00:00:04| if you had to give up one of your senses well the big everyone's gonna say smell smell it said with a very negative connotation today we're gonna try and turn the turn things around we're gonna
00:00:21| mention how smell doesn't quite stink join us so I'm Dan and I'm Nick books for old friends dissecting one topic at a time people technology media we've got it all covered each discussion here is a
00:00:40| deep dive in or unique perspective taboo forbidden subjects they're all on the chopping block baby we don't pander to popular opinion with Mike you can get a little bit dirty morning this podcast
00:00:54| may contain mature language and sexual content and this for entertainment purposes only so join us have a good time open up your earholes [Music]
00:01:19| all right Wow nice interesting mask did you know skeletons are the only creatures that have no sense of smell no sense of smell but they have but they have a smell themselves right yes they
00:01:38| do okay is there anything it doesn't have a smell is that do we do enough research to know that on off the fly on the fly I don't think we did space oh well
00:01:51| basically I can't want lack of particles did you know well run it well first I love to start with a Wikipedia definition thanks for joining us folks we're talking about smell today mm-hmm
00:02:04| you know so if one of your friends is like we're going to the bathroom you guys wanna means do you want to smell some cool smells in the bit I say go with them smell by definition is the
00:02:15| faculty or power of perceiving odors or scents by means of the organs in the news olfaction it's those are really talk what smell is that's like literally saying smell it's
00:02:28| being able to smell yeah it's what particulate that's been kicked up in the air and you you're you have what receptors that catch those and bind to them and then you figure out what
00:02:41| combination of those things is actually the thing you're smelling has to be an odor so I looked up odor do you know an odor is what a lingering quality impression or feeling attached to
00:02:52| something something that inhibits smell sounds like that's not fair either that's like going back to the smell smell center aroma nose fragrance yeah what are those things do we even know
00:03:05| who showed out the chemical compound that's what we can all agree on almost all the ones we can smell are carbon-based did you come across this in your big research I most certainly did
00:03:19| not [Laughter] they surmise there are over a hundred thousand chemical compounds that may have unique smells so we always come up
00:03:28| with new ones though huh there were a base seven right there's so these are the base seven there's muskie which is like a perfumer and aftershave putrid which
00:03:39| is like something run sulfurous pungent like a vinegar cam for a sheis mothballs I don't know I know the smell of mothballs but it I don't know how to describe it good point
00:03:54| II threw dry cleaning fluid I guess it's like an after effect maybe like the nose own like lightening the fresh more nose and smells like yes I assume that's a through floral like roses and then
00:04:09| pepperminty like peppermint tea smells a smell like smells by definition peppermint interesting no I didn't know that so I guess any combination here in can have some has more this some has
00:04:23| more that yeah the the interplay between smells that you can decipher something like so you said a hundred thousand I heard there's like like ten thousand different types and then there's
00:04:36| combinations that push it up to like maximum out so any reason why humans smell the way they do smell the verb or them now the verb um not a hundred percent sugar
00:04:50| I know we're gonna get into a lot of stuff we smell and the reasons we smell why was the first one came so it was like a comparison between like humans and other mammals and other mammals like
00:04:59| some of them have like dogs can have a very defiant sense of smell and broader than ours or more had more focused yeah more focused as well but most mammals aren't that way most mammals don't have
00:05:13| the sense of smell that we do and they say that because we were like cookers and creators of things that we could combine things together and see how they smelled so our creativity made our smell
00:05:25| blossom so people could smell better could make better foods could make better nutrients couldn't find better nutrients could find better foods could find better raw ingredients interesting
00:05:35| yeah promote their bean pool by smelling better verb and now mmm you uh you mentioned something with the size of the braids so humans brain all this goes on the
00:05:48| olfactory cortex yeah oh really very small olfactory bulb that's because it always the sensor above the memory internet but it ties into the limbic system right like
00:06:01| there's parts of your brain that are all interconnected and just because one part is focused on smells doesn't mean that your whole brain isn't working to figure out smells right I think so
00:06:12| limbic what I'll do is I'll break down the the physical stuff like if you would go through this is how hearing works is how this works is you know all these on these odors they're usually on molecules
00:06:24| they're called ligands mmm they detach from things like whether it's a piece of cheese you looking at Liggins come off its little parts of the cheese they actually come off under your
00:06:35| Hindus this whole area is called the NIT if there's a funny where they begin with end and I left I didn't write at that like near banana asylum as isn't named nostrils have a scientific name Nair
00:06:46| maybe na re not use it scientific name for like your nostril area like this this area right here folks anyway it goes in here it walks around and somewhere right around the back here
00:06:59| there's like a nasty mucousy membrane e area called be a the olfactory mucosa baby all the factory mucosa so like the the one the one thing I read was that you're not even know if I read this I
00:07:16| kind of made it up I think that if you don't have any moisture in your nose is it impossible to smell I don't know but impossible it doesn't get a lot harder and I'll tell you why because that's why
00:07:26| we have mucus in general a it attaches the things that shouldn't be in there but be this area right here it's mucousy it's sticky it's kind of like liquidy it's gross so these ling
00:07:37| he's lingering ligands or molecules from an item they come in here and they go right here in the moist area and it gets stuck in there well when they're kind of stuck in here certainly we have millions
00:07:49| and billions of receptors up there they're called olfactory cilia and there's certain ones are shaped certain ways so what they do is they attach to a molecule and if it's molecule
00:07:59| a reactive they react hard to it and they actually break it down and start to absorb parts of it and it makes like their cilia shake in a certain way and it travels up to the
00:08:09| olfactory bulbs which are on the other side like more toward your brain in your head so the only words I can come up with that kind of soundless oh there's the like rhinoceros there's a Rhian none
00:08:23| Renate none rinin right and by later word yeah that's that's pretty short and then lemon nazy cuz it sounds something like something else it's a little bad but I guess that doesn't fit your
00:08:35| description of like a five letter word and it was like I don't know if it refers to this thing I guess like your nostril bit of scientific term it made me crack up someone in the comments
00:08:45| please clarify anyway these smells literally go up into your nose they get caught in the mucus here and then your the cilia and receptors are all like hey that's when I recognized and they grab
00:08:55| it and they pull it up and they vibrate a certain way and goes the olfactory bulbs which guess what they're hanging right next to the mitral cells huh how crazy did it microcell is actually a
00:09:07| neuron it huh the only neurons that aren't in the brain they're like right above there push down a little toward your nose sweet lines are fast as hell yeah they transfer all its information
00:09:19| directly in one line called the olfactory tract it's like the superhighway it's just a shit ton of neurons from the olfactory so that's so that's like a weird that's weird science
00:09:31| because someone who's smelling something it takes a long time for that smell to reach you and then it's a chemical thing that you're burnt your nose is picking it up and then you're like reacting like
00:09:40| immediately so thanks while smell is like a delayed reaction the delayed reaction is super fast it's strange does that is that's the importance of smell it's also the only
00:09:54| sense I think tied directly to the brain everyone else has different parts of the brain it goes to and like receptors and core areas this one it hits right here and because neurons are already here it
00:10:04| just fires right into the rest of the brain I don't know your eyes have as your optic nerve has to hit no it has to go to UM there's an optic centre back here then you have to translate it into
00:10:13| an electronic signal I think yeah but the back of your eye is doing filtering and doing different things before it even gets to your brain so there's like a whole set of stuff that goes on with
00:10:22| your eyes right there's more steps for all the other senses as what I'm saying okay so you're saying this the nose is more direct yeah it's literally that just crosses the membrane and then hey
00:10:33| we're talking right to the neuron so let's let's not hurry it up so would you say that like maybe your maybe sense of touch or smell is one of the first things that you get if you were like
00:10:41| evolutionary step I don't know I actually think smells up there because it's so primitive that makes sense and every other atoms have to smell around I don't know site it's probably number one
00:10:56| right yeah I guess I'm imagining something crawling out of the sea and then evolving it probably has to smelling its way around yeah yeah price the sea and feel you must do fish taste
00:11:08| I'm kind of curious though can fish taste enough in cakes good huh I do they have the ability to distinguish between sweet sour salty and bitter Derek that's weird we're stuck in a pool and they're
00:11:28| like hmm so where we gonna go next after the scientific layout of how everything ties together the brain why happen the brain oh well on it that tract to the brain it goes right past the limbic
00:12:06| system or it might even use the limbic system would you touched on yeah which is our Center for emotion and memory yep so essentially memory is the strongest tie to smell then I believe any other
00:12:19| sense yeah um it certainly is it's uh so like you froze you froze with your eyes and like a weird yeah but I mean everyone's had that moment where they they smell
00:12:37| something from their childhood and they're like boom they're right there so like baking cookies or you know walking outside and on a fresh snowy morning those things come back to you
00:12:47| immediately you had some individual smells favorite smells individual smells a singular sound sells individual memory smells yeah the smell of the apartment after a
00:13:04| party when the beer has soaked into the carpet that's punchin that you can sell beer yeah stale beer I can mix with your apartment yeah that's I could still see
00:13:16| the glean of lights and then the naked person sleeping on the couch mmm mmm could you smell them no could only smell the beer maybe that's the good part yes ignore the other parts of the
00:13:32| scenario this one in the rain chair of glass chubby cherub hockey glove smell Oh oh yeah that's terrible everyone knows hated though the poop poop smell the
00:13:48| same I mean there are some there's varying degrees but everyone knows that it smells like poop or something that died a while ago it did some research for you anything we're gonna get here
00:13:59| till later but did you know 70% of the populace in a blind inquiry likes to smell their own farts huh I wonder if they were given their own fart and said smell this or if they
00:14:12| like fried apparently there's there's moral dilemma uh people would get after other people there was a whole it was a no-go this is a yeah Princess Bride where he's swapping shots they're
00:14:25| swapping the fart smells but apparently because your gut flora is unique to you it so that as unique as your fingerprint which we discussed in a previous episode I also unique to you is your own diet
00:14:38| so your farts are really your unique smell no one else has your exact part so representation is it's usually smelled it turns people off or eco matter or arts or like it's it's kind of a nasty
00:14:52| smell when you smell your own and you're like ah that's mine you recognize it I'm just thinking how they could use that to identify you it's like can eyeball scan fingerprint fart into this
00:15:04| jar my boys are taking it back home they're gonna do some tests on it but did you know that they think that it's like that because you pass on half of your gut flora etc they're your kids
