Chapter 1: What unusual topics do David and Dan discuss in this episode?
Time for science with the science appliance. Dr. Dan Riskin on The Last Show with David Cooper.
Oh, we are here with my favorite science. Man, Dr. Dan Riskin, PhD, DVD, RSVP.
You know, I used to just dance to that song and let my little head groove. And now the whole time all I'm thinking is David Cooper is starting to put clips from his stuff on Instagram. And my little dancing is going to end up on Instagram.
i know we uh we we have someone helping me with social media i've been too they it's awkward i haven't watched any of them yet no i have i have watched some of them i've seen them they're very engaging they're very nice okay we're really leaning in we're iterating the ideas get a lot of clips out there and then start making them super tight polished i think it's a good idea they're like each one's like a little like oh i'd like more of that and now i know how to poop thanks to watching in my instagram feed
Oh yeah, that woman was on the show the other day. She's got a big following. Her Instagram handle is TheVaginaWhisperer and she extols the benefits of a healthy pelvic floor. And I saw a video of her just like, she's like this really articulate, like put together, like medical doctor type.
And she's talking about how you can put your thumb inside yourself if you're a woman and push out your poop. Is this getting too gross right now? No, no, keep going. To strengthen and make your pelvic floor healthy. That will help strengthen things? I don't know, man. I mean, you don't have a vagina, so you're not going to do it. I don't, in case any one of our listeners are listening.
Anyway, that didn't come up in my feed. But what did come up in my feed was just talk of the importance of pooping well and how that can have ramifications. And it wasn't in the vagina context that I know of, but I guess maybe it was.
Well, I was asking her questions. She's a big fan of the squatty potty. Do you know what that is? I think I just figured it out. It's a device, and she's not sponsored by this company, but she loves it. They sell like 20, they even have a fancy bamboo one. That's the one I have. That one's like 40 bucks.
But they sell these stools that let you sort of sit on the toilet in a more squatting position, and it's supposed to be a more natural kind of way for your body to be to... Wait, so this thing, you put it down on the top of the toilet, and then you stand on it?

Chapter 2: How do humans compare to primates in terms of penis size?
Oh, that's it? That's it. I was just accrediting him with the terminology because he was like, I just came across these terms. Have you ever heard these? And I was like, no, I've never heard these, but David Cooper's heard them. Maybe he heard them from you. You've never heard Shower versus Grower? Yeah, Grower versus Shower.
I've heard that many times.
Well, maybe we've spent less time at Sauna's than you have.
This is getting weird. Are you sure you want this aired as a podcast, Dan? Definitely as a podcast. Oh, yeah, for sure. I haven't said anything I regret. Okay. I regret everything.
That's good.
There's a restaurant here in New York, and the owner is like this Nabish Jewish guy. The restaurant's called Balthazar, and his memoir is called I Regret Almost Everything. And I'm like, damn, he stole my memoir name, and I didn't even know I wanted my memoir name that.
Yeah, that's a good memoir name. That's good.
Okay, so that's what we have to learn. Women prefer a medium-sized thing. Men are intimidated by you if you have a large-sized thing. Is that the conclusion here?
Yeah, and you know what? If that is true, and that is what they conclude, but I think, I don't know, not everything... Just because we respond to it doesn't mean that's the reason it is the way it is, right? Like...

Chapter 3: What fascinating facts about echidnas are revealed?
I respond to a lion's roar with fear. But that's not why the lion evolved a roar. The roar presumably evolved for something that lions care about. My impression of it doesn't matter. So it may be that penis size evolved for other reasons. A lot of body parts will change shape for reasons that are just like have to do with maybe it's related to genes for tooth size.
And it was actually tooth size that changed. And because it's related genes, it changed the penis size. Like there are lots of other possible explanations. But if it is true... that females like the penis size to be larger, but not crazy large, and fighting men are more intimidated by crazy large.
But the fact is, if that is outside the distribution of what sort of the normal bell curve is, and the bell curve sort of rests around where female preference is, that would suggest that that's been a more important evolutionary pressure than the fighting males thing, that female choice has been much more important than male fighting.
I've always wondered why no one picks fights with you, Dan. But now I know.
That's it. That's the main reason. The main reason is because I'll talk the rear off about science.
Speaking of fear and lions, when we come back in just a few moments with Dan Riskin, we'll talk about how horses engage with fear. But they don't just see it. They don't just feel it. They smell it. A horse can smell a scaredy-pants human. And what that means about riding them, we'll find out. And probably more, maybe less, here with Dan Riskin, who's a doctor. So he's Dr. Dan Riskin.
Kenneth, that's your middle name, right? Yes. Dr. Daniel Kenneth Riskin. What's your birthday and social?
I can't remember right now. I'm having a hard time.
All right, we'll be back.
