In many ways, it's almost easier to detect. Very. They've been doing it for years. It can be more dramatic.

I mean, I think it exists on a spectrum. I think anyone who's probably spent time with kids using ASD as an example, boy, mild versions of it, the way it can be defined, because it really has three categories now in the DSM-5. I think the mildest version probably comes with more superpowers than limitations or maybe equal amount, but clearly the more severe it gets, it's pretty debilitating.

But that's what we're calling it disease, though. Yeah. But maybe it's not disease.

Yeah. But again, I would argue most of those people would be in category class one, not class three. Anyway, something to think about. What's the thaw success rate? So if a guy is 40, he goes ahead, he freezes and banks his sperm. Assuming they were good to go in, are they very high probability of thawing correctly?

Okay. So how much sperm would you tell a guy to bank If he has to do it, if it's the definitive samples for his life, so meaning he's 40 or he's about to undergo chemotherapy or some other exposure where he should just assume he will not have normal sperm again, what do you tell him?

So 10 ejaculates for three shots on goal for three kids, potentially. For three kids with low technology, but 10 ejaculates will give you most of China with IVF. Got it. Oh, when you say low technology, you mean IUI or something like that? Right.

Okay. Well, Paul, this has been a super interesting tour through the world of male fertility. I can honestly say I knew very little about this coming in. Some of this stuff I understood pretty well, the hormone stuff, but boy, a lot of this stuff I had no idea. So I will be studying my notes from this. We're going to link to a lot of this stuff you've created.

You've got a lot of great content out there. So we'll make sure people know where to find you. We have a podcast too. Tell me about that.

Okay. And what's it called? Talk with Turek on all channels. Got it. Okay. We'll make sure folks know that. You have a clinic that you run up and down the coast of California. So obviously, we'll make sure folks know how to find you there. But presumably, I think we've given folks a roadmap for their local urologist as well if they're getting the workup.

Basically, it sounds like if you're being worked up for fertility with your urologist and they're not going through the steps that we've described, maybe you should find somebody else.