00:15:20| hmm so your kids fecal matter smells close to yours and that's why you don't mind changing their diaper that's a bullshit I was like that's not true and then I
00:15:31| was like who knows if I had to change some other kids diapers the price not like awful awful shit I changed some nasty diapers and really give it a pain could you imagine change you someone
00:15:43| else's kids diapers maybe even worse I don't know I've done that once but I don't know that the poopy like real like nasty poopy I don't think it lets didn't have a tent on a 1 to 10 yeah they had
00:15:58| like maybe a four just like no big deal so you touched on this did you know space might have us no hmm I heard this a while ago so astronauts when they come back in metalli time they're metallic
00:16:17| yeah any time they come in from outside the ship and come in and take off their suits they put them in the room whatever they can smell their suits they smell different after space than before space
00:16:29| same with any object they bring out with them it smells like burnt burning meat metallic it's no weird so I guess when you leave all of the air around you just disappears so you're only left with the
00:16:47| vacuum of space and solar radiation so this is my super charged particles in general whether it's solar radiation or other particles that are out there and then once you bring them back into the
00:16:58| air they react with it makes them sort of a burning that's menthols what they think huh think no one knows that's creepy as fuck that's right I don't know if I
00:17:09| could handle that so hold on they take it one step further did you NASA talk to i forget the name it's a perfume guy mm-hmm make a perfume that smelled like space that they were using really yeah
00:17:20| during training oh yeah I didn't get to that part we do we do have certified smeller's so those seven different types of smells that were defined they give them a test that has ten vials and they
00:17:33| have to decipher which of the seven have which smells otherwise they're no longer certified I knew if I have a friend who's a who's certified smeller we use them for tests that were like for like
00:17:44| trash bags like they are like a Teflon trash bag Teflon doesn't have a smell and they would seal it up and let it rot and they would say what is the smell like and how bad does it smell and they
00:17:56| do it over a course of like several months because that's exactly what they do in orbit they have to put the trash bag away and hope that the smell doesn't escape like what
00:18:06| bzees they have all sorts of trash not feces though feces get some difference like old same thing with urine usually it's like physical figure but food can smell just as bad as feces in my pee
00:18:17| apple core or something in a little bit of meat you couldn't finish yeah you're right yeah can they bring meat up there no no yeah yeah okay you know the radiate food and baggage
00:18:31| essentially it's a little pouch mylar you know why we have two nostrils I read that you oscillate during the day he goes left and right so that you breathe through one or the other I don't know
00:18:45| why that matters though like why would they do my body why would they be touched on it you literally touched on it so for everyone wondering with your ears you can tell whether our sounds
00:18:57| coming from your left or right because we have too far apart I see its spatial reasoning like we know what's going on spatially you only need one now because the only
00:19:06| gotta suck one you know what get ahead this one got two nostrils because during the day one always break down one is filled with too much mucus it's a very there's always overproduction of mucus
00:19:20| mmm nostril can barely breathe like stuff they get inflamed very easily so what happens is some of these smells we were talking about earlier and you touched on it it's a time related thing
00:19:31| it has to be timed just right so the smell reaches and gets absorbed into this whole factory bulb otherwise you're not going to smell it some molecules move too quick so it'll go through the
00:19:42| slower one and get absorbed others move too slow so like it needs to be absorbed because the air moves too quick oh it's restricting the flow into either one oh that's yeah so it's like if they don't
00:19:57| work this way it's gonna work this way it's pretty badass that the body does this on its own and somehow the body figured it out it's just like this is the way it's got to work I mean we
00:20:07| really gave the body millions of years well not millions but hundreds of thousands of years right you're right and our bodies are stupid I can figure it out in a hundred thousand years body
00:20:17| did I just read this week of pity on Wikipedia article figure it out in a minute while we were also talking about space we know what certain galaxies smelling like you know you see like a
00:20:31| BuzzFeed article once every three month is it that like an approximation of the smell it is and it isn't apparently if all the MA if we know almost all the molecules that make up a
00:20:41| thing like um Sagittarius b2 is made of Peppa formate apparently that's the smell that's whether it's fermented in a natural occurring organic object or whatever can smell like raspberries or
00:20:55| rum cool LT smells like one of the two deliciousness but it probably killing you does it kill you oh you're in the vacuum of space I'm sure you did oh well if you're gonna if you're gonna die
00:21:08| what's less smelly I want to smell they also said you wouldn't be able to smell in space because of the hold no air thing yeah Michael's flow yeah but be cool to be in it I guess you probably
00:21:20| smell your own lungs actually if you were because the vacuum is based on still the earth blood and the air leaving your body yeah I would smell terrible when I sneeze I'm like what the
00:21:30| hell what's in there you can smell your sneezes if you sneeze really hard you've never smelled Jones Ellen lungs when you sneeze really hard when
00:21:39| you're sick no that's don't it's not good that's interesting because you can't smell your own nose do you know why you can't habituation yes also known as neural adaptation baby
00:21:53| whoo-hoo happens with your eyes Evans with your almost any fact of life if you're doing something too much like a did you know you can see your nose at all times you look down just look down
00:22:04| it's there why don't you notice it all day neural adaptation baby your brand is frigging blocks it out it's like tired of this tell you all day
00:22:13| for 24 straight hours that there's a part of your nose you can see all day but I'm wasting your time I'm wasting my time let's just skip it it's sensory overload we don't need that piece of
00:22:23| information everyone look at your nose right now oh yeah we changed your life good night well you notice that's the same thing we go nose blind to things you know it's a Glade commercial yeah
00:22:37| you know it's funny it was a term in our industry the bar restaurant supply before Glade made it famous because I sell air fresheners and on your screen oh my god hmm so return interesting you
00:22:51| know there are disorders that are related to all that can't smell anything there's not such a person is there killed uh Ana's Mia oh come on dude you gotta pronounce that better anosmia yeah
00:23:06| anosmia and that's the condition do you know what a person's called and nos me attic oh so close it's in annoncement nas mek that's pretty good it's like insomnia it's hard
00:23:18| not to say insomnia right right it's an announcement anyway in an odd nick is a person who heads in able to smell only three ways to get there folks birth injury
00:23:32| and like old age brain issue so though the old age one is a daemon prezbo my Prez BIOS Mia Presbyterian like meiosis is like the eyes I think but prismo yeah yeah it's hard to say these things are
00:23:49| difficult we're educated and it's still hard mmm we're really educated so smart can't believe it but uh yeah I can't I it's weird because the the sense of smell is linked to the sense of taste
00:24:06| right so if you can't smell anything I don't think that you can taste anything either you can taste but you can't taste well Oh like half right half of I'll put it
00:24:17| this way so from what I read is you're eating chicken and garlic whatever marsala I don't know reading some delicious flavorful food your tongue can taste the savory part and what would the
00:24:31| other part be maybe yeah it's not sweet and sour it's not would just be savory I have to open up the fish graphic again where the hell are you what can you take sweet sour salty saves like me so it's
00:24:43| probably salty and savory right your tongue can taste the salty and savory of this but as you're eating a food because your new nasal cavity is connected to your mouth as you two humans are going
00:24:54| up into your nose and get into your olfactory bulb so chances are the garlic that you're tasting is actually a smell the thyme the garlic the spice it's usually actually a smell that's why when
00:25:10| they say you remember a taste from your childhood you're more remembering the smell than the taste huh smell is more unique there's more smells though tastes your
00:25:20| sense of taste is really quite dull I think kinda is so we're losing one sense maybe taste yeah although then could you not smell the same I don't know they're not sure
00:25:31| people describe eating something without having the sense of smell is like eating styrofoam I think it's just a texture yeah I could see that did you know people who have an injury to their
00:25:43| smelling capacity whether they be um oh good I was gonna say prefrontal cortex but I don't know if that's true or not it just sounds good I think a lot of smelling happens in the interior I
00:25:55| thought it was the picture yeah I'm gonna pull it up don't want to loop any my good no all you all you good anyway people who have injuries to their smelling part of the brain right
00:26:11| away two things happening across the board this is scientifically proven they have no more appetite for food they will eat they're not like whatever but they don't care as much about it they don't
00:26:21| have favorite foods anyone and they don't want sex anymore what the hell's wrong oh it's saying we're gonna get into the other side of it hot we're getting into
00:26:31| ice there let's go to pheromones and sweat glands Oh ceremony that's what I'm talking about baby yeah so when you first are born you have equine Akron sweat grain sweat
00:26:46| glands are you sure driver nothing no I cried I cried and sweat yeah yeah that's so that's a natural thing I think it's like feet I have a lot of sweat glands just naturally when you're first born I
00:26:56| have written down here bad naughty part smells feet armpit butthole the armpit butthole bad wait what's your daddy what's this category babe body's natural smells I wrote it's
00:27:11| a personal experience this is anecdotal no no like that's where this person stinks like you think of their you know their feet your smelly yeah yeah but the feet are natural clean from birth I well
00:27:23| I think the feet or I'm gonna say that my son's feet sweat more than anyone else and there's something chemical there that causes my feet to sweat so I don't know what that was happening but
00:27:34| yeah it's natural so it's like I think your your your your feet have most of them because he's real sweaty I'm just gonna say anecdotal evidence there and the other types of sweat glands the
00:27:44| sebaceous and the I think it's the appo gram sweat glands they come during puberty puberty so you have fatty sweat glands those babies Hanks areas yeah what's
00:27:55| your under area and then the other ones in the orbit in other areas too but mainly your armpit so it gets kind of weird people doing scientific studies on what people
00:28:09| can actually smell you read this study about people being able to tell whether someone is genetically related to them do you know why we have a census Townsville sense of smell folks it's so
00:28:27| we don't have incest going so they do they did a study on people that were half siblings and full siblings and they said that you can't tell the difference between someone who is just like
00:28:36| genetically different from you and your half sibling so they're they're genetically far enough away that you can't smell them literally you can't smell that their half sibling or
00:28:47| stranger would you say this is called the Westermarck effect I would say that if I could pull up a good good good yeah that is a you are literally unattracted that people have your exact same smell
00:29:02| you actually you're wired to like the smell of strangers erotically more so than anyone in your own family that's a key to you it smells wrong I don't know how to explain it
00:29:14| I tried it yeah they did the nature versus nurture thing to like if you grow up with somebody you're naturally not predisposed to having sex with them I guess that's the way to say are you care
00:29:26| for them Bailey it depends how you want to look at it so you don't want to have sex with them like later even people that have like don't know who their siblings are like they still can sense
