Latest / Armstrong & Getty One More Thing / Planet of the Beavers
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: One more sign that my prediction of a planet of
- 0:02Speaker 1: the beavers is accurate. It's one more thing, Jesus, I'm
- 0:07Speaker 1: strong and getty. One more tels you, geez my brilliant theories, Sarah.
- 0:13Speaker 2: Before you get to that, I mentioned this yesterday on
- 0:15Speaker 2: the air. I'm going to mention it here in case
- 0:16Speaker 2: anybody didn't hear. I thought this was fascinating. I was
- 0:18Speaker 2: listening to a physicists astra physicists something or other specialist
- 0:24Speaker 2: guy from a fancy college talking about a life on
- 0:29Speaker 2: other planets, and he made the point that we could
- 0:34Speaker 2: have had a successful civilization on planet Earth one hundred
- 0:39Speaker 2: million years ago that lasted thousands of years, that had
- 0:44Speaker 2: computers and cars and whatever else, and if it had
- 0:49Speaker 2: died out, there'd be no way of knowing there would
- 0:53Speaker 2: be nothing left in that amount of time. So we
- 0:56Speaker 2: can't even tell on our own planet whether or not
- 0:59Speaker 2: we've had you know, previous life and civilizations and whatever,
- 1:03Speaker 2: let alone on other planets.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure he's right. But we do find dinosaur
- 1:10Speaker 1: bones from you know, way back in the place to
- 1:15Speaker 1: see and you know, similar eras.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Yeah, only so far back though you can't go further
- 1:21Speaker 2: back than a certain amount and there's nothing right right, sure, yeah, yeah,
- 1:24Speaker 2: I'm not denying it.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I'm just kind of noodling it through. Yeah, that's such
- 1:28Speaker 1: an interesting thought. And then you go one hundred thousand
- 1:32Speaker 1: light years away and factor in that delay and or worth.
- 1:38Speaker 1: The theme is is there life elsewhere in the universe?
- 1:41Speaker 1: And would we come across it even if it was
- 1:44Speaker 1: teeming with life?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Right? So we could die out human species and then
- 1:48Speaker 2: there'd be the planet to be run by the beavers.
- 1:51Speaker 1: You're thinking the POB. Yeah, yeah, planet of the beavers.
- 1:55Speaker 1: We planet of the beaver's enthusiasts. We we just go
- 1:59Speaker 1: with POB generally at our meetings. So here's what I'm
- 2:03Speaker 1: talking about. Did not have this on my bingo car
- 2:07Speaker 1: to study out, Chewing on wood for five minutes may
- 2:09Speaker 1: improve your memory. According to study, chewing harder materials like
- 2:16Speaker 1: wood significantly incluses glue taffione levels in the brain could
- 2:21Speaker 1: be totally made up. I would never know glue tathyon.
- 2:24Speaker 1: They made that up as they were writing this crap.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Is there something in wood that I need for this?
- 2:29Speaker 2: It's got something to gonna do with wood? Or can
- 2:31Speaker 2: I chew on anything?
- 2:32Speaker 3: Rocks?
- 2:35Speaker 2: Rocks seems like a bad idea, but a plastic Could
- 2:38Speaker 2: I have a pain in my mouth I'm chewing on
- 2:40Speaker 2: instead of a pencil? Is it the chewing or is
- 2:44Speaker 2: it the wood?
- 2:45Speaker 1: It's yes, it is the chewing indeed, and not the
- 2:49Speaker 1: wood per se. You're not ingesting it. I was going
- 2:53Speaker 1: to you know what, I'll go ahead and skip to
- 2:55Speaker 1: it now because it's too good, the inevitable.
- 3:00Speaker 3: Let's see uh.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Whereas as disclaimer, talk to your doctor first before heading
- 3:07Speaker 1: out to the store for a package of tongue depressors
- 3:10Speaker 1: to chew on, and be sure to ask about the
- 3:12Speaker 1: potential risks involved, especially if you have sensitive teeth or
- 3:15Speaker 1: other oral hygiene issues. And we'd suggest to be fully
- 3:18Speaker 1: aware of pieces of wood breaking off in your mouth.
- 3:21Speaker 1: The last thing anyone wants is a splinter in their throat.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Thank you for that.
