The Worst of the Best Podcast

0:00
how you doing I'm doing all right how are you good how's Co treating you I'm not on an incubator yet those
0:08
days are coming they're coming for us all don't that and riots time of this
0:16
recording it might obviously we uh record a few two or three weeks before the album album the album drops two or
0:23
three weeks before the episode drops but as of now yeah there's some good old fashioned rioting nothing in Canada yet
0:28
that I'm aware of yeah yeah um have you heard of anything in Canada I haven't no
0:34
it's a good thing we don't get the internet up here that's probably why we don't know what's happening that is a good thing I'm starting to think if the
0:40
internet's actually as great as everybody wanted us to believe it was I I know I love doing the podcast I
0:48
would willingly sacrifice my tens and tens of listeners to not have a podcast
0:54
if it meant no internet yeah yeah I can go back to buying CDs uh renting videos
1:00
of Blockbuster I kind of miss those days I admit yeah I don't think social media has helped very much in the last four or
1:09
five years I think it's been actually you know this is just me I think in many
1:14
ways it's been harmful mhm it gives a voice to negativity and unfortunately it
1:20
seems it again this is just my experience too in my opinion and my experience that negativity seems to you
1:27
know if it bleeds it bleeds right yeah yeah it amplifies amplify the
1:34
negativity I remember like Facebook you know when we first started using Facebook it was just fun light-hearted
1:41
yeah family friend interactions hey I went camping and now it's just turned into
1:47
pushing agendas from anything under the sun right whatever tickles somebody's
1:54
fancy yeah speaking of pushing agendas that's almost all I use it for is to say
1:59
hey yeah I released a new podcast episode that's almost I do a couple little family photos but I never
2:05
comment like rarely on politics religion sexuality you name it it's either here's
2:13
a new podcast episode and here's a picture of my kids having a picnic exactly I I just can't do it but
2:21
we're friends on Facebook so you see all the stuff I post it's you're right it's just family and I just wish it kind of
2:26
went back to that instead of people just sharing other people's
2:32
articles like it's just sharing look what I read I thought was so important that I need to make you woke
2:39
about because obviously no one in my friends list is as woke as I am so I'm gonna I'm G to tell you what you think
2:47
how to feel and on that note let's talk about the worst of the
2:52
best spreading negativity we're going to pick the worst I think we already are aren't we that's right
3:01
welcome to the worst of the best podcast you wanted the best well they didn't
3:08
freaking make it so here's what you get from Canada
3:13
Ryan and Jason [Applause]
3:21
[Music]
3:27
[Applause]
3:33
all right welcome to the worst of the best podcasts I'm your host Ryan with me today returning guest host my older
3:39
brother Jason how you doing hey good thanks for having me yeah I think this
3:45
is your first nonm music episode and we should also let our listeners know this is your pick I let you pick today's
3:51
topic and I regret it I I appreciate giving me a little bit
3:57
of a longer leash on your show yes did pick a a topic I think that would be
4:03
easy to talk about in that it will be fun sure yeah yeah there's pretty
4:09
light-hearted subject matter agreed and in today's climate that we kind of
4:17
preambles and the and as important as many topics are that are happening in the world of course we want to add a
4:23
little bit of levity and a little bit of uh fun and something a little bit gross at the same time that's today's episode
4:29
this is 10 ways to make money from disgusting
4:34
habits who of us didn't grow up being told you know don't chew your nails or
4:39
stop picking your nose I tell my kids like all day hey uh so and so stop di in there
4:46
get a Kleenex or one of my kids is a weirdly a habitual nail biter chewer and
4:52
I never see him do it I go to cut his nails and like three of them are chewed down to the nub and I'm like when did
4:58
you do this I never see you do it though children and some adults may not realize it the fact is the human body is
5:04
fairly nasty and it's normally a good idea to try to mask our grotesque bodily habits for the good of our social image
5:11
so most of us like you and I J we grow out of our grosser habits by the time we're adults or at least only adult a
5:18
secret usually now I agree that the human body is kind
5:25
of gross everything about it is sort of gross except for Attractive people the
5:31
body even they can participate in a disgusting habit right of course but
5:37
maybe that's why we like good-look people because it masks everything that the body does even with good-looking
5:43
people think of the best looking girl or guy depending whatever your sexual attraction is I don't care for our
5:48
conversation Jason think of the best looking woman that you can think of she still poops I was just gonna say and then you
5:55
watch them walk out of you know the store with a you know a big
6:00
Bo box of toilet paper you're like oh you do that too yeah she still has to
6:06
blow her nose and Toots and poops and all that good stuff so but people do
6:11
have a weird Fascination over the disgusting and for some few there's also Fame and Fortune to be found behind this
6:18
stigma Jason and I are going to go over 10 examples these might not be the best examples but these are 10 examples of
6:26
ways and income people have made money from their gross habits fair warning uh
6:32
we'll try not to be too graphic this is an audio podcast there's no video everything we say you can Google if you
6:37
want it's all googleable there's images for everything videos for everything but here's number 10 I'll start with number
6:43
10 number 10 is pooping for profit and purpose I do the purpose I haven't made
6:50
money off of it yeah so here you go this is how this one
6:55
works there is bacteria that's called C def I don't know if I'm saying that right c.
