  Speaker 1: Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey, I'm welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: There's Charles to w Chuck, Brian over there, Jerry's here,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: so bend over and let's get started. Everyone warning, body horror. Yeah,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: this is about Enema's trigger warning. Obviously if you see
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the title, you're gonna know what's going on. But you
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: know there's gonna be some gross stuff. And there's also
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a small section that does uh you may not want
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: your kids to hear. Uh. I would just say, if
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: this is probably not family road trip material, yeah, just
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: skip to the next one. Yeah, unless that next one, no,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it's probably safe lately. Oh yeah yeah yeah. And it's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: really just that one part to tell you the truth.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And even then it's not like we're being like, you know,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: lascivious or body. No, it's nothing to be ashamed of it,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: like you just just tread carefully with kids around, everybody's like,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: what are they talking about? I've never been more intrigued
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: via Stuff you Should Know episode and you'll know when
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: did we get there? So keep your pants on? That
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: was terrible but great also at the same time, um,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: so we're talking enemas and yeah, they were probably about
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: seven eight times researching this where I was like, I'm
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: gonna faintly, yeah, and I'm really surprised that I've actually
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: gotten high colonics before, like I've done this stuff. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: think I remember that. And you were into this, right, yes, actually, yeah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: that's a good way to put it. I was into
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: it for a while. Um and because there were times
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: where I would get one and be like, I've never
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: felt more positive and energetic than I've ever felt my life.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Then other times I would get them and I would
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: feel like gray and couldn't look anybody in the eye afterward.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Like it's really strange how it can affect you. But
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, when it does make you feel it, you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: can understand why people do it. The thing is is
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: we'll see the reason that I was doing high colonics
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and why most people do high colonics, especially outside of
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a formal medical setting. It's just basically bunk. That's true.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I remember now you talked about this in our live
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Dr Kellogg episode. Yeah, because I remember you when you
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: said you felt gray. That's how I described it on stage.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: There's no other way to put it. That always gotta laugh. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that's true. Also gotta laugh. That's true. Jokes, No, for sure.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So um, I'll talk a little. I'll pepper this episode
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: with with my memories of that. How about that? Great?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But instead, I've never done it. You've never had an
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: anima even, no, no, nothing like that. Okay, alright, exit
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: only so far and so in that ruling anything out.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing. So like Ed helped us with
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: this one, and he specifically spells out, there's no reason
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: for you to do this. That's true. And just let
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: me correct myself real quick. I did have my colon
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: oscar be so I'm officially not exit only. Oh congratulations, man,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that's a good thing to do. No one told me
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: two things going into this, one of which is that
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the people coming in there to do it walk in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: like wearing rubber smocks basically, and when you see it,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, sure I would do uh. And the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: other thing no one ever told me, and I think
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: people don't tell people this maybe just because it's a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: fun surprise, is that all you do afterward for thirty
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: minutes is fart. I don't remember that I was sitting there,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: but pre op they brought a guy out next to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: me behind the curtain and he was just blowing gas
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: every fifteen seconds, big ones, and I was dying and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the guy I was it was so funny to me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean still five years old. The guy
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: came in to wheel me in the anesthesiologists and I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: was like, is that him? And he that's everybody, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I went so all day long and he went a
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: cacophony of farts and I was like, what a job,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and he just kind of laughed and he said it'll
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: be you two. And I came out and I was
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in that beautiful propof all haze and I told the lady,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I said, I gotta go to the bathroom right now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and she went, you just have to pass, honey. She
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: would just go go ahead and start doing it, and
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: sure enough I just started. I just started blowing heat
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: for how long? Because I really did that. I must
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: have been like just basically out while I was doing it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Now maybe well Emily didn't remember either, but she I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was in there with her and she I think was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: pretty farty. So anyway, all that to say, uh, I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: did have the camera, uh you know, going inside of
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: my body. So you have been an inny now not
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just that, I guess, so I was looking for the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: right word and any sure, so um, well, let's just
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: let's get to the nitty gritty here. Okay, Yeah, what's
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: an enema. It's when you have fluid injected through your
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: anus into the rectum. Sometimes, depending on the amount of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: fluid introduced and how long you can hold it, it
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: can make its way up to the large intestine, which
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is five ft or one and a half meters long,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so it can be a lot of fluid, almost two
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: leaders from what I saw. Um, and then you try
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to hold it and then after a while you pass
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it and you're basically pooping a bunch of water out.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And hopefully if you're doing this for basically a non
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: medical reason, you're you're clearing out any remaining poop material