- 3:26Speaker 3: If you have to be told that.
- 3:30Speaker 1: You got a mouth full of paste right now and
- 3:34Speaker 1: you're picking your nose, second digit, second knuckle deep.
- 3:38Speaker 2: You're watching old VHS tapes of Mari Polvich right.
- 3:44Speaker 1: That you tape for posterity in case you know they disappeared. No,
- 3:48Speaker 1: if you have to read that, you're not reading that
- 3:51Speaker 1: and never will.
- 3:54Speaker 3: That's the irony here. Anyway.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Chewing harder materials like wood significantly incluses the blutethione levels
- 4:01Speaker 1: in the brain. All softer materials like gum showed no
- 4:04Speaker 1: significant effect.
- 4:05Speaker 2: Wow, harm doesn't work. Okay, that's interesting, right, Hey, Michael,
- 4:09Speaker 2: I know we used to have clips as somebody was
- 4:11Speaker 2: chewing rocks. Remember that bit we did that. There was
- 4:13Speaker 2: some news story years ago somebody who had chewed rocks
- 4:19Speaker 2: and we had them talking about it. It was ruining
- 4:22Speaker 2: their teeth, but they couldn't.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Stop it relaxed them, Katie.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Yes, Yeah, I was trying to make up funny and
- 4:30Speaker 4: now we know, I know people are actually doing that.
- 4:32Speaker 1: So there is practically no brand of crazy that you
- 4:36Speaker 1: can invent that can't be matched to an actual human being.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Fall in love with the Volkswagen Ben done.
- 4:43Speaker 1: I can only get horned up if I'm chewing rocks.
- 4:48Speaker 3: There's somebody out there.
- 4:49Speaker 4: There's anyways, a show called Obsessed, and I remember a
- 4:52Speaker 4: woman and she she couldn't stop eating toilet paper.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Oh legs, shout down.
- 4:57Speaker 4: It's actually had a roll of it in her purse
- 4:59Speaker 4: and would just snack away. Anyway, that's my conversation.
- 5:06Speaker 1: So did she have to cleanse herself after pooing or
- 5:11Speaker 1: did it take care of itself.
- 5:12Speaker 4: It's like a self filtration thing.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Right exactly. Yeah, wow, self washing. So a higher brain
- 5:20Speaker 1: GGS H levels. This is the hormone I guess that
- 5:24Speaker 1: we've never heard of before from wood chewing were directly
- 5:26Speaker 1: correlated with better memory performance and healthy young adults. Incorporating
- 5:31Speaker 1: foods that require more vigorous chewing might be a simple
- 5:33Speaker 1: way to boost brain antioxidant defenses and potentially support cognitive health.
- 5:38Speaker 1: That's interesting because I have a jaw clenching thing, especially
- 5:43Speaker 1: when I sleep. You two, Katie, yep, I got to
- 5:47Speaker 1: wear this mouthpiece thing e or I would grind my
- 5:49Speaker 1: teeth down to nubs.
- 5:50Speaker 5: Yeah, that's my wife.
- 5:52Speaker 2: We have to get her a garden.
- 5:54Speaker 4: I've had a guard since I was in high school.
- 5:56Speaker 4: And you know, my grandfather did it, my dad does it,
- 5:59Speaker 4: and I do it.
- 6:00Speaker 2: I never I didn't do it in sleep, but I
- 6:02Speaker 2: had a period of time where I was doing it
- 6:03Speaker 2: during the day, clinched in my jaw and got the
- 6:06Speaker 2: worst headaches so I've ever had in my life. Because
- 6:09Speaker 2: there's some vein or nerve or something it pinches when
- 6:12Speaker 2: you do that. Anyway, For me, it was just like
- 6:15Speaker 2: once I became aware of it, I like, through the day,
- 6:18Speaker 2: I keep my teeth apart a little bit always, so
- 6:21Speaker 2: I'm not clenching.
- 6:21Speaker 3: I let my mouth hang over like that.
- 6:23Speaker 2: I got a couple of mouth breathers over here.
- 6:28Speaker 3: You know.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Ever since I was like seventeen years old, my best
- 6:31Speaker 1: shape in my life skinny. My girlfriend called me chubby cheeks.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I have like enormous jaw muscles, and it's it's not fat.
