Hey, welcome back. We hope you enjoy listening to part two of this episode.
(00:06):
All right, next on the Randomizer, Nervous System. So we got the brain, the spinal cord.
We have what's called the somatic nervous system that controls our voluntary movement.
So our brain tells us to move our hand. That's the somatic nervous system. And then we have
the autonomic nervous system, which regulates our involuntary functions. So that's like
(00:31):
your heartbeat and your breathing and things you don't have to think about.
Underneath that, there's the sympathetic nervous system, which activates your fight or flight.
And then there's the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and digest.
Parasympathetic nervous system is my favorite.
Oh yeah, rest and digest. Do that all day long.
All day, baby.
All day, baby.
(00:52):
And you guys ever look involuntary things? Like, do you ever think too much about your breathing
and then like hyperventilate? You know, like, I hate that dude. You're like trying to sleep
and you're just like, I just need to breathe normal. Why am I not breathing normal? And
like you think about way too much and get in your head and you're like, I can't breathe.
I can't breathe. Like just stop.
Yeah, I have sleep apnea and that happens all the time. Because I use a CPAP. That's like,
(01:16):
I think about that all the time.
Do you have that when you're not on the CPAP though, ever? Like you're just like thinking
about your breath.
I'm cognizant if I'm breathing loudly. Like if I'm like, yeah, if I know I'm being vocal
like at work, I'll catch myself sometimes like, I gotta stop breathing.
Wait, no, breathe.
Yeah.
So at work, we're on the fourth floor and I tried to get like a group that were in my
(01:41):
training class. There's like four or five of us that we try to encourage each other
to walk up the steps at least once a day. So we go like it's 82 steps to get to the fourth
floor door. So I try to do that. You know, depending on how many days were there four
or five, even six times a week, I get mine out of the way because I'm there before everybody.
I get there six in the morning. So like, I'll get there. I'll do the stairs so nobody can
(02:03):
see me breathing all heavy when I get to the top of the stairs.
Yeah.
I hate that when I'm like super out of breath and I don't want to see him super out of breath.
So I try not to be super out of breath and I like die.
And then you look like you're catching your breath and just like, yeah, exactly. Just
leave me here.
(02:24):
Just go, just go somewhere else where I go without me. Leave me in my shame.
You know, getting older, my spine is something that, oh man, if I have a bad night's sleep
or something, it's like, I feel it a lot more than I used to. And it's harder for me to
like walk it off, you know, than I used to be, you know. So definitely how great is
(02:46):
where I'm like, oh man, I slept funny or something. And it just becomes the focus of the whole
day almost. You know, it's like hard not to think about it.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Yeah. I have two herniated discs on my spine.
And I can pinpoint the time that I know exactly when it happened, how it happened, everything
like that. But it makes it sometimes to where I guess if I'm not getting the proper rest
(03:11):
or whatever, that I'll just try to vacuum or sweep or something like that. And I just,
man, it's just, it's so unbearable on my back. Like, yes, it gets me into helping people
move and stuff.
But you know, there's that side of it.
But it hurts. That's the other side of it.
Yeah. It makes me hurt just thinking about it.
(03:32):
You know, it's thinking about, you know, how we, we exercise to try to re eat more healthy
or something to help improve different parts of our body. When it comes to our brain, it's
like, I don't know. It's like, there's not, I mean, I know you can try to be active like
in your like learning and stuff like that. But I see so many ads like on my phone or,
(03:52):
you know, online or whatever, you know, like train your brain, you know, keep your brain
healthy. And it's like, is that really going to make much of a difference doing a bunch
of, you know, like word searches or something?
Yeah, exactly.
Siddhoku. Yeah.
Yeah.
Just an ad, you know, it just capitalizes on people that are concerned about that, you
know. Yeah.
I'm sure there is some kind of predatory level on that because, you know, so they do, that's
(04:18):
the ads that, you know, if you have a game that you like to play that has ads in it,
you know, and it'll do things like that. It'll be like, what's your brain with age or, you
know,
Yeah, exactly.
How does the brain?
It's just like a simple little crossword or find a word kind of thing. Like it's got
like the letters, T H A M. Get this word in. It's like a countdown on your age from 100
(04:39):
down to like Canada or whatever.
Yes.
Come on, dude. There's no way there's actual science behind those.
Yeah.
I mean, look, me playing Wordle at five in the morning, that's exercising my brain pretty
hard right there.
Yeah.
And then I'll tell you, like Julie and I, we play Wordle on her slinging app.
(05:00):
Mm hmm.
Like we'll play here at the house.
And you know, that's challenging. So we challenge ourselves with that too. But you know, all
the daily stuff that we do, but.
Yeah.
That's the much exercise that my brain gets. I can probably use some more.
No, we want to keep this fat, dumb and happy.
Oh, okay.
So give your brain a break. Stay down.
Solid.
All right, let me ruin my streak tomorrow in an athlete.
(05:24):
All right. Next up on the randomizer.
Sensory.
All right. So sensory, you know, all the senses. We got our eyes, our ears, our nose, our tongue,
and our skin. So talk to us about these senses you guys. I turned 45 and I can't see for crap
(05:45):
anymore. That's for sure. Yeah. Your vision is getting worse and worse. Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
I should probably go to the doctor. Yeah man. You can be seeing stuff. That'd be nice. Actually,
I need to get glasses. I already know that I need glasses. I just need to do that. Just hold me back.
I was dumb when I was a kid though. I thought glasses were cool. I thought I could pull them off
(06:08):
when I was a kid. So I'd be sitting there sticking flashlights in my eyes thinking that was gonna
make me need glasses. All right. Here we go. This will work. Let's get them.
Let's stare at the sun for a couple minutes. You can't stare at the sun. That's a bad...
Yeah. Speaking of eyes, John and Ben knows but I have an eye trick. I can spin my eyes
(06:34):
really fast. Basically look around in the circles but like really fast and I think it's genetic maybe
because my great grandfather could do it and my nephew can do it and I haven't met anyone else
in the world and I've been around a bit but it's a pretty fun trick. I did it to the eye doctor when
he's like follow the pen and I start following it and then I just spin my eyes around. Doctor's
(06:57):
like freaking out. I did it at the dentist one time. Every time he drilled I would just like
spin my eyes too but then I realized it's probably like slipping like stab me or something.
He hit a faulty wire. Yeah, exactly. He's like oh boy. Here comes the lawsuits. We're gonna keep that
cavity. Leave it there. Yeah. What about other like can you guys do any tricks like curl your
(07:22):
tongue? Can you guys curl your tongue? I can't do it John. I can do the like double curl like a
flower or whatever. Oh wow. You know where it goes. Yeah I'm a carny. What about like your nose? Can
you flare your nostrils? Like just the nostrils? Yeah sometimes. You doing it? Nice. What about
ears? Can you wiggle your ears? I can't wiggle your ears. No I can't do that. No I can't. I thought
(07:46):
you used to be able to. No. So if I had to get rid of one of my senses it would be smell and I'm
starting with my sense of smell but the problem is it's connected to my sense of taste as well so
I mean you don't really need smell that much. In fact often it's offensive smells that really
make me notice that I can even smell. That's true. That's true. Except for when I'm cooking maybe then
(08:12):
I'm like coming in and like oh this smells good you know. Yeah. But most time when I notice smells
it's not a pleasant experience. It's not pleasant yeah. I don't know man. I couldn't smell somebody
grilling like fresh cut grass like oh my gosh those are some of my favorite smells. Yeah.