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, which is when you go in for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a calonic, they have you instead of doing a calonic
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: or or a cinema, they give you the stuff to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: drink where you do nothing but poop for you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: twelve to eighteen hours or whatever for a colonoscopy. Yeah,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: because they don't want they don't want anything in there either, No,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and because they can they can like not make it
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: past whatever chunks are in there, or they can um
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they can kind of um block there the data that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they're getting from it block their view. Who knows, but yeah,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the uber right, like when I had to go one
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: more time and I actually stopped the guy right as
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: we were going in and said, I think you have
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to go one more time? Is that a problem? And
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: he went no, please do say oh right, of course,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: it's like you want all of it out. So let's
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: talk about where you're actually holding this water when you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: get in Eama. Yeah, to the five people still listening,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you think, no, I don't know. I think there are
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: some people that are I mean that listen to the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: poop episode. If they're into that, they're into this sure
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: for sure. So um in your guts, you've got your
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: digestive tract, which basically is your guts, you get your mouth,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you're faring to your esophagus. That's where the food goes
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: into the stomach, and from the stomach it goes into
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the small intestine. And the small intestine is long. It's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: really long. It's like twenty two ft long, all bunched up,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and it's longer then large intestine. But it's much narrower,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and that is where we suck all the nutrients out
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of food, right, and then once we suck all the
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: nutrients out of food, it goes produp into the large intestine.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: That's right, all right. So from this point, uh, you're
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: at the end of the small intestine, right am, I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: in the right part of the body. I feel like
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you shrunk me down and I'm listening to you on
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: like out of here. Uh. You've got the liquid food
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: material at this point, and it's going to pass through
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the iliosecal valve into the secum. And we talked about
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: all this in the poop in the Digestive episodes, but
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it's a nice refresher and I think appendix too. Yeah. Probably,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it's always fun to talk about it because it's such
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a weird system to that, like the answer is twenty
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: two ft of intestines. Yeah, but it's just such a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: beautiful idea or such a great systems. It's pretty cool. Uh.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So the secum is on the right side of the
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: body and the lower abdomen, and then it's going to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: move into this the colon, which is that big, larger
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: segmented tube that goes up the right side and takes
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a little turn actually not a little turn or very
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: sharp turn across the body, uh, in the upper abdomen
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and is kind of curved and tucked underneath the stomach. Yeah,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And then it goes down the other side and makes
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: kind of a j at the bottom, and that's where
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it connects with the rectum. And colon, by the way,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: is just another word for the large intestine. Um. There's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: different types of colon depending on what section you're talking about.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: But the point is, as it's going through this wild
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: ride in your large intestine, although the nutrients have been
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: removed now the water is being removed a lot of
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the liquid so that you don't get dehydrated every time
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you poop, and that makes your poop not dry, but
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: less moist than it would have been when it entered
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the large intestine. The point is this, when it gets
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to erectum and goes out of your anus, what you're
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: doing is pooping. And the whole point behind enemas as
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it stands, and they've been around for a really long time,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is the idea that maybe there's something stuck in there.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And if there's something stuck in there and it's gross,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: we should probably try to get rid of it and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: we'll probably be healthier as a result. Yeah, and I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: think even beyond stuck, I think some people like the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: idea of just cleaning the pipes out really really well,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Sure, I know what you're saying.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Like if they could get a one of those like
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: test tube brushes, you can't, yeah, like a pipe cleaner,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: but you can't. And so the enema has come along,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and and I think a lot of people still do
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it for that reason. They just like, maybe that's why
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: you were doing it, like let me clean myself out. Yeah, um,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I was doing it for the idea of like toxins
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: being removed that kind of stuff. Um, which is it?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: It dates back to John Harvey Kellogg but even further
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: as we'll see. But yeah, I think some people do
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: just want to be cleaner. And I saw that there's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a shower extension or attachment that is home and you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: can basically just give yourself an enema every day in
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the shower. Whether you should do that or not is
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: highly debatable, and if you asked the doctor, they'll say, no,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I don't even do it once, But some people do anyway. Interesting, uh,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: all right. So if you want to go back through history, um,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you it's one of the earliest sort of medical procedures
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that you could get. Uh. It is in ancient ancient
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: medical texts. Uh. We always talk about Pliny and Herodotus,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they both wrote about enemas. The Egyptians were using enemas. Uh.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: That was apparently a bird called the ibis that they
