Speaker:

check 1 2 well

Speaker:

hello there boyfriend how are you this fine day

Speaker:

I'm really good is it working

Speaker:

yes excellent

Speaker:

let's not talk shit I'm afraid to ask

Speaker:

but I have a great question

Speaker:

I don't even know what I was gonna say

Speaker:

I'm so disturbed right now

Speaker:

welcome to afraid to ask hi

Speaker:

I shouldn't be afraid to ask anything yeah

Speaker:

why would I be afraid that you send stuff to an editor

Speaker:

so what did I say that was so inappropriate

Speaker:

can I reiterate when do eggs expire

Speaker:

oh cause we're just talking about

Speaker:

that's actually been recently updated

Speaker:

it has since we recorded a podcast last week

Speaker:

so it's called AMA no

Speaker:

not since last week

Speaker:

AMA advanced maternal age used to be age 40 and above

Speaker:

but now we're actually singing 35 and above age

Speaker:

you can't fuck that mature ass

Speaker:

oh my God

Speaker:

you're really inappropriate just starting off strong

Speaker:

okay AMA is this is uh

Speaker:

just said advanced maternal age

Speaker:

so this would be the age at which

Speaker:

it is healthy to conceive

Speaker:

there are more risks associated with

Speaker:

and advanced age into female

Speaker:

because your OVA

Speaker:

do tend to have more genetic abnormalities as you age

Speaker:

OVA is plural of ovary OVA

Speaker:

so it's an egg okay

Speaker:

so did you know that

Speaker:

you are born with the amount of eggs

Speaker:

you will have for your entire life

Speaker:

did not whereas men regenerate not regenerate

Speaker:

produce more sperm all of the time

Speaker:

women don't create new eggs

Speaker:

they're born so

Speaker:

baby girls have the same amount of eggs

Speaker:

that they will have the rest of their lives

Speaker:

well

Speaker:

actually less because once you start ovulating monthly

Speaker:

you lose an egg

Speaker:

but you never make more and unbelievable

Speaker:

and so so they're very rare

Speaker:

so the man who gives a shit

Speaker:

millions of sperms yeah

Speaker:

because they can't get the job done

Speaker:

we're regenerating is that what really what it is

Speaker:

they're so you're right there's so many of them yeah

Speaker:

and we just why our house

Speaker:

you mean you have

Speaker:

or just like we had billions to get the job done

Speaker:

it's kind of unbelievable

Speaker:

yeah it is

Speaker:

it's actually it's quite a fascinating process

Speaker:

millions of sperm

Speaker:

one of them get is this might be a dumb question

Speaker:

is that because the obvious answer is it

Speaker:

do we have millions of sperm

Speaker:

are we kind of like cause I was with this um

Speaker:

I don't know if this is a good comparison

Speaker:

but I was with this management company once

Speaker:

I was waiting for something and they

Speaker:

what did you know

Speaker:

he says with this management company once

Speaker:

and you were talking about your sperm to them

Speaker:

no they signed like a shitload of comics

Speaker:

just fucking everybody

Speaker:

they would sign everybody open miker and there

Speaker:

you know what they're just hoping one of those

Speaker:

one of them one of them was Dave Chappelle yeah

Speaker:

they were just hoping for the Dave Chappelle

Speaker:

that's the sperm they would sign everybody

Speaker:

that's like one way to get high quality

Speaker:

other people cultivate talent

Speaker:

and only sign someone that they truly believe in

Speaker:

which I think is that's what the egg

Speaker:

well there is theory to that

Speaker:

in the sense that

Speaker:

not all sperm have the motility of a fucking warrior

Speaker:

so like some of them are slower

Speaker:

there's a little tail right

Speaker:

so like the faster

Speaker:

more aggressive sperm will reach the egg first

Speaker:

and it's the first sperm that attaches to the egg

Speaker:

so the ones that aren't as good don't make it

Speaker:

that's what I was

Speaker:

I didn't say that as I was getting millions of them

Speaker:

why can't you have five

Speaker:

like you know what I'm picturing

Speaker:

why are there so many shitty sperm

Speaker:

great question that's where I was going

Speaker:

