Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, Ian, let me ask you this. I was reading
a I was reading a medical study yesterday. That sounds
a lot grander than it is. Do you know the
strength of your sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I don't either. I have no idea what my what
my sperm is. I don't even know if I'm calling
it by the right name.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Has that many different things you can measure that give
you an overall assessment of the strength. Are you talking
about one indicator in particular one sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Maybe I know, because I don't even know what would
go into that.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
So I guess motility is the one that comes to mind, right.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
So there's there's motility. Is there also volume of semen?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
No, concentration of sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
That's also the number of sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So, but the number of sperm in a voluminous amount
of semen. Like the elevator yesterday. Oh yeah, Diane, we
were in the elevator. Either somebody spilled some milk or
somebody was getting busy in the elevator.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
It was one of the two. We were in the
elevator yesterday, Tyler and I. We didn't make the mess,
but we were in the elevator leaving yesterday, and either
somebody spilled some milk in the elevator but like like
like like one percent, if you know what I mean,
Or somebody got hands in there and it was on
the elevator floor.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So either it was voluminous or it was milk.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But one of the two was in the elevator yesterday,
and I was careful to walk around it. I didn't
act like a child and go splashing through it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
For you anyway, Well, we're trying to say, is seamen
helps assist with the strength of your sperm?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Anyway, So I'm reading this thing yesterday that says hold on.
It says men with strong sperm live longer and based
on And I don't know the answer to your question
of like what makes sperm strong. I don't even know
how I find out if I have strong sperm. But
they said they studied, They studied I think it was
(02:14):
eighty thousand men somebody someplace overseas.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think it was in Denmark.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They studied eighty thousand men over five decades, over over
fifty years.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Of course it was Denmark.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And they found out.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And they found out that in this has nothing no
other life events like education, how rich or poor you
were growing up. But men with strong I guess they
tested their sperm and then kept testing it. Men with
strong sperm lived three years longer on average, three years
(02:49):
longer than men with weak ass sperm.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Is it kind of legion to believe it's like just
overall virility, you know, I don't, I know you're going
to live longer.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The No, that wouldn't be the case. Why would that
be the case. What about it?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Factors like family?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I'm assuming they ruled this out because it'd be too
easy to say, well, perhaps your ability to pro create
has provided you with a support system that.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Helps you as you get rolled out.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's rulled out, that's ruled out, that's completely ruled out.
This was literally just they were able to tell. And
they looked again. They looked at They looked at eighty
thousand men. So you had some that were married, some
that weren't married, some that had kids, some that didn't
have kids, Some that were rich, some that were poor,
some that were educated, some that weren't, Some that had
high paying jobs, some that had low paying jobs, some
(03:45):
that smoked, some that didn't, some that did drugs, some
that didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And What they found is take all of that up
and aggregate. If you got strong sperm, you live three
years longer.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So they said, strong sperm makes it to eighty, sperm
makes it to seventy seven. Now you can also go
who cares? But still you get three years for having
strong sperm. Yes, that's not bad. What they don't tell
you is though I don't know how. I don't know
what my sperm is. I have no idea what my
sperm is.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well, you're fortunate enough to never have had to test
it because of difficulties conceived.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah, we had to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
True, does Scott have stronger weak sperm?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
His?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I remember them saying his motility was fine?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What's his volume?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I don't remember that. I mean it has been a
long time. Was it a semen thing for him?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You can't look past the tailwind that semen provides, and
I think doesn't semen like nourish the sperm as it
makes its way to the egg.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So sperm is the tadpole, yeah, and semen is the pool.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
So to speak.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, right, like I have that right sticky water. No,
but the sperm lives in the sperm lives in the.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Semen as it's certainly making that journey.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's like the farmer in the dell.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I think Ian's uncomfortable with me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm still here, right, I have nothing medically of value
to add.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Why are you taking notes?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, but you don't even know. I'm definitely taking notes,
but you don't even know. If your semen is strong,
I'm gonna have to google it if break it off
the phone. Actually, not semen. I'm wrong there. Your your
pool may be good, but your swimmers may not be sperm.
You need strong sperm, you need strong spin.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I mean, I grew up in the two thousands and
I remember everybody saying you shouldn't leave your laptop on
top of your lap, and I definitely did that for
a long time. So I might be screwed.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But you know I'll be at your funeral. I'll live
three years longer than you. Christ. Will you do me
a favor?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Will you find me somebody who knows, like if they
have stronger week sperm.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I don't like saying week.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Sperm because it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
No, but it's just like like like it's it's punching
down well, but it's not your You.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Come from a place of privilege, in fast. You have
on many occasions refer to your sperm as super supersperm.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Absolutely, But if I'm being completely honest, I have no
idea if I have stronger weak sperm, and I just
because you have weak sperm, I don't think it means
that you can't conceive.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
It's interesting that you've beat and you brought it up.
