Bill cunning into Great America in about an hour. We have Ali Bradley of
News Nation live from the southern border. She's an eagle pass. Of course,
both presidents are going to visit to allegedly tomorrow, and we'll see what
comes of that. But once again, Liz Bonus is the health reporter for
Channel twelve. Twelve stands for News and Liz Bonus, welcome again to the
Bill Cunningham shown and Liz. How are you? Oh, Willie? I
am great. If you ever want to wonder or want to find out how
many people listen to you, just do a story on penal fractures with Willie.
Please explain that to me. We got to talk about homegrown testicles.
But before we get to that, about a week or two ago, I
saw this story that I called you. When I think about broken penises,
I think of Liz Bonus. So I called you and you said you're on
this story. And that's somehow in Valentine's Day it caused a lot of unnecessary
injury because of aggressive females. But I've seen this story about homegrown testicles grow
in a pair. Please explain. Yes, this is actually very interesting.
I'm working on finding out just you know how this is done, and we'll
be sharing this on Local twelve as well. But a pair of tiny artificial
testicles have actually been created now in a lab and scientists are hoping that it'll
provide solutions to some of the infertility challenges that we have now with guys.
And they want to understand more about testicular development and function. I like that,
let's study it. I mean, tell me about testicular function. Explain,
explain the process. So somebody, you know, my coach has always
told me, why don't you grow a pair? And I didn't think it
would actually happen again, But if someone has had cancer of the testicles,
this is very important. Or if men aren't performing well because something is lacking,
you can grow your own test excuse me, testicles. Get into the
story. Tell me how it's done, all right. So this is actually
legitimate study in the International Journal of Biological Sciences, and researchers were looking to
find out like for example, as you say, when you have cancer or
something, there can be a drop in the fertility or the availability, and
so we need to learn more about the little swimmers. And so they said,
okay, if we could do this then there's these things that are tiny
artificial organs called organoids, and they resemble the tubular structure, as they say,
of a natural testicle, and so they're tiny. They are grown in
masses of cells and they resemble the natural organs. You could find out sort
of how the swimmers swim and how we might be able to boost this up.
How cool is that swimmers that do the backstroke, the breaststroke, they
can do all kinds of strokes. I'm reading this story. It begins by
saying this is pretty nuts. Researchers at Israel's Bar Alawn University have grown laboratory
testicles that hope would they eventually ease male infertility, which effects about fifteen percent
of males. This goes on to say that they produce cells extracted from mouse
testes. So begin I guess these things are quite small. Explain that they
started with new No, no, no, no, they wouldn't all be
small, you know, it would depends on the mouth. They actually cultured
immature testicular cells from newborn mice. That's how they found them, That's how
they grew them. And the cells are then grown in the lab for nine
weeks and theoretically that's long enough to complete the process of sperm production and what
they call hormone secretion, and those things would be needed for fertility. So
if we could, yeah, take the mouse size and you know, make
the next step, which would logically be doing something related to humans, this
has a lot of potential. They have to mature, they'd have to be
grown in tubes. But you know, now we can grow like ears and
things like that that people need when they need something replaced. So why couldn't
you help, you know, replace some swimmers or whatever was needed. Assuming
you get fascinated, I like to study it more. But I assuming you're
not a person that said testicular cancer, why would a thirty five forty forty
five year old male want to put some mouse testicles in his scrotum. Well,
you wouldn't necessarily take the mouse festivals and put them in yours. This
is a model of how you would grow them, and then you would eventually
use what you hope will be human cells for growing. Would you say,
grow a pair? My coaches always say coach Jerry Wood said, grow a
pair. I'm thinking, okay, I didn't think I'd actually do it.
So this isn't a joke. I see this story. This is a real
thing, right, this is like legitimate Yeah, yeah, no, it
really is. It's in a legitimate journal. They say that eighty five percent
you know, of young cancer patients will survive to adulthood, which is really
good with testicular cancer. So they've been looking at choices and things like this
and perhaps a way to get these to grow and then be able to transplant
them or have human fertility enhanced by them. One will have come to a
doctor near you. Is it like a year or two away? Is it
happening now? Is it five years? Tony Bender wants to know because he
wants to plan for the future. So how long will it take before he
can grow a pair? Did you just say that, like your program director
needs to grow a pair? You should not be saying that. Ooh for
Tony, that man like pays your salary and stuff. Will he remember that?
Yeah? No. Usually when something's in a lab experiment, like say
you're taking a drug to development, it'll take twelve years to get it to
where it So, yeah, our guess is that when you're starting with labs
and mice, it's going to be it's gonna be a little while well,
could you use other animals instead of a mouse testicles? I'm thinking maybe of
like rhino testicles or something a little bit. Will it make you, let
me make you have less? You'd have like less? Fear that they be
tiny? Yes, it is. I can't imagure the size of a mouse
testicle like a grain of sand. I don't know how big these things are.
