Your Dick Is Getting Smaller & It's the Plastic | Under the Docs Review · Under the Docs

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's funny hearing this lady this like eighty year old
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: lady telling you like, oh yeah, this this is the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: size of the grendle, Like she uses the word grendle
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and taint and gooch and stuff.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Under the Dogs, Yeah.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Under the Dogs, very radular. Looks funny. Could they rise
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: the shots? They the dogs?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Under the dogs, under the dukes. Yeah, under the Dogs,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Under the Dogs.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Oh it made you drifted under the docks with Paranoid
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: American and Uncle Sean charting through treacherous ways at documentaries
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: to let you know do they sink or swim?
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: Got a docu one reviewed?
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Hit us up at under thedocks dot com, Paranoid American
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: dot com or kill themockingbirds dot com and don't forget
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: to like subscribe and share, share the show.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And after this episode you're not going to know what
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you're allowed to eat anymore, because recently we did one
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: on food supply and like USDA and FDA and basically
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: how no food is safe and you're eventually.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: Gonna get sick from some of it and there's nothing
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: you can do about it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And now we're going to talk about the plastic detox,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: which is a twenty twenty six documentary from Netflix, which
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: talks about how there is so much microplastics going into
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: your body that you're never going to be able to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: have a kid and your Dick's gonna shrink plot in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the course. So this one directed by Josh Murphy, Louis
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Silahos and written by Mark Monroe, and it largely follows
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this premise of microplastics and the rise of the use
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of petrochemical based microplastics from like the nineteen thirties all
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the way up until today, and that essentially they focus
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: on six couples that have unexplained fertility issues they're all
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: trying to conceive, and that becomes the vehicle for all
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the other points that we kind of make. So they
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: set up this quasi non scientific situation where the six
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: couples trying to eliminate all the plastic from their lives
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: like cleaning supplies and food supplies everything. And if they
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: can eliminate plastic, will that have any sort of marked effect?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: And I guess spoiler alert is that this is based
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: on research that's already been done, that was already shown
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to have some correlations. So you get to see it
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: play out, and yeah, microplastics are bad for you, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: shocked Pikachu vase.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: And I will say this reminded me.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I do like why they did right away say about
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: the oil and petroleum like kind of like throw that
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: out there, which I thought they I wasn't sure where
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: they were going to go on it because I'm like,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: but then I was like, maybe you know that kind
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: of leans into the green stuff as well, kind of
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: like an attack at big oil. Not like they don't
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: deserve it, but they didn't mention a lot of the
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: other I think sometimes I nitpicked because then you're like,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: you know some information and you're like, well you didn't
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: say this part, bro, like and you have like hundreds
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: of people.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Helping you work on this film.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: But now that it made me not able to eat
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: anything from the Poison film, and now I can't eat
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: anything even more from this microplastic, And then I'm like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: well what do I do about it? It started giving
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: me the feel of Poison mixed with Christmas without China,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: where I'm like, oh, can I get rid of plastic
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: and all the Chinese things in my home?
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Probably not.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: It's a new game show starts this Friday, and I
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: do not think I can win it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and this one too, they do a really
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: good job of it's not just about food, it's everything
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: and that, and it's also not just plastic itself. So
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: early on they mentioned that we've had plastic for over
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: one hundred years, but a lot of plastic came from
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: plants and that there were natural ways to extract it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and then form plastics. But then once the oil industry
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: started popping off, they have all this petroleum, and it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: was just a nice convenient, you know, benefit that you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: can convert petrochemicals from the petroleum into all these different
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: types of plastic. And with my conspiracy hat on, it's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: just like, oh, you mean we can sell the toxic
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: waste instead of being fined to like properly dispose of it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: If we dispose of it by turning into toys and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: shoes and wigs or whatever or like you know, hand
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: soap somehow, then now all of a sudden, you don't
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: have to worry about toxic waste disposal and being looked
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: at as a bad guy. It's like, hey, look all
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: these new products we can offer. So it's win win
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for the oil company for this to take place, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the documentary mentions that there's a different like it's not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: all plastics, it's like these petro chemical based plastics, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it's not necessarily just the plastic itself, Like that wouldn't
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: be as bad as the fact that all these extra
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: chemicals that are highly toxic get merged with the plastic. Like,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: if you want it to be the color blue, well,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: now it's going to have to add these other chemicals.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Oh you want it to be shaped in a certain
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: way and not be too hard or too soft, Well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: now you're going to have these other things added to it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And they start showing that even if plastics regulated, not
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: every chemical added to the plastics regulated, and even if
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: some of those are, it's only like nine versus Europe's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: got like eleven thousand on the books, and not that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: necessarily more government intervention means safer. But it just goes
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to show you that there's essentially this battle that can
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: never be won because every single day, one hundred new
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: compounds that can be made out of petrochemicals are being discovered,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and there's not enough people on the planet that are
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: scientists to be able to like, all, right, now, let's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: research this for five years and make sure that this
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: isn't toxic. So so many things make their way through
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and it's really all that extra leeching of chemicals in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the plastic. And it already sound like Greta Thoomberg, I
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: can tell.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm gonna beat the drum a little bit
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: harder too, because yeah, I don't believe in some of
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: the things that they push out the narratives. But I'm like,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: one thing I have for a long time and I
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: haven't swayed from is plastics. Not that I'm like, oh
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I'm plastic free. Like there's a lot of plastic that
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: I use, but it's always bugged me, and I try
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: my best to not use plastic, Like I don't like
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: plastic tupp of we're not even just the fact of
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: the microplastics, but I just think your food doesn't stay
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: as fresh.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: It there's a reason right there.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: There was a moment in time when all beverages that
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: came from the grocery store were in glass bottles. But
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: it's more convenient and cheaper to use plastic. And I've
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: known for a long time that as you travel through
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: the country where you have bottles of water and bottles
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: of pop and all these different beverages that when they're
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: on this trailer, like they're getting hot exposure to sun,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: high temperatures that the plastic slightly you know, is melting
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: a little bit and getting into this waters and these containers.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: And we've had a hemp I mean, I smoke. So
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: I've always been.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: Like, you know, hemp bro it can be used for
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: so many things.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: But it is true, it's been a biodegradable plastic for
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: a long time that has not been focused on.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: One thing I thought this film pointed out. They start
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: going on to as they're telling you the problem, They're like, hey, look,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: petro is everywhere and plastics are everywhere on everything you
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: think of, what are we gonna do? And I thought
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: they not only doing the experiment, but side piece of it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: When they talk to the one chemist that like his son,
