Men At Work Podcast - Can Severance Happen? A Neurologist Explains!

Episode Date: February 20, 2025

Can Severance actually happen? Neurologist Dr. Bruce Grossinger explains to us what he thinks could be the future of work. We also ask his thoughts on Neuralink, why he's pissed the Sixers lied about Joel Embiid, concussion progress in the NFL, the effects of extracurriculars on the brain, and more. About Us: The Men At Work Podcast asks one question: What do you do for work? After that the conversation flows from there. We’ve met substitute teachers, Bangladeshi t-shirt moguls, a real estate broker tight with LeBron James, and more. And we’ll record anywhere. Random sidewalks during an eclipse, a baseball game, a bar crawl, casino, and more. We like to find out what people do for a living.

I got a few of these out of there cheap. That was good. You got fake degrees out of China. I did actually. That's I don't want to brag. Yeah, please. Took three months to come in. Yeah, I know. There it goes. I've ordered a couple of hurts jerseys off. Yeah, yeah, that's true.

Like some of these are bootlegs. And when I when I walked into the Super Bowl with my fake jersey, they arrested me. Yeah, yeah. I've been a funny story. We got arrested the Masters, but that's. Go ahead. Why'd you get arrested? I'll tell you a funny story. Yeah. It's actually a funny story. We got arrested at the Masters, but that's- Go ahead, why'd you get arrested at the Masters? I'll tell you a funny story. We bought our tickets from a very shady outfit called StubHub.

Yes. And so we went in there. Did you go to the- So I went to the Masters too. Did you go to the house in the neighborhood to go get your tickets from it? I did, exactly. Me too.

So this is what happened. So my son who's not here, we call him Silent Bob. So he's only on camera on rare occasions So basically we went in we got our tickets from stub hub paid a fortune for him and when he went in there Apparently his badge had been used a few times before So they literally shook him down. Yeah, so he went in there. They strip searched them They put him in the equivalent of a Hamas tunnel. Which is, I could get away with a joke like that.

So I walked in with my badge and I got through and I saw him like bound and gagged and I saw him like in a small area. And I was, you know, being a good dad, I was just going to walk in and ignore him and just enjoy the show. But I went in there, then they interrogated me. They put me under a hot light. Where did you get it? You know, and I, and I said like, stop up and they do say that louder. And I said, stop up. And they say, doctor, your life is, you know, it is over. Please. I'm too young to die. Jesus. So I really lost my mind. Basically, they took our badges.

I tried to pretend that I was, you know, I was from Marion. You know, I held my teacup a certain way, but they say, Joe, you're out. So they kicked us out. You know, all the race to jokes of all'm only going to make self-deprecating. That's what I'll say. I'm going to make all the self-deprecating jokes from Jewish jokes. So yes, they knew I wasn't, you know, they knew I didn't come off the Mayflower. They had a feeling I wasn't a member of Augusta.

So then we basically crawled out with our tails between our legs and we went to a place in South Carolina and actually played golf. And the next day we went back to the StubHub place and they actually issued us badges for Sunday. And so it was great. But so our, we, you know, basically, but we did get interrogated by the master's committee.

And I started, I was like stuttering Bob. I was like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Were they in their green jackets? Yeah, they were in their green jackets. The lady who interrogated us, I must say, was very beautiful. Sure. So at the end, as we were kicking us out, my son said, by the way, ma'am, I hope you don't think I'm crossing the line. Would you marry me? Oh, nice. There you go. Lover boy over there. Yeah, we got to find a way to get in the master somehow. He said, just get out, you peasant.

Yeah, I would have got hard right there when I heard that. That's all it takes. You ever been in the master? Of course not. Not at all. It's awesome. So it was an interesting story, a master story. Did you ever get to go? I did. I actually went in 2017, I believe.

So I'm looking at Sonny Bob off camera. So actually went in 2017, I believe. So I'm looking at Bob off camera. So we went to actually we went to see one. Oh, it's 2019. Does the Tiger want it? The Tiger. I was at a year. We went to the to the last round where Tiger wanted. And it was great. OK. And then we decided we'd go back this year

and we decided we would scalp tickets at the street, you know, that was nearby where you could always buy them. But that day, of course, there were no tickets to be had. And I ended up going to StubHub. And that's a story that you heard about our, our tale of wall when we both got shaken down or badges got stolen. And all of that, it was, you know, it was an uneventful vacation. Allegedly uneventful. So it's a what?

Two, three day thing. You're over there. This one four day event. Well, for the event, we were trying to go for Friday night into Saturday and then Saturday, we basically spent most of our day trying to procure tickets. Then when we got there around noon, we both got because his badge wasn't real, it was fake, we got detained and extracted in basically whatever word, we got eviscerated, disemboweled, whatever other good medical words.

Good medical words. They did some unauthorized craniotomy on us and we crawled out like peasants. But other than that, we didn't lose our dignity at all. That's what's very good. Very important. So we're here with Dr. B. He's a neurologist. Dr. B, man. If you couldn't tell, obviously, in the first five minutes that we're doing stuff with him. He's a huge sports fan. Iverson jerseys, Malone, Cheeks, LeBron, Jalen Hurts. Are these people you've worked on? Are these? Yeah. Without violating HIPAA, I've worked on many of the people here. I treat a lot of the

I've worked on many of the people here. I treat a lot of the retired Eagles that come up. And we also do, I do a show, so I love media. So I do the Eagles post-game injury report for all you Eagles fans out there. Oh, appreciate it. So I work with Mark Farzad and Derek Gai and Seth Joyner, and I either work in studio at Parks Casino or I zoom in from our home studio. Pretty boring year for you this year. Not many injuries. Brendan Graham was probably the major one, right? I saw that like... Yeah, Brendan Graham was bad. Nicoby Dean. Yeah. He tore his... He had a patellar tendon, a complete tear.

Kind of like the Charles Barkley injury, but we were pretty good on injuries. You know, everybody seemed to come back. So... He was 21 of 22 or starters from week one, we're in the service. I was kind of like the main tag repairman, like, thank you, dude. Out there as I do a little song and dance like hummada hummada hummada hummada hummada. So you get a ring?

