Speaker
Oh my god!
Weather in Massachusetts
00:03:13
Speaker
It's been three days of hot as balls. oh lord. What the fuck is happening? It's fucking May. It's mid-May in Massachusetts. It does not get this hot this early. And it's like, everybody's joking because it's like, of course it's hot. Like, now and then over Memorial Day weekend, it's gonna be like highs in the low 60s with like rain. Yep. Yep.
00:03:39
Speaker
because that's how it always works yep we had two days in a row very hot weather that was yesterday and the day before and today it was like 60 or 64 i don't know it was like low yeah it you know what it might have got up to like 64 or 65 for like an hour and then it seemed to be dropping again after that it was like i had to fuel my bus after work today and like totally was cold without a jacket with just my t-shirt on i was like jesus pete wow yeah it's uh today the high apparently was 88 wow yesterday it got up to like 96 or something shut up crazy 96 oh my god i'm not fucking kidding we did not hit 90 yet yeah it's yesterday was really really really hot and then the day before that i think it was also like 88 or something Or maybe 90. But yesterday was the wildest, though, because it was like, was so fucking hot all day.
00:04:45
Speaker
And then, like, around like 5pm, it got like real dark. And I was like, oh, I know what that means.
00:04:56
Speaker
And we got hit with a beat.
Humorous Interruptions
00:05:01
Speaker
thunder You know what? That's crazy because the two days, like I just mentioned that we just had that were hot, we had violent thunderstorms for like 10 minutes each day. how They like came in so fast and left so fast.
00:05:19
Speaker
It was insane. Maybe not. No, it was longer than that on yesterday. It was longer than that, but like it was, yeah. crazy town crazy town yeah really bad to drive in oh no yeah no i would not want to um i was just gonna say not to interrupt or anything but it's probably it probably came through recording i don't know if you heard it christina there was a crazy fucking loud thump oh i didn't hear it from above me no i didn't it's been it's been a hot minute since uh
00:05:51
Speaker
My upstairs neighbors have decided to bowl. And this doesn't even sound like bowling. It just sounds like dropping bowling balls. Icky thumping. It was just, i love I hate and love that. Love the song. Hate the thought of the mental image. um It was just one thump, but it was like really loud and it was like, felt like it was right over my head. I was like, the fuck um so it probably came through recording. That's what that was.
00:06:17
Speaker
nobody I did not hear it. z lee was injured doesn't You were talking, so I don't know if you you might not have heard it for that reason. But yeah, um thunderstorms. i See, the thing is, it's like...
00:06:31
Speaker
it gave me such the feeling of like summertime thunderstorms that like we touched on a bit when we talked about summertime like as like a childhood concept last year um i remember that like it was so like it's just the fact that like it was so hot all day and then and like jim and i were out for a while and then we came back And we had left the
Nostalgia and Thunderstorms
00:07:01
Speaker
AC running. So, you know, the house in general was feeling pretty cool.
00:07:08
Speaker
Um, even though it was like mostly just in the living room, cause that's where our AC unit is right now. But it was, it was like hot. I was feeling like not quite woozy, but just like, because I don't have any air conditioning in my car, just being out in that heat is like, makes me feel a little woozy in general. Yeah, for sure.
00:07:28
Speaker
um late afternoon curled up in the living room on the couch directly under where the air conditioning blows and then it gets real dark and then I hear some rumbles and they're extra loud because like the windows open because of the air air conditioning even though like it's blocked but like the sound like travels through very clearly and I hear rumbling and Jim comes he took a nap all afternoon he comes out of his room
00:08:00
Speaker
and walks into the living room and sits down we're both like under our blankets respectively like laying on the couch and the thunder is reallyoooo and like the the rain just starts to pour and it's hitting the window and it's hitting the air conditioning unit and it's really loud and it's just like this gorgeous feeling of like it has been so hot and suddenly it's like whoosh yeah the temperature drops pretty quick yeah it feels so good and it just makes me it was it made me quite nostalgic and also every time that it the thunder like rumbled because it was not like a big it wasn't a lot of clapping thunder it was like the rumbly yeah like slow thunder but it was still pretty loud every time that it rolled through i just started giggling I was giggling and I was like you know pulled my blanket up to my chin and was just like wiggling a little bit. I was just like this is the best.