You beat smoking, because I'm pretty sure smoking and drinking
they tell you to cut out to improve the quality
of your sperm.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh really, yes, how about that smoking, drinking drugs, My
spur my spurm kill anything. My sperm went a war.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Maybe they owe their abilities to your diet, Thank you,
because isn't that a big thing? A lot of antioxidants? Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Man?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Could you imagine Without that, my sperm wouldn't have just
gotten like gotten to the egg.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It would have blown it up. It would it would
have hit Jackie's egg so hard it would have exploded.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It exit wounds. But nobody will tell me. How do
you know what your sperm strength? Well, let's see, like
I said, maybe it's there. There is a metric and
a range. But for you and I, like, what's the
sperm version of arm wrestling? Can we see of the
(07:19):
two of us, who is better?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh? Are you know?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like sometimes you'll see snake videos where the snakes fight,
so our wings gott to wrap around each other and
then just get after it and fight. No, no, Christian,
will you find me somebody who's been to Like what clinic?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Do you go to? A fertility clinic? And where did
Scott have to test his sperm?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
It was like a fertility clinic.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
We do.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Urologists do that too, though, I think so maybe, like
does anybody.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I'm being honest, like, if you if you go to
or I'm being serious, I understand that if you, if
you are having trouble conceiving that you would go to
whether it's a fertility doctor or urologist or something to
get your to get your sperm checked.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Right, Is there any scenario?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Is there any scenario where you get your sperm checked
if it's not fertility related, like if you're if you're
a sperm donor yeah, do they now? I guess it
is a little bit fertility related, but you're not. It's
not because you and your wife are have been unsuccessed.
I don't like saying that you've been having trouble getting pregnant. Right,
(08:23):
it could just be I want to uh, I want
I want beer money. Let me throw a couple of
loads your way. Do they test it there in there?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Maybe you what the answer is delt with some sort
of condition and you want to make sure that you're
good in that aspect.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And let me tell you this. Let me tell you
this for the future. Let me give you the three
Strong sperm lives the longest.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
He said to eighty on average eighty right.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
But strong sperm lives the longest. Weak sperm lives the shortest. Azotopia, azuspermia.
Excuse me? What azuspermia lives in the middle?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
What is azuspermia?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I had never heard of it either. I had never
heard of it either.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Sounds like one of Frank Zappa's kids.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Azu spermia.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
You have no sperm, but you have seminal fluid. Oh
my god, I questions.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Azus Spermia is people with no sperm. They live longer
than weak sperm.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Oh, but not longer than strong.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
If strong, well, not middle.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's actually closer to weak than strong, but it's still
longer than weak. You're better with none in terms of longevity. Interesting,
then I don't even like what is what? What is
azu spermia? I don't know anybody that has it. I've
never even heard of it.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So I know we all cringe at my question. Right,
but it's fair because that may be something you don't
know until you're tested, because it presents like normal ejaculate. God,
I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
To the community put a pool in, but nobody's allowed
to swim. What a ridiculous idea.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
No, because the obviously.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Put in the pool and build another house.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
When when the fluid and the sperm meet up, Oh
hire you uh, in a normal situation, you you don't
notice that in the result it's microscopic.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
You can't see sperm with your eyes.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
That's my point this, and I've never heard of did
you called a sperm?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Yeah, it's a z o o spermia spelled like morning zoo.
I thought it would be, but no, it's z o right.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Scott Shannon was the was the zoo keeper of a
zoo spermia. Wow, So you get up and get going.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
You may think that, like the insight, it's a motility
issue and you can be how what is the prevalence?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't know. I have never even heard of that.
That's gotta be incredibly rare. I know they live longer
people that have weak swimmers.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
The definition from Hopkins is, uh, there is no sperm
in the ejaculate.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
When Diane says that, it sounds medical. When you say it, it
just sounds creepy. So there's no sperm in. So it
is the neighborhood put in a swimming pool, but nobody's
allowed to swim in. Yeah, that's dumb. I would rather
not even have the pool. No, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Eh, what did you just realize?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But if you didn't have the pool, you can't masturbate.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
That's not true. You could still orgasm to what dust?
You've asked that question when before of people? And that
does go on without no, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
All right now, I don't even know what people are
calling for. Hi Ellie at the morning. Hi, this mean yeah,
how's your sperm? You're a woman? Hi? How are you? Hi?
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Elliott?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
So I'm a trans woman. Oh okay, and I had
my I had my sperm frozen before transition. Okay, So
I got numbers and everything for them. They have very
high motility, very motility.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What is motive.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
What is motility? Essentially the swimming.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So they're good, they're they're strong swimmers.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, right on go you do you have
a lot of them.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, it was a very high percentage just to to
semen like to semen volume and yeah, uh not anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
But at the time, No, no, I understand that. And
you frozen and that's fine. The good on you, good
on you.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
So did we hit on all the metrics them?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I don't have time on ice? What is the what
is it? What is a large number? Isn't it like
one hundred and twenty million?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I have no idea?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Isn't isn't is? What for? What are you? Sperm in
a sperm swimmers in a pool?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Concentration?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh god, that's accurate because it sounds gross when you
think of the game show. No, you know what I
think of, Oh how much pulp is in my orange juice?
