“Yeah, well, the other thing about like mouthwash, I hear that mouthwash is actually not good for you. I was reading this thing, God, it was quite a while ago. They were talking about athletics.”

“diminished by mouthwash. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. See if you can find that. Which makes sense, right? Your gut bacteria and all the fucking, like, like, for instance, if you take antibiotics.”

“Are you allowed to do that? I don't know. We'll find out. Antibacterial mouthwash is plausibly linked to exercise physiology, but has not been proven to meaningfully worsen race time, strength, or overall athletic performance in healthy people. The main concern is that it can suppress oral bacteria involved in producing nitric oxide, a molecule important for blood vessel dilation”

“But you know, people are always looking for every possible edge. So if it turns out that like you use some mouthwash and it'll just take a little bit out of your endurance and a little bit out of your like race time or a little bit out of your ability to go into the third, fourth, and fifth round.”

“You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but you can brush your teeth. You don't just don't use mouthwash. Oh, yeah. There's nothing wrong with brushing your teeth. Right, right. That's not going to kill all of the bad breath germs. No, but there's a lot of people that also believe that one of the reasons why people get so many skin infections”

“And then Joseph Lister, is that from Listerine? Probably. Acting on Pasteur's research, pioneered antiseptic surgical methods with great success. Click on Joseph Lister. Is he responsible for Listerine?”

“Who invented Listerine? Why don't you just Google that? Well, because I would imagine I didn't know I was walking into one of the longest Wikipedias I've ever seen. I thought it was just going to be like. Look at all this shit on Joseph Lister.”

“Listerine. Listerine is named after Joseph Lister. That's it. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, of course. Because people probably, at the time, back then, when Listerine was invented, you know.”

“Yeah. Yeah. I mean, not, I mean, all the states get high, but the border states, especially, that's where the drugs are coming in. Listen, you could just go to the doctor and say, I can't concentrate, and they'll give you Adderall. Yeah. It's so easy to get Adderall. They'll put you on some powerful shit. They'll put you on speed.”

“And that's the problem. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, but that's every industry. But it doesn't mean Adderall is not awesome. I bet it's great. I feel like the world is just a series of scams. It's like whatever scam are you in on?”

“Thanks, Perplexity. Thank you, Perplexity. So you take Viagra. And then beetroot. Beets are really good for converting to nitric oxide in your body. Why? I don't know. There's something about beets in general. Well, it says right here:”

“I know a lot of dudes that will drink beetroot shots before they work out. Really? Yeah. Yeah, that beetroot apparently gives you a little bit of extra juice.”

“If you take antibiotics, have you ever had to take antibiotics? If you take antibiotics and try to work out, holy shit, bro, you feel so tired. You feel so exhausted. Are there, are there fighters that stink on purpose, like as part of their strategy?”

“He's a scary dude. He's a scary dude, man. I mean, this is the same dude during the AIDS crisis that was giving people AZT, which killed people quicker than cancer when they were using it as a chemotherapy drug. They stopped using it as a chemotherapy drug because it was killing people quicker than the cancer was.”

“I know a lot of dudes that will drink beetroot shots before they work out. Really? Yeah. Yeah, that beetroot apparently gives you a little bit of extra juice.”

“holy ground. And then, depending on which reading of the Bible or translation you're finding, he either finds the tablets or they're, like, presented to him or something. He then takes the tablets down off of the mountain, sees the people worshiping.”

“Not me. I'm pretty much always right. I'm pretty much always on the hot takes. Did you take the COVID vaccine? Yeah, a few times. I don't know. Shut the fuck up. Oh, you think we, you still don't believe in vaccines? Not that one. Oh, not that one, huh? That one didn't do a goddamn thing. That one didn't do a goddamn thing.”

“She's explaining the master and slave morality to opposing value systems introduced by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in his 1887 book on the genealogy of morality. Master morality is an active, self-affirming value system created.”

“Uh-huh. But OxyContin's about as strong as it gets. I mean, it's an opiate. It's pretty fucking strong. Other than fentanyl. Fentanyl's about the strongest shit you can get. Yeah, but I'm talking about they got shit that they give you, like these football players and shit, they got shit that they give you that make you not feel anything.”

“No one's chasing after him for anything other than the most recent thing. But the more you dig into this guy, and if you read The Real Anthony Fauci by RFK Jr., that book is fucking horrible. Well, if they start locking people up for what they did to foster children, there's going to be a lot of motherfuckers going to prison.”

“Makes sense. Well, Ari was Orthodox Jewish, like heavily, like studying the Torah 12 hours a day, like the whole deal. Lived in Israel in a kibbutz. Like he did the whole deal.”

“and oxygen delivery. Okay, there it is. Thanks, Perplexity. Thank you, Perplexity. So you take Viagra. And then beetroot. Beets are really good for converting to nitric oxide in your body. Why? I don't know. There's something about beets in general.”