00:09:01
Speaker
Yeah dude yesterday i had physical therapy for my hand and like I'm laying on the there's like the bed thing that you lay on.
00:09:12
Speaker
The medical like. Yeah. I don't know. Is it ah is it ah is it like the ones at the chiropractor? is that what you're talking about? Or like is it more like a doctor's like medical It's not like it's it looks like a massage table probably i don't know but it has a it goes up and down um and like they can like lift up the back to make an incline or whatever like seat yeah yeah but so this particular therapist has me lay on my back which is just the best because i can just completely relax while she's working on my hand so um
00:09:50
Speaker
Yeah, I was laying on that and like we had rumbly thunder as well and it was so loud and like close by that it made like you could feel the building shake and the bed. i felt the vibrations through the the bed that I was laying on. I was like, holy crap. Like that makes the whole building move. Wow.
00:10:10
Speaker
i love it so much. Oh my God.
Reflecting on Vacation
00:10:13
Speaker
yeah it was crazy. It's so good. it just felt like a nice like little early like little taste of of uh summer yep yep summertime and molly is sleazy i'm just kidding it doesn't have to be summertime though i have been known to be a slut in all seasons oh my god oh my god
00:10:44
Speaker
famously slutty a four seasons slut if you will just
00:10:55
Speaker
that's me I just had to come up with something that rhymed with easy well it worked ah it worked out to be like completely true also oh god I'm glad you can roll with it Of course, I'm happy to be proud proudful proudful prideful proud to be a whore.
00:11:21
Speaker
You know, it's Crazy lady. This is me we're talking about.
00:11:29
Speaker
Once upon a time We do not have a topic topic. I can't talk. Are we topicless again? We're topicless again. And in fact, I even look at.
00:11:41
Speaker
Yeah. Just kidding. I look like I'm not wearing a shirt because I'm wearing a tube top. Yep. And the monitors got her just at her chest and above. so it's like, oh, are you like topless? All shoulders.
00:11:55
Speaker
All shoulders. Haha. Yeah, we're topicless again. But who cares? know. We might find something. Yeah, honestly. might stumble upon a topic.
00:12:08
Speaker
True, indeed. Here I am on the final day of my week of vacation. And as I predicted, it went by really fast. um If anything, it taught me that I need more than a week yep vacation. So I'm just over here coping with that reality now. yeah um But it's fine because it was good. And i at least have to just go back for two days and then I get a three day weekend. Yeah.
00:12:44
Speaker
yep i will survive but uh yeah it has been a good break i am glad for you yeah i slept a lot that's great yeah who oh god what a relief man i came home yesterday and yeah as i typically do i just kind of chill on the bed for a bit And like sometime around eight o'clock I started getting drowsy and I was like, you know what? I'm just going to roll over and take a nap.
00:13:19
Speaker
Next thing I know it's 1030 and my kid walks in and he's like, I'm starving. I'm like, oh shit. Why didn't you wake me up sooner? Now I got to feed you at 1030 at night. <unk> like Dang it.
00:13:32
Speaker
Yeah, no, he, we, we were hanging out with my friend and her and I like he, Oh God. Yeah. Okay. Because of the thunderstorms and the craziness, the weather and stuff, there was like crazy wind, like a lot of wind storms, like a lot of tree branches came down and stuff. So his school got closed because of power outages.
00:13:55
Speaker
So we ended up having to take him over or my husband had to take him to my friend's house to So she could watch him and my kid, my husband lit and my husband can go to work.
00:14:06
Speaker
So anyway, i was like, all right, I'm just going to come hang out at your place with the kiddo. And um John had got him a Burger King kid's meal or whatever.
Finding Happiness in Challenges
00:14:17
Speaker
and i was like, all right, Julie, you hungry? So we just got like Thai food and I asked him if he wanted anything. And he was like, nope, because he just ate his Burger King. And so i figured he was good for a while.
00:14:31
Speaker
But like didn't expect, you know what I mean? To fall asleep and then be like 1030 at night. Like, oh shit. Yeah. Dang it. Yeah.