That's what I think of.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, No, but isn't the number like one hundred and
twenty million sperm in a So.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I built the combasing that on doctor or you read that?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah, I didn't make that over guessing.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
No, you know what when when? When? When it got frozen?
I went in and counted one, two three.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
It says a normal sperm concentration is between fifteen to
two hundred and fifty nine millions sperm per milli eter.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh that looks like during the summer when it's really
hot in China and they show all of those people
all jammed together on those rafts and tubes.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That's what my seminal fluid looks at.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
The analysis can also assess sperm shape and motility.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh my my sperm they all got they all got
muff and tops.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Shape.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You ain't got no tail, misshapen. Maybe that plays into motility.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh, like they're they're fat and blobby, So they don't
they're not, they're not what's the word.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I'm looking aerodynamics.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
So there's motility, the count, and uh ejaculate volume.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, that's along the lines of what I said about
the semen.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
The Yeah, but you could have one hundred and twenty
million in a in an Olympic sized swimming pool or
in a kiddie pool.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, I shouldn't be in there.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
But like a small pool or a big pool, your
concentration is much higher. Right, But you also need to
give them fruit toose the Yeah, but I mean, look,
look at the elevator floor yesterday I did. There could
have been twenty in there. There could have been two
hundred million in there. I don't know anyway, Thank you,
my friend, thank you. I bet I got I bet
(15:14):
of all of that. I bet I got a lot.
I bet they're strong, but a touch.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Misshapen because of your vices.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, and I'm short.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Oh I know. I think these look deformed. They're not
just tinier tails.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Oh great, So like I gotta, I gotta. I got
an arm coming out of my head on my spur.
I'm Journey's Hi Elliott in the morning, Hi Elliots Jay, Hey,
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Dude? Hey, I want to let you know I received
a vasectomy and they checked your swimmers before and after.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh that's a great that's one that we didn't think of.
So if you go in for visectomy, they check, they
check everything out.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yes, sir, And then now I'm I got a pull
with no swimmers.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So is everybody who has a vasectomy a zoospermia?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I believe so if you look into it, uh, I
believe your body actually starts creating antibodies against your own sperm.
Once you get a vas sectomy, I think because they
start building up a lot, so your body like has
to start getting rid of them somehow. So a lot
of people that get a vathectomies can't have them reversed.
Even if they have them reversed, they still don't make
(16:35):
the Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
No kidding, Hey, can is that? And listen?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I clearly I don't know a lot in spermology, is.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
They Yes, very clearly, they excuse you.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
They test your sperm before a vasectomy, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
They check it before and then they check it after
to make sure you don't have any swimmers.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, no, no, I.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Get that the test afterwards, right, that makes sense, But
I didn't know that you had to test before.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I mean it was in the army, so maybe that
was just a weird army thing. But when I got
mine done, they had to give a I had to
give a sample before and after. I had very strong sperm.
One of the ladies, Yeah, one of the ladies that
looked at it actually got pregnant under when she was
looking at.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So thank you, sir, thank you? Did Wait did we
know that? I've never heard that? What that?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Before?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I testing that that they'll test you pre I thought
you'd just make a make an appointment for a vasectomy. Yeah,
you go in, they they they Benny Hannah, your your
VAZ deference and then you're good to go.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't think too In all the discussions we've had
about vasectomies, we've heard people refer to themselves them as
as a zoospermic.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No is that word?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I just I don't think I've no, I'm not gonna
say that I've never.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Run across thank you. No.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But remember I wanted to go in with a group
and have like a big like almost like a semi
circle as guard Kerk always around March Madness, but like
Coastguard Kurt and Bigsie and Ditchy and Sweet Nelly and myself.
So not only so, I now I got to do
like a semi circle jerk and the the.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Procedure also from Hopkins. Yes, one percent of all men
are a zus spermic, so if we actually they the
next line is imagine a stadium with fifty thousand men
attending a game. Five hundred of those men will be
azus spermik.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Only one way to find out, guys, Night out, Body Blue,
Come on in, No oh sorry, Hawk's tua. Come on in, Elliot,
where are my gun? Line? Seven? Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Hey, So my wife and I were having trouble receiving,
so I had to go in and get analyzed, if
you will. And it was I remember, the motility was
like you're normally supposed to have like millions of swimmers,
but I only had like hundreds of thousands. And so
(19:17):
I actually had to have surgery because I had something
called a barrack castile.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I don't know if you ever heard of that, but.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Barrick a sile.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Was it like a blockage.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
When you have a hemorrhoid that's on your butthole.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yes, it is, sometimes it's in your butthole, but yes, yeah,
well I had one.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Of I had that same thing but on my testicle.