00:29:36| that they're not supposed to mix genes with them because their genes will probably not produce a viable babies don't lie baby and boom so your your sense of smell can actually determine
00:29:50| genes it's weird weird 25,000 genes make up the human condition right hmm sir 2 percent of those are dedicated to smell alone huh I think that's one out of
00:30:05| every 30 maybe I did the math wrong 100 over 50 today I could be God yeah that would be map oh yes science Soleil um there's another story but this is loosely
00:30:24| related so there was a guy who fell asleep who had type 2 diabetes and something was wrong with his toes like when you get diabetes your toes start to lose circulation and they extremities
00:30:34| yeah he's don't circulate as well yeah yeah the dog could smell that his extremities were no longer viable and the dog chewed off his toe to at all
00:30:49| I know about stories where they dial nine-one-one that's pretty bad saying first off the phone and push 9-1-1 but to chew up the actual bed this is Lassie and a call center yeah see a dog chewed
00:31:06| off his toe and actually saved him because of like once it get becomes to chronic sue comes dead it starts the filter bad stuff into you so the dog could smell that his toe is
00:31:15| necrotic chopped it off that's bad yes that is pretty badass and they can also send the home they also say that well I don't know if this is a scientific but dogs can smell when
00:31:26| you have certain diseases or cancer actually 100% heard this whether it's true or not I was thinking cancer yeah I just think that's fascinating that like another
00:31:37| animal knows when your have a debilitating disease and there are certain animals I can tell when you're about to die there's a story of one of the well yeah I think I deaf Ken yeah it
00:31:49| would go to the person's bedside when they're within like two days of dying and that's like this is the mark of death that the cat has has cometh and that person would pass away within 24-48
00:32:00| hours was that cat like twelve or fourteen or something ridiculous or something uh he was super old so do you think he knew his own death was coming could he smells I'm death he's he sat
00:32:11| with himself the cat just curled up into it Aroo Burress sleeping tail or Boris is arrow arrow Boris Arora one of us one of those one of those counts
00:32:30| ruborous which is the great TD from a tech on things arrow bars and thank so there's also we've been talking a lot about human smell and before we get away from it I just wanted to say Broca was a
00:32:46| scientist del out of brain ha ha Broca's region his reign yeah region whatever cool guy so anyway he was judging what size these brain parts were compared to other mammals and stuff what
00:33:00| was interesting is that humans our olfactory bulbs were much smaller than say mice dogs other animals so they figured that we would have very good senses of smell
00:33:12| we're inept especially because we're so good at vision we're so good at the other stuff that like we have bad smell well recently light has come into fruition that we don't use smell in the
00:33:22| day-to-day but we have as you mentioned beginning the pockets we've pretty good that smell they think that it has less to do with the size of the brain portion as the neurons connected with that sense
00:33:35| that our nose uses similar amount percentage-wise of neurons as like elephants mice and a couple other animals dogs our stove I believe the head because they you
00:33:46| smell for social cues and territorial things and help the food and all sorts of crap but humans are not as bad as we thought we were and that was broke his fault because he was unlocking the brain
00:33:59| and it was kind of just figured he ones don't have a big percentage so it's just not hmm you were you seemed like you were researching vision oh yeah I wanted it I want to piggyback that yes because
00:34:12| I wanted to see like which at which mammals had the best sense of smell you mentioned my son elephants I don't know that I have anything to add on those particularly okay
00:34:28| I wanted it so like I guess the sense of smell tells you whether something is putrid or rotten and it saves you from potentially eating something that will kill you it also serves is it like a
00:34:42| sexual so there's the incestual avoidance but there's a sexual element to like with colognes like people are trying to mix together certain flowers certain certain magical aromas that
00:34:54| allows you to become a track dead or attractive to other people that's a billion dollar industry every year and that's the world yeah did you know science is its back and forth on this
00:35:07| one isn't it were you fall oh well we did research on attraction and I guess it depends on how close you are over the other person because it's like within like a foot and
00:35:18| a half to two feet you can smell them but most people don't come within that range so if you're trying to attract somebody that is just a passerby major you're really trying to turn your own
00:35:31| cellphone with your own Cologne because your own horniness will come out as your own excitement visually and they'll be able to pick you out and say that person has something going on so it's not real
00:35:44| it's mental unless they're an intimate partner who's always within that range and then I guess you'd Flitz wear your Cologne should probably turn that other person
00:35:55| on so that you can get it on that's so weird I just thought of this so someone who came into my store smelled like one of my ex-girlfriends because she wore the same perfume
00:36:09| oh and it was a once a Tommy Hilfiger or something knockoff or maybe a new Tommy Hilfiger whatever it was very similar to what she used to wear and I was I was more attracted to her taken aback like
00:36:27| wait a second wow that's hey I remember oh yeah needed the right notes for you it did know that smell wouldn't have turned me on by itself I wouldn't be like well
00:36:41| what is that like but it was a memory based turn on so have you ever heard of a perfumer someone who is creating perfumes they have something called a perfume organ which the person who
00:36:56| created it said it was almost like smells have like different octaves and there are certain smells that go together like cords so the organ is literally laid out like the three-tiered
00:37:06| organ and there are probably like hundreds of smells so if someone's like combining them they're almost like playing an organ to create the smell that's why does hot stuff yeah that's
00:37:18| sexy yeah and these people are certified so it's like you have to be stars the rock stars of perfume literally you know I kind of want to go to like a symposium with those people and then be like
00:37:30| they're like pull you aside be like check this out and then just like they have like a little secret if they're just effing non-stop at these symposiums so these even just as follow along with
00:37:41| the whole theme the idea if you if you did happen to lay the most women using your perfume or cologne I mean that's gotta that's validity right there this is a scientific study for psyches
00:37:59| Testament yeah testament to your product so they took this an extra level further with there was a novel and a film which I'm sure you love perfume the story of murderer
00:38:10| there's a man oh you discuss this I think yeah go for it so the story goes that there was a man who was born with perfect smell he could smell anything
00:38:22| her mouth sounds terrible so it became so enraptured by the smells but the things he loved most were the living things because it was a transient thing and the smell would go away and
00:38:34| he'd be so distraught that he couldn't bring back the smell that he began to dive into perfumes and how to obtain smells from things and he eventually starts to try to obtain smells from
00:38:47| those he's attracted to and the only way to do that would be to kill them the store told murderer but in the end he starts to collect all these different smells and combine them
00:38:56| in such a way that he can control people the smells and then he become so sexually attractive by just the smell alone that people just want him they can't figure out why but they just they
00:39:10| want to dive right in and rip him apart that's dark yeah but it's also awesome weird well in light of sexual smells and everything else you all enjoy the smell like some nice armpits or sweats oh my
00:39:33| groin smells some pungent sex organs smells so I don't think I've ever liked an armpit smell I could definitely agree with you on some of the sexual area smells I guess
00:39:46| if you're in sync it smells good but not most of the time but some of the time some other times it smells like an old hamburger or something but um but sometimes it's not that bad you're
00:40:08| just like huh and then it's time to enjoy yourself have a feast join the buffet smorgasbord I think you do I do I I know I do so on a day-to-day basis those smells are kind of repulsive kind
00:40:34| of salty kind of and not doing a funny smell yeah yeah but when you're in the moment or you're in heat as we were to say in the mist it become hot they become steamy good good it in the way of
00:40:52| fart smells good your own fart thank you it's my smell that's my sexual yeah you got a piece of steak and use fighting it yeah you can keep going and you get lost in
00:41:06| it and there's a little hypnotic nough stew it there's want to dig in there you want to get into all the smells that no one else can get it tastes and feels and usually get lost to get wild and get
00:41:18| crazy and there's you know I earlier in the podcast I said smell is the most primitive sense in a way mmm in that it's I think it's related to that it's like just feel it it turns me into an
00:41:35| animal animalistic that's exactly and that's how I feel and related to that unbeknownst to me they actually did some studies on this people who report or actually show better senses of smell
00:41:51| they have better sex lives women who are more sensitive to smell have more orgasms oh that's nice it's a true thing it doesn't equate to men apparently men who smell better or a
00:42:10| baseline all of us believe on them but in general people who were more sensitive to smell have a better sex life probably for what I just mentioned because it's more here to the finite
00:42:28| with out words mmm I can't buy more explored I don't know how to explain it so my segue to this is that if you were to get home I get really down and dirty and then you actually procreate and make
00:42:46| a baby and a woman is pregnant she actually has a hyper sense of smell and be true ya rabb about that there are certain types of smells that you can tell when you're you're hungry and your
00:42:59| body needs certain protein certain salts different things that a pregnant woman can tell whether she's gonna like something or not not only by smelling it but smelling it like 30 feet away like
00:43:10| she can tell whether someone's cooking something like the next house over and she goes that's disgusting and so excited scientific thing like it's just proof
00:43:18| yeah and I've seen it anecdotally too like my wife does not have to go anywhere near any type of food that she doesn't like when she's pregnant she goes that's disgusting and she she
00:43:30| wanted she can't even stand it she has to leave that's more for you but I guess it's the it's kind of a weird thing though that you're like as a pregnant woman who needs to figure out like what
00:43:43| her baby needs that's an essential thing to like figure out that you know don't take these like essential amino acids and like that food doesn't have it so that is disgusting right now but this
00:43:53| food does so that's most delicious I'm craving it so that feeds into like here's food cravings yeah well I thought it was all weird because the smell we've been talking about is about molecules
00:44:06| that go into our nose here we're talking about something it's not a few feet away it's like 30 feet away who do you eat away yeah after a limit to human smell I don't know that there is I mean downwind
00:44:18| is is downwind definable distance the only thing I did see what is was like when they're testing people for smells so you do up like a factor of two so they like they range quite a bit it's
00:44:29| almost like um what's the like a exponential curve yeah hyperbolic curve about how well you can smell so they do a test on like a huge range to figure out how well you
00:44:41| can smell those seven different types hmm so it's very it's an ill-defined science except when you get down to like gas chromatographs which use like a like I'll just define
00:44:55| how this parts per million parts per million thing it's uh it's like so if you're shooting a particle through like space just straight ahead and you attach a piece of radiation to it
00:45:08| a little eye on to it and then charge it like that piece of ion will pull down that molecule then molecules like a certain weight it's like either light or heavy and it takes longer to pull it
00:45:19| down so a gas chromatograph will attach to certain size and weight mass particles and pull them down so you can tell how far they travel after they get pulled down