00:14:41
Speaker
So he got fed and then we went to sleep. Good, good. Yeah. Good, good.
00:14:51
Speaker
Yeah, we had a little bit of an early night ish last night too. We were like. I mean, early is relative, right? So like sometimes we we'll stay up till like 1130 or 12.
00:15:04
Speaker
I think we decided we were ready for bed at like 1030 last night.
00:15:10
Speaker
Because it was just, I don't know, one of those days after like, again, the heat, I mean, the heat really takes it out of ya yes you. Yes. Oh, yes, it does. So that absolutely contributed.
00:15:23
Speaker
But we also, like, had a nice... it was It was a good evening. We had, like, you know, cooked pasta and baked, like, frozen chicken tenders. So we made that, and it was delicious. And we watched TV, and it was... I don't know. It was just... I feel good, man. Like, not just, like, good, like, oh, I'm rested. I had a whole week off. But, like, good, like...
00:15:55
Speaker
optimistic almost which sounds insane maybe it's the weather change but maybe maybe it is i mean i do i have said it again i've said it before i will say it again always i come alive in the summertime yes bitch i didn't really last summer but like last summer was like all of last year was rough all of last year was really hard um this year i have a lit little more of like a devil may care feeling you know sort of like fuck it here here ros or yeah very much very much that I just I'm tired of caring so much about everything all the time yeah and I'm just like
00:16:53
Speaker
god damn it fuck it be happy yep it's an energy drain dude it is it is and that's ultimately like what the fucking like you know oligarchy bourgeoisie wants to do to us is drain us of our like energy and motivation and it is an act of rebellion to say no fuck you i won't let you take my happiness right Or all my energy. Or all my energy. Yeah.
00:17:26
Speaker
Yeah. It's so... It's hard. Because this, you know, in actuality... Because, you know, last year I feel was extremely challenging for the fact that we flipped back to a fascist regime.
00:17:43
Speaker
And horrible shit was being, like... reported on in the news goddamn every year damn year every day yeah you know like and that's not necessarily diminished this year no anything it's kind of gotten fucking i think it's gotten worse i do i think things are just compounding at this point yeah it's insane yeah and so i'm just i don't know i'm just at a point where i'm like Fuck it, you know? If this asshole can start an illegal war and let it wage on for months and have untold impacts not only on, like, the immediate, like...
00:18:25
Speaker
you know, citizens that are being attacked in Iran, but also like across the globe, then i can freewheel it and, you know, get like cuddly under my blanket during a thunderstorm and embrace joy and feel no guilt about it. Yes.
00:18:49
Speaker
Indeed. And eat my chicken tendies and watch TV. Fuck anyone who feels like we need to be in panic mode hypervigilance.
00:19:02
Speaker
All the time. Can't do it. It'll kill us. Can't and shouldn't. Exactly. Yeah.
Magic of Human Existence
00:19:09
Speaker
So it's just that's how I've been feeling. Mm-hmm.
00:19:15
Speaker
Don't let the bastards get you down. As they say. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:19:24
Speaker
Oh.
00:19:27
Speaker
i need some magic i need some magic in my life yeah i do and you have it really like if you think about the fact that like you know our very existence is magical
00:19:45
Speaker
but you know if you have something else or something more specific in mind please speak on that but i am happy to uh go on a tangent about how like we as human beings are magical let's do it which one yeah the tangent your tangent let's do it us as human beings are magical yeah we're fucking magical bro oh me let's get into it let's get down to business to defeat the huns oh jesus christ No, I just was thinking like I just need to do more to do some magical things and like get more in touch with my stuff again. i haven't really been doing anything. so It's been hard. Yeah.
00:20:39
Speaker
It's been really hard. It's hard to just exist, let alone like, you know, have personal goals and like things that you were trying to do. At this point, I think I would just be really happy with like finding all of my witchy books and all of my tarot decks and putting them all together like in one spot because they're scattered everywhere in this house and I like I've lost track of like what I even have now it's crazy yeah that is i mean that in and of itself is like an act of like
00:21:12
Speaker
magic and rebellion ah you know uh you know rebelling against the uh exhaustion to just get yourself more organized and there from there it's easier to then focus excuse me jesus focus on like what it is you want to be focusing on and being magical human beings and being magical fucking human beings exactly exactly ah god it's true and i've been feeling obviously i've been feeling the exact same way like there's so much that i feel like i haven't been able to make time or energy for in my life yeah and like i want it i want it so bad oh yeah yeah
00:22:02
Speaker
yeah but it's magical to even just like take a breath ah you know It's magical to sit here and talk to you about how magical we are.