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: thought gave itself enemas with its beak, when in fact
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it was just expressing oil glands near the anus with
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: its beak. But they looked at this bird and said,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I guess, well, hey, if it's doing it, then maybe
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: we should do um. But a lot of times with
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the Egyptians it was sort of a post um. She's
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: almost said, postpartum, post die, post posthumous. Yeah, oh cheeze,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: its posthumous post. I was gonna cut all that out,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: but I should just own it, right, It's up to you. Now,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you're gonna own it. I was. I could not think
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of the word posthumous. It was something they did after
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you died. Yeah, they would put a bunch of cedar
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: oil up your poop shoot and let you, um, let
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: your inners just basically dissolve that way. But they were
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: also using it while they were alive, not using cedar
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: oil obviously because that would have been horrible, but um,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: using other stuff like typically water sometimes oils um to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: basically clean themselves out. Again, that's long been and still
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: is the basic idea of an enema for thousands of years.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: That's right. So as far as equipment goes, uh, you know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: over the years, it's definitely uh, things have come and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: gone and what was available to them. Uh. Syringes have
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: been around a lot longer than I thought actually before
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I researched this stuff. But depending on where you were
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and how much money you had, you might not have
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: access to something like a medical syringe. Um. But one
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: thing they would use is in certain parts of the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: world where bamboo tubes uh, and you would, you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: stick this up someone's butt and you would be very
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: careful not to inhale with your mouth on the tube,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and you would blow, uh blow in and you would
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: force liquid in through there. And this was something that
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they used. I think bellows came along because people actually
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: would occasionally inhale and that would lead to very poor results. Right, Yeah,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: because a lot of times you were getting animals for
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: things like colera, and if you accidentally like coughed and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: inhaled while you're what you're supposed to be blowing, you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: could inhale color infested stool and you were in big,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: big trouble. Or even if it wasn't colera infested, it's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: just a very poor day, it really is. And they
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: were like yeah, and like this is a it's a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: really basic idea, but over you know, the centuries, people
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: added things to it, like you said, the syringe. When
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it started to become more widespread. Um there was a
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Dutch physician named Rignier de Groff who in the six
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: hundreds realized that a lot of people could probably benefit from,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you know, an enema, but they were too modest or
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: embarrassed or something like that. So he really started to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: try to figure out how to make um enemas self administered,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: also to free the poor person who had to blow
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the water through the bamboo tube as well. It was
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: way better if you could just do it yourself without
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Sure, uh, you know things like
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: water bottles that used these days in certain applications. Back
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: then they would use like animal bladders and things like that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Because they again like you said they tried to make
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: it early on. I think even way back then they
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: were they said, this is probably something we should try
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and get people to do themselves, no matter what tools
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: they're using, Like, we gotta think of something to get
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: everyone else out of the room. So, just like everything else, Um,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: there was an age of the enema and this actually
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: happened during the the court of Louis fourteenth, who I
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: believe rain during the eighteenth century. Correct, Yeah, I mean
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I think it was yeah, like early sixteen thirties to
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: early seventeen hundreds. Okay, alright, correct, so I was half right.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So during this time, like it was, it was just
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: just as fashionable as as it could be to get
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: enemas self administered or otherwise. And being the king Louis
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the fourteenth was like, um, I don't have to administer
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: these myself. I'll have somebody administer them to me. And
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: also being the king, I will just I'll take visitors
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: during these sessions as well. Yes, and he loved these things.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Reports say that he had over two thousand enemas during
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: his reign. And uh, why this hasn't been like at
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: least a movie scene at some point I have no
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: idea where he's just kind of holding cord or taking
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a meeting while he's getting an enema. But um, you know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: high society, the Parisians, they would show off there. They
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: were called clister uh syringes, and they had several different ones,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: somewhere like mother of Pearl and very fancy, and they
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: would they would, you know, say, oh, look at mine,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I have several different you know, enema syrenches. And it
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: was just a thing people did a lot, yes, until
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the around the nineteenth century, and they started figuring out
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that that they could make laxatives and pillform and it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: was way easier, and they started prescribing those instead UM,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: and it fell out of favor until John Harvey Kellogg
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: came along and for much much greater detail in his
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: um experience with enemas. You could go listen to our
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: live Kellogg Brothers episode. But he he brought it back
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: with a bang, and since then, his ideas that you're
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: cleaning out toxins that otherwise will cause disease in you