The gasoline those little markers the little we had growing up. The scent of ones. Yeah. You know. But it's
(08:36):
funny because I was thinking about that Ben and I was thinking about you know cool if I get COVID
and I lose my senses smell I can eat healthy. It's not true. It's not true at all actually.
Does it change? Then you just taste all the gross stuff in your mouth. Yeah it's like
and so like Liz she got COVID she still can't smell. Oh for real? Dang.
(08:58):
Dang. Like at all or like or what? Dang. I wonder if when you lose your sense of smell you
should ask her like do you notice textures even more because I mean sometimes that's what grosses
me out about food is if it's a little too slimy or you know just like I don't know mushy or you know
what I mean. Yeah. Yeah. But texture can really detour from the eating experience too and that
(09:21):
sometimes that's what grosses me out almost as much as the actual taste. So I've only had COVID once
and they gave me Pax Loven and it was disgusting. It was yeah. But I lost my sense of taste
and so I was kind of thinking along the same process as well let me try to eat something I
normally wouldn't eat but yes you notice the texture stuff. It's like you're not tasting it.
(09:43):
That's fine but it's just it's still it's deterring on whether or not you actually want to eat it.
That makes sense and they say right like if a person goes blind or deaf then their other
senses are heightened a little more right and I can imagine that would be the case yeah you lose
your taste but like your tongue is like this is extra squishy or something. Yeah when I had COVID I
(10:04):
had weird taste so like we got Chick-fil-A and I love Chick-fil-A sauce and when I had it though
it tasted like chemicals it was so weird it just really messed up my my taste buds so but they're
good now. I'm good. The first thing that I tried when I first realized I had COVID was a Dr. Pepper
flavored beef jerky. I was like there's no way I don't taste this. I couldn't taste it at all. It
(10:27):
tasted like absolutely nothing. Whoa. If I had to lose one of those senses I'd touch I think would
probably be all right. If I couldn't see I can't drive I can't go nowhere not that I go anywhere
but I mean look if I couldn't hear I know some sign language I can still learn sign language
I wouldn't have to hear people that'd be awesome. Just auto-mute. That's right man it's like
(10:54):
that little let me click the little audio button on this but not being able to taste or smell that'd
be hard man. Yeah. I don't know if I can give those up. Yeah I think I'm actually with Ben I would
drop the smell as long as I can still taste you know as good as my tongue can without the nose
because yeah I definitely love seeing stuff I love hearing music and things and the only thing
(11:16):
about skin and I hear what you're saying John but I feel like if I lose my sense of touch
like I probably could get hurt like cut myself and not realize it maybe is that kind of an idea?
I don't know. Maybe be more daring. That's true I wouldn't be as scared yeah because I just
more of a daredevil. Can you imagine trying to grab something and then like you don't feel it
(11:38):
like you like did I get it or did I not get it? That's true that would be weird.
Yeah there's a gene and again I could be making this up this is just something I thought I would
there's a gene that like you're born without it it like takes away your fear like you'd no fear
whatsoever. Nice. Amongst other things and I was just like that's gotta be kind of neat like you
(12:03):
don't feel pain emotional or physical. I'd be crazy. You can do so much with that man that's crazy.
Yeah dangerous stuff too. Like yeah why wouldn't I do that? I can jump out of a plane. What cares?
Alright let's go back to the randomizer. Skeletal system. Alright we all know of course we got
(12:28):
bones but then there's cartilage and ligaments there's our sternum we have our vertebrae and
what is called the appendicular skeleton so upper and lower extremities including shoulders and hips.
Thoughts on any of these guys? Dave how many bones have you broken in your life?
Okay so I broke my foot my arm and my wrist but honestly for me as far as bones go like a toothache
(12:53):
is by far the worst for me. I hate toothache. Did you break your collarbone too? No I just
located my collarbone. Just located okay. Yeah I don't know. Broke my collarbone like that in the
process. Oh okay. Broke my collarbone but that's the only time I've had a broken bone that I know of.
When was it Ben? I kind of said. When I was born. When I was born. Yeah I was a big baby and apparently
(13:19):
the doctor was like needing my mom to try to get me out. Like broke my collarbone on the way out.
Holy cow. Get over here. What did they do for a baby with a broken collar bone? Do you know
what they did for you? Like a little sling on me I think. A little sling kind of keep your arm
(13:42):
like from moving around. A little baby sling. Yeah I don't have any memory of it of course. Come on Ben
you don't remember? They kept him swaddled like a burrito. That's what happened but I don't know.
That's what I mean like yeah what did people tell you? What did mom tell you? That's funny.
So you broke one Dave you broke in what three? Yeah three. Well I broke this finger too so
(14:05):
on my mission I never casted it or anything. You see how it's crooked it's got like the bump.
Yeah so I broke that's a fourth one I guess. Count it. Yeah for sure. It's a bad finger to try to
show people because it's my middle finger so I always have to like keep my other fingers up but
like away. Look at my broken finger. You like that? How do you like that broken? Yeah so.
(14:28):
But yeah Johnny talked earlier about your herniated discs and when I hear vertebrae I feel like
that's the only time we talk about it is when something's wrong and it makes me hurt man.
I hate thinking about bulge discs, slip discs, herniated discs like oh this makes me hurt.
So I'm sorry you got that going on man. Have they talked about what you could do for it at all?
(14:49):
I think there's like a decompression thing or a surgery kind of thing or something.
Get a point in there crap son. I don't know. Bro this was like 2014 somewhere in there 2015.
Ten years. Yeah. Yeah still remember how it happened. Wasn't it like real bad when it first
happened then too? It was the next day that I really noticed I was like this is not right.
(15:10):
I was working at the restaurant and I was also at my call center job. The supervisors and managers
were coming into the restaurant. I got them hooked up with a deal or whatever so they can come into
the restaurant. But we had these big six tops. These tables, oblong tables and you're supposed
to have two people pick them up but I kind of it was on the ground and I flipped it up by myself
(15:31):
trying to be strong and yeah that's what happened. Dang. There's days with that when
I just want to go fetal position and just not do a thing but oh man. Makes me hurt. Sometimes
you don't have the choice. Yep that's X. You guys are broken bones. I'm broken but I've never
broken anything. Yeah. I feel like my body's broken but like yeah I've never broken a single bone.
(15:55):
I'm vulnerable. Well as older I just feel like all these are knees and are shoulders or whatever
you know like we just start getting these aches and pains and I don't know how much of it is
actually the bones or the muscles or what but man you just start feeling older when you start
having your skeleton just hurt to move. Yeah. Brian Regan you know I've talked about him a few
(16:18):
times. He's one of my favorite comedians. He's so funny and one of his beds he's talked about how
he's like I have this one part like just above my knee to the right and that's where it doesn't
hurt. He's like can you make the rest of my body feel like that? Is that possible? Pretty funny.
(16:44):
Anyways back to the randomizer. Cardiovascular. So that's our heart arteries veins and capillaries.
I am pretty sure the heart that's the guy that's going to kill me one day you know I can like
feel it already. I'm like oh I gotta take better care of this guy but I like cheeseburgers too much.
(17:08):
We'll see how that thing goes. You guys? It's kind of neat because I've worked in a medical call
center nine years and my whole job was looking at people's heart EKGs and stuff like that. Oh yeah.