I didn't get there but I was real

Speaker:

I was legitimately trying to say

Speaker:

is that so we get the very best firm

Speaker:

and we're just signing the open mikers to get the very

Speaker:

very good comedian

Speaker:

you know I'm picturing

Speaker:

I'm picturing like all these

Speaker:

I just dump out like 20 eggs

Speaker:

and like

Speaker:

the one that goes down the best and the strongest

Speaker:

in the most robust is the one that wins

Speaker:

I think it's interesting the differences

Speaker:

it absolutely I was picturing just now

Speaker:

the whole time you were talking dump out eggs

Speaker:

made me picture something

Speaker:

but then also I pictured all my little sperms

Speaker:

in an American Ninja Warrior type of competition

Speaker:

where they're all fighting

Speaker:

and they're all running side by side

Speaker:

and then that little sperm runs up

Speaker:

and hits that red button boom

Speaker:

that's your kid do you know what I think is interesting

Speaker:

you remember when we had a discussion about like

Speaker:

they move like crazy right

Speaker:

they're swimming like to win the race

Speaker:

this was not on the podcast by the way

Speaker:

what talking about this oh no

Speaker:

this was just in bed one night

Speaker:

this is pillow talk the way that we discuss things yeah

Speaker:

you're saying sperm move yes

Speaker:

why don't you feel them in your mouth Jeez

Speaker:

or on your chest or in your hand

Speaker:

why doesn't your dirty washcloth move

Speaker:

I don't know I wish

Speaker:

it would crawl itself to the fucking laundry room

Speaker:

it should if you had a bunch of champions in there

Speaker:

isn't that interesting it is moving at a rapid rate

Speaker:

it is

Speaker:

do you think it's because they instantly die when they

Speaker:

when they hit the air they don't instantly die

Speaker:

but they do die pretty quickly

Speaker:

and the other thing is that it's it's microscopic right

Speaker:

do they so they die when they

Speaker:

they don't have a very long longevity after okay

Speaker:

release interesting sperm do last

Speaker:

which is this is kind of cool

Speaker:

more than a day usually inside of a vagina

Speaker:

so like when you're trying to conceive

Speaker:

you don't have to have sex

Speaker:

exactly when you think that you're ovulating

Speaker:

you could wow like a day or two before or after

Speaker:

and some of them will still survive

Speaker:

so we actually recommend having sex every other day

Speaker:

to get pregnant yeah

Speaker:

you recommend that

Speaker:

but I gotta find somebody to do it with me

Speaker:

whenever I hear that they go like

Speaker:

oh we recommend sex once a week

Speaker:

you're like yeah

Speaker:

well I gotta move a guy

Speaker:

I can't just go to a bar no

Speaker:

I mean when people are trying to have a baby

Speaker:

they have sex every single day right

Speaker:

you actually can't make enough sperm every day

Speaker:

so it's kind of like you're shooting like half blinks

Speaker:

ah like you're you're doing it

Speaker:

but you don't have as much as much

Speaker:

you want a bunch to like really increase your owns

Speaker:

you know how there are misconceptions about conception

Speaker:

about like birth control in the pull out method

Speaker:

whether it works or not things like that

Speaker:

I always heard

Speaker:

I'm glad you kind of confirmed that the air kills this

Speaker:

but I never heard that Eric

Speaker:

cause that's why whenever I'm have sex with a girl

Speaker:

and I don't have a condom

Speaker:

I'll shoot it into her vagina

Speaker:

but just from an inch away

Speaker:

so that way it all dies as it goes in

Speaker:

you're so gross it's there safe

Speaker:

was this a good idea to podcast with your girlfriend

Speaker:

cause right now I'm kind of like you

Speaker:

yeah Chris

Speaker:

should we start

Speaker:

recording that was all just me asking some questions oh

Speaker:

great so

Speaker:

you just disgusted me for 20 minutes before we started

Speaker:

I have a question coming in

Speaker:

and it actually has to do with

Speaker:

can I see one more thing oh god

Speaker:

isn't it crazy how much harder it is for a woman

Speaker:

I mean this is goes without saying

Speaker:

but isn't it crazy how for

Speaker:

let me let me say this for a guy

Speaker:

it's actually harder for me

Speaker:

choose your words wisely right now

Speaker:

I'm having trouble choosing my words

Speaker:

it's actually harder for a guy to

Speaker:

you're not even on thin ice

Speaker:

you're on like thin sperm air right now with me

Speaker:

so you know how having a baby is a miracle yeah

Speaker:

you create this human being

Speaker:

do you really for a guy you don't do shit

Speaker:

it's easier for me to have a baby than not have a baby

Speaker:

like it's actually harder for me to not have a baby

Speaker:

than have a baby to create this life

Speaker:

like actually

Speaker:

it's like one extra step to not create a person

Speaker:

it's one extra step

Speaker:

is that nuts by not doing anything people everywhere

Speaker:

it's not wild I also thought it was interesting if like

Speaker:

the billions of people in the world

Speaker:

that means people have sex

Speaker:

or have had sex over a billion times right

Speaker:

that's a lot of sex tons of sex um

Speaker:

yeah I guess it is an effort right to like wrap it up

Speaker:

yeah you got some type of birth control or something

Speaker:

versus just like

Speaker:

yep that's noise I make this brings me to this question

Speaker:

which kind of ties in here I'm really unattractive

Speaker:

hey Jamie and Erica

Speaker:

I have a question I well

Speaker:

basically I was with somebody in the condom broke

Speaker:

and it's been about two days

Speaker:

so I can't take the Plan B pill

Speaker:

I'm just wondering what my options are

Speaker:

is there a plan C I was not on birth control um

Speaker:

is there anything that you can tell me about

Speaker:

about the situation that might be able to help me

Speaker:

thank you

Speaker:

wow

Speaker:

so just I didn't know that was what the question was

Speaker:

how long ago

Speaker:

how long ago did you get that

Speaker:

cause she said two days ago

Speaker:

let me ask the voicemail let me ask the voicemail

Speaker:

what was your question

Speaker:

cause you actually have more time in two days oh

Speaker:

that's good news so if it's like a brand new call

Speaker:

you're good if it's been like a week

Speaker:

then you're not good I have terrible news

Speaker:

it was a year ago this podcast is gonna be really sweet

Speaker:

we have to figure something out immediately

Speaker:

and that is when we record a podcast

Speaker:

I have to contact this person

Speaker:

I have to listen to all the messages first

Speaker:

this one's very time sensitive

Speaker:

we need to have press 1 you know

Speaker:

when you leave a voice message

Speaker:

and it goes press 1 for urgent

Speaker:

I feel really terrible about this okay

Speaker:

well first of all

Speaker:

if you're getting all medical advice from a podcast

Speaker:

we need to fix that can we help her at least

Speaker:

so say this message is 1 week old

Speaker:

can we at least help her

Speaker:

what are some names for the baby

Speaker:

oh my god I feel really bad about this okay

Speaker:

first of all

Speaker:

you need to know this about me going forward

Speaker:

and all doctors in general right

Speaker:

we talked about this before in a previous episode

Speaker:

about the legalities of giving medical advice for free

Speaker:

I can get into serious trouble

Speaker:

what do you want from her like 100 bucks

Speaker:

I get what you're saying

Speaker:

I don't have a whole medical list of all of this

Speaker:

patients I understand history allergies

Speaker:

surgical history family history etc

Speaker:

this is not medical advice

Speaker:

so when I talk about this

Speaker:

this is not medical advice

Speaker:

this is specifically education with entertain

Speaker:

fuck it your own risk listen

Speaker:

fuck your own do it your own

Speaker:

we almost called the podcast that

Speaker:

but you know what fuck your own risk

Speaker:

there's already three podcasts

Speaker:

no there's not

Speaker:

did you really look that one up

Speaker:

I kind of like that one

Speaker:

kind of like it alright

Speaker:

so I really feel bad about this

Speaker:

so so point being

Speaker:

you always see doctors on social media being like

Speaker:

this is not medical advice

Speaker:

but sure specifically like if you have this kid problem

Speaker:

go see your doctor so there's differences okay

Speaker:

we'll make sure

Speaker:

there will be a disclaimer for every episode

Speaker:

that freeze us from any possible absolutely

Speaker:

thank you it's expensive

Speaker:

so you're let's

Speaker:

let's pretend

Speaker:

this person still had a shot at getting rid of this

Speaker:

baby they don't want with a stranger

Speaker:

oh my gosh can we play it again

Speaker:

did they see stranger

Speaker:

I don't this makes me feel

Speaker:

let's play it one more time wait

Speaker:

hey Jamie and Erica

Speaker:

um I have a question

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

well basically

Speaker:

I was with somebody in the condom broke

Speaker:

and it's been about two days

Speaker:

so I can't take the Plan B pill

Speaker:

I'm just wondering what my options are

Speaker:

I was not on birth control

Speaker:

um okay

Speaker:

sounds to me like a um

Speaker:

let me ask you a question

Speaker:

plan a let's say is like abstinence and or an ID

Speaker:

Plan B is like

Speaker:

wow I we

Speaker:

we you go to the

Speaker:

explain me a prescription

Speaker:

uh actually it's not

Speaker:

it's available over the counter now

Speaker:

but it's usually behind the pharmacy wall

Speaker:

so you have to ask the pharmacist for it

Speaker:

can I ask you a question so a follow up

Speaker:

she didn't ask us but I was just looking online

Speaker:

what are your thoughts on Plan C

Speaker:

do you know about this this is

Speaker:

you change your name and you move out of the country

Speaker:

no hope

Speaker:

hope the girl doesn't find you

Speaker:

do you know

Speaker:

how much shittier it is for a girl to get pregnant

Speaker:

with a stranger than a guy

Speaker:

you know why she's she ends up with a baby yeah

Speaker:

and also gets pregnant and has to deal with all of that

Speaker:

hmm but sure

Speaker:

move out of the country Jamie no

Speaker:

this is a serious thing I'm gonna follow up

Speaker:

so Plan B is actually really cool and it lasts

Speaker:

it is more effective the sooner you take it yeah

Speaker:

like as soon as you have unprotected sex

Speaker:

like it's advantageous to have

Speaker:

so say you don't like other birth control forms

Speaker:

I keep one right in my mouth like right here

Speaker:

I break it almost like poison

Speaker:

I'm ready to go at all times

Speaker:

I can just immediately too bad it's not cyanide

Speaker:

so essentially the sooner you take it

Speaker:

the better the chance that you will not have this yeah

Speaker:

so Plan B basically so it's a progesterone hormone yeah

Speaker:

it's cool because it's just a pill

Speaker:

it's nothing invasive

Speaker:

so the progesterone is like is like the pill no

Speaker:

well there are progesterone birth control pills

Speaker:

and then there's estrogen progesterone combo cocky

Speaker:

right that they just go this is the pill lots of pills

Speaker:

pills that make your it's a high speed

Speaker:

but do you think that's pretty cocky

Speaker:

that they call birth control the pill

Speaker:

what if I would what if I was like

Speaker:

hey tonight you wanna wanna take a look at the dick

Speaker:

there's so many

Speaker:

like to call the pill that's like the biggest

Speaker:

but I guess maybe it is the best pill

Speaker:

what do you think oh

Speaker:

that's a most important pill question

Speaker:

if you ask a doctor what their favorite medication is

Speaker:

you're gonna get a variety of answers

Speaker:

based on our specialties but that's an important one

Speaker:

the pill the birth control pill

Speaker:

please continue what's important

Speaker:

because it doesn't just help with birth control

Speaker:

but we can get into that later

Speaker:

progesterone progesterone prevents ovulation

Speaker:

so you can actually take it after you have sex

Speaker:

if you haven't ovulated it yet

Speaker:

it prevents you from ovulating

Speaker:

so you can't get pregnant

Speaker:

which is really really cool um

Speaker:

it can block fertilization

Speaker:

or it can actually keep a fertilized egg from like

Speaker:

implanting into your uterus

Speaker:

so you've got up to 72 hours

Speaker:

72 hours 3 days

Speaker:

let me see what this voicemail was haha

Speaker:

so that's the pill the pill who

Speaker:

I'm not joking this was the first one

Speaker:

did you know that there's an IUD

Speaker:

so that's an intrauterine device

Speaker:

it's a little copper yeah

Speaker:

there's other I just say it like that

Speaker:

don't know

Speaker:

I don't know no answer no

Speaker:

I don't know where that came from where I put it

Speaker:

but I can put one in you

Speaker:

yeah okay

Speaker:

ID up to 5 days after unprotected sex

Speaker:

you can put that in hold on a second

Speaker:

this could be good say this voice smells a few days old

Speaker:

but I could still I could

Speaker:

I can contact this person

Speaker:

before this podcast comes out

Speaker:

and we will get to them within 5 days

Speaker:

you're saying they could have an IUD

Speaker:

which I thought was only prophylactic

Speaker:

no pun intended and we could put that in

Speaker:

and we could retroactively be on birth control correct

Speaker:

holy holy fucking like

Speaker:

not like Black Mirror type of shit change in the past

Speaker:

interesting too is um

Speaker:

I was asked to write a woman's health article

Speaker:

for a magazine really recently

Speaker:

actually about the safety of Plan B

Speaker:

how often you can take it

Speaker:

did you can take it as many times as you need to wow

Speaker:

it's a it's a lot of a hormone though

Speaker:

and there's side effects you might feel Moody

Speaker:

you might feel crampy

Speaker:

your periods definitely can be affected

Speaker:

so I mean it's not a great thing to take all the time

Speaker:

and I think the biggest thing is um

Speaker:

the fear of gosh what if you like

Speaker:

run out right now and you missed your window

Speaker:

well sometimes people will have like one in stock

Speaker:

maybe they don't like to take birth control every day

Speaker:

because a daily

Speaker:

birth control medication can cause more side effects

Speaker:

so say a woman is like well

Speaker:

just in case the condom breaks right

Speaker:

or just in case we don't have a condom or whatever yeah

Speaker:

do you think that if a woman

Speaker:

you're saying you could take it a bunch of times

Speaker:

wherever and it's safe

Speaker:

which is great

Speaker:

but do you think in the third time it's like hey

Speaker:

stop buying rubbers from the fucking dollar store

Speaker:

well yeah

Speaker:

or stop having over drunk unprotected sex

Speaker:

we don't know what to do because it's risky

Speaker:

because what if you forget to take it

Speaker:

then you would potentially have a pregnancy

Speaker:

that you didn't desire

Speaker:

or it also can be cost prohibitive

Speaker:

I mean Plan B isn't cheap

Speaker:

it's not no

Speaker:

and it's not usually covered by like

Speaker:

insurances or other healthcare plans

Speaker:

so you're paying out of pocket

Speaker:

I want a couple hundred bucks

Speaker:

well it's cheaper than having a baby

Speaker:

yep fuck yes

Speaker:

it is is it cheaper than $300,000 over a lifetime

Speaker:

is that the average

Speaker:

I thought it was even more than that

Speaker:

I just made up a number the average of having a kid

Speaker:

average of having kids I wanted

Speaker:

I thought it was half a million right

Speaker:

let's look it up I'd love to be depressed today

Speaker:

Savage multiply it by cost

Speaker:

do you ever talk to friends who don't have kids

Speaker:

and they try to make you feel better about having

Speaker:

I don't know if we should have this information

Speaker:

I don't know we should have this information as parents

Speaker:

I'm fine with it 500,000 each kid

Speaker:

is it more

Speaker:

as always there's different sources on the internet

Speaker:

I found a 501 million per kid

Speaker:

so I found a very recent one

Speaker:

where there's a bunch of different ones

Speaker:

that you're within the range of what they mentioned

Speaker:

the most recent article that just came out

Speaker:

a couple months ago from CBS News

Speaker:

says that raising a child from birth

Speaker:

age 18 now cost an average of two hundred

Speaker:

thirty seven thousand dollars

Speaker:

right around two hundred and forty thousand dollars

Speaker:

and guess what that's before college

Speaker:

yeah

Speaker:

I was gonna say you're putting in college was a lot

Speaker:

yeah because I don't

Speaker:

I think a lot of parents not even college

Speaker:

but they still help their kids when they're 18

Speaker:

they don't really just like

Speaker:

of course they do you know

Speaker:

for and forever yes

Speaker:

like I know

Speaker:

like my parents are wonderful

Speaker:

and still help me out with stuff

Speaker:

or like yeah

Speaker:

grandparents showering yeah

Speaker:

not just their kids but their grandkids

Speaker:

what about that trickle down effect

Speaker:

oh I brought money for my kids

Speaker:

I brought my mom to buy these cameras grandkids

Speaker:

so take that math and do it right

Speaker:

yeah cause now you're retired

Speaker:

you don't have like income coming in

Speaker:

and you're also buying stuff for your grandkids

Speaker:

so it's an expensive thing

Speaker:

so like obviously prevention is key and

Speaker:

and birth control is way cheaper than that

Speaker:

if you don't want a child

Speaker:

children are worth it but if you don't want one yeah

Speaker:

it's way cheaper the problem is access

Speaker:

if you can't get access and you run out of that window

Speaker:

and then you do get pregnant

Speaker:

access to Plan B yeah

Speaker:

what's our my easiest keg at Walgreens

Speaker:

oh okay

Speaker:

not available at pharmacies

Speaker:

really quick just on the money kit thing

Speaker:

my I have a friend without children

Speaker:

he loves to talk about a hardest to have kids

Speaker:

it's fun to be with other parents where you can go

Speaker:

having your little kid like

Speaker:

snuggle with you

Speaker:

or turn to you and say a magical thing

Speaker:

you don't give a fuck about $240,000

Speaker:

and I have this theory that

Speaker:

there's no way to explain to someone

Speaker:

without kids that value impossible

Speaker:

it would be like if you never saw the color blue

Speaker:

you wouldn't miss it but if I saw the color blue

Speaker:

be like where's blue go yeah

Speaker:

cause I think it cause I think it uh

Speaker:

I don't think we can quantify well

Speaker:

I think teach their own I mean

Speaker:

there's some people who really shouldn't have kids

Speaker:

and they're so happy and they

Speaker:

they fucking crush it uh huh

Speaker:

without kids and good for them

Speaker:

yeah and there's people who have kids

Speaker:

that shouldn't have kids absolutely

Speaker:

and there's people who have kids

Speaker:

who should have more kids

Speaker:

cause they're fucking awesome at it

Speaker:

I think the biggest thing is just like

Speaker:

do your own thing

Speaker:

but it's certainly nice to plan and not have surprises

Speaker:

absolutely kids are

Speaker:

I would have tons of kids if it was

Speaker:

if it was a not expensive

Speaker:

you know I wouldn't

Speaker:

so we should

Speaker:

I didn't mean well okay

Speaker:

I think that you have to um

Speaker:

have a balance yeah

Speaker:

like the people on TV who are like 18 kids and like

Speaker:

their oldest kid is like raising the youngest kid

Speaker:

cause they're an adult now

Speaker:

and like their kid is friends with their sibling

Speaker:

who's also two and whatever again

Speaker:

I don't wanna get like heat for this

Speaker:

like every family can do their own thing

Speaker:

but for me I love giving my kids attention

Speaker:

and I feel like I start to get like

Speaker:

split when I have like one thing here

Speaker:

one thing there so if I had like 50 kids

Speaker:

I'd be like ah

Speaker:

what the fuck that's a great point

Speaker:

too many kids also

Speaker:

when I said that I didn't

Speaker:

first of all

Speaker:

I don't think I meant it and I think I might have lied

Speaker:

I was just thinking when I was having children

Speaker:

at the time when we're having children

Speaker:

it would I think it would have been cool

Speaker:
