room for everybody. It's time for Chelsea and a man
just cut the room for.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's that cutting room for on the cutting room floor today,
it's all about smells.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Smells. Well, actually, when I went to the logis last night,
you get dressed like at lunchtime, so you have to
I needed some deodorant. Obviously my deodorant had run out,
and the only one I could find was one of
my son's old links. Oh dear, I was chased by
middle aged women all night. Best not I've had in agent.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, at least that took away from the other smells.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Is that supposed to be? That? All the cans?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
That's just your four of your car? Sure are you
going to work at Fox Sports now?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So let's talk about smells. I've got a couple of
stories this morning that are about smells, body chemicals and
the effect they have on us when we're not even
aware of it. This first one, the headline was women's
armpit bo can be relaxing for men, So maybe I
shouldn't have bothered with deodoran last night. All the men
in the room would have been so relaxed.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
That would have been relaxed.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Research apparently has shown that women's they've known this for
a while, that women's body odor changes throughout your menstrual cycle,
but men find it more appealing around ovulation. That's obvious
as to why. You know, while you're appealing when you're ovulating,
therefore more chances of reproduction. But the chemical cocktail responsible
for turning sweat into this subtle signal remains a mystery.
(02:09):
Until now. High tech chemical analysis has allowed researchers at
the University of Tokyo to pinpoint three body odor compounds
that fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle and spike during ovulation.
So those compounds were added to unpit sweat samples taken
from women, and men constantly rated that centers more pleasing
(02:32):
and match the faces as more attractive therefore and more
feminine when they could smell that particular scent. So when
you get a whiff of those compounds, it relaxes the
male participants reduce their levels of stress compared to the
control group. Okay, what about story number two. It's not
about number two.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Don't smell that.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So I saw this the other day. A woman was
talking about a scientific study where there were two groups
who were asked to produce sweat. One group sweated on
a treadmill. They ran on a treadmill and produced sweat.
Another group and which group would you prefer to be
in when skydiving? Both activities produced sweat. So they took
(03:16):
the sweat from both groups exercise sweat, skydiving sweat, and
gave those samples, fed those through you know, not fed,
but you know what I mean, passed them on to
people who went into an fMRI machine. So this is
a third group who went into it. They didn't know
what they were smelling, and it scans their brain. That's
(03:37):
what that machine does. What happened was when they were
given the smells of the sweat from the people who'd
been on the treadmill, their brains didn't change. When they
got a whiff of the set of the sweat from
the skydivers, that sweat was a fierce sweat and it
led to activity in their Magdala did he say it magdella,
(04:01):
the part of the brain that is triggered by fear.
So what this means is that when they smelt fear,
they weren't aware of why it generated their own fear.
So as they say, here, you can smell the chemicals
of fear, and you can catch fear. And the follow
up to this or not this, what this means is
(04:21):
you should always trust your gut. That's what this study
was saying, is that you have an intuition that you're
not even aware of because you're picking up subtle smells,
so as well as facial expressions, body language, all of that.
We're getting these chemicals that are telling us a story
and our bodies are responding to it. So pay attention.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Yeah, well, all those olfactory senses.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Michael Hutchins, for example, when that taxi driver punched him
in the head and he cooked his head on the
pavement from the assault, he lost his sense of smell
and taste.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
So she had meningitis and lost his sense.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I know, he lost his sense of smell and taste,
and that changed his personality because.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
That was you know, he's a creative person as huge
way that.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Interact with the world in ways we're not even aware
of so he lost two senses.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, yeah, And he did say did he miss tasting women?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Which I always thought he actually said that that's not me.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
But you know, poor old Hatch, he like, I'm not
saying that that's why he took his own life, but
I feel that he was. He was pushing the boundaries
because he was trying to look for what he'd missed
out on.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Have they said I thought it was death by accidental misadventure.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
I think that's always, you know, because that's a thing.
Erotic asphyxiation is a thing. People get into that.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yes, and wanting to push boundaries. If only he could
have smelt someone's bio used to be with us today,
If only he would have relaxed, ovulation relaxed.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
If you had the lynx Africa, It.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
All goes back to that.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
It might have might have helped. But instead you've just
got the floor well of your car. Take cands that
said by today, come back to Mama John. See a
man's code room ball.