00:22:16
Speaker
Yep. It's magical to look at the twilight outside and the way that like everything just...
Soul Pods and Karmic Connections
00:22:27
Speaker
Twilight is such a magical time.
00:22:31
Speaker
And dawn. But like, yeah, those like crazy cool in between liminal times of the day are so magical. It's magical to be looking at your background behind you and your living environment and wish that I was there because I know how amazing and cozy it is.
00:22:52
Speaker
and your decorating sense is amazing. a Half of it's Jim, but thanks. No, dude, you had so much of that going on by yourself before. Yeah. He came around. I had the beginnings of it, but I didn't have the like physical like bandwidth and capability to like get it all done. Yeah.
00:23:11
Speaker
And he just like took what I was doing and ran with it. He helped hang stuff on your walls, but I think you had a lot of that stuff yourself first. Yeah, he took. Well, that's the thing is I had all the stuff, but like.
00:23:24
Speaker
He like dug it out of the boxes that it was still packed in from when I originally moved fucking three years ago. And like, he's the one that like pulled it all out and like just started putting things up. Yeah.
00:23:39
Speaker
And I deeply, deeply appreciate that because like, I just, I was, I had hit a wall, I guess. It was cozy. It was good in here. But he's really like putting the finish and finishing touches.
00:23:53
Speaker
jim i I have to commend him for doing that. Jim is magical. He is magical. Thank you, Jim. it is Today is six years ago that I first met him. Oh my god!
00:24:05
Speaker
Yeah. It's an Annie! yeah Basically. just Yeah. It's, ah he's magic. And I mean, i said it before. And as much as he supports this podcast and and likes it in concept, he doesn't listen to it. So I can get all gushy right now and not have any protesting from him when I say that
00:24:37
Speaker
Yeah, it's not anything that I've said. It's not. it's not about the but It's no different from anything I've said before, where like he literally is showing up in my life in the first place was like a magical thing, even though it was like not obvious at the time. hmm.
00:24:56
Speaker
But like in retrospect, being able to look back and, you know, hindsight always being twenty twenty like looking back and understanding like we we were meant to show up in each other's lives like for so many reasons, not the least of which is that like now like during this, you know, critical time of his life in addiction recovery that I get to support him the way that I do. Mm-hmm.
00:25:24
Speaker
Which is like a thing that I always felt like I was going to do even before he ever was talking about knowing that he needed to get sober. Like it was always in the back of my mind, like the moment that he is ready to make that decision, i just know that like I can and will do whatever I can to support him. hmm.
00:25:48
Speaker
And then when it finally happened, when that time came around, here I was with like perfectly positioned to be like, you know, safety net.
00:26:02
Speaker
Literally for him of like, you know, days before his like program um in rehab ends, he's like, I have nowhere to live. And I'm over here like live with me. Mm hmm.
00:26:15
Speaker
without even having thought about it the thought had not crossed my mind genuinely yeah and then i get to say like live with me you can do it i own the place yeah and i have a whole second bedroom yep and uh and then he did and then it's been like
00:26:37
Speaker
i guess like nine ish months since he got out of rehab yeah and uh he's still here h and he's thriving He's thriving. He's doing great.
00:26:47
Speaker
I'm doing well, great in some ways and less than great in other ways, but you know, that's okay. Yeah. It's always been the case with me. um But like, I'm on a track to be, ah being able to get myself where I want to be.
00:27:05
Speaker
And honestly, part of it is like, you know, I'm supporting him, but he's also supporting me. Yeah. Y'all are supporting each other. Yeah. Like, there's absolutely, like, some sort of a cosmic, karmic soul contract between us.
00:27:24
Speaker
Like, i I know it to be true. So, that is fucking magic. And that's a soul pod. Mm-hmm. no To get back to the theme of our fucking podcast.