00:45:32| that makes sense I'd follow you but what does it got to do with people so in order to tell like whether say there's like harmful things in the air so a gas chromatograph can tell you what what
00:45:45| family of things is in the air it will tell you like different combinations of molecules so you'd be able to figure out that you have like an alcohol or like a different base I gently box a lace or uh
00:45:58| fentanyl or this yeah I guess so where I'm going with is the like the other Avenue of like scientific smells is like the gas chromatograph feel I feel like scientifically figuring out what the
00:46:11| smell is based on its base compounds other than a human being who does this for like all the time naturally passively and can kind of figure it out based on the thousands of smells that
00:46:23| they know tens of thousands hundreds of thousands so the science based on is kind of strange too because you have like weird combinations of things that smell completely different it really
00:46:35| depends on what the combination is so the science is kind of hazy it goes back to the smelling things and testing based on the different levels doubling exponentially so I lost you
00:46:49| there I get you I didn't know where you're going there no no I totally get that that's essentially the humans are doing what science is trying to do right now but yeah they didn't they don't have
00:47:03| smell-o-vision yet so it smell-o-vision the UH the other funny thing is you kind of touched on it we're um when we smell a thing like let's say coffee I think I saw a YouTube video
00:47:15| over this mmm we're smelling like so many different things it's chemicals different compounds different acetyl menifee de arbol whole acid a tuna I'm making up words now but they sound
00:47:30| scientific yeah all these smells go in here go into your nose smell what did you say smell the snella word name it is that the thing I saw so it
00:47:43| kind of sounds awesome that Clojure Snell that's awesome anyway all these smells go in here and they go in and then your brain does essentially what you do for what do you see a blurry
00:47:56| vision you don't look at individual photons coming back at you like I can't look at photons pointing out a door I have to see all of them so so time here goes on
00:48:06| here Oh time to the edge of go time the doorknob a photon here and I get the image that I my brain says that's the door your nose does the same thing I get this smell this smell there's this
00:48:16| chemical reaction there's this chemical there's a compound here there's a compound theater and it forms what I know is coffee perfect I know it's a strong coffee or a lighter coffee but I
00:48:27| know it's coffee but my brain doesn't break down the individuals like I can't go oh that's one eight coffee that's another particle that's in coffee you just know the image coffee with our
00:48:40| nose I thought that was interesting yeah that it's the varying degrees of all the different components but we can't tell the components apart no not that good maybe we could I'm not
00:48:51| sure but maybe a brain feels like it's easier to just do this because you get a lot of number 7 of 15 all over the world let's not confuse the poor guy let's just wait till all of them are combined
00:49:03| this is coffee pal this is always coffee so let's so that we talked about perfumers the other side of the coin is flavor ists so I read about this one flavor astern aim was
00:49:14| Pamela Lowe she's the grandmother of Captain Crunch so like the way they incorporate flavor into Captain Crunch is that you can bake it that way like this is just like
00:49:26| physically impossible to bake Captain Crunch and make it taste that way so she developed like an oil that she could apply to the outside of the Captain Crunch
00:49:35| like spray it on there so that you could taste the notes so that are part of Captain Crunch like Captain Crunch has a certain smell a certain taste and I guarantee that almost everyone knows
00:49:45| what that is as long as they've eaten it once I could taste it right now you know kind of hungry crunchy hmm hmm but there's there's entire divisions of people it instead of
00:49:59| actually putting in like I think Captain Crunch was like a mixture of like brown sugar and like oats and wheat or something but you can't bake it the way they do make mash man manufacturing so
00:50:11| they have people that are dedicated to like recreating the smell of something the taste of something using other chemicals that are easily applied which is and not copyrighted I don't know
00:50:25| their copyright or no I don't know if you can use that if you use that taste on like a candy bar or something now that you can recreate um coca-cola and all that that could you formula exact
00:50:37| agree this copyrighted I okay so can you use the ingredients would it taste the same what in different quantities or something in different order I don't know no because you could you swap like
00:50:56| they're almost so essential at like the certain pieces are necessary in certain combinations and certain ratios that if you change one I don't know it like they're people with entire careers based
00:51:08| on this too like what could you modify to make it taste the same I agree but and we just talked about what smell is and it's literally sent an aroma smell it's literally can't
00:51:27| molecules that come off of a thing and find two olfactory bulbs for receptors that go to the bulbs but so the number of receptors hasn't changed the number of bulbs hasn't changed what's changed
00:51:42| the amount of molecules that by chance work their way to their right kind of to rephrase that question smell is not changing with ingredients that's true so what changes the amount of chemicals
00:51:59| that bind with the amount of receptors in my nose I think it's this they probably use those some like similar the similarity of things that are in the same family and then mix them back
00:52:11| together in a certain role that gives off a fragrance I think that's how they drink your pod my nose so what's going on in my nose for me to get Captain Crunch smell this is a different one
00:52:23| knockoff brand that doesn't doesn't taste quite the same let's say it even uses skin ingredients but it just doesn't doesn't taste the same does it's not say what's happening I don't know I
00:52:33| just know that it's got corn for crunch boats for punch and stays crunchy even in milk so my guess is that ratio you were talking about directly relates to how many molecules of X find with
00:52:53| olfactory bulbs and molecules of ly fine with olfactory bulbs and molecules of Z bind with or bacter bulbs so that I could drink you know is so important it makes my brain think one way but if the
00:53:07| x y and z is off just by the amount it smells different hmm I know it sounds stupid and common a basic but that's why it is so let's let's segue into things that smell like
00:53:25| other things to pretend it for some reason so like a corpse flower carrion flower it smells like dead meat like that and it's a biological advantage because it actually brings like flies
00:53:42| and different insects to it to pollinate little other animals we need it exactly so it protects it while it's convenient fornicating at the same time alright but it's kind of it's bizarre though because
00:53:55| how does a plant know to mimic dead flesh of an animal do you think just one by chance did that it reproduced so much I mean I don't know it's like yeah just randomly like genetically modified
00:54:12| mutated itself to I mean it's probably not like choosing to do so it just happens to be a not by editing in Fitness a certain thing yeah I know I just I don't that's
00:54:27| just something that's amazing that there exists something that puts off that pungent and odor that it's survived I guess if it just happens once it's like that one flower is gonna be good enough
00:54:38| for because it's such an evolutionary advantage that's gonna be good forever not forever well until another flower comes back eventually we know until we run out of meat and people want to eat
00:54:50| meat and all animals are like vegetarians eat em hmm vultures are just chowing down on corpse flowers so did you get income did you get into like skunks no I didn't why is
00:55:05| that is that effective on just us mammals or every animal or what oh hoping you got in this skunks I was really hoping you did because I'm curious no I did not no I don't I'm
00:55:22| blanking on it they're gonna skip over that and I'm winding down folks you are coming up i I did I am listen that's okay where I wanted to end this is that smell is super interesting for
00:55:35| another reason so Vsauce did an episode and he broke down the word olfactory right check his podcast he watches ours when one of his favorites anyway he's he's
00:55:47| pretty good he's coming up through the ranks he's briefly got took him out during the little podcast olfactory odor makes up the first part full oh well they think it's based on odor and
00:55:59| connector II um to make what's clear it is olfactory tea doesn't make the smells right it kind of does because we're not taking these molecules and just shooting them all the way up into our brain we're
00:56:16| taking these molecules absorbing them into our our olfactory bulbs and olfactory receptors and they make our receptors react a certain way diffuses electrons differently travels up
00:56:29| retained if gives us different impulses and then that sends a message to her brain about how something smells so really we still don't know how anything smells it's
00:56:39| coming into our body we're reacting to it and it's our version of smell hmm I don't I mean I guess you could almost say about any sense what would smell it's extra weird
00:56:52| because when you smell something it becomes part of you if I smell dance fart near now me a little bit a little bit of him just got in my body in my nose that's the other reason is have
00:57:08| sexual toe if you smell someone sex parts but but you're smelling them pieces of them are going up into your body and you're absorbing it and reacting to it
00:57:24| I'm primal Bette so I'm sexy about it something wild about it and you're winding down but I'm gonna add an aside please do so a sunk skunks smell anal glands they produce the
00:57:41| theall and the thiol is actually what they call or mercaptan and more captain is like a form of an oniony smell which humans actually produce naturally so if you smell like a garlic that's like a
00:57:54| bass element of what the skunk is spraying it with it's kind of bizarre it's concentrated yeah and the feel is a bunch of stuff that probably no one cares about but they also said that the
00:58:06| home remedies are ineffective the humane society made oh paste the Humane Society of the United States recommends treating dogs or yourself if you get sprayed hydrogen peroxide baking soda
00:58:20| dishwashing liquid that's the solution to disinfect simply say kid volcano but okay I guess so peroxide baking soda and then dishwashing oh I think said vinegar I'm sorry yeah well I think the peroxide
00:58:34| is a mate I think they're both basic aren't they though your basic I don't know well folks thanks for joining us today we talked about the anterior cingulate cortex we
00:58:49| talked about how incest happens every single day and I was like incest in here you can avoid incest by smelling your partner pheromones are they real or are they not real no how close do you have
00:59:04| to get 67% of people enjoy their own farts mmm I know I do I do as well people who enjoy smells and have some more sensitive smells have lots of sex
00:59:19| folks so yes sniffing them roses and sniffing mmm but Jays had pee pees I thought you said orgasms it's like they might not have enough sex but when they have sex they have fun too
00:59:31| organisms but I guess they have more sex because they like sex more right women who knows it's the faculty or power of perceiving odors folks and it smells like these stinks but it doesn't it's
00:59:47| all about leggins mm-hmm all about the old factory mucosa damn it's all about the mucous nerve receptors in the olfactory Broca's area the limbic system memories Pamela Lowe Cap'n Crunch baby
01:00:06| perfumers perfume story of a murderer perfume we talk about nasal congestion smoking brain injury to eat a meal yep in this area that's not we're all down Columbus folks sebaceous glands start
01:00:22| getting out there and sniffing weird shit natural gas boom wait a mess CEO that smells lighter fluid sniffing glue sniff it get high open anything I don't care sniff stuff go up to a girl
01:00:35| and sniff her she's not gonna be bothered that's time don't do that to her creep oh yeah so keep your sniffer in your pants folks not tomorrow if you can't adhere to that
01:00:51| maybe rethink everything thanks for joining us thanks for donating to the socials thanks for hitting up our like button thanks writing up two retweets thanks for hitting the heart
01:01:03| thanks for sniffing on us we should make one for a sniff like checked you out [Music] just check in the air near you thanks those for checking on us we
