1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>It's time for our strange science. Strange. It's like weird science,

2
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 1>but strange.

3
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, this is there's a couple smelly stories for

4
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>good reason in our strange science today. I asked earlier,

5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.039
<v Speaker 2>what is your opinion? You a morning shower er a

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 2>nighttime shower er, because science says one is better than

7
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the other.

8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Hey, guys, Trucker Bill, great job. Anyways, I shower at

9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.799
<v Speaker 3>night to wash the dirt off, sleep real nice, and

10
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:39.719
<v Speaker 3>then shower in the morning so I can do my

11
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 3>hair all nice, plus watch the night sweats off and

12
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 3>in case I have a nightmare about your guys show. Anyways,

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 3>science is always wrong.

14
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Have a good day. Well, I haven't even told you

15
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>what the science says yet.

16
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 3>Hey garyto here, Hey, Yeah, I'm usually if I'm not working,

17
00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>I'll take a shower in.

18
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>The morning, right when I'll wake up ready for my day.

19
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 4>If I'm working on a working day, as soon as

20
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 4>I get home from work, I take a shower.

21
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>And I never take a shower at night.

22
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know why, but it's either morning or after work.

23
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, it's because you're uh, maybe a stink

24
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 1>after work?

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.480
<v Speaker 5>Hi, Gary and Shannon Scott Here in Topanga.

26
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Ny Scott night shower, always night shower.

27
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 5>That's when i'm dirty. I'm not dirty in the morning

28
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 5>unless I've been dirty all night. So why would you

29
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 5>take a shower in the morning. I work all day,

30
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm dirty, I take a shower, I get clean, I

31
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 5>get in bed, I get up in the morning, and

32
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 5>I go. Don't have to worry about taking a shower. Okay,

33
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 5>great question, Thanks guys, great show.

34
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Keep it up. I don't know if it's a great question.

35
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Gary, this is DM or beside. Hey, I'm primarily

36
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 4>a morning shower. Three reasons. One it wakes me up. Two,

37
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:54.400
<v Speaker 4>your bed is.

38
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Not as clean as you think it is.

39
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.280
<v Speaker 4>Ree, What if you end up having sexonvill the night

40
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 4>or before you get up in the morning for work.

41
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Are sure people have sex? I'm sure people. Somebody does.

42
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Gar Beer, So glad you asked a question here

43
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 5>about showering.

44
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Sure.

45
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.159
<v Speaker 2>I took a twist and a sudden stop showering about

46
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>five years ago.

47
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.159
<v Speaker 4>I just jump in my backyard pool.

48
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Have you soap in like ten years?

49
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>It's very liberating and very organic.

50
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Not to mention it cuts down on the cost of

51
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>soap and shampoo and stuff.

52
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Like that.

53
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>So if you take a shower in the morning, chances

54
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>are you're gonna say it helps you wake up and

55
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>start the day. But if you take a shower at night,

56
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>they'll tell you you wash away the day literally in

57
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 2>some cases, and helps you relax before you go to bed.

58
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 4>Well.

59
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 2>A microbiologist on science alert dot com says, there is

60
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 2>a clear answer to the question of which one is better.

61
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:53.599
<v Speaker 2>So the question is are you a morning shower er

62
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>or a nighttime shower er or are you somewhere in

63
00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>the middle.

64
00:02:57.520 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Gary.

65
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:02.800
<v Speaker 3>For those that are in perimenopause or menopause, showering at night.

66
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.240
<v Speaker 1>May not work because you sweat when you sleep.

67
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 5>So for those of us who get a little heated

68
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 5>when we sleep, showering in the morning totally worse.

69
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Gary, night shower always.

70
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I cannot stand dirty feet in the sheet.

71
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, kind of a trick question here, because you can

72
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>do either one. Showering at night showering in the morning.

73
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>They do say this microbiologist, and by the way, did

74
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 2>look at the specifics of what is going to be

75
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>more beneficial to you? Does have an answer, but that

76
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 2>there is another factor in all of this we need

77
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to keep in mind. So just first of all, showering

78
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 2>is an integral part of good hygiene period.

79
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>When you have it, it doesn't matter.