So yeah, but hey, but the doctor he said, hey,
you know, we can probably fix this with surgery. And uh,
so I had the surgery and he said, okay, you
(19:58):
know it takes like three months for your testicle to
make sperm that goes out the door, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Sure, And and I don't remember it was like four
five months later, but my wife is pregnant.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Now, oh, Wow, good for you, Good for you, and
you had you had no idea, like and I understand
that you're saying, it's like having a hemorrhoid, which I
have had, and they're like, you know you have a hemorrhoid, right,
like whether it's itchy or painful or you can feel
yourself sitting on it or whatever it is, Like I've
had a hemorrhoid on the on the in the in
(20:34):
the testicles.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You have no clue that you have one of those.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
I didn't know because well, so I went to the
doctor and he like felt one and he said can
you feel that? He like showed me how to feel
for it. It was because it was like on the top.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It's really strange.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
It's like on the top of the testicle where I
had never felt around before before, but like, yeah, it
was up high on the.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Testicle, and wow, he was able to.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Go in and fix them and then yeah, now everything's
working on its supposed to.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Good for you, Good for you, that's good to hear. Hey,
thank you, my friend, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
He makes me wonder with my sperm at a seal, which.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Hey, it's Billy Mays for sperm and a seal.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Which was diagnosed after I had children, and it is
a system, the epidiymus. I wonder if that condition affects
the transport of my sperm because if that, too being
is blocked, which it is, it's I'm always going to
(21:40):
have it unless I need to have it surgically removed
if it got too uncomfortable. If I tested beforehand, which
I didn't, but if I tested now, they would say,
oh wow, like you were very, very fortunate to be
able to have children.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, because you're you're essentially down to one lane on
the Beltway.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I don't know how big the cyst is. As I've
told you before, it's not like visible.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah right, it's not protruding.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
But man, I never thought of that in terms of
what that may have done to my virility.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Then maybe you only had an emergency lane blocked.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
No, but I don't think I had it before because
I never felt the symptoms of it, oh until after kids. Yeah,
that's what I said.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Oh interesting, interesting, All right, give me one more line.
One Hi Ellie in the morning. Hi is this me? Yeah, Hio.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
We can't blame on what Elliott's talking about, sperm.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Guy anyway, go ahead, expert.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
I was a.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Biology teacher, which is awesome anyway. So we have a
neighbor who has that azospermia, so I didn't realize how
rare it was. But since we all sit around talking
about our sperms, we know that they had zero sperm.
He was almost forty years old before he realized that
he couldn't even make kids.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Right, I mean he's still making, but he's still making,
like you're making a mess.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
He's just not making kids.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Yeah, And like Tyler was saying, like there's no way
to know, no, unless you get it eighteen, you should
just take a test that you know or not by
less stressful the yeah no, But I mean think about
you're absolutely right if you you know.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
If you're trying and trying and trying, and they'll tell
you try for a while, you could be a year
and a half, two years into it and realize, oh
my god, I don't even I don't I don't even
have any swimmers in my pool. There's no wonder we're
not getting Practically, you could have you could have gotten
that done earlier. So the right So when you're eighteen,
(23:41):
you get a fake you have to sign up for
the draft and you should get your sperm checked.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Yeah, add it to the list.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
But anyway, separately, my husband and I are going through fertility.
We're actually waiting for our transfer results right now so
we can have all of Ellie in the morning's audience
for us.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Wait, what is what is? What is your transfer results?
Speaker 8 (24:04):
So on Monday we transferred an embryo.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Uh, it actually looks like a little pineapple. But we
have to now wait to see if it sticks around.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh all right, all right, you know what. Good on you.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
When we did the texting, the doctor said, you have
almost a billion sperm in this sample.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Wow, dude, his sperm's loaded.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
And then to.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Add another layer because I know that you're a man of.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Science, no joke.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Even though he had a billion sperm, he has a condition.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
It's fascinating, So he does it.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
He's not sick, but his sperm randomly carries a disease.
It's called gonadal mosaics.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's all I heard. Wait, it's called.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Mozaicism. It's gonna blow your mind.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Go natal mosaicism.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Yeah, this is why we had to do fertility treatments.
Even though he has a billion sperm, because randomly some
of them carry a disease. But again, how would you
ever know?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
But what is the disease?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I know the name, I understand the name, but what
is what is does the disease kill the sperms?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
So this is like a method of transferring the disease.
It doesn't matter what disease it is for us.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
It's one that's actually like people, so like Maybes won't survive,
which is how we found out. Right, it's just a
way of passing things on.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
So you could have the natal mosaicism as a way
to give your kids an illness that you didn't even
know you had.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Oh, we don't really have, but you just randomly give
it to them.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
It's like the wildest thing.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Oh, I never even heard of that. I've never heard
of that at all. Crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
All right, you give well, you know what little education fingers.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Crossed tell you tell your neighbor. I said, what's up
now that I know he's a zoospermic? Yeah, and best
for luck with everything. Keep us posted. I'll be on
the edge of my seat.
Hey, Ian, let me ask you this. I was reading
a I was reading a medical study yesterday. That sounds
a lot grander than it is. Do you know the
strength of your sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I do not.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I don't either. I have no idea what my what
my sperm is. I don't even know if I'm calling
it by the right name.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Has that many different things you can measure that give
you an overall assessment of the strength. Are you talking
about one indicator in particular one sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Maybe I know, because I don't even know what would
go into that.