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: he's now saying in instead.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Of just changing the plastic, like oh, don't use plastic,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: he's like, we have to change the science. He's like,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: we have to train people to think this way, to
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: think of chemistry differently. And I think that is like
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: one of the part of the film that really got
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: me kind of hooked in more is where they're like,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: we need to build this industry, right, like it's not
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: going to build itself. And people don't know because they've
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: been trained this whole time, like, well, this is how
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: I think in chemistry.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And they do a good job of pointing out how
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of all the additives added to plastics, which each kind
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of make like a new compound, right because they all
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: combine in different ways and they all maybe like leach
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: different chemicals out in different ways, that it's something like optimistically,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: only twenty percent of all of those that have been
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: created have even been tested whether or not they're regulated.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Only twenty percent have actually been looked at and scrutinize
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of like what's the effect of this on humans and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the environment, And now the other eighty percent has just
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: been untested and they're just so many of them that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they're out and they're ubiquitous. And I guess part of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: my thing is I guess plastic is so ubiquitous that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it's in everything that it's the same feeling of, well,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: the government, you know, if it were that, if plastic
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: were that bad, and if it were you know, causing
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: all these medical issues, then clearly out of all the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: advocacy groups that we've got and all the regulation committees,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: there have to be someone that was like, hey, look,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: here's an obvious study that shows and the problem is
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that no one is doing those studies because no one's
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: probably funding those studies because they're too busy making new
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: types of plastic and sense and dyes and you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: synthetic materials that there would be no reason for you
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to do that study because no one wants to fund it,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and then you'd probably just be suicided anyways by the government.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: So that they also make a good point of how
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: maybe futile this seems. So they go through of like
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: exactly what are plastics in and do the list is
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: just like okay, so there's just no way that we're
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: getting out of this. They mentioned all cleaning products, sponges, brushes, shampoo,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: hand soap. One of the things that stood out to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: me is they say the products that people put in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: their hair, like conditioner that make your hair like silky
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: smooth and more flexible, that what it's really doing is
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: it's coating it in a silky smooth, soft and flexible
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: plastic and that's what makes the hair feel like it's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: silky smooth, it's that you're just coating it in plastic,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: which is like flexible, so like your hair's not being improved,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you're just putting plastic in your hair. If you're a baby,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you're totally screwed. They show a baby like crawling on
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the carpet that's made out of plastic, the entire baby's room,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: all the toys, stuffed animals, sippy cups, storage containers, the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: little device is the mobile, like fake plants in the room.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: All of this one hundred percent plastic.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: They show tea bags made out of plastic, cutting or
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it's coffee makers, the coffee pods that go in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: coffee makers, popcorn bags are lined with plastic on the inside,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the spatulas you use, the ziploc bags you store everything,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and like it doesn't end. And they're like, okay, well,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: let's say you fixed everything in your baby's room and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: your cleaning supplies and in your kitchen. Seventy percent of
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: all clothing is going to be plastic by the end
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: of this decade. So within the next three and a
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: half years, every single item of clothing, seventy percent of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: them will be made out of plastic. All hairspray, hair
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: care sense. I didn't even realize that perfumes and scents
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: were made out of petrochemical plastics, and that this one
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: really kind of threw me for a loop where they're like,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: all right, here's the way that we measure microplastics. When
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: someone's like microplastic, I guess I'm just like a bumpkin.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I imagine there's like a tiny little beat of plastic
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: like floating in your balls somewhere right or like there
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it is, there's the microplastic. But they're saying is take
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: a drop of water and imagine that in this drop
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of water. A lot of the time you measure parts
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: per billion, So in a drop of water, for every
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: billion particles of water or every billion you know, h two, oh,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: then you're gonna have one part of this other thing.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So the one part of a microplastic, a chemical that
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: comes from microplastics in a drop load of water, actually
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is two point sixty five trillion molecules of it. Like
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: that part equates to almost three trillion molecules. And it
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: would only take one single out of those three trillion
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to do some irreparable damage. Because your body can misinterpret
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: some of these weird toxins that leak into your system.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: They treat them like hormones and they're like, up, this
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: hormone's telling me to do this certain message. And now
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your body's acting in a way
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't meant to act because of this chemical.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: That made its way into your system.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: So I mean, how do you prevent one part per
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: billion in a drop load of water that has three
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: trillion mollleelsles And that's just one drop water, Like if
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I drank this entire thing, and I'm pretty sure like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: my ice makers got plastic in it and it falls
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: into a plastic tray, you know what I mean, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the outside of the refrigerators made out of plastic, and
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: like there's just no way to get away from it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: So you're guarantee. And this is how you get microplastics
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in your balls, essentially.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: And this is what threw me off because I went
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: to the grocery store after watching this, and we watch poison,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: So I look at chicken in plastic and I'm like,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: this is the this is the nuke of the grocery
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: store right here.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: This is just.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Covered in microplastics and you can't get away from it
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: because as they're going through this list, I'm like, well
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I use that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Use that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well, what are the alternatives? Like, you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: like what do I do? Like I'm like, I don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: know how to.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Get rid of this. It's like so much plastic everywhere.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: And then you know you have the power plants because
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I've known for a long time, like there's like I've
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: heard the saying of like you know, you swallow a
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: credit card size of microplastics a year on average. They
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: say that's what humans do, and then not to mention
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: the people that they meant they started going this way
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: in the film as well as the people that live
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: by these plants that are not only is it everywhere,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: like in the food, in your dishes, in your clothes,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: in your perfumes, your toothpaste, your deodorant.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Also you may live too close to the plants.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: And then you're even more screwed because you have all
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: the stuff in your house that's made out of plastic.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Plus you have the facility that is just like burning
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: plasticateing's going straight to your house.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: They and so they do a decent job of here's
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: how you can combat some of this stuff. And again
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the vehicle that they use to drive this documentary forward.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Are these six couples that are infertile they're trying to conceive.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: So they start out, they give them all this information.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You can see them freaking out too, because everything that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: they're listing, they're actually showing like these people's house and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: they're highlighting it's like, oh, they're gonna have to throw
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: out everything in this house essentially. So here's what the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: tips are. They say, avoid food and beverage that come
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in plastic packaging.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: And you already made a great point.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Let's say that you want right now today, Let's say
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you wanted to go and grab a chicken breast or
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a chicken thigh or whatever, and some form of raw
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: chicken that you're going to cook on your own.