I've learned a lot about rhythms and arrhythmias and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. But like I was
more on the I'd spoke directly with the patient side instead of the interpretation side because
(17:32):
that part just didn't interest me but you come across a lot of interesting people man and it's
crazy because it's a job where these people have just been told by their doctor like look dude you
could have a possible heart condition you need to wear this monitor for 30 days and when people
grasp the concept of how important their heart is but for them at that point how much more serious
(17:53):
it got. Yeah. That is crazy. Oh I can imagine. Yeah. How does it go for you guys when you have to
give blood or you know that kind of thing are they able to find your veins pretty quick and easy do
you have problems with that? I was told by a nurse I got them good ones. That's what she got. She's
(18:13):
like that's not my mama in Louisiana say you got them good ones. Nice. Yeah I got them good veins.
There you go. Yeah it's pretty easy to pull blood. What about you Ben? I'm kind of the same. I feel
like I lucked out a lot. My wife is the opposite you know. So like for me it's usually pretty easy.
(18:34):
It's gotten a little bit harder as I've gotten older I think once in a while they have a little
trouble but for the most part it's like oh beautiful veins but because of my headaches I had to get
like IVs and blood drawn so many times that I remember this one time you know they just have
to find new spots after a while you know they're like I'm gonna do another spot we're gonna do another
(18:55):
spot and they really started having hard time trying to do it through my finger once because
they just had gone through like everywhere else in my pot. Oh man. But overall now they got those
little flashlights so where they can like roll over your arm and they can see your veins. Oh really?
So they know exactly where to plug it in yeah. Nice. Yeah and my wife I mean she has a hard time
(19:19):
even with those things especially if she's dehydrated or something like that like the veins
go even a lot of her and stuff and and will often have two or three nurses try and have to like
find somebody else that ended up finding and doing it because they're just poking around and oh
man it's so painful to me just watching her you know. And then you got the huge bruise afterwards
(19:43):
or whatever it's all purple all around the spot and stuff yeah yeah. You look like you've been
abusing the drugs or something like that because you got all these bruises like all on your arms
because I got to try like 10 times. Yeah I hate it when it's like a new person you're like oh can we
get the veteran over here please. Yeah even the 55 year old that's about to retire I don't need this
(20:04):
kid straight out of school. Yeah yeah I remember in high school. No pants still. No pants.
In college I donated plasma so much that I have scars in my veins now from doing that.
Yeah speaking of looking like abusing drugs that's that's what I got going on. Get that money son.
(20:25):
Get that plasma money. Yep. All right back to the randomizer.
Respiratory system. Let's see what we got here. We have the nose the mouth the throat the trachea
the lungs and the sinuses. Any thoughts comments on any of these guys? I'm just so grateful for
(20:46):
when it's working because when you speak and you can't get a good breath of air you know and you're
just taking deep breaths or you're just got congestion or whatever and I mean I guess that's
it's working and quite enough whatever needs to fight off but man it really makes you appreciate
breathing when you can't breathe so well. Yeah no that's totally true you take it for granted and
(21:10):
tell you're sick and you're like I wish I could breathe through my nose. Yep I feel like my sinuses
are never fully clear you know there's always some stuff up in there I hate it I wish it was clear
sometimes. Yeah people that have allergies man like this is not the place for you and you might know
that Dave. Yeah there's a lot going on here in Texas like the dander and everything like that man
(21:34):
it's bad here. My buddy's that way like it's always and my brother-in-law every time we're
going to eat he always has to clear himself out you know he goes to the restroom and clears him
you know clears out the kind of the drainage and it's like I feel bad man like that's just how it is here.
Yeah it's bad like Dave I know you have sleep apnea right? Yeah. So I have severe sleep apnea I
(21:58):
stopped breathing 105 times in apnea. Yeah. But is there anything worse and I know I think you
told me at one point you didn't really care for the machine. Yeah. But have you ever like gone
in like right before you go to bed like you sneeze a bunch of times or your nose is then all clogged
up and then you got to work just like it doesn't work. Yeah. There have been nights where I've had
(22:18):
to stay up because I could not breathe through because when for those that don't know when you
have a sleep apnea mask your mouth is closed. Everybody's fine with it for the mask that I have.
Yeah. So your mouth is closed the whole time and you're trying to just breathe through your nose
but if I start sneezing before I go to bed it's impossible to get to sleep man. It's so hard.
Oh no I can't. Yeah. Yeah I'm the mouth breather when I sleep man I have to.
(22:42):
Just agreeing with you John I hate it using the CPAP machine when I have it cold or something like
that. It's just it's hard it's impossible. Yeah. One day I'll be cool enough to get the aspire.
Yeah join us in the cyborgs. Yeah. So I really like a clean nose you know besides sinuses just
my nose itself and I have to admit it like I got these built-in tools that I can help keep my nose
(23:08):
clean and sometimes I use them and I try to do it you know in private and stuff like that but
I don't know about you guys but I gotta get that stuff out of there man. I mean look there's two
types of people Dave people that pick their nose and people are just liars that say they don't
because everybody does. Everybody does. And so it's funny because like look if I've had to if I had
(23:29):
everyone bothering me or something like that I do it while I was driving but like there'd be nobody
around to make sure there's nobody around me. Yeah. Because there's a time filled episode about
that you know I'm like but when I was thinking about it I'm like I'm sitting here looking at other
cars I'm like there's no way from that far they can see me it doesn't really matter. Yeah. I can't
see anything they're doing so they can't see anything I'm doing. It's fine. Yeah it's fine.
(23:54):
Yeah I've had those thoughts for sure. Like I'm like I like a very clean nose as well to where like
I don't even like hair in my nose like I'd trim my nose hairs like all the time. Oh do you? Yeah.
I think you're not supposed to though I think you're supposed to leave some in there for
filters or whatever. Yeah I wish I didn't have any hair in my nose dude that is like the one like
if I could pick one place in my body to just no longer have hair in it it would be my nose because
(24:18):
and it's just I don't know it just bugs me man sometimes it gets itchy or whatever and you know
I don't know. Yeah yeah I try to trim it pretty regularly. I got the best trimmer.
Nice. All right also in the respiratory the lungs I kind of hate them because they always remind me
that I'm fat like all the time. Like when I'm trying to like clip my toenails or tie my shoes my
(24:43):
lungs are like you forgot your fat and I'm like breathing heavy just doing this simple task.
I'm like thanks lungs. It's funny because I can't breathe when I clip my toenails because my tummy's
in the way. Yeah that's true. My tummy's pushing on the lungs. My tummy's pushing on the lungs and
trying to get my trying to get my foot up there at the same time. It's not a pretty sight ladies.
Those around the world that were interested in me you know I'm sorry.
(25:10):
Yep we're vulnerable and fat done and happy it's all good.
The ladies are attracted to that too John so it's good. All right let's go one last time on the
randomizer. The integumentary system so that has our skin hair nails sweat glands oil glands
(25:30):
and the hypodermis or fat tissue. You know we just talked about nose hairs but yeah you guys
remember when we had hair on our head? That was pretty awesome. I saw a picture of it once. Yeah
and do you remember when we had hairless ears and backs? That was pretty awesome too. Oh my gosh yes
you know my hair is stupid like earlier I mentioned autoimmune disease it's all based around hair
(25:53):
so like I'm prone to therophilicals they can turn into like a cyst or something like that
so I get them and it just sucks dude it's a terrible terrible terrible thing to get.
I'm sorry dude that's terrible. Yeah man it sucks. It was one of these but I was dealt with it's fine.