Uh, I wish I did. Probably a fake ring also from China. We love, we love our Chinese specials. Some of these jerseys, DH grade specials. I love that. With these fake, uh, these fake autographs, I love that. Yeah, with these fake autographs, which are always great. I love that. Why do doctors always have, like sports doctors, like sports orthopedic surgeons always have

their clients' jerseys in there? Is it a flex or is it because you're like, all right, maybe I won't charge you as much. Just give me a little signed jersey for the kid. I usually try to charge them double because I try to get some street cred when they see AI or they might see dog. There is a Johnny Manziel that once was popular, but now not so much. We have a Joe

Namath. Okay. And he's, you know, some deflated footballs and a paid bandit. What did Joe, what did Joe Namath need? Like a broken dick or something? He had, he had a problem, you know, with alcoholism on camera Oh good, but I wasn't able to help a bunch but uh, we still love him. You know, it's still Still his beat the sd. He like you say he's crap, but he's our crap. He's that's beautiful What a nice way to put it. I do like that Yeah, that's Peyton Manning. So he said that foot that that help it for us. Yeah

Yeah He started that foot that that help it for us. Yeah. So come and rob us. Yeah, exactly. We're kind of just showing your treasure trove of things that people would obviously want like that. If you try to steal this stuff, we'll use some sublethal electric tracks. But all of that, we won't threaten you. So is King James sat in this seat and farted in the seat that I'm sitting in right now? Yeah. Hello, Kyle. What are you doing? Nothing. Sitting here watching the game, smoking some thrive.

Are you alone? Who's that? Yo, pick up the phone. Yo, Keto. Pick up the phone. Yo. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? Yo, Keto, pick up the phone! Yo. What's up? What's up? What's up?

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up?

What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? What's up? true. He might have, but you know, it's interesting. We actually got to interview him when he returned from the Olympics. We were actually in New York City and he submitted for an interview

with my son and myself and he also signed to Jersey for us. And yeah, so he was actually very nice to us. So that was a good story. Yeah, that's wonderful. That's, that's really nice. I mean, do you meet like, uh, do you meet some athletes that are non football players that you wonder if they have brain damage or like, what are those conversations like? Well, we treat people like we treat a lot of union people like fall out of scaffolds and have head injuries. They're just born with brain injury. I've heard them calling WIP before. I know they've got TBS hereditary Yeah. So definitely. So yeah, we treat all kinds of people.

And so wannabe athletes like Kyle, he just looks, you know, all American guy, you know, yeah, me too. He's an extra in American pie. Now do Matt. He looks like he's an, he's a he's not Stiffler, but he's a I like that better actually. Get him a microphone. You are um, who's Frankie or who's the guy that American pie American pie The is Tara Reed my girlfriend Or am I Jason Schwartzman the one who fucks the pie.

No, you're the guy that, uh, it's a Finch actually. I'm Finch. That's not good. I don't like that. Let's go back. Let's go back to Dr. B. No Levenstein. That's why I was fucking with you, man. But, uh, no, you're, you're probably honestly the lacrosse guy scores the goal. Yeah. I like this. I like that when it gets down to breast tax. Yeah. Yeah. I'll keep it a bean. Yeah. So we share the bike here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jump in whenever you want. Um, special couple of days. Yeah. Get comfy. Come on camera. Yeah. So my wife, please. So how do I so neurology, can you do like a 15

second thing on like what neurology is? Are you like a brain surgeon? Are you more of like, second thing on like what neurology is? Are you like a brain surgeon? Are you more of like, like that's what I think of it. That's like a dumb guy. Well, we deal with neuroscience. So we do everything but open the skull. So I treat a lot of people that have concussions and headaches. I also have operating rooms here. So I also straddle between interventional spine care. So let's say somebody has a herniated disc in her neck and back. I might go to the operating room and use a needle and some stuff. Here I have my tasteless marketing. So this is PRP and Stem Cell Institute. So part of what I do is I do stem cell or PRP where I

basically take cells from your own body and I inject it back into your joints or spine. basically take cells from your own body and I eject it back into your joints or spine. To give you an analogy, Bryce Harper had a partial tear of his ulnar nerve. I didn't do the surgery, but somebody put PRP in. You remember Abid last year had a partially torn knee and he had PRP. Yeah, what the fuck? Unfortunately, he went to the Olympics. He should not have done that. No. And so he didn't get better and now he's

out, you know, so that was ill-advised in my opinion. Really? So you think that it really was the Olympics that kind of like hindered that recovery process or from your opinion? It didn't help him at all. And I think that he should have, in my view, rehabbed it and tried to give everything so he could come back instead of continuing to be hurt and then just missing weeks as a season ticket holder. I think that I've been a season ticket holder since Allen Iverson and this is my last year. So I'm just maybe the fact I can't resell my lower level seats there like whatever their face value is, you know, over $100. I can't sell it for $4 on stuff. So I think I think Hinky and Josh Harris, I think they finally they lost me as a season ticket holder. Yeah, it's funny because on the way here,

I got offered floor seats and I was like, no, I'd rather go record a podcast with Dr. B. Wow. But you know what? It's actually Delaware 67ers tickets and they're just playing in the Wells Fargo center. Cause that's who you see. I mean, if you want to see Paul George, he's going to be wearing a fancy jacket. Yeah. You might as well do an island in Italy. Well, then Paul, when Paul does play, he does do a nice impression of the blue coats, the Delaware blue coats when he's out there. It's pretty broad to watch.

It's eight points a game and make it $60 million. But, but listen, he finessed, he's a game and make it $60 million. But listen, he finessed. He's a good businessman. No, the Sixers are a frustrating team, that's for sure. I wonder from a medical perspective. They talked about the fact that his knee issue is a chronic thing because of the minisectomy where they're removing parts of it. Is that something that you have an idea about? Or they talk about they can add parts or remove parts. Like what does that look like? I definitely do medical orthopedics. So my fear is the sixers, I mean part of it's HIPAA. We know he's had meniscal tears and he's had inflammatory changes and he's a very big guy.

And he's put a lot of wear and tear with his size and we don't really get a straight answer from the Sixers and that's kind of the frustrating part even being a fan or a season ticket holder. So we you know he's literally came out and said I'm going to need a major surgery after the year but then the Sixers will come back and say no he really doesn't he's day to day. So the Sixers organization will literally lie to your face. And I'm resentful of that. They're not transparent at all. I mean, what Brandon Graham heard himself, you knew he was out. What they try to do is if you remember Andrew Bynum, we'll go back. They sold season tickets based on Andrew Bynum. I was at the Constitution Center when they announced them. Remember they had that whole big thing? They knew, and I'm not gonna mention the name of a doctor,

he's a good friend. The doctors knew he would never play games, show up, and they knew. So when somebody lies to me, there's nothing worse than a liar and a thief. So I believe the Sixers are both liars and thieves. They also raise ticket prices every year, regardless of it. So yeah, so I've been in a Proud Seat ticket holder.

It reminds me a little bit about maybe 25 years ago. I used to be, I played hockey for 30 years and that was my game. And about, I don't know, 20 years ago, the flowers kind of lost me. I just felt like I just don't want to have their season tickets and I'll buy game the game. And obviously the last game that my son and I attended was game six when in the finals when the Blackhawks beat us. I still haven't seen the goal. And they've just been a terrible team. And I don't regret not paying for season tickets. So I've kind of got that point where if I really want to go to a sixers game,

I'll buy the I will go through stuff, Hobb and hopefully not get arrested, shaken down by the Augusta committee. You'll be able to walk in. They got Hamas tunnels underneath the West Park. They're still there. I'll never forget, during COVID, I remember it was me and an attorney friend, and I pulled my mask down to drink a beer, and the security people almost evicted me, even though I had my own box.