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: Where do you buy that?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Where it's coming in glass or it's coming wrapped up
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in one hundred percent cotton, right, it's coming in styrofoam
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and wrapped in plastic, or it's going to come in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a like wrapped plastic sealed bag or something like plastic
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is going to be where you're getting your chicken or
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: your beef from.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: Right, they don't know.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can find it in a can somewhere, Well,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: guess what inside of that can line with plastic. So
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: there's some things here where you have to raise a
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: chicken and kill the chicken with a you know, only
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: bamboo cutting board and knives, and like, you can't ever
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: use plastic. So there's some things that you just can't do.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So they make a concession where you're not gonna avoid
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: all food completely, but you can limit if you go
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: out to eat. I mean, maybe you get a sandwich
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: that's wrapped in a piece of paper and then say
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I don't want the plastic bag. If they ask you
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: what to check out, maybe you get with the paper
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: bags or whatever. You just actively avoid plastic where you
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: can it's convenient. Avoid all fragrances and perfumes completely, deodorant
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: if it's in your washing liquid for either your washing
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: machine for the dishes, washing machine for the clothes, like,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: don't use any fragrance whatsoever. Use only natural personal care products.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Like one of the examples they show is a like
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: coconut toothpaste capsules where you're not using Colgate anymore that
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: comes in the plastic tube. Right, Avoid textiles and petrochemical dyes.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: So basically linen and cotton only, no polyester, maybe silk,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I guess, But then it can't also have colors. And
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: then they show you, well, there's some companies that instead
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of using a purple dye that comes from petroleum, they
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: get it from Elderberry.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I looked it up that the sweatshirt, it was
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a limited edition. They only made a hundred of them,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and they cost like three hundred and fifty dollars apiece.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: And this wasn't like a high you know, like like
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: a high fashioned sweatshirt. This was just a white sweatshirt
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: that had been dyed with Elderberry juice. So it's not
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: tenable to actually do this in any kind of long term.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And then the other big one they gave was do
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: not handle receipts. So if someone tries to give you
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: a printed receipt, just be like, yeah, throw that out
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: for me, because the dyes and the coating on those
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: that allow them to work, it's all made of these
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: microplastics to just easily rub off on you when you're
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: inhaling them and touching them all the time.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I kind of thought of a different I said, if
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: they hand me a receipt, shoot them in the face, right,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: like they're trying.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: To kill me.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: They're actively trying to threaten me with death with my microplastics.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah you can. I actually liked the film and respect
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: it at this aspect where they weren't like, yeah, you
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: need to get rid of all, like you're like, okay,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: you can't, right, They kind of at first year the
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: hell out of you and go everything's plastic.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: You're doomed. Like I'm watching them like, oh well, we're
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: just screwed. Oh well, like what can I do?
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: The list that they give is pretty succinct too, so
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, here's the main things that you can do.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Replace plastic containers with glass containers. Replace all of your
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: plastic utensils with wood spatulas instead of the silicon like
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the plastic ones. Whenever you shop for something, look for
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: containers that are made out of metal, glass, ceramics, and bamboo.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Those are pretty much the only options you got. And
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: then they're even showing like, uh, this is gets crazy.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: So if you go down the rabbit hole of you
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: know what, I am going to limit my exposure to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: plastics toothbrush, bro, you're literally taking little tiny micro plastic
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: fibers and just rubbing them in your mouth NonStop and
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you're of course little bristles are breaking off and everything.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: So one of the obvious ones was you replace your
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush. A lot of it
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: becomes like boo everything. So I mean, they give you solutions,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and they even show here's the couple we threw out
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: all their other stuff. But then they give them like
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: a care package where here's you know, bamboo extracts and
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: bamboo toothbrush and glass containers. So they show you you
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: could do this. You could go out in an afternoon
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: and essentially limit how much exposure you're getting too plastics.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: It's funny you say the bamboo toothbrushes, because before we
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: even did this film, I would say six months to
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: a year ago, Like I've been looking into that because
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I saw it. You know, I was just going through
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: TikTok rabbit holes and I saw one where they're like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: you're you got thousands of microplastics from brushing your teeth.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Then I'm looking for a bamboo toothbrush, and as you're
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: reading it, they're like, yeah, this one's kind of still
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: made out of plastics. So like it's also some of
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: the parts that's harder is that you're like, well, I
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: don't know exactly where to go, right, Like obviously in
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: this film they may have showed them.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: I also did it like a dive of.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Like, Okay, what if you wanted to get everything like
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: as much as possible, as far as like dish so
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: cleaning supplies, you know, your bath essentials, like where could
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: you go? And you're looking at a lot of it,
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, what if you could resell
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: some of this stuff? Right, I'm thinking in my head
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, then if you wanted to market it,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: you can market it, but you wouldn't want to.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: Use any plastics in shipping.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: And when I'm looking on like I went to chat
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: GBT and I'm like, oh, there's need some supplies that
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I can and they're like, well, you might have to
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: use some plastic to ship it. And then so that's
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: like part of like there's this snag, right, like when
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: you try to become one hundred percent plastic free, it's
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: so incorporated in our lives that it's like, well, you
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: can get maybe eighty five to ninety percent max, but
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: you're going to have this ten percent that you're probably
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: not going to get rid of.
