Sam [00:00:22]:
Hello, and welcome to episode 484 of The Chris and Sam podcast.
Chris [00:00:26]:
I’m Chris.
Sam [00:00:27]:
And I’m Sam. Welcome along to weekly flicks of randomness technology and life brought to you by 2 random people in Hamilton and New And. Chlamydia free, I hope.
Chris [00:00:37]:
I’m pretty sure. For me. Speaking for me.
Sam [00:00:42]:
If if you did have it, I think it would have died out a long, long time ago.
Chris [00:00:47]:
Yeah. Yeah. It’s just not go there. Alright. So how’s your week been? What have you been up to?
Sam [00:00:54]:
I have I have no idea what I’ve been doing. I think I’ve had when did we last record?
Chris [00:01:00]:
We recorded just after I got back from from Napier on Friday.
Sam [00:01:05]:
That’s right. I had a couple of days of work and then, a lot of time off. And then my computer decided to completely die, which is fun. Yeah. Because because it just gives you like a random error message and when you start researching these things, there’s about 400 different things it could be. So I took an educated guess on what to do first and, that was to replace the whole hard drive, do a fresh install of Windows. And, it seems everything’s okay. I’ve just got to download and reinstall everything.
Chris [00:01:37]:
Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Yeah. No. That’s cool. Yeah.
Chris [00:01:40]:
I it it seems like it was not that long ago since we last recorded, so I don’t have a lot of things that I’ve done since then. I’ve done a lot of editing on that bleeding podcast that I recorded in May.
Sam [00:01:53]:
Pilot pilot podcast, which is called?
Chris [00:01:56]:
Pilot podcast, which is called The Intercept. And so, yeah, I’ve just gotta put a bit of, proposal together in terms of what they’re gonna have to do to fund me going forward with that. But, yeah, The I I’m reasonably happy. Did you ever listen to it? Just curious.
Sam [00:02:11]:
I listened to the intro. Alright. It’s as far as, like well, because I chris play on my phone, and it was the little Google Drive play thing. And then I got busy. But, the intro was really good.
Chris [00:02:24]:
Yeah. All good.
Sam [00:02:25]:
I was like, you know Yeah. That was good. I didn’t hear any of the interview yet.
Chris [00:02:28]:
Oh, okay. Alright. Yeah. No. It’s alright. I think it’s alright. It’s funny too because, where we were in the room, it’s a compound off like a main highway. Mhmm.
Chris [00:02:38]:
But it was it’s a quiet building. We’re in a conference room. Didn’t I personally didn’t notice any road noise at all when we were in that room talking. When you get the headphones on and you’ve got The and you’re editing it, the microphone picks all that crap up.
Sam [00:02:58]:
Okay. I will I’ll have a listen to the, that bit of it.
Chris [00:03:02]:
Yeah. Yeah. I did. It’s I I I don’t I’m not worried about it. But I am pushing them to use a a better studio in future and actual studio in future. But it’s cool. So I have got a couple of stories. I’ve I got this and, from originally, I saw this link on on LinkedIn.
Chris [00:03:25]:
Right? So there’s a little video on LinkedIn from a an American sheriff. Now it was shared by sir Ray Avery. Do you know who that dude is?
Sam [00:03:34]:
Yeah. He’s the dude with all the incubator things.
Chris [00:03:36]:
Yeah. And he’s got some interesting views on things. He’s really a little bit I I don’t know. I don’t wanna say right wing. He’s just weird. He just comes up with these things. So he shared this, thing from, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco. And Chad goes off, and I’m I’ve got a a a story in front of me rather than the video, but it’s talking about the video.
Chris [00:04:02]:
And he’s he’s put this on his personal Instagram, appearing in uniform seemingly in a department vehicle. And it he is quite sarcastic, which is really weird for Americans. They’re not very sarcastic usually. You’re right? Yep. So they’re not really very sarcastic normally. So he he goes on and on, and he’s talking about, you know, how, the governor, California governor Gavin Newsom Yeah. Is, you know, slash law enforcement budgets, and they close prisoner prisons, and they’ve let criminals out of detention early. And it’s all about the, you know, he’s on the wrong side of the law effectively.
Chris [00:04:43]:
And so, this this sheriff goes, I’m changing sides. It’s just not good enough. I’m changing sides. We want Trump in the White House for 2024.