That wasn't really fun. The COVID wasn't fun at all. I wasn't a big fan of masks, even being a doctor. But yeah, so the signatures have lost me as a season ticket holder. Sure, I mean, while we brought it up, professional medical strictly opinion, what do you think COVID was all about?

Do you have any kind of lasting thoughts about now that we're five years removed that you're comfortable talking about or what you think that looked like? No, I'm comfortable talking about it. I won't give you a huge answer, but I would say when COVID first came out, I don't think anybody knew.

They thought it would be a lethal disease. And a lot of people who were obese and very old died with or without. You just pointed me. Kyle, you looked at me. You just pointed me. It looks like shit, man. I think you never played it for us.

People like Kyle. So I think a lot of people, it's, I mean, it's not a laughing matter. A lot of people died. Yes, sir. So I had a lady here who was older and obese. So it was a real disease. But I think it came to a point where. And of course, I've got vaccinated because I had to.

So I just think came to a point where the science was drug science. So Anthony Fauci like made up rules. The six foot rule was no basis in science. They're still trying to get people vaccinated and Pfizer and I think it's a money grab for Pfizer and Moderna. So right now, I, you know, I can look back in retrospect, but I think I had a lot of respect for the disease. Once we learned what the disease was, I, you know, I was a guy that I just, I, you know, I thought of myself as they say only critical services. So after about a week, you know, we did mask, we did all that, but we felt a duty to, you know, a lot of people just stayed down and they lost their businesses. So it was bad. So I think it was a real disease. But in the words of Roger Daltrey, I won't get fooled again.

He saw our face in here. We were hosting super spreader events actually. We were hosting big, big parties. Big golf. Like we were in Minnesota and we were doing a lot of BLM riots and it was amazing. Thanks man, that was fun to watch. Nobody cared. Like we pulled our masks down. But yeah, when I went to the Wells Fargo Center, they wouldn't let me sit in my seat with my mask. They wouldn't let me drink a beer. So a lot of paradoxical things. Sure.

Absolutely. I have nothing more to say. See, it's hard to follow that, brother. He sets me up with grenades all the time. I think it was just like a lot of people, like you said, it's funny that like you were discovering it as we were discovering it. I feel like that shouldn't happen, especially in the medical community. And then like all the rules and everything, people are kind of like, well, I feel like my rights are being taken or I feel like if I have a small business and I can't help my small business and live, I think that was like the bullshit that people were kind of

like, yeah, I mean the disease, we can see it and people are dying from it and stuff. But like, but there's a lot of terrible things that happen. So I could see the abuses. I could see certain states where they didn't let anybody open up. This state's kind of a purple state. And I didn't, you know, and I was able to literally have everybody, it'd be boring to go over, but we tried to straddle the fence of complying with whatever the state required, but still not to straddle the fence of complying with whatever the state required, but still not compromising people who really were hurt, were in pain. And a lot of people's businesses got destroyed by COVID and are resentful for Fauci and for, frankly, the fact that China, it came from the lab, and in my view, it did not talk about

politics, because China spread this disease in certain people and NIH were complicit. I think they should, like a trillion, whatever our budget is, wherever we owe them, they should forgive it. So from one regime to another regime, Musk, what is your thoughts on the Neuralink? I don't pretend to be, I think it sounds wonderful. I'm not a neurosurgeon, I'm a neurologist. So people who open up spines, but the Neuralink, if they can actually have an implantable device that could let people's limbs work,

I think it's truly incredible. And I'm a big fan of the Lod Mosque. And I'll go on record saying he's one of the smartest people out there. He also came to Ridley High School right here. He did. Vito went nuts. And we were there. And he literally the fact is he everybody for Ridley right here at our Delco

tent, I grew up in Delco. Vito sent me 17 videos. So the fact that he literally took everybody. It was all Vito's shirtless. The musk is he literally took all the questions. And, you know, I just I have a lot of respect for him. Is there any kind of worry about the fact that, like, if he puts an implantable He literally took all the questions. I have a lot of respect for him. Is there any kind of worry about the fact that if he puts an implantable that can connect to your nervous system, and again, forgive me for sounding like an idiot, but is there

any worry that he's connected to brain patterns and waves that can be conducive to... Kind of like he can shut you off at any moment that he wanted to. Yeah, that's what I would say. If somebody's paralyzed, it's a salvage operation. Like, if somebody's literally paralyzed, like Christopher Reeves or somebody's paraplegic, they're willing to do more experimental things. There's informed consent. And I think if somebody's already paralyzed, you know, I think they'd be willing to take a chance. So I don't know, I don't protect. One thing for the people, the audience, if I don't know something, if somebody asks me a question, it takes a wise person to say,

I don't know. So I'm not an expert. This is the internet. Everyone's an expert. We need you to be an expert. But I don't mind saying, you want me to know what I'm talking about. We need you to go on record and be like, I know everything. I'm okay with Elon Musk turning me on to start the day. When I'm going to sleep, I'm all right with him. Just put a battery and let Elon control me. I'm totally cool with it. You know?

I mean, if you know a ride or die Elon Musk guy. Yeah. You got to think like, obviously, as you mentioned about the properties that could be for people that are paralyzed. But I would be interested in people that maybe have drug addiction or something like that. Could you implant a neurolink there? then you know kind of weigh them off? For people with seizures there are implantable devices that stimulate the thalvis, the labic stimulators.

So there's stuff like that that's already implanted. So there's people with let's say crippling Parkinson's disease and I'm not not in our search, they can implant certain devices within the thalamus and basal ganglia, parts of the brain, where they can literally stop people from having tremors or they can help people with Parkinson's disease. There are people with seizures, a different disorder, epilepsy. With crippling epilepsy, they can put, they can do implantations using a grid. This is not what I do, but if I had somebody with intractable seizures, even here at UCLA, a guy like Michael Sperling, who was in Pennsylvania.

So there's some amazing stuff that actually is happening right now that's FDA approved, such as people with crippling Parkinson's disease and people with seizures. So there's stuff going on like that. So implantable devices, that in itself isn't new, but the idea of using a neurolink to basically bridge or bypass an injured spinal cord and bridge that

so the brain can create impulses to go downstream to the muscles, that's something that is remarkably exciting. Sure. Would you hire an offensive coordinator for the Eagles with an Erling? That's a great question. Thank you. I would hire someone Erling. Let me think about that.

