Get him is defined by his maladies at this point. Like when you think Gitim, you think, go out. Shooting around your asshole while you were asleep. There was an entire episode about how hard it is to rule when you have your period. Oh, boy. So it was cool. It was like I learned something. I didn't realize that.

You didn't think it would be? Tell him, Steve, Dave. Hello, welcome to this week's edition of Tell him Steve Dave. I look around this table. I see so many beautiful people. Q. Hello. Gorgeous.

Thank you. Walt, stunning. Thank you. Get him. How you're standing? You're here. Magnificent. And special guest, Dr. D.

Dr. D. Hello, hello. There you go. Welcome back. Yes. Thank you. I'm not to give her any adjectives or adverb. She's married.

I don't want that strong husband coming after me. He's got muscles. It's wisdom. Yeah. So, well, you had a plan for today, but you want to get through a couple things first? Sure. Any good stories from your, door dashing or have you stopped?

The weather has been so bad lately that I only been on a couple runs because it keeps I keep getting these tornado warnings and door dash will even suspend your time because they don't want to be, have people out on the road. So I was just like, you know, I have kind of taken my foot off to gas since I got back from Florida. I got to get back into the swing of things. It's hard. It's easy.

Right. Once you're on vacation, you're like, I've got to go back to that. shit. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Huh. All right. What else we got here? Let's see. I've been watching Little House on the Prairie, the new one on Netflix. Oh, how's it going? Oh, my God, does it suck? It's so boring. Really? I've been comparing notes with Frank. Yeah, Frank, watch the whole thing. I'm on

episode eight, so I've got one episode. So unless they pack seven episodes worth of action into this last episode, I'm going to be sorely disappointed. And Frank was like, well, they're probably just setting up for, you know, their time in Walnut Grove. I'm like, an entire season. Right. Like they had a flu epidemic. Zero drama to it, though.

Is it follow the beats of the books? Of the books? I believe so. So they don't add in new characters to modernize it or anything like that? No, I haven't seen any real modernization. All right. Nice. I haven't seen anything like that.

I haven't really learned any lessons, although Laura is definitely a liberal. Oh, yeah. Big time. Yeah. Well, a Wild West or modern? I would say, I would say even modern. Really? I would give her so far as modern.

Yeah, she's very welcoming and inclusive. There's not anything that would have made me watch it, but now I think I'll watch it. Oh, yeah? That sounds refreshing. Yeah, that's what you need in your life. Yeah. So, my favorite thing where you watch Game of Thrones? No, I have not watched it.

Oh, the new ones. It's great. Is that Dragon? Yeah, House of Dragons? Yeah, yeah. The season are they, huh? This is the third, but there was an entire episode about how hard it is to rule when you have your period. Oh, boy.

So it was cool. It was like I learned something. I didn't realize that. You didn't think it would be? No, I guess I just never thought about that before, Walt, and now... Walter's a gong. Yeah, Ben had to deal with that shit. No, I...

Why do you think I'm saying this? I learned something, and I never thought about when I was watching Game of Thrones before, what it would be like... What do they call that in the Game of Thrones universe? I don't remember. Is the moon something? I'll go re-watch it. So I'm just curious. I've never seen it.

What are they, what is the explanation for the not being able to rule during that time? No, no, no, no. I didn't say she couldn't rule, doctor. I said, it's more difficult. I want to know why it's more difficult. I found it's harder on, definitely on me. When the person who rules my house happens to be in that stage, I'm like, oh, shit. Maybe I don't rule after all.

I'm learning so much. I'm going to go sleep in the servants room. So much show. So much show, I think they accidentally included a battle between men last night. I was shocked. I was like, whoa, I forgot this happened in this show. Wow. Well, I did like Game of Thrones, so I'll give it a try.

Mm-hmm. I didn't watch you. Oh, boy. Oh, no. I saw the Odyssey. Oh, yeah. I can't wait to see that. I didn't.

Well, very trusted people have told me it's great. Not a tough sit because it is three hours. It's three hours long, but I did not feel like it dragged or it felt like three hours. Okay. I, again, I thought this was more like a story. I didn't read the story in high school, so I didn't know anything about it. I didn't realize it was fucking clashed. the Titans.

Oh, yeah. The commercials don't really sell that. I'm like, why ain't you putting the Cyclops in the fucking trailer?

I think a lot more people would go. Cyclops isn't a trailer. No, he's not the trailer I saw. He's in the trailer I saw. Like, there's some Harry has and shit in this.

Yeah. I fucking scream to Jeff on the phone. It's like, you got to get down here. This isn't boring, like historical shit. There's monsters and dragons in this fucking motherfucker.

Yeah. It's cool, man. Yeah, it was good. I'm going to go see it. I've been hearing nothing but good things about it. Yeah, Matt Damon's good. Yeah. Peter Parker's good.

I heard for some scenes, they hired a miniature actor to play Matt Damon, and then like an eight-foot guy to play the giant. Really? Is that true? Yeah. Was this Cyclops a puppet on set? I heard somebody told me that the Cyclops was physically there. They had a giant marionette.

Oh, I don't know. And then they superimposed, like, things on it. But that's what someone told me. So I don't know whether that's true. But it looked, it looked really good. I don't think he likes CGI, though, the director. I think that's why he did the puppet. And like he, like there was no green shoes.

Oh, shit. Look at that. That was a puppet, huh? I think that's, yeah. Well, I'm sure they, they imposed the. So they know what they're acting against. Oh, okay. That's pretty dope, man. That's great.

I think in Avengers, it was, uh, Brolin had like this tennis ball mounted above his head. So, like, they would know where Thanos's eyes were. Well, Jar Jar wore the Jar Jar Jar Jar Jar wore the Jar Jar Jar mask back. when they made that back in the day. So was that real or is this bullshit? Not's movies in the making, so. I don't know what that means, buddy. It's like behind the scenes footage from the movies.

Okay. All right, cool. And he did a thing I've never seen on a Cyclopsie before. The eye blinked sideways. Oh, really? Yeah, so it was like a little new twist. That's cool. I've never seen on a Cyclops before.

But, yeah, it was good. I mean, that guy's maniac, though, with the, like, in terms of not shooting on green screen. So I imagine it costs way much, the budget must balloon when you insist on practical shit. Yeah. Yeah. So that's the actress. Oh, wow.

And that's the one who played the giant. Man, she's real. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, it is cool. There's no real explanation, though, for like why there's, I guess it's just all, like, their beings of the gods. I guess there's like. They're gods in the movie, right?

There's not a lot of gods in the movie, but they're, I guess there's, I think the Cyclops was. the son of a god or something like that. You're not living a great life, though, if you're the son of a god, though, living in a cave, herding sheep. Yeah, that'll sound great. Well, what else was there to do back then? I mean, maybe live in a palace.

Honestly, if you offered me a few years on an island by myself, hurt and sheep, I'd be like, I don't know. That's not that bad. No phones? No social media. Nobody breathing down my neck. Sometimes the sheep need help getting through the cave. What are you going to do?

announcement my brother not him but his wife or girlfriend actually had her baby so he's now a father another Johnson in the world another yep another Johnson

fuck yeah what's that what he named the baby it's a girl her name is yeah her name is Juniper oh that's cool

I immediately said I'm going to call Junebug that's my nickname for he said his wife would appreciate that because it's appropriately white trash Yeah, so He now begins the He now begins the odyssey himself of Another, a kid

He raised his other, his ex-wife's kid pretty much From the time he was four And now he's like 24 or something And his now girlfriend, he's a stepfather to her kid Or stepfather to her kid or step boyfriend Or whatever we would call that Now he's got his own Nice. The grand adventure begins.