I had to check them out. Well, you know, I don't
know that I have checked them out either, But I will tell you that
one of the reasons they tend to use certain animal models is that they mimic
what will happen in humans. So I don't know that rhinos have the same
flow process that might do. I never actually experimented with that. I have
done some really interesting stories with the Cincinnati Zoo where when they want to have
like, you know, like fertility enhanced in an animal, such as why
they were an elephant, they have like they have to put things in that
are our suppository size. Only a rhinos suppository size is like the size of
a coffee bug. Yeah, a coffee bug like a whale barrow in front
of me. You've got to be big. Yeah, let's move, let's
move on the researchers led by doctor Nitson. Going On is a good name
for him. Going On are aiming to develop human like testicles and human cells
to help treat developmental sex disorders and infertility. And so who knows where this
leads. Maybe in seven or eight years, I have you back on and
talk about successful transplants in the Tony Bender's private parts and we'll see what happens.
Uh, What what came of the big story you had a couple of
weeks ago about about these penises that gotten broke on Valentine's Day? Is that?
Uh? Is that development? What's the latest on that? This is
actually fascinating. People taught me on the street. And you know, when
I'm with friends, they're like, were you talking about broken in like just
a few weeks ago? And my friends are just looking at me like,
WHOA, I found out how many people really listened to Willie. But what
I've learned since then, and yes, it actually was true for those of
you that missed that wonderful segment. You actually can have a penal fracture from
place eroticism and it does go up around holidays. This is Valentine's base,
That's we're talking about it. You need to get it repaired immediately if there's
been like a break in the structure. But but, but, but this
is really cool. Since then I'm working on a story and I just went
this morning to may Feel Brain that's fine, and they have an incredible physical
therapy team there. And did you know that you can help a guy with
like the pelvic floor just like you can have like you can help a woman,
and you can help them with a rectile dysfunction this way. You know,
the public floor is a forgotten core. You've heard that, and so
yeah, so your your pelvis, that really important thing that's between like your
waist and your knees. One of the things we've known is for women,
like after childbirth and things like that, you can do exercise to tighten it
up. Well, today I was over there and they've got a whole new
area of pelvic floor physical therapy now for both men and women, and for
guys who may need, you know, bladder help or help with the rectileless
function. They can teach you how to sort of strengthen the pelvist, tighten
the muscles, relax the muscles. If that's part of the problem, and
many people are helped by this, so I was like, we need to
share this, this is really important that I'm oh, no, you just
can't wait. I can't wait. So pelvic pelvic situations, you know,
I think, if it's broken, how do you do like a splint,
you put it in a cast or how do you correct that? Now,
if it's broken, you actually have to have the doctors go in and what
they say that the anatomy itself doesn't break. The little linings in their break
and you have to have those repaired. But once that's done, if you're
still having trouble with you know, the romance in your life, ask a
physical therapist about men's health and being able to strengthen the pelvic floor. It's
a thing. Well, I'm learning more every day. And I saw this
one commercial on TV might have been on Channel twelve List Bonus, and this
guy had like a carot like condition and the thing was going like a riety
or a lefty Is that similar to a broken penis? It was like the
thing was going to the right. Is that the pons disease? That's right
there. I thought it was like a foot thing, Paroni's disease, Tony
Bender, talk to me about that one day, But what is the disease?
Poor Tony? He must people must see him and think that he has
like every health challenge you can have, because you throw him under the buck.
He does. So they did. They did tell me when you when
you have when you have the penal fractures, that you can have almost like
a Peron's like, if you don't get it fixed, it will end up
looking like that, which means it's cricket or in the wrong direction, or
looks like an egg plant. So yeah, that's an actual thing that looks
bad. And more importantly, well, could interfere with fertility or could interfere
with your ability to just have the thing we all like to have with our
significant other. And that would be terrible, wouldn't it. That'd be awful.
I'm thinking, you know, I think a hot woman can cure a
lot of ED. But that's kind of a different issue. You have a
story up about women may see more benefits from regular exercise than men, according
to the National Institute of Health. The study found that only does regular exercise
lower the risk of early death or fatal heart events more for women than men,
but women rates maximum health benefits levels from exercise quicker than men. How
come? Yes, yes, okay, So the reason I wanted to share
this is number one, it proves that women aren't equal to men, they're
superior. Yet again, no question, you know, just to throw that
in there, no question. This is actually fascinating research because usually you think
of exercise benefiting a bigger body more, and that's usually a guy. So
if you take usually a three hundred pound person and put them on a treadmill,
and you take a one hundred pound person, the three hundred pound person
burns more calories. But they went beyond the calories. National Instist of Health
said how much exercise does a guy need to live longer and live well?
And how much does a woman need? And do you know that for every
two and a half hours that a woman gets for exercise, and it didn't
matter whether it was aerobic or weight, a guy has to do five hours
to get the same benefits for the heart and the rest of the body.