When did you find out about it? I think I was actually told what it was I had no clue what it was
(26:15):
but like it plays into my glands and stuff like that because it gives me like bumps under my
arms and stuff like that. Yeah that's kind of what keeps me for right now from going to the gym
because of the friction. Oh yeah maybe it's just all irritated. Yeah it's all irritated so
but it was like 2000 and it might have been like 2020-2021 when I found out what it actually was.
(26:35):
Oh okay. So shout out to my peeps with Hydra Denitis Super Ativa. Y'all knew it so. Oh no so
yes. My fingernails grow like crazy though man. Yeah. It drives my sister nuts because like I don't
cut my nails very often I really don't and like because I like to have nails nothing I'm not going
to look like girlish but she tells me they're too long all the time. I'm like but they're good for
(27:00):
scratching and stuff like yeah like my little bit of a nail yeah. To not have a nail like I don't
know how people like I've seen dudes that have their nails all the way down I don't know what you
guys do. I can't do that. That's annoying to me. It always feels super weird when I freshly cut them.
I do get them down pretty low but yeah. I hate when I accidentally cut it too low and oh well this
(27:22):
is like oh that's tender now. Yeah dude that's the worst. Like the problem for me is that because I
don't cut them enough like I'll hit my hand I'll raise my hand on something and the whole nail
chips like you know it chips down to like the the low part that makes it tender like Ben just said.
Yeah. Yeah that part sucks. Yep. So yeah I didn't know the hypodermis is what they call the fat
(27:45):
tissue. I didn't know that either. Yeah I didn't realize my doctor said I was so fat it's more
like hypodermis. That jokes. Hey Bart your epidermis is showing. It is.
(28:07):
See epidermis means your hair. So technically it's true. That's what makes it so funny.
Pardon me a moment. Hey Nelson he's really hurt. I think he broke his leg. I said ha ha.
(28:28):
You guys got oil glands would you rate them normal or above or below normal?
Like your forehead, hands stuff like that. Where are you at in the oil scale? John.
I got an argument with somebody once in high school at Columbia because my hair was so like oily.
Yeah. They're like in a state in state in perfect form. Yeah. Like John Stamos like.
(28:51):
And they're like you use hairspray or gel or something. I was like no man nothing. No hair
products. I guess my head was just naturally oily like that but my hair stayed perfectly.
Yeah. I had nice feathery hair. Back in the day man. Back in the day I had a good head of hair.
What do you think Ben? Do you have hard working oil glands? I'm guessing it's kind of normal just
(29:14):
because I don't think about it that much. Yeah. It was more of a problem than I would notice it
and be bugged by it. I don't get super dry skin like some people do and as far as I know I mean
unless I'm just oblivious to it I don't think I'm super oily or anything either. Yeah. The only
thing I see is that if my forehead touches any kind of glass it's like immediately there's a spot
(29:39):
of oil and I'm like is that normal? Is that too much? I don't know but it's probably in the normal
range. That definitely happens. Yeah. All right. Well there are other parts we didn't talk about
you know the endocrine system, the reproductive system, the lymphatic system, the urinary system.
Maybe we can do a part two someday but I was fun just highlighting some of the parts of the body
(30:00):
that are just weird, hard, fun, all the above. So let's turn the time over to Ben with some
psychological physiological interactions and thoughts. So it's interesting how connected
our mind and our body are. I mean obviously our mind comes from our brain which is my body.
It makes sense but I mean there's a lot of interaction going on too and it's interesting
(30:22):
because the body can have a lot of influence on how we're feeling emotionally and our cognitive
functionings. This is something I didn't know but tumors can cause hallucinations even. Wow. Anxiety
and personality changes depending on where the tumor is. Thyroidism can cause depression, anxiety,
(30:43):
sleeplessness, irritability, even Lyme disease. I heard that Justin Bieber got Lyme disease and it
caused some pretty severe depression and anxiety and I know that vitamin D deficiency can really
impact depression and of course everybody's experience being hangry. I think that's been
added to some of the current dictionaries now. Yeah. We're kind of more irritable when we're
(31:07):
hungry you know. So definitely when the body's not working right it can impact us emotionally
on our mood and everything like that. On the flip side our mind has a powerful effect on our body
as well. There's people that will go under hypnosis during surgeries so that they don't need to
take as much anesthesia and so they'll just not even really be put under and so just because they
(31:32):
can go under hypnosis. Wow. And depression has been linked to so many chronic illnesses, diabetes,
asthma, cardiovascular disease, arthritis. Schizophrenia has been linked to a higher risk
of heart and respiratory diseases and you know people with mental health conditions are more
likely to suffer from sleep disorders like insomnia or sleep apnea. It makes sense if you have
(31:57):
high anxiety it's going to be hard to sleep. Yeah. With depression I mean that's one of the
actually diagnostic symptoms they actually have for a major depressive disorder is there's been a
significant shift in your sleep whether you're sleeping a whole lot more than normal or a whole
lot less either way and so and even things like laughter is something that they found can really
(32:20):
improve our health just having positive thoughts, having things that we look forward to stuff like
that. The other thing is that especially some people can put a lot of weight on their body image
especially when we're younger and then as we get older I mean nobody's body holds up over time right
(32:40):
and put too much weight on how we look or how our body you know we feel fit or whatever things like
that it can have a downside to that I guess down the road. So I mean it's important and good actually
to take good care of our bodies and to prioritize that and to some extent and so finding that balance
it can be hard you know it's like you want to take good care of yourself and you want to feel good
(33:05):
that you know that your body is doing well but then on the flip side of it when bad things come you
don't want to have to spiral into this depression because we can no longer do the things we used
to be able to do and so if our whole lives revolve around being healthy that way it's a challenge.
So one thing I recommend is in general is to recognize and appreciate the parts of our body
(33:28):
that are working. Life is happier when we have gratitude and when we can appreciate what is
that joke you were saying that one part just above the knee that does feel good. Yeah. If you have
things that are working be grateful for those and it can kind of spread when we feel good emotionally
(33:49):
then that takes some of the burden off of the parts that aren't working so well. It actually helps
in healing when we can emotionally be in a better place. That's awesome. I really appreciate all the
information but also that recommendation on the end of just being grateful for what is working well
and how that can actually help our mental health and our physical health just having that gratitude
(34:12):
and recognition. So thanks Ben. I appreciate that. Yeah. So look and here's my advice. First of all
hey I just like self-diagnosed myself with like 15 different things but I don't know if I'm Ben's
listening. Just kind of to the people you know the young kids wanting some things that are you know
you're getting married or out of college if you love money and you want to keep it when you grow up
(34:35):
you need to stay healthy now. Growing up and getting old and having to go to the hospital and
the doctor's often it gets expensive man. It gets really expensive. Take care of your teeth,
get your feet, you know take care of everything man. Do that now because it's so much harder later
to do. That's true. That's just me. No that's a good point. Thanks John. All right guys so look
(34:58):
everybody this was a super weird episode. I'm glad that we had it. Thank you all for listening
all across the world. We love you. We appreciate you. A special thanks to Dave to Benjamin bringing
the juice with the psycho analysis. Probably one of my favorite parts of the show. Yeah I love it.
And guys this was supposed to be like when Dave brought this to me he's like hey let's you and
I do this and he's like hey Ben's gonna join us. He's like all right Ben the best part of this show
(35:21):
man. It's awesome man. Yeah. So thanks to you. Thanks to a special thanks to Phil who's busy at
medical school. I'm studying medicine and doctoring and bedside manner so we wish him well and we
thank him for his efforts tonight and for his participation. Thank you Phil. Guys don't forget
it's super important to us. Great subscribe. Give those five stars. That's what we're worth you know
(35:45):
you know how you do. But now we appreciate y'all. You want to be on the show let us know. All right.