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: And not to blockpill you.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: And by the way, most time release capsules that you
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: take like drugs, are coded in plastic. That's how the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: time release works. So like even the black pill itself
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: is going to kill you with microplastics, but like not
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the completely black pillot But whenever they're showing about, okay,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: limit your use on plastics, and then they show you
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the trajectory of like here's where plastics from petrochemicals were discovered,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and here's how much we had in you know, use
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: in common day, and it goes like thirties, fifties, nineties,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: twenty twenties. But like we're at the very foot of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: this thing, like it's gonna just skyrocket out into the universe.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So even if you at an independent level are gonna
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: start limiting how much plastic you interact with the rest
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: of the world as a whole. Hasn't even gotten started yet,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Like they haven't, like they haven't even warmed up the
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: engine to go and take it out on the highway yet.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Like that's how early are we are into our use
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: of plastics. So part of them this is my own
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: black pill. The documentary does a good job of like
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: not stating how futile it might be, but like whenever
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you see the chart, it's like, wait a minute, did
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: you see the right side of that chart where it
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: was just going like straight up like a vertical line,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And they kind of hint at it with, you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: seventy percent of all textiles by the end of twenty thirty.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, did how come you didn't shows twenty
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: fifty because it's going to be like ninety nine percent.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: And that's that was kind of like the scary part
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: of this. So the rest of the vehicle of this
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: infertile couples. Let me say this is all based on
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the research of this lady, doctor SHAWNA Swan, and that
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: she's been doing this particular research since I think like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: the eighties of the nineties, Like she was on all
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the big talk shows, she's been on magazine covers, like
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: like this has made the rounds more than a few
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: times before we were even interested in politics or in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: nutrition or anything. And the study is based on this
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: thing that she originally read. It was a study in
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties and they took fertility samples in sperm
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: counts from nineteen forty five to nineteen ninety five, so
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: fifty years, and they saw a direct correlation between the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: amount of plastics that people were being exposed to and
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the out of sperm count being reduced. And the quote
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: that she says here is that the rate of acceleration
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: and being in line with how much plastic we were
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: exposed to, it was impossible to just be a genetic
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: defect that we were all dealing with, so it had
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to be environmental. And since it directly correlated with the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: amount of plastics, she turns this into her life's work
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: of research. And this really becomes like they even have
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a bunch of little joking topics where like they're being
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: interviewed on TV and it's like, yeah, it makes your
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: your penis smaller and it makes you infertile, and like
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: why didn't you lead with that? Well, because that's not
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: necessarily going to kill you. That's not as important as
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: all these other issues. But it's like this vistraal Haha,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: you're dick small, Like that becomes the sound bite. So
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: she kind of leans into it with this particular documentary
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and doesn't shy away from it. But I get I
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: get a feeling. It's because like she's been she's learned
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to do that, because that's the only way people pay
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: attention to this topic is when you like, haha, microplastics
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: in your balls.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because if you just go this may kill you.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: People like aware of being kind of cute, like they
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: just dismiss it. But then you're like, hey, dude, your
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: dog's gonna be short and small, and they're like what
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: or the women it was actually that one woman like, wow, girl,
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: you need to tell me that the shock rock Howard
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: Stern type things of where you can get your message
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: out there.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, we see a lot of people doing that
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: nowadays because it does resonate.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Man, if you just say that science behind it, they're
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: gonna be like, all right, nerd. But if you're like,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: say something that's just edgy and punches you in the face.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Like wait, hold on, man, like, well, what can we
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: do about this?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: And I mean, I'm guilty. I think both of us
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: are guilty too. The documentary is guilty of this because
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: everyone knows and the most memorable quotes of this and
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the scene that stands out the most is that she
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: meets up with one of these couples at like a
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: coffee shop, and she's basically like, it's six weeks in.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: They're gonna go over.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Some sperm count sample and all this and their microplastic readings,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: and she's gonna.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: Describe to them like this why they have a low.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Sperm count and how microplastics are affecting them. But when
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: she does it, she brings a doll of this anatomically
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: correct baby, male baby with a little you know, dong
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: and everything, and she's explaining how they were able to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: make this correlation. So one of the correlations was that
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: when a baby's born in this study, they measure what
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the hell is this specific name for it. There was
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: like a name for this distance between the genitals and
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the anus or whatever. It's like the anogenital measurement or something, right,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: So it's yeah, it's called the anogenital distance. So it
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: also has a name of the taint, the gooch, the grundle.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: And it's funny hearing this lady, this like eighty year
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: old lady telling you like, oh, yeah, this is the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: size of the grundle. Like she uses the word grundle
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and taint and gooch and stuff, so like it's kind
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of fun but also they're in the middle of this
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: coffee shop and there's other people here that aren't involved
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in this documentary. And she pulls out this baby, that
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: anatomically correct baby, and she flops, she pulls its pants down,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: she flops it over on the table and spreads the
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: legs open, and she's like sitting there measuring with like
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: a caliper right, like a digital and it's like, yeah,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: so you see the distance from the scrotum to the
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: atus on this baby. And there's people like, what are
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: these people doing? And I mean the fact that this
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is the most memorable part of this documentary and her
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: research was only taken serious when she leaned into this
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: angle like I don't know, you know, haha, like dick
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and balls. This is so funny. We're talking about you know,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: baby's buttles or something that that is the only way
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: that she's able to communicate this message, and she leans
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: into it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: It's the way of the future, right, What's is Charleston
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: White like kind of what he does? I mean, that's
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: the stick, Like, you know, he's trying to get certain things,
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: so we had to make this character he blames it.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: So when I see this, that was the most memorable
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: because it was cracking me up because I'm like, wait,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: what is she doing? Like, you know, especially sometimes you're
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: not sure where it's going to go with these documentaries.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: A lot of times how they introduce it, I'm just
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: thinking like, oh, the science is profession. And then they
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: just start leaning into the shtick of like yeah, dick
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: and moles and look at this, and people are like,
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: what's going on your butt? It got people's attention because
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: even people that were like just walking by, like why
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: are you doing that? And then she got to grab
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: them in And she must have noticed this a while ago,
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: because I think even when she was on the Rogan,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: because she was also on Joe Rogan and she's talking
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: and this is the thing that gets people going. So
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: she's like, Okay, I found a way to suck you
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: into the conversation. Now maybe that can help accomplish my goal.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: But it is just funny that this childish humor, right that,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: like people talk about is what drags you in, not
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: the actual science and the things that could show you,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: like hey, the sperm counts are lowering.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: They're like, I don't care about that.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: But then once you start talking about dick and ball
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: is it just Oh okay, you got my attention now.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: And props to doctor Swan for leaning into this because,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: like you said, even in that segment, you see someone
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: clearly not part of this documentary unscripted, like what are
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: you doing over here? It's like, oh, well, let me
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: show you, Like, here's this distance between this area and
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: this area. And when this distance is smaller than it
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: means in forty years, this baby, this man is gonna
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: have a little sperm count. They're gonna be infertile because
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the distance from here to here is smaller and that
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: happens when you're exposed to microplastics. So technically, it's like,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: so now all of a sudden, this person.