7:01
defile that infects nearly half a million people in the United States alone so the symptoms include like water
7:07
diarrhea cramping which can even reach fatal consequences I saw the covid deaths in
7:16
world and they show like that moving chart and diarrhea was still within the
7:22
top 15 or so causes of death in the world it's amazing that it's still an
7:28
issue yeah so they're trying to figure figure things out how to obviously fix this issue cuz it is serious so to
7:33
counteract this dangerous infection a course of antibiotics is usually prescribed but antibiotics do not
7:39
discriminate between harmful and helpful bacteria so during the course of treatment some 2,000 different kinds of
7:45
stomach bacteria most are very helpful are also killed so worse yet c. defile
7:52
can be difficult to permanently destroy and the tenacious Invader will sometimes repopulate even after a course of
7:58
antibiotic treatment so here's the solution fecal matter
8:06
transplants sorry it's exactly what you think it is
8:14
folks these TR Splats are the result of taking the rich gut biome from a healthy
8:20
human stool sample and Distilling it into a pill to be taken by someone suffering from cicile this replenishes
8:28
the population of helpful bacteria as well as assisting in the elimination of seed defile from the body but not
8:33
just any poop can be used for FAL matter transplant out of a thousand prospective
8:39
donors only 4% of them qualify after rigorous medical testing extremely
8:45
healthy poop is a rare commodity one worth paying for donors can make
8:52
$250 for five samples a week or 13,000 a year as compensation but it isn't just
8:59
just about the money of course Mark Smith co-founder of FAL matter transplant company he says we get most
9:05
of our donors to come in three or four times a week which is pretty awesome and you're usually helping three or four
9:10
patients out with each sample and we keep track of that and we let you know how it went that's awesome this is
9:17
obviously not a picking your nose habit this one is obviously a medical thing so we all poop that mean habit doesn't mean
9:24
it's something you can avoid pooping is a habit we all do that it just means something that you do regularly what
9:31
what's amazing here I I really got to tip my hat to the medical field in general the fact that they can come up
9:36
with this stuff I've always said if the world was up to me and my ability to solve problems we'd all be dead like
9:42
there's I don't know how to fix anything well we definitely wouldn't be doing a
9:47
podcast right we uh because there would be no internet I wouldn't be able to figure out how to create the internet
9:53
create electricity I've always said if this if the world history only maxed out
9:58
with my brain capacity we'd still be eating raw meat we'd be dead yeah yeah
10:05
we'd be dead tip my hat to the feal transplant company and for the help that
10:10
they're giving people yeah Jay would you want to donate your poop though is it worth your
10:15
time I'm doing it anyway as mon as will get paid for it do you think your poop is healthy though it's a rare command
10:21
you only have a 4% chance of being a worthy poop no no no I doubt it do you
10:29
bring it like a Ziploc bag or tupperware container I guess it depends on the day
10:36
are you're like uh I better go over and see uh Mark Smith at the feal matter transplant I'm uh I'm feeling a movement
10:43
coming on I better make my way over I'm glad they take a pill I actually thought they
10:50
would that doesn't matter insert the poo in and anyway honestly honest when I
10:57
scanned this list and made it I had write it I actually thought that's what they were doing yeah that's what you do
11:03
with transplant right you're taking one thing and replace yeah you're digesting it yeah is
11:08
that better yeah in a pill form you're just gulp if you were to
11:13
burp if you burped after you took the pill oh [Music] [Laughter]
11:22
stop oh that's so gross sorry it's like what did you have
11:28
for dinner last night broccoli if all you would taste it you
11:33
just vomit it's a waste of a pill cuz you you just vomit out the bacteria okay
11:39
moving on we told you that that was a safe one we got more all right yeah so uh number nine on the list is fast food
11:46
and weight gain for science researchers at Washington University um wanted to
11:52
see the correlation between weight related diabetes and hypertension as
11:57
they observe people's gain in weight participants were asked to consume an extra thousand calories of fast food
12:05
every day in order to put on the pounds so they could understand the development of these other health issues for meeting
12:11
the goal of increasing their weight by 5 to 6% over the course of three months the participants were given up to
12:19
$3,500 now that sounds like it's an easy task but the men and women who
12:25
participated did not enjoy the process yeah they found that it was was uh more difficult than they thought it would be
12:32
well you ever seen that movie Super siiz me the documentary right yeah and I
12:37
assume that's what they're experiencing when you eat really poor food especially fast food it's yeah it's fun to think I
12:45
get to eat McDonald's or Burger King every day it's a fun thought and I guess there are some people to do I hate to say you might imagine in your head what
12:51
that type of person might look like I'm not passing judgment I'm not even going to say what you just in your own brain you think what somebody might look like
12:57