01:01:17| appreciate the f-bomb out of it and we like you like you a lot Thanks good in X here just read now good night
00:00:21| mention how smell doesn't quite stink join us so I'm Dan and I'm Nick books for old friends dissecting one topic at a time people technology media we've got it all covered each discussion here is a
00:00:40| deep dive in or unique perspective taboo forbidden subjects they're all on the chopping block baby we don't pander to popular opinion with Mike you can get a little bit dirty morning this podcast
00:00:54| may contain mature language and sexual content and this for entertainment purposes only so join us have a good time open up your earholes [Music]
00:01:19| all right Wow nice interesting mask did you know skeletons are the only creatures that have no sense of smell no sense of smell but they have but they have a smell themselves right yes they
00:01:38| do okay is there anything it doesn't have a smell is that do we do enough research to know that on off the fly on the fly I don't think we did space oh well
00:01:51| basically I can't want lack of particles did you know well run it well first I love to start with a Wikipedia definition thanks for joining us folks we're talking about smell today mm-hmm
00:02:04| you know so if one of your friends is like we're going to the bathroom you guys wanna means do you want to smell some cool smells in the bit I say go with them smell by definition is the
00:02:15| faculty or power of perceiving odors or scents by means of the organs in the news olfaction it's those are really talk what smell is that's like literally saying smell it's
00:02:28| being able to smell yeah it's what particulate that's been kicked up in the air and you you're you have what receptors that catch those and bind to them and then you figure out what
00:02:41| combination of those things is actually the thing you're smelling has to be an odor so I looked up odor do you know an odor is what a lingering quality impression or feeling attached to
00:02:52| something something that inhibits smell sounds like that's not fair either that's like going back to the smell smell center aroma nose fragrance yeah what are those things do we even know
00:03:05| who showed out the chemical compound that's what we can all agree on almost all the ones we can smell are carbon-based did you come across this in your big research I most certainly did
00:03:19| not [Laughter] they surmise there are over a hundred thousand chemical compounds that may have unique smells so we always come up
00:03:28| with new ones though huh there were a base seven right there's so these are the base seven there's muskie which is like a perfumer and aftershave putrid which
00:03:39| is like something run sulfurous pungent like a vinegar cam for a sheis mothballs I don't know I know the smell of mothballs but it I don't know how to describe it good point
00:03:54| II threw dry cleaning fluid I guess it's like an after effect maybe like the nose own like lightening the fresh more nose and smells like yes I assume that's a through floral like roses and then
00:04:09| pepperminty like peppermint tea smells a smell like smells by definition peppermint interesting no I didn't know that so I guess any combination here in can have some has more this some has
00:04:23| more that yeah the the interplay between smells that you can decipher something like so you said a hundred thousand I heard there's like like ten thousand different types and then there's
00:04:36| combinations that push it up to like maximum out so any reason why humans smell the way they do smell the verb or them now the verb um not a hundred percent sugar
00:04:50| I know we're gonna get into a lot of stuff we smell and the reasons we smell why was the first one came so it was like a comparison between like humans and other mammals and other mammals like
00:04:59| some of them have like dogs can have a very defiant sense of smell and broader than ours or more had more focused yeah more focused as well but most mammals aren't that way most mammals don't have
00:05:13| the sense of smell that we do and they say that because we were like cookers and creators of things that we could combine things together and see how they smelled so our creativity made our smell
00:05:25| blossom so people could smell better could make better foods could make better nutrients couldn't find better nutrients could find better foods could find better raw ingredients interesting
00:05:35| yeah promote their bean pool by smelling better verb and now mmm you uh you mentioned something with the size of the braids so humans brain all this goes on the
00:05:48| olfactory cortex yeah oh really very small olfactory bulb that's because it always the sensor above the memory internet but it ties into the limbic system right like
00:06:01| there's parts of your brain that are all interconnected and just because one part is focused on smells doesn't mean that your whole brain isn't working to figure out smells right I think so
00:06:12| limbic what I'll do is I'll break down the the physical stuff like if you would go through this is how hearing works is how this works is you know all these on these odors they're usually on molecules
00:06:24| they're called ligands mmm they detach from things like whether it's a piece of cheese you looking at Liggins come off its little parts of the cheese they actually come off under your
00:06:35| Hindus this whole area is called the NIT if there's a funny where they begin with end and I left I didn't write at that like near banana asylum as isn't named nostrils have a scientific name Nair
00:06:46| maybe na re not use it scientific name for like your nostril area like this this area right here folks anyway it goes in here it walks around and somewhere right around the back here
00:06:59| there's like a nasty mucousy membrane e area called be a the olfactory mucosa baby all the factory mucosa so like the the one the one thing I read was that you're not even know if I read this I
00:07:16| kind of made it up I think that if you don't have any moisture in your nose is it impossible to smell I don't know but impossible it doesn't get a lot harder and I'll tell you why because that's why
00:07:26| we have mucus in general a it attaches the things that shouldn't be in there but be this area right here it's mucousy it's sticky it's kind of like liquidy it's gross so these ling
00:07:37| he's lingering ligands or molecules from an item they come in here and they go right here in the moist area and it gets stuck in there well when they're kind of stuck in here certainly we have millions
00:07:49| and billions of receptors up there they're called olfactory cilia and there's certain ones are shaped certain ways so what they do is they attach to a molecule and if it's molecule
00:07:59| a reactive they react hard to it and they actually break it down and start to absorb parts of it and it makes like their cilia shake in a certain way and it travels up to the
00:08:09| olfactory bulbs which are on the other side like more toward your brain in your head so the only words I can come up with that kind of soundless oh there's the like rhinoceros there's a Rhian none
00:08:23| Renate none rinin right and by later word yeah that's that's pretty short and then lemon nazy cuz it sounds something like something else it's a little bad but I guess that doesn't fit your
00:08:35| description of like a five letter word and it was like I don't know if it refers to this thing I guess like your nostril bit of scientific term it made me crack up someone in the comments
00:08:45| please clarify anyway these smells literally go up into your nose they get caught in the mucus here and then your the cilia and receptors are all like hey that's when I recognized and they grab
00:08:55| it and they pull it up and they vibrate a certain way and goes the olfactory bulbs which guess what they're hanging right next to the mitral cells huh how crazy did it microcell is actually a
00:09:07| neuron it huh the only neurons that aren't in the brain they're like right above there push down a little toward your nose sweet lines are fast as hell yeah they transfer all its information
00:09:19| directly in one line called the olfactory tract it's like the superhighway it's just a shit ton of neurons from the olfactory so that's so that's like a weird that's weird science
00:09:31| because someone who's smelling something it takes a long time for that smell to reach you and then it's a chemical thing that you're burnt your nose is picking it up and then you're like reacting like
00:09:40| immediately so thanks while smell is like a delayed reaction the delayed reaction is super fast it's strange does that is that's the importance of smell it's also the only
00:09:54| sense I think tied directly to the brain everyone else has different parts of the brain it goes to and like receptors and core areas this one it hits right here and because neurons are already here it
00:10:04| just fires right into the rest of the brain I don't know your eyes have as your optic nerve has to hit no it has to go to UM there's an optic centre back here then you have to translate it into
00:10:13| an electronic signal I think yeah but the back of your eye is doing filtering and doing different things before it even gets to your brain so there's like a whole set of stuff that goes on with
00:10:22| your eyes right there's more steps for all the other senses as what I'm saying okay so you're saying this the nose is more direct yeah it's literally that just crosses the membrane and then hey
00:10:33| we're talking right to the neuron so let's let's not hurry it up so would you say that like maybe your maybe sense of touch or smell is one of the first things that you get if you were like
00:10:41| evolutionary step I don't know I actually think smells up there because it's so primitive that makes sense and every other atoms have to smell around I don't know site it's probably number one
00:10:56| right yeah I guess I'm imagining something crawling out of the sea and then evolving it probably has to smelling its way around yeah yeah price the sea and feel you must do fish taste
00:11:08| I'm kind of curious though can fish taste enough in cakes good huh I do they have the ability to distinguish between sweet sour salty and bitter Derek that's weird we're stuck in a pool and they're
00:11:28| like hmm so where we gonna go next after the scientific layout of how everything ties together the brain why happen the brain oh well on it that tract to the brain it goes right past the limbic
00:12:06| system or it might even use the limbic system would you touched on yeah which is our Center for emotion and memory yep so essentially memory is the strongest tie to smell then I believe any other
00:12:19| sense yeah um it certainly is it's uh so like you froze you froze with your eyes and like a weird yeah but I mean everyone's had that moment where they they smell
00:12:37| something from their childhood and they're like boom they're right there so like baking cookies or you know walking outside and on a fresh snowy morning those things come back to you
00:12:47| immediately you had some individual smells favorite smells individual smells a singular sound sells individual memory smells yeah the smell of the apartment after a
00:13:04| party when the beer has soaked into the carpet that's punchin that you can sell beer yeah stale beer I can mix with your apartment yeah that's I could still see
00:13:16| the glean of lights and then the naked person sleeping on the couch mmm mmm could you smell them no could only smell the beer maybe that's the good part yes ignore the other parts of the
00:13:32| scenario this one in the rain chair of glass chubby cherub hockey glove smell Oh oh yeah that's terrible everyone knows hated though the poop poop smell the
00:13:48| same I mean there are some there's varying degrees but everyone knows that it smells like poop or something that died a while ago it did some research for you anything we're gonna get here
00:13:59| till later but did you know 70% of the populace in a blind inquiry likes to smell their own farts huh I wonder if they were given their own fart and said smell this or if they
00:14:12| like fried apparently there's there's moral dilemma uh people would get after other people there was a whole it was a no-go this is a yeah Princess Bride where he's swapping shots they're
00:14:25| swapping the fart smells but apparently because your gut flora is unique to you it so that as unique as your fingerprint which we discussed in a previous episode I also unique to you is your own diet
00:14:38| so your farts are really your unique smell no one else has your exact part so representation is it's usually smelled it turns people off or eco matter or arts or like it's it's kind of a nasty
00:14:52| smell when you smell your own and you're like ah that's mine you recognize it I'm just thinking how they could use that to identify you it's like can eyeball scan fingerprint fart into this
00:15:04| jar my boys are taking it back home they're gonna do some tests on it but did you know that they think that it's like that because you pass on half of your gut flora etc they're your kids
00:15:20| hmm so your kids fecal matter smells close to yours and that's why you don't mind changing their diaper that's a bullshit I was like that's not true and then I