Fucking stupid bastard. Don't watch to me, but hey, I'd rather be the cyclops. I know. I'd be her than sheep in a cave. When's he planning to come to Jersey to show off the new baby? I don't know, probably a couple months. Yeah, why you want to lock them down? Yeah, lock him down.

Yeah, probably within a couple months. My mother wanted him to bring the baby camping in a couple weeks, to which he was like, I don't think so. That seems a little soon. How come? Brigh a board. Ticks everywhere. I mean,

the outdoors. If she's, your mother's talking about camping like in a sleeping bag, no, no, like, no log cabins. Like,

she wants to be out, roughing it, like on the terrain, living off berries and fishing. And if we don't catch any fish, that baby don't eat. Maybe I can eat. Baby,

they're awfully hungry. Yeah, I think she's talking about log cabin type stuff. But he's just like, look, it's a little bit too soon to be bringing the baby out and the great outdoors. I mean, that's the couple months maybe. Yeah. So. I saw a newborns bait, like barely out of the womb at Universal Studios.

Like, in the blazing heat. I'm just like, oh, fuck. Tickets were bought six months in advance. Yeah, I guess so. Baby came early. Like, Mama, like, she had two newborns in the stroller. And neat. All three of them looked.

miserable. And I'm just like, wow, why are you doing this to himself? It should have paid that $100 trip insurance. Get us on fire. I know, right? Look at him go. He's been all backed up when you went to Florida. He didn't nobody to talk to. Oh, I thought you meant.

I mean, when he talks about being backed up, I usually, I always just jump to the other. The other end's backed up, not his mouth. Never his mouth. I was told not to text something to my brother. We were on a big group chain group text. And so Eric said, you know, the baby's been born and everybody's weighing in with the congratulations. And then Pam was like, oh, the baby's beautiful. And under that, I wanted to text.

Then why did you text me privately? OMG, why didn't someone tell me Mars attacked? Because it was a picture of the baby. And she's my, Mary Beth said, no. She's like, I said, don't do that. Sometimes it's better to listen. And Brian Lee Johnson, listen? I listen because I'm on the fence about it.

So your pimp hand is gone. It is literally shriveled up. That is a limp pinpin. That is the limp is mistaken me for something. It looks like a plan. I forgot the water. The man he uses little dildos into his brother's permission. Now is letting his wife fucking edit his comment.

Maybe she knows. Edit his fucking his barbs. His brother was. expecting that maybe. Maybe he was maybe like, you know, Eric was like, man, my brother didn't chime in and make a joke about the insult the kid. I don't think he loves me anymore. Maybe he thinks there's something wrong with the baby now. Looks like a baby though. Yeah. It looks like a little baby. Yeah. So, congratulations to Eric. Uh, Dr. D, I can, I can ask you this. I was, uh, we were looking

through pictures, my wife and I. We came to a picture of years ago. I was probably 19 or 20, and it was Kevin was at the prom. And I went down there to see them off for some reason. I don't know why we went down there, but there's a picture of me and Kev, and I'm in shorts

in a tank top. And Marybeth starts fucking salivating over it. Younger me. She's like, look at those legs. Look at you. Now, is this something I should be jealous at? Or mad at? One of the two. Not realistic about it at all. It was a picture of you.

It's a picture of me and Keb. She was talking about me, yeah. I think that's, I think that's sexy. Like, she's still in love of the- She's pining over a totally different person. Look at me. She's still pining over the same person.

A different version, though. Yeah, I think that's, I think that's... Preferable version, maybe, with someone say. I think that's completely normal. Yeah? I think it would be more, I think it would be more offensive if she was saying negative things about it. But I think that's cute.

Look at a look at that hair. What's wrong with you? Yeah, could you tip your mic up just a little? Are you able to tip it up? No, it's not your fault. No, Gennem's on the way. I got it. There you go.

You'll be there and I don't know. As soon as I say, Waltz says, get him, tell him to see you, Dave. Yeah, I can just talk it to the mic, yeah. I don't know. I think that's sexy. I think that's reassuring. Reassuring, really, okay. It's like the past and present version of you.

How old are you in the picture? Probably like 20. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Not an ounce of fat on me. No saggy skin I just print out a picture of that guy And tape it to your face

Yeah you're right What print out a picture of it tape it to your face You like me now Make love Yeah Yeah why not get a little weird With it Where to go home and shave the beard

And then like surprise her And be like Do some leg exercises 19 year old brides here He's back baby The parents change would probably scream Popouts Let's break your hip

She doesn't know I'm home There's toilet paper cuts all over your, like the, you know, the toilet paper band-aids all over your face. All spots all over me. Yeah, no, I'm younger than that. Calabonga, dude. Dropping all your 19-year-old jargon lingo. Yeah, it doesn't look like it's popping up here. Wow.

Get them Googled Kevin Smith prom, Brian Johnson. But, yeah, I'm not saying. I wouldn't take it seriously. I think it's cute. Yeah? You should take it as a compliment. All right. If you say so.

What other choice do I have? Right? You could be, yeah, agree. What are you doing? Still about it? Exactly. No, I think it's good. All right.

It's reassuring. You say so. Yeah. This coming weekend, not this coming weekend, but the weekend of the 30th to the first, I think I'll be with Jiggy. The Taste Funny Comedy Festival, if anybody is. I don't know. I'm sure if tickets are left, but we're down there in Orlando. Yes, yes.

I'll be at a wedding, unfortunately, but. You'll be upstate, right? I'll be upstate. That sucked when I heard that. I was like, yeah, I wanted to go. I would have had to bail on the wedding and I can't because it's... This is two people who work on the set?

Yeah. Yeah. Can you take special precautions so you don't have any more nosebleeds this time? I don't know. What precautions could I take? For massive nosebleeds. Moistrize. Like drink a lot of water?

No, just like, you know, nasally. Nasal spray. Oh, I think. Like a saline spray. Maybe insert some suppositories into his... No. That would look good. Like steam in the shower.

Right. Take all of your medicine. You don't. Doesn't everybody steam in the shower? Yeah, pretty much. I don't, I don't let, I don't like it, it's steamy. I don't like it so, it's so hot that it's steamy. Wow.

No. Because then it burned your skin. Because I won't be there. That's a protective. It's a very concerning. Cold shower, man. That's for me. That's concerning.

Yeah. That's sociopath. And I don't like a warm shower. Am I wrong? That's true. If it's too hot, you get dry skin. But there's something about being cold. I'm so moist.

It's not preferable. I looked at, Walt, I know that we were talking about doing cons, though we have not heard from Joey Fatone yet. No, we have. I spoke to his manager and a proposal is being put together. Proposal. Yes, yes, yes. We have to review.

I'll have my John. We will review it over. Yeah. We will review it. Look it over. Yes. So, though I haven't mentioned it, there has been ongoing. There's been ongoing.

Do we put the weird clause in there, like, you know, how Van Halen was like we won like five pounds of brown M&Ms just to see if they're reading it? Sure, we could do that. You know, I made more concerns about, like, security and stuff like that, but we can do that, too. Yeah. Well, it's mainly concerned with M&Ms. Yeah, yeah. No, no, it was John Just.

because Van Hal wanted to make sure everybody was paying attention and reading the details. Oh, really? I don't know that. I thought it was just one of those whimsical things. If they got there and the bowl didn't have just that color of an eminent, they knew that they weren't paying attention to the details. Oh, all right. Like the stage and stuff.

But I was reading, Walt, I was reading the list of guests for DragonCon. Don't be... Atlanta, right? Atlanta, yeah. Don't be, don't feel like you don't belong at a con because some of these guests, I was like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.

Like lawyers, accountants. Yeah, it's like just like these weird lawyers and accounts? I think, I don't know. No, it's not even actors.