Oh by the way by the time you're listening to this Dave will have celebrated his 45th birthday so
happy birthday. Oh thanks. Yeah. Now you're gonna get older and it's just gonna get downhill from here.
Health wise. Health wise. That's right. Yeah it's like your body's like I don't celebrate
(36:09):
birthdays around the show anymore so like my body was like yo you're 45 that's a big one.
We're gonna do it. He's like he's like starts punching me from the inside. But all right guys
wait subscribe let us know if you want to be on the show give us a topic we will do it. We will
talk about everything and anything here as you can tell from this episode. All right everybody
stay fat dumb and happy. Peace. See you guys.
Hey, welcome back. We hope you enjoy listening to part two of this episode.
(00:06):
All right, next on the Randomizer, Nervous System. So we got the brain, the spinal cord.
We have what's called the somatic nervous system that controls our voluntary movement.
So our brain tells us to move our hand. That's the somatic nervous system. And then we have
the autonomic nervous system, which regulates our involuntary functions. So that's like
(00:31):
your heartbeat and your breathing and things you don't have to think about.
Underneath that, there's the sympathetic nervous system, which activates your fight or flight.
And then there's the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for rest and digest.
Parasympathetic nervous system is my favorite.
Oh yeah, rest and digest. Do that all day long.
All day, baby.
All day, baby.
(00:52):
And you guys ever look involuntary things? Like, do you ever think too much about your breathing
and then like hyperventilate? You know, like, I hate that dude. You're like trying to sleep
and you're just like, I just need to breathe normal. Why am I not breathing normal? And
like you think about way too much and get in your head and you're like, I can't breathe.
I can't breathe. Like just stop.
Yeah, I have sleep apnea and that happens all the time. Because I use a CPAP. That's like,
(01:16):
I think about that all the time.
Do you have that when you're not on the CPAP though, ever? Like you're just like thinking
about your breath.
I'm cognizant if I'm breathing loudly. Like if I'm like, yeah, if I know I'm being vocal
like at work, I'll catch myself sometimes like, I gotta stop breathing.
Wait, no, breathe.
Yeah.
So at work, we're on the fourth floor and I tried to get like a group that were in my
(01:41):
training class. There's like four or five of us that we try to encourage each other
to walk up the steps at least once a day. So we go like it's 82 steps to get to the fourth
floor door. So I try to do that. You know, depending on how many days were there four
or five, even six times a week, I get mine out of the way because I'm there before everybody.
I get there six in the morning. So like, I'll get there. I'll do the stairs so nobody can
(02:03):
see me breathing all heavy when I get to the top of the stairs.
Yeah.
I hate that when I'm like super out of breath and I don't want to see him super out of breath.
So I try not to be super out of breath and I like die.
And then you look like you're catching your breath and just like, yeah, exactly. Just
leave me here.
(02:24):
Just go, just go somewhere else where I go without me. Leave me in my shame.
You know, getting older, my spine is something that, oh man, if I have a bad night's sleep
or something, it's like, I feel it a lot more than I used to. And it's harder for me to
like walk it off, you know, than I used to be, you know. So definitely how great is
(02:46):
where I'm like, oh man, I slept funny or something. And it just becomes the focus of the whole
day almost. You know, it's like hard not to think about it.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Yeah. I have two herniated discs on my spine.
And I can pinpoint the time that I know exactly when it happened, how it happened, everything
like that. But it makes it sometimes to where I guess if I'm not getting the proper rest
(03:11):
or whatever, that I'll just try to vacuum or sweep or something like that. And I just,
man, it's just, it's so unbearable on my back. Like, yes, it gets me into helping people
move and stuff.
But you know, there's that side of it.
But it hurts. That's the other side of it.
Yeah. It makes me hurt just thinking about it.
(03:32):
You know, it's thinking about, you know, how we, we exercise to try to re eat more healthy
or something to help improve different parts of our body. When it comes to our brain, it's
like, I don't know. It's like, there's not, I mean, I know you can try to be active like
in your like learning and stuff like that. But I see so many ads like on my phone or,
(03:52):
you know, online or whatever, you know, like train your brain, you know, keep your brain
healthy. And it's like, is that really going to make much of a difference doing a bunch
of, you know, like word searches or something?
Yeah, exactly.
Siddhoku. Yeah.
Yeah.
Just an ad, you know, it just capitalizes on people that are concerned about that, you
know. Yeah.
I'm sure there is some kind of predatory level on that because, you know, so they do, that's
(04:18):
the ads that, you know, if you have a game that you like to play that has ads in it,
you know, and it'll do things like that. It'll be like, what's your brain with age or, you
know,
Yeah, exactly.
How does the brain?
It's just like a simple little crossword or find a word kind of thing. Like it's got
like the letters, T H A M. Get this word in. It's like a countdown on your age from 100
(04:39):
down to like Canada or whatever.
Yes.
Come on, dude. There's no way there's actual science behind those.
Yeah.
I mean, look, me playing Wordle at five in the morning, that's exercising my brain pretty
hard right there.
Yeah.
And then I'll tell you, like Julie and I, we play Wordle on her slinging app.
(05:00):
Mm hmm.
Like we'll play here at the house.
And you know, that's challenging. So we challenge ourselves with that too. But you know, all
the daily stuff that we do, but.
Yeah.
That's the much exercise that my brain gets. I can probably use some more.
No, we want to keep this fat, dumb and happy.
Oh, okay.
So give your brain a break. Stay down.
Solid.
All right, let me ruin my streak tomorrow in an athlete.
(05:24):
All right. Next up on the randomizer.
Sensory.
All right. So sensory, you know, all the senses. We got our eyes, our ears, our nose, our tongue,
and our skin. So talk to us about these senses you guys. I turned 45 and I can't see for crap
(05:45):
anymore. That's for sure. Yeah. Your vision is getting worse and worse. Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
I should probably go to the doctor. Yeah man. You can be seeing stuff. That'd be nice. Actually,
I need to get glasses. I already know that I need glasses. I just need to do that. Just hold me back.
I was dumb when I was a kid though. I thought glasses were cool. I thought I could pull them off
(06:08):
when I was a kid. So I'd be sitting there sticking flashlights in my eyes thinking that was gonna
make me need glasses. All right. Here we go. This will work. Let's get them.
Let's stare at the sun for a couple minutes. You can't stare at the sun. That's a bad...
Yeah. Speaking of eyes, John and Ben knows but I have an eye trick. I can spin my eyes
(06:34):
really fast. Basically look around in the circles but like really fast and I think it's genetic maybe
because my great grandfather could do it and my nephew can do it and I haven't met anyone else
in the world and I've been around a bit but it's a pretty fun trick. I did it to the eye doctor when
he's like follow the pen and I start following it and then I just spin my eyes around. Doctor's
(06:57):
like freaking out. I did it at the dentist one time. Every time he drilled I would just like
spin my eyes too but then I realized it's probably like slipping like stab me or something.