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: Was like what are you doing with that baby? It's
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: like they.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Understand microplastics, and they understand how it's being detected, and
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: like one of the studies that shows this correlation, and
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I guess this is the one that keeps coming up
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: over and over again. That's such an easy, obvious example.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I was also thinking of, like if this wasn't like
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a seventy year old woman doctor and this was like
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a forty year old male doctor trying to the cops
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: are at that coffee shop and someone's in jail for
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: just doing weird stuff. So but she also, I mean,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: it's how silly it is and showing the baby and like, oh,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: old ladies said the word grundle. Let's snicker a little bit.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But dude, the things that she's saying are genuinely terrifying,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: like the the ramification. So she's saying that it's not
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: just a low sperm counts, not just that you know, ah,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have a small dick. It's that the child
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: as it's developing in the uterus, even by the time
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: it comes out, like this has already taken effect, that
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be less masculine, they're gonna technically be more feminized.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: That the biological process it starts to form testes instead
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of ovaries, like that does not complete the whole cycle.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So you might even have undescended testicles and you literally
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: are more effeminate just in general because you're great. You know,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: your grandma was heating up plastic in the microwave too often,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Like this is a legitimate like relation that she's spelling out.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: And then she also is mentioning how girls are getting
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: their periods sooner and that they're entering puberty by like
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: four or five six years early, and it's this massive epidemic.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And I've heard this come up a million times before,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: and there's always like, is it the fluoride in the water?
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Is it video games that are doing it? You know?
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Is it hip hop music that's doing it? Well, she
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: says that the direct correlation is the amount of hair
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: care products you use, and that the younger and younger
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: that girls are using hair care and using pheromones and
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: different like perfumes, and if they're putting on any sort
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of makeup that has petrochemicals in it, that what's happening
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: is that they're putting all of these chemicals on their
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: body that their body is then being like, oh, I've
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: got hormones. I guess it's time to jump start this process.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't wasn't expecting a bunch of hormones to show
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: up in the middle of the party already, So all right,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: let's get this started. And that's essentially what's causing all
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: this early puberty is just the amount of chemicals and
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: hair and makeup products.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: And I heard the same thing before too, of like,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: this has been a thing that's been talked about, but
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: I've never heard it associated with plastics, and since they
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: also talked about the restructuring of like DNA and like
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: with the plastics and kind of making us feel different ways.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, this makes sense because a lot of
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: younger girls now do wear makeup?
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: Do you use these hair and beauty supplies?
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: And there's been women throughout the years, like I remember
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: one of these girls outside a party and she was
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: like talking crap because I'm smoking a cigarette.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Right, She's like, Oh, you smoke a cigarette. That's like
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: bad for you.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you go into a nail salon and get
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: your nails done, like if you've ever walked into one
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: of those things, Like you're like like the chemicals smell
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: that you get And I'm like, how can you throw
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: a rock in a glass house when I may be
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: smoking a cigarette, but I still think you ingested more
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: chemicals by just getting your nails done.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: You can you know what? Don't do either? And now
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: like I'm better than both of you. You combined, right,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Like I didn't get my nails done and I didn't
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: smoke a cigarette, So now what mic drop? So, just
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: to the documentary's credit, they absolutely mentioned the name of
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: every one of these chemicals, and they show you the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: molecular compound and the skeleton formula and all that stuff.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: But I can't remember half of them. I can't pronounce them.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be able to spell them. So they do
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: their due diligence, Like it's they give you all the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: science y stuff, right, but none of it really helps
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you because there's so much of it, and again it's ubiquitous.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: So like the main ones that I guess matter but
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: that you can't do anything about, is that there's these
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: two main chemicals that they added to plastic.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: So this is just emphasize it's not just the plastic
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: that's bad.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: But so if you have regular plastic, if you want
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: it to be soft to the touch or flexible or
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to be able to mold easily, they add something called
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: failates to it. And then the opposite, if you want
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the plastic to be like rigid and hard and like
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: structural like a water bottle or something like a like
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: a reusable water bottle, you know, like like your igloo
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: cooler or something like a protective shell. Those are called
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: bis phenols, and that these two are like the main
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: parent chemicals that always get added to every type of
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: plastic no matter what, and then another five hundred one
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: thousand plus if you want it to smell a certain way,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: look a certain way, have a certain sheen. Oh I
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: want it to be shinier, I want to look gold Like.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: All of those extra attributes are all essentially done by
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: just adding more petrochemicals to this petrochemical plastic.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: So how do we get here?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: They mentioned that again, one hundred and twenty years ago,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: all plastic came from plants, and in the early nineteen
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: hundreds we start getting it from petroleum, and then by
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: twenty fifty, we're gonna double the amount of plastic that's
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: in the world from where it is right now in
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, so in the next twenty to twenty
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: five years, we're going to double that, and then that's
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: gonna double, and then that's gonna double. So like it's
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: a definitely a downhill moment, And they point out that
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of people just trust the government, like, oh, well,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: if this were so bad, if microplastics were going to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: make everyone infertile, and everyone's gonna get cancer, and everyone's
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: gonna die early, and everyone's gonna be unhealthy. Clearly the
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: government wouldn't allow that to happen. It's like their one job.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: And then the documentary is like, have you ever heard
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: of DDT or asbestos or lead in gasoline? And I
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: guess I have to since we're both conspiracy theorists. Whenever
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you bring up lead in gasoline, you're gonna inevitably be like, well,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: they used to have our interests at heart. They wanted
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: to protect us from the five G frequencies. And now
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that you know Wi Fi is big, that's why they
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: got rid of lead and paint and gasoline is really
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: because they wanted to penetrate you with the five G waves.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that sounds pretty accurate to me. Not gonna lie.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: And then then now they can get you through the
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: why the Wi Fi and actually see you through walls.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: So I'm sure the lead paint gone does help a lot.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: They I liked a lot of the studies, like as
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: they went through with the couples, right, they were going
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: through a ninety day period of where they're like, hey,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: let's see your levels, like and they kept checking them
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: and towards the end of that, I liked the I
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: don't know where the science comes from. But they were saying,
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: like you get sixty percent reported higher energy, eighty percent
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: reported better sleep.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Thirty three percent saw be of my reduction.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: So fat people masons, you know that that kind of
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: connects that that that goes, and eighty six percent plan
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: to continue their life child changes. So the sleep thing
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: and the higher energy did did hit me a lot
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: because I'm like, you know, that makes a lot of
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: sense that like the more plastics you have, and then
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of times when I'm going out to eat
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: more and I'm sure the foods were getting out to
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: eat are filled.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: With more plastics because they rapid more plastic.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: And this is the thing that scared me through this
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: whole film is because you know, you kind of got like, Okay,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: there's a water bottle traveling from New York to California
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: on a on a truck.
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, it gets warm, little microplastics get in.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: It, but you're like everything is read, so if it
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: just touches you, it's like basically like if you touch plastic,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Like I'm drinking this plastic water bottle right now, I'm like, oh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: I'm just ingesting tons of So it's like I love
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: the information, but it was just killing the whole movie, Like, oh,
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: everything I'm touching, I'm like, oh, this keyboard is plastic,
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: this mouse is plastic.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: It really kind of does a number on your brain.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure that even like the
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: mic guard around them, Like this thing that you put
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: on the microphone is all made out of plastic, and
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: just by touching it, little microscopic pieces are breaking off
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: and I'm inhaling them. They're going inside of my body
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: right now. And just multiply that by literally everything in
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: your house, in your car. Here's a fun one, you know,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: like new car smell. You know, like, oh I love
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: new car smell. You know what new car smell is.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: It's like little tiny aerosol versions of all the toxic
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: plastics and chemicals and dyes and everything that hasn't like
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: the wind hasn't blown it out of your car yet,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: and you're huffing it, you know what I mean, You're
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: just like huffing freebasing microplastics. But it smells so good,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: just like gasoline smells so good, right, so bad for you?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the the end of this documentary, you're like,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: there's no hope for us. But okay, here's where that
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: turns around right, instead of being black piled, they actually
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: show that every one of these cups, all six of
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the couples, were able to drop the amount of microplastics
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: being detected in their system. And the way they were
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: doing this is they were just taking urine samples and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: then seeing how many of these chemicals known to be
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: in plastic that leach into the body, how much can
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: be detected, And one of the guys even went down
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: to zero percent, which doesn't mean no microplastics, It just
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: means it went so far that they don't have an
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: easy way to detect the levels. It becomes non detectable
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: trace amounts. So some of these people were starting out
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: at like the upper end of the spectrum, like they
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: might as well have just been eating plastic chips, and
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: then at the end of it, they've all been eliminated
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: plastic as much as you can read from it. So
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: there is a light at the end of the tunnel,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: but the tunnel's made of plastic, and lights made of plastic.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: But like there's a light at the end of the
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: tunnel that you can eliminate enough plastic to see a
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: market difference. And out of the six couples that we're
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: trying to conceive. Four of them were able to finally
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: get pregnant, I guess, but that I mean, that's sort
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: of like, who knows if that's related to anything microplastic
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: or anything. But they also showed here's the amount of microplastic,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: and here's the sperm count of the guys, and across
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the board, as the microplastics go down, the sperm count
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: goes up. Now, whether or not those are still duds
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that were swimming around and like eating their own tails,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: different story. But there was more of them. So again,
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: it's not like this documentary was like, oh my god,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: we discovered this new connection, Like this lady has been
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: doing this exact experiment for over four decades now, like
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: it's her thing. So here's just a Netflix movie dressed
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: around it with some nice graphics and some interviews and stuff.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: But she knew how this was going to plan out.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: She knows that there's a direct correlation between microplastics and
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: sperm count and the size of your grundle. Hidden Treasures
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: overboard moments, which you got by Hidden Treasure was actually
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: where they go through the convention of people going outside
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: of the box and making things that are not plastic,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: like biodegradable shoes and like different colors.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: And because the reason I liked it so much is
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: it got me thinking of like, Okay, well the way
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: real way to combat it.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: They didn't.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: They kind of dance around and they're like, you know,
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: we need to like get rid of plastics and and
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: you know, change chemistry, and we need to change the
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: way we build things and the and and how we
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: go about it. And now I don't think that everybody
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: can just go start like hey, I'm selling bamboo toothbrushes
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: or like uh, deodorants and all that, but it leaves
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: that market open. So what I thought is if there's
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: more people doing that and it forces the big companies
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: to lose money where they're like, okay, it's now better
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: for me my bottom line to adopt this approach, then
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: that might be the key. So that to me was
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: like the approach I think would be beneficial. They didn't
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: necessarily say that, but that's what I took for the film.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: So that was my hidden treasure of like, Okay, there
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: is a way to combat this. It's not gonna be easy,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: like you're gonna have to though, have a lot of
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: people with hard work developing different thought, different types of
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: packaging and that are not plastic and now that are biodegradable.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: But again, I don't know that if you come up
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: with another compound that it also is dangerous for you.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: But that's uh, that's the way to start, and the
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: only way is to do it to where the big
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: companies lose money and then they're like, Okay, I'll do
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: I'll do biodegradable hemp plastic now because it's profitable.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I guess the problem here, though, is that even if
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the companies, let's say all the companies come on board like,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: you know what, no more petrochemicals. We're just gonna we're
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: gonna do everything the right way this time. And let's
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: say they actually do the right thing. The amount of
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: plastic that we've already created and we're surrounded by it's
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: gonna be here for like the next million years, and
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: it's only gonna degrade, which means even more microplastics leaching
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: into everything. So and and let's be honest, the companies
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: are not on a trajectory to be like WHOA, let's
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: slow down on this plastic stuff. It again, like the
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: engine just started. It's just warming up. We haven't even
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: pulled out of the driveway yet, so that part is
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit blackpill. I like that they try and
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: dance around it. They give you some emblems of hope. Also,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: they do a great job of staying laser focused on
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the vehicle. For this is the infertility. It's the dick size,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and it's the sperm count thing like that's where they
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: keep bringing it back to. And I think it was
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: a really smart way of going about this, not only
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: because it reflects to shawna Swan Lady's research and they
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: can kind of back it up with real science, but
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: also this is such a huge expanding topic. This would
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: have to be like an eighty hour documentary to truly
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: get as deep as they get into this one topic. Like,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: for example, they even it's in like a minute or
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: two they mentioned this and keep moving on. It's like,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, that sounds pretty serious. They're like, oh,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: and by the way, you know, plastic recycling is a
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: complete scam because we're producing so much plastic that the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: world can't process it fast enough to be recyclable. And
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: even when people used to say recycle plastic, all that
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: was really happening is it was getting shipped to China,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and then China was like sorting through our garbage and
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: maybe reusing that to turn into a pair of shoes
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: that you buy again. It wasn't like they're melting it
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: down and like and making more plastic out of old
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: plastic to prevent anyone from making new plastic. Nope, that's
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: not what's happening. It's always been cheaper to just make
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: more new plastic. And they tell you, like even the
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: recycling system on plastic, it's all a lie. It's all
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: a big scam. None of it's real, and you shouldn't
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: be paying attention to it. I mean, bro, Like, recycling
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: comes every day still on my street, and there's probably
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: places if someone saw you throw a plastic battle out
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: into the regular trash, I'll be like, huh, don't you
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: know that's gonna kill a turtle.
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: Like that was one of my hidden treasures as well.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Because they're not They said the whole recycling system is
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: a scam that was put out there by the petroleum companies.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: Like yeah, man, we just recycled it, bro, don't even
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: worry about it. They show the famous name of Indian
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: crying tier of picking up a piece of plastic. And
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: people still think to this day because even like what
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: you said with a six pack, like oh, this is
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: gonna go and the turtle's gonna get stuck in it,
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And now you're just killed
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: a turtle. But the plastic means nothing. They just throw
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: it away. So it's like this whole scam. We all
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: have a big container that says recyclables, and then you
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: can get in trouble. Like now it doesn't necessarily happen,
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: but if you mix them, like if you have a
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: bunch of cans, like it's weird because if I put
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: cans in the trash, they don't care. But if I
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: throw trash like food trash into the recyclables, then they
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: flip out. They're like, whoa, Well, you can't just be
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: throwing anything up willy nilly in here.
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: And they're like now, I'm like, well, where's it even going?
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: Bro, Like you're taking so because it makes it easier
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: for you to shift through, like oh, we could reuse
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: this piece, but then the.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Rest of it's just going back into the landfill.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: And then this is also what you attested to, is
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: like it does give you some hope, but then it
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: also makes you feel like, oh, we're hopeless. And then
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: all I kept seeing in my head was that huge
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: scratch pile, and I couldn't help to think that these
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: huge poles of trash is like we are living in
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: idiocracy in twenty five years from.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: Now or Wally, same difference, I guess. So there was
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of really great like hidden treasures. The movie
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: does a great job of explaining this, and I do
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: feel like the next time it's time to like buy
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: a new spatuel or something, I'm probably gonna lean towards
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: the wood or like the silicone one, because they do
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: mention that silicon is one of the things that you
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: can use to replace some types of plastic, along with
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: like the bamboo. So I mean, I feel like it
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: made a change to me. But it has plenty of
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: overboard moments too. They're few and far between, they don't
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: necessarily take over too much of the movie, and I
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: want to feel like I'm harping down like a certain
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: beaten path a million times over again, but for zero reason.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: In the middle of this documentary where they're talking to
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: scientists about plastic and petrochemicals and like parts per billion
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: in all these different ways that you can analyze and
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: change the world. And then they talked to the President
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: of the Hip Hop Caucus, who, by the way, was
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: the co founder of P Ditty's Voter Die you know campaign,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: So close friend with P Ditty I Zoom short, little
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: like five to ten minute segment, but it felt so
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: manipulative because they have this President of the Hip Hop
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Caucus talking about how the breast cancer is being caused
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: by early periods and early periods are happening more in
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the black population in African Americans. And then they talked
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: to this organization called Rise Saint James, which is the
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Saint James Parish in Louisiana, and there was going to
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: be a big chemical factory. It was going to make
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: plastic basically put like right in their backyards. And they're
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: trying to fight this, and originally it sounds like they're
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: winning because they're making such a great point with Congress
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and it's like, we don't need chemicals in our backyard
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: and it's going to cause all these problems. What really
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: happened is they found a bunch of unmarked graves on
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the property and there was some old law that's like
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: you're not allowed to build on top of cemeteries, so
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: they had them the unmarked graves declared cemeteries. So because
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: of a like a red tape title the infraction of law,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: they got around it on a technicality. And it's seen
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: as like this big fight and it's announced by this
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: hip the president of the Hip Hop Congress or council,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: and they're framing it like and here's an example of
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: these disenfranchised black community that's being disproportionately affected by chemicals.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: So here we need to even treat it with extra
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: care and sensitivity and that we need to, you know,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: save this part of the culture. So I look this up.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know, it feels weird. They're just
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: like injecting like an a racial narrative all of a sudden, like, well,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: it's not only are microplastics bad, but microplastics are being
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: extra mean to black people. So like we now we
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: really need to focus on it. So the Saint James
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Parish in Louisiana, which they're focusing on based on this documentary.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Let mean, this isn't a trick question. Based on this documentary,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: what would you say the percentage of black to white
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: would be in this.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: Parish, the based on this documentary, I would say like
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: ninety five percent black and five percent white, or like
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: very high numbers.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I want to just say on paper, they're
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: not necessarily lying, but the actual statistics forty nine percent black,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: forty eight percent white. So the example they're showing here
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: of like it's disproportionately affecting black people, it falls on
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: its face because it's literally equal. It is the exact
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: same number of blacks that are whites in Saint James
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: Parish in Louisiana that would be affected by this exact example.
