"Are we really one step closer to breathing through our butts—and should we be?"That’s the question that kicks off one of the most hilariously bizarre segments in The Ben and Skin Show history. Join hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray as they dive into a real scientific study that’s equal parts groundbreaking and ridiculous.From rectal oxygen delivery to humanoid military robots straight out of The Clone Wars, this episode is a rollercoaster of science, sarcasm, and side-splitting laughter.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's down for science. Guys. We may be step closer
to being able to breathe through our butts. Sorry, say
that again.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
We may be a little closer to being able to
breathe through our butts your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Are we trying to get to that point? I guess
it would work if you were if you were swimming
and you wanted to like keep your head underwater and
look around at things, but also breathe up underwater.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
You're butt up above water and you can breathe.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Man, what will breath mints be?
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Oh, I legit think this is a South Park episode
from back in the day. It might be, but this
is a legit study that has happened. There's a human
clinical trial going on and basically it's trying to they's
shown that it's safe to deliver oxygen rectally.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Okay, you've done that before, right.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Man, I've been unable to make many deliveries there.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
If your passageway was clogged. The ideas that you would
take basically, it's like butt chugging oxygen, but through the
form of a pill.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
What is butt chugging? Kevin?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
We've talked about this off.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Tell us about your high school experience.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Well, remember butt chugging is what kids were doing ten
to fifteen years ago, where they would drink a bunch
of beer rectally because it would hit their it would
hit their bloodstream faster, and that's the idea here.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I drink beer for the taste. So I don't know
how that would help me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We had a clinical trial and it is just testing
how this would work. They had twenty seven healthy male
volunteers in Japan and they were tasked with holding between
twenty five and fifteen hundred milliliters of a non oxygen
version of this liquid and the rectum for sixty minutes. Okay, volunteers,
(02:03):
so there could be side effects, but they signed up
for this.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
So for sixty minutes they pump some liquid in your bath.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
You need to interview these volunteers.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, or this or they have a sixty minute supply,
so they could swim underwater for an hour. We'll breathe
with their rectum.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
This is just the liquid version, because now they're going
the next The next test will be they're gonna put
this uh oxygen into this version of the liquid and
they can shoot it up there and if your passageway
is blocked, you could be able to breathe through your butt.
I know it sounds crazy, but I do think this
(02:38):
is actually kind of going to be a big deal.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
What is the use for this if you have damaged
lungs like uh, maybad or lung cancer or something trouble breathing.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, so you're.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Saying somebody is struggling, they're choking, or they can't breathe,
they can't get oxygen, and instead of CPR in the mouth,
you get in there and blow them up like a
blow up doll. You know, Well, think about how many
people to be Uh is it intubated to put a
tube in there?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, Well now we've got another passageway and there's just
more oxygen can get into your butt stream.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
I'm assuming if you do this, they can't eat Chipotle?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
I mean you can. I mean I think the rules
aren't out on this yet.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah, the rules?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Why just Chipotle? A lot of things you could have.
I feel like this is not exactly great.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
That's fair.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I feel like there's that's a great drop too. You
forget Bush dead in the eye and he said, like,
sometimes there's things that we need, right, there's things that
we need in the world, and you can understand why
someone is working on that.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
This is not one of those things we don't agree.
No one needs, no one needs to breathe through their butt.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Save some lives out there, man. But yeah, more on
this in the coming weeks and months. Okay, that's helpful.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, it'll be one of those I did. KT was right.
I remember what I talked about this six months ago.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I'll just say you this to you if KT, If
you're dying and the only way to save you a
CPR to your butt, you're gonna want to get your
affairs in order.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Yeah, it's been a good run, buddy. We love you.
Thank you for all that you deal with.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The shame of that happening.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Anyways, Bit and skin gave me life through my butt.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Quick minute here, there is a new five nine, one
hundred and seventy five pound humanoid robot that's been created
by a company, and it can carry up to forty
four pounds. And the idea is that this is going
to be installed into our military at some point in
the very near future. Now they're not weaponizing this technology,
but it's gonna be a type of thing that's going
(04:46):
to like swallow bullets, you know, yeah, ten thousand units
of these are being made. So ten thousand of these
five nine, one hundred and seventy five pounds robots that
can carry forty five pounds of stuff on there are
about to be in a graded into our military.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
That's awesome.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
We can recreate all the Star Wars movies that came
after the first three, the Clone Wars bro.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
They think that.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
One of the great quotes from this article I read was,
I think the future of warfare is real life video games.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Pretty much, dude, die, we are a video game. Let's
just accept it and move on. Somebody hit the reset button.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Okay, let's do that in Talk sports all right, coming
up next, let's get back into what Wimby did to
the MAVs last night.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
This is just a couple of minutes away.