He hit a faulty wire. Yeah, exactly. He's like oh boy. Here comes the lawsuits. We're gonna keep that
cavity. Leave it there. Yeah. What about other like can you guys do any tricks like curl your
(07:22):
tongue? Can you guys curl your tongue? I can't do it John. I can do the like double curl like a
flower or whatever. Oh wow. You know where it goes. Yeah I'm a carny. What about like your nose? Can
you flare your nostrils? Like just the nostrils? Yeah sometimes. You doing it? Nice. What about
ears? Can you wiggle your ears? I can't wiggle your ears. No I can't do that. No I can't. I thought
(07:46):
you used to be able to. No. So if I had to get rid of one of my senses it would be smell and I'm
starting with my sense of smell but the problem is it's connected to my sense of taste as well so
I mean you don't really need smell that much. In fact often it's offensive smells that really
make me notice that I can even smell. That's true. That's true. Except for when I'm cooking maybe then
(08:12):
I'm like coming in and like oh this smells good you know. Yeah. But most time when I notice smells
it's not a pleasant experience. It's not pleasant yeah. I don't know man. I couldn't smell somebody
grilling like fresh cut grass like oh my gosh those are some of my favorite smells. Yeah.
The gasoline those little markers the little we had growing up. The scent of ones. Yeah. You know. But it's
(08:36):
funny because I was thinking about that Ben and I was thinking about you know cool if I get COVID
and I lose my senses smell I can eat healthy. It's not true. It's not true at all actually.
Does it change? Then you just taste all the gross stuff in your mouth. Yeah it's like
and so like Liz she got COVID she still can't smell. Oh for real? Dang.
(08:58):
Dang. Like at all or like or what? Dang. I wonder if when you lose your sense of smell you
should ask her like do you notice textures even more because I mean sometimes that's what grosses
me out about food is if it's a little too slimy or you know just like I don't know mushy or you know
what I mean. Yeah. Yeah. But texture can really detour from the eating experience too and that
(09:21):
sometimes that's what grosses me out almost as much as the actual taste. So I've only had COVID once
and they gave me Pax Loven and it was disgusting. It was yeah. But I lost my sense of taste
and so I was kind of thinking along the same process as well let me try to eat something I
normally wouldn't eat but yes you notice the texture stuff. It's like you're not tasting it.
(09:43):
That's fine but it's just it's still it's deterring on whether or not you actually want to eat it.
That makes sense and they say right like if a person goes blind or deaf then their other
senses are heightened a little more right and I can imagine that would be the case yeah you lose
your taste but like your tongue is like this is extra squishy or something. Yeah when I had COVID I
(10:04):
had weird taste so like we got Chick-fil-A and I love Chick-fil-A sauce and when I had it though
it tasted like chemicals it was so weird it just really messed up my my taste buds so but they're
good now. I'm good. The first thing that I tried when I first realized I had COVID was a Dr. Pepper
flavored beef jerky. I was like there's no way I don't taste this. I couldn't taste it at all. It
(10:27):
tasted like absolutely nothing. Whoa. If I had to lose one of those senses I'd touch I think would
probably be all right. If I couldn't see I can't drive I can't go nowhere not that I go anywhere
but I mean look if I couldn't hear I know some sign language I can still learn sign language
I wouldn't have to hear people that'd be awesome. Just auto-mute. That's right man it's like
(10:54):
that little let me click the little audio button on this but not being able to taste or smell that'd
be hard man. Yeah. I don't know if I can give those up. Yeah I think I'm actually with Ben I would
drop the smell as long as I can still taste you know as good as my tongue can without the nose
because yeah I definitely love seeing stuff I love hearing music and things and the only thing
(11:16):
about skin and I hear what you're saying John but I feel like if I lose my sense of touch
like I probably could get hurt like cut myself and not realize it maybe is that kind of an idea?
I don't know. Maybe be more daring. That's true I wouldn't be as scared yeah because I just
more of a daredevil. Can you imagine trying to grab something and then like you don't feel it
(11:38):
like you like did I get it or did I not get it? That's true that would be weird.
Yeah there's a gene and again I could be making this up this is just something I thought I would
there's a gene that like you're born without it it like takes away your fear like you'd no fear
whatsoever. Nice. Amongst other things and I was just like that's gotta be kind of neat like you
(12:03):
don't feel pain emotional or physical. I'd be crazy. You can do so much with that man that's crazy.
Yeah dangerous stuff too. Like yeah why wouldn't I do that? I can jump out of a plane. What cares?
Alright let's go back to the randomizer. Skeletal system. Alright we all know of course we got
(12:28):
bones but then there's cartilage and ligaments there's our sternum we have our vertebrae and
what is called the appendicular skeleton so upper and lower extremities including shoulders and hips.
Thoughts on any of these guys? Dave how many bones have you broken in your life?
Okay so I broke my foot my arm and my wrist but honestly for me as far as bones go like a toothache
(12:53):
is by far the worst for me. I hate toothache. Did you break your collarbone too? No I just
located my collarbone. Just located okay. Yeah I don't know. Broke my collarbone like that in the
process. Oh okay. Broke my collarbone but that's the only time I've had a broken bone that I know of.
When was it Ben? I kind of said. When I was born. When I was born. Yeah I was a big baby and apparently
(13:19):
the doctor was like needing my mom to try to get me out. Like broke my collarbone on the way out.
Holy cow. Get over here. What did they do for a baby with a broken collar bone? Do you know
what they did for you? Like a little sling on me I think. A little sling kind of keep your arm
(13:42):
like from moving around. A little baby sling. Yeah I don't have any memory of it of course. Come on Ben
you don't remember? They kept him swaddled like a burrito. That's what happened but I don't know.
That's what I mean like yeah what did people tell you? What did mom tell you? That's funny.
So you broke one Dave you broke in what three? Yeah three. Well I broke this finger too so
(14:05):
on my mission I never casted it or anything. You see how it's crooked it's got like the bump.
Yeah so I broke that's a fourth one I guess. Count it. Yeah for sure. It's a bad finger to try to
show people because it's my middle finger so I always have to like keep my other fingers up but
like away. Look at my broken finger. You like that? How do you like that broken? Yeah so.
(14:28):
But yeah Johnny talked earlier about your herniated discs and when I hear vertebrae I feel like
that's the only time we talk about it is when something's wrong and it makes me hurt man.
I hate thinking about bulge discs, slip discs, herniated discs like oh this makes me hurt.
So I'm sorry you got that going on man. Have they talked about what you could do for it at all?
(14:49):
I think there's like a decompression thing or a surgery kind of thing or something.
Get a point in there crap son. I don't know. Bro this was like 2014 somewhere in there 2015.
Ten years. Yeah. Yeah still remember how it happened. Wasn't it like real bad when it first
happened then too? It was the next day that I really noticed I was like this is not right.
(15:10):
I was working at the restaurant and I was also at my call center job. The supervisors and managers
were coming into the restaurant. I got them hooked up with a deal or whatever so they can come into
the restaurant. But we had these big six tops. These tables, oblong tables and you're supposed
to have two people pick them up but I kind of it was on the ground and I flipped it up by myself
(15:31):
trying to be strong and yeah that's what happened. Dang. There's days with that when
I just want to go fetal position and just not do a thing but oh man. Makes me hurt. Sometimes
you don't have the choice. Yep that's X. You guys are broken bones. I'm broken but I've never
broken anything. Yeah. I feel like my body's broken but like yeah I've never broken a single bone.
(15:55):
I'm vulnerable. Well as older I just feel like all these are knees and are shoulders or whatever
you know like we just start getting these aches and pains and I don't know how much of it is
actually the bones or the muscles or what but man you just start feeling older when you start
having your skeleton just hurt to move. Yeah. Brian Regan you know I've talked about him a few
(16:18):
times. He's one of my favorite comedians. He's so funny and one of his beds he's talked about how
he's like I have this one part like just above my knee to the right and that's where it doesn't
hurt. He's like can you make the rest of my body feel like that? Is that possible? Pretty funny.