00:15:31| was like who knows if I had to change some other kids diapers the price not like awful awful shit I changed some nasty diapers and really give it a pain could you imagine change you someone
00:15:43| else's kids diapers maybe even worse I don't know I've done that once but I don't know that the poopy like real like nasty poopy I don't think it lets didn't have a tent on a 1 to 10 yeah they had
00:15:58| like maybe a four just like no big deal so you touched on this did you know space might have us no hmm I heard this a while ago so astronauts when they come back in metalli time they're metallic
00:16:17| yeah any time they come in from outside the ship and come in and take off their suits they put them in the room whatever they can smell their suits they smell different after space than before space
00:16:29| same with any object they bring out with them it smells like burnt burning meat metallic it's no weird so I guess when you leave all of the air around you just disappears so you're only left with the
00:16:47| vacuum of space and solar radiation so this is my super charged particles in general whether it's solar radiation or other particles that are out there and then once you bring them back into the
00:16:58| air they react with it makes them sort of a burning that's menthols what they think huh think no one knows that's creepy as fuck that's right I don't know if I
00:17:09| could handle that so hold on they take it one step further did you NASA talk to i forget the name it's a perfume guy mm-hmm make a perfume that smelled like space that they were using really yeah
00:17:20| during training oh yeah I didn't get to that part we do we do have certified smeller's so those seven different types of smells that were defined they give them a test that has ten vials and they
00:17:33| have to decipher which of the seven have which smells otherwise they're no longer certified I knew if I have a friend who's a who's certified smeller we use them for tests that were like for like
00:17:44| trash bags like they are like a Teflon trash bag Teflon doesn't have a smell and they would seal it up and let it rot and they would say what is the smell like and how bad does it smell and they
00:17:56| do it over a course of like several months because that's exactly what they do in orbit they have to put the trash bag away and hope that the smell doesn't escape like what
00:18:06| bzees they have all sorts of trash not feces though feces get some difference like old same thing with urine usually it's like physical figure but food can smell just as bad as feces in my pee
00:18:17| apple core or something in a little bit of meat you couldn't finish yeah you're right yeah can they bring meat up there no no yeah yeah okay you know the radiate food and baggage
00:18:31| essentially it's a little pouch mylar you know why we have two nostrils I read that you oscillate during the day he goes left and right so that you breathe through one or the other I don't know
00:18:45| why that matters though like why would they do my body why would they be touched on it you literally touched on it so for everyone wondering with your ears you can tell whether our sounds
00:18:57| coming from your left or right because we have too far apart I see its spatial reasoning like we know what's going on spatially you only need one now because the only
00:19:06| gotta suck one you know what get ahead this one got two nostrils because during the day one always break down one is filled with too much mucus it's a very there's always overproduction of mucus
00:19:20| mmm nostril can barely breathe like stuff they get inflamed very easily so what happens is some of these smells we were talking about earlier and you touched on it it's a time related thing
00:19:31| it has to be timed just right so the smell reaches and gets absorbed into this whole factory bulb otherwise you're not going to smell it some molecules move too quick so it'll go through the
00:19:42| slower one and get absorbed others move too slow so like it needs to be absorbed because the air moves too quick oh it's restricting the flow into either one oh that's yeah so it's like if they don't
00:19:57| work this way it's gonna work this way it's pretty badass that the body does this on its own and somehow the body figured it out it's just like this is the way it's got to work I mean we
00:20:07| really gave the body millions of years well not millions but hundreds of thousands of years right you're right and our bodies are stupid I can figure it out in a hundred thousand years body
00:20:17| did I just read this week of pity on Wikipedia article figure it out in a minute while we were also talking about space we know what certain galaxies smelling like you know you see like a
00:20:31| BuzzFeed article once every three month is it that like an approximation of the smell it is and it isn't apparently if all the MA if we know almost all the molecules that make up a
00:20:41| thing like um Sagittarius b2 is made of Peppa formate apparently that's the smell that's whether it's fermented in a natural occurring organic object or whatever can smell like raspberries or
00:20:55| rum cool LT smells like one of the two deliciousness but it probably killing you does it kill you oh you're in the vacuum of space I'm sure you did oh well if you're gonna if you're gonna die
00:21:08| what's less smelly I want to smell they also said you wouldn't be able to smell in space because of the hold no air thing yeah Michael's flow yeah but be cool to be in it I guess you probably
00:21:20| smell your own lungs actually if you were because the vacuum is based on still the earth blood and the air leaving your body yeah I would smell terrible when I sneeze I'm like what the
00:21:30| hell what's in there you can smell your sneezes if you sneeze really hard you've never smelled Jones Ellen lungs when you sneeze really hard when
00:21:39| you're sick no that's don't it's not good that's interesting because you can't smell your own nose do you know why you can't habituation yes also known as neural adaptation baby
00:21:53| whoo-hoo happens with your eyes Evans with your almost any fact of life if you're doing something too much like a did you know you can see your nose at all times you look down just look down
00:22:04| it's there why don't you notice it all day neural adaptation baby your brand is frigging blocks it out it's like tired of this tell you all day
00:22:13| for 24 straight hours that there's a part of your nose you can see all day but I'm wasting your time I'm wasting my time let's just skip it it's sensory overload we don't need that piece of
00:22:23| information everyone look at your nose right now oh yeah we changed your life good night well you notice that's the same thing we go nose blind to things you know it's a Glade commercial yeah
00:22:37| you know it's funny it was a term in our industry the bar restaurant supply before Glade made it famous because I sell air fresheners and on your screen oh my god hmm so return interesting you
00:22:51| know there are disorders that are related to all that can't smell anything there's not such a person is there killed uh Ana's Mia oh come on dude you gotta pronounce that better anosmia yeah
00:23:06| anosmia and that's the condition do you know what a person's called and nos me attic oh so close it's in annoncement nas mek that's pretty good it's like insomnia it's hard
00:23:18| not to say insomnia right right it's an announcement anyway in an odd nick is a person who heads in able to smell only three ways to get there folks birth injury
00:23:32| and like old age brain issue so though the old age one is a daemon prezbo my Prez BIOS Mia Presbyterian like meiosis is like the eyes I think but prismo yeah yeah it's hard to say these things are
00:23:49| difficult we're educated and it's still hard mmm we're really educated so smart can't believe it but uh yeah I can't I it's weird because the the sense of smell is linked to the sense of taste
00:24:06| right so if you can't smell anything I don't think that you can taste anything either you can taste but you can't taste well Oh like half right half of I'll put it
00:24:17| this way so from what I read is you're eating chicken and garlic whatever marsala I don't know reading some delicious flavorful food your tongue can taste the savory part and what would the
00:24:31| other part be maybe yeah it's not sweet and sour it's not would just be savory I have to open up the fish graphic again where the hell are you what can you take sweet sour salty saves like me so it's
00:24:43| probably salty and savory right your tongue can taste the salty and savory of this but as you're eating a food because your new nasal cavity is connected to your mouth as you two humans are going
00:24:54| up into your nose and get into your olfactory bulb so chances are the garlic that you're tasting is actually a smell the thyme the garlic the spice it's usually actually a smell that's why when
00:25:10| they say you remember a taste from your childhood you're more remembering the smell than the taste huh smell is more unique there's more smells though tastes your
00:25:20| sense of taste is really quite dull I think kinda is so we're losing one sense maybe taste yeah although then could you not smell the same I don't know they're not sure
00:25:31| people describe eating something without having the sense of smell is like eating styrofoam I think it's just a texture yeah I could see that did you know people who have an injury to their
00:25:43| smelling capacity whether they be um oh good I was gonna say prefrontal cortex but I don't know if that's true or not it just sounds good I think a lot of smelling happens in the interior I
00:25:55| thought it was the picture yeah I'm gonna pull it up don't want to loop any my good no all you all you good anyway people who have injuries to their smelling part of the brain right
00:26:11| away two things happening across the board this is scientifically proven they have no more appetite for food they will eat they're not like whatever but they don't care as much about it they don't
00:26:21| have favorite foods anyone and they don't want sex anymore what the hell's wrong oh it's saying we're gonna get into the other side of it hot we're getting into
00:26:31| ice there let's go to pheromones and sweat glands Oh ceremony that's what I'm talking about baby yeah so when you first are born you have equine Akron sweat grain sweat
00:26:46| glands are you sure driver nothing no I cried I cried and sweat yeah yeah that's so that's a natural thing I think it's like feet I have a lot of sweat glands just naturally when you're first born I
00:26:56| have written down here bad naughty part smells feet armpit butthole the armpit butthole bad wait what's your daddy what's this category babe body's natural smells I wrote it's
00:27:11| a personal experience this is anecdotal no no like that's where this person stinks like you think of their you know their feet your smelly yeah yeah but the feet are natural clean from birth I well
00:27:23| I think the feet or I'm gonna say that my son's feet sweat more than anyone else and there's something chemical there that causes my feet to sweat so I don't know what that was happening but
00:27:34| yeah it's natural so it's like I think your your your your feet have most of them because he's real sweaty I'm just gonna say anecdotal evidence there and the other types of sweat glands the
00:27:44| sebaceous and the I think it's the appo gram sweat glands they come during puberty puberty so you have fatty sweat glands those babies Hanks areas yeah what's
00:27:55| your under area and then the other ones in the orbit in other areas too but mainly your armpit so it gets kind of weird people doing scientific studies on what people
00:28:09| can actually smell you read this study about people being able to tell whether someone is genetically related to them do you know why we have a census Townsville sense of smell folks it's so
00:28:27| we don't have incest going so they do they did a study on people that were half siblings and full siblings and they said that you can't tell the difference between someone who is just like
00:28:36| genetically different from you and your half sibling so they're they're genetically far enough away that you can't smell them literally you can't smell that their half sibling or
00:28:47| stranger would you say this is called the Westermarck effect I would say that if I could pull up a good good good yeah that is a you are literally unattracted that people have your exact same smell
00:29:02| you actually you're wired to like the smell of strangers erotically more so than anyone in your own family that's a key to you it smells wrong I don't know how to explain it
00:29:14| I tried it yeah they did the nature versus nurture thing to like if you grow up with somebody you're naturally not predisposed to having sex with them I guess that's the way to say are you care
00:29:26| for them Bailey it depends how you want to look at it so you don't want to have sex with them like later even people that have like don't know who their siblings are like they still can sense