- 6:38Speaker 1: I mean, Lord knows, I'm not thin anymore, but I could, like,
- 6:41Speaker 1: I don't know, what do you need chewed?
- 6:43Speaker 3: If my teeth.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Being destructive, does you clench your whole A seven forty seven?
- 6:48Speaker 3: Well yeah, think about it.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I work out every night for seven hours, so it's
- 6:52Speaker 1: like you're doing queezing my jaw.
- 6:55Speaker 2: It's like you're doing head crunches all day long.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Especially, yes, if I did curls and I sleep, I'd
- 7:00Speaker 1: have massive bsex.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be cool? He did curls?
- 7:07Speaker 3: So this is.
- 7:09Speaker 2: What do you need chewed? I mean, I'll chew the
- 7:14Speaker 2: f out of it all right. Next time we're out
- 7:16Speaker 2: to eat and I get a little piece of steak.
- 7:17Speaker 2: It's a little tough. Could you chew this?
- 7:20Speaker 3: Give it here? Give it here, I'll take care of it. Hey,
- 7:22Speaker 3: your baby bird.
- 7:24Speaker 5: You should offer your services to people exactly so this one,
- 7:29Speaker 5: this starts so interesting.
- 7:31Speaker 1: It's South Korean's doing this SYS study. Your brain and
- 7:34Speaker 1: jaw might have a closer relationship than you think. Well,
- 7:37Speaker 1: I've never thought about it for a single second. Uh,
- 7:39Speaker 1: while we've long suspected that chewing affects brain function. Wait
- 7:43Speaker 1: a minute, who suspected that this is completely new to me?
- 7:47Speaker 2: New researches in cover South Koreans. First of all, won't
- 7:50Speaker 2: you have some sex, get married, have a kid? You know,
- 7:53Speaker 2: quit quit offing yourself because you did well poorly on
- 7:56Speaker 2: some uh some exam. Find a cute girl. We get
- 8:00Speaker 2: to smooch in and be happy, you know, land for
- 8:03Speaker 2: a train because you didn't get a perfect on your SAT.
- 8:06Speaker 1: And this.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Nobody else is thinking about chewing to be smarter.
- 8:14Speaker 1: Yeah, chewing on hard materials for just five minutes can
- 8:17Speaker 1: boost levels of glue tatty in the brain's primary antioxidant
- 8:21Speaker 1: defense system.
- 8:22Speaker 3: That's really interesting.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I always think everything's evolutionary in some way. I
- 8:30Speaker 2: just wonder if we had to work so much harder
- 8:31Speaker 2: to chew up food back in the day, and and
- 8:37Speaker 2: you know it was something we needed exercise wise or whatever.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Yeah, they go into some brain chemistry that's probably a
- 8:45Speaker 1: little in the weeds, But our brains are particularly vulnerable
- 8:50Speaker 1: to oxidative damage. The human brain consumes proximately twenty percent
- 8:54Speaker 1: of the body's total oxygen while containing high levels of
- 8:57Speaker 1: fatty acids, they can easily be damaged. More Over, the
- 8:59Speaker 1: brain emulates metals like iron, copper, and zinc that can
- 9:02Speaker 1: promote the formation of harmful reactive oxygen species. Boys, talk
- 9:07Speaker 1: about something I know nothing about and against this backdrop
- 9:11Speaker 1: glue taffy one services the brain's primary defense system.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Jack, So should I get a container of Lincoln logs?
- 9:18Speaker 1: And the studies are preliminary, Jack, But yes, yes, clearly, yes,
- 9:23Speaker 1: so chew them up, no matter what damage it does
- 9:26Speaker 1: to your teeth or how many splinters you get in
- 9:27Speaker 1: your throat.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Oh no, no, waight, I just saw this disclaimer. You're
- 9:30Speaker 2: supposed to stop if you get slivers in your throat.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Oh got many.
- 9:36Speaker 1: But when GSH levels fall, brain cells become more vulnerable
- 9:40Speaker 1: to oxidative stretch, which has been linked to everything from
- 9:43Speaker 1: normal aging to serious conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Don't I
- 9:48Speaker 1: don't know where to go with.
