Speaker 1 (00:00):
My favorite ones. It's a set off whiskey flavored. It's rice,
scotch and bourbon. Don't brush and drive. As you can see,
it's the world's largest toothpaste collection. Over here we have
toothpaste mostly from Asia, and we're talking career China, Japan
(00:20):
with some unusual looks and flavors like bamboo chocolate flavored.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Our charming Charming Foreign Accent contest. The nominations are now closed.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Listen longcelarious. I found that very amusing. What was that?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That is? Go ahead, Michael. That is a Georgia dentist
who has two thirty seven tubes of toothpaste, the world's
biggest collection.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Okay, can I hear the at least the first part again?
Because I really enjoyed the way A couple of.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
My favorite ones. It's a set off whiskey flavored. It's
ry cootch and lubon.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Uh what this is just mocking foreigners? What is this
has becoming? That's stuff and I.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Won't have it. I don't have that sort of passion
for anything. I don't. Maybe I should be glad. Judy
is certainly glad that I don't really collect anything. I
think it could be dangerous if I started, did you ever? Yeah,
I collected beer cans when kids my age were collecting
beer cans in.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
The seven everybody our age collected beer cans at one point.
I guess I sort of collected albums. I had, you know,
a thousand or so. Yeah. I don't think having a
bunch of stuff is the same as collecting, because you
are you have to just, you know, be into I
don't know the way you display them and record the
stuff you have and don't have. I don't know that
(01:52):
you see other I kind of always wanted to collec
stuff to because I saw people do it and look
kind of cool, and I just never got into it.
I got I tried stamps for a while, I did
coins a little bit, various things like that, but I
never really got into anything. My son's super into baseball
cards right now, even though he doesn't really watch baseball,
he's into the He likes the idea of collecting things.
Bourbon Bourbon toothpaste is particularly unique, though.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, I think it'd be too easy to get to
carried away.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So you think that's interesting. You say you think it
would be dangerous for you. You feel like you can't
be trusted in collecting.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, I just I have enough disposable cash at this
point in my life. Unless I was collecting like vintage
automobiles or something like that some people call them cars.
I uh, I just think I would What would be
the limiting factor? Right? Physical space?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
And who am I going to hear? One thing? I've
always thought, who am I going to unless I'm just
personally enjoying it, which maybe you do. Who am I
going to tell about this? Who gives a crap or
would want to see it? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Then? Maybe I'm on the local news for two minutes
at the end of the newscast or something. But if
it brings you joy, I mean joy, enjoy whatever joy
you can get. I'm not judging in anybody. Had two
fascinating bits of musical collector trivia. Ron Mail of the
group Sparks has an enormous snow globe collection, and I'm
(03:22):
kinda jealous of that.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's a cool thing to collect. Everywhere you go get
snow globes. Yeah, And my musical hero, Geddy Lee of Rush.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
He's a hardcore baseball fan and he has one of
the world's most valuable collections Baseball Memorabile he's got like
half a dozen Cy Young baseballs and this signed by
Babe Ruth and the home plate from whatever it's it's
it's immense. And he's a type a guy. You go,
that's why he's such a brilliant musician. But he's I
(03:54):
can't even imagine what he's spent on. That collection's millions
of dollars. Anyway, back to tooth Fast, I came across
this and it shocked me. I remember reading something of
this effect, you know, various times through my life. But
the connection between oral health and your health in general
is becoming They're learning more and more about it, and
(04:15):
it's becoming more and more stark. Poor excuse me, poor
vocal cord strength is what I need to look into.