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: is still just the premise of enemas outside of the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: medical setting. That's right. Uh. A another couple of things
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: that I know, I know one of them you mentioned
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and I couldn't remember, but I guess it was the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: drowning episode. Was they used to in England perform tobacco
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: smoke enemas to revive people after drowning or if you
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: lose consciousness, And I knew that sounded familiar. And then
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: when it hit on the drowning part that had to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: have been the episode. But they would blow tobacco smoke
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: up your butt with a rubber hose and will wake
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: you right up. I guess yeah. Well, actually I think
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: they found that it didn't actually work very much. Okay,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: so you want to take a break and come back
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and talk more about animals. Hey, let's stuck. I don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: know that you know it stuck and stuck. It's a
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: great name. That's the name of that. It's a great name. Alright,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: stuck within with an X. Right, So let's talk like
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the actual medical anima, right and how it actually works. Okay. Uh.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: The first thing you want to figure out is how
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: much liquid to put in um and it varies. There
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: can be situations where they're basically kind of flushing you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: in and out where there are gallons of liquid that
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: are used. Uh, sometimes you might get a CT scan
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: to actually determine a real volume to use, like how
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: much space do you have to hold this liquid? And uh,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: usually though it's about a leader or so roughly, Yeah, um,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I saw that the volume of the average coal in
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the large intestine is about one and a half leaders
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: to maybe three. I think you're on the side of down.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: But if you think about it, if you're using a leader,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: say two leaders, you're filling up your entire large intestine
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: with water. Lucky for you, there's that um ilo seql
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: ealv um that prevents backflow from going from the large
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: intestine back into the small intestine. Um. But that's actually
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: like a big, big risk with UM self administered or
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: non medical enemas or colonics is there's a concern that
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that could actually breach that and you would be in
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: big trouble because you'd be infecting yourself with stuff that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you shouldn't be infecting yourself with. Yeah, I mean, that's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: one good reason not to do it yourself exactly, So
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: you're gonna probably be on your side. There's a doctor
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: nurse who's going to be you know, administering it, and um,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: it's exactly what you think. They put a tube up
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: your butt. They put the water whatever it is, into
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: your anus, which goes up to your rectum and then
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: possibly into your um large intestine and while you're while
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: you're sitting there, you were overcome by the urge to poop.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And it's not just that you're full or distended um.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: It's that the liquid actually can trigger the mucosa lining
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the rectum to to poop. It's basically like, there's two
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: ways it's making you want to poop, and brother, do
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you want to poop? Right? So one is your full
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and the other is that mucosa is just start spasming
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: because it's triggered. Uh. And that's why I use apparently
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: why they use soapy water um or not always, but
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: there is such a thing as the soapy water enema,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and that soap is a lubricant which helps obviously for
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: obvious reasons, but it also can be extra irritating to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the colon and guess make you want to poop even more.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure there's people out there who presume that
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: soapy soap water enemas are used to clean you out
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: extra yeah, which is not the case, right, No, it's not.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It's just for making you your colon spasm right, so UM,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: while you're holding this, like sometimes you have to hold
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it because there might be a bunch of um like
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: impacted poop in there or something like that that they
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: want to kind of soften up over time, so they
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: may make you hold it for a while. You're going
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to cramp because you're not used to being this full.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: And also don't forget that you're your colon is spasming
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: wanting to poop, and you just have to hold it
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: for as long as you can and then finally you
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: get to poop it out and you go home and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: cry for a couple of days. So I guess we
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: should talk about some of the valid reasons before we
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: get to like the reasons why you probably shouldn't just
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: do one at home yourself to clean yourself out. Uh.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: There are plenty of valid medical reasons why you want
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to good with doctor or if you're in a hospital
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: or something to get an enema. UM One is if
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you have UH, and we're not talking about just your
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: garden variety constipation that happens to people. We're talking about
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: constipation that has not responded to any other treatments UM
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: or possibly if it gets so bad, something called fecal
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: impactation can happen, which is just really long term I mean,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: it's what you think, it's really long term constipation where
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: you're feces are just so hard and compact and dehydrated
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that it's probably not even possible to get him out
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: other than with an enema, right, Um. And that's where
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: you just sit there and hold it in for a
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: while and just kind of let it loosen up, probably
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: with like some warm water that's just breaking it up,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: maybe celine water too. Um you all right, Um, you
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: also want might want to do it, like you said,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: for you, if you're going to go get a colonoscopy,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: they might have given you an enema back in the day. Um,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: although I wonder how long they've been doing colonoscopes. At