Speaker 5 (00:34):
So I guess motility is the one that comes to mind, right.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
So there's there's motility. Is there also volume of semen?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
No, concentration of sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
What is that?
Speaker 4 (00:46):
That's also the number of sperm?
Speaker 2 (00:50):
So, but the number of sperm in a voluminous amount
of semen. Like the elevator yesterday. Oh yeah, Diane, we
were in the elevator. Either somebody spilled some milk or
somebody was getting busy in the elevator.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
It was one of the two. We were in the
elevator yesterday, Tyler and I. We didn't make the mess,
but we were in the elevator leaving yesterday, and either
somebody spilled some milk in the elevator but like like
like like one percent, if you know what I mean,
Or somebody got hands in there and it was on
the elevator floor.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So either it was voluminous or it was milk.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But one of the two was in the elevator yesterday,
and I was careful to walk around it. I didn't
act like a child and go splashing through it.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
For you anyway, Well, we're trying to say, is seamen
helps assist with the strength of your sperm?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Anyway, So I'm reading this thing yesterday that says hold on.
It says men with strong sperm live longer and based
on And I don't know the answer to your question
of like what makes sperm strong. I don't even know
how I find out if I have strong sperm. But
they said they studied, They studied I think it was
(02:14):
eighty thousand men somebody someplace overseas.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I think it was in Denmark.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
They studied eighty thousand men over five decades, over over
fifty years.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Of course it was Denmark.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
And they found out.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
And they found out that in this has nothing no
other life events like education, how rich or poor you
were growing up. But men with strong I guess they
tested their sperm and then kept testing it. Men with
strong sperm lived three years longer on average, three years
(02:49):
longer than men with weak ass sperm.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Is it kind of legion to believe it's like just
overall virility, you know, I don't, I know you're going
to live longer.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The No, that wouldn't be the case. Why would that
be the case. What about it?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Factors like family?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
What do you mean?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I'm assuming they ruled this out because it'd be too
easy to say, well, perhaps your ability to pro create
has provided you with a support system that.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Helps you as you get rolled out.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
That's rulled out, that's ruled out, that's completely ruled out.
This was literally just they were able to tell. And
they looked again. They looked at They looked at eighty
thousand men. So you had some that were married, some
that weren't married, some that had kids, some that didn't
have kids, Some that were rich, some that were poor,
some that were educated, some that weren't, Some that had
high paying jobs, some that had low paying jobs, some
(03:45):
that smoked, some that didn't, some that did drugs, some
that didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And What they found is take all of that up
and aggregate. If you got strong sperm, you live three
years longer.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
So they said, strong sperm makes it to eighty, sperm
makes it to seventy seven. Now you can also go
who cares? But still you get three years for having
strong sperm. Yes, that's not bad. What they don't tell
you is though I don't know how. I don't know
what my sperm is. I have no idea what my
sperm is.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
Well, you're fortunate enough to never have had to test
it because of difficulties conceived.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Yeah, we had to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
True, does Scott have stronger weak sperm?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
His?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
I remember them saying his motility was fine?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What's his volume?
Speaker 5 (04:29):
I don't remember that. I mean it has been a
long time. Was it a semen thing for him?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You can't look past the tailwind that semen provides, and
I think doesn't semen like nourish the sperm as it
makes its way to the egg.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
So sperm is the tadpole, yeah, and semen is the pool.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
So to speak.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, right, like I have that right sticky water. No,
but the sperm lives in the sperm lives in the.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Semen as it's certainly making that journey.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's like the farmer in the dell.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I think Ian's uncomfortable with me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm still here, right, I have nothing medically of value
to add.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
Why are you taking notes?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, but you don't even know. I'm definitely taking notes,
but you don't even know. If your semen is strong,
I'm gonna have to google it if break it off
the phone. Actually, not semen. I'm wrong there. Your your
pool may be good, but your swimmers may not be sperm.
You need strong sperm, you need strong spin.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I mean, I grew up in the two thousands and
I remember everybody saying you shouldn't leave your laptop on
top of your lap, and I definitely did that for
a long time. So I might be screwed.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But you know I'll be at your funeral. I'll live
three years longer than you. Christ. Will you do me
a favor?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Will you find me somebody who knows, like if they
have stronger week sperm.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I don't like saying week.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Sperm because it's all relative.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
No, but it's just like like like it's it's punching
down well, but it's not your You.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Come from a place of privilege, in fast. You have
on many occasions refer to your sperm as super supersperm.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Absolutely, But if I'm being completely honest, I have no
idea if I have stronger weak sperm, and I just
because you have weak sperm, I don't think it means
that you can't conceive.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
It's interesting that you've beat and you brought it up.
