00:00Can you bring food through a...
00:03gate?
00:06I'm serious.
00:07Yeah, I think as long as it's not liquid-y.
00:10Like if I get a salad, I can bring it through.
00:12You could, you might...
00:13You'd be fine with the dressing as long as the dressing is less than 3.5 ounces or whatever.
00:18No promises there.
00:19Here we are!
00:20I missed you.
00:21Missed you, pal.
00:22Sorry to say that.
00:23We had a lot of things going on.
00:24We're all over the fucking planet.
00:26Well, you look...
00:30Fine?
00:31You look like you just got out of the hospital.
00:33Those are women's pants.
00:35Those look terrible.
00:37Come on, man.
00:38They're terrible.
00:39I just got them like two days ago.
00:41Yeah, I think I would say I look fine.
00:44No?
00:45Let's put it this way.
00:46You don't look better.
00:47And I haven't seen you in a while, and you've been trying.
00:50I have.
00:51You said you weren't going to drink as much.
00:53I didn't, and then I did.
00:56I see you attached to so many different drinking contests.
01:00It's a year of beers.
01:01Is that it?
01:02Yeah, it's a year of beers.
01:03Those pants, that's where it is lucky that you have such a small penis.
01:08Because if you stood up, those aren't going to really...
01:12Yeah, there you go.
01:14And now I know.
01:15Don't you ever...
01:17You can't include that.
01:18I can't.
01:19It's too demoralizing to you.
01:21You think I care at this point?
01:23No.
01:24But, you know, people could think that...
01:26Yeah, my family's going to see it, and then I'm going to be embarrassed for 30 minutes,
01:29and then I'm going to move on with my life.
01:31I think people could assume that when you make jokes about how your penis hangs on the
01:36shelf of your testicles, that you're joking for the sake of humor.
01:41But when we see the outline of it, we know there's nothing funny about it.
01:47It's pure truth.
01:48It's a joke.
01:49It's a joke.
01:50Totally.
01:52Well, there is a science behind blacking out, and that's what I'm going to teach you today.
01:56We're going to talk about what a blackout is, why it happens, and what it does to you.
02:02I don't want to know this stuff.
02:04You have to.
02:05Alright.
02:06Here's your brain.
02:07I think the hippocampus is this small sliver that's down here.
02:13The HC.
02:14You know what the hippocampus does?
02:16Oh, I know.
02:17It stores memories.
02:18That's exactly right.
02:19I do remember that somehow.
02:21I remember you.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Didn't expect that from you.
02:24Yep.
02:25Let's define a blackout.
02:26A blackout is a gap in your memory that occurs while you're intoxicated because your brain
02:32is not able to transfer memories from short-term memory to long-term memory.
02:37Okay.
02:38Let's say, you know, you funneled a beer.
02:41And then five minutes later, someone said, Dana, did you just funnel a beer?
02:45And you said, yeah, yeah.
02:47Five minutes ago.
02:48Yeah, yeah.
02:50I've done that in my butt.
02:51Oh, you're doing that.
02:52I've done that before.
02:53Have you?
02:54Yeah.
02:55Butt funnels with the boys.
02:56I'm sad to hear that.
02:57I just wanted to make the boys laugh.
02:58Actually, it's a fun story.
02:59No.
03:00I did it freshman year.
03:01You don't want me to tell it?
03:02I'm not sure that's one we need.
03:03No, it's fun.
03:04Fine.
03:05Freshman year, did it.
03:06Four years later, graduation day.
03:07Everyone's like, you gotta do it one last time, Dana.
03:10Ended on a nice butt funnel.
03:12Did you feel drunk from it?
03:14No.
03:15I felt full.
03:17That's so much liquid in your rectum.
03:25You gotta make the guys laugh.
03:27I told you not to do that one.
03:29I told you not to tell that story.
03:30It's a good one.
03:31If you say the word funnel, it triggers something in my brain.
03:35Someone asked you five minutes after you butt funneled that beer.
03:38Yeah.
03:39Someone said, hey, Dana, I missed it.
03:41I heard you funnel the beer.
03:42How did it taste?
03:44And you'd say, I don't know, because it went up my butt.
03:47That's what you'd say.
03:48But I would remember it in the short term.
03:50However, the next morning, someone might say, Dana, remember funneling that beer in your butt?
03:58And you'd say, get out of town.
04:00I don't do things like that.
04:02That's not me.
04:03There's no chance.
04:04You got the wrong guy.
04:06That's a blackout.
