you look so white. Did you do some bloodletting routine?
Speaker 3:No, he came in even with the surgical cap.
Speaker 2:He had these three scratches on his forehead.
Speaker 3:I was like cat or son.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's why you did the curl to cover it up. No, I didn't even mean to that's Suavecito curls yeah. Suavecito scrub, cap curl. Are you using suavecito? Yeah, of course are you the best.
Speaker 1:Uh, I don't use it every day. Um, I went back to it.
Speaker 3:I keep getting the 32 yeah, I get the massive one. It really is the best product.
Speaker 2:The price point like I was using, like the american, and it was like I was just running out for like a week. I was like, come on, now I'm going to go back to Murray's.
Speaker 3:Are you guys using normal, Are you going firm or are you going meté Al?
Speaker 2:dente you firm. Yeah, I use firm or normal. Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think it binds the new I. I had the.
Speaker 2:They have like their, like luxury one, two or their high-end one I used that, but I, I didn't like that this stuff just means it doesn't last. It wasn't. It didn't say luxury, it was um, I forget what it was yeah, you legit put a little water in it was in a metal tin instead of the plastic tin.
Speaker 3:Like even today. I was like okay, this is from last night, did you guys?
Speaker 2:ever try Murray's.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You have to heat it up before you put it on, and then you can't like take it out of your hair.
Speaker 3:I used to just get pimples all up in there.
Speaker 1:By three showers, you finally get it. I used to just get pimples all up in there. By three showers, you finally get it. I used to just get pimples up. Three weeks later you're like oh man, I got to reapply my Murray's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, ari was showing me the video of a girl who used super glue for her hair and then had to like she went to like urgent care. Of course this happened in New.
Speaker 1:Orleans.
Speaker 2:And the funny part is like. Part is like I saw this video and they saw the sign for Ochsner. It was Ochsner's in New Orleans, right, they're not like throughout the country. And I was like, yeah, and she was just like I knew something like this would only happen in New Orleans. She had super glued her hair to get like the fine sheen and they couldn't wash it off and they went to urgent care and it's like talking about weeks and ended up spending thousands for some surgeon out in california or maybe even arizona I don't know the details, but they use a special formula and it took four hours for a surgeon to wash out super glue from this lady's hair I was wondering like yeah, I was wondering what they like.
Speaker 1:I don't even know. I gotta wash out. After some washes, I gotta look that up and then we'll make videos, but like it's dead tissue it's dead tissue, so it probably stays stuck together and, like what people don't know, is even Dermabond's like pretty much super glue. That's what we use in the operating room.
Speaker 2:It's like it's the non-toxic I'm going to like. I don't know. I'm willing to offer Dermabond cornrows.
Speaker 3:I've dealt with glue with fake eyelashes and people coming in and they get glue in their eyes and they get all messed up because they do it themselves.
Speaker 1:But did her hair look good.
Speaker 3:I've seen people have like I've seen, Does it look bad?
Speaker 1:I don't know, does it?
Speaker 2:get flaky? I don't think so. That's the problem. It doesn't flake at all.
Speaker 3:I've had to cut eyelids apart. Yeah, ooh.
Speaker 1:Well, I, eyelids apart, yeah, oh well, I, I could see that. But like I wonder, like if you, once you take it off, you probably like peel off, like all the skin, because all that skin that usually comes off you're not taking off, so it's like all stuck in there, right?
Speaker 2:yeah, or you, just because when you shower but like I, I know like they really should just shave that lady's head. Don't super glue your head that's all we got the mustache. I guess it would. It would work good for those mustaches if you're about to lose your hair and you have a receding hairline, except like which I don't.
Speaker 1:Which I don't have.
Speaker 2:I have proceeding hairlines. It's encroaching my eyebrows almost. But if that is your problem, just super glue it there.
Speaker 1:It'll keep it there for a long time, yeah, especially if you pot it over or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, part yeah, part it over.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you do that, then yeah and once you grow it out enough and then pot it over like that, it probably won't go away for years if you superglue it there. That is true Superglue or Gorilla Glue.
Speaker 3:They're probably the same. Yeah, Gorilla's the good stuff.