00:29:36| that they're not supposed to mix genes with them because their genes will probably not produce a viable babies don't lie baby and boom so your your sense of smell can actually determine
00:29:50| genes it's weird weird 25,000 genes make up the human condition right hmm sir 2 percent of those are dedicated to smell alone huh I think that's one out of
00:30:05| every 30 maybe I did the math wrong 100 over 50 today I could be God yeah that would be map oh yes science Soleil um there's another story but this is loosely
00:30:24| related so there was a guy who fell asleep who had type 2 diabetes and something was wrong with his toes like when you get diabetes your toes start to lose circulation and they extremities
00:30:34| yeah he's don't circulate as well yeah yeah the dog could smell that his extremities were no longer viable and the dog chewed off his toe to at all
00:30:49| I know about stories where they dial nine-one-one that's pretty bad saying first off the phone and push 9-1-1 but to chew up the actual bed this is Lassie and a call center yeah see a dog chewed
00:31:06| off his toe and actually saved him because of like once it get becomes to chronic sue comes dead it starts the filter bad stuff into you so the dog could smell that his toe is
00:31:15| necrotic chopped it off that's bad yes that is pretty badass and they can also send the home they also say that well I don't know if this is a scientific but dogs can smell when
00:31:26| you have certain diseases or cancer actually 100% heard this whether it's true or not I was thinking cancer yeah I just think that's fascinating that like another
00:31:37| animal knows when your have a debilitating disease and there are certain animals I can tell when you're about to die there's a story of one of the well yeah I think I deaf Ken yeah it
00:31:49| would go to the person's bedside when they're within like two days of dying and that's like this is the mark of death that the cat has has cometh and that person would pass away within 24-48
00:32:00| hours was that cat like twelve or fourteen or something ridiculous or something uh he was super old so do you think he knew his own death was coming could he smells I'm death he's he sat
00:32:11| with himself the cat just curled up into it Aroo Burress sleeping tail or Boris is arrow arrow Boris Arora one of us one of those one of those counts
00:32:30| ruborous which is the great TD from a tech on things arrow bars and thank so there's also we've been talking a lot about human smell and before we get away from it I just wanted to say Broca was a
00:32:46| scientist del out of brain ha ha Broca's region his reign yeah region whatever cool guy so anyway he was judging what size these brain parts were compared to other mammals and stuff what
00:33:00| was interesting is that humans our olfactory bulbs were much smaller than say mice dogs other animals so they figured that we would have very good senses of smell
00:33:12| we're inept especially because we're so good at vision we're so good at the other stuff that like we have bad smell well recently light has come into fruition that we don't use smell in the
00:33:22| day-to-day but we have as you mentioned beginning the pockets we've pretty good that smell they think that it has less to do with the size of the brain portion as the neurons connected with that sense
00:33:35| that our nose uses similar amount percentage-wise of neurons as like elephants mice and a couple other animals dogs our stove I believe the head because they you
00:33:46| smell for social cues and territorial things and help the food and all sorts of crap but humans are not as bad as we thought we were and that was broke his fault because he was unlocking the brain
00:33:59| and it was kind of just figured he ones don't have a big percentage so it's just not hmm you were you seemed like you were researching vision oh yeah I wanted it I want to piggyback that yes because
00:34:12| I wanted to see like which at which mammals had the best sense of smell you mentioned my son elephants I don't know that I have anything to add on those particularly okay
00:34:28| I wanted it so like I guess the sense of smell tells you whether something is putrid or rotten and it saves you from potentially eating something that will kill you it also serves is it like a
00:34:42| sexual so there's the incestual avoidance but there's a sexual element to like with colognes like people are trying to mix together certain flowers certain certain magical aromas that
00:34:54| allows you to become a track dead or attractive to other people that's a billion dollar industry every year and that's the world yeah did you know science is its back and forth on this
00:35:07| one isn't it were you fall oh well we did research on attraction and I guess it depends on how close you are over the other person because it's like within like a foot and
00:35:18| a half to two feet you can smell them but most people don't come within that range so if you're trying to attract somebody that is just a passerby major you're really trying to turn your own
00:35:31| cellphone with your own Cologne because your own horniness will come out as your own excitement visually and they'll be able to pick you out and say that person has something going on so it's not real
00:35:44| it's mental unless they're an intimate partner who's always within that range and then I guess you'd Flitz wear your Cologne should probably turn that other person
00:35:55| on so that you can get it on that's so weird I just thought of this so someone who came into my store smelled like one of my ex-girlfriends because she wore the same perfume
00:36:09| oh and it was a once a Tommy Hilfiger or something knockoff or maybe a new Tommy Hilfiger whatever it was very similar to what she used to wear and I was I was more attracted to her taken aback like
00:36:27| wait a second wow that's hey I remember oh yeah needed the right notes for you it did know that smell wouldn't have turned me on by itself I wouldn't be like well
00:36:41| what is that like but it was a memory based turn on so have you ever heard of a perfumer someone who is creating perfumes they have something called a perfume organ which the person who
00:36:56| created it said it was almost like smells have like different octaves and there are certain smells that go together like cords so the organ is literally laid out like the three-tiered
00:37:06| organ and there are probably like hundreds of smells so if someone's like combining them they're almost like playing an organ to create the smell that's why does hot stuff yeah that's
00:37:18| sexy yeah and these people are certified so it's like you have to be stars the rock stars of perfume literally you know I kind of want to go to like a symposium with those people and then be like
00:37:30| they're like pull you aside be like check this out and then just like they have like a little secret if they're just effing non-stop at these symposiums so these even just as follow along with
00:37:41| the whole theme the idea if you if you did happen to lay the most women using your perfume or cologne I mean that's gotta that's validity right there this is a scientific study for psyches
00:37:59| Testament yeah testament to your product so they took this an extra level further with there was a novel and a film which I'm sure you love perfume the story of murderer
00:38:10| there's a man oh you discuss this I think yeah go for it so the story goes that there was a man who was born with perfect smell he could smell anything
00:38:22| her mouth sounds terrible so it became so enraptured by the smells but the things he loved most were the living things because it was a transient thing and the smell would go away and
00:38:34| he'd be so distraught that he couldn't bring back the smell that he began to dive into perfumes and how to obtain smells from things and he eventually starts to try to obtain smells from
00:38:47| those he's attracted to and the only way to do that would be to kill them the store told murderer but in the end he starts to collect all these different smells and combine them
00:38:56| in such a way that he can control people the smells and then he become so sexually attractive by just the smell alone that people just want him they can't figure out why but they just they
00:39:10| want to dive right in and rip him apart that's dark yeah but it's also awesome weird well in light of sexual smells and everything else you all enjoy the smell like some nice armpits or sweats oh my
00:39:33| groin smells some pungent sex organs smells so I don't think I've ever liked an armpit smell I could definitely agree with you on some of the sexual area smells I guess
00:39:46| if you're in sync it smells good but not most of the time but some of the time some other times it smells like an old hamburger or something but um but sometimes it's not that bad you're
00:40:08| just like huh and then it's time to enjoy yourself have a feast join the buffet smorgasbord I think you do I do I I know I do so on a day-to-day basis those smells are kind of repulsive kind
00:40:34| of salty kind of and not doing a funny smell yeah yeah but when you're in the moment or you're in heat as we were to say in the mist it become hot they become steamy good good it in the way of
00:40:52| fart smells good your own fart thank you it's my smell that's my sexual yeah you got a piece of steak and use fighting it yeah you can keep going and you get lost in
00:41:06| it and there's a little hypnotic nough stew it there's want to dig in there you want to get into all the smells that no one else can get it tastes and feels and usually get lost to get wild and get
00:41:18| crazy and there's you know I earlier in the podcast I said smell is the most primitive sense in a way mmm in that it's I think it's related to that it's like just feel it it turns me into an
00:41:35| animal animalistic that's exactly and that's how I feel and related to that unbeknownst to me they actually did some studies on this people who report or actually show better senses of smell
00:41:51| they have better sex lives women who are more sensitive to smell have more orgasms oh that's nice it's a true thing it doesn't equate to men apparently men who smell better or a
00:42:10| baseline all of us believe on them but in general people who were more sensitive to smell have a better sex life probably for what I just mentioned because it's more here to the finite
00:42:28| with out words mmm I can't buy more explored I don't know how to explain it so my segue to this is that if you were to get home I get really down and dirty and then you actually procreate and make
00:42:46| a baby and a woman is pregnant she actually has a hyper sense of smell and be true ya rabb about that there are certain types of smells that you can tell when you're you're hungry and your
00:42:59| body needs certain protein certain salts different things that a pregnant woman can tell whether she's gonna like something or not not only by smelling it but smelling it like 30 feet away like
00:43:10| she can tell whether someone's cooking something like the next house over and she goes that's disgusting and so excited scientific thing like it's just proof
00:43:18| yeah and I've seen it anecdotally too like my wife does not have to go anywhere near any type of food that she doesn't like when she's pregnant she goes that's disgusting and she she
00:43:30| wanted she can't even stand it she has to leave that's more for you but I guess it's the it's kind of a weird thing though that you're like as a pregnant woman who needs to figure out like what
00:43:43| her baby needs that's an essential thing to like figure out that you know don't take these like essential amino acids and like that food doesn't have it so that is disgusting right now but this
00:43:53| food does so that's most delicious I'm craving it so that feeds into like here's food cravings yeah well I thought it was all weird because the smell we've been talking about is about molecules
00:44:06| that go into our nose here we're talking about something it's not a few feet away it's like 30 feet away who do you eat away yeah after a limit to human smell I don't know that there is I mean downwind
00:44:18| is is downwind definable distance the only thing I did see what is was like when they're testing people for smells so you do up like a factor of two so they like they range quite a bit it's
00:44:29| almost like um what's the like a exponential curve yeah hyperbolic curve about how well you can smell so they do a test on like a huge range to figure out how well you
00:44:41| can smell those seven different types hmm so it's very it's an ill-defined science except when you get down to like gas chromatographs which use like a like I'll just define
00:44:55| how this parts per million parts per million thing it's uh it's like so if you're shooting a particle through like space just straight ahead and you attach a piece of radiation to it
00:45:08| a little eye on to it and then charge it like that piece of ion will pull down that molecule then molecules like a certain weight it's like either light or heavy and it takes longer to pull it
00:45:19| down so a gas chromatograph will attach to certain size and weight mass particles and pull them down so you can tell how far they travel after they get pulled down