Well, here's the deal. If offensive coordinator, I would hire somebody who's really, really old, like a Vic Fangio. Nobody would hire with a terrible personality. It is true because all he wants to do is watch the Phillies, put his dick in his mouth and just coach ball. Yeah. I just don't want anybody who's going to get rehired. All he wants to do is watch the Phillies, put his in his mouth and just, and just coach ball. Yeah. I just don't want anybody who's going to get rehired. So I want somebody who's like, you know, who's the guy, the really young guy talks about

it. Who is he? Well, the guy, you're not narrowing it down. Well, Grant, Grant Udinski, the coach of the Jaguars. Who the hell is Grant Udinski? Grant Udinski is, he slept in a Walmart parking lot. He had the job for Matt Ruhl back at Baylor in 2019. And he's like a wonder kid in the NFL.

He's like 27, 28 years old. And he's the OC right now in Jacksonville. He was up there. He was with Baker last year, right? He was actually, Liam Cohen, right? You remember the Duval? Yeah, yeah, that was weird. You saw that at the press conference, but you didn't. He was with Minnesota, with the Minnesota Vikings and he helped Sam Darnold out.

And he is just like kind of the next like wonder like kind of he's like the next Sean McVeigh. Basically, he slept in a, so the homeless guy is getting hired to run. It was a Black Friday. Black Friday, well, I mean, I've slept a lot. He was paying off student loans, but yeah, I would probably sleep out. We talk for a job in the NFL. We talk in like four door sedan, we talk in like two door truck, maybe a Winnebago,

do you remember? Perhaps a Vespa. I'm thinking trunk of a four door sedan would probably. Trunk of a four door sedan. Trunk of a four door sedan. It would be the best way. Get a front seat, man. Two years, seriously. You're being too method acting.

How do you look like you're not up to malfeasance when you're sleeping, like waking up in a Panera parking lot? Yeah, I'll explain it to you. You do. You look exactly like you're up to malfeasance. That's how bad Doug Peterson left it in Jacksonville. They're hiring homeless guys now. It is tough to be labeled as somebody who's completely above board if you're up to now. That's how bad Doug Peterson left it in Jacksonville. They're hiring homeless guys now. It is tough to be labeled as somebody who's completely above

board if you're in that situation. So I don't think you ever answered Dr. B. So I'm going to answer. So my feeling is that Eagles sees ticket holder for a really long time. I don't want any more. I want to hire somebody who's exceptionally old. Nobody would ever hire as a head coach like Vic Fancher or someone with a terrible personality, or somebody so young like Gudinski, who's like 25. Cause I just think I'm tired of them draining our coaches. And we love Cal and Morty, had a good year. Sure. But again, I don't want to promote somebody

from within like a Brian Johnson. Kevin Patola got promoted today, it kinda sucks. Is he the new OC? Yeah. So has he ever, so- Never Call Plays. Yeah, so I'm not happy with that hat. Been there since 2021. Is he the new OC? Yeah. So he has he ever so never called place? Yes. And they've been there since 2021. So so I feel like we might be going to a regressive period. You might be going to a dark age because if you never called plays,

look at Brian Johnson, he grew up with with Jalen Hurts. Yeah. And he was he was a miserable failure. I think Nick Triant is a great coach. But but when he calls plays, there's a failure. So now you see the guy before three weeks ago or? No, I would say during the Cleveland period, which was the dark age of this year, I was definitely out on Sirianni when he was basically flipping off the fans and bringing all of his kids in and they were two and two.

I have to admit, I was down on him and I've made a reversal. I've done a Mia Culpo. He might have shaved his head and put a Neuralink in, honestly. He might have been severed. We gotta check the scars. I totally respect being anti-hot coach. I feel the exact same way. If the coach is too attractive, I start to wonder, your head's in the wrong game. You're not thinking about the right stuff. Nick Sariano, Super Bowl champion. Sean McVeigh, Super Bowl champion. Vic Vangio, one of the 11 ugliest guys of all time. Great coach. You need a coach who's not quite a looker because he's thinking about the wrong things, at least in my opinion. Like he's old enough.

He's around my age. So if you, but again, I'm hoping that Petullo, you know, you know, I'm hoping that Nick Ciriotti has learned how to call plays. And as a backup, the two of them will be calling plays and perhaps Ciriotti hired a guy who he knew did call plays so he could elevate himself much like Howie Roseman just refuses to hire coaches that have NFL play experience. And I was very down on him. And I've intermittently been down on Roseman and Lurie thinking they're meddling, but I can't really, I do a mea culpa for that as well. You know, Roseman as far as selecting

people and running the cap, there's nobody better. But I do like coaches that have had NFL experience like Deuce Stanley. Like I think Deuce also hasn't called plays, but would I rather have Deuce and Kevin Petullo? I'd say yes. Yeah, sure. So keeping it on the NFL conversation, concussions.

They're saying they're down. You see some players using guardian caps and everything. What's your kind of take on concussions? Do you think like the helmet technology is getting a little better or you think like, I mean, go back to the Jalen Hurts game, the first commander's game when they played on Thursday night football, that guy was concussed. That guy definitely beat the independent investigator. And then obviously he gets a concussion later on and stuff. So what's your kind of read on the NFL getting with concussions? Are they, you think they're doing enough to kind of temper them?

It's a really long conversation. So I would say, just to summarize a very long multi-hour conversation, I would say that the fact that they've acknowledged concussions, largely due to people like Chris, can't really talk, it's late, Chris Nowitzki, Chris, I can't really talk, it's late. Chris Nowitzki. Chris Nowitzki and Ed McGee, the Boston U, the fact that they found that CT is real and they had the billion dollar settlement, there is at least a recognition that cumulative trauma does cause concussions. Is there any way to make NFL footballer, you know, totally safe? I don't believe so. The helmets help.

But in a guy like Romeo Dobbs, you know, who, of course, one of our favorite players from the Vod and Carson Strong, who's a Packers player, still with that huge helmet, still got concussed, if you recall, was knocked out of the Eagles game. So there's no fail safe to it. And I believe that by limiting the amount of hits in practice, I think that's a good thing. By recognizing concussions, by having a protocol. No, I think the NFL has done a lot and I think they've made, they've been acknowledging that concussions exist and are related, have helped in the fact that they're paying some people with CTE and Parkinson's disease

and ALS and people have died from that. I think that's a good thing. But I don't think it's a riskless thing. I'm a nice hockey player. I played like 25 years. There's my old helmet. Nice. I remember talking to Chris Pronger at a conference, I don't know how many years ago, maybe eight, nine years ago.

And Chris is really, he's about your size, maybe a little taller even. And we were doing like a round table, and Chris went to me and he said, you know, Bruce, you know how to avoid concussions, keep your head up. Right. And he kind of said it a condescending way. And a year later, he was knocked out permanently with a concussion.

So I'm not saying I wish that on him. But I always say, if the foo shits, wear it, please. You do always say that. You kind of won that one. Chris Frower could even be in a room with lights on for like a year. I don't wish bad on anybody, but I wish truth. You wish truth. You wish truth on people.