You beat smoking, because I'm pretty sure smoking and drinking
they tell you to cut out to improve the quality
of your sperm.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh really, yes, how about that smoking, drinking drugs, My
spur my spurm kill anything. My sperm went a war.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Maybe they owe their abilities to your diet, Thank you,
because isn't that a big thing? A lot of antioxidants? Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Man?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Could you imagine Without that, my sperm wouldn't have just
gotten like gotten to the egg.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It would have blown it up. It would it would
have hit Jackie's egg so hard it would have exploded.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
It exit wounds. But nobody will tell me. How do
you know what your sperm strength? Well, let's see, like
I said, maybe it's there. There is a metric and
a range. But for you and I, like, what's the
sperm version of arm wrestling? Can we see of the
(07:19):
two of us, who is better?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh? Are you know?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like sometimes you'll see snake videos where the snakes fight,
so our wings gott to wrap around each other and
then just get after it and fight. No, no, Christian,
will you find me somebody who's been to Like what clinic?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Do you go to? A fertility clinic? And where did
Scott have to test his sperm?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
It was like a fertility clinic.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
We do.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Urologists do that too, though, I think so maybe, like
does anybody.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I'm being honest, like, if you if you go to
or I'm being serious, I understand that if you, if
you are having trouble conceiving that you would go to
whether it's a fertility doctor or urologist or something to
get your to get your sperm checked.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Right, Is there any scenario?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Is there any scenario where you get your sperm checked
if it's not fertility related, like if you're if you're
a sperm donor yeah, do they now? I guess it
is a little bit fertility related, but you're not. It's
not because you and your wife are have been unsuccessed.
I don't like saying that you've been having trouble getting pregnant. Right,
(08:23):
it could just be I want to uh, I want
I want beer money. Let me throw a couple of
loads your way. Do they test it there in there?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Maybe you what the answer is delt with some sort
of condition and you want to make sure that you're
good in that aspect.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
And let me tell you this. Let me tell you
this for the future. Let me give you the three
Strong sperm lives the longest.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
He said to eighty on average eighty right.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
But strong sperm lives the longest. Weak sperm lives the shortest. Azotopia, azuspermia.
Excuse me? What azuspermia lives in the middle?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
What is azuspermia?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I had never heard of it either. I had never
heard of it either.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Sounds like one of Frank Zappa's kids.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Azu spermia.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
You have no sperm, but you have seminal fluid. Oh
my god, I questions.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Azus Spermia is people with no sperm. They live longer
than weak sperm.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Oh, but not longer than strong.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
If strong, well, not middle.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It's actually closer to weak than strong, but it's still
longer than weak. You're better with none in terms of longevity. Interesting,
then I don't even like what is what? What is
azu spermia? I don't know anybody that has it. I've
never even heard of it.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So I know we all cringe at my question. Right,
but it's fair because that may be something you don't
know until you're tested, because it presents like normal ejaculate. God,
I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
To the community put a pool in, but nobody's allowed
to swim. What a ridiculous idea.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
No, because the obviously.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Put in the pool and build another house.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
When when the fluid and the sperm meet up, Oh
hire you uh, in a normal situation, you you don't
notice that in the result it's microscopic.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
You can't see sperm with your eyes.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
That's my point this, and I've never heard of did
you called a sperm?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Yeah, it's a z o o spermia spelled like morning zoo.
I thought it would be, but no, it's z o right.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Scott Shannon was the was the zoo keeper of a
zoo spermia. Wow, So you get up and get going.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
You may think that, like the insight, it's a motility
issue and you can be how what is the prevalence?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
I don't know. I have never even heard of that.
That's gotta be incredibly rare. I know they live longer
people that have weak swimmers.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
The definition from Hopkins is, uh, there is no sperm
in the ejaculate.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
When Diane says that, it sounds medical. When you say it, it
just sounds creepy. So there's no sperm in. So it
is the neighborhood put in a swimming pool, but nobody's
allowed to swim in. Yeah, that's dumb. I would rather
not even have the pool. No, that's not true.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Eh, what did you just realize?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
But if you didn't have the pool, you can't masturbate.
Speaker 4 (11:45):
That's not true. You could still orgasm to what dust?
You've asked that question when before of people? And that
does go on without no, I know.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
All right now, I don't even know what people are
calling for. Hi Ellie at the morning. Hi, this mean yeah,
how's your sperm? You're a woman? Hi? How are you? Hi?
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Elliott?
Speaker 7 (12:17):
So I'm a trans woman. Oh okay, and I had
my I had my sperm frozen before transition. Okay, So
I got numbers and everything for them. They have very
high motility, very motility.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
What is motive.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
What is motility? Essentially the swimming.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So they're good, they're they're strong swimmers.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, right on go you do you have
a lot of them.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Yeah, it was a very high percentage just to to
semen like to semen volume and yeah, uh not anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
But at the time, No, no, I understand that. And
you frozen and that's fine. The good on you, good
on you.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
So did we hit on all the metrics them?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I don't have time on ice? What is the what
is it? What is a large number? Isn't it like
one hundred and twenty million?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
I have no idea?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Isn't isn't is? What for? What are you? Sperm in
a sperm swimmers in a pool?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Concentration?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Oh god, that's accurate because it sounds gross when you
think of the game show. No, you know what I
think of, Oh how much pulp is in my orange juice?