00:45:32| that makes sense I'd follow you but what does it got to do with people so in order to tell like whether say there's like harmful things in the air so a gas chromatograph can tell you what what
00:45:45| family of things is in the air it will tell you like different combinations of molecules so you'd be able to figure out that you have like an alcohol or like a different base I gently box a lace or uh
00:45:58| fentanyl or this yeah I guess so where I'm going with is the like the other Avenue of like scientific smells is like the gas chromatograph feel I feel like scientifically figuring out what the
00:46:11| smell is based on its base compounds other than a human being who does this for like all the time naturally passively and can kind of figure it out based on the thousands of smells that
00:46:23| they know tens of thousands hundreds of thousands so the science based on is kind of strange too because you have like weird combinations of things that smell completely different it really
00:46:35| depends on what the combination is so the science is kind of hazy it goes back to the smelling things and testing based on the different levels doubling exponentially so I lost you
00:46:49| there I get you I didn't know where you're going there no no I totally get that that's essentially the humans are doing what science is trying to do right now but yeah they didn't they don't have
00:47:03| smell-o-vision yet so it smell-o-vision the UH the other funny thing is you kind of touched on it we're um when we smell a thing like let's say coffee I think I saw a YouTube video
00:47:15| over this mmm we're smelling like so many different things it's chemicals different compounds different acetyl menifee de arbol whole acid a tuna I'm making up words now but they sound
00:47:30| scientific yeah all these smells go in here go into your nose smell what did you say smell the snella word name it is that the thing I saw so it
00:47:43| kind of sounds awesome that Clojure Snell that's awesome anyway all these smells go in here and they go in and then your brain does essentially what you do for what do you see a blurry
00:47:56| vision you don't look at individual photons coming back at you like I can't look at photons pointing out a door I have to see all of them so so time here goes on
00:48:06| here Oh time to the edge of go time the doorknob a photon here and I get the image that I my brain says that's the door your nose does the same thing I get this smell this smell there's this
00:48:16| chemical reaction there's this chemical there's a compound here there's a compound theater and it forms what I know is coffee perfect I know it's a strong coffee or a lighter coffee but I
00:48:27| know it's coffee but my brain doesn't break down the individuals like I can't go oh that's one eight coffee that's another particle that's in coffee you just know the image coffee with our
00:48:40| nose I thought that was interesting yeah that it's the varying degrees of all the different components but we can't tell the components apart no not that good maybe we could I'm not
00:48:51| sure but maybe a brain feels like it's easier to just do this because you get a lot of number 7 of 15 all over the world let's not confuse the poor guy let's just wait till all of them are combined
00:49:03| this is coffee pal this is always coffee so let's so that we talked about perfumers the other side of the coin is flavor ists so I read about this one flavor astern aim was
00:49:14| Pamela Lowe she's the grandmother of Captain Crunch so like the way they incorporate flavor into Captain Crunch is that you can bake it that way like this is just like
00:49:26| physically impossible to bake Captain Crunch and make it taste that way so she developed like an oil that she could apply to the outside of the Captain Crunch
00:49:35| like spray it on there so that you could taste the notes so that are part of Captain Crunch like Captain Crunch has a certain smell a certain taste and I guarantee that almost everyone knows
00:49:45| what that is as long as they've eaten it once I could taste it right now you know kind of hungry crunchy hmm hmm but there's there's entire divisions of people it instead of
00:49:59| actually putting in like I think Captain Crunch was like a mixture of like brown sugar and like oats and wheat or something but you can't bake it the way they do make mash man manufacturing so
00:50:11| they have people that are dedicated to like recreating the smell of something the taste of something using other chemicals that are easily applied which is and not copyrighted I don't know
00:50:25| their copyright or no I don't know if you can use that if you use that taste on like a candy bar or something now that you can recreate um coca-cola and all that that could you formula exact
00:50:37| agree this copyrighted I okay so can you use the ingredients would it taste the same what in different quantities or something in different order I don't know no because you could you swap like
00:50:56| they're almost so essential at like the certain pieces are necessary in certain combinations and certain ratios that if you change one I don't know it like they're people with entire careers based
00:51:08| on this too like what could you modify to make it taste the same I agree but and we just talked about what smell is and it's literally sent an aroma smell it's literally can't
00:51:27| molecules that come off of a thing and find two olfactory bulbs for receptors that go to the bulbs but so the number of receptors hasn't changed the number of bulbs hasn't changed what's changed
00:51:42| the amount of molecules that by chance work their way to their right kind of to rephrase that question smell is not changing with ingredients that's true so what changes the amount of chemicals
00:51:59| that bind with the amount of receptors in my nose I think it's this they probably use those some like similar the similarity of things that are in the same family and then mix them back
00:52:11| together in a certain role that gives off a fragrance I think that's how they drink your pod my nose so what's going on in my nose for me to get Captain Crunch smell this is a different one
00:52:23| knockoff brand that doesn't doesn't taste quite the same let's say it even uses skin ingredients but it just doesn't doesn't taste the same does it's not say what's happening I don't know I
00:52:33| just know that it's got corn for crunch boats for punch and stays crunchy even in milk so my guess is that ratio you were talking about directly relates to how many molecules of X find with
00:52:53| olfactory bulbs and molecules of ly fine with olfactory bulbs and molecules of Z bind with or bacter bulbs so that I could drink you know is so important it makes my brain think one way but if the
00:53:07| x y and z is off just by the amount it smells different hmm I know it sounds stupid and common a basic but that's why it is so let's let's segue into things that smell like
00:53:25| other things to pretend it for some reason so like a corpse flower carrion flower it smells like dead meat like that and it's a biological advantage because it actually brings like flies
00:53:42| and different insects to it to pollinate little other animals we need it exactly so it protects it while it's convenient fornicating at the same time alright but it's kind of it's bizarre though because
00:53:55| how does a plant know to mimic dead flesh of an animal do you think just one by chance did that it reproduced so much I mean I don't know it's like yeah just randomly like genetically modified
00:54:12| mutated itself to I mean it's probably not like choosing to do so it just happens to be a not by editing in Fitness a certain thing yeah I know I just I don't that's
00:54:27| just something that's amazing that there exists something that puts off that pungent and odor that it's survived I guess if it just happens once it's like that one flower is gonna be good enough
00:54:38| for because it's such an evolutionary advantage that's gonna be good forever not forever well until another flower comes back eventually we know until we run out of meat and people want to eat
00:54:50| meat and all animals are like vegetarians eat em hmm vultures are just chowing down on corpse flowers so did you get income did you get into like skunks no I didn't why is
00:55:05| that is that effective on just us mammals or every animal or what oh hoping you got in this skunks I was really hoping you did because I'm curious no I did not no I don't I'm
00:55:22| blanking on it they're gonna skip over that and I'm winding down folks you are coming up i I did I am listen that's okay where I wanted to end this is that smell is super interesting for
00:55:35| another reason so Vsauce did an episode and he broke down the word olfactory right check his podcast he watches ours when one of his favorites anyway he's he's
00:55:47| pretty good he's coming up through the ranks he's briefly got took him out during the little podcast olfactory odor makes up the first part full oh well they think it's based on odor and
00:55:59| connector II um to make what's clear it is olfactory tea doesn't make the smells right it kind of does because we're not taking these molecules and just shooting them all the way up into our brain we're
00:56:16| taking these molecules absorbing them into our our olfactory bulbs and olfactory receptors and they make our receptors react a certain way diffuses electrons differently travels up
00:56:29| retained if gives us different impulses and then that sends a message to her brain about how something smells so really we still don't know how anything smells it's
00:56:39| coming into our body we're reacting to it and it's our version of smell hmm I don't I mean I guess you could almost say about any sense what would smell it's extra weird
00:56:52| because when you smell something it becomes part of you if I smell dance fart near now me a little bit a little bit of him just got in my body in my nose that's the other reason is have
00:57:08| sexual toe if you smell someone sex parts but but you're smelling them pieces of them are going up into your body and you're absorbing it and reacting to it
00:57:24| I'm primal Bette so I'm sexy about it something wild about it and you're winding down but I'm gonna add an aside please do so a sunk skunks smell anal glands they produce the
00:57:41| theall and the thiol is actually what they call or mercaptan and more captain is like a form of an oniony smell which humans actually produce naturally so if you smell like a garlic that's like a
00:57:54| bass element of what the skunk is spraying it with it's kind of bizarre it's concentrated yeah and the feel is a bunch of stuff that probably no one cares about but they also said that the
00:58:06| home remedies are ineffective the humane society made oh paste the Humane Society of the United States recommends treating dogs or yourself if you get sprayed hydrogen peroxide baking soda
00:58:20| dishwashing liquid that's the solution to disinfect simply say kid volcano but okay I guess so peroxide baking soda and then dishwashing oh I think said vinegar I'm sorry yeah well I think the peroxide
00:58:34| is a mate I think they're both basic aren't they though your basic I don't know well folks thanks for joining us today we talked about the anterior cingulate cortex we
00:58:49| talked about how incest happens every single day and I was like incest in here you can avoid incest by smelling your partner pheromones are they real or are they not real no how close do you have
00:59:04| to get 67% of people enjoy their own farts mmm I know I do I do as well people who enjoy smells and have some more sensitive smells have lots of sex
00:59:19| folks so yes sniffing them roses and sniffing mmm but Jays had pee pees I thought you said orgasms it's like they might not have enough sex but when they have sex they have fun too
00:59:31| organisms but I guess they have more sex because they like sex more right women who knows it's the faculty or power of perceiving odors folks and it smells like these stinks but it doesn't it's
00:59:47| all about leggins mm-hmm all about the old factory mucosa damn it's all about the mucous nerve receptors in the olfactory Broca's area the limbic system memories Pamela Lowe Cap'n Crunch baby
01:00:06| perfumers perfume story of a murderer perfume we talk about nasal congestion smoking brain injury to eat a meal yep in this area that's not we're all down Columbus folks sebaceous glands start
01:00:22| getting out there and sniffing weird shit natural gas boom wait a mess CEO that smells lighter fluid sniffing glue sniff it get high open anything I don't care sniff stuff go up to a girl
01:00:35| and sniff her she's not gonna be bothered that's time don't do that to her creep oh yeah so keep your sniffer in your pants folks not tomorrow if you can't adhere to that
01:00:51| maybe rethink everything thanks for joining us thanks for donating to the socials thanks for hitting up our like button thanks writing up two retweets thanks for hitting the heart
01:01:03| thanks for sniffing on us we should make one for a sniff like checked you out [Music] just check in the air near you thanks those for checking on us we
01:01:17| appreciate the f-bomb out of it and we like you like you a lot Thanks good in X here just read now good night