that eats fast food every day okay I would suspect those are some of the people that are needing uh the fecal
13:04
matter transplants 3500 bucks to gain five to
13:09
six perents of pounds yeah so it's a three-month process they're getting $3,500 for three months which is about
13:16
1,000 bucks a month th000 plus a month sure this is actually is another one that helps for good cause so the nasty
13:22
habit or the bad habit would be people already are overeating you could almost imagine maybe some of these people
13:28
thought thought it would be fun to do I would suspect that they wouldn't get somebody who was already in danger of
13:34
diabetes they'd probably get somebody who was quote unquote a normal healthy kind of body and just say here let's
13:40
just put you on this experiment for three months that's why it's only three months and to do that every day for
13:46
three months well that's what I mean with the super siiz me he only did it for one month yeah but that was every
13:53
meal it was every meal was a McDonald's meal I think for them they they're just doing whatever the calorie is needed for
13:59
which doesn't take much I think one Big Mac alone is 1,000 calories yeah for sure for sure the very rare occasion
14:06
that I would go to McDonald's you know maybe four times a year or whatever it's
14:11
not very often it's quite rare it sounds more appealing and you're usually doing
14:17
it out of like an Emergen not emergency but I'm really hungry I'm on the road I I need to grab a few calories and you
14:25
think that oh this is going to be a good experience it ends up never feeling good you feel like why did I
14:32
just do that I don't know about you almost every time I feel like why did I
14:37
just do that yeah no it's always regret it's always regret yeah regret that's the word yeah cuz it's convenient it
14:43
smells good it even tastes good on your tongue I wish there was some sort of pill or not pill or even some sort of
14:50
eating experience where you could just taste a Big Mac in your mouth without the effects you know just bite it and
14:58
take another bite but it dissolves in your mouth like a dissolving Big Mac it dissolves into the ethos somehow I love
15:04
a Big Mac but I haven't had one I've mentioned this before in the show but I'm on keto I don't eat Big Macs I love
15:11
a Big Mac it's I love the burger I love the way it tastes but yeah an hour or two hours later like you know why yeah I
15:17
spent $12 on this meal could have saved the money and has eaten a proper meal at home well speaking of a bad Big Mac or
15:24
McDonald's food sometimes you get gas right you get gas after McDonald's or fast food
15:29
well we're going to go back in time a little bit so here's a specific example of somebody making money off farting
15:36
okay in the late 19th century a boy named Joseph pugel discovered that he had an odd Talent while swimming on a
15:43
trip with his family so during his swim he had a strange cold sensation inside his gut panicked he went ashore to a
15:50
private place and watched as liters of water evacuated from his
15:55
rump I've actually heard of this that people are able to
16:01
intake uh I know there's colleges that it's called The Funnel drinking or something like
16:07
that oh boy so anyway so his doctor was unworried and so pil didn't think
16:13
anything of it again until years later when encouraged by his friends to repeat the feat so I guess he told the story to
16:18
everyone like hey I went swimming and water filled up into my you know intestines and I was able to it out it
16:26
was then that he discovered that this wasn't a one-off event he had the unusual ability to inhale liquid or air
16:32
into his rear end and release it on command and from that moment on he began to nurture his new found Talent So
16:39
eventually he put his skills on display as a performer as one would do this is something somebody could do in the 1800s
16:45
you know so under the name Le pedan and began putting on shows he dazzled his
16:51
audience with an array of different farts each one described for the benefit of his fans this is where I wish they
16:56
were able to record this for YouTube I'm sure you can find it on YouTube well I'm sure there's people that can do it today
17:02
in fact I did personally Jason I personally knew of somebody that could actually do this I couldn't believe it
17:07
he told me that he could suck in air through his anus and fart on command and
17:13
he did and I was like that's unreal and I was actually kind of jealous it's like burping right people can just burp on Comm and they burp yeah and they can do
17:20
different levels and and uh some people can just do incredible belching I've never been able to do the belching but
17:26
when I know one's coming I can let it rip if it comes I can make it Rip but I can't do one on command so this guy
17:32
obviously has the same ability as my friend was able to fart on command a small quiet fart he would liken it to a
17:39
bride on her wedding night and then a messy loud slop of a
17:44
fart was a same woman two weeks later that's
17:49
Brut wow this show was for adults only yeah a prolonged 10-second fart was
17:56
likened to a dress maker ripping a cloth in to and he even emulated the blast of a cannon with a loud burst from his butt
18:04
so the journalists of course came to the shows and they wrote people were literally writhing about women stuffed
18:10
in their corsets were being carried out by nurses people were laughing so hard that they were fainting and they had to
18:16
be carried out that's amazing later in his act he used the talent to smoke two