Sam [00:04:55]:
I I yeah. I thought
Chris [00:04:57]:
It’s time to put a felon in the White House. And I’m like, my brain exploded. I was like, what are you talking about? You’re talking about the problem of getting criminals on the street, and then you want to elect and? I don’t get it. But this is what got me. He’s going on about his budget being slashed in there. Yeah. There’s a a open budget tool that they have in the The so they can see. Do you know how much the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department budget is?
Sam [00:05:28]:
It’d be mind blowing. Mind blowing. 20,000,000.
Chris [00:05:31]:
I I’m gonna read this out because I don’t believe chris, and it doesn’t give how much this budget is for, like, how long a period.
Sam [00:05:39]:
Oh, I’m getting there. True.
Chris [00:05:41]:
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department budget has increased more than 270,000,000 since 2019 when Bianco was sworn in.
Sam [00:05:51]:
Woah.
Chris [00:05:52]:
290,000,000 for account what the what are they doing with this money? Apparently, this guy is getting paid more than the governor because he managed to give him this is from Reddit chat, so I don’t know how real this is. He’s managed to give himself a 25% pay rise at some point.
Sam [00:06:11]:
The, then, of course. So he actually
Chris [00:06:13]:
gets paid better more than the governor of of California, because sheriff should be able to do that. And, he apparently, one of his deputies was done for bringing a a crapload of meth or fentanyl or whatever from, some cartel, and The sort of got swept under the rug, but there was a bit of a stink about it. So, you know, yeah, he’s the right person to, vote you know, recommend people vote Trump into The White House. Anyway, I I just thought that I would share that.
Sam [00:06:47]:
Anything with Trump gets so, Chris, so excited. I was gonna say chubbed up. That might be the wrong word.
Chris [00:06:53]:
It’s it’s definitely The wrong word. Actually, on The, I did have something else to know. Didn’t I? Did you? I, just on that whole thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So just because it was sort of related, I put in the same thing. This woman’s, on a jury, I think it was a woman, she’s been dismissed as a juror because some woman came to her house and gave her a bag of $120,000
Sam [00:07:22]:
Oh, wow.
Chris [00:07:23]:
And said, we’ll come around and you get more if if if you acquit the person. So the jury the juror sort of told the judge, well, I assume she brought in the money and said, somebody gave me a $120,000. So she’s been dismissed from the case.
Sam [00:07:40]:
Well, that’s good.
Chris [00:07:41]:
But she’s she’s in danger. But, I mean, I would think she’s in danger because anyone who’s gonna give a $120,000
Sam [00:07:50]:
yeah. Anyway But The has to be a calculated risk on their part.
Chris [00:07:53]:
Oh, yeah. I’m gonna tell you about the case though because it it’s it’s just my this is why I
Sam [00:07:58]:
added The. Okay. Okay.
Chris [00:07:59]:
The the dollars things in America just boggle the mind, you know, just in general. So a juror I’m gonna read this. A juror is dismissed Monday after reporting that a woman dropped a bag of and 120 1,000 cash at her home and offered her more money if she would vote to acquit 7 people charged with stealing more than 40,000,000 from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic.
Sam [00:08:21]:
Woah.
Chris [00:08:23]:
So the assistant DA basically said, this is completely beyond the pale. It’s outrageous behavior, the stuff that happens in mob movies. These and are the first of 70 defendants expected to go to trial in a conspiracy that cost taxpayers 250,000,000. and others have pleaded guilty, and authorities say they have recovered about 50,000,000 in one of the nation’s largest pandemic related fraud cases. I I’m sorry. It’s just those numbers. Like, in New Zealand, we’re talking about a million here and a million there, and it’s a big deal. And, man.
Sam [00:09:05]:
Well, I think I think the story this week was a, a teacher at a Maori school had stolen $30,000 from them. Yes. She got The for that. Hey. The New Zealand Defence Force has got a dog mannequin. Any ideas why?
Chris [00:09:22]:
To teach, CPR on it?
Sam [00:09:26]:
Yeah. A bit more than that. But, yeah. Basically medical training, for their dogs if they get injured, how to, work on them in the field and, this dog can bark, whimper, and bleed all at a press of a button.
Chris [00:09:40]:
Oh, wow.
Sam [00:09:41]:
It’s made by I don’t know. It’s not made by those people we saw at field days with those fake animals.
Chris [00:09:47]:
Yeah. I don’t
Sam [00:09:48]:
think I don’t think it’s The. But it is made by a company called PracMedNZ from Tauranga. And, yeah. This dog, they can put IV lines in and all sorts of stuff. They can check for pulse airway management. CPR, of course, has, flexible joints. Yeah. Bleeding wounds and all sorts of stuff that they may have to deal with.