00:27:37
Speaker
That is literally like what soul pods are. are like soul contracts and soul like, you know, cosmic relationships through multiple lifetimes. Yeah.
00:27:50
Speaker
And we are so lucky. We've said it before. We'll say it again. we are so lucky to have like i correctly identified each other and like other people too in our lives as being part of our soul pod or our respective soul pods you talking about me and you or him and you no you i lost the i lost the uh direction you were heading with that sorry yes i mean because we are the hosts of this podcast right um like it feels like such a privilege to be
00:28:30
Speaker
like aware of it as it's happening yeah you know rather than like reaching the end of our lives or reaching you know the other side after the this life is over um and you know retrospectively realizing like oh like that's who that person was yeah like no we we recognize it we can see it here and now yeah um and i feel very blessed to have that privilege Definitely.
00:29:02
Speaker
Yeah. That's fucking magic, bro.
00:29:06
Speaker
who Talk about magic, girl. Tell me your thoughts. Tell me your thoughts about things. I think it's magical that my body can produce giant farts every 30 seconds.
00:29:19
Speaker
That sure fucking is magic. I thought you were going to go in the direction of producing human beings, which is also magical. I had some Taco Bell for lunch today and there was lots of beans.
00:29:32
Speaker
And literally my body reacts to the beans like big time. yeah Your body reacts to like literally anything. No, this is like the need to produce farts. Way worse. I mean, like these are giant rumbly farts like every 30 seconds. Oh no, I know. I know. Oh my God. When are they going to stop?
00:29:53
Speaker
I have pooped today twice, so i shouldn't be needing to fart this much. Thanks for announcing that. I'm sorry.
00:30:04
Speaker
Oh my god. let me Oh my god. Fuck. Ew. I'm sorry,
Missing Babyhood
00:30:12
Speaker
Molly. Jesus Christ. um sorry moy right I don't know if you caught it, but I was trying to say that I thought you were going to say that ah I thought you were going in the direction of that your body can produce beautiful human beings.
00:30:31
Speaker
Yes, it can do that too. yeah Oh my God. a can and it has. Yes. Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
00:30:42
Speaker
If i wasn't so old, I would have another baby because I love babies, but I am too old.
00:30:51
Speaker
Well, babies are also such a short period of time. I know, and I didn't get to enjoy either babyhoods very well.
00:31:02
Speaker
You know, I didn't get to enjoy you as a baby. and then Mr. Little boy over here, i you know, had a lot of crazy stuff going on when he was first born and things were not copacetic, as they say.
00:31:18
Speaker
um But he was a baby for a while after that. He was a baby for a long time. but At least another year. It's like, I just love it. I love that period so much.
00:31:30
Speaker
And I want more of that. Well, I can't relate. i know I'm aware.
00:31:44
Speaker
I will have an occasional moment. And this is a big, anybody who knows me knows how much of a concession this is. I'll have an occasional moment of, oh, that child is being cute.
00:31:55
Speaker
But like, it's usually through a screen where it's not something that I have to like, you know, deal with in my daily life. um Like I do enjoy watching videos of like people making a baby laugh. Yeah.
00:32:12
Speaker
that's cute or like toddlers who say really cute things like ah there was one that i saw recently of i was like a mom who had to be younger than me frankly because i'm just getting old um who and i i literally this is so fucking weird right now i'm having a moment of am 33 34
00:32:42
Speaker
I'm 33, right? Yeah. Okay, good. You're going to be 34 this August. Yeah. That's what I thought. Okay.
00:32:55
Speaker
Anyway, I'm getting old. That is so funny. And so many people who are significantly younger than me, and I say significantly meaning like at least five years, you know? Who are having babies intentionally...
00:33:12
Speaker
And it's not weird, you know, because they're like 27, 28 years old. Yeah. And married. Yeah. Anyway, all that to say, this video of this mom that was definitely younger than me and she had like a three or four year old, i don't know, young toddler-esque child daughter took her to Ikea and just like didn't put her like visage, didn't put her image on screen at all like you know if anything we got like the back of her head occasionally but just put a little microphone like a little like microphone to her shirt or something and just like picked up all the cute things that this child said as they were walking from ikea and it was really cute that's magical yeah that's Do you remember? What else is magical? Sorry, go ahead. Do you remember any of the cutesy little things that she said? No. I mean, she said like yellow cute, like Lello or something, but like, i don't know. Okay.
