A Long-Awaited Recording — and a Grandmother's Passing

After a gap of several weeks, the hosts sat back down to record, but the mood turned unexpectedly somber from the first moments. One host revealed that his grandmother had passed away. She was 92 years old, comfortable with a smartphone, and had been a regular listener of their podcast. "I still haven't sorted out how I feel," he said. His co-host told him to take all the time he needed. Before her death, the grieving host had been making a point to visit her every two weeks or once a month so she could see his face as often as possible. He closed the tender topic with a warm note: "She's probably listening from up above right now."

A Severe Burn During the Second Full-Body Hair-Removal Session

The other host brought equally striking news. During his second zenshi datsu-mō (全身脱毛, full-body hair-removal) session, the technician treated his scrotum as they had done the first time — but the next day he discovered a burn. Four to five days after the procedure the affected area was still, in his words, "completely jet black." He said it looked "like I have an STD" and that the appearance was "absolutely not normal." The shock in his voice was clear throughout the conversation.

What Caused the Burn: A Gap Between the Machine and the Skin

Drawing on what he knows about laser hair removal, the host explained that the device must be pressed completely flush against the skin before firing the laser. "If the machine isn't making solid contact — if there's even a small gap — that can lead to a burn," he said. His theory is that the power setting was not the problem; rather, insufficient contact was the likely culprit. He acknowledged that burns in the scrotal area during full-body hair removal are not unheard of, but he was emphatic that with correct technique they simply should not happen.

Impact on Daily Life and How He Is Managing

Because a laser burn behaves the same way as an ordinary heat burn, any movement that stretches or tugs at the affected area causes immediate pain. The host said he feels intense pain when stretching and even during an erection — "It's like torture," he said. As a stopgap, he has been using a redness-reducing cream that the hair-removal clinic had previously prescribed. A quick online search confirmed that the cream can also be applied to burns, so he has kept using it. His grandmother's old advice came up — she always swore by aloe vera — but he noted it was probably too late to help four or five days in. He said he had arranged to see a doctor that very evening to get a proper assessment.

Whether to Continue: "It All Depends on How the Scrotum Heals"

His next appointment is booked two months out. "Part of me doesn't want to go through with it, but I've already paid," he said, capturing the awkward bind he finds himself in. He stopped short of cancelling, saying the decision would be entirely dependent on how fully the area recovers. He is hoping the doctor's visit will point him toward a better treatment, and he plans to reassess once he can see how the healing is going.