Sam [00:10:12]:
Now how many dogs does the New Zealand Defense Force have?
Chris [00:10:18]:
I have no idea, but it’s it’s a more common thing than you think.
Sam [00:10:22]:
Well, in 2020, they had 12. 12 dogs
Chris [00:10:26]:
Okay.
Sam [00:10:26]:
That work across different strands, I guess, or different things. So they’ve got some that are, from what I can tell, there’s definitely explosive handling explosive detecting dogs. That’s probably a big one.
Chris [00:10:39]:
Yeah. Because, I you just reminded me of a a little, I think it was a reel a YouTube reel or whatever, that I I saw the other day, and it just cracked me up a little bit. And it the guy was telling a story. He was like, he was a special forces operator or whatever. Right. And I don’t think he was in that team, but he was at the base or on the, on the comms or whatever. And he said that they sent these guys in, and they were there to get rid of a high value target. And it was a oh, no.
Chris [00:11:12]:
No. It wasn’t. Oh, The might have been, but it was a village, and there was lot lot of, you know, civilians there, but there was this one building filled with all these bad guys, terrorists.
Sam [00:11:23]:
Oh, yeah.
Chris [00:11:25]:
Back in Iraq days, I think it was. So they sent set I think and special operators and 5 dogs with them. Yeah. The. Yeah.
Sam [00:11:34]:
That’s the one.
Chris [00:11:34]:
Yeah. That’s the one. So they went in. He said that that was cool. They they went and. They cleared the building. They they took out every single one of the bad guys and just left. And they were in and out, like, in no no time at all.
Chris [00:11:48]:
And it’s apparently, it’s part of the process that they then watch from satellite imagery and drone footage and listen, you know, because I I get a little bit and they they’re listening to comms and all that of what happens.
Sam [00:12:03]:
Okay.
Chris [00:12:03]:
And afterwards, the whole block they had a big block party. All these guys are out partying because they’ve been under the thumb of these guys for ages. Alright. And then they intercepted some things. What happened last night? Somebody goes, there were all these ninjas and and a bunch of lions came.
Sam [00:12:22]:
And that is yep. That is how, like, a urban legend or a fable is made.
Chris [00:12:29]:
Yeah. Exactly. I love
Sam [00:12:31]:
that. Anyway.
Chris [00:12:34]:
Sorry. Carry on.
Sam [00:12:36]:
Oh, no. I thought you would have, just, got got gone into your, other your CPR related thing here.
Chris [00:12:42]:
Yeah. So I’ve got this anti choking device, and I I’ve got a link to a video on, LinkedIn. We’ll put it in the show notes. But, basically, this device is interesting, although I find nothing about it. So it’s one of those ego. Is this just a fake video? You you know, like
Sam [00:13:00]:
Well, I I clicked on it, and if you go to their website, it’s quite detailed, and they’ve got a wall of survivors. There’s a photo No.
Chris [00:13:07]:
No. No. That’s the life vaque. That’s real. And I think that The.
Sam [00:13:12]:
What are you talking about?
Chris [00:13:13]:
The the one in the LinkedIn video.
Sam [00:13:15]:
I didn’t watch that. I thought it was the same thing.
Chris [00:13:17]:
No. I initially, I thought it was the same thing. But the LinkedIn video is interesting because it’s, it’s effectively a powered one. The life hack is really cool, and I’ll talk about both. But the the LinkedIn video, basically, you put it on the mask on somebody’s face. Sam they’re choking, put the mask on somebody’s face. You press a button and that pops the thing back, which creates a big amount of suction and pulls whatever’s choking out of your mouth. Yeah.
Chris [00:13:46]:
Which is really clever because it’s hard to do something by yourself. Like, there is a way to do a self Heimlich maneuver, but it’s pretty difficult. I mean, it’s difficult enough doing the Heimlich maneuver on somebody else, but doing it on yourself is really hard.
Sam [00:14:02]:
Back back thrust to what they suggest now if you’ve done a modern, first aid course, Chris. Heimlich’s out. They don’t usually do that.
Chris [00:14:10]:
Okay. What’s your back thrust?
Sam [00:14:12]:
You beat the shit out of someone’s back. You hit him in the back as hard as humanly possible. If you’re choking yourself, you throw yourself backwards into a wall. Or a Heimlich on yourself as back of a chair down on it.
