Something Strange Happens To Single Guys After 7pm - Joe Santagato
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
In this discussion, Joe Santagato and his guest explore a peculiar phenomenon affecting single men after 7:00 p.m., describing how they often become restless or engage in bizarre behaviors when left alone at home without their partners. The conversation is sparked by an anecdote about the speaker's friend who lives solo; upon returning from dinner, he found the man performing headstands and leaving random notes around the house just to entertain himself between 8:30 p.m. and late night. This highlights a common struggle for single individuals regarding how to fill their time in the evening without companionship, leading some to develop strange hobbies or simply wander aimlessly while cleaning until they feel bored enough to consider going out for a walk. The dialogue shifts to specific examples of these odd behaviors through stories about sneezing and dental mishaps involving Santagato's father-in-law. The speaker recounts an incident where his friend allegedly sneezed fifteen times in a row, causing significant agitation due to the potential impact on blood flow and heart rhythm mentioned by ChatGPT during their conversation. This leads into a more detailed story about the guest's father, who was convinced he had sun allergies that caused him to lose entire teeth while sleeping; one such tooth remained intact but ended up stored in his sock drawer rather than being replaced or immediately addressed with dental care. Further illustrating these eccentric habits, the speakers describe their father-in-law driving them on highways at high speeds only to sneeze violently enough to cause the vehicle to drift out of its lane, creating a dangerous situation that terrified the younger generation during their high school years. The narrative also touches upon his construction work in a van filled with tools and heavy machinery like wrecking balls and miter saws, where he would sit precariously on the edge of equipment while driving, adding to the chaotic nature of his lifestyle. These stories serve as humorous yet cautionary tales about how loneliness or specific personality traits can manifest in unpredictable physical actions that defy normal social expectations. The conversation concludes with a transition into health and wellness advice regarding gut health and fiber intake, sponsored by Momentous Fiber Plus. The speakers note that 95% of Americans do not consume enough fiber, which is essential for digestion, gut barrier strength, and blood sugar stability. They promote the product as a comprehensive solution to these nutritional deficiencies, offering details about their subscription model, international shipping capabilities, and a thirty-day money-back guarantee.

We got to talk about that insight that
we came up with last night that if
you're a guy who doesn't have a
girlfriend in the house after 7:00 p.m.
you kind of go a bit insane.
>> Dude.
>> What do you do?
>> I I can tell you I have a friend who is
single and lives on his own now and I
just get like
random headstand pictures. I'm like,
"Are you doing headstands?"
Like, what are you doing? You're
stretching? Like
It's 8:30. What are you stretching for?
You can like how hard do you go to bed?
Like it's time for sleep soon. Like what
are you doing? Like it's like random
things like that. I think I asked him
recently. I was like,
"Uh what do you do all day?"
He's a very busy guy. I don't want to
take away but like during those hours
it's like, "How do you entertain
yourself?" Cuz at this point I don't
know how to do that. When like my fiance
leaves, I'm kind of like,
"What the hell do I do now?" Like
there's no one here. Like I just kind of
like walk around. I like clean [ __ ] and
then I just like
there's not much to do. Like I'm like,
"Oh, this is kind of boring. Am I going
to go for a walk?"
I don't know.
>> You find yourself building weird
hobbies. So
>> Yeah.
>> I was leaving the house last night to go
to dinner with you because you're an
insane person and decided to have dinner
at 7:30 p.m. Which for me is like, "Is
that not [ __ ] late?"
>> What are you talking about?
>> That's pretty [ __ ] late. That's
pretty [ __ ] late.
>> That's not late. That's [ __ ]
>> 7:30's late?
>> Okay, we'll split 50/50 in the room.
7:30 Yeah, well you was on [ __ ]
Eastern time again. Uh
So I'm leaving the house and his
girlfriend's in Costa Rica.
He looks at me and he looked really sad
and he was like came up and he whispered
and he's like,
"I don't know what to do."
>> [laughter]
>> I said, "Where are you going?"
>> know what to do. Like puppy dog eyes.
He's like,
"I don't know what to do." I'm like,
"George, it's fine. You'll do I don't
know what you'll
read stuff or whatever." And I got back
and he'd written all of this stuff and
he had posted notes everywhere. So, he'd
done He was doing headstands. Yeah. He'd
done his equivalent of doing headstands.
>> Yeah.
>> And then it
10:30 p.m. Just 11:00 after I got back
from dinner, I must have heard him
sneeze
15 times in a row.
>> What the hell was he doing?
>> [ __ ] 15 times in a row. This is
agitating to me.
>> Yeah.
>> How annoying must that be if you're the
sort of What's the most number of times
you've had a sneeze in a row?
>> I've never gotten close to 15. I think
you'd die if you do that. [laughter]
I think I've done like five good ones,
and then everyone tells you to shut the
[ __ ] up. You get two sneezes.
>> 15, bro. 15, I mean, I'm kicking this
guy out of my house.
>> Get the [ __ ] out. I know you wrote those
posted notes earlier on, and you've been
lonely tonight, but it does not excuse
you sneezing 15 times.
>> 15's crazy. Is he dead?
>> I It
I don't actually haven't seen him today.
Maybe.
>> Yeah, he's probably dead, dude. You
should probably check on him. Doesn't it
Isn't like a There was like an old like
thing. It's like if you sneeze, your
like heart stops. I'm like
15.
>> Ask ChatGPT. If you sneeze, does your
heart stop?
>> Or something like that.
>> [ __ ] wait for this.
Uh
>> The AI's going to be like, "What idiot
asked that question?"