It's just like the one guy was like literally a lawyer who did like law for personalities and shit. And I saw another one where it was a girl who was in a meme. I don't, I don't have the picture. Oh, I actually might have the picture on the meme. Hold on.

I'll take a look. But, uh, it just strikes me that it's not going to be. Well, I'm sure there's nerds out there who are like even into like, I'm really into the law of how, you know, how contracts are signed by celebrities and lawyers. Yeah.

Right? There's got to be nerds who are into that aspect of it, too. I guess. Why not? Some good guests. Who are they got? Get them. Richard Dean Anderson.

John Billingsley. Richard Dean Anderson of McGiver. McGiver. Stargate, yeah. And General Hospital. What's he best known for McGiver, I would think, right? Yeah. I think there's two answers.

to that. Is there? Stargate? Stargate? I think he's got his Stargate fans and his McGuire fans. I mean, did anybody even know a channel that fucking show was on?

It was real popular, man. Matt Dinnaman's going to be there. There you go. Nathan Phillion. But this is somebody who's at a different com. This is a rocky smoky mountain anime fest.

John Glover. Jesus Christ, he's like 83. This is a girl who's a meme. Oh, yeah. Remember her? Oh, yeah. I remember her. Remember this meme girl?

Oh, yeah. Oh, I mean, she's appearing at a con. Why not try to, like, just squeeze everything? Oh, no, I'm not saying don't let her. I'm saying don't let her in. I'm saying that, like, if she can get in, surely somebody who is on TV for seven years shouldn't feel bad about, like, weasling their way in there. I recently saw another artist who was going to be at a con. The Super Jersey Eye in Peak Hillsborough, New Jersey con, Mike Zapsic, an artist, an artist.

Does he draw? Did he ever draw? Get him as unable to answer that question. Oh, do it to an Indian? 10 years ago. Oh, the Iron Ghalom. That's what Mike. Maybe he's considered being a writer on it, an artist.

I don't see, why not? Why not, Q? Why not? Why not? What else we got here? Let's see, I think that's pretty much it. That was all on my list for this week because, Walt, you have stuff that you want to get to. Well, we, I came back to Gidim's new health.

update with his enlarged body parts, right? I don't know how many things are now in large. No, sadly not that. How many things have grown to the point where now they're considered enlarged? I think just one. Just one. And just half of it. Just half of it.

And I thought it would be great time to ask Dr. D to come in and maybe give us as his friends and employers. is there anything that we can do to help him reduce the size of his enlarged body parts? I thought you were going to say fire him without it being actionable. Well, I wanted to just kind of like take a step back and see if we've closed the loop on the Chinese spine situation. Your Asian spine. Well, that's why I had to get the skin. Because the numbness was coming back. Oh, really?

Wait a minute. What was that? Did you? Didn't he have... Chinese spying condition? Yeah, the OPLL. Yeah, it's a condition. Oh, I got that.

Oh, I thought that was... So I wanted to see if that was like, if that's been, that book has been closed or if that book is still open. It's still open. It's still open. Yeah. That's why I had to get the... Do you think that there probably, his father or mother was Asian? You know, it's possible, right?

I would say, I know that I know the answer to this because I know how particular you are, but would you ever do genetic testing or anything like that? Or would you be too paranoid to do that? Anonymously, I do it. Or maybe not a father, but like there's in his family tree, there must be aging. Yeah. There's a hundred. It could be. Yeah.

I think that a lot of people. Don't discount it might not be his real dad. His real dad could be like a Charlie Chan type. You don't know. He doesn't tell you everything, right? You're adopted. A lot of things through those. That's more outdated than.

Jackie Chan type, but I just think you're like Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan is a little. The kids are like, who? Even Jackie Chan's at a lot of date. I should update it. When I was number one son? I would look. I don't know.

I would do some kind of 23. What would it, even if you found out, what would it mean anything? It would just be more of an interesting thing to know. Okay. So what can we do to help? Now, you've seen the scans, right? I actually didn't see them until five minutes ago. I thought you said you said that.

I did. I didn't get the email. I didn't look at it because it was too busy. I didn't get it. He didn't tell me. She doesn't just do shit for free. But I did look at it when I got here. Well, because she knows any advice she gives me.

He's not going to listen to either way. I don't know. I think he will. If he would have texted me and said, hey, check your email, I would have done it right away. But it was, it's been busy. So what I would say is when I saw when I got here and looked at the scan was that I don't know if there's anything you can do other than take away the Himalayan Seasol and just secretly.

Where is the Himalayan sea salt? Where's the sea salt? Well, as you'll know, my multivit. He's already going back. My confrontation. My multivide gives me 100% of my iodine for. Okay. So he makes a good point.

Where's the sea salt out? It's in the back. Not anymore. Why does it? Not anymore. It's gone. I'm taking it. As soon as this recording is over, I'm throwing it in the dump stuff.

Regular fucking salt for you, son. I would say this, the more seriously. thing is and, you know, obviously, I care about you, so I want you to do the right thing. At a unilateral swelling anywhere, it needs to be prioritized because you would think that if something was homogeneous or bilaterally swollen, that it's probably less of an issue than something that's unilaterally swollen, meaning one-sided. So, you know, obviously you don't want to, if that issue were to get worse, you don't want to have any compression on your airway. You don't want to have hoarseness, trouble swallowing, et cetera.

So if I reo, I would get that ultrasound right away because you want to see what's, what the reason for the extra tissue is. Is it a cyst? Is it a nodule? Is it something that's not supposed to be there? Is it an autoimmune thing? So it's not something I would put off to the way aside. I would expedite getting better pictures so that you can make decisions about what you need to do. But I don't know if there's anything else that you got.

Like I thought maybe massages could like maybe like, no, neck massages wouldn't. Karate. Karate chopped to the neck once a day. I forget if like last time we hear, did we talk about one of those like full body fucking, we did talk about them? You, that might be up your alley. You might want to get that done. What is that called?

Provo, whole body MRI. Proenovo, full body MRI. I mean, it might. I don't like MRI. Is there enough value in the world for that? Yeah, I'm not sure. Like the 10 milligrams they gave me Did like barely anything

But that thing will tell you everything, right? Like it tells you everything. Yeah, it would give you a better picture. But the ultrasound is key because if there is something that's not supposed to be there and it's not good, it's got to go. If it's something that is benign or not concerning, then you can probably just monitor it. But you don't want to waste time on that.

So how come the MRI doesn't show that? But you need another thing now. So sometimes contrast, I don't know if you had contrast or not. So sometimes contrast is a better enhancement, but an ultrasound is the first line treatment because it gets super close to the area. And it can give you definitive answers about like the texture of the tissue and what's going on in there. It's like why you can see like a baby's face. Do you like not no kidding around? Do you think that like maybe after hours like, you know, after Tom closes up his shop that he could just sneak you in the back door?

I've asked. He says no. Oh, my God. He's got, we got to put some pressure on fucking Tom. We'll just tell his wife to tell him. He's got to fucking step up and fucking take on for the team now. And let him have. No reason after.

What's it called the probo? Prolapse d'Anovo. Like he's got to like let you have at the probo machine and do all the scans. I think it would be hard to get an old person. Nobody would ever know, right? Like, isn't it like a copier basically? Well, the radiologist would have to read it. And then it would be part of a medical record.

Or you could read it. Oh, I can't read it. Okay, then we'll let Tom read it. Only a radiologist could read it. We'll let Tom read it and see what he thinks. And then there's blood work you can do too. So I wouldn't put that on the back burner. I would do that this summer.