Speaker 2:Matters which one's on sale.
Speaker 3:Yeah, gorilla's going to give you the better look, I think.
Speaker 2:I don't know. That's a decision to be made. Why did they name it Gorilla?
Speaker 3:Crew. Just look at the packaging. Gorilla looks more like Murray's, I'd go with.
Speaker 2:Gorilla Dude, you're sold on Gorilla. Gorilla is way more expensive. Murray's is like the cheapest pomade you can buy and it's the densest stuff. They dug into the core of the earth to find Murray's hair pomade.
Speaker 1:Could you cook with that? It's like is it like tallow?
Speaker 2:No, have we talked about the I think we've talked about the Vaseline guy. Yeah, have we here. Who P Diddy? No, no, the OG Vaseline guy no, did he? No? No, the OG Vaseline guy. No, I, the dude that invented Vaseline, ate a tablespoon of Vaseline a day just to tell people how good it was for you, and we're talking about 1800s England.
Speaker 2:He made a ton of money from creating Vaseline itself, but he continued to eat Vaseline one tablespoon a day. I'm guessing he probably was like just pounding more. He just didn't want to seem too weird. So he's like I only eat a tablespoon. The dude was pounding like pounds of vaseline probably lived to 95 in 1800s england where 95 95 nowadays it would be good. And he was way overweight. But like in 1800s england, when he did it, the average life expectancy for a male was 35.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there would be like living to like 175 years old so should we be eating vaseline?
Speaker 3:We have to do a study.
Speaker 2:Did he live through a tablespoon of Vaseline, not quite black death. That was like 14 or 1600s.
Speaker 3:We've cracked the age-proof code. Age-proof.
Speaker 2:Vaseline, eat Vaseline, eat, vaseline. But they probably put so many chemicals in it now that you?
Speaker 2:that is true, it's not pure, just petroleum jelly yeah, I miss those days when I could just get petroleum jelly where, where I could just pound it like ice cream so repeat, was he selling it as he was making his french fries product? Like no, he wasn't, but he was like this stuff is that good that you can eat it? And it's good for you. It's amazing I haven't I, I haven't like done a documentary on him and try to you haven't tried vaseline. Do a quick chat dude, I've been like I've been questioning it.
Speaker 1:I should ask my sons how it tastes, because they both like to eat it, but unfortunately paste, because I got tubs and tubs of it at home.
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, paste doesn't have the same effect because everybody eats paste. Growing up, yeah, still can't believe paste was new when we got to the US it's like cottage cheese.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was just like dude I looked at it, I was like I could see why people ate it.
Speaker 2:I tried a little bit just because I was like it looks just like the mashed potatoes they're serving in the cafeteria so almost tastes the same. How's it gonna taste it better, smelt better dude, if you just coat it with vaseline, it would have been better for you the uh powdered.
Speaker 1:I wonder if it made everything slip through his digestive tract. With Vaseline it would have been better for you the powder. I wonder if it made everything slip through his digestive tract.
Speaker 2:I'm serious the hot tea didn't even affect. Yeah, all the stuff that was going to kill him. Because, like a lot of people fucking died of diarrhea back then, like cholera was like the number one killer for a hundred years. So it's like, oh, you can't see this, you got to go on, see your way through, like just that actually makes sense.
Speaker 1:Now people go and get colonics, but his was probably.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was his natural, Like you don't need colonics, you don't even need in like your colonoscopy you don't need.
Speaker 1:He probably didn't have leaky gut because that cover coated the leakiness he, he would also have like the most, the smoothest colonoscopy ever.
Speaker 2:The camera just glides all the way up. It's like dude, you're at my mouth, now Go back.
Speaker 3:What are you looking at? I don't know. I just checked Vaseline guy meme because it's the first thing that happened. It's not a meme.
Speaker 2:I know, I know. Just look. Inventor of Vaseline or creator of Vaseline, we're supposed to talk about testosterone. Robert Cheeseburger, complete wellness, vaseline.
Speaker 3:His name was Cheesebro. Yeah yeah, g's bro is known. Consuming. Leaving it contributed to his longevity it's anecdotal data, yeah, but but it was.