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: some point, enemas and colonoscopes cross paths. But now since
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: they figured out they can give you like that that
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: magic drink that just makes you poop, poop, poop, they
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: don't really need to do enemas any longer. But I
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: think that was a that was a point at some time.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: They met in a bar one night. Yeah, we seem
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to have a lot in common. Yeah, I couldn't think
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to. That was great, Chuck, there it is,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: thank you. Um here's another reason before having a baby.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of times when when someone has a baby,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: they can they can poop, And for a long time
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: they said, well that's not a good idea because there
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: could be bacteria in the feces. This is called cause infections,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: so you get an enema before you have a baby.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: But since the early nineteen eighties that has UH kind
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: of gone the way of the dodo because there was
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: a paper meta study in n that found that it
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: did not reduce UH infection and it basically just added
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: another stressful procedure UH to you know, pre birth that
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't want people to go through. Yeah that yeah,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: you just why make it even even more stressful, you
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: know exactly. Um. Also, if there's something wrong with your colon,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: they might give you an enema of barium sulfate, which
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: um shows up as opaque on X ray. So if
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you have a colon full of barium sulfate, when the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: X ray you, they're going to be able to see
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: every nook and cranny of your and it really helps
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: quite a bit and you just get to poop out
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: some barium. It's the bonus of that one. Uh. This
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: one is something I'd never considered, but it makes a
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. Uh. If you have to have a
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: certain kind of medication, like for your colon, getting it
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: there that way maybe a really good idea. Because if
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: you think about it, if you take it, like maybe
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: if it's alterative colitis or something, uh, and you take
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: something orally like a steroid, you're gonna maybe metabolize a
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: lot of that on the way down, and your body
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: is also gonna have uh probably more of a risk
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: of side effects because it is being metabolized in your
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: whole body, Whereas if you just go right to the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: spot and get that steroid in there, it's sort of
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: a one stop shop. Yeah. And also if the steroids
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: just meant for the treatment of alterative colitis, say you
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: don't want to like move steroids across your entire body,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: which will happen if you get it through ivy or orally.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: This is like it's just super laser focused medication, which
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: is great, that's right. Um. And also that it's the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: same it's the same thing with suppositories too. Um. Sometimes
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: they'll use a suppository if you can't keep something down
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: or if they're trying to target that area because there's
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: so many um blood vessels in your anus and rectum,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I think particularly in your amus that um, they'll just
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: take that medicine and food shoot it right through that area. Uh.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: And this is where ed the Grabster points out he
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: helped us put this one together, is uh. He said,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: you'll notice that none of the medical reasons were you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: just to clean yourself out. Uh. That that is something
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that has you know, Uh, come on. I was about
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to say more recently, but Kellogg was doing it obviously
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: a long time ago. And so we're the Egyptians, so
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: never mind. There's also there was one other um reason
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: for it that I thought was pretty cool. If you
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: end up like Needing our Desert Survival episode one day
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and you're overheated, you show up at the hospital, they
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: might give you a cool water enema and that will
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: help reduce your core bo do you temperature real quick
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: inside out method. That's pretty cool. But that is awful,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: but I'll bet it's I'll bet afterwards you're like, that
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: was amazing. I can't believe that worked. But it didn't. Yeah,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: maybe so alright, chuck, how about our second break. We're
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: making it. Man, I haven't felt faint once yet. I
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: haven't either. Okay, good, Um, So we're gonna take a
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: break and come back and finish up enemies. Stuck. I
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: don't know that you know it. Stuck. It's a great name.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: That's the name of that. It's a great name. Alright,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: stuck within with an X. Alright. So it's been a
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: pretty wild ride so far. We described the process medically speaking. Uh.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Some of the liquids that you can use medically speaking,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: regular old tap water, UH, soapy water, which we talked about.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it will be saline water, uh, salt water enemas,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: different concentrations of salt. Depending on what you want to do,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: whether or not you want to draw water into the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: intestines or draw water out, you're gonna use different concentration
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: layer levels of salt. Makes sense. What else we mentioned
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: burying sulfite, but also oil, right, Yeah, I think if
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: you're if you've got the your poop is just not
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: coming out, um you, they might give you some sort
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: of oil to really kind of break it up a
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: little more. To kind of oil, I have a guess
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: mineral oil probably to right, that would be my guess. Okay,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: sure that makes sense. I think so too. So. Um,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: you talked about how there's reasons that some people would
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: want to be clean, Um, and there are times where