Just get it out of the way. Yeah, I got to find an endocrinologist that's on my plan. And then because I'm a new patient then. I got to wait for the inevitable month of waiting, you know, or at least to get in to see them. Do you have a primary though that could read the orders? Primary care doctor? I have a PCP, but my neurologist specifically said I need to see an

chronologist. I would, I mean, I handle thyroid issues all the time. I would just ask your PCP first because it's something that's easy. Now, what are the symptoms when you have a, have a big thyroid? So, it's interesting. You could either have a big thyroid because your thyroid is too slow or too fast. It's probably too slow. It's not too fast. Based on all the other evidence available. That's not necessarily true. The blind girl would have issue with that. Hold up. I know something he's very quick at Like a rabbit

You know rabbits Go at it and then they go down for like an hour or two They just heal over Legs still fucking twitching like thumper Hey no blue chew helping that Yeah I would say probably not hyperthyroidism because usually those are like more, they're rough symptoms, like sweating, heart rate really high,

rapid weight loss, like anxiety really badly. I wouldn't think that, I think that you would be really symptomatic if you had hypothyroidism. But it's, I mean, if it's the very beginning of it, maybe not. Hypothyroidism is like tired, sluggish, hair loss. Check, check, check. Weight gain. those types of things. Slow heart rate.

Definitely not that. Yeah. So I would just prioritize the situation if it were me. But there's nothing we can do. I don't think there's anything you guys can do. That's good. I can't think. I'm taking this off your plate.

I'm taking this off your plate. I can handle it from here and tell them what to do, but I don't think there's anything you can do. Do you feel it could be a side effect of the surgery? That was, I was going to ask you that, because it's on the same side as the incision? No, it's the opposite side. And I am a little TTP on that side, tender to palp patient. I'm like the back of my neck.

He's not all the alcohol terms. Damn. He studied for the test today. No, that was what my physical therapist told me to say. To say, yeah, I'm just kidding you. No, if it's on the opposite side, it's unrelated. If it hasn't been cut through, then I don't think it's part of the issue. Okay.

Yeah. Because I do get a little trouble swallowing on that side where they, incision was over here. But that's only every once in a while. Like, I'll say a certain word and like it kind of locks up. Hmm. So I'll say a certain word. Yeah.

And your, and your neck locks up? No, no, just like I get like a little twinge and I got a cloth. What word is it? It all. It all.

It's, I can't breathe. I don't usually notice what word. It's like I'll be trying to say a sentence and like it catches that one word. Mm-hmm. It's not a specific word. Yeah, I can't say it's related. Okay.

Just get the whole thing ultrasound. I would just, you know. Because like, you know, I can't see it back here, but the one side where the incision was feels like sunk in as opposed to the other side. Yeah. I don't think it's ever going to be completely normal because any time you're like surgerized like that, that you're going to have some chronic pain and it's going to be like stuck.

No pain. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Except for the pushing. Like I said, if you, if you mess with it too much. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't think it's really. You just said something interesting, normal. Gidim is defined by his maladies at this point. Like when you think Gidt, you think neck pain, you think this, you think that. Do you see any normalcy in his future with all these problems he has? It's an awfully long pause. I know, that's a hard question to answer because what is normal? I don't think any of us are normal.

Normal's a, it's a normal age setting on a washing machine. I think you could be better. I think it could be better. You know, if you keep up with physical therapy, if you work in it every day, if you take care of everything needs to be taken care of, I think you can get a lot of your function back. Do you think that tub of pills over there is normal? The thing that's concerning to me about the tub. The tub of pills is that did someone tell you specifically to take these? Well, you Google did. You told me to take that. Yes. And magnesium. as well. What about the 50 other bottles?

But, you know, if you're feeling... The calcium was for after my... Because I was regrowing the bone after they did the surgery. But if you're feeling better, like, you might not need to take all of the supplements. And I don't know what else is in there, but...

Some of it, yeah. Yeah, I think that sometimes people can really hurt themselves by just buying things over the counter. Like, you can get toxic off certain things. Certain drugs can change your heart rhythm. Like, so I think people just go in the store and they're like,

what's the highest dose of anything I can find, I'll take it. I'll feel better. It's like, no, you really could harm yourself. I used to do that with oxy. It's the highest dose. I can just give me it. Just give me it. Well, my B12 was low when they, when they took the, yeah, I think we talked about that before. And that's totally fine. But you just, you can't just take what you have to really consult with your doctor on everything you do. My doctor knows I take these. I admit it when I. You brought the tub with you? No, I, I, I put it on my my chart. So they know exactly what I'm taking. I take at least a photo of it and bring it and be like,

Doc, is this okay that I'm ingesting all these pills five times a day? It's twice a day. I take ones in the morning and once at night. How many pills are in each grouping? I mean, five in the morning and four at night. That seems like a lot. I would just see if you really need all of them. And that's all supplements, right?

That's not like prescribed medication? No, none of it's prescribed. Yeah. I have a stool softener I take, the multivitamin. Come on now. Don't get Dr. D. I'm notheasium. My magnesium, my calcium.

All right. I applaud you for trying, but just be cautious. I am, yeah. What's something he could do naturally to, like, to soften things? I take a metamusal. Can he take, like, like a lot of cabbage? A lot of cabbage. With the carbon.

the situation in the lettuce community. He's going to be crabbing his brains out. The diarrhea lettuce is going around right now. We don't recommend that. Well, just not from Taco Bell. Just don't buy Taco Bell lettuce. Fiber you're doing, staying hydrated, being active, moving. Don't shake your head, yes, at being active.

I was shaking it. Fiber. We need to move. Involuntarily. And then, like, the magnesium would help. And I think also, like, Certain fruits. I take the,

I take the magnesium night because apparently it also helps you sleep. That it does. You don't have to need any help falling to sleep. Every time I fucking walk in here, you're sleeping.

Every time. Well, you see my magnesium? Oh, man, I took too many magnesium. I fell fucked up,

man. Yo, bro. You can die that way. You can open his eyes. So, fucked up on me. Where am I?

Got my mag shits. Mad soft shits. Like, don't you think it's better for him to go the more natural route to get these things rather than just in a pill form? Yeah. I mean, that's always the case. Like, natural things are better than pills. But I understand there's certain, you know, certain people have certain issues. But as doctors, we always want patients to do things in natural ways.

I mean, at least I do. want to say, here's a pill for this, here's a pill for this, see you later. Like, I want to try to help them get there on their own. So, yeah. How's your cholesterol, you know? I think it was a little. It actually wasn't that bad. Yeah.

Because when we were here for the Christmas pod, Chris. Chris Littano was so mad because Gettum's cholesterol was better than that. My liver function and my liver functions. He was raging out over it. And I love him for that. But yeah, I think your clenchedon. actually wasn't that bad. Life's not fair sometimes.

Yeah, that's genetics a lot is 50% of the issue. Wow, because Landa's not a, he's a pretty slim guy. Yeah, but if you have that genetic propensity, like, there are people who are like high-grade athletes who have horrible cholesterol. So what could a high-grade athlete do about it then? Sometimes it's like they're, yeah, they're genetics or there's certain, like, there's new things we're trying to, like, there's a new pill out that just came out last week to kind of like block the genetic.