Speaker 1:It was made purely. Right now it's like manufactured. So it's like. You know, like some of them come with scent, I think my wife put it on the baby, the scented one, and it burns them on the skin.
Speaker 2:So I think we do a line of Vaseline petroleum jelly products. That's what Vaseline is, pure, get it organic. I don't know what's organic about petroleum jelly, but the flavoring is what we need to nail. And we do it with whatever organic mangosteen or exotic pineapple jackfruit and do a flavored line of Vaseline and say it is not made for oral consumption. But also, on the other side, come on here and be like have you guys tried the pineapple Vaseline?
Speaker 1:I think there's a line of revenue over there they make a lot of things smell good. The kids always try to eat it Like that clay, the Play-Doh Not Play-Doh, but they have organic clay that's like that. Couldn't smell more like candy and five different flavors of candy.
Speaker 3:Put this in your mouth, try it.
Speaker 1:Gumball drop Legos for your little ones. They smelled so good, like the green apple one. I was like, damn, I want to eat that thing. It was so green.
Speaker 2:Did you try it? No, you don't need to lie. I've tried some stuff. I've tried cat food. I'm like what am I eating?
Speaker 1:My son walks around and picks up the dog food, fights with the dog for the dog food which one? It is kind of human food because we cook it. He gets sous vide vegetables.
Speaker 2:Yeah, our pets eat better than we eat.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like the amount of honey nut Cheerios we crushed was not good for us we we had that so much it started tasting like piss yeah, I know about you like oh yeah, I was just like I'm never I don't know what kind of honey they put on that shit it was horrible, but it was like every day for like two years in a row it's like I am never eating honey nut cheerios ever again.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but it's on sale yeah I don't understand how there's still a full aisle of cereal cereal is kind of crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're right about that, but you got to keep the farmers cereal's probably.
Speaker 1:cereal's probably taking a huge hit, though, oh, I'm sure. But, still, but like I don't know, Relatively, For us? Yeah, but like for you know, a different level of income that's like what you live on.
Speaker 2:There's still whole aisles of cereal and chips, yeah plus breakfast is.
Speaker 3:I mean, I feel like you could easily resort to cereal and trying to get kids to eat breakfast, so you got to make it Anytime I eat cereal.
Speaker 2:I feel hungry.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Oatmeal a little more full, but still feel hungry, or I need lunch before 12. I generally just don't eat breakfast. Yeah, never like, really like.
Speaker 3:probably because the honey nut not like tasting like piss thing like it's just a variation of eggs, or then you start making. You know, I think that's all it is. Is I eat? Breakfast now because, anez but I damn it, it's like she wants breakfast, which is good, but I never, yeah, I never before. Plus, obviously, we need to make food for the kids too.
Speaker 2:What are the ducks that are force-fed?
Speaker 3:Oh, the po-ba Frogwa Sorry.
Speaker 2:Frogwa, frogwa, frogwa, frogwa the po-boy, po-boy, I've had it.
Speaker 3:I mean, my Tunisian buddy used to bring foie gras from Tunisia to the island and it was phenomenal, it was so good.
Speaker 2:Why was he bringing it from Tunisia to the island?
Speaker 3:Because that's where it was from.
Speaker 2:What's about Tunisia?
Speaker 3:It was Tunisian and mean they have french good. Yeah, they have good good food. They had good foie gras. It was freaking great.
Speaker 2:It was just feeding too it was just delicious.
Speaker 3:We just eat foie gras straight.
Speaker 2:It's like I can't help myself. If I see it on the menu, I order it. It's.
Speaker 3:If it's good that stuff was better than anything I've ever had. I mean, it was probably like $5 cans. He's like oh yeah, I buy it here too. It's not that much, it's probably human-fed After the Arab Spring Tunisian frog wall got a lot tastier no rules now, no rulersier.
Speaker 2:No rules now, no rulers, no rules. All right, let's get into it. So another natural remedy uh, they found out to work pretty well for certain diseases is fecal transplants. Yeah, have you guys tried it?
