the Joe Rogan experience and it's also happening because of plastics in the
water you know I know Chris DeStefano was talking about this recently on his
Instagram but he's he was incorrect about he was saying that it makes you
more you have a more of a chance of getting cancer it's not that it's he was
talking about taints being smaller and there's a woman named Dr. Shanna Swan
and
what they found is that phthalates which are a particular residue from plastics
it's a chemical that comes from all the petrochemical products that we use
plastics and things you microwave in and things you keep water in they all leak
phthalates and these phthalates when applied to mammals they've done these
studies where they show that there's a direct correlation between phthalates in
their bloodstream and babies being born with smaller taints which is true yes
it
is true so it's the distance between your dick and your asshole in males in
mammals it's it's one of the best ways to recognize whether a mammal is a male
or
female because you know sometimes people see like hamsters or a puppy it's hard
to
tell if it's a boy or girl you got to look at it real close especially with a
furry one the best way to tell is that taints because taints and males are 50
to
100% larger than taints on females but because of exposure to phthalates the
the
taints are growing smaller and smaller the penis sizes are growing smaller and
smaller testicle sizes growing smaller and smaller sperm counts are dropping
fertility rates are dropping rapidly and it's all has to do with plastic which
is a
part of the modern world so just like the modern world of like throwing meat to
these wolves and getting them closer to the campfire led to the domestication
of
the wolf which led to them slowly getting turned into collies that's what's
happening to humans are we are literally not just because of our environment
and
our society and the the cushy nature of our existence in 2022 but also the
introduction of petrochemical products is a direct correlation and this woman
dr
shanna swanch has his book called countdown it's fucking terrifying because
she's she's basically saying that this data wasn't even really uncovered until
was
it like 2015 Jamie yeah it's new it's for sure now very new this story I saw
the
other day microplastics have been found in air water food and now human blood
well
yeah that's that's the phthalates and it's also plastics and also different
pesticides and different farming chemicals Mike Wow scientists tested the
blood of 22 anonymous donors and found microplastics in 80% of them this is
wild shit man because it's it's literally changing the hormonal profile and the
reproductive systems of human beings yeah and making us weaker but it's less
masculine it's kind of pick your poison though right because like the modern
world makes you live longer but sort of but you live like a bitch you live like
a
bitch previous research had found we inhale and ingest enough microplastic
pieces of
plastic create a credit card each week holy shit but until now scientists didn't
know
whether in those particles were entering the bloodstream ingest enough
microscopic pieces of plastic to create a credit card each week holy fuck man
yeah
a lot holy fuck I click the thing it says there's about 2,000 tiny pieces of
plastic each week that equal the weight of a credit card damn that but where's
it
coming from it's most of it's come it says making their way into our food
drinking
water and even air but it says it's on CNN they might be lying do you shit it
out or is it like becoming part of your
part of your body and is toxic no it becomes a part of your blood it gets in
your bloodstream
brutal it what well this is the awareness of microplastics and their impact of
the
environment is increasing this study has helped provide an accurate calculation
of
ingestion rates for the first time so pull up that woman's book Dr. Shanna Swann
I
recommend everybody if if you don't want to buy her book or get her audio book
please at
least listen to her on the podcast because it's fucking wild so it's when she
details the impact the direct correlation
between the invention of these petrochemical products and where we're at right
now in
terms of like sperm rates taint sizes testicle sizes penis sizes and went with
women it's miscarriage rates and rates of fertility everything is getting
affected
by these plastics to the point where you know she's like you shouldn't use any
of
that stuff don't drink out of plastic bottles all that it's wild shit man it
makes
sense like it does make sense but it's it's terrifying that we didn't know
about it until
seven years ago yeah well that's what it seems like capitalism pushes something
forward because
it's uh cheap and efficient and it serves the bottom line and then we find out
about the
consequences like later because yeah the consequences are often inconvenience
to the
bot inconvenient to the bottom line yeah and they try to suppress it for as
long as possible and
then is there a way even to live without plastic in this age without completely
revamping the
entire society and that would probably take a hundred years don't they do like
uh recyclable
plastic they know how to make like potastic plastic out of potatoes and things
like that now now i
don't know if it's specifically potatoes but sometimes you'll see like this
plastic was made from
something i don't understand it it's egghead shit but i don't know if they
still use petrochemical
products and making it out of potatoes i would imagine they do because they
have machines
maybe it just doesn't get into the actual product but like i know they can make
hemp plastic yeah and
hemp plastic is actually biodegradable yeah there's a lot of shit they can make
off of hemp hemp hemp is a
alien plant it's probably like um just has to do with if it costs more or not
and then plastic is
probably the cheaper way or well we've been doing it this way for so long we do
when do they start using
plastics for like food and containers and shit it was probably like the 1950s
probably right good guess you know when was like that's when all like
things styrofoam was a big thing in the 80s and they're like that shit's never
gonna end up out of
the landfills we gotta stop using styrofoam yeah well i think about how many
times you drank coffee
out of a styrofoam cup yeah you have hot liquid in that cup for sure some of
that plastic is getting
into that a doubt large scale plastic production began in the early 50s there
you go good call man
so from that i probably remembered it but from then to now you're talking about
70-ish years
and in those 70-ish years most of what we use needs plastic everything has
plastic here's the
digital effect on it it's a lot of plastic humanists have produced 18.2
trillion pounds of
plastic the equivalent of one billion elephants since large-scale plastic
production began in the
early 1950s nearly 80 percent of that plastic is now in landfills holy fuck by
2050 another 26.5
trillion pounds will be produced worldwide plastic flowing in the world's
oceans rivers and lakes will
increase from 11 million metric tons in 2016 to 29 million metric tons
annually in 2040 the equivalent of dumping 70 pounds of plastic waste along
every foot of the
world's coastline according to the research from the pew charitable trusts you
can eat or breathe in
about 2 000 tiny plastic particles each week my god most are ingested from bottled
water and tap water
whoa tap water is tap water i don't know
but the crazy thing is like this is like radically affecting our biology and we
didn't even know about
it when that lady was on this podcast i read the synopsis of her book i was
like wow that'd be
interesting it was terrifying like i thought like what she was going to say was
i had no idea it was
going to be that nuts that is crazy and that it was about taints and that your
taint is a great measure
of like where you know how much uh phthalates you were uh you came in contact
with when you're in the
womb if we keep going will they collide yeah it'll be a coical yeah like a duck
you'll just have like uh it'll be easier to fuck yourself i guess yeah sad yeah
it's not good but
that's i mean if you look at all the shit that's going on today where like we
need to save the taints
movement to get this awareness i would like to look at russian taints they're
probably very long so the
more masculine you are the bigger your taint essentially i don't know if that's
the case but
it's a direct relationship to the exposure of phthalates that it gets smaller i
don't know if
like you have a long super long taint it's like more masculine right but on
average male mammals
have a 50 to 100 larger taint than the female mammals