I'm sorry if this is boring. open. No, no, no. Like there's a new pillar trying to make that's trying to block one of the inhibitors that, like, makes you keep cholesterol longer. So we're trying to, like, be more scientific about it. Yes, diet is a huge portion of it, but a lot of people who are extremely healthy have horrible cholesterol and it's not their fault. So you can't always assume that a patient comes in and has a bad cholesterol that they're eating poorly because it's not always the case. As a doctor, how much of your time is spent having to keep? up to date. Like you just said, there's a new pill on the market coming out last week. Like, how,

how are you able to keep up with all the, because I imagine there's somebody who, like, a representative that comes to your office to try to sell a pill, right? Well, they just stop in and leave information and give me samples and say, if you have any questions, we can meet and have, like, a Zoom or whatever. But it is very difficult because every pill has two names, the brand name and the generic name. So when I went to medical school, I had to, like, I feel like a part of the person. of my brain just dumped information from the past and had to make like a whole new vocabulary because every drug has two names and then you have to memorize what the drug does, both of the names, and they're constantly coming out with new drugs. So it is very difficult. So sometimes if someone

comes in from a specialist and has a new drug, I'm like, oh my gosh, I've never seen this. I have to sit and look it up, read about it. So a lot of time is done. And then you have to keep also up to date on what drug maybe goes off market, right? Yeah. And a lot of the drugs, too, when they first come out are super expensive. So everybody wants it right away, but it's so expensive. So it's like, it's not, it's so difficult sometimes because some people don't have enough money to pay for things. You have to find an alternative.

Yeah. What? My urologist prescribed something. It was $500 for 30 days. Oh my God. I was like, I'm not going to take it, I guess, because it's not necessary, but it was like, helpful, beneficial. Yeah.

So it's so convoluted, the pricing and, You know. So is it just like, is it just to dumb it down? Like as a doctor, do you order like, like a certain amount of pills a month or like how, or do you just describe them, right? Yeah. So you. So what you have them in your, but you, they leave the pills at your office though for you to. So if a new pill comes out.

To try it on yourself to see if it works? No, no, no. So, yeah, I just, I just, I just go, well, down the hatch and see what's going to happen today. I, no, no, I, is one of my pupils bigger than the other one right now? Is my smile crooked? So if they leave a pill for you, what do you do with it, though? Okay, example would be when a new blood thinner came out. The rep will come in and say, hey, if any of your patients come in and they have new onset atrial fibrillation and they need a blood thinner, here's some samples to bridge them to when their insurance could pay for it.

So, like, it's kind of like a help along the way. Okay. I don't, those pills are for specific condition. like thyroid or blood thinners, but they'll only give you one or two boxes. And then after you give them to the patient, you're like, I hope that your insurance covers it. I'll try my best, but you might have to pay. Do you keep up on the costs of these? It's not your concern what the costs are.

Because every insurance is different. Right. Yeah. My insurance sucks. They pay for nothing. I take a pill that would normally be about $6 to $700 a month. and but my psychologist, psychiatrist, gives it to me in a sample form.

So it's very nice of them, yeah. Yeah, and that's what we're forced to do to try to make sure that everyone's well taken care of. But I know, like, in medical school, I lost so much information from, like, sometimes I forget how to spell certain words because I swear my brain dumped. Like anything that was non-essential to make room for that whole new vocabulary of words I've never known before. Like even like when you do the cadaver lab and you have to learn. all of the muscles in the body. All the different sinuses and stuff. Every single thing has a different need.

So it's like all these new words are coming in your head. And like there would be times where I forget how to spell like the simplest word because I feel like my brain just dumped it. But you know, you adapt and you learn and you're allowed to look things up. You know, you have a lot of resources. Are you said you missed the heyday of drug reps? I never really got to experience. I never got to experience that really. No?

No. I mean, the most they used to do would. be, hey, if you want to talk about this new drug, we'll bring you lunch. Lunch is allowed? Yeah, and we'll sit and talk about the drug and you can ask me any questions you want. But never, I was never spoiled by them in any way. That's over. That was back in the day.

The swag like pens and stuff. Yeah, they're not allowed to get, yeah. I'm talking about vacation to Hawaii. Like pens. Penrich. Wait, did your name on it? No, they don't do. It's one of those nudie pens at least.

They don't do that anymore. What is this you have up on the board, you know? This is you? Yeah. Well, those aren't triglycerized dangerous ones? I feel like they got a little higher, didn't they? I mean, it's in the yellow. It says high.

That's from October. Yeah. Have you had it repeated? No, I can't find it. Well, triglycerized is the one that they say is a dangerous one, right? No, the LDL at the bottom. LDL. He's still high on that.

A little high on that, but not horribly. But you need to work on that a little bit. Yeah. And thyroid simulating hormones, is that a relative or Yeah, that's actually in a good range, but that was from more than six months ago, so things can change. How often should the average person get all these tests done? Depending on your age every six months to a year. If you have other serious medical conditions, then maybe every four months, I would say.

Do you get all this shit done? I do once a year. I do check up once a year. Yeah. Yeah, I'm in the, my cholesterol is a little high. Yeah. You've mentioned that before. Yeah, it's a little high.

and everything else is great, though. Please don't be. Would you say what's terrified of doctors? You need to do it. I'm so like, I have a lot of neurosis. Well, you don't want to know if something's wrong. Yeah. Kind of like with your car, you just turn the radio up.

You mean paranoia? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I understand that. I don't think that anyone coming to see me, it's the best day of their life. But I think you,

you should at least go get a physical and you can kind of be in control of what you do and don't do. I don't want them to insert anything. They don't have to. You have control over your body. You're not a layout. They won't do any. Well, they have to put a needle in them to get the blood out.

No, I don't care about it. I'm talking about, you know. Oh, get your asshole jack? I told you. Just do this shit in the bucket and mail it in. Yeah. You don't have to do any. I don't want to handle it.

No. I like my postman so much. I do not want to hand them. You don't give it to the postman. You don't put it in an envelope and be like, Here you go. Hey, Ted! Oh, my God.

I was sorry about that. I am a story about that. I like him too much to like here, brother. It's, it's... Well, you should just came to my post office. I said a lot of it. It's FedEx or something like that, buddy. You don't have to worry.

Well, I was going to say, just so I can close the gap on this, you have to consent everything that happens to you. So nothing in that room is going to happen to you if you don't consent to it. So that's one. The second thing is, so you know those things, you might not know, there's these kits you can like put a stool sample in and mail out. Yeah, so I get this. Someone didn't read the directions. And I got a notification that the weight of the package and the sample size was too big for processing.

Someone just took a massive shit in this box and didn't read the directions. So now I'm like, one, they have to redo the test. Two, I have to call them and be like, bro. What's the matter with you? in this box and they're not going to take it. It was so humiliating for me. So I just put it in an email.

For you? Yeah, I just said, hey. Hey, Chatsy-B-C. How do I tell my patience this? Hey, you're going to have to redo it. I've done it a couple of times. It's gross, but it's better than getting some guy. First of all, they have to knock you out to do it.

And then they're rooting around your asshole while you're asleep. It's not for me, man. I'm awake. Rude away, ladies. Would you do what? Could you swallow a pill? Get a little fucking hedgehogs. Come on now.

It's better than the finger. So as it goes through your system, it takes photos. Oh, and you swallow that thing? Yeah, very expensive. Probably won't be covered. Okay. Yeah, you know what? Wait, that's an option?

I'm fine. Yeah, I'm good. Well, nobody told me that option. They should. I mean, you're rich. But it's not an option. It's only an option if they want to look at your small bowel, which they can't get to. Who would want to look at my small bell?

It's beautiful. I've seen it. It's famous. Chew a TV Put it on for an hour It could be a special I can tell advertising against that

It's usually not covered Unless you're sick In another way Yeah So just be glad You don't have to do it I can go pitch And then you have to root around

And you're in the tube For the capsule It comes out Right Q a small bow Well Q small bow Will Q small bow Yeah

This week I'll like Will he find the capsule Oh, which, by the new season starts tonight. Oh, tonight? So any of the ants out there with... This will be out on Sunday. Yeah, but the plus threes matter even more than day of.

So anybody that has the old... So today is the 23rd. Yeah. So we're recording us on 23rd. Yeah, it's just coming Sunday. I know some ants got the magic boxes out there. They do. They tell me.