That's what I think of.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, No, but isn't the number like one hundred and
twenty million sperm in a So.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I built the combasing that on doctor or you read that?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah, I didn't make that over guessing.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
No, you know what when when? When? When it got frozen?
I went in and counted one, two three.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
It says a normal sperm concentration is between fifteen to
two hundred and fifty nine millions sperm per milli eter.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh that looks like during the summer when it's really
hot in China and they show all of those people
all jammed together on those rafts and tubes.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That's what my seminal fluid looks at.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
The analysis can also assess sperm shape and motility.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh my my sperm they all got they all got
muff and tops.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Shape.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You ain't got no tail, misshapen. Maybe that plays into motility.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh, like they're they're fat and blobby, So they don't
they're not, they're not what's the word.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
I'm looking aerodynamics.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
So there's motility, the count, and uh ejaculate volume.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Yeah, that's along the lines of what I said about
the semen.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
The Yeah, but you could have one hundred and twenty
million in a in an Olympic sized swimming pool or
in a kiddie pool.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, I shouldn't be in there.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
But like a small pool or a big pool, your
concentration is much higher. Right, But you also need to
give them fruit toose the Yeah, but I mean, look,
look at the elevator floor yesterday I did. There could
have been twenty in there. There could have been two
hundred million in there. I don't know anyway, Thank you,
my friend, thank you. I bet I got I bet
(15:14):
of all of that. I bet I got a lot.
I bet they're strong, but a touch.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Misshapen because of your vices.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Well, and I'm short.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Oh I know. I think these look deformed. They're not
just tinier tails.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Oh great, So like I gotta, I gotta. I got
an arm coming out of my head on my spur.
I'm Journey's Hi Elliott in the morning, Hi Elliots Jay, Hey,
what's going on?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Dude? Hey, I want to let you know I received
a vasectomy and they checked your swimmers before and after.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Oh that's a great that's one that we didn't think of.
So if you go in for visectomy, they check, they
check everything out.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yes, sir, And then now I'm I got a pull
with no swimmers.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So is everybody who has a vasectomy a zoospermia?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I believe so if you look into it, uh, I
believe your body actually starts creating antibodies against your own sperm.
Once you get a vas sectomy, I think because they
start building up a lot, so your body like has
to start getting rid of them somehow. So a lot
of people that get a vathectomies can't have them reversed.
Even if they have them reversed, they still don't make
(16:35):
the Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
No kidding, Hey, can is that? And listen?
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I clearly I don't know a lot in spermology, is.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
They Yes, very clearly, they excuse you.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
They test your sperm before a vasectomy, Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
They check it before and then they check it after
to make sure you don't have any swimmers.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, no, no, I.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Get that the test afterwards, right, that makes sense, But
I didn't know that you had to test before.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I mean it was in the army, so maybe that
was just a weird army thing. But when I got
mine done, they had to give a I had to
give a sample before and after. I had very strong sperm.
One of the ladies, Yeah, one of the ladies that
looked at it actually got pregnant under when she was
looking at.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So thank you, sir, thank you? Did Wait did we
know that? I've never heard that? What that?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Before?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I testing that that they'll test you pre I thought
you'd just make a make an appointment for a vasectomy. Yeah,
you go in, they they they Benny Hannah, your your
VAZ deference and then you're good to go.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't think too In all the discussions we've had
about vasectomies, we've heard people refer to themselves them as
as a zoospermic.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No is that word?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
I just I don't think I've no, I'm not gonna
say that I've never.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Run across thank you. No.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
But remember I wanted to go in with a group
and have like a big like almost like a semi
circle as guard Kerk always around March Madness, but like
Coastguard Kurt and Bigsie and Ditchy and Sweet Nelly and myself.
So not only so, I now I got to do
like a semi circle jerk and the the.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Procedure also from Hopkins. Yes, one percent of all men
are a zus spermic, so if we actually they the
next line is imagine a stadium with fifty thousand men
attending a game. Five hundred of those men will be
azus spermik.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Only one way to find out, guys, Night out, Body Blue,
Come on in, No oh sorry, Hawk's tua. Come on in, Elliot,
where are my gun? Line? Seven? Hi Elliott the morning.
Speaker 9 (18:57):
Hey, So my wife and I were having trouble receiving,
so I had to go in and get analyzed, if
you will. And it was I remember, the motility was
like you're normally supposed to have like millions of swimmers,
but I only had like hundreds of thousands. And so
(19:17):
I actually had to have surgery because I had something
called a barrack castile.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I don't know if you ever heard of that, but.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Barrick a sile.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Was it like a blockage.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
When you have a hemorrhoid that's on your butthole.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yes, it is, sometimes it's in your butthole, but yes, yeah,
well I had one.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
Of I had that same thing but on my testicle.