00:34:18
Speaker
I just remember really enjoying it. And there's been a couple of times I've seen a video of a probably about five, maybe six year old child who's this very cute girl that her parents taught her to snowboard super, super young. Oh, yeah, I've seen that.
00:34:40
Speaker
Yeah, and they like mic her up and you can actually like you see her like in her little snowsuit and she's also always wearing like a tutu. And she's got like a full head helmet on all the time.
00:34:53
Speaker
So you can't actually like see her face, which like I just I have a thing about like people please keep your children's and identities, you know, private. Yeah, I think that's a really important thing to do. But like, yeah, like basically just like, you know, mic this child up as she's snowboarding. And she's so cute. She's just like singing and like being like, we you know and she's like snowboarding so much better than i ever did it's like i i skied decently well but every time i tried to snowboard it was horrific i was on my ass and honestly falling like on my head sometimes like on out so like i'm just so fucking impressed by this child that can snowboard so goddamn well and uh that's fucking magic man
00:35:44
Speaker
I think it's awesome. love that. Not to mention also like just how supportive her like parents are. you know Because they're obviously filming and like snowboarding with her and then like she like goes off a little jump and they're like you did so good! I like watching that.
00:36:04
Speaker
Yeah.
00:36:06
Speaker
Yeah. Yay! So good.
00:36:11
Speaker
It's magic. Yes ma'am. Oh, oh, oh, it's magic. You know. That's not I don't know the fucking tune. Whatever.
00:36:28
Speaker

00:36:40
Speaker
Yep. I need me some more sleep in my life. soon soon you'll get as much as you desire yes
00:36:55
Speaker
can't come soon enough yeah you know what's magical coca-cola who i love coke it's a fucking potion it's so good it's so good it's it is do enjoy it it's it's like not entirely the original recipe because the original recipe contained cocaine okay but the fact that it has lasted this long in like throughout like humanity when was it invented what like the 1880s something i don't know honestly don't know but this is gonna sound crazy
00:37:38
Speaker
because I was going to pose this to our friends in the Marcos. Oh yeah. Like the older ones. Okay. But my mother used to give me this medicine that was the weirdest shit ever. And I keep meaning to Google it and try to figure out what the hell it was. I, I want to say the name of it. i think I know the name. I think I've got that part correct. But like,
00:38:03
Speaker
what the hell the shit even was for anyway it was some kind of liquid or something but it i remember it being called and this don't laugh at me i'm not making this up okay paragoric why would i laugh at that it's just the weirdest name ever i don't know i've never heard of it i know because that was an old-fashioned fucking medicine and like it doesn't exist anymore as far as i know But I want to know if my old frenzies in our little group had any experience with that.
00:38:42
Speaker
I'll bet you one of them did, but I don't know. And like, yeah I can't even remember what it was to treat, but I do vaguely remember my mom talking about mixing it with Coke or something to drink.
00:38:59
Speaker
I don't know. Interesting. Interesting. I think to like dilute the taste. Yeah. It might've had fucking alcohol in it or something. I don't even know. Cause back then that shit wasn't illegal to give kids with alcohol in it. Yeah. you know Yeah. Yeah.
00:39:14
Speaker
Well, I just looked it up and well, did you really? You're not yours. ah I looked up when Coke was invented okay and I was on the nuggets. It was invented on May 8th, 1886. dude.
00:39:29
Speaker
so it is We just had an anniversary. Because it's 26 and that was 86. Right. So it's almost exactly 140 years old. Damn, dude.
00:39:44
Speaker
Yep. It was invented by doctor as a pharmacist, Dr. John Pemberton pemberton in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Crazy.
00:39:54
Speaker
at a place called Jacob's Pharmacy. Hmm. Yeah.
00:40:01
Speaker
And it was originally marketed as a temperance drink and nerve tonic. Temperance. What does that mean? i know what a nerve tonic is supposed to be, but. Like, well, temperance has like the same kind of vibe of just like cooling you off.
