Speaker 3 (00:19):
Yeah yeah yeah, it's yeah, yeah yeah, it's John Yeah
yeah yeah on the cutting room floor today.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
You know what's interesting is that people who grew up
in different countries, in different generations, we all to a
certain extent, have believed certain myths. Go through a couple
of them.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
There's great myths, but these ones.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Just I'm not talking about urban myths. No, not about
urban myths. I'm kind of talking about bodily myths, maybe byths.
Seven myths we've believed our whole lives are actually false.
And every single one of these I believed. Okay, number one,
Cracking your knuckles causes us writers, It doesn't, doesn't. All

(01:09):
that popping is harmless. It annoys people, but it doesn't
damage your joints.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
What about people to crack their necks? And do people
still crack their knuckles?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Remember there was always someone in the social group or
someone at school who just cracked their knuckles.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Who do I meet the other day?

Speaker 1 (01:24):
They didn't crack them putting their hands together to crack
individually pop their knuckles. As I was sitting there?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
What are you? Yeah? I don't crack many things. I
might crack a stiffy from time to time, and I think,
what are you? Man? If I crack a stiffy, is
it harmless? Once a thing's out, it's like the gurkhas sword?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
All right, here's another one.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Find a sheet.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay, what if your mother listens to this or your
wife or are they the same?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Be like, what are you doing? What are you doing?
Do you have a wife? I don't exist. There's nothing here.
It is like fight club. You're just talking to yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
I think I'd like to generate a better avatar.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I'm just a bar of soap.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Let's have a look at this one. Cold weather causes colds?
Not true?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think I know that one.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Being cold won't give you a cold. Viruses are the culprit,
not the temperature. And if you go out in the rain,
same thing you're not going to get.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I think a lot of people said it's not good
for you though, because you're you're weak. Your immune systems
come down anyway, so you're fighting all that. So don't
don't be cold as well, because when you shiver, that's
a that's a mechanism to deal with the cold, because
why then, why your body's already saying more or less? Okay,
hey Powell, we're dealing with this cold situation at the moment.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Don't go out in the cold weather.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
But then, why don't Inuits have a cold all year round?

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Well, I've seen a few Inuit they get colds.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
And the people who are in cold climates, why don't
they have colds all year round? Did the Arctic explorers?
Did they constantly blow their nose? It's not months at
a time.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
If you're are you not understanding what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
If your immune system is weakened, it's best not to
stretch it.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
You said, you know what you why you just said
it relms.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
You just said if you're cold, your immune system will
be weakened. You want the other way.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
No, if you've got a cold, your immune system is weaked,
and then when you get cold, your defenses are down.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
You said, is that if you get cold, it will
weaken your immune system, which is a different.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, that's I misspoke. I didn't mean that.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Okay, it's you miss for fuck, he's another one. You
only use ten percent of your brain, Jonesy goes.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
There's more than ten. That's not true. Oh what don't you?

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I used the full merit at first sight one hundred percent?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Do you? Yes, this is not true. Your brain is
more active. Every part of it has a job. So
wake yours up, Brennan, and get it work.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Except the part when you choose to go and married
a first sight as a new bride or groom.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
What about this the myth that you swallow eight spiders
a year in your sleep. Spiders don't crawl into your
mouth at night.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
It's pure fiction, that's true.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
But then how can we all hear the same thing?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, because it's that's the way we are. This is
all these stories.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
We're all before social media, but they're still spread through
generations and different countries, and.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Like fools, we ate it up like spiders.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Shaving makes your hair grow back thicker. I was always
told that my legs well, cutting hair doesn't change its thickness.
It's just the blunt edge that feels stronger. So is
it The whisker feels stronger, but it doesn't change the
thickness of the hair. Yeah, and one more you ready?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah? Please?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
This is the one mothers would have for generations have
told their kids swallowing gum takes Oh, this one says
it takes seven years to digest. I haven't heard that one.
Gum passes through your digestive system. Normally it doesn't get
stuck for years.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Right, Okay, they say is sit in your guts.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's like if you swallow the watermelon, said you'd have
a watermelon grow inside your stomach.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
You don't. What about making your face when the wind changes,
you don't do that either? Well, well again, if I
crack a steepie, Okay, kids, that's it for today, come
back tomorrow. A more Jonesy and Amanda is cutting room