So yeah, but hey, but the doctor he said, hey,
you know, we can probably fix this with surgery. And uh,
so I had the surgery and he said, okay, you
(19:58):
know it takes like three months for your testicle to
make sperm that goes out the door, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Sure, And and I don't remember it was like four
five months later, but my wife is pregnant.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Now, oh, Wow, good for you, Good for you, and
you had you had no idea, like and I understand
that you're saying, it's like having a hemorrhoid, which I
have had, and they're like, you know you have a hemorrhoid, right,
like whether it's itchy or painful or you can feel
yourself sitting on it or whatever it is, Like I've
had a hemorrhoid on the on the in the in
(20:34):
the testicles.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You have no clue that you have one of those.
Speaker 9 (20:38):
I didn't know because well, so I went to the
doctor and he like felt one and he said can
you feel that? He like showed me how to feel
for it. It was because it was like on the top.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It's really strange.
Speaker 9 (20:49):
It's like on the top of the testicle where I
had never felt around before before, but like, yeah, it
was up high on the.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Testicle, and wow, he was able to.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Go in and fix them and then yeah, now everything's
working on its supposed to.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Good for you, Good for you, that's good to hear. Hey,
thank you, my friend, thank you.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
He makes me wonder with my sperm at a seal, which.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Hey, it's Billy Mays for sperm and a seal.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Which was diagnosed after I had children, and it is
a system, the epidiymus. I wonder if that condition affects
the transport of my sperm because if that, too being
is blocked, which it is, it's I'm always going to
(21:40):
have it unless I need to have it surgically removed
if it got too uncomfortable. If I tested beforehand, which
I didn't, but if I tested now, they would say,
oh wow, like you were very, very fortunate to be
able to have children.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, because you're you're essentially down to one lane on
the Beltway.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I don't know how big the cyst is. As I've
told you before, it's not like visible.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah right, it's not protruding.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
But man, I never thought of that in terms of
what that may have done to my virility.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Then maybe you only had an emergency lane blocked.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
No, but I don't think I had it before because
I never felt the symptoms of it, oh until after kids. Yeah,
that's what I said.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Oh interesting, interesting, All right, give me one more line.
One Hi Ellie in the morning. Hi is this me? Yeah, Hio.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
We can't blame on what Elliott's talking about, sperm.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Guy anyway, go ahead, expert.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
I was a.
Speaker 8 (22:40):
Biology teacher, which is awesome anyway. So we have a
neighbor who has that azospermia, so I didn't realize how
rare it was. But since we all sit around talking
about our sperms, we know that they had zero sperm.
He was almost forty years old before he realized that
he couldn't even make kids.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Right, I mean he's still making, but he's still making,
like you're making a mess.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
He's just not making kids.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Yeah, And like Tyler was saying, like there's no way
to know, no, unless you get it eighteen, you should
just take a test that you know or not by
less stressful the yeah no, But I mean think about
you're absolutely right if you you know.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
If you're trying and trying and trying, and they'll tell
you try for a while, you could be a year
and a half, two years into it and realize, oh
my god, I don't even I don't I don't even
have any swimmers in my pool. There's no wonder we're
not getting Practically, you could have you could have gotten
that done earlier. So the right So when you're eighteen,
(23:41):
you get a fake you have to sign up for
the draft and you should get your sperm checked.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Yeah, add it to the list.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
But anyway, separately, my husband and I are going through fertility.
We're actually waiting for our transfer results right now so
we can have all of Ellie in the morning's audience
for us.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Wait, what is what is? What is your transfer results?
Speaker 8 (24:04):
So on Monday we transferred an embryo.
Speaker 6 (24:08):
Uh, it actually looks like a little pineapple. But we
have to now wait to see if it sticks around.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh all right, all right, you know what. Good on you.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
When we did the texting, the doctor said, you have
almost a billion sperm in this sample.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Wow, dude, his sperm's loaded.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
And then to.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
Add another layer because I know that you're a man of.
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Science, no joke.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Even though he had a billion sperm, he has a condition.
Speaker 6 (24:41):
It's fascinating, So he does it.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
He's not sick, but his sperm randomly carries a disease.
It's called gonadal mosaics.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's all I heard. Wait, it's called.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
Mozaicism. It's gonna blow your mind.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Go natal mosaicism.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Yeah, this is why we had to do fertility treatments.
Even though he has a billion sperm, because randomly some
of them carry a disease. But again, how would you
ever know?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
But what is the disease?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I know the name, I understand the name, but what
is what is does the disease kill the sperms?
Speaker 8 (25:23):
So this is like a method of transferring the disease.
It doesn't matter what disease it is for us.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
It's one that's actually like people, so like Maybes won't survive,
which is how we found out. Right, it's just a
way of passing things on.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
So you could have the natal mosaicism as a way
to give your kids an illness that you didn't even
know you had.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Oh, we don't really have, but you just randomly give
it to them.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
It's like the wildest thing.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
Oh, I never even heard of that. I've never heard
of that at all. Crazy.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
All right, you give well, you know what little education fingers.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Crossed tell you tell your neighbor. I said, what's up
now that I know he's a zoospermic? Yeah, and best
for luck with everything. Keep us posted. I'll be on
the edge of my seat.