00:40:17
Speaker
You know? and like not even in a temperature way, in like a mood way. Yeah. Which is crazy because it had cocaine it. Yeah.
00:40:28
Speaker
so right but i suppose for certain people that probably had somewhat of a uh you know calming effect it might have kind of the way that like fucking you know adderall like microdosing meth is uh you know what calms down our kinds of brains with adhd yeah yeah it really it's it's it's a fucking potion coca-cola is a fucking potion You're muted.
00:40:59
Speaker
Damn it. Tis. Sorry about that. it is. It is. um Yeah. Literally. Yeah.
00:41:14
Speaker
Yeah. I'm going to need to look that up now. Yeah. weird medicine. Might as well. Do you have any more thoughts on magic? um Right now?
00:41:28
Speaker
no No. Okay. Oh my god. What? Oh my god. What? like So I just like looked up paragoric.
00:41:44
Speaker
Okay. Whoa, dude Alright. Camphorated tincture of opium. Also known as Tinctura opicamforata
Historical Use of Paragoric
00:42:03
Speaker
is a but patent medicine known for its anti-diarrhea, anti-tussive, which is, I'm guessing, a coughing kind of situation, and analgesic properties. Analgesic? Yeah. Yeah.
00:42:21
Speaker
According to Goodman and Gilman's 1965 edition, Paragoric is a 4% opium tincture in which there is also benzoic acid, camphor, and anise oil.
00:42:35
Speaker
It's a fucking potion. Wow. Paragoric by tradition is used especially for children. Wow.
00:42:47
Speaker
Damn, this guy's holding a bottle from nineteen forty or nineteen forty s does it still exist i doubt it but you can't tell um regulation and use since 1970 until 1970 paragoric could be purchased in the united states at a pharmacy without a medical prescription in accordance with federal law federal law dictated that no more than two ounces of Paragoric be dispensed by any pharmacy to the same purchaser within a 48 hour period. Purchasers were also required to sign a register or log book and pharmacies were technically required to request identification from any purchaser not personally known to the pharmacist.
00:43:32
Speaker
Some states further limited the sale of Paragoric or banned over-the-counter sales entirely. For example, Michigan law allowed over-the-counter sale of Paragoric until April 1964, but still allowed over-the-counter sales of certain exempt cough medication preparations that contain 60 mg of codeine per fluid ounce.
00:43:59
Speaker
Even where legally permissible by law over the counter sales of Paragoric was subject to the discretion of individual pharmacists. I wonder if my mom had an old bottle that was around for a long time because yeah in 1970 Paragoric was classified as a schedule three drug under the controlled substances act. However, drugs that contained a mixture of kaolin, pectin, and Paragoric were classified as schedule five drugs. They were available over the counter without a prescription in many States until the early 1990s.
00:44:39
Speaker
At which time the FDA banned the sale of anti-diarrheal drugs containing kaolin and pectin. um Also Donna gel PG, which Donna gel kind of sounds familiar contained tincture of Bella Donna,
00:44:57
Speaker
whoa What the hell? Which became prescription only on January 1st, 1993. Paragoric is currently listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia.
00:45:10
Speaker
um Manufacture of the drug was discontinued for several months beginning in late 2011. However, production and distribution resumed in 2012, so the drug is still available in the United States by prescription. Thus, it is unclear as to whether the lapse in manufacture actually resulted in a so shortage of the drug at any time, since prescription drugs are often still available for many months after manufacture has been discontinued.
00:45:38
Speaker
In France, Paragoric was available without prescription until 1986. Nowadays, it is used to wean infants born to opiate-addicted women.
00:45:51
Speaker
That's insane. Holy shit. Wow. And then underneath, like at the bottom, this is Wikipedia, by the way. Okay. ah At the bottom of that, the first thing listed of under related articles, laudanum.
00:46:09
Speaker
which we have seen on outlander yeah a lot yeah and that is described as a tincture of opium as well yeah it is that's true interesting yep my mom was drugging me up i there's a lot i could say right now that i am refraining from okay refrain if you want to sure and um on that note since you uh cut me off earlier so sorry how about a mad lib yeah sure good thank you i was hoping you would say that
