Um, and then basically break you down, sweat everything out and then build you back up again.

And so one of the reasons why these things, these images of drugs and such are happening sort of sweat baths is that it's part of that.

Um, there's a sexual component to, um, these things are almost like a, like a Japanese onsen or something like almost like a carnival.

kind of atmosphere, like around the sweat bath, and you go inside and you have all this sort of party stuff that happens, and then you get out.

And the reason why I know enough about it is because there was a person way back in the day, this is back in the 90s, who was on a field project with me who was actually specializing in sweat baths.

And with the help of the Guatemalan government, we restored one of these sweat baths.

And we had people, you know, officials from the Guatemalan government came down, and we all took sweat baths.

together.

No way.

Minus all the drugs and this, and the sex stuff.

Right.

Well, no, but I will tell you this.

I'll tell you this.

I'll tell you this.

Uh, we, um, we had these sweat baths, right.

And, um, you get in, you get in with sweat baths and because you're in your twenties, you know, it's always, and it's, and, and it's men and women, right.

Taking these sweat baths.

You, you, you sort of do these like kind of things like, well, how long can I hang out in there?

You know, how long can you hang out in like in this later?

There's that, there's that kind of, that kind of behavior.