18:22
cigarettes at once I guess his pants were down in the rousing Finish to the show he would play famous tunes on an OK
18:30
Arena using a hose that channeled his farts into wind for the instrument so literally a wind instrument wow he
18:38
became an amazing success and at one point was the highest paid performer in all of France he stayed in Show Business
18:45
until after World War I when he retired from the stage to continue Life as a baker he died at the age of 88 and after
18:53
his death in medical school in Paris asked to examine his remains to help and understand how his anus performed the
18:58
Miracles it did his family declined by saying quote there are some things in this life which simply must be treated
19:05
with reverence they have a really low
19:11
standard for reverence I love how they had the family yeah family statements by
19:16
the family they're all standing there on Podium news conference and saying we're
19:22
we going to make a statement on the death of Jak can you imagine this was our dad this was somebody's Father Like
19:28
This was somebody's dad could you imagine his first date with somebody having to Broach this topic with
19:35
somebody that you know he's going on a date with or hey just so you know this is what I do he was the highest paid
19:41
performer in France at one point that's amazing yeah all because of that swimming trip if he never went swimming
19:48
that day I'm kind of speechless actually I don't know what to think of it I mean he just made lemonade out of lemons I
19:56
suppose oh wait I think we have a video what yeah stand by okay well it did say World
20:01
War I so I was wondering if maybe there might be some oldtime video Yeah here he is here Fen it on film in 1900 play it
20:09
for you here just one sec I share it this video Believe It or Not only has 334 views oh I see it is a silent but
20:16
funny film silent but violent silent but deadly so it kind of takes away the
20:22
purpose of obviously for our listening audience but let's just uh Jason you and I for the sake of right now we're
20:29
recording just take a look at what at least what he looked like and if you want to go on YouTube guys go ahead and
20:34
take a look at this is called so l e space p e t o m a n e farting on film
20:42
they did film it you see J yeah okay so there's the machine he's telling the audience to wait and he's leaning in
20:48
towards a megaphone he like no no no I've got more I've got more it looks like he's saying like he's waving his hands around and no he goes back into
20:55
the megaphone thing oh you like that one Tada done oh he's going back into it he's backing
21:00
into it he's lifting up his turn coat to not block the air wow wow that was the
21:06
real thing that was him performing in front of his studio audience man it's kind of like the performer at a rock
21:12
concert or whatever they put their hands to the ears and want the crowd or encourage the crowd to be louder and I
21:18
guess he' have to wait for the laughter and the Uproar laughter end so he could you know continue his show right okay
21:26
yeah speaking of success a lot of people like to over eat to gain their success in life you know we've all seen those
21:32
hot dog eating contests or whatever those food eating contests and a lot of
21:37
people make their money doing that so one man is Joey Chestnut who is one of
21:43
the most successful competitive eaters in the world he's held records and won competitions the world over including
21:49
the Feats of eating 32 double Patty hamburgers and 38 minutes jeez how oh
21:56
that's one Burger a minute yeah double Patty eating 74 hot dogs in 10 minutes
22:04
and 413 chicken wings in 12 hours the chicken wing one I'd be happy to
22:11
attempt I'm wondering if he's just going I'm just going to eat as many as I can until I can't eat anymore but those
22:18
other ones are obviously he's eating against other competitors right guessing
22:23
and so they have to do as many as they can within a period of time yeah his skills that overeating aren't for
22:29
nothing in 2010 Mr chest earned $218,500 for his eating prowess though
22:37
he admits that it isn't always easy after setting a new world record for Hot Dog Eating in 2018 he said about his
22:43
body afterward it's not pretty bro there have been some double
22:50
flushers I wonder if his poop would be eligible for the feal transplant I doubt
22:56
it I suspect he has no healthy bacteria left in his gut there's a picture of him
23:01
here wolfing down of all the pictures they could share that's not a good one good look
23:08
yeah and for our listeners he's not big no a lot of these heating guys actually
23:15
aren't they probably just do it for the sport and they don't eat that way obviously every day I don't know how they prep themselves I I don't know I
23:22
don't know how one trains to be this but remain thin yeah there are strategies I've seen you know a video here and
23:28
there over the years about these competitions there is a strategy it's too much for me man You' seen the film
23:35
stand by me right yeah remember the pie eating contest scene
23:41
yes yeah such a great scene they're talking about the fat getting the blueberry pie
23:47
or whatever it was then he ended up vomiting on everyone and every started I suspect there's a lot of
23:54
vomiting at these competitions oh okay get that lump in your throat a little bit bit you know yeah well after you
24:01
have a good meal sometimes you burp number six belching also Jason is a
24:07
sport the current record for the length of burp stands at 1 minute 13 seconds