He started it. But if he kept his head up or something, it was 6 foot 7 and up 5' 9". I have a kind of a grander question about it from a moral perspective. So you have a good understanding about the risks that are assumed when you play football, when you play hockey. You're saying it's not a riskless sport, it's something that you know that's going to happen at some point while you're playing. Is there any part of you that thinks from a moral perspective, we should just not do

this? Does the risk outweigh the benefit in terms of like- What are you gonna do on Sundays? Well, but then you say that- Well, the libertarian part of me, which is a large part of me, I think people in life, in America especially, they, if they're given,

they should have a right to consent to the risk. And as a parent, my son who's sitting right next to me, he went to a friend's school where he had to play coed flag football. Really? Let's go, dude. He was an exceptional flag football player. But what position? He wanted to play tackle football. Quarterback.

Waterboy, yeah. 8-0 in eighth grade year. Not to brag. He's making me seem like awesome. Did you play intramurals? In college? Yeah, I played intramurals. Hell yeah. Right there with your brother? Girls are lining up right now.

Yes, yeah. They're outside with him the second year. What I believe is if somebody is a parent will allow their kids to play, and if somebody is an adult, a consenting adult, they know the risks. As a doctor, I think to totally close it down and not allow them to play, I think is heavy-handed, much like closing people down in COVID.

So I think that parents have a right, when their kids are minors, to preclude them from playing or even to play soccer, you know, where we see a lot of girls soccer players who have a lot of concussions from heading the soccer ball. So a lot of sports that involve concussions that you might not even recognize. Why doesn't that argument ever hold enough weight? Because my buddies who played football and I played soccer and I was like, you know what, actually there's more concussions in soccer than there are football and they still call me a pussy.

Because they still thought you were a peopler. Because he kept wearing the shorts at school. That's why. That was a total head choice. That was bullshit. I don't want YouTube to censor me. When I found that stat out, when I found that stat out, how did I use that a lot? I mean, I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. I was a total head choice. That was bullshit. I don't want YouTube to censor me. When I found that stat out, how hard did I use that a lot?

Did anyone give a shit? Absolutely not. I should have known you knew that stat. Absolutely not. I thought you learned it in real time. It's bullshit. It's bullshit. Why?

You want to take away football? You want to take away football? You want me and Dr. B to find different things to do? You want to ruin our jobs? All I want is just somebody to tell you right beforehand, be like, hey, almost certainly you're going to get a life altering injury. Yeah, so do. Love of the game. Okay. Did you're going to get a life altering injury. Yes, I do love the game. OK, that's all.

Did you not just see the parade go down Broad Street? Yeah, somebody warned them. Yeah, truly. He fell off the grease pole, you know. Yeah, it's bad. You know, they assume the risk. No, it's terrible. I mean, we're not going to make light of that.

Sure. Yeah, that's awful. I mean, that's that's, you know, an alcohol informed decision. That's not really his, you know, either. We'll get off. It's too sad. Not not. No, we're not going to go into a roast part. Yeah. We have a boring and sad. That's what we do here on this podcast. Kyle talked about soccer for one second.

I was like, what about sad stuff, guys? A lot of these football players, though, I mean, if it weren't for the game of football, I mean, their lives are really improved by playing the game of football. So it's true for about 15 years. That's my argument is like your life is great, which I understand. What are you talking about? You take the money you make from football and you put it in the bank and compound interest. And that's what all I know about compound interest is. Then you said people for generations. There's another guy who has an interest in compounding your head into its neck. That's what the issue is. That's well, you know, I'm being,

I'm being a little light feather here, not get rid of it. I just have questions. That's what the issue is. That's well, you know, I'm being, I'm being a light feather. Not get rid of it. I just have questions. That's all I have. I have questions about, well, but still these guys after football can get jobs and other opportunities and then you can get a job, but then you got to do the job. They can stop it. They could stop at any time. And then if it weren't for football, I mean, it keeps people on the straight and narrow a lot, a lot of people. You think Tony, hear's gonna contest? He's having the time of his life on CBS. True, true.

There's good and bad. Tom Brady? Tom Brady's a great announcer. We wouldn't have Johnny football. We wouldn't have Johnny football. We wouldn't have Johnny football. Well, these, we wouldn't have Johnny football.

I think that's where the argument ends. I think Johnny football. We wouldn't have Johnny football. Yeah. No. Perhaps. I'm on your guys side. I don't think you are.

I don't think you are. He's a basketball guy, so. I am a basketball guy. He's a mole. No, not me. I have great questions that I just won't get answers to about the safety of you guys. Do you watch Severance? I don't. You know what? I think I saw one of them. Remind me again what the answer is.

I watched one of them. This guy just burned through two seasons. I didn't think you severance. This was, oh, if I remember this with severance was it was where you separated your your work life from your personal life and you had a surgery, had a neurosurgery. And I saw, I saw two of the episodes. I personally liked it. My wife didn't really like it was too much sci-fi for her. So she went back to watching Bravo and I kind of dropped it. But I heard it was good and one of my favorite guys, Ben Shapiro, fellow Jew, also told me the Severance was great. But I haven't got to the second season. Before we get into Severance, what's your guilty pleasure on Bravo?

Everyone's got one. None of them. I would say maybe like Southern Charms, like maybe some of the girls on Southern Charms. Southern Charms is great. Summer House is great. They're really fun. And I think the goofy guys, like they would definitely be in an American Pie movie. So I think it's kind of fun as Bravo goes. I'm trying to think of them. How about the Real Housewives? You're a Real Housewives guy? I'm totally not. I might say as far as chick flicks that I'm trying to think of it as even anything else. How about the Real Housewives? You a Real Housewives guy? I'm totally not. Just catty pictures.

I might say as far as chick flicks that I do just to watch with my wife. Got it. Like I'll watch some Bachelorette cause it's kind of silly. There's a thing called Marriage at First Sight or something. Oh yeah. Which I'm watching now cause it's so stupid.

90 Day Fiance. Like people get, they get married and then like if something's stupid, if it's called a pot boiler, like I like to do things about, like, I like to watch stupid stuff with my wife just cause we like to watch it. We got 72 degrees. You gotta take your mind off something.