80
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Even the guy who doesn't shower finger quotes at least

81
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>dips himself in the pool every once in a while,

82
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.879
<v Speaker 2>which is probably great. Showering can remove sweat. Sweat is

83
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 2>not what smells, by the way, it's what eats your swet,

84
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>the bacteria that exists on your body that turns that

85
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 2>into bo So let's just get past that, okay. So

86
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 2>during the day, your body, your hair collects everything pollutants, allergens,

87
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 2>all that sort of stuff, sweat, subaceous oil. Some of

88
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.040
<v Speaker 2>these will be retained by your clothes, which is why

89
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>your clothes can take on an aroma of you or

90
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.959
<v Speaker 2>vice versa, inevitably transferred to your sheets and your pillowcases.

91
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Right this is where it's gonna start getting gross. So

92
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 2>the sweat and the oil from your skin will also

93
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 2>support the growth of the bacteria that compromise your skin microbiome.

94
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Those can be transferred from your body onto your sheets.

95
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 2>So showering at night would remove some of that, so

96
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 2>less if it ends up in your bed sheets. Here's

97
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 2>the problem. Whether you like it or not, depending on

98
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>what time of life you're in it happen more. You're

99
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna sweat and your bed at night, that's just whatever

100
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 2>it is. Your skin microbes then eat the nutrients in

101
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 2>that sweat. That means, by the way time you wake

102
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 2>up in the morning, you're gonna have again microbes on

103
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 2>your bed sheets and probably wake up a little bit

104
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 2>of snank to you because those microbes are eating the

105
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 2>sweat that you sweat, regardless of whether you're warm or not.

106
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>That would negate the cleaning benefits of a night shower.

107
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 2>If if you don't you wash your sheets regularly, that's

108
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>the key factor in all of it. If you don't

109
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 2>wash your sheets at all, morning showering is the best

110
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>because that gets rid of all that other stuff. If

111
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't wash your sheets regularly, if you watch your

112
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 2>sheets regularly, do whatever you want. Showering at night doesn't

113
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>stop your skin cells from shedding off into your sheets.

114
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 2>Of course, dust mites can come. The waste of the

115
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.160
<v Speaker 2>dust mites can be allergenic as well. That could lead

116
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.759
<v Speaker 2>to a build up of dead skin cell deposits in

117
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>your sheets. This is getting gross that can trigger allergies

118
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and exacerbate your asthma. Morning showers, however, they'll remove the

119
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.600
<v Speaker 2>dead skin cells well as any sweat or bacteria you

120
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 2>picked up from your bed sheets overnight, especially important if

121
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>your sheets weren't freshly washed when you went to bed.

122
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>So a morning shower suggests your body will be cleaner

123
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>of those skin microbes that you get. You'll start the

124
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 2>day with less sweat for the bacteria to eat on

125
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 2>and cause the bo So basically it sounds like the

126
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>morning shower would be the way to go if you're

127
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>not regular at cleaning your sheets.

128
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Your weirdo sick bastard all right.

129
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.079
<v Speaker 2>The other story is because it is a smelly story,

130
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>the spray of perfume maybe a little swipe of lotion

131
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>could mess with some of the highly reactive chemicals that

132
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 2>cloud your body, and that could lead to unknown health effects.

133
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 2>A chemical shield is known as the human oxidation field.

134
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Like a force field. Scientists think it reacts quickly with

135
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the molecules that surround us. It can neutralize some volatile compounds,

136
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.680
<v Speaker 2>but if you put perfume fume on that or lotion

137
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:06.199
<v Speaker 2>with perfume minute, it can transform the air chemistry in

138
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the immediate vicinity and that can potentially send some toxic

139
00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>chemical byproducts up our noses sinking into our skin.

140
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Not great.

141
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.319
<v Speaker 2>They're still studying a lot of the human oxidation field

142
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 2>and how it impacts our health. It was only discovered

143
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 2>a few years ago because a team of scientists found

144
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 2>that oil from the skin reacts with the ozone pollutants

145
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>in the air to form a field of actual hydroxyl radicals.

146
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.639
<v Speaker 1>Hydroxyl radicals around your body. There you go.