24:13
this colossally long belch has gone unchallenged since 2009 a glorious sport
24:19
it is but not really one that pays so to make money in this competitive field requires being in the right place at the
24:25
right time like everything in life for some fortunate a few woman the right place was St Louis and the right time
24:31
was 2014 the call went out for actors to start in a soda company's new commercial
24:36
and the skill they needed above all was burping an ad went up on Craiglist offering to pay $750 for each actor as
24:43
well as drinks and snacks provided on the day of filming to help coax out the necessary belches the ad read burps of
24:50
any size are welcome from small quiet burps to monstrously loud belches
24:56
thankfully no previous acting experience was acquired all right so that's a okay one so they they had an ad say we'll pay
25:03
you money to come burp better the bigger the better but let's see if we can find that world record burp I hate burps
25:11
there's something about burping that just I agree I'm glad you bringing that up I'm the same way a silent fart always
25:18
smells worse a loud burp you're kind of like okay all right but but when people
25:24
are around me and they okay I'd rather hear a fart than a burp
25:32
I'm just going to say that there's something about funny about farts yes
25:37
I'd actually rather smell a fart than smell a burp yes there's something really disgusting about a burp and it
25:44
really is a I totally agree you and are on the same page I tell that to Becky and she's always confused by that okay
25:52
yeah my kids always say I don't understand why are you so bothered by burps I talk to your mouth and so to me
25:58
the mouth and that's what you're looking at when someone you when you're speaking to somebody so when they [Laughter]
26:07
go and we all have smelled we have all smell it's raw it it went right from
26:14
their mouth to your nose like there's no it was a direct hit there's no comedy in a burp no but
26:23
the funnyish about far that's just how I feel I'm the good good we might have a
26:30
few listeners who agree this apparently is the loudest burp the Guinness Book World this is from the Guinness Book World Records YouTube channel this guy
26:38
from Britain I guess okay H it's so gross all right I
26:48
can't I'd rather listen to a fart EAS me too me too I would laugh and not be
26:53
sickened okay talk about being sickened we're I'm not watching the video no either am I that was why we're not going
27:00
to watch this video professionally popping
27:07
pimples the standard recommendation for pimples is to resist the urge to pop them ourselves but rather to find an
27:14
overthe counter solution and failing that to visit a doctor for help they are
27:19
after all trained and can perform any required popping a sterile environment
27:24
but most of us ignore this advice despite the risks of scar an inection popular zits is a satisfying if
27:31
disgusted experience unlike most items on the list though being employed to perform this task isn't a limited
27:38
opportunity career there are tens of thousands of people being paid to do this disgusting
27:44
deed they are skin specialist doctors called dermatologists now not only is this a
27:50
lucrative career path on its own paining on average 345,000 a year in the United
27:55
States some doctors take it a step further there is that Dr Sandra Lee aka
28:01
the Dr pimple popper who hosts a YouTube channel where she displays particularly
28:07
difficult or fascinating Dermatological cases the channel has more than six
28:13
million subscribers I can't believe that many people more people watch the videos that's how many actually subscribe so
28:19
they don't miss any new content yes and there is content okay uh I and the
28:26
content is coming out of people's skin okay stop I can't I haven't seen I can
28:31
just visualize the amount okay every once in a while for some reason the algorithms will show me this person or
28:38
somebody doing that I never watch I don't want to see it no I guarantee you
28:44
out of those 6 million subscribers 95% of them are women yes girls for whatever
28:50
reason they love to watch this stuff I don't understand it I don't think very many guys watch this that would be an
28:56
interesting uh stat to find out and I would tend to agree there is uh some
29:01
innate evolutionary thing that's going on in that uh mind process of wanting to
29:08
see things get squished out of other people's skin well somebody did ask Dr
29:14
pimple Popp or why anyone watches this stuff yeah it says it's part Fascination part can't look away not unlike watching
29:22
a car accident there's also something satisfying in their resolution like something is being removed that should
29:27
be there and now the skin has been cleansed of an impurity I would rather watch a car accident any day I get the
29:36
uh part Fascination but other than that I'm not on board and well actually I'm more on board with the getting rid of
29:42
something that doesn't belong in there I understand that and that's oh sure yeah do you remember when I was a teenager I
29:47
had pimple pills Ryan you were always teased for your pimples all the brothers you had the
29:54
more I did have more acne than you guys and it's funny I look back and P piur I didn't I wasn't quite covered like the
30:00
way I thought I was I mean when you're younger you just feel like one pimple feels like a thousand yeah you'd always
30:06
bug me and say hey Ryan do you take your pimple pills yet like oh we we continuously teased you and even to this