But as far as the housewives, I can't handle the housewives, any of them. So that's when I go to this study and I watch whatever's on TV. I watch college basketball or I watch anybody, but there's certain, there's a certain amount of chick flickiness that I can't tolerate. And I guess the housewives will fall into that category. I do like something called Bravo, the real estate shows. I like that, like in Beverly Hills in New

York. Oh, you are Jewish. Yeah. Yeah, I am Jewish, that's right. All the shit I can't afford. Like, my God, who can afford that? So I like the real estate shows and watching stuff that I can't afford. I do enjoy that. He loves representation. That's great. Yeah. Back to Severance, a real man show. Yeah. Do you think everyone could? Yeah. I mean, you go. I just, I mean, is there any kind of plausibility to like altering the memory pattern of a person that you could actually sever the experience as a human being? Is there any thought about that? Cause I wonder about- Well, there's something called lobotomy. Like if we remember, as far as like destroying the emotions,

you know, one full of the kooka's nest. So they did, that was really real. That was in vogue. They did prefrontal lobotomies and temporal lobotomies. So that was really real. So they actually removed emotions from people and people who had mental retardation or people that have behavioral problems, they actually use that as a real thing. And so as far as destroying memory circuits, but as far as the idea of severance, where you could just turn on a memory or separate a brain so you can have a separate life, I think that's science fiction. Sure. It's interesting science fiction and I know it's a good show and I'm probably going to try to proceed beyond episode two. Yeah, if you're in the know, you gotta watch it. Yeah, I've got to watch it. But I have to admit, you know, there's certain shows like I never saw Breaking Bad and my son

here, he got me into watching it. He was able to watch it a second time. And yeah, so we, if something's really great, I'll go on the ride. And I heard Shepard's was good, but I've only been through two of them. So back to lobotomies. I thought they had like a 99% death rate. Were they actually like real? No, they were real. So people really, if you remember, yeah.

So people really were alive and they were just that they were vegetative. So they wouldn't kill them with the lobotomy, but they remove their temporal lobe and they'd be emotionless and they would remove. Yeah. So it was a terrible thing. Well, you would be an emotional vegetable. And again, I, I traded like the eighties, which is a long time ago. So it was, it was much after they were this, this was in vogue, like in the fifties and sixties. Sure. No one wants a vegetable with emotions. Not quite. No, no, no, no not quite no no no this is a sausage try to pick that try to yeah i'll think about give me a second i got something trying to find you were in that utilization is that a word yeah that's a word i just made you got 17 degrees you make up a word i'll say yes sir can i have another that's

a bit of a pickle. Damn. Not great. Wait, severance is like, so would you want to be severed? Would you want to be in? Well, I think the show, it seems like it explores more of, it explores less of the scientific aspect and more the fact that you are trapping some sort of being in a non-escapable place. That's the whole point of the show, is you know,

they live in the workplace and that's the only thing they know and they exist only in that kind of like. But they're depressed on the outside, and that's why a lot of the show is, you know, they people live in, they live in the workplace and that's the only thing they know. And they exist only in that kind of like, they're depressed on the outside. And that's why a lot of the people in the outside become on the inside. Yeah. I mean, just watching it. I mean, that's the thing people are about it. Like just watching the first two episodes, if somebody's life's really bad and they want to immerse themselves at work, I mean, obviously, you know, I would love my staff and they're very good staff, but if they could only be immersed 24 seven in this and they couldn't even

think of their personal life, they'd have no distractions. I'm sure that's the that's what's behind that. I'll tell you that. A lot more jerseys. To be able to be at play and to just totally be able to divorce yourself from the stresses of work or being a doctor and never being on call and never having to answer. So I mean, it's certainly a very interesting premise

for that show. Yeah, I've wondered kind of about like going back to like, at work I wear like AirPods a lot of the time. I'm hearing that there's some kind of signs coming out that a lot of these Bluetooth devices are having adverse effects or could have adverse effects in the longterm. Have you heard anything like that?

Is that any truth to that? Well, I think there's, I don't know. I mean, I haven't, I don't know that anything's provable about that because if it was with all the lawyers and I, and some of my best friends, just like we think that holding a cell phone up and in whatever way for everybody does it, if it really came out conclusively, that it caused like brain tumors and stuff. So there's a lot of rumors. I, so I would say there's probably nothing conclusive about the AirPods. There's always gonna be rumors, always gonna be conspiracy theories, but as I sit here today I don't think there's any truth. So 5G towers, you don't believe in the 5G towers

cooking my brain? Probably not. What about if I wash my spaghetti in the microwave just turn around and around and around? Yeah, like the microwave, you know, and all that. Is that dangerous? No, it sounds pretty real, you know. I do wash my cat, you know. I've washed some of my favorite cats in the microwave and I still don't know why. I have now. They're delicious.

Thank you for heating them up. Thank you very much. We live in Ohio. This guy over here. Dogs and cats. We're eating dogs and cats, I'll tell you. You can't believe it. I'll tell you, they're part of that gang in Mexico.

He's defending football and he's worried. He's like, can I look at my spoon in the microwave? I like to watch my food. I like to see my food cook. Yeah. I bet you do, dude. I bet you do. I bet you do. Can we talk about weed and alcohol? Whatever you want. Everything's on the table.

Great. And how good it is for your brain? Well, because Vita's addicted to weed. That's fine, that's fine. Well, I believe in medicinal marijuana. So a lot of people in Delaware, I'm able to get people certified who have paid. So there are a ton of people who are on narcotics and things like that who transitioned to, sorry, sorry to use that word.

No, but- It's Caitlyn Jenner. He can use whatever word you want. It's Caitlyn Jenner's account apparently. They're soaking so much weed, they're transitioning now. No, no, I just caught myself. I thought that was bad. I've been to high a couple of times,

I'm like, I think I might be a woman. Vito's not transitioning. Vito might be transitioning. He's transitioning. I'll tell you though, he's won a few Swim meets, but little less. I hear he applied to the University of Pennsylvania. Lee and Tom is just graduates. Hello folks. That was really nailed.

Family members at Penn and Trump's trying to take away women's swim titles, so we don't like that. That's true. We need more women's swim titles. We need dogs. We believe in medical marijuana. The good thing about docs is we don't have to really know anything about it. So if you allow people to basically open the door in a state like this, they, they go to a dispensary and they have experts who know stuff about that. And so I believe that anything in moderation is good. Everything in ex things that excess

can be bad. But so... How many beers? How many beers is bad? Well, that's... A week. I don't really have an answer. So again, I'm a libertarian, you know, assume your own risk. Come on, give me something.

It sounds like a guy is having a couple beers after this. Give me something. I got nothing. 15 beers a week, bad? I don't think I have an honest answer to that question. Six, five, two, 30 on a good day. Whatever you want. Listen, my roommate in college is a guy I can say I love him.

His name is Kevin Finn. We would go to a bar and we'd go to a bar and we'd go to a bar and we'd go to a bar and we'd go to a bar and we'd go to a bar and we'd go to a bar and we'd go to a bar and I don't think I have an honest answer to that question. Six-five, two, thirty on a good day. Listen, my roommate in college, a guy I can say I love him, his name is Kevin Finn, we would go to Jones Beach, he would literally drink a case of beer, he had no ill effects, he's a wonderful lawyer in Long Island, and I would be drinking like a can and a half. So I think everybody's different. People have different tolerances. That's what I would say. Okay, so fifteen's okay. Fifteen, you become a lawyer, 12 you become a neurologist.

