To be honest. I have no idea who Henry Rollins is or why this comment is so funny, but I can literally feel how much you made an impact on the people who do know the reference. I know the exact feeling of a truly underrated comment. For that reason alone, I think this comment is hilarious.
Something you dont hear from Laird about much in all his other interviews is how banged up he is from putting his body through the ringer. He has a very high pain tolerance and that has probably propelled him past alot of others who gave up when Laird just kept plowing forward, broken bones, brain, whatever. He goes.
Hamilton is the sort of guy that says things like "75% of the bones in your body are below your ankles" 8:00 and nobody has the guts to call bullshit because of the wild stuff he does. Basically he is saying we are jellyfish above our ankles.
@@jamesthomas6984Maybe, but does it REQUIRE hyperbole? Also, what's more dense than going out of your way to defend something you know is objectively false?
@@RandyNgelale im defending open speech where you can be false. Why does hyperbole exist if it's not required? Hell, why does anything exist if it's not required. Read a book, and learn about human fallacy for once.
I'm an X-ray tech. 75% of your bones are not below your ankles. You have 206 bones in your body and 26 in each foot (27 in each hand) which would be below the ankle that's 52 total in your feet. I think he just got it backwards. 75% of your bones are above your ankles but 25% of ALL your bones are below your ankles. And half of all your bones are in your hands and feet. I never crunched the numbers like that so I just learned something from this Legend. This guy is an absolute Legend and a true Beast 🔥💯🤟
4:40 - 5:15 Um, no. He actually made some good comments about the polyethylene for the hip prosthesis, but the anesthesia commentary was off the deep end.
I had shoulder surgey and they put me out. My only issue was when they took the oxygen away I felt like garbage. Other than that it was all good the next day
Now that I think about it, I was woozy for a few weeks after I had surgery on my nose. My throat was so raw from the breathing tube. UGH I hated the recovery
Seems a few of you have never seen what Laird does, type in "Laird at Teahopu" .....NONE of your top athletes in ANY sport would even get out of the boat!!!
He’s right about anesthesia. Dad is an anesthesiologist and there is a reason they get paid shit tons. One wrong math calculation and the patient is in a coma. Forget to carry the 2 and he’s dead
benjamin rallo nobody here thinks illiteracy is cool they just see you are petty as hell, and now it’s obvious you’re probably insecure about your own intellect 😂😂 go hate the world some more because you know the difference between to and too. You legend
benjamin rallo brother you’re soooo worked up it’s making me laugh 😂😂😂 how ignorant can you be to get this upset over a guy using the wrong form of to? Also insults don’t make you look smarter lmao I’m happy this is public so people can see how stupid you look 😂😂 you probably have high blood pressure over this
i love the part when this guy says 75% of the bones in your body are below your ankles. Joe rogan clearly doesnt believe him but is just going with it to keep the convo flowing. Update the correct number is 25%
He is 100% correct about anesthesia!!! It is super scary for elderly patients. I see patients who are spry and healthy (over 70 years old) go have a simple surgery with anesthesia and they can come back with dementia symptoms, short term memory loss issues, hearing issues all kinds of stuff!
So older patients I like desflurane being it has a fast onset/offset & low potency. But we have several tricks to completely maneuver around all of the symptoms. Anesthesia got a bad reputation because we used: Halothane gas and induction: thiopental/etomidate/brevital. (Halothane was before my time) Halothane was dangerous and caused most of the deaths coupled with Thiopental (long half-life) --- today we use; Pre op: versed 3-5mg Induction: propofol 2-3mg/kg Paralyzing agents: Rocuronium/ vec / atri or sux Inhalent general anesthesia: Isoflurane/ Sevoflurane/ desflurane/enflurane Reversal agents: neostigmine+glyco / atropine/
He is saying to get it out of your organs. In which case he is probably right but he assumes that it's killing him or poisoning his body at this point? No probably not and I think he is definitely over reacting in this case.