Yeah, so please, please, please. They put down and they watched you. But we were going to Concoxin Mary Beth had one, she told me. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they happened to send her one. Yeah. That's cool. Yeah.

She was telling the truth. I hope so. Otherwise, I can't believe anything she said. I have to think that text. That you're just as nice and kind. I believe the personality you bring here on Mike is the same exact one when you're at work. Yeah. So that would be a big help if I felt like I was going in to see a doctor like that.

but I don't know if most of the doctors I've seen, you know, in the past 10 years, which are not many, they're not, they don't have a good bedside manner and it terrifies me. I know. They're so cold and clinical and just kind of like, they don't seem like, not that they have to care. I don't know what the word is I'm searching for, but like they're almost, they're almost disassociated, and it just feels like. Yeah. Not another face.

Like, not that I need them to be my friend. I'm searching. It's probably just an excuse I'm building up in my mind. Or they're not comforting enough. Yeah, I want someone to hold me if they're going to put their finger in me. You want a spoon. That's a big request, but I told me to bring a third party and they'll hold you. I'll hold you, boss.

I was thinking my wife. I can pretend it was her finger. At least, not you. I don't want to see your face. His breath on your neck. The doctor's in there right now. You see, it's not that bad. Do it so good, man.

What about Teddy? Teddy. Teddy would be, Teddy would be a very comforting to have, but I don't know if the doctor would be up for the hygiene factor of the dog. Teddy sleeps on your back while he's in there going deep. Well, isn't he allowed any? What if somebody brought a service dog into your office? Is that allowed? Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't be against it.

As long as it was a service animal and it wasn't wild. What if it was rabid? It was rabid. I don't want to get rabies. So I'm not trying to get rabies anytime soon. But I was supposed to be honest on my doctor, right? 100%. Yeah.

If you're lying. I would be like, this is, I would have to be like, this is not my service dog. Oh, no. You wouldn't have to say anything about that. I could be honest. Yeah, but you could be honest about it. See, we're already off to a bad start. I'm already lying as soon as I walk in.

I'm already telling him a lie. But you're not lying. He's giving you comfort. Right. But he wasn't prescribed to me, though. I would never ask. I would just be like, oh, does your service animal great? Anyway, I wouldn't even ask.

But I do think I'll help you in any way that you need help. I do. I do. I am 100% like I would bet anything that you're the same exact person and that like your bedside manner is immaculate, I would have to imagine. Even at the end of the day? Yeah. Like she's got a deployment like you mean? It's close to third.

She's like, I'm tired of being a night. I think that I treat people, I think I treat people the way that they treat me. So I'm nice to everyone. I think I'm very welcoming and chill. But if someone disrespects me, then it's game over. Or if you lie to my face and I catch you in a lie, like people have done, have done before. I say, like the service dog is the lie. Not that kind of lie.

Like I had this guy that he lied to me about injecting testosterone. and his numbers were all over the place. And I was doing this workup because I thought he had, like, testicular cancer. I was calling all these specialists. And I asked him, I asked him, like, three times, tell me the truth. Are you doing this? Because if you're not, you're in trouble. And every single time he lied to me.

Like, with the law in trouble, you have to report him? No, no. Like, just we're doing a, like, you may have some sort of horrible condition. So I just need to know the truth. Are you doing this or not? Every time I asked him, he said no. and... And finally, I got a letter from the consultant that I sent him to that said he fessed up.

So I called him and I said, hey, I got the note. And he goes, yeah, I lied to you. They said, yeah, you did. And I did a lot of extra work because of it. So I was like, I think maybe we shouldn't continue. Oh, you dropped them as a client. Yeah, why not? What do these benefits be to doing that, though?

Why would he get out of that? Why would he be injecting anything into himself? Because he was very. massively jacked human being. Oh, he was a bodybuilder? A hundred percent. Like, he was huge and super muscular, wanted to look good. And what was he injecting? Steroids? Probably stuff he bought at the gym. You can buy it in the black market. Stereids? Yeah. But the problem is when you're not doing it monitored, your numbers go through the roof and then, like, horrible things start to happen. Or a doctor who thinks you're not taking

it might think you might have a condition, like certain cancer. Were you suspicious when he came in all I was suspicious, but that's why I asked him three separate times and he said 100% no. And I, I, I probably thought he was going to get in trouble with the law, right? I don't know. After the third time, I was like, okay, I guess maybe he's being truthful. I don't know. You can't assume that, I don't know. And I'm sure people.

It really aggravated me. But some people, I'm sure they lie. Why not? Would you consider omitting something lying? because out of lying by omission or lying because they're embarrassed You know every girl I ever date it did

It would depend on the case I think if you lie to my face Whether you're my patient My friend or my family member I'm gonna feel a certain way about it I don't like liars So I don't lie I don't like liars

If you're gonna lie you're done But if you're like you know Let's say the guy is like I drink tons of water It comes in a green can Yeah Sprint brand Or the guy who comes in

And he's like, you know, I fell on this light bulb You know He doesn't want to He's amazing to the light bulb We all know We all know you didn't fall on that light bulb Okay Yeah, I mean

I'll I'll go along with it to save face for some people. Because that's the saying, you're super nice, though. Yeah, I mean, I would never. Like, I know if I went in there were a light bulb, I know there's some factors would be like, you know, they'd call me out immediately. You gotta come see this. Turn the lights out.

What is it this time? We did have a case like that in the ER when I was an intern. Someone lost a dildo that was, it was supposed to be, like, you know how they're didn't have a flirt end? It didn't have, they didn't strap the wrist part on. They had like a wrist thing on it. You could stabilize it with. Like a boogie board?

I don't know. It had like a thing on it. It was like, oh, shit. It had a whole. I was taking it for a walk. I mean, they laughed all you want. It sounds like it would have prevented a lot of it. It sounds like a genius.

It was a preventive mechanism that they did not use. I used it by Nintendo. Why wouldn't I use it for my ass? Yeah. And it went all the way up. So they had to go to the O.R. It gets me confused about that. Like, why can't they just.

just poop it out. Because it was too far up. Right, but everything starts up there. It was motorized. So it's still on? I don't know. I didn't scrub it on the case, but they had to go to the OR and sedate the person and then get this a colonoscopy type thing to pull it out in the middle of the night. So the surgeon had to come in. Always happens that night, right? Never in the daytime. Crazy. You're a true. Yeah. Under the dark of the dark of night. Yeah. Yeah. Weird shit happens. If you go throwing the day, there's something wrong with you. And then there's people who, like,

like to swallow sharp objects. That's never a good time. Like to? Well, they like to do it either because they have like a fantasy to hurt themselves. Oh, you meant they were like in a side show? No. Freak. No.

I've never met any of those people. But like they'll just do it on purpose and then someone has to come in and go down there and get everything. So when you were on, you said you were a resident at the hospital. Was that like the, was that like the whole wing was a buzz with the with the story about the guy? one talks about things. Yeah. Like, we'll get this.

That's right for both six. Give yourself a treat. But like, we don't see their names and stuff. This is not a correct number. Yeah. We keep a professional.

You know, sometimes you just need something to break the monotony. Right. Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm watching Scrubs now and it feels like that

they use comedy a lot because of, except they didn't. If they didn't use, if you guys didn't use comedy, it would be too traumatizing on your psyche, right? You'd like to see...

