. And it's probably
just a similar mechanism of like the blood vessels dilating
when they're warmer and shrinking when they're smaller. And we
also know that with men because they're you know, their
(16:47):
testicles hold the sperm and they like to be a
very certain temperature. So if they get too warm, then
the balls hang low, and if they get too cold,
then the balls shrink up. Right. I actually like it's
kind of like that Seinfeld episode right with the like
I was in the pool. Yeah, why it looks little.
(17:07):
So I have a really cool video. This is like
not really the same thing, but same thing. One of
the first videos I ever posted in the Grosser Room
was called Shrinkage if you search it in there, and
it's like this experiment that this I don't know if
it's a couple or whatever, but it's not a medical
video by any means. And this guy like caught a
(17:29):
hole in his pants and his balls are hanging out
and they show how they like hang and then retract
like and go up and shrink up. It's like so
cool to watch because like a guy probably knows that
that happens, but like we don't have balls, so we're
not like observing what they do all day. But it's
it is very interesting that the sperm like to keep
(17:50):
a certain temperature and that's how they do it by
like retracting up and down like that. So if it's
hot and your balls are hanging low, like it's gonna
make your junk look bigger too, right, I.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Mean, I truly could not ignore the one quote from
this article, which was in the summer, My dick tends
to be consistently larger when I look in the mirror,
and my biggest measurements have been taken in the summer.
Why are men so obsessed with measuring their so bizarre?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It really is women are.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
They measuring their labes or their boobs?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Like so like it's we don't have like well yeah,
but listen, there's plenty of women that are are obsessed
with what size their boobs are.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Like who cares you are what you are?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Who cares keep people listen? The penis measurement thing is
the thing. We've talked about this multiple times on this show.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It starts with loving yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's actually it's actually bizarre that it's done so many
times that like a guy could actually notice if he's
bigger at a certain time of year because of the temperature,
Like what is it millimeters? Like it's just so bizarre.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And what what is the difference. It's just like, why
are you your time?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
It makes so like more of a man, that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Well, it's definitely an interesting theory, I guess. But just
let's just keep too, let's keep pouring all the money
into research over things like this and not helping women.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It's very important. Hair loss is not important, you know,
cancer is not important. Adimetris is not important. This is
very important. This is so important. Okay, guys, we are