Chris [00:14:25]:
Yeah. So, anyway, so I thought that I saw that LinkedIn thing first, and then I ended up there was somebody shared the life back, and I actually asked somebody else, and they also shared the life back. So life hack’s been going for quite a while, and I think it’s a great idea. It’s more manual. So you’re effectively like up using a plunger.
Sam [00:14:46]:
Imagine a little toilet plunger, the little perforated type of and in your yeah. Little one.
Chris [00:14:52]:
Yeah. Like a little accordion one. Yeah. Yeah.
Sam [00:14:54]:
Yeah. That’s on.
Chris [00:14:55]:
So you you but you put that over somebody’s mouth. And in that life fact, there’s a video of a child choking in a restaurant. No. So it’s got the video footage from The restaurant. And, you know, people don’t realize what’s happening. There there was a there was a news story sort of cutting from the video to the interview, and people didn’t realize what was happening at first. And this guy, this big guy just get up and walks out to his truck, comes back with this thing, puts the I think it was like a 2 year old baby or whatever The the table and saves its life with this life back.
Sam [00:15:27]:
Yeah. Yeah.
Chris [00:15:27]:
And he was like, I’ve had that thing in my truck for two and a half years and never used it.
Sam [00:15:32]:
Yeah. I’ve never seen one of these before ever until you shared this link.
Chris [00:15:36]:
Yeah. And it’s it’s it’s so simple. It’s, yes. You’d need some training, but, it’s intuitive. And they should be in in restaurants. They should have them in restaurants. They should have them in, certain care facilities. You know? And it just makes a lot of sense.
Chris [00:15:58]:
The only reason I like the LinkedIn one a little bit better, because I think the life pack would be difficult to use on yourself, but it still be
Sam [00:16:05]:
easier. Yeah.
Chris [00:16:06]:
But it still be easier than other things.
Sam [00:16:08]:
The trick would be to, stop yourself from freaking out too much.
Chris [00:16:12]:
Yeah.
Sam [00:16:12]:
To then remember to go get something to put on your mouth.
Chris [00:16:15]:
Yep. Oh, absolutely. Anyway, so I thought I’d check that out. We’ll have those links in the show notes. Check them out because I think a good idea. And the LifeVac itself is, from Netherlands, and it’s that’s been going for years years, like, 10 years, I think.
Sam [00:16:30]:
Yeah. Yeah. Pretty good. And they last for a while. Like, it says, you just have to replace the mouthpiece, I think, after 3 years or something?
Chris [00:16:40]:
Yeah. It’ll be just the rubber will start going funny after Probably. Yeah. I imagine. Yeah.
Sam [00:16:45]:
I learned about this thing today earlier. There was a research platform called Flip, f l I p.
Chris [00:16:53]:
Right.
Sam [00:16:54]:
And it’s it it was because they scrapped it in 2023 because for them to carry on it was going to cost $8,000,000, for another 5 years worth of, using this vessel. So imagine a big boat basically or ship. It’s 355 feet long. It weighed 700 tons. And it had, like, a bridge bit at the very end. And
Chris [00:17:18]:
At the back?
Sam [00:17:20]:
Well, at the The, I guess. And it was the only vessel in the world that went from a horizontal to a vertical position in The And down. I and down. I don’t know what they used it for. I just saw this picture and I thought oh it was pretty interesting. Well it was research so I think it means they could go down the hull, which was flooded, and sort of go out and do whatever they wanted to do. So it was almost like a portable
Chris [00:17:51]:
tower. Yeah.
Sam [00:17:53]:
Yeah. Yeah. But it’s not powered. It had to get towed out. That’s the funny thing. So it’s
Chris [00:17:57]:
That’s weird. Yeah. Yeah. Because it’s you could see it being used either side. Like, either you’re lifting up high at the front end or you’re going underwater down to the bottom that you with potentially rooms that can see out into the water and. Yeah. Sam go out. Okay.
Chris [00:18:19]:
That’s that’s, that’s pretty bizarre.
Sam [00:18:22]:
Yeah. I’ll have a link to it so you can check out that photo.
Chris [00:18:24]:
Yeah. Okay. I’ll check that out. I wanted to to I I again, on the American thing a little bit. Well, not really. I’m just making everything about America these days. So the Americans piss me off because they always go on about, we’re the founders of democracy or whatever, and and their democracy is like crap. Because the last person to win the, The the people that keep winning elections aren’t the ones that win the popular vote anyway, because they have that whole gerrymandered electoral election electoral college thing.