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you might want to be clean. There are sexual activities
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that you might want to be clearer for, and one
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: of them is anal sex. Right, that's right. You just
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: pass that right along pretty quickly, didn't you. Uh. Yeah,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Apparently in the porn industry, Uh, it is very common
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: practice if you have an anal sex scene on camera
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: to get really cleaned out beforehand. Never really thought about that,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: but apparently that's the thing I didn't either. I also saw,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: um that it's fairly common, at least according to Vice
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: magazine among bottoms in the gay community. UM, that they
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: will they'll basically give themselves animals before sex. And in
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this article, the whole premise of it was like essentially
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: that this doctor was saying, like, you don't need to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: do that, first of all, like most of like any
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: remnant poop that's in there. Like here's the other thing,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: this is why you shouldn't do this in the first place,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: no matter what the reason, outside of a medical setting,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: you don't need to because most people who's like works
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: are functioning properly, are expelling almost all of the poop
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that ever goes through their body. There's so little left
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: over um that this is really unnecessary. And then also
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: it's um with with anal sex in particular, you're rarely
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: reaching the rectum. It's almost all anus, and there's not
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: really any leftover poop in the anus. It would be
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: in the rectum. Yeah. Plus if you get that bidet,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: it's crossing over with all kinds of episodes. You're clean
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: up there anyway, exactly, You're yes, for sure. Uh. And
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: along these same lines, the sexual pleasure is another reason
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: somebody might uh want to do this, like and we're
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: not just talking about um anal sex. We're talking about
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: b D s M practices. Uh. It is the thing
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: in that community where some people might be into, uh
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like a humiliation fetish where you are forced to hold
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: in an enema as as part of control, or maybe
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: a medical fetish. And this happens in the b D
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: s M community. And that's another reason you might get
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: an enema. Yeah, and not it's like the dy animal.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: It's not prepared ring for a sex act. It is
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: in itself the sex act, right, that's right, part of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the sex act. So I was reading about that too. Yeah,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: and I saw it was like humiliation, like you had
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to ask permission to to go finally, Um, that that
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: was part of it. But I also saw, um, it
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: can also be treated as like a loving gift or
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: something like that. It just all depends on how it's approached. Basically,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: gotcha and that parents was the aforementioned section and now
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: it's over. Did we talk about anything kids can't know about? Well,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: it depends on how open minded you are and hold
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: your kids are. I think I was teasing, I know.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Uh so I talked a little bit about it being
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: a fad, but then I walked it back. But it
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: is a fad and it has been for a while now.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Um the notion like we've kind of harped on that. Um,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not super expensive. It's you can usually
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: get like an enemy kit for not a whole lot
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: of money, Like, it doesn't take a lot of high
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: priced equipment, and it's something that you can do in
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the private to your own home. And I think along
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: with like uh, fasting and juice cleanses, it's it's sort
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: of in that same category as as this stuff where
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: you're where you at least you're intending to clean toxins
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: out of your body. And plus also it has a
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: real goop vibe too, you know. And Gwyneth Paltrow's coup
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: not just well well said yes yeah, so um again
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: yes if you're if you're doing this and you're you're
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: fine medically, if you don't have digestive issues, um, then
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: there's no reason for you to do this. It's superfluous
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: and it can also be potentially dangerous. That's the point.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think like the doctors who are saying like,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: don't do this if you don't need any help with
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: your digestive tract are just trying to like, you know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: pooh pooh, anyone's fun. But um, what they're saying is
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: is like there's there's actual risks with this kind of
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: stuff that you could injure yourself and in some really
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: horrific ways. I think this is where the fainting for
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you really kind of stepped up. Yeah. Um, all right,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: well I guess we'll just start with uh perforations. Sure. Uh,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: if you are inserting something uh you know, into your anus,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: up into your rectum. There is a chance that you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: could perforate something. Uh. You could have one of those
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: nozzles go through the wall of the rectum. You can
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: make a even the tiniest hole in the wall of
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: your colon because of the pressure of that fluid um.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: None of this is a good thing at all. It
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: could lead to scepsis. Uh. It is all of a
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: sudden you have um things that aren't sterile where they
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be, and it's just not a good idea, right. Um.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: You can you can um infect your parietal peritonium, which
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: holds your abdomen or your abdominal organs in place and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't want any poop water in there at all. It
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: would be a bad jam. You can also even just
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: do more minor damage to where you just kind of
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: scrape it or dn't or something like that, and it's
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: not going to feel very good. And the reason why
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you're at risk of perforating or denting or scraping your