It's like cops and paramedics. You need that gallows sense of humor. Hugh probably knows too. Like anyone who's a caregiver or service person, like firemen, firefighters, nurses, do you see so much horrible things in the world that when you get home, you don't want to see something sad on TV, you want to laugh, you want to listen to a funny podcast,

you want to watch a comedy. And I have got the show for you tonight at 10 p.m. on TVS. Yeah, so that's why I like to dokers on. Yeah, so that's why I like to do. to see things that are funny. But it is true. Like the show Scrubs is definitely 150% written by someone who was in medicine because every single character in that show I can equate to someone I've met in my life. And they probably still work at the hospital that I used to work at. So you use laughter as a way to get through the hard things, which I think a lot of humans do. But it is a very scarring profession for all of the people that are caregivers because those memories are with you. you got to break out of it somehow. I wanted to ask regarding scrubs, though, like, do surgeons and doctors, do they, like, draw a line between each other the way they show on the TV show? Is there this kind of, like, I'm a surgeon camp, and I'm a doctor camp, and they eat with the other surgeons and the doctors eat other doctors?

Is there this kind of, like, distance between them? Clicks? Yeah, there are clicky because, and it's not in a bad way, but, like, the internal, the medicine people are more than nerdy people because we're doing all the, behind the scenes work. We're making sure that the patients are staying alive during the night after they are operated on, keeping them alive so they don't die before the surgeon gets there to do the surgery. But we get, we tend to get pushed into the nerdy scene because we're not doing, we're not, you know, scrubbing in and cutting people open and taking things out. So we're kind of like, how they talk. Yeah. And the surgeons, most of them do like think they're like shit doesn't

stink because they are beloved in the hospital and they walk around with their little scrub caps on. And they, you know, they want, they, they get a lot of kudos because they do do a hard. Surgery is hard. It's a way longer residency than I had to do. So there is much respect for them. But they tend to be a little rough around the edges and pompous at times. But you really can't let that scare you because you know when it comes down to it, once they're out of the OR and you're in charge again, you're still keeping that patient alive. So much respect to them for doing that, but at the same time. Is that all surgeons do is just surgery, or do they have to do, like, put in hours of, like, treating people in a non-surgical way? They do the same internship as we all do. And then they leave

us, and they go to do their five-year surgical residency. Five years? Wow. So they just, they just- We only do two or three and they do five. Like, watch a lot of surgery? No, we just scrubbing and help with all of them. So, like, you come in every day, you round on all the surgery patients. If there's a gallbladder, an appendix, a trauma, you have to scrub enough for all of them within reasons. What, like, don't you have to feel like you would have to be, like, to do that kind of work and open up bodies and get inside there? You have to be built differently, right? I mean, it's, you, like, nothing really can, like, shake you or rattle you. I think if you're, if you were working in a hospital like I did or, like a surgeon did with people who are extremely safe.

you have to stay calm. Like, little, you can't let little things bother you because two people could be trying to die at the same time and you have to try to fix both of them. I mean, I mean, it's shake around in terms of cutting open a body. That's true. So you have to be able to have. And seeing the insides of things that no people are meant to be seen. Yeah, a strong stomach, a steady hand. I think you have to have physical capabilities to be on your feet for that long.

Like sometimes if you stand in one position for too long and it's hot in there, you feel like they're going to pay a out. I haven't made a chair yet, like a Professor X chair. We don't sit. Oh, the anesthesiologist sit. We don't, the surgeons don't sit. No, they can't get like these chairs that let them take a little bit of weight off, like their high chairs. I mean, it's been a while. You would think.

Like a swivel chair. Drag a bar stool into the operating room. You would think it would be a good idea, but no, no, you stand. And I, like, there's a couple times I almost went out because it's so hot. Don't lock your knees. Yeah, like, if you pulled these giant, it is freezing in the hospital, but they pull these giant lights down so they can see everything. And they're burning up the back of your head. So, like, you have to be a different-

Why don't they just use LEDs? I don't know what's hot. Because the lights. Got them all. Get them with them. I have no freaking clue. The lights they use are specially designed. They don't cast shadows.

Oh, well, I don't know how they pull that off. Well, I know. It's positioned. It's not in their house. What can you position LEDs that way? I don't. It'll probably get a lot of your knowledge. It'll probably get.

better, but I don't know. What about robot surgeons? Because I, I've been hearing a lot about this. Well, A, I actually one day replace human surgeons. I think every type of surgery. I think it's possible that it will replace some surgeries because a lot of doctors do use robots with their own movements to do surgeries now. My doctor did on me.

Yeah. So, I mean, it's so funny, too, when we were in our surgical residency. It looked like C-3PO. It did. You are away. You were like, no anesthesia, Doc, I want to see the whole thing. It's sort of insulting me like I was R2G2. Drink more water, idiot.

They actually, they separated us, boys versus girls, which is funny, to do this video game that would tell if you were going to be good at surgery in medical school. And because I play video games sometimes, I got the highest score out of all the girls. But it goes to show you that that hand-eye coordination can help you. And all the guys had high scores because they're probably more versed in that arena. Or maybe they were just better at the game. But they separated us to tell you whether your skill set was appropriate for if you wanted to go into that. They won't use the board game operation. Only after hours.

Have you ever seen this video where they stitch a grape? You know, we're watching a robot peel a grape and then stitch it, you say, get him? Yeah. It's wild. Yeah, I mean, they're doing stuff like that. They're doing stuff like that now, but I don't know. There's something in my mind. I don't trust robots.

Yeah. Like, what if the thing has, like, a malfunction and it just goes, I've said this before. Are there some surgeons who are, like, I will not use a robot? Because they realize, you know, and sooner or later, they're going to, they could replace surgeons. I don't know many surgeons anymore, but I don't know many surgeons anymore, but I, I would say that there are certain surgeries where you probably wouldn't even want to have to deal with a robot. Some surgeries are so straightforward. You wouldn't need it.

Yeah. Mm. Yeah. It's definitely a hard profession because you have to be able to be on your feet long hours and not feel sick in any way. You've got to be sharp, too, right? You can't have an off day. No. You've got to leave everything at home.

Yeah. But I think that it's like that a lot in certain jobs where you have to concentrate. But, yeah, you have to really be responsible. So you can't bring any baggage in like, man, my wife's slobbering over an 18-year-old me. You can't bring that in? Leave it at the door, brother. Yeah, okay, okay.

I don't know if I asked you this last time you're on. Can we do a little couple ads here first wall? Sure. Hang on to that question. First off, I'm going to have to call your husband and ask if you're allowed to talk about boner pills. Okay. I think he'll be okay with it.

We're talking about perfect jeans. What's your biggest frustration with jeans get them? You don't really wear jeans, do you? In the winter.

In the winter you wear? Yeah. You're always in shorts. I always see in shorts. Gene shorts, maybe. Yeah. That would be a good look for you. Some jorts. Yeah. I like jeans. Biggest frustration with jeans, Q, do you have one? I mean, usually it's me putting on a bunch of weight and not fitting into my jeans. Yeah, that's usually the issue. Let's see what the perfect genes can help you out with that.

Okay. Do they usually feel like they're designed for someone else's body in mind? And if so, what? If so, what do you think his or her reaction was? I don't know what that means. Most dads have been wearing the same jeans for 15, 20 years. Not because they love them, but because shopping for pants is a chore they've been putting off. The jeans are stiff. They're unflattering.

They gap at the back. They're pulling at the thighs. I don't, the stiff jeans I don't get. People will buy jeans and never wash them. And I'm like, don't you want like one clean, soft, nice jeans? They say, you wash them every 10 times or something? That is... You don't like that?

I mean, I'll... It's possible I've gone ten times, but whatever. I don't think so, though. Like, what is the point in out washing jeans? Some people put them in the freezer? Freezer, huh? Yeah, you never heard that one before? Yeah.

Yeah, some people, like, put jeans in the freezer to clean them. Probably because it kills the bacteria. Yeah. The order closing bacteria. I've heard that before. Huh? Really? Yeah.