How do you like that? Why is it because less muscle mass, less
bone structure, or less lung capacity? What is it? Well they're not
exactly sure, but they do think it's because you simply have larger organs.
So in other words, like you said, the heart, the lungs are
bigger, and so you would need to sort of put more exertion through them
to get the same benefit. So to keep your lungs healthy, to keep
your heart healthy, you'd have to get more air, more pressure. So
whether you're lifting weights or running, that's the thought behind it. But it's
really fascinating. It's a huge separation in difference when you look at workout standards.
They found when they look at four hundred thousand people men and women,
that women have a twenty four production twenty four percent reduction in mortality risk with
less physical activity. Guys from the same amount would only get about fifteen percent.
So in others, we gonna live ten percent longer doing two and a
half hours, and if you only you two and a half hours, you're
only going to get fifteen percent of the benefit. So you've got to do
double that to catch up. Liz Bonus, would you rather be a woman
or a man? Oh my goodness, I still love being a girl.
I'm a total girly girl. I agree, yeah, And I you know,
I grew up with four boys, so I do admit that when I
was younger, I thought it would be really cool to be a boy,
but it just now now I'm like, like the girly thing, no question.
And lastly, it says here that the researchers say that women were found
to meet an eighteen percent reduced risk and early death or fatal heart disease.
And this goes on to say that women need exercise two point five hours per
week and that can include walking. One of the best things I do is
simply walk. And then I left a few at night. I'm up to
lifting like twelve pounds out of each hand, and so I'm thinking, right
I'm thinking, right now, is the best exercise you do? You spend
your life on this if you have time. Everybody can walk and they can
have a pedometer or whatever. Is walking the best exercise? You know?
I believe that it is. But the best exercise is the one that you
will actually do. So if walking is in your thing. Because I have
a treadmill and I just had to have the motor replace cause it at twenty
three thousand miles on it, I'm really into that. And yeah, they
told me they weren't going to warranty it anymore if I didn't replace a bunch
of stuff. So the cool thing about walking is you can walk thirty minutes
one way and you got to walk thirty minutes back. But keep in mind,
for every two and a half hours a lady does, you, guys
got to do five hours to get the same benefit. So you better get
move it. You might want to start now. I better start right now.
And Liz Bonus, I'm riading this. Men were found to meet the
same level as a woman after double the work. So a man's got to
do five hours a week of actually size a woman only two point five.
And I think that's not fair. That's not fair. I'm telling you it's
not fair. Isn't it just the beauty of life that for once a guy
would actually have to work harder than a woman to achieve the same results.
We can talk about it, I think women. I think we men have
had our time. Our day's over. I mean, we're done. Christian
white married men are done. We're at the back of the list. I
think men need affirmative action. What do you think, well, I believe
that all things should be equal for all people. In other words, pay
and promotions and all the rest of that. I think we're never done.
I just think that we all are realizing now that again we're all individuals and
what we bring to the table might be something different. And you know,
we need to look at skill, we need to look at being able to
do the job or whatever you're talking about. But in this case, when
you were looking at exercise, it's really true, man, women are way
ahead of guys. You know, men are more likely to be drug addicts,
men are more likely to be in pray, and men are more likely
to kill themselves. Men are more likely to have health problems. I'm surprised
I can even grow a pair. I mean, it's unbelievable the problems that
men have compared to women. But society tells us that women only make seventy
percent of men, which is a bunch of bs. But men have had
it. We're dying earlier, we're getting drunk, we're using drugs, committing
crime. We're all a bunch of derelicts. So why do you think that
is? Really because not enough men have grown a pair, and because I
think I don't know what to say, but all the statistics and women are
more likely to graduate from college, Women are more likely to graduate from high
school, women more likely to be lawyers everywhere. I look, you know,
women look in Cincinnati right now. Chief of police is a woman,
the sheriff is a woman. The three county commissioners or women. The Chief
Justice of the High Supreme Court is a woman. For women on the US
Supreme Court. I think men need affirmative action. Well, you could get
on that campaign and see how it does. It will not do well.
All right, We've covered much territory. We've covered growing a pair, broken
penises, Peroni's disease, and women living longer and men have had it.
Liz Bonus, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
But if you're with a hot woman, that'll cure ed, do you
agree? No, you know, I don't want to put like the guys
down thing. It actually has nothing to do with the hotness, really don't.
Yeah, it really does. I don't know now, because if it's
a real thing, if it's a real thing, you need to get it
medically treated properly. That public floor thing, wily, I want you to
try that. I got to grow a pair first of all. But Liz
Bonus, once again, very educational, very adult conversations, and thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show and work on your pelvic structures and your
pelvic pelvic floor. That's the key, pelvic floor. And Willie, the
pleasure is all mine. I love it when a woman says that. Liz
Bonus, thank you very much. Let's continue. Bill Cunningham seven hundred WLW,