Speaker 1:no, well, when I was in general surgery, it was just coming about where you know you like, because people would get c diff and then we'd have to do fecal transfer, and the way they were doing it was getting donated poop and um from family members and doing an enema in these patients.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's nice, they did enemas. They eat shit now.
Speaker 1:Now, I think they can put it in capsules, right?
Speaker 3:They do, they put it in capsules and they take it. You literally eat shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you eat shit.
Speaker 3:That's way better than what they do, obviously, or way better.
Speaker 1:not, it repopulates the microbiome, because when these patients are sick, their microbiome, because when these patients are sick, their microbiomes changed and C diff takes over and it's either like do this, like pretty her, like extensive surgery, and well, it's antibiotics. But a lot of these people end up getting like toxic megacolon and you have to remove their entire colon and then you're left with ostomy.
Speaker 2:Have ostomies.
Speaker 1:Yeah, ostomy, and you almost can't really even reverse that. But a lot of the patients were dying from this and Arizona actually, when I was a general surgery resident during the summertime you would have endless amounts For a resident. You get a lot of experience removing entire colons, but for the patients it wasn't good because they were critical in the ICU and you know. Sometimes they'd get better and sometimes we'd tell them there's 95% chance you're going to die, or to the family, the patients would be intubated.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's 95% chance that you would die. You've got to look up pictures of toxic megacolon no, I know toxic megacolon. It's like literally this big, there's 95% chance you're going to die.
Speaker 3:Once they get toxic megacolon, right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, even if we remove your colon, so you have 5% chance of survival. And some people would want us to do everything for their family member, so we'd remove their colon, but a lot of people would succumb to it because they were already so sick. They were on three different uh pressers, they were intubated, they were already very sick and and these are very sick people it's not like your normal, healthy patient.
Speaker 1:They were already sick. They were in the hospital for sepsis or antibiotics for one reason or another. Or they were in there not even sepsis or antibiotics for one reason or another, or they were in there not even with antibiotics. You could get it just like from being immunosuppressed. And the reason it's called C diff is C diff is the bacteria that overgrows and overpopulates the colon and produces these endotoxins.
Speaker 2:I thought that was short for C differently.
Speaker 3:Fasthidium difficile.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a very sick patient. You're like, ah, another one, you know, like we'd see it especially during the summertime, and like patients get it at nursing homes and especially when you're immunosuppressed, like you can pass it on from one person to another.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, patients get it at nursing homes, and especially when you're immunosuppressed.
Speaker 3:like you can pass it on from one person to another. Oh yeah, easily. Yeah yeah, I was on my just medicine rotation. Oh, this is good, it was just like 10 rooms side by side.
Speaker 2:A nurse or somebody just passed C diff to every single patient in 10 rooms side by side. Yeah, you just see the.
Speaker 1:So precautions, yeah, it's definitely calmed down because I think the fecal transplants just it works wonders, and like these people. I I think it's pretty quick turnaround. I haven't had to deal with the patients like over 15 years, but like like I hear like they recover pretty quickly, yeah, and it works really well for inflammatory bowel disease and you took care of those patients in general surgery.
Speaker 2:They're just in and out of the hospital, especially with the severe ones ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Again, it sets them microbiomes right. So you stop eating away at your own tissue and it's just the ones I saw have had such a remarkable recovery. Where it's like Crohn's is really bad and Crohn's 20 years ago is just like dude. I'm sorry you got Crohn's, yeah, and we'll just operate you as much as we can. But I don't know if end of the day, you're going to be better. You're going to be like hooked on narcotics.
Speaker 1:You're going to have 20 surgeries. Most of them were depressed and all sorts of antidepressants and all sorts of things with Crohn's. Yeah, you know who has Crohn's, who Doesn't? Mr Beast have Crohn's? Mr Beast has Crohn's, I think, mr.
Speaker 2:Beast, are you out there? You have Crohn's. You want to come on here? No, I'm almost 100% sure. Yes, I think you're right.
Speaker 1:You're right, yeah, but I don't know. So maggots, maggots for plastic surgery. Like you know, some patients come with maggots on their legs, which isn't a good thing. But um once you, they're sort of used to debride the wounds. Yeah, so you could put medical maggots on wounds to kind of eat away at dead tissue. It's dead tissue, right? They, they eat dead tissue.