I'll look in the mirror and say Dr. Bruce told you. Next time my girlfriend gives me shit on me. And then if you're wife or whatever, when you're like in a ditch or something, just say Dr. Bruce. Exactly. And finally we on the cops are like, what'd you do? I said Dr. B said it was all right. I'll tell you a funny story. I'll tell you a Hollis Thomas story. And I don't think you would mind. I love Hollis Thomas. So I don't think Hollis would mind me telling this story. So I got a call from Hollis and he called me up and he said, I got an emergency. I got an emergency. He came in here and he goes, he goes, doc, they're trying to evict me from my apartment. He goes, I'm smoking weed 24 seven. So he came in, I wrote a note.

Mr. Thomas has a neurological condition which requires him to smoke marijuana 24 7. And I literally wrote that for his HOA and he was able to not get evicted. Yeah. So I don't think he'd mind me saying I love that. Oh, my God. It's got a true story. That is a true story. Guys got an HOA and an HOE on his ass the entire time. Dude's a fucking super run her up. He made a smoke all the way once. You know what? Hollis told a story. So we went to a sushi place and Hollis said,

dear Fred. So basically we told him Hollis is coming. I showed a picture of Hollis. This lady basically cooked for hours. It cooked like a whole room full of sushi and Hollis. This lady basically cooked for hours, like a whole room full of sushi. And Hollis said, I don't like sushi, I want chicken. So she like, it was the end of the night, so she probably had to throw out the sushi. That's a true Hollis Thomas story. And Hollis is a wonderful guy and he loves comedy. We'll have to bring him on the show sometime. He's really a funny. Give us a Hollis story. house has house ever showed you a search history His who his search history? Uh, we know we can cut this if we have to but I I had a buddy that worked for

97.5 and I think house is on the thing and he's like that guy loves porn more than anyone in this world He would just be at work. Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Just watch more to jeffrey tubin So give us a tell us a good house story tub too. Well, the thing about Hollis Hollis, he he always like has the towel with him. You know, like John Thompson of Georgetown, like how some some coaches and people have towels. So even when he's eating or it could be like even outside, it could be 35 degrees out and he'll still be he'll still be sweating profusely. Yeah, he's a big boy. He's still sweating, yes. And that's what I got about Hollis Thomas. I love that.

That's great. I'm not gonna lie to you the entire time. Hollis is a great guy. He's just a comedic, he's a comedic person. I really thought the entire time we were talking about Hollis Thompson, a former 76er during the process era. It's always sixers on the brain with this guy.

There's also Hollis, there's also Hollister. A passionate doctor. Let me do, you know, Hollis Thomas. I'll try to do an impression of him. So please be so careful. Please be so careful. Do it all. We can always cut it. No, we won't. Dr. B. So I was in Missouri and I was growing up in Bruce. How are you? How are you Bruce? Let me think about Hollis Okay Spence man, I grew up in Missouri and I played for the I played for the New Orleans Saints And I was I was a really good defensive tackle. That's not the worst house. I've ever heard of my life

It's not the the pregnant Paul's is a really good defensive tackle. That's not the worst hollis I've ever heard in my life. It's not the pregnant pauses are really good, the little stutter, yeah. This deep raspy voice? Yes. Yeah. Don't think of it some other way. I'll give you an Austin Powers.

Don't think of it, yeah. I'm a medical assistant, not a comedian. Yeah, don't worry about it. You're not an impressionist. Should I give him an Austin Powers? I'll give you a Kirk Austin Powers, please. That's not my mother, that's a man, baby. Chris, we're walking as Austin Powers.

I like it. I like it. Austin Powers, nine. Yeah, that's good. Who's the number one Jew in Dr. B's life? I'd say Larry David. You know, I saw, I actually went to a bar and it was cool.

I saw Larry David. I'll tell you a good, a true Larry David story. And I don't know him at all. I was in the, I was in the Breakers and this is about five years ago. Larry breakers, one of the, I mean, Larry breaker, that is somebody he's one of the most affluent guys there. And he, I saw him ordered stone crabs and, and the way I wasn't talking about who was just there. And they said, your bill will be $60. Larry David literally, without having a microphone, he literally said, where do you think I'm gonna come up

with that kind of money? So that's my one, like my forest gulp moment with Larry David. I always wondered, like, most of the best comedians are Jewish guys. Is there something in growing up Jewish that instills, well, I'm saying, why are Jewish people the funniest people on the planet?

What do you think there is about growing up Jewish that kindills, well, I'm saying, why are Jewish people the funniest people on the planet? What do you think there is about growing up Jewish that kind of instills that? I would say the fact that the family is like, if you look, the Jewish family, Italian family, Irish family, the ethnic families are really fun. So there's a lot of, there's a Petri dish of stereotypical stuff, so I'd say that's true. Also, persecution complex.

I just say, you know, or having to pull yourself up, you know, big immigrants and having to basically come here with nothing. And I don't know. I guess there's, you know, I think there are a lot of funny Jews. I'd say disproportionately, there's a ton of funny non-Jews, but we can look at a ton of Jews who are very funny. They are. Larry David, Seinfeld. They Jewish people are the funniest people. Not because their dads are all executives and all that. I think Sarah Silverman is really funny.

And sometimes they are analytical. And Woody Allen is like, I grew up watching Woody Allen movies who's just really self deprecating big Woody Allen fans. So I'd say there's something about the ethnicity that that led itself to comedy. Yeah, got it. That makes sense. I've always thought that the same. It's kind of a similar thing of like, I always think people that live in the Northeast are funnier because they know how to deal with adversity

and the way to get through it is to kind of make fun of it. You know, it sucks when it's freezing out. It sucks when it's 10 degrees out. The only way you kind of push through is, all right, we'll make fun of it. We'll joke around about it. So I can understand historically, there's a lot of kind of things that have been dealt with. There's a lot of funny people here like Sebastian Madis Falco. Yeah, sure. Like he's great. And I think there's a lot of really extroverted, if you look at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami, Washington, Miami even, or even you go to Cal...

I think that some of the really laid back people who we love in the mid portion of the country are not necessarily extroverted and not necessarily willing to put themselves out in a comedic fashion, I would say. Sure, yeah, definitely. What's birthright? So the Midwest is really boring, basically.

And then there's no funnier, talented people other than the coast. That's one funny. I just transcribed what he said. Of course, I'm more of a Midwest guy myself. Sure. What's birthright? He loves what birthright is that this is pretty interesting. So going back years ago, there's a bunch of very affluent Jews who basically said that if a Jewish person,

typically is teenage years or early 20s, wants to visit Israel, which is the homeland, it will be completely paid for the whole trip and the whole tour. And so that still holds true. And obviously it was suspected during COVID. You can still convert if you'd like. We got a little mikveh we got a little water here. I want to so bad. You guys have pound for pound the best wedding ceremonies.