For anyone to use any blanket term is wack, 'anaesthetics' can cover such a massive range of substances that to make any generalisation is blurry at best. The surgeries I've undergone have mostly fukd me fairly hard for 1-3 days with lingering effects (balance,sometimes depth perception for example)for 6-10 days. Although one of them I was not great for maybe less than 24hrs but full compos mentis on day 3.
I’m an anesthetist and what he says about anesthesia is ridiculous...but an epidural or spinal for a hip replacement is fine vs inhalation general anesthesia. Just for the record general inhalation anesthesia now days is very short acting, breaks down and metabolized out of your system extremely quick. If you use a lot of narcotic pain medication post surgical intervention that can stick around depending on how often and what type of opioids your using. Laird is an amazing guy but a little off in his mind....total respect the dude though...🤙🏼
I agree a little. He puts it in the back of his brain and chews on it. He thinks the first few moon landings were faked, but we eventually we went there. Bit he wont admit it.
Generally anesthesia only stays in your system for about a week and you likely won't feel the side effects beyond 24 hours. Would be great if some of these people got fact checked on insane things like this. The second he said you have to do a detox to get rid of it, lmao.
I have banged myself up skydiving, kayaking, and rock climbing - twisted myself up in a car wreck - and then finally broke some bones and crushed a vertebrae just slipping on some ice walking down the street. All the extreme sports left me in a lot of pain, and now I'm finally recovering and getting healthy again as I turn 50. If I had any idea I was going to live this long I would have seriously held myself back when I was young.
I was 20 years younger than the average hip replacement surgery patient: I ruined my hip by curling my leg under my butt and sitting on it in my desk chair for 30 years. Supposedly lasts for 20 years. Before surgery I was dragging my leg behind me like Quazimoto, and after surgery I was good as new. Laird is right: I went insane with anxiety, lying in bed shaking my fists at the ceiling from the post-op anesthesia. It took like 4-5 days for all that sh*t to get out of my system.
It's interesting he says anesthesia lasts for a month and then compared it to how long a hangover lasts, which only lasts half a day.. Also, it's not in your system for months, your metabolism gets rid of it within days to a week. (You might feel woozy after that if it's strong, but it's not in your system anymore, you're just recovering from it.) In most cases, it doesn't attach to fat cells like cannabis can (which is why cannabis takes so long to flush), and instead flushes much like opiates, filtered out and gotten rid of in around 72 hours on average.
If Laird had been a mainland guy with no water around, I'm pretty convinced that dude would've been a bad ass Linebacker playing at least D1 ball. His frame and pain tolerance.....
Laird Hamilton is a typical example of a world class athlete. They start out as a gifted specimen of the human species, then after time and competitiveness and the rigors of their sport, they eventually wind up as physical wrecks. I've never broken anything, much less a record. I guess that's the one and only advantage of being a Charlie Brown....
Caleb Brandalise Hahah I just saw that again recently and noticed when he’s listin off names he actually says Swanson right before checking the case lol I love that damn movie.
I do grow tired of these fitness guys saying that you have to push yourself to the breaking point and that it's all in your head... Then show off a million dollars worth of medical procedures... Maybe I just want to lose a little weight.. not be crippled by 40..
It's actually less than 25%.... 206 bones in the human body and 52 of those bones are in the feet (26 bones per foot) 52×4=208 meaning less than 25% of the bones in ur body are in ur feet
Anesthesia does not stay in your system for a month. The half life of GA drugs are super short and passed almost completely within 80 hours with peak concentration gone within 23-25. Not sure this surfer guy’s anatomy and pharmacology are up to snuff but no doubt he’s an interesting dude about a lot of stuff
Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium and Sodium in the correct balance will support a stronger skeletal system. Sugar and vegetable oil is increasing pH acidity, which makes our body steal minerals from our bones. Slightly alkaline 7.35 pH is too important to our blood.
Mobility and basic human activity requires impact tolerance. If we avoid impact we quickly lose our ability to handle it because the fascia loses its elasticity. Joe, you should invite Tom Myers onto your podcast. Groundbreaking stuff.