Speaker 2:Selectively eat dead tissue, which is nice, yeah, thanks, so, maggots, it's used as yeah, wound care.
Speaker 1:You could either take them to the or or, if they're that sick, you just put the maggots on for them to eat away at the dead tissue it goes back to, like, the ancient times how about leeches?
Speaker 2:leeches are to suck blood. Yeah, so like we do microsurgery, we hook up arteries and veins for our flaps. But there's certain things, like when people replant or place the air back on and can't hook the vessels back up. If it's large portions they can get congested or fingers.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You put a leech on there um to help with with venous outflow until you build collateral flow.
Speaker 1:So what they so, what the leeches do, and they usually stay on for seven to ten days, and it's got to have adequate enough blood flow. If you don't have good blood flow then the leeches won't stick on, um so you need to go back to the operative.
Speaker 3:Huh, so it's already so in the case of no blood flow, say like necrotizing fasciitis.
Speaker 1:Is it useless? No, no, no, leeches are used.
Speaker 2:That's not gonna help leeches are used on flops okay just literally just venous congestion.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's it some people put them on the face and stuff like yeah, because I've seen it before.
Speaker 3:That's why I was at. That's why I'm saying that.
Speaker 1:So, with leeches what they do, they also secrete something to prevent blood clotting.
Speaker 2:Kind of like heparin, they got it. So that's Hirsutin, hirsutin yeah, so that's one of the ways. Yeah, yeah, so that's one of the ways.
Speaker 1:But you also got to worry about bacterial infections with leeches. So you're put on antibiotics. So then you got to worry about C diff. So bringing it all together, but no, they stay on antibiotics, the leeches usually by 7 to 10 days. You can take them off as long as you see good venous outflow. Of course bringing on leeches isn't a normal thing all the time, but for some pretty severed fingers especially we just had July 4th. So firework injuries where you're going to have a tough time finding venous or the veins are just too small to hook up okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:But if it's a large vein and you need leeches then that vein's probably going to go down. Yeah, the um I did there. There's a patient that needed a flap to cover down here after an APR or abdominal you know, perineal resection. Yeah, and the flap was getting congested so they were getting leashes and I'd spent the whole night because the nurses were just like. This leech took off. We tried to put a cup on there and keep it on there.
Speaker 2:I'm literally the majority of the night on call. I'm chasing leeches left and right in this unit and you just see the blood trails and you're like what the hell? There's nobody else, that can just be like okay, the leeches follow the blood trail.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you'd have to come up with different contraptions, especially if you wanted it to localize to the area that's not receiving adequate blood. Otherwise they're going to go on the normal skin and get blood out.
Speaker 3:So you've got to kind of square them off so they're not.
Speaker 2:Make sure they stay in the same area yeah, uh, these leashes definitely knew, they were just like get away from this butthole.
Speaker 3:It's hilarious.
Speaker 2:Is michael j fox still alive? Yeah. So if you see him you should go like just smoke a cigarette and blow it in his face.
Speaker 1:I took some nicotine before coming in my parkinson's.
Speaker 2:They keep saying everything with dopamine and how it relates to, like mental illness or mental wellness.
Speaker 1:I think it's a little bit generalized yeah just just like all the pharmaceuticals yeah, like, even you know, like test fennel scene, which we've talked about before, that they were giving to dementia patients and they probably used it in Parkinson's and the thing is it inhibits dopamine uptake.
Speaker 2:So when you say that it inhibits uptake, so it means it's available to be used up by the receptors.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, and so what they found out was people were losing too much weight using this stuff. So they stopped the studies on Alzheimer's and dementia because, even though it could, work on that.
Speaker 2:They don't want them losing weight, remembering how they got it sorry.
Speaker 1:So bleach is really used in a lot of medical things so one thing is for wound care.