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: rectum is because it's not like a straight shot from
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: your anus up to your rectum up to your um
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: your large intestine. It's your anus goes one way and
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it starts to double back
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: and that's your rectum. So you really have to have
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: some finesse here, and if you go too far, you
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: can really be in some big trouble. Yeah. Absolutely, Um,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: we talked about drawing water out. That could obviously lead
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: to some pretty severe dehydration if you lose a significant
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: amount of water. Um sodium phosphate. Uh, if you use
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: an enemy that contains sodium phosphate, that can really lead
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to severe dehydration. And we're talking like you know where
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: your kidneys and your heart could be damaged. Yeah, because
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I mean we're talking electro lights here, so the electrical
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: conductivity of your heart depends on that kind of stuff.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So yes, if you have a heart condition, you should
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: probably not be doing animals, especially sailine animals for sure.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: But also even if it's not sailing, if you introduce
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: too much water into your body, you can suffer from
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: water toxicity, which is basically like the opposite of that
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: kind of imbalance of too much salt, you have too
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: little salt, and that can cause problems too. Yeah, and
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: aside from heart conditions and high blood pressure, which they
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: don't recommend you get self administer animals in those cases,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: if you have any kind of complications with your coals,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: your colon, uh, any kind of underlying condition there. You
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: don't want to be giving yourself anenema just to clean
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: yourself out. Okay, got it? You got anything else? I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: got nothing else. I feel like this is pretty short one.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: We spent through this one somehow. Well, I was gonna say,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: we have a few minutes I could share my experience
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, because you didn't really touch on any
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: of it. So if you go and get a colonic
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: um or colon, hydrotherapy is what it's often called. At
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: like a medspa, they often have them. They're not gonna
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: like administer an enema to you. They actually have a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: machine at that. All I owe is you to self
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: administer a continuous enema that they basically leave on for
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: about thirty minutes. And it's a really kind of weird
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: ingenious contraption. But essentially it's like a the the kind
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: of table that you would um give birth on, so
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: your legs are kind of spread apart, but then in
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the middle of the table is a hole with a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: tube coming up from it, and that tube is what
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you have to like lower yourself onto. That's where you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: put the umbrella this un umbrella that's right, and then
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: around the tube is where everything comes back out. Right,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: So UM in front of you is like a little
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: shower nozzle and it's invariably UM the cheap home depot
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: ten dollar like fake cut crystal plastic shower nozzle. You
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: know I'm talking about UM. So you turn it on
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: and and you're in control, so you control how much
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: is going in at any point in time because you
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: can feel it immediately start to fill up in your
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in your colon and your guts and UM. You'll probably
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: try to hold it as long as you can, and
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you might think that that's gonna be a minute or
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: ten minutes if you're really optimistic, but it ends up
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: being like eight to ten seconds the most you could
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: possibly hold it. For me, at least it was. And
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: then when it comes back out, it goes through that
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: tube or through that hole around the tube, through a
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: plastic tube that goes to the that takes it out
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: as waste of drains it away. And like I said,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: this contraption is really ingenious. They set a mirror up
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: so you can see it coming through the tube, so
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: you can see what's coming out of you and uh,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it's really something. They leave you in there for about
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: half an hour, and like I said, UM, you can
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: either walk away feeling like wow, I really feel like
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: a million bucks, which I still to this day don't understand.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: But it was not placebo effect because I'd had it
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: before and that hadn't happened. This wasn't like the first
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: time like it was, I don't understand what the mechanism
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: could have been. Um. And then other times you can
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: feel like really just just violated, is the only way
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: to put it. Like you violated yourself somehow. So it's
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: either walking on sunshine or a Smith's song pretty much. Wow.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: So is there a human in there with you? That's
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: what I didn't gather. The human um explains it to
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: you and then leaves and then runs and you see
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: a little dust cloud. Basically. Yeah. The only time that
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: the human will come back in while you're doing this
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: is when you haven't inserted the tube far enough into
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: your anus, because water starts spraying out and they'll they'll
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: you'll basically be like, I think something's wrong, and they'll
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: come in and really like you you don't have this
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: far enough up and you're like, no, I really do,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: I really do, And they're like, you don't. You have
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: to put it further up, and you have to put
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: it further up, and then once you get it up
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: there correctly, the water stop spraying out and you can
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: get down to business. One thing I didn't look up
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: was the coffee andema. Do you know what the deal
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: is with that? Is that just a variation of the liquid?
