Yeah, well, tell everybody what's going on here.

I know there was a lot of, you know, when you're young, everyone was like, it'll give you arthritis and it's your bones grinding together and that's what cracking your knuckles is and that can't be good for you.

That's right.

Where there's a joint, that is where two bones meet, but they're separate.

And they're held together by ligaments and connective tissues and all that stuff.

But there's also a very other key ingredient in there.

It's called synovial fluid.

It's a thick, clear liquid that kind of encases that area, right?

That's right.

So they become, you know, they form those bubbles.

And if you stretch that joint far enough, like, you know, trying to crack your knuckles, the pressure in the capsule goes so low that it just pops those bubbles.

And that's the popping sound that we're hearing.

Yeah.

And then the cavitation you mentioned earlier, I think before we break, we should just clear that up.

You said 20 to 30 minutes.

That is how long it takes for that gas to re-dissolve into that joint fluid.

And cavitation is possible again.

Yeah, exactly.

All right, we'll be right back.

Where does your group perform?