15 minutes step on some glass and let's go have some party. That's true, and I do love that. The lifting up the bride and groom and shit. I like the hava. We have great parties. I love the short wedding ceremony for sure. I just don't look good in hats. So... Well, you got great hair.

That's why you got to cover it up. Right? So I don't have to put a yom kippur on there. You could be one of the Jews who plays in the NBA. You could be a tall Jew though. Name one. Well, Omri Kass... Omari Stoudemire?

Omri Kass... Omari Stoudemire. Who retired and then became Jewish. That's gotta be the tallest Jew. I mean, you can't tell... You can't tell his parents are Jewish? Stoudemire, he's an African Jew. Oh, Stoudemire, yes.

I'm trying to remember. I mean you can't tell his parents are Jewish. Sotomayor, he's an African Jew. Rod Carew. Rod Carew is Jewish. Obviously converted, family's a Jew. But as you can see, the book of famous Jewish professional athletes is a pamphlet. It's not really a book. It's not a book. They all play in the world baseball classic for Team Israel. Yeah, I'll tell you what I went to. I mean, you're exactly right about a Jewish wedding's way better. I went to a Catholic wedding. Had to sit through an hour and a half mass

of just them being like, you should feel guilt at all times. And it's like, I do. I don't need to feel this at a wedding right now. Bar Mitzvah's way cooler. Went to one. It was awesome. Great. The food spread was amazing. The party was amazing. Again, maybe it was a little too long on the ceremony, but you made it up for it in the wedding. Yeah, it all depends. Some could be really long or some short. I remember one of the things that Spencer's Bar Mitzvah, the rabbis are not supposed to eat shellfish. So it's funny, we actually found, and I won't mention the name, a rabbi who was eating

lobster and clams, was packing that stuff on the side. You guys got a bunch of gallons. So like we expected like God would open up and like kill it with lightning. It did. It didn't happen. When you're reading the Torah or the first two rows, why don't you guys ever have a splash zone? That's a great question. I'm just trying to think about that.

You do sometimes. I'm trying to think. I'm trying to connect that to the splash zone. Oh, OK. There is Scott. OK, they try to keep us. that to the splash zone. Oh, they're okay. I mean, with a hack. Come on, they're trying to keep us. Yeah, we do the splash zone on the bikes. You guys are a bunch of shamoos out there just fucking spitting. Yeah, we do. Absolutely.

So I wonder, being a neurologist, do you ever think about the end of the career and then what that looks like? Are you going to totally abandon the sciences and medical field and all? Or what does that look like when you kind of wrap it up? I'm in my 60s and I do actually really love what I do. So the question is, would you retire and do something else or would you like to do it? I think I really enjoy what I do. And I know a lot of people when they retire, for reason, they die shortly thereafter. I have a daughter who's in Penn right now, his sister. Shout out to Sutton, my daughter.

And she's got four years of medical school and that's going to be really expensive. And so, yeah, I think if you know you have to make money, like I grew up, my brother's son of a widow, and we had to kind of make our own life. We didn't really have a choice. And so now that I kind of have a duty as a dad to keep, you know, paying for my daughter's education, which is going to continue. So I'm hoping so I do enjoy what I do. I do like to play golf a lot.

We enjoy stuff, go to sporting events and play golf with this guy. So, yeah, I think it's a matter of enjoying what I do and working like maybe 12 to five. Like I'm a sprinter, I work 12 to five. I don't like showing up at eight. So I have my mornings free and my weekends off and don't have a lot of like, also, I kind of like where I'm at.

You know, I kind of like where I'm at. And as a son, he's not stopping anytime. Yeah, sounds about right. We're keeping the train rolling. I say it's a better ride. Don't talk about right. We're keeping the train rolling. That's it. It's a better ride. Yeah. Don't talk about train. That inheritance.

LSL, he likes working here as a medical assistant. Spetscher's great at working as a medical assistant. Love the golf on Sundays as well. So as a curiosity. Love the Eagles tickets. It's a very cool kind of dynamic you have. Are there goods and bads of working with Dad? Or is it mostly good, mostly bad?

We're kind of best friends. I mean, you can tell me and me and I call him Bruce here. It's funny instead of it's more professional than saying, Hey, dad, you're the patient in room or Delco. So can you believe your coworker sleep with your mom? That is funny when you phrase it like that. It's not funny. It's. Yeah, it's interesting. It's not funny. It's fucking awesome.

It's interesting. Yeah, that's interesting. But, uh... No, I know them intimately. I know my boss intimately, and I can have discussions with my boss anytime, and things like that. But, no, it is really great, and we do have a sports radio show,

and our lives are very intertwined. What's it called for the people? And you could tell that he has a good sense of humor. And he does. So our show is Rover Sports. Got it. Rover Sports. He gets on YouTube podcasts. So I have a show called Slaughterhouse Sports that I do on YouTube. But Rover Sports is on 860 a.m. and it's on Tuesday night.

Cool. Awesome. We were just actually at the Super Bowl. So we got to interview like the Eagles, like Cooper Dejean and even he spoke to Barkley and Brandon Graham. And we've been working in the Philadelphia like sports radio scene for like 10 for like 10 years. And it's turned into a hobby for us. I mean, we play, he used to play a lot of basketball, but now I mean, it's pretty crazy to think of us. We didn't have a radio show, but we always do Facebook live streams

and things together. And he's just, yeah, my dad's like my best friend. So I have no problem saying that. And even my friends, they love to just hang out and come over my house just to get jokes from, from Bruce. Cause you can tell he's just, yeah, he's just one of the guys. So that's what I would say. So as far as our thing with Rover Sports, Bruce Grossinger, Facebook, and also, you know, that was the way we all started people by your Facebook doing a little Instagram. And we're trying to evolve more to do a YouTube stuff stream yard and all that stuff.

And Spencer with Slaughterhouse Sports does a lot. We do a lot with college and pro football and basketball. So I think we don't really do anything with hockey, even though I played hockey, because it's kind of a, you know, the fire's been terrible for a long time. During Philly season, it certainly, so we pretty much respond to whatever's going on in the town. But football is, is, you know, obviously an all year round thing. Right now, we're getting into free agent carousel and stuff like that. And we also, uh, basketball, you know, obviously an all year round thing. Right now we're getting into free agent carousel and stuff like that. And we also, basketball, you know, we love March Madness and we like to travel a lot and play golf.

And so as a father and son, you can kind of have a part time business that enables you to do things you like, like travel and watch sporting events. That's kind of sick. That's about as good as it gets. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Well, thank you for coming on. We really appreciate it. This was great. Thank you guys so much. I really enjoy it. You guys are great guys.