04:08You might have created a gap in your brain where you store your memories.
04:14Because you had the short term memory of it, but it did not transfer to the long term memory.
04:18Yep.
04:19Why?
04:20Alcohol interferes with receptors in the brain that carry signals between neurons.
04:25Ions, protons.
04:27And this causes some brain cells to trigger a steroid.
04:32It creates a steroid that stops memory formation.
04:35I'm on roids?
04:36That steroid's not good.
04:37When I'm getting mangled, I'm fucking on roids?
04:40It's a natural chemical reaction.
04:42I think it's the brain protecting itself.
04:44Okay.
04:45But it's doing that in a way that it shouldn't have to.
04:48Everyone does it.
04:50It seems like binge drinking is pretty bad for you.
04:53Everyone blacks out?
04:54Eh.
04:55I don't black out.
04:56I've never blacked out.
04:57By the way, I have drunk to the point of probably needing to be hospitalized.
05:02Stomach pump?
05:03I throw up.
05:04That's my reaction.
05:05You're definitely healthier than me.
05:07Uh, in that sense.
05:09Maybe I just, when I was throwing up, instead of throwing up, I should have grabbed it all
05:14and put it in a funnel and chugged it up my butt.
05:17You should try it sometime.
05:18Re-inject.
05:19Not the butt funnel.
05:20You should try the blackout sometime.
05:21Well, that's my point.
05:22I can't.
05:23You can't.
05:24My stomach can't handle it.
05:25You hang out with Beardsy for a night.
05:26On my 21st birthday, I had 21 tequila shots.
05:28I did a cake full of nips.
05:31Yeah.
05:32I didn't have it on a cake.
05:35You should black out one of these days.
05:36I don't want to do it.
05:37At my wedding, you'll black out.
05:39I'm scared.
05:40Nah, as long as you're in a safe space with your homies and there's a toilet near you,
05:46you're good.
05:47You do weird shit when you're blacked out.
05:49No, I don't.
05:50I'm fucking laughing.
05:51You're one of our new friends.
05:53You know what you have to do?
05:54Chug this beer up your butt.
05:56I just eat.
05:57I eat Domino's and I fucking drink more.
06:00That's all I do.
06:02When a person is blacked out, the brain continues to process information, but it does not store
06:07memories as a result of that chemical reaction.
06:09Okay.
06:10You know what's the good zone?
06:11Brown out.
06:12There's two different types of blackouts.
06:14Temporary blackout.
06:15Those are, that's my shit.
06:17And then there is a blackout that's called the blackout on block.
06:21E-N-B-L-O-C.
06:23I don't on block.
06:24I don't on block.
06:25That's where you don't remember anything.
06:27No, no, no.
06:28I don't on block.
06:29We want to avoid that, okay?
06:32Because that's really bad.
06:33We brown out.
06:34We do?
06:35We un-brown.
06:39A partial blackout is actually called a fragmentary blackout.
06:42That's the brown out.
06:43I'm going to start saying that with my boys.
06:45We're getting fraggy tonight.
06:46Oh, I like that.
06:48Blackouts tend to happen not necessarily as a result of how much you drink, but how quickly you drink.
06:53Heavy, persistent drinking to the point of lacking out can cause degenerative effects to the brain.
06:59I'm aware and I'm scared.
07:00Yeah.
07:01It just basically is going to make you dumber, make it harder for you to retain memories.
07:05Yeah, I think I have a good memory, but I'm definitely dumb.
07:09But I don't think that's due to booze.
07:11I think that's just me.
07:13I think that if you continue to drink to the point of lacking out consistently,
07:18you're going to start losing the ability to name every single NBA player.
07:22That's not true.
07:24I'm going to do it right now.
07:25Maybe not this season.
07:26Maybe not next season.
07:28But there will come a time where you'll say,
07:31Gosh, the second point guard for the Atlanta Hawks.
07:37I knew it before I stuck the fucking hose in my rectum.
07:43Which shouldn't fit, really, if we're honest.
07:46If you get a good one.
07:48You sucked it in.
07:49You sucked the beer in.
07:51That's how you did it?
07:52I mean, I can show you.
07:53Nope.
07:54Alright.
07:55Don't show me.
07:56Eat right here.
07:57What's that?
07:58And you just...
08:02Clench.
08:03It's like a...
08:04What is that?
08:05Yoga pose?
08:06Ab workout.
08:07Is that cow?
08:08Cow pose?
08:09Good luck.
08:10Appreciate it, Franny.