Chris [00:18:59]:
Anyway, I found the the ultimate, the ultimate election, democracy. There’s an Italian village near Turin, called Ingria, and it has 46 residents, and 30 of them are up for local election candidates the candidates in local elections for a variety of of positions. But there is I mean, there’s a mother and son that are, like, beating it out head to head for something as well.
Sam [00:19:36]:
What? Okay. Like, it’s mental.
Chris [00:19:39]:
Yeah. I but that’s hilarious. And, you know, that’s that’s that’s that’s that’s democracy. Might be democracy gone bad, but there’s democracy.
Sam [00:19:50]:
They’ve got a tooth growing drug trial is about to begin soon. So they’ve been doing it on ferrets because that’s what you want to do. And this is happening at Kyoto, University Hospital next year. And they’re gonna treat some people that have missing teeth. And they’re going to basically get the body the idea is to start regrowing The teeth. It’s a drug trial and it basically there’s a hormone or, protein which suppresses tooth growth and they’re gonna block it. And that’s gonna hopefully signal, this morphogenetic protein which will trigger new bones to generate. And I’ve done it in ferrets and I’ve had some teeth growth.
Sam [00:20:41]:
And when it’s reading here, it was like sam of these people are missing like at least 4 front teeth. Be interesting, if this works. I’m not sure. Like because you’d also want to, potentially. You’d have to stop it as well. Because if you’ve got it grown really well, your body might keep carrying away.
Chris [00:21:00]:
Coming out. Yeah. You’ve got looking like and orc from, yeah. Yeah. Actually, it’s funny because I got a a story here. Osteo on, odontokeratoprosthesis, chris o k p, and it again, it’s a link, to a a LinkedIn thing. But the video shows a an actual procedure called The. I’m not gonna try and say it again.
Chris [00:21:26]:
And what they do is they take a tooth so it’s for people with cataracts, and they take a tooth out. So I was like, sure The you just take a piece of the tooth. But apparently, they take tooth out or a piece of the jaw out, and they, they put it into your cheek.
Sam [00:21:44]:
And creating a problematic lens. Yeah.
Chris [00:21:47]:
They they create a lens, a a an actual an artificial lens. So they cut a hole in it, put a lens in it, then they put it into your cheek so that it builds blood vessels and it becomes alive.
Sam [00:22:03]:
Okay. Then
Chris [00:22:04]:
they put it after a few weeks when the blood vessels are are set up and it’s it’s there, they attach it to your eyeball, and it works. And it’s
Sam [00:22:14]:
just The sounds that sounds craz
Chris [00:22:17]:
Weirdest thing because it’s crazy. Right?
Sam [00:22:19]:
Chris is the thing they wanna tell you about. Imagine the things they’re doing that they haven’t told you about.
Chris [00:22:24]:
I know. But and this is not new. This has been around for a while, apparently.
Sam [00:22:29]:
Okay.
Chris [00:22:30]:
Holy crap. I guess I’d give up a tooth to, be able to see, but it’s not the ideal. I wonder if you can do both of these things and concept. I’ll grow back another tooth.
Sam [00:22:44]:
Yeah. That’s right. That’s right. That’d be good. Did you see that dude the other week who got injured when his Tesla got delivered? He basically cut him he basically cut himself on the sharp edge of the stainless truck. Right? And it’s basically I didn’t realize that they’re not allowed to resell the truck. Like, that’s a thing that Tesla put in the contract. So they put a deposit down.
Sam [00:23:09]:
They paid whatever for the silly truck. And then they’re not allowed to sell it for a year, I think it is. So that’s sort of why some people were just like, what are we gonna do with these things? So, yeah, there’s a whole bunch of people that injure themselves. That’s crazy.
Chris [00:23:25]:
Yeah. That that that’s a disaster, that truck, honestly. I’ll tell you what isn’t a disaster. Yeah. The the coolest conference you would have ever gone to. I think it’s coming up, actually. It’s the 1st annual Space Piracy Conference. It’s gonna be examining the threats of the threats of orbital crime and smuggling.
Sam [00:23:49]:
Oh, man. You know that’s our next business venture.