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: I yeah, as far as I know, I don't understand
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: what it's used for, but I know that, like, because
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: there's so many blood vessels there, you would be pretty
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: hyped up on caffeine if you use like fully caffeinated coffee.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Well that's probably the purpose, right, Well, yes, And then
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: we should also say tangential that people have used alcohol
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: in animals before, and that is potentially deadly, actually probably deadly,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: depending on what kind of alcohol you put in there
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: and how often you do it. Um, because you're just
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: absorbing alcohol way faster than you would if you would
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: drink it, so your blood alcohol M volume can get
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: really high, really fast, and you can give yourself alcohol poisoning.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So under no circumstances do that. Oh my lord, Yeah,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: what is wrong with people? I don't know. I have
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: nothing else. I'm just I'm in a feuge state. Okay,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: all right, I don't have anything else either. Um, well
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: that's it for animals. Everybody chucks in a feuge state,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: which means, of course it's time for listener mail. Uh.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: We got a couple of replies, and this is, um,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: in lieu of you your assertion that there would be
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: no cocaine in small town Michigan in the nineteen and nine.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: One person really schooled me. Yeah, I don't think this
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: was it. Uh, this is from a West Virginian. No,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: this is the guy. Really. Yeah, not in a hostile manner.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that it took me to school. I got you. Um,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: I thought you meant in a you know, get in
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: there and take your enema like a big boy way. Right.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I have to ask permission. Greetings from a long time
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: listener in West Virginia. I'm writing in regards to death
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: from astral Projection, where the autopsy report determined that Robert's
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: death was due to a cocaine overdose. Josh expressed skepticism
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: about cocaine being in Ann Arbor and seventy five because
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: of the high roller image. I can't speak to that directly,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, But I can tell
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: you that cocaine was absolutely in Morgantown. Is that Morganton
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: or Morgantowntown. It just sends like it'd be one of
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: these places. It says, no, it's Morgan. Well, I said
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: it was Morgantown, so that means, of course it's uh.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: And we sure have never been the epicenter of financial
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: markets or a hang out of the rich and famous.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: But I was a college sophomore then, and it was
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: in more than one room where it happened. A lot
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: of the illegal drugs that make it to Morganton Town
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: come from Detroit, and to this day, drug arrets here
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: often involved people from there. If cocaine made it to
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the m town home of West Virginia University in nine,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: it's pretty much a certainty that also made it to
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: ann Arbor. I love the podcast, of course, this is
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: anecdotal's still I love the podcast. I'm happy to have
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: a chance to write in and shed a little more
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: light on an interesting mystery. Should you read this on
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the podcast, please don't use my name. If my ninety
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: three year old mom got wind of this, she'd still
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: ground me. So that is from Jeffrey Charles. That's anonymous.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: That's great, Thanks Anonymous, that was a fantastic email. I
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: really feel like, yes, it is anecdotal, but they make
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: just about as good a point as you possibly could,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: so I rescind it. I still don't understand why this
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: this yogi would have suddenly gotten into cocaine. Agree with
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that when everybody in his life says no, including friends,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: not just his mom and his friends too. But but
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, this guy makes a pretty good point. It's possible.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: It's possible. If you want to get in touch with
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: us and let us know what's possible, we're always looking
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: for that kind of thing. You can send it in