Speaker 1:A lot of the stuff diluted down bleach to clean the wounds. It actually works well against MRSA. Um and when, when people have MRSA they have to go home and which is MRSA or methylene methicillin resistant? Uh, staph aureus, which is a pretty like resistant bacteria, causes infections and like sometimes it can be spread from someone that you know. Like I had a kid that got it from their uncle, being like coming from jail, had MRSA and he had like all these abscesses on legs and stuff and we're like how the hell does this kid have abscesses and his uncle would come home from jail and had MRSA infections previously and just spread through the house. So you have to kind of clean the house with bleach. But for wound care it's used to kind of kill that MRSA. Use it in packing wash, everything Dakin's yeah, and you can get at different strengths.
Speaker 1:Now vosh is also, which is even I don't know what they. I think it's baking soda and dacons mixed together.
Speaker 2:It should be baking soda and vinegar. That stuff helps me clean stuff. Yeah, that's very strong in killing bacteria.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's very strong in killing bacteria. The other thing that it's used for like even if you get a silicone implant rupture, the stuff that's used to clean it out I was like, oh, this stuff smells like bleach. It was like bleach. It kind of cleans up that silicone inside the breast pocket and also use it if you have a patient that has issues with capsule contractor and stuff that it's used for that, but that's irrigation.
Speaker 2:That's irrigation. You're not drinking it, yeah, yeah, do not.
Speaker 1:Drinking it. It's chemically toxic.
Speaker 2:It's going to cause ulcers esophagitis. It's going to cause you ulcers, ulcers esophagitis in your lining. Yeah, so bleach is not like vaseline at all. Do not consume it, or yeah it's.
Speaker 3:You know how many people, and I think it was like 150 to 200 people in iran, died during covid. They were drinking bleach. It was like a I don't know like a big thing, I guess a group of people just really bleach.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't drink bleach yeah, even I think even in the us they were doing it yeah, they were yeah yeah there was a certain president that asked about it air candling I don't know what the benefits would be, but I guess people are doing it to remove wax from their ears. They're doing what. I don't know what the process is. It's just like you're sticking a candle in your ear and using that to grab the wax. You shouldn't be cleaning your ears anyways?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you know what works well is, you know, a 50-50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and water and you put it in there, you let it sit for like three to five minutes and then turn your head, let that drain out and put it in the other ear. Or isopropyl alcohol. But peroxide works a lot better. I think Both are diluted.
Speaker 2:Most of the air drops, that's the main chemical, but you shouldn't do it that often.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of people, myself included, get hooked on q-tips yeah because like just that sensation, but anytime you clean it it's causing irritation. Yeah, and that irritation makes you want to like itch it more yeah, so you're like, oh, I'm gonna stick something in there and scratch that itch. Yeah, uh, so it's just like this negative feedback that you keep doing it. So if air candling prevents you from doing that, then just, I guess, stick a candle in your ear which side?
Speaker 3:of the candle. Are you sticking it in? I'm just looking. I don't know. I think it's the. I think you light one end, then you put the other end. It supposedly makes a suction.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:That pulls your wax out, but the picture's hilarious.
Speaker 2:It's just like this okay, what else doesn't work? The tapeworm diet. Back in my day, if you got the tapeworm, you would just sit there with a raw piece of chicken on your tongue, wait for the tapeworm to come out to eat that raw piece of chicken, and then you just pull it right out of your system how are the people are people are doing parasite cleanses.
Speaker 1:So yeah, the tapeworm to lose. Lose weight. It's gonna just make you malnourished because the tapeworm is going to take up all the nutrition oh wait, the tapeworm diet is consuming tapeworm to help it, I think it's for weight loss, that's got to be it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, that's the only thing that makes sense. You consume a tapeworm so it eats everything, and then you shit out a massive worm. That sounds like the worst thing.
Speaker 1:Well, once they implant, they probably put eggs in. You're done, You're done.
Speaker 3:You're done son.
Speaker 1:Then you got tapeworms everywhere. It's going to be tough to. You'll have worms coming out of your butthole.
Speaker 2:It's like hey, back in the day, back in ancient times, people were trying to fight this off. Now you're just consuming it, yeah.
Speaker 1:At least I'm skinny.
Speaker 3:But now it's the craziest parasite cleanse.
Speaker 1:So you're trying to get rid of those worms.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you usually should. You shouldn't carry many parasites.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's a bad idea.
