And when it comes to sculpting A-list abs beyond the gym, Dr. Gabriel Chu of Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery is the artist of choice. He helps attain washboard goals in patient of all ages by way of abdominal etching – a minimally invasive procedure that promises a defined stomach in hours.

51:28 – Seth had lice once when he was a little kid at a baseball practice. His mom said she saw him take off the baseball helmet and start scratching his hair profusely. There was another kid on his team that had lice and gave it to him through shared helmets. Jonathan also had lice from going to a weird Scientology pre-school to a weird Montessori school and interacting with the kids there (Episode 039, 39:35; Episode 132, 52:49; and Episode 142, 52:19).

59:50 – Jah and Seth always talk about blind or deaf, and J-dawg happened to be watching a documentary called Sound and Fury about deaf children who get cochlear implants. The two brothers have a recessive gene in their family and have children who are also deaf. The other brother hears but his wife grew up in a deaf family and can hear, but their child is born with the same disease. The deaf parents decide against putting a cochlear implant in their kid and keeping him in the deaf world, while the other couple almost gets excommunicated from the deaf community for deciding to give their child a cochlear implant. Through watching this doc, Jonathan realized that he has an aversion to any medical devices/add-ons to the body that have a flesh-toned color to them – they immediately make him queasy. Something about the color seriously bothers him.
12:38 – The top 5 reasons why men and women cried at work, from Time Magazine: 5) Men: I got a negative performance review.

Men: I was unfairly blamed or criticized for something; 2) Women: I was overwhelmed and cried in order to cope.

15:34 – An article in The New York Times about the Department of Housing and Real Estate mentioned illegal words/phrases you can’t use in the realty classifieds game – no chicanos, not for handicapped, fisherman’s retreat (a euphemism for gay boys).
26:57 – The Red Sox added a bottom’s up valve at Fenway Park (Episode 264, 8:16). Now they want to take liquor that’s only sold at upper-level premium seats and distribute it to the masses.

50:48 – Head lice is out of control with kids. A woman has a salon called the LKY Salon (Lice Knowing You!) near Seattle. They want to call them lice removal technicians.
32:49 – Jah wonders the last time Seth heard “Hollyweird.” Seth thinks maybe it was Fred Durst (Episode 188, 10:03).

28:15 – A new study published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics reports that men are more likely to beat their wives in the event of an NFL upset – if their team loses but was supposed to win. From 1996-2004, the researchers looked at domestic violence stats within general fan regions of 6 NFL teams. When the Vegas odds were upset, they found a 10% increase in domestic violence. The increase was limited to the period spanning the final hour of a game to 2 hours after. If the team lost to a “traditional rival,” domestic violence shot up 20%, versus 8% if it was a non-rival. If the team was in playoff contention, or suffered 4 or more sacks or turnovers or lost 80 or more yards to penalties, the number was even worse.
41:37 – A new survey concerning man and woman has drawn some very different conclusions for different people. Women consider themselves past their prime at the age of 29. Men consider themselves past their prime when they are around 58.
55:45 – People who feel no pain due to a particularly rare genetic defect also can’t smell anything. The unexpected discovery shows that nerves that detect pain and odors rely on the same protein to transmit information to the brain. Researchers examined 3 people who have mutations in the SCN-9A gene and cannot feel pain. All of the people had broken multiple bones without feeling any pain and two had given birth painlessly. None were aware of the fact that they couldn’t smell anything. None of the study participants could distinguish balsamic vinegar, orange, mint, coffee or perfume from plain water, even when researchers poured on so much perfume and vinegar that the scents were unbearable to people with normal senses of smell. This was discovered by an international team of researchers who reported this online in the March 23 edition of Nature.
50:03 – Seth goes off on Kraft Mac & Cheese for their new ad campaign, as well as everyone who eats food out of a box.