(16:44):
Anyways back to the randomizer. Cardiovascular. So that's our heart arteries veins and capillaries.
I am pretty sure the heart that's the guy that's going to kill me one day you know I can like
feel it already. I'm like oh I gotta take better care of this guy but I like cheeseburgers too much.
(17:08):
We'll see how that thing goes. You guys? It's kind of neat because I've worked in a medical call
center nine years and my whole job was looking at people's heart EKGs and stuff like that. Oh yeah.
I've learned a lot about rhythms and arrhythmias and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. But like I was
more on the I'd spoke directly with the patient side instead of the interpretation side because
(17:32):
that part just didn't interest me but you come across a lot of interesting people man and it's
crazy because it's a job where these people have just been told by their doctor like look dude you
could have a possible heart condition you need to wear this monitor for 30 days and when people
grasp the concept of how important their heart is but for them at that point how much more serious
(17:53):
it got. Yeah. That is crazy. Oh I can imagine. Yeah. How does it go for you guys when you have to
give blood or you know that kind of thing are they able to find your veins pretty quick and easy do
you have problems with that? I was told by a nurse I got them good ones. That's what she got. She's
(18:13):
like that's not my mama in Louisiana say you got them good ones. Nice. Yeah I got them good veins.
There you go. Yeah it's pretty easy to pull blood. What about you Ben? I'm kind of the same. I feel
like I lucked out a lot. My wife is the opposite you know. So like for me it's usually pretty easy.
(18:34):
It's gotten a little bit harder as I've gotten older I think once in a while they have a little
trouble but for the most part it's like oh beautiful veins but because of my headaches I had to get
like IVs and blood drawn so many times that I remember this one time you know they just have
to find new spots after a while you know they're like I'm gonna do another spot we're gonna do another
(18:55):
spot and they really started having hard time trying to do it through my finger once because
they just had gone through like everywhere else in my pot. Oh man. But overall now they got those
little flashlights so where they can like roll over your arm and they can see your veins. Oh really?
So they know exactly where to plug it in yeah. Nice. Yeah and my wife I mean she has a hard time
(19:19):
even with those things especially if she's dehydrated or something like that like the veins
go even a lot of her and stuff and and will often have two or three nurses try and have to like
find somebody else that ended up finding and doing it because they're just poking around and oh
man it's so painful to me just watching her you know. And then you got the huge bruise afterwards
(19:43):
or whatever it's all purple all around the spot and stuff yeah yeah. You look like you've been
abusing the drugs or something like that because you got all these bruises like all on your arms
because I got to try like 10 times. Yeah I hate it when it's like a new person you're like oh can we
get the veteran over here please. Yeah even the 55 year old that's about to retire I don't need this
(20:04):
kid straight out of school. Yeah yeah I remember in high school. No pants still. No pants.
In college I donated plasma so much that I have scars in my veins now from doing that.
Yeah speaking of looking like abusing drugs that's that's what I got going on. Get that money son.
(20:25):
Get that plasma money. Yep. All right back to the randomizer.
Respiratory system. Let's see what we got here. We have the nose the mouth the throat the trachea
the lungs and the sinuses. Any thoughts comments on any of these guys? I'm just so grateful for
(20:46):
when it's working because when you speak and you can't get a good breath of air you know and you're
just taking deep breaths or you're just got congestion or whatever and I mean I guess that's
it's working and quite enough whatever needs to fight off but man it really makes you appreciate
breathing when you can't breathe so well. Yeah no that's totally true you take it for granted and
(21:10):
tell you're sick and you're like I wish I could breathe through my nose. Yep I feel like my sinuses
are never fully clear you know there's always some stuff up in there I hate it I wish it was clear
sometimes. Yeah people that have allergies man like this is not the place for you and you might know
that Dave. Yeah there's a lot going on here in Texas like the dander and everything like that man
(21:34):
it's bad here. My buddy's that way like it's always and my brother-in-law every time we're
going to eat he always has to clear himself out you know he goes to the restroom and clears him
you know clears out the kind of the drainage and it's like I feel bad man like that's just how it is here.
Yeah it's bad like Dave I know you have sleep apnea right? Yeah. So I have severe sleep apnea I
(21:58):
stopped breathing 105 times in apnea. Yeah. But is there anything worse and I know I think you
told me at one point you didn't really care for the machine. Yeah. But have you ever like gone
in like right before you go to bed like you sneeze a bunch of times or your nose is then all clogged
up and then you got to work just like it doesn't work. Yeah. There have been nights where I've had
(22:18):
to stay up because I could not breathe through because when for those that don't know when you
have a sleep apnea mask your mouth is closed. Everybody's fine with it for the mask that I have.
Yeah. So your mouth is closed the whole time and you're trying to just breathe through your nose
but if I start sneezing before I go to bed it's impossible to get to sleep man. It's so hard.
Oh no I can't. Yeah. Yeah I'm the mouth breather when I sleep man I have to.
(22:42):
Just agreeing with you John I hate it using the CPAP machine when I have it cold or something like
that. It's just it's hard it's impossible. Yeah. One day I'll be cool enough to get the aspire.
Yeah join us in the cyborgs. Yeah. So I really like a clean nose you know besides sinuses just
my nose itself and I have to admit it like I got these built-in tools that I can help keep my nose
(23:08):
clean and sometimes I use them and I try to do it you know in private and stuff like that but
I don't know about you guys but I gotta get that stuff out of there man. I mean look there's two
types of people Dave people that pick their nose and people are just liars that say they don't
because everybody does. Everybody does. And so it's funny because like look if I've had to if I had
(23:29):
everyone bothering me or something like that I do it while I was driving but like there'd be nobody
around to make sure there's nobody around me. Yeah. Because there's a time filled episode about
that you know I'm like but when I was thinking about it I'm like I'm sitting here looking at other
cars I'm like there's no way from that far they can see me it doesn't really matter. Yeah. I can't
see anything they're doing so they can't see anything I'm doing. It's fine. Yeah it's fine.
(23:54):
Yeah I've had those thoughts for sure. Like I'm like I like a very clean nose as well to where like
I don't even like hair in my nose like I'd trim my nose hairs like all the time. Oh do you? Yeah.
I think you're not supposed to though I think you're supposed to leave some in there for
filters or whatever. Yeah I wish I didn't have any hair in my nose dude that is like the one like
if I could pick one place in my body to just no longer have hair in it it would be my nose because
(24:18):
and it's just I don't know it just bugs me man sometimes it gets itchy or whatever and you know
I don't know. Yeah yeah I try to trim it pretty regularly. I got the best trimmer.
Nice. All right also in the respiratory the lungs I kind of hate them because they always remind me
that I'm fat like all the time. Like when I'm trying to like clip my toenails or tie my shoes my
(24:43):
lungs are like you forgot your fat and I'm like breathing heavy just doing this simple task.
I'm like thanks lungs. It's funny because I can't breathe when I clip my toenails because my tummy's
in the way. Yeah that's true. My tummy's pushing on the lungs. My tummy's pushing on the lungs and
trying to get my trying to get my foot up there at the same time. It's not a pretty sight ladies.
Those around the world that were interested in me you know I'm sorry.
(25:10):
Yep we're vulnerable and fat done and happy it's all good.
