Adam trying to describe butthole mindfulness he used to attempt to sense the exit is hilarious.

WE CALLED IT, we knew Adam wouldn't be able to resist

[InstantCasette]

It went through adam's cave. Thank you.

I donated a kidney. Normally, I'm not one for revisiting stories of injury etc. despite being good in the moment when providing aid. However, I am really glad I asked the surgical team to take a picture of my kidney after it was extracted. I have a framed picture of it in my office.

Adam blushing and then saying in a small voice "this feels so personal" was hilarious.😂

Im an ex-nurse. Whilst i was practicing i had the dubious pleasure of having to retrive one of these GI tract camera pills from the used bed pan of a patient. The doctor had only just started using them ( this was 11 years ago) and wished to examine the camera after its passage through the digestive system. That was a whole heap of fun.

All about preparation. A bucket, a spray hose, and a bit of window screen go a long way.

i was the guinea pig to this process nearly 20 years ago. when you showed the older pill line up, i immediately remembered everything about those days. wearing a body receiver, the movements, etc... thank you for the memories; the horrible, horrible memories.

I remember when I had a cyscopy ( camera into my bladder via urethra) You normally see the inside of a pinkish balloon. Instead I saw what looked like the scenery from Aliens, 4 linked cavers with a ribbed structure on the walls. My bladder has split into 4 sections, the ribbing is known as trabeculation. My first thought was "Can I have a copy please, I want to model this for the end scene of a game of D and D".
I'm in decent health, it was caused by a benign (non spreading ) tumour and 8 years later I'm totally fine, I just happen to know my insides look a LOT cooler than most people.

Adam I became an engineer in the world you created. We were so honored to have your team over to experience PillBot!

I totally retrieved my PillCam a couple of months back. I wasn’t planning on it cause ewww, but when I saw it sitting there all by itself at the bottom of the toilet, while the 💩 itself was floating, I couldn’t get bear the idea of flushing such a cool scientific marvel. I gloved up, disinfected it in Lysol (it was 100% visibly clean, had to kill bacteria, viruses, and grosses), and now I have it in a little keepsake box.

Now I have it as a little memento from the time I swallowed a camera . . . and to ick ppl out for laughs. Must say, after the initial reaction of horrified, grossed out faces upon realizing where that PillCam had been, it sparks a cool conversation about science, medicine, and all the possibilities on the horizon in this space. And yes, I always reference the video you did with the Robot Cam so others can see what’s on the horizon.

I had to provide a "sample" once for a medical diagnosis - and it was the hardest most unpleasant task ever. But I could change my kids diapers without issues. The cultural and evolutionary conditioning to avoid your own excrement is *incredibly strong*. I don't blame you man.

[Kjata]

I’m sorry. All I could think of was Futurama. “Good news! It’s a suppository!” If you know that episode 😂

[frankgulla]

Thank you, Adam, for your honesty and forthright manner.

[kunger]

Thanks. I was wondering about the pillbots too. Now I feel better that I'm not the only one who finds this interesting, and that I'm not as weird as I thought.

[licensetodrive]

Thank you! Had a hell of a day and you got me laughing out loud with your candid explanations of what you want to be filmed one day but unsure if you actually want to watch afterwards.

[jwjeff]

a slow motion flatulation is simultaneously something I really want to see, and something I never want to see.

[Astromechy]

As someone who works in the medical profession, I have a really high "ick" tolerance. I have to be constantly aware of my conversations with other people, as I can easily get the conversation to that "uncomfortable silence" phase.

[tavomcdouglas]

This is why I keep coming back to the internet. Amazing.