>> [laughter]
>> No. What does happen is if sneezing
briefly changes the pressure inside your
chest, that pressure change can slightly
affect blood blood flow, momentarily
alter your heart rhythm, which is why
some people feel like their heart skips
a beat. It happens.
>> Oh, so he's altering his blood flow like
crazy in there.
>> It But the worst thing was I thought it
was over,
and then there would be a 30-second
break.
>> And then it would come back.
>> I'm like, [ __ ] what? Are you serious?
>> like a loud He's a loud sneezer?
>> loud one.
>> I honestly
>> big nose.
>> I I but
>> [laughter]
>> I would prefer that. I hate people who
sneeze like inside their bodies. It
scares me, dude. Where's like I'm like,
"Yo, you're going to hurt your neck or
something. Like, [laughter]
your eyes are going to explode out of
your head. Like, chill." Like, I have a
friend that does that. I'm I'm "Yo, just
open your mouth." Like, just it comes
out.
>> be fixed.
>> It just comes out naturally if you just
like
let your lips flap.
>> Do you think
>> [laughter]
>> Poof.
>> I wonder if there's a personality trait
if there's a commonality between the
sort of people who
keep the sneeze in?
>> Oh, man.
What is it? I mean, it's not really like
a learned thing, I guess. You just kind
of like
>> when you're driving. I get scared when
I'm driving.
>> Bro, first of all, you want to talk
about that. My dad, by the way, I'm
convinced he's allergic to the sun.
I don't know what's going on. But when
he he would sometimes he would drive me
to school when I was in high school.
>> Mhm.
>> We would get in the car.
First thing he does is uh before he
starts the car, he would take his key
and clean out his ears with the key,
right?
Is this just the guy he is? I I I don't
know that And he's deaf. He's not deaf,
but he might as well be.
>> deaf. He's definitely deaf after
sticking the car key in his ear.
>> If he went to the doctor, they'd be
like, "You're deaf." But he cuz he can't
hear.
But he's been shoving car keys in his
ears like that. Then he would start the
car, right? That would take 10 minutes
cuz it's a you know, it's a completely
[ __ ] up minivan. Uh and then we would
be driving on the highway and he would
he would let off 10.
On the highway. We're going 60, 70, and
he's sneezing and I'm looking at him
like,
"My guy, we're
we're drifting, okay? We're not in a
middle lane right now. Like, we're on
the we're on a highway. You got to chill
the [ __ ] out." And this So, I was scared
for my life mostly when I was going to
high school because of that. Um
yeah. And there was a time where he used
to
drive around in a
like a work van cuz he he was like a
um
he worked construction.
He would uh throw us in the back.
There wasn't any seats back there.
It was just me and my brother. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. And there's tools, there's,
you know, 2 by 4s and wood and
>> There's a wrecking ball and washing
machine.
>> There's yeah, there's like a [ __ ]
miter saw there and I'm like
I'm sitting on the edge of the mitosis
hoping that he doesn't hit the brakes
cuz the thing's going to go right into
my spine. But, this is like
what he would do and I I really believe
that he's allergic to the sun.
Like, he's an interesting guy. His whole
tooth came out one time.
The entire tooth. The entire tooth.
Like, if you Google
cartoon tooth
like the ones on commercials that have
like a toothbrush and dance or they got
like the fangs or whatever, that came
out of his mouth.
How does that even happen to a person?
>> When? What was he doing?
>> Sleeping.
He wasn't even chewing gum. He wasn't
doing anything. He just popped out of
his mouth.
>> You know what you should have done?
Headstands before he went to bed.
>> I went to church.
I prayed.
>> Headstands.
>> Yeah, no, he's not doing a headstand.
Not now.
>> That's how hard he sleeps.
>> Dude, he his tooth popped out in his
sleep, which is insane. And then he just
like Usually when that happens
>> his teeth. He's got to grind his teeth.
He's got to be.
>> Bro, I mean
>> It's either that or the same demons that
got Tucker Carlson in his sleep.
>> How strong is his jaw? Is it like the
[ __ ] a gorilla's jaw?
>> Or someone walking in there and hitting
them with a bat in the mouth.
>> Over a bunch of years, I think you can
pretty easily like crack a tooth by
grinding your teeth.
>> But, the tooth was intact. It was a
tooth. It was just a tooth. I'm looking
at a tooth.
>> Actually, yeah.
>> Like, it just his body was just like
>> Was it a molar?
One tooth?
>> I'm not a dentist. I don't know if it
was a molar.
>> [laughter]
>> It was an incisor or whatever the [ __ ]
that [ __ ] is called. Um, I have no idea.
What is that going to do for you also?
Knowing which tooth it was. Which tooth
was it? Oh, okay.
>> Makes Makes so much more sense.
>> It wasn't one of his front tooth though.
Like, you could hide it. It was It was
one of the the back ones. Maybe it was a
molar. Um, but it popped out and usually
you're like, "Oh, [ __ ] I should go to
the dentist because I'm probably dying."
That's what I would think. And then, uh,
he just put it in his sock drawer and he
went back to sleep.
And then we never really talked about it
until now.
Now, he's going to see this thing and
he's going to remember like Yeah, your
[ __ ] tooth popped out. Yeah. Oh,
[ __ ]
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah. I need to get that out of my sock
drawer and put it back in. the sock
drawer.
>> Yeah. Where is that thing? We kept it
though.
We kept it. My parents used to keep our
teeth. Your parents do that? Is that an
American thing or British thing?
>> I think that's a British thing.
>> You They kept your teeth when
>> Well, yeah, cuz our teeth look like
cigarettes.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You guys have crazy
teeth.

energy, your recovery, how well you
absorb everything that you eat, and the