The ladies are attracted to that too John so it's good. All right let's go one last time on the
randomizer. The integumentary system so that has our skin hair nails sweat glands oil glands
(25:30):
and the hypodermis or fat tissue. You know we just talked about nose hairs but yeah you guys
remember when we had hair on our head? That was pretty awesome. I saw a picture of it once. Yeah
and do you remember when we had hairless ears and backs? That was pretty awesome too. Oh my gosh yes
you know my hair is stupid like earlier I mentioned autoimmune disease it's all based around hair
(25:53):
so like I'm prone to therophilicals they can turn into like a cyst or something like that
so I get them and it just sucks dude it's a terrible terrible terrible thing to get.
I'm sorry dude that's terrible. Yeah man it sucks. It was one of these but I was dealt with it's fine.
When did you find out about it? I think I was actually told what it was I had no clue what it was
(26:15):
but like it plays into my glands and stuff like that because it gives me like bumps under my
arms and stuff like that. Yeah that's kind of what keeps me for right now from going to the gym
because of the friction. Oh yeah maybe it's just all irritated. Yeah it's all irritated so
but it was like 2000 and it might have been like 2020-2021 when I found out what it actually was.
(26:35):
Oh okay. So shout out to my peeps with Hydra Denitis Super Ativa. Y'all knew it so. Oh no so
yes. My fingernails grow like crazy though man. Yeah. It drives my sister nuts because like I don't
cut my nails very often I really don't and like because I like to have nails nothing I'm not going
to look like girlish but she tells me they're too long all the time. I'm like but they're good for
(27:00):
scratching and stuff like yeah like my little bit of a nail yeah. To not have a nail like I don't
know how people like I've seen dudes that have their nails all the way down I don't know what you
guys do. I can't do that. That's annoying to me. It always feels super weird when I freshly cut them.
I do get them down pretty low but yeah. I hate when I accidentally cut it too low and oh well this
(27:22):
is like oh that's tender now. Yeah dude that's the worst. Like the problem for me is that because I
don't cut them enough like I'll hit my hand I'll raise my hand on something and the whole nail
chips like you know it chips down to like the the low part that makes it tender like Ben just said.
Yeah. Yeah that part sucks. Yep. So yeah I didn't know the hypodermis is what they call the fat
(27:45):
tissue. I didn't know that either. Yeah I didn't realize my doctor said I was so fat it's more
like hypodermis. That jokes. Hey Bart your epidermis is showing. It is.
(28:07):
See epidermis means your hair. So technically it's true. That's what makes it so funny.
Pardon me a moment. Hey Nelson he's really hurt. I think he broke his leg. I said ha ha.
(28:28):
You guys got oil glands would you rate them normal or above or below normal?
Like your forehead, hands stuff like that. Where are you at in the oil scale? John.
I got an argument with somebody once in high school at Columbia because my hair was so like oily.
Yeah. They're like in a state in state in perfect form. Yeah. Like John Stamos like.
(28:51):
And they're like you use hairspray or gel or something. I was like no man nothing. No hair
products. I guess my head was just naturally oily like that but my hair stayed perfectly.
Yeah. I had nice feathery hair. Back in the day man. Back in the day I had a good head of hair.
What do you think Ben? Do you have hard working oil glands? I'm guessing it's kind of normal just
(29:14):
because I don't think about it that much. Yeah. It was more of a problem than I would notice it
and be bugged by it. I don't get super dry skin like some people do and as far as I know I mean
unless I'm just oblivious to it I don't think I'm super oily or anything either. Yeah. The only
thing I see is that if my forehead touches any kind of glass it's like immediately there's a spot
(29:39):
of oil and I'm like is that normal? Is that too much? I don't know but it's probably in the normal
range. That definitely happens. Yeah. All right. Well there are other parts we didn't talk about
you know the endocrine system, the reproductive system, the lymphatic system, the urinary system.
Maybe we can do a part two someday but I was fun just highlighting some of the parts of the body
(30:00):
that are just weird, hard, fun, all the above. So let's turn the time over to Ben with some
psychological physiological interactions and thoughts. So it's interesting how connected
our mind and our body are. I mean obviously our mind comes from our brain which is my body.
It makes sense but I mean there's a lot of interaction going on too and it's interesting
(30:22):
because the body can have a lot of influence on how we're feeling emotionally and our cognitive
functionings. This is something I didn't know but tumors can cause hallucinations even. Wow. Anxiety
and personality changes depending on where the tumor is. Thyroidism can cause depression, anxiety,
(30:43):
sleeplessness, irritability, even Lyme disease. I heard that Justin Bieber got Lyme disease and it
caused some pretty severe depression and anxiety and I know that vitamin D deficiency can really
impact depression and of course everybody's experience being hangry. I think that's been
added to some of the current dictionaries now. Yeah. We're kind of more irritable when we're
(31:07):
hungry you know. So definitely when the body's not working right it can impact us emotionally
on our mood and everything like that. On the flip side our mind has a powerful effect on our body
as well. There's people that will go under hypnosis during surgeries so that they don't need to
take as much anesthesia and so they'll just not even really be put under and so just because they
(31:32):
can go under hypnosis. Wow. And depression has been linked to so many chronic illnesses, diabetes,
asthma, cardiovascular disease, arthritis. Schizophrenia has been linked to a higher risk
of heart and respiratory diseases and you know people with mental health conditions are more
likely to suffer from sleep disorders like insomnia or sleep apnea. It makes sense if you have
(31:57):
high anxiety it's going to be hard to sleep. Yeah. With depression I mean that's one of the
actually diagnostic symptoms they actually have for a major depressive disorder is there's been a
significant shift in your sleep whether you're sleeping a whole lot more than normal or a whole
lot less either way and so and even things like laughter is something that they found can really
(32:20):
improve our health just having positive thoughts, having things that we look forward to stuff like
that. The other thing is that especially some people can put a lot of weight on their body image
especially when we're younger and then as we get older I mean nobody's body holds up over time right
(32:40):
and put too much weight on how we look or how our body you know we feel fit or whatever things like
that it can have a downside to that I guess down the road. So I mean it's important and good actually
to take good care of our bodies and to prioritize that and to some extent and so finding that balance
it can be hard you know it's like you want to take good care of yourself and you want to feel good
(33:05):
that you know that your body is doing well but then on the flip side of it when bad things come you
don't want to have to spiral into this depression because we can no longer do the things we used
to be able to do and so if our whole lives revolve around being healthy that way it's a challenge.
So one thing I recommend is in general is to recognize and appreciate the parts of our body
(33:28):
that are working. Life is happier when we have gratitude and when we can appreciate what is
that joke you were saying that one part just above the knee that does feel good. Yeah. If you have
things that are working be grateful for those and it can kind of spread when we feel good emotionally
(33:49):
then that takes some of the burden off of the parts that aren't working so well. It actually helps
in healing when we can emotionally be in a better place. That's awesome. I really appreciate all the
information but also that recommendation on the end of just being grateful for what is working well
and how that can actually help our mental health and our physical health just having that gratitude
(34:12):
and recognition. So thanks Ben. I appreciate that. Yeah. So look and here's my advice. First of all
hey I just like self-diagnosed myself with like 15 different things but I don't know if I'm Ben's
listening. Just kind of to the people you know the young kids wanting some things that are you know
you're getting married or out of college if you love money and you want to keep it when you grow up
(34:35):
you need to stay healthy now. Growing up and getting old and having to go to the hospital and
the doctor's often it gets expensive man. It gets really expensive. Take care of your teeth,
get your feet, you know take care of everything man. Do that now because it's so much harder later
to do. That's true. That's just me. No that's a good point. Thanks John. All right guys so look
(34:58):