Poor oral hygienis associated with an increased risk for myriad
health problems. They've known this heart disease, diabetes, cancer, rheumatiite, arthritis,
and early death. The state of our teeth and gums
(04:39):
may be vital for our well being beyond the mouth
and body, though emerging evidence suggests that what goes on
on in our mouth can affect what goes on in
our brain and may even potentially affect our risk for dementia.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Why did we evolve this way? Is it because we're
eating stuff we weren't designed to eat? Is that where
it all came from. We wouldn't have this problem if
we were eating the things we were designed to eat.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I don't know about that. I just I don't think
we're designed to live much beyond fifty honestly, judging by
the way I feel most mornings.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, that's always something I think about. The machine is
only supposed to get us to breeding age, which for
male you know is like thirteen.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And protecting our young until they can bring.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Yeah, and then be able to raise those kids until
they're old enough to procreate. So yeah, if you're on
some say start.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
A family and not breed, that's up to you.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But well, thinking evolutionary speaking, I don't I'll use that term,
you know, contemporarily. You know, I don't suggest you get
married and say when should we start breeding?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, are you two kids gonna start breeding?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
But that math works out perfect on that. So if you,
if you become able to father a child, continue the
species at roughly thirteen, and then your only point then
is to raise that child to old enough to also
pro create another thirteen fourteen years. It gets to what
(06:04):
twenty six, twenty seven, eight twenty years old, which seems
to be about the absolute peak we all know of
our physical abilities, and it's all downhill from there. That
that makes perfectly sense, and God has our Nature's done
with us at that point. What you do is on
a golf collect toothpaste. Whatever you want to do is fine,
but we're done with you. We only set up the
machine to go that long. My only caveat to that.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Is that you know, they would have many more kids
back in the day, and you would continue to produce
children into your middle ages. Certainly, but then plus fifteen years,
we're done here.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But also, having observed it from giant families, I knew
then you got the older kids taking care of the
younger kids pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Interesting though, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
That fits right in without about the time we start
to go downhill.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, it's interesting. I think we're just we're like a
car that every single part was designed to last fifty
thousand miles. But now we've figured out how to get
the car to go far much farther than that. But
the belts and tires are wearing out. Oh my tires
are bald, Yeah, tell me about it. Oh, Allow of
(07:11):
that severe periodontal disease. Chronic inflammation damage to the gums
and bone that support the teeth effects about nineteen percent
of people older than fifteen in the world, almost one
in five, more than a billion people worldwide. More researchers needed,
but recent observational studies have suggested that oral health may
be a modifiable risk factor for Alzheimer's. The most common
(07:32):
kind of dementia. My used to do with the bacteria
getting into your your bloodstream.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yes, my, you joints have a lot of play in them.
If we've said this before, but it's true and it
fits in with this. If you could go back in time,
so it would be really cool. I get a time machine.
I go back to say the signing of the Declaration
of Independence. I'm in the room.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
There you go yesterday. You're going to get a time machine,
go back six years, which is an idiotic waste of
a time machine. Finally worthwhile. Go on there. So there
you are, back in the independence I'm in.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I think Faniel Hall, is that where it happened to
sign into the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I think so.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Anyway, So I'm there in the room. Two things would
stand out, I think immediately before you even got to
the wonder of you know, there's been Franklin, Thomas Jeffers.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
It smells horrible in here. It smells like a barn
in here. That'd be the first thing that would strike you.
Could God, you people stink and the rest, And then
the first person you talk to and every person you
talk to after, what's going on with your mouth?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Good God, Wow, everybody's brewin teeth.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Everybody'd have like six teeth, dark brown, all kinds of crooked,
decaying their breath would be horrible.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I think that'd be when you got the greatest philosophers
of the Enlightenment in front of you and you're going
after their teeth. Wow, hey Madison, here's a tic taco. Well,
and they would look at you like, holy crap, look
at those teeth. They're glowing. And I would be a giant.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Six foot one towering over everyone.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Except for Georgia Washington right right where were we? Ah? Yes?
There was a smallish study a few years ago patients
with mild to moderate dementia. Periodontitis was associated with a
sixfold increase in cognitive decline. My first question is, wait
a minute, which is the cause and which is the effect.
I can see oral hygiene declining, but you know, if
(09:23):
you're suffering. Another study in twenty seventeen of almost twenty
eight thousand Taiwanese patients reported that having a chronic periodontal
disease for ten years or more correspondent to a one
point seven times increase for the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Every time they do these studies they get similar results.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Wouldn't that be something if we find out a big
problem cause Alzheimer's is or not depression or teeth or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It's all pgin javallis jack. That's my theory.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Anyway, I was going to say that, but I thought
i'd keep it to myself. Well, let's get it try.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
It's a key pathogen pathogen in gum disease, and it
could be found in brain autopsies from Alzheimer's patient.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
So how do I avoid this problem or whatever that
word was? You just say, brush my teeth and floss.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, well that do gums healthy brush and floss, Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
I'm pretty good on my floss in lately, pretty consistent
on my flossing, mostly because you know, at least for me,
having kids has made me a better person because I
gotta get them to do it, so I'm doing it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah. Yeah, well that's good. That's good. I know that
made me a better person too. Just finally, to wrap
this up, toxic enzymes that come from this peege Injavelis bacteria.
We're also found in the Alzheimer's patient's brains and correlated
with the amount of TAW protein pathology, which is a
hall mark of the disease. Brush and floss, folks, save
(10:41):
your brain.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
You gotta buy the name brand flossers. In my opinion, though,
if you're buying the little sticks that I have the
floss in them. Man, the knockoff cheaper ones are just
a worthless Yeah. The you can't get through two teeth
without the little string snapping just very frustrating. It's worth spent.
It's one of those things is worth spending the extra
couple bucks for.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
First, you had your teeth sharpened, like d Snyder of
Twisted Sister, who's an avid collector of Yo Yo's World's
Worst call Back
