- One time, my poop was like as big as a grown-up poop.
- (laughs)
- No I'm not kidding.
- Ah, sorry - That actually happened.
(upbeat classical music)
- Hi. - Hi!
- I'm Marina.
- I'm MaKayla. - Nice to meet you!
- You too.
- Are you a doctor?
- I am a doctor.
What part of the body do you think I take care of?
- The sickness inside of you?
- Uh-huh. Inside of you where?
- Head. - Head!
- No.
- Heart? - No.
(fart noises)
- What was that? - Fart.
- Did you do that?
- No. - Oh.
- Yeah so I take care of problems with poop and farting.
(giggles)
- It's my job.
- Is it also called a scatologist?
- It's a gastroenterologist.
- Oh well, close enough. - Close, close!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
(giggles)
- No? You're not allowed to talk about poop?
How come?
- Just because it's not appropriate?
- It's just weird to talk about.
- It can make other people uncomfortable.
- Mhmm, but sometimes it's okay to talk about it, right?
When would that be?
- At the bathroom?
- If you're in the bathroom
it's a good time to talk about poop.
What if you're having a problem with poop?
- How about a diarrhea?
- Yeah so if you're having diarrhea,
that's a good time to talk about poop.
So when kids come to see me, they have to talk about poop.
I ask them what their poop looks like,
how often they go, I ask all kinds of questions about poop.
- I can answer a few. - Oh, perfect.
- I normally poop not too often but I do poop.
- Mhmm.
- I just flush it. - Yeah, it's just gross!
- Oh no it's not gross! It's good to look at your poop.
You gotta check it out once in a while.
- It's actually really important
'cause it tells us if you're healthy or not.
- Mmkay.
- So I have a poop chart. - Oh.
- This is like kind of what your poop looks like
and it goes all the way from really hard to totally liquid.
- Mmhmm.
- What do you think your poop looks like?
- I don't know.
- How can you not know? - Well like, I know
but it's not like... this is weird.
- (laughs) yes it is.
- Because this video's gonna be shown to a lot of people.
- Uh-huh! I can tell you what my poop looks like.
- Okay. - Yeah yeah, so sometimes
it looks like number four.
When I don't drink enough water it looks like
number two or three.
So there you go. - Yeah, okay.
- How bad is number one?
- Number one's pretty bad.
It means that you're pretty dehydrated
and the poop is staying inside your body too long.
Have you ever had any poop problems?
- Mmm only one.
- What's that?
- My poop was so big that I had
to push to get it to come out.
- That happens sometimes, yeah.
Do you know what I want everybody's poop to look like?
Number four. - Mmhmm.
- That's what I want your poop to look like.
(laughs)
- I sometimes I poop like that.
- Yeah, yeah that's perfect poop.
You have perfect poop, congratulations.
(claps)
- So what questions do you guys have for me about poop?
- Uhhhhh - What makes poop brown?
Can it turn any different colors?
- Totally, it could totally turn different colors.
- Like if you eat too much green stuff you get green poop.
- That's exactly right it depends kind of on what you eat.
- Why is my poop lime green?
- Do you eat something lime green?
- Well, I do eat pickles. - Ahhh.
That could make your poop lime green.
- What is a fart?
- Fart is just air inside your intestine.
- But why does it smell bad?
- 'Cause it has to go all the way through
where your poop lives to come out.
How do you feel about me asking you all about your poop?
- It's not like I'm embarrassed 'cause everybody poops.
- Yeah. - But it's not something that
I just like talk about. - Yeah. Yeah.
- Should we be embarrassed about poop?
- Absolutely not.
Everybody poops and it's important for us to like look
at our poop and see what it looks like
to make sure that we're healthy.
- I'll look at it for a few minutes and
flush it. - No, a few seconds.
- It's up to you.
- I want to get out of this chair and walk away so bad.
(laughs)
- Okay. - Good job, Nolan!
- Bye! I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done.