Chris [00:23:55]:
While crime and piracy in space are, at this point, largely theoretical problems
Sam [00:24:00]:
Really? Of
Chris [00:24:00]:
view is now The is the time to start thinking about the issue and discussing The, yeah, it’s, it’s oh, it’s early next year. This thing is a 2 day invite only symposium that brings together experts prepared to review crime, piracy, and smuggling in space. I don’t know. I just saw the the the thing, and I’m like, I wanna go. We we should we should go to interview them. That’s
Sam [00:24:31]:
that’s true. I’m on their website now. I’m gonna judge them on how well this website looks. Okay, please.
Chris [00:24:36]:
I didn’t look at The.
Sam [00:24:37]:
It’s taking a sweet, sweet time. Alright. Chris okay. It’s okay. The Center For the Study of Space Chris, Piracy, and Governance. That’s the website. And oh, it’s happening next year. 11th to 12 tentative dates.
Sam [00:24:51]:
And it’s gonna be at the US Naval Academy. 200 attendees.
Chris [00:24:55]:
It’d be Space Force. Space Force will we put in The?
Sam [00:24:58]:
Well, we have to this is which one of these do we fit into? Space industry or commerce, defense, commercial investment banking, insurance, military and intelligence, law, and international relations. So that gotta be The last one. International relations will go along.
Chris [00:25:14]:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Plus, you know, randomness technology and everything. It it it it it works.
Sam [00:25:21]:
I just can’t imagine them all sitting around The to them, and expert going, when the pirate sheet kicks off, you know, we’ve gotta be at the forefront of this. And America’s like, yeah. That’d be great.
Chris [00:25:32]:
Have to turn up with a parrot on your shoulder, wouldn’t you? You just would. Somebody would.
Sam [00:25:36]:
I don’t know how how intense it would be. Like, on one hand, I think it would be good if it was just a little bit funny. Like, it’s a serious topic. It should.
Chris [00:25:46]:
Yeah. It’s a serious conference, but you should have a totally have a pirate themed, party at the end of it
Sam [00:25:52]:
or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They probably will. They probably will.
Chris [00:25:57]:
That’s awesome. That’s awesome. I I I need to talk about this a little bit. This is, I don’t know. It it’s just hilarious to me. So if you’ve got kids, maybe you don’t wanna The,
Sam [00:26:14]:
playing The same be hilarious to them.
Chris [00:26:16]:
It won’t won’t won’t be.
Sam [00:26:18]:
I don’t even know what it is, but every time you do one of these, it’s terrible.
Chris [00:26:22]:
Okay. So, I I’m just gonna read the story. I won’t tell you the the headline because it gives it away, I guess. Father Thomas McHale, a priest serving at our Blessed Lady Immaculate Church in Consett, Durham Durham, this is in Ireland.
Sam [00:26:37]:
Yep.
Chris [00:26:37]:
It’s said to have made a claim during The sermon made the claim during a sermon on Good Friday. According to the The, the 53 year old told up to a 100 shot parishioners that the blood rushing to Christ’s lower body as a result of being crucified would have caused an erection. Father McHale’s service sermon prompted a complaint to his diocese diocese, but the complaint was upheld, but he wasn’t fired. Honestly, I
Sam [00:27:07]:
It’s a weird opinion, I think.
Chris [00:27:09]:
I don’t
Sam [00:27:09]:
know. More The more than anything. Like, just in general, it’s just weird.
Chris [00:27:13]:
I’m like, he’s semiscientific. Well, the blood has to pull, and it goes downwards. And he’s crucified, so he’s upwards. So But
Sam [00:27:23]:
the body I think
Chris [00:27:24]:
it might likely get swollen feet, to be fair, but, Adam might be able to, chime in on this. He’s had a lot more medical training than me. But but Chris would have had a an erection when he was, crucified.
Sam [00:27:39]:
I think The I think the pain would overtake anything else in the body. Like, their blood could be pooling down, whatever. But
Chris [00:27:48]:
Well, no. He would have been dying with an erection is what he said. He died with an erection.
Sam [00:27:54]:
Okay. And where does The story go? Like, what is the what
Chris [00:27:57]:
is the a long story.
Sam [00:27:58]:
I just read you the books. No. There’s what’s the teachings from that? There’s gotta be something.
Chris [00:28:03]:
Yeah. How does that fit in the sermon? I have no idea. I just all I can think is this priest is sitting around way too much time on his and, thinking thoughts that probably maybe he shouldn’t be thinking. I don’t know. It’s just
Sam [00:28:17]:
If you if you are if you are in that situation, though, and say you’ve been doing it for more than 10 years or 500 podcast episodes worth, you probably do run out of stuff to talk about.
Chris [00:28:30]:
The servants. Yeah. I guess.