- 9:49Speaker 2: What's your mouth specie? Where at night look like? Is
- 9:52Speaker 2: it like like football.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Players where it's like I'm playing a hockey game? And
- 9:55Speaker 1: do you have trouble sleeping in it?
- 9:57Speaker 3: Oh? Not in the least.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Now I do every now and then, yeah, is yours?
- 10:04Speaker 1: You know?
- 10:05Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Actually I just geteeth.
- 10:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I need to get a new one
- 10:10Speaker 4: made because I had braces and then I didn't wear
- 10:12Speaker 4: my retainner and then my teeth moved and all sorts
- 10:14Speaker 4: of stuff.
- 10:15Speaker 2: So do you uh, does it ever come out while
- 10:17Speaker 2: you're asleep? You wake up in the middle of the
- 10:19Speaker 2: night and it's laying there next year.
- 10:21Speaker 3: No, it fits too well.
- 10:24Speaker 4: I've taken it out, but now it doesn't just come out.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny. It doesn't bother me in the least.
- 10:28Speaker 2: My it's funny. My my son is supposed to be
- 10:32Speaker 2: wearing something similar to that to see if he can
- 10:34Speaker 2: handle have having braces because he's got some jacked up teeth.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Unfortunately I had I've never had braces I had straight teeth,
- 10:45Speaker 2: and my other son has straight teeth. But my youngest
- 10:49Speaker 2: his teeth are pretty crooked. But with all his O
- 10:51Speaker 2: C D stuff, he just I don't think he could
- 10:53Speaker 2: handle having something in his mouth messing to just to
- 10:57Speaker 2: just and so I had him make a thing that
- 10:59Speaker 2: he could where to see if he could tolerate having braces,
- 11:02Speaker 2: and I don't think he can. So I think I
- 11:03Speaker 2: think he's just gonna have to have crooked.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Or that in vezzoline stuff.
- 11:07Speaker 1: The that they're actually more poky, Well.
- 11:11Speaker 2: I didn't know that.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Yeah, huh so uh to uh to to give you
- 11:18Speaker 1: a takeaway instead of.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Chewing on wood.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Uh. Maybe wiser to consider the potential benefits from incorporating
- 11:26Speaker 1: more texturally challenging texturally challenging foods into our diets. Think
- 11:31Speaker 1: crunchy vegetables, nuts, tough hohole grains, and fibrous proteins. Your
- 11:37Speaker 1: your tough steak. Start start buying the crappy steak at
- 11:40Speaker 1: the grocery.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Good idea. I'll tell the kids it increases your brain function.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Steak on this. Just give mu strap a leather? Would
- 11:50Speaker 3: that work?
- 11:50Speaker 2: Steak was a dollar and a half. It's good for you.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Cat steaks dog speaking of Oh I remember we're talking
- 11:59Speaker 1: an Asian stuff.
- 12:02Speaker 3: It's just a fact.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Wow.
- 12:04Speaker 2: You took it there, Joe, Yeah, thank you.
- 12:06Speaker 1: I'm a scientist. I'm not gonna let ideology blind my
- 12:11Speaker 1: inquiry into science.
- 12:13Speaker 2: When you first started this, I was wondering, has this
- 12:15Speaker 2: got anything to do with I used to crunch on
- 12:16Speaker 2: my pencil quite a bit in school.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'll bet it's related.
- 12:22Speaker 2: If my brain was like picked up on you know,
- 12:24Speaker 2: you're doing a math test, you get your pencil in
- 12:25Speaker 2: your mouth, you're chewing on it. It helps the brain function.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I would chew the crap out of pens.
- 12:31Speaker 4: Everybody, anybody ever asked you to borrow a pen and
- 12:33Speaker 4: then they get it and they're like, oh.
- 12:34Speaker 2: God, yes, all right. Here it is.
- 12:41Speaker 5: After Joe's done with his radio career, he goes around
- 12:44Speaker 5: this around the country. Is a state far attraction known
- 12:47Speaker 5: as mister Chew. And we put him in front of
- 12:49Speaker 5: a table and we put solid objects on the table
- 12:52Speaker 5: and see you, so he.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Can chew and how fast mister chew?
- 12:57Speaker 3: Yeah, mister chew. Yeah. I like it.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Well, I guess that's it.