30:13
day I bug you yeah you're like hey Ryan you popping pimples you know yeah like when I when I pH you up I like hey am I
30:20
interrupting your pimple popping here we are in our 40s I know I'm still teasing you if I
30:28
die before you I want you to say that Ryan's in the great Pon pop at his pimples you'll die before me so that and
30:35
I'll say that's what you get for making fun of me oh yeah that's karma karma if
30:40
you ever had a whitee head or anything I hate when people say don't squeeze that and I'm like no no you're not going to walk around nobody walks around with a
30:46
white head come on no one knowingly they rather have a
30:53
scar in the white head if my face was full of craters from pimple Popp and so
30:58
I said hey why why do you have so many craters on your face I said because I refused to walk around the white
31:04
bulbless balloon on my face I'd rather have a scar I'd rather have a scar
31:09
tissue than walk around for 5 seconds with a white bulb as pimple my face I
31:14
took matters in my own hand and I took care of it I had the scars to prove it the people that say that don't pop
31:21
pimples because of the scaring or people that don't have clear skin like shut up no or they're all Hypocrites yeah of
31:26
course nobody's never not popped the white head when they've seen it get out of here Jay you got number four oh I got number four okay yeah so money in
31:34
exchange for spit when researcher when researchers are trying to make genetic discoveries the classic approach would
31:40
be to find people with the disease then look for differences between their DNA and the DNA of someone without the
31:46
disease this can be an intensive process to find communicate with and finally sample the subject's DNA for the
31:53
research in other cases some companies rely on huge collections of DNA with associated data on the donors to
31:59
accurately trace the ancestry of a customer but it can also be difficult to maintain a library of DNA from all types
32:04
of people the world over so people don't usually line the S up to give away DNA samples for free so the answer to these
32:11
troubles is used by such companies as genos and DNA simple these companies will pay you for your spit or more
32:18
precisely the DNA contained within your spit and information about yourself another word would be saliva you don't
32:25
have to spit on the on the sample you could probably lick it this data can be used to help match researchers with the
32:31
right DNA donors easier so DNA simple pays a flat rate a $50 per sample and
32:38
genos offers to sequence your genome for around $500 and will then pay you $50 to
32:44
$200 if your DNA can be used for a scientific study while not a livelihood
32:50
there is more and more money to be made from people's saliva DNA simple secured
32:55
a $200,000 startup loan for from an investor in recent years and the industry is growing while some are
33:01
frustrated with the idea of being paid to participate in research Sharon Terry CEO of the genetic Alliance described
33:08
the situation by saying quote some people might think it's bad to put any kind of Commerce in health at all but
33:14
it's already in there we just don't have any part of it we patience everyone else makes a lot of money the researchers are
33:20
making money and they're getting the grants why not the people providing the spit perhaps the time has come to finally sell a valuable commodity we
33:27
didn't know we had or SLA or spit not too bad I mean like I said when you're giving these samples I'm sure they're
33:32
not giving you a cons swab and you just on it you're probably looking a those you know those strips things whatever
33:38
you call it yeah yeah spit in general if you're just thinking of spit I hate seeing people I was actually in the
33:44
lineup you know like you're outside waiting for the bank you know they have this all SPAC outside on the sidewalk
33:50
and the guy in front of me during this time of pandemic did a big spit and I'm
33:56
like um spitting is gross to begin with but to do it during this time of
34:03
covid-19 that we're dealing with that is really I was like you got to be kidding me I mean for research it makes sense
34:10
right to get people to help participate in research you have to pay them yeah spitting itself is gross I agree you see
34:17
in movies or TV shows when when somebody gets spit in the face by an angry person oh yeah I always like I really hope
34:23
that's fake I don't know how I don't I don't know how they do it yeah you have to pay me to be spit on I'll tell you
34:29
that much A lot of money a lot yeah there are people who get paid to scout
34:36
out bathrooms so we all need to use the bathroom usually a few times a day
34:41
sometimes desperately we're in a new city or an unfamiliar part of the town the urge strikes where do we go where's
34:47
the nearest bathroom will it be clean is there a bedet or toilet paper do they charge there's no time to answer these
34:55
questions when we're holding back the floodgates and with no guidance there's no telling what Unholy gas station
35:01
whr or side of the road Bush we may be forced to use it turns out knowing the
35:08
location and quality of nearby bathrooms is a service worth paying for and there are apps that will indeed pay for that
35:15
kind of information one app called toilet finder paid $20 for some restroom
35:21
reviews and $100 a week for regular copywriters writers contribute and
35:26
honestly so that their subject matter can't be used against them by friends and family reviews are accompanied by a
