So you beautiful bastards! Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. I want to preface everything by saying,

Do not worry, I'm home today not because I feel sick, but just because I feel lazy. So back to normal.

With that said, buckle up, hit that like button and let's just jump into it.

Now we're going to start today's show off because the later stories are very, very divisive, is something that unifies us all, and that is, farts.

From the most proper of the proper to the nastiest of the nasty, everyone farts.

I guess more specifically, today's show starts with the question of, do you or would

you fart in front of your partner, or would you hold it until it became literally a medical

issue? And the reason I ask that is because a popular Brazilian singer did just that.

With that singer, Polka, explaining on Instagram stories to her nearly 16 million followers,

I woke up at 5.30 a.m. with severe stomach pains and ended up in the hospital.

Now, someone that got diagnosed with diverticulitis, yes, I'm going to make this my whole personality,

I was like, oh, that sounds familiar.

But Poca then went on to explain that she had refused to fart in front of her boyfriend because they weren't on those terms yet

And explaining that when she started having stomach pain she listened to advice from a TikTok thread

Eventually resulting in her having an accumulation of trapped farts

Which while I think that silly in general like if you really didn't want to do it in front of someone like couldn't you just go outside or go to another room

But once again to bring us back to what I said right at the top, everyone farts, like understand this. And so for this story, it sent me down the dumbest

research rabbit hole I think I've ever gone down. For example, I now know that the

NHS says that everyone farts some people more than others. The average is five to 15 times a day.

With science focus saying that everyone burps and farts around two and a half liters of gas per day. That's not because you're nasty, though, everyone's a little bit nasty.

But it comes from the air we breathe, the drinks we have, the bacteria in our digestive system.

Though if you do fart excessively or it changes, that could be a health problem, so go check that out.