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: So it was just weird.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily doubt that you could find on paper
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: that it does disproportionately affect like lower income families and
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: then therefore like minorities and everything. But that wasn't the
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: point that they were making. That wasn't the example they
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: were using. They were using this rise Saint James, and
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: they're just showing a black lady and a black guy
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: and like, see.
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: Here's evidence.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: But if you actually looked into the evidence in classic
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Netflix style, it's like wait a minute, Like if you
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: would have zoom the camera out, it was like all
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: white people there too, but you just kind of zoomed
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: to this one section. And the reason why this is
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: overboard was there was zero reason to have any racial
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: narrative injected into this documentary other than the fact that
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: it's a Netflix documentary.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Well, I also find it to be counterproductive, Like this
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: is something that I mentioned right away when I was
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: watching with my girlfriend.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: I'm like, why are they mentioning this?
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: It's it reminds me of the same thing to do
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: with police brutality when you're like, well, you're now march
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: realizing it and you are pushing other people away like
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: this only happens to us. So now if you're trying
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: to get a group of people to agree with you
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: and stop this thing that you don't like, you need
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: to stop being divisive and be like, oh, hey, this
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: also happens to you, just so you know, like we're
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: on the same team instead of like it only happens
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: to us.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: Sometimes maybe it happens to.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: You, but it predominantly only happen and it just ruins
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: their message and muddies it up, and now you don't
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: have enough people backing you up. Now I get where
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: they're the what the line of thinking was, it's marketing.
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: That's when they were like, these are unmarked rays of
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: runaway slaves and and and former slaves that were on
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: the plantations and killed and this and that.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: Right, so they're using that narrative.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, even like this is my ancestors fighting back against
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: the corporations or something.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: And I was like, well it took long enough, bro,
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: Like I would think they would do this like way
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: before it gets out of control. Now that it's way
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: out of control, that it's like, Okay, you got a
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: little mini victory, but yeah, everything in your house is
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: still ninety for five percent plastic. But okay when for you, Yeah,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: that is the same overboard moment that just right away
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: when I saw it, I'm like, why why are we
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: interjecting this Like I'm not why not just say hey,
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: this does affect low income families more. Why because you
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: live closer and work at these factories Like that could
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: have just solidified it, But they had to paint the narrative,
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: like you said, in typical like uh, identity politics style
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: of like oh, it only affects this group, but not
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: this group, and it affects them more though, and it's like,
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: now you don't get people on board.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: I like how you just implied that his ancestors were
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: also on BPT and that's why, like they relate to
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: the party. Also the other there was like a weird
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: advertisement kind of put into this documentary as well, where
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: they're like, and here's some of the companies that are
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: trying to make a difference, and the companies that they
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: cite north face Levi's d or like it were like
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: it was like these come companies that you know for
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: a fact are adding plastic into the ecosystem, like they
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: are part of the reason for this problem. And the
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: fact that they do a limited edition release of one hundred,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: three hundred dollars sweatshirts made out of elderberry juice does not,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: you know, solve the problem that they've caused. Like you
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: mentioned before, how like the petroleum companies are the ones
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: putting out these like positive pr and like the recycling
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Another one that wasn't directly related to this, but they
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: mentioned how hand soap has petrochemicals in it.
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: That's one of the.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Weird uh like conspiracy rabbit holes I've been down too,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: is that when you have these big oil spills and
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: it's like the poor duck is covered in oil. And
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: then the the Dawn commercial where it's like they use
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: don hand soap to get the oil off of this
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: duck and now the duck will survive, it won't die
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: coated an oil well, like Dawn also comes from petroleum,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: so it's like you're using the thing that almost killed
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: the duck to save the duck and being like, aren't.
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: You glad that this exists? Duck?
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: And the duck's just like it would have been better
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: if you never did any of this to begin with,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: like you know, thank you very much. Sink or swim
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: on the plastic detox.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: This was like a horrifying horror film that it's so real,
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: like I can't get away from it, Like I can
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: understand like when people are watching these slasher films, but
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: you can go, ah, well, that wouldn't happen here.
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: I'm like, oh, it's happening everywhere. It's happening right.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: Now, Like I'm being killed right now, like slowly, And
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: it just terrified me.
• 53:34
  Speaker 5: It made me not want to go to the grocery store.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: It makes me not want to buy anything, but then
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: I have to get stuff I'm like I'm drinking water,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: I'm drinking plastic.
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: So now plastic is embedded in my head.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: And for that purpose alone, I'm gonna give it a
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: swim because it scared me into a swim.
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: It scared me straight. But I'm still gonna die of plastics.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: But at least I'll have seventy five percent of plastic
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: in me instead of ninety five.
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah, same here, man.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: This was a swim mostly because very similar to the
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: other documentary watched on, like the food supply chain and
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: like how you're never gonna eat romain lettuce or like
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: a chicken ever again. But this one, it gives you
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: that same aspect on plastic, and I feel like it's
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: gonna force me to at least consider it. Like every
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: time now I'm looking for different products and there's an
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: option that's like, oh, that one's in glass, and that
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: one's in metal, and that one's in plastic. I feel
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna rub off on me much like the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: microplastics do.
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: So I.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Can see it making a big impact. And even though
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like there was definitely a political message behind
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: this movie, like it leans a certain way, it definitely
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: is probably pro green pro altgore and all that, but
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're like and recycling is a big scam,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: and the pharmaceutical industry is a big scam, and all
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: these textile industries all big scams. Like they're blasting in
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: all directions. So even if it leans a certain way,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: I feel that as a whole, it's more objective.
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: Than not, and it's an important message.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: So highly recommend it, and I feel like it'll hold
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: up well over time, Like you might go back and
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: watch one of these documentaries and be like, oh, they
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: like they knew about this one hundred years ago, Like
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: this isn't something new.
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: And if you want to ingest more microplastics, go to
• 55:15