35:33
star rating from the reviewer in GPS location to help future bathroom goers to find the right place at the right
35:39
time apps like this and others have hundreds of thousands of bathrooms
35:44
logged and reviewed the world over it reminds me of a sfold episode I know you're not a sfold watcher but George he
35:50
would have loved this app because he always knew the best places to pee at work and in public that were not used
35:57
that were usually clean George would have been a great candidate for this app
36:02
and or creating this app I wonder if those who made the app watch Seinfeld
36:07
because that was in the 9s this character came up with the idea to know where all the best bathrooms were see
36:13
that's the thing though this is the key is that people may be able to find where these spots are but at some point if it
36:20
becomes a popular location the star rating for that particular bathroom that secret bathroom that nobody is aware of
36:27
might become degraded could be a great spot one day and then two weeks later now that everybody knows about it hey
36:35
we're on this together we're using this app let's let's keep the Integrity of these toilets thankfully a lot of the
36:40
gas station bathrooms nowadays do a pretty good job at providing a fairly
36:46
clean environment of course it can't always be because you just don't know you could follow somebody that bathroom
36:53
wasn't cleaned up afterwards they are doing a fairly good job and you know the signs are in the bathroom please leave
37:00
the place respectable for the next person who's coming in or they'll say let us know if there's a something to
37:07
deal with in here we'll take care of it yeah yeah I'm on the road quite often I commute quite a bit from job site to job
37:14
site and we have found on our route where decent washrooms are this is a a
37:21
useful app I would think during this covid experience a lot of bathrooms have
37:27
been closed down but a lot of these bathrooms that we used to enjoy they've all been shut let's give a shout out to
37:34
our Long Haul truck drivers who uh yeah they got their uh Tim hence opening up
37:40
for them specifically so they can use washrooms and the general public haven't been able to use the Tim or washrooms
37:47
but the truck drivers have that's good if you have a friend that's Long Haul truck driver tell them about the worst of the best podcast CU I tell you that
37:53
kills time for these guys listening to podcast and they'll learn about this app if they don't know about it that's right
37:59
number two the regurgitating a living usually most people don't like to vomit
38:06
I would say the majority of the people on Earth don't like or enjoy vomiting the acid the half- digested food the
38:13
smell we we get it you know nothing about the experience is enjoyable and this disgusting bodily function is
38:18
something that most of us would do in all our power to Avid I think my last two flu attacks Jay I've done without
38:25
puking and the pain that I'm in I'll hold it in I know if I go throw up it'll feel better but I hate it so much that
38:31
I'll literally keep it in and I'm like dying in pain as my body fights this virus I'm almost proud of myself like
38:38
yeah I beat this flu without puking I would rather suffer a little bit longer than vomit I don't know if anyone else
38:44
has this battle they battle as long as they can without going to the to I know I'll feel better if I just go to the toilet and vomit but I like not vomiting
38:52
so much that I would rather suffer with the pain in my stomach that is fascinating as much much as I hate the
38:58
idea of vomiting as much as I hate the idea of being sick or watching somebody else throw up and be sick I try to throw
39:06
up because I cannot handle the feeling of being nauseous yeah you do feel better when it's I know it's one of
39:11
those things where if I can't hold anymore and I I get it done I'm like okay I'm glad I did this but it's that initial like the first one's coming the
39:17
first one that first it's always that it's a little scary it's like here we go here we go and I woke up the next day
39:24
and I feel like I did like a thousand crunches yeah yeah yeah we learned what goes in should
39:30
not come back out the same way but for one man regurgitating what he had swallowed was a novelty he discovered as
39:36
a child that's a scary childhood can you imagine walking on your kid practicing
39:41
this technique of putting things in his mouth and spitting them up what he used to do though was he hid coins from other
39:47
children in his throat because he realized if he had money in his stomach they wouldn't find
39:53
it he found that he could bring it back up again what the so weird I mean it's like the guy that farted for
40:00
entertainment same sort of at a young age accidentally came across his talent
40:06
and now they're getting paid to I mean how poor is this family he got one of the siblings hiding money from his
40:12
brothers he's like I'm swallowing this quarter I'm sorry he couldn't just think of putting it under a rock in the
40:18
yard yeah it's weird but then he's like oh man now I swallowed this quarter how
40:24
do I get oh here it is but yeah like you said J this was a skill that he put to use in show business so Mr Stevie star I
40:31
don't think that's his real name has used his ability to put on Ax on television shows like America's Got Talent and late night programs with Jay
40:38
lenel and David Letterman as well as Live tours so among the objects he swallows are light bulbs coins
40:44
thumbtacks and Billiard balls a performance of just swallowing and UNS swallowing would quickly grow redundant
40:51
so he took it to a higher level he also swallows a cup of sugar followed by a cup of water and then he'll regurgitate
40:57
the suar sugar dry as a bone this is an illusion he'll also swallow 10 numbered
41:03
coins then ask the audience to choose the order they return what he swalls and regurgitates isn't limited to the
41:08
inanimate in some performance he'll consume two live fish at the start of the show and then bring them back out
41:14
perfectly healthy at the end this is becoming a trick acid stomach that would
41:19
not bring up to live fish or healthy fish I don't know how you can
41:25
regurgitate sugar dry or two life fish an hour after your show two life fish
41:31
actually funny enough is the failed spin-off rap group from two life
41:37
crew stupid all right you got the last one Jay yeah okay professional finger
41:44
licker wanted in polite company licking our fingers after a meal is usually
41:49
frowned upon but for a company that has a advertise fingerl looking good chicken for years The Habit was a badge of honor
41:56
the restaurant ch chain Kentucky Fried Chicken has recently started a campaign to find the most highly qualified finger
42:02
liquor in the world to be the new face for their upcoming ad series their announcement on Twitter asked have you
42:09
ever caught yourself liing your fingers and thought to yourself I'd look decent
42:14
doing that on a billboard the ongoing search is asking prospective professional finger lickers to submit a
42:21
Twitter with the hashtag KFC fry me with a 280 character or less explanation of
42:29
why their finger licking skills are worthy of the cause I like so many items on this list this one could still be
42:36
about you and then KFC's followup tweet says for the love of God please keep it
42:41
PG that a funny one let's just go look right now KFC FR me I think the idea is
42:49
to hire me but KFC FR me all right so let's uh go to Twitter real quick let's just see if we get any hashtags here's
42:56
some uh KFC fry me Ash 444d said I once fed a homeless person in my KFC and the
43:03
smile on his face made me so happy I went and bought him another Oh I thought they were going to say I went and licked his fingers yeah that would have been
43:10
better at Chris skirt said I've got really long
43:16
fingers silly I can imagine this went really bad yeah the colonel came to me
43:23
in a dream he said I was the chosen one can't argue with that someone said here 20 Wing Bucket was my
43:30
dessert after a Mega Box large popcorn chicken extra strip and two tubs of large
43:38
gravy did they have room to lick their fingers after all that I will say about the KFC they're pretty clever with their
43:45
social media they only follow 11 people because of their secret herbs and spices
43:50
yeah 11 herbs and spices they have 1.4 million followers KFC only follow
43:57
follows 11 people they follow the five Spice Girls and six guys named
44:03
[Laughter] herb oh that's good yeah they literally
44:10
follow Jerry Melanie Emma melc Victoria Beckham the five Spice Girls and then
44:16
herb shrier herb Wesson herb Waters Herb Dean herb sendic and Herb Albert there
44:23
we go that is 10 things where people have or to currently make money off
44:29
things that basically when I say discussing habits things that you wouldn't necessarily want to watch people do but people get paid to do it
44:37
so Jason how this is going to work is of those 10 Things I know you don't really want to do any of them necessarily right
44:43
but of those 10 things let's just say you were going to be paid whatever the
44:50
amount but the amount is the same for every activity so the amount will be the same for every activity which one would
44:57
you say of all these 10 I need more money for this activity you got to pay me more everything else is a million
45:03
dollars let's say per activity but you're going to have to pay me more than a million to do this activity what so
45:08
whatever that amount is so let's review professional finger liquor regurgitating
45:14
bathroom Scout money in exchange for spit professional popping pimples
45:20
burping for cash overeating artsy fartsy and then fast food for w g and pooping
45:29
for profit problem there's one that I don't think I'm capable of doing and there's one I don't want to do some of
45:35
them aren't so bad you know sure if somebody wants to watch me fart on stage I'll fart on stage whatever ha yeah I'll
45:42
get paid to fart on stage I would eat 400 chicken wings in 12 hours try to
45:48
whatever it's gross but I would do that if I was capable of regurgitating the
45:53
activity I would like to do the least is popping on the PES I agreed yeah because
45:59
you know things like burping for cash that's me burping I'm less threatened by
46:05
my own burps hearing somebody else's burp but yes popping other people's pimples for money that would be the one
46:12
that I would not want to participate in we're in agreement I think it's their first time yeah it might be this's a
46:19
first time for everything yeah there is all right well Jason thank you so much for coming on the show I I hope everyone
46:25
has not lost their opport TI and made it to the end I think it's worth coming to the end that was fun thanks Ryan
46:32
remember in front of every Silver Lining there's a cloud and we're here to help you find it thanks again everybody
46:39
[Music]
47:03
Gator Productions all right Jay that's it all right that was good I enjoyed it nice
47:10