Never heard that. Let's see here. Just ask Ming Chen about that. Yeah, I'm going to have to ask Ming. Ming is more of a perf... Yeah. Yeah, because anytime I wear jeans I've worn jeans by some nice jeans

and Ming is always like, hey, are those blah, blah, blah? He always knows. And I'm like, what's the name of this? Perfect jeans. And I'm like, no, Ming, they're perfect jeans. And he thinks they're more expensive than they are. Oh, dude, let me tell you something. Are they actually worth $7,99? Most jeans at this price cut corners where you can't see them and the perfect gene doesn't.

They have the best zippers in the world, which are YKKK zippers. So the one that snags on your current pair, gone. The belt loops. You don't want them starting to pull away, do you? No. No. These are reinforced. Nice.

Higher stitches per inch throughout. The difference between a seam that holds and one that slowly gives out at the worst possible moment. It's like that scene in Hudsucker proxy when he's hanging out the building. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Double.

Oh, you know, I give him double scenes. Thank you for that current reference, get him. That was that 93, 94, that movie? You have not much to say when you're dropping Charlie Chan. You really can't go back. I was going to cut that out. Way more current than that. They have deep pockets that can fit your phone, your keys, your wallet, without that

weird bulge that ruins the whole silhouette. Waste from 26 to 52. Lengths from 26 to 38. Six fits from skinny to thick. 13 washes. That's over 5,000 combinations, which means the guy who's been buying a size up in waist just to get the room in the thighs, guys who's been heming every pair he owns, and the guy who's been told by every other brand that his body is the problem. The real answer.

I assure you my body is the problem. Here's a 245 pound guy who wrote normally when I buy jeans. I have to, the waist is 40 and the legs in the butter are huge. But with the perfect jeans, he's able to wear size 38 due to the stretchy quality and the fit is awesome. Let's see.

And then we just got one more. Not a new one, one from last week. Because I walked in this week, Q. And Walt was like, who is that blue collar guy? Oh, so these are the boots? These are the boots. Oh, wow. Yeah, whoa.

Yeah. Look at that. I like them a lot. I really do. Bet you could stand for surgery for hours in those. You probably could. You know what I appreciate that they have the, they don't have the holes for the top two lace.

They have those brackets that you just wrap it around. That makes it so much easier, the top ones being that. Agreed. How long did you have to wear them before you, like, break them in? You don't have to wear them at all. They're broken in already. That's one of the beautiful things. No blisters.

No blisters. Let's see. Where is it here? It's somewhere in here. Oh, my God. print is so small. Even with those classes, I can't read it. This gear is for trade workers. It's mostly for blue collar guys.

Let's see. Hosts will share their first experience with Brunt boots, how they felt pulling them out of the box. Would surprise me the most. The comfort, the weight, or the flexibility. You're going to ask me to pick one. Brunt, come on now. That's unfair. They asked us to show them on camera, but we don't have a camera. Blue collar roots. Founder Eric Gerard grew up in the trades.

He built Brunt because legacy brands stopped listening and became fashion companies. That's true. Every product is named after a real tradesman that helped design the gear. Tough first comfortable. Most boots force you to choose one or the other, but Brunt built gear is tough as hell, but comfortable on day one. I got to admit, they are very comfortable. They're very soft. They don't, like, there's no pinching parts or any of that kind of shit.

And we didn't get any brunts. Did you order Bruntz? I didn't give them my sizes yet. Oh. We were asked to say. Oh, I had to give your size. Yeah. I sent you that thing.

And you said, I don't like boots. Yeah, Walt's the size 12. Mine. Well, you got to pick the model you want to. I'm going to get those cowboy boots once. Pretty nice. Yeah. Pretty cool.

You say those boots would be made for walking? I would say so. Sure would. Oh, boy. You're going backwards. You're going backwards, bro. It's how proud he was when he said it. That's the fun part.

Like, he got a real soft of stuff. Would you say those boots are made for walking? Home run. Let's see. The Maren like Karen and the Omen like Omin, zero break-in. No weeks of blisters. They feel good the second you pull them out of the box. High-quality build without the heavy, uncomfortable feel of traditional work boots.

I didn't see any. That's what I'm looking for. You're looking for some thigh-hyes? Thigh-high work boots. They do make that. I have seen like ones I go up to your knees practically. Yeah, when I'm delivering door dash, I want to make sure. completely protected.

Strut up to the door. There might be rattlesnakes hidden in the... Hidden in the bushes. Brunt is celebrating America's 250th anniversary with a special collection of limited edition gear.

Yeah. I'm not the Brunt intermediary. Because you said you didn't give Brigh your shoe size. And I'm like, no, no, no, you didn't give them your shoe size. If I responded to the text, Brunt would have known? No, no, you have to fill it.

You tap the thing. It's a chrome. like a, not a chrome, but like a safari. All you have to do is tap something and then put in your sizes and you're good. You would look awesome in those cowboy boots. Yeah, I would.

Thank you, Brunt. See they got the eagle on the side there? if they would be willing to do a four-color demons logo. You could only ask. Yeah. That's the only thing you can do. Because then we would have an official boot.

Oh, that would be great. Oh, are you kidding me? It would be awesome. That's a good idea. I can burn it in like a brand. Like, you know, see, yeah, the brunch. Yeah. Write the company.

Yeah, like if we sent you something, could you burn it in for us? Like that would be cool. All right. Well, ask them. Who's going to ask them? I'll text. I'll have Mary Beth do it. All right.

What's the proper footwear, I imagine not a lot of doctors wear boots to work, right? Or there's more like a more... Well, they all wear crocs. We wear, like, dance goes or clogs. Something comfortable? Yeah. Like brunt? Yeah.

But I have seen a couple of residents wear cowboy boots sometimes. Oh, yeah? Especially the ones from the Midwest. Now, you go your doctors wearing cowboy boots fault. You trust them more. Or I don't think I'd be so terrified. Stand on, our partner. Let me check that.

Roll it for you. Roll it home, doggy, we. You got to rope that prostate right here. I don't think I'd even notice his shoes what he's wearing. I'd be, just so, like, the anxiety would be through the roof just being in a doctor's office. So he could be wearing nothing. Not really. I mean, bare feet.

I mean, bare feet. Although I might notice bare feet. Yeah, probably one. A work boot store next to us. Yeah, can you buy? I don't even know if you can buy Brunt not online. Oh, yeah, Brunt Rees bestsellers online. Oh, they have a lot of stores.

Select retail stores. Yeah. Looks like there's one in Edison. One in Edison, huh? Oh, well, well. That's nearby us. All right. Walt, sorry for interrupting.

I know you had another question for Dr. Day. I didn't know if I asked you the last time you're here. Do you have a favorite moment as a doctor, like a moment that, like, man, this one, I'll hold on to her for a while. It felt so good. When you got that diploma, you're like, I'm done with medical school. Oh, gosh. It's a hard question because you have a lot of good moments.

I think that when I would say there's not one experience, but I think when you run, I think the one thing that I have always, like, for Ken remembers, is when someone would, like, code or stop basically trying to die. Their heart would stop or they'd stop breathing. The times where I was successful in bringing them back, like, I feel. like that was like... How many times have you done that? A lot. Because I worked in the ICU for 10 years and those are the sickest of the sick. And have you ever met anybody

who was like, what the fuck? I was dead. No. No. No one has ever done that to me. Nobody was happy. And a lot of people that you saved don't remember because they're out of it. They're so sick. They have no memories. Maybe they went, like, did anything or like a religious experience where they were in heaven and said, did they recount anything like that to you? No, I haven't had anyone tell me anything like that.

But I think those particular moments are the ones that you, the reason that you do what you do, like, you know, they always stick with you. Sorry, are you using those electrical like, like, that thing, that thing. So when you, so usually the nurse, the nurse does that for you when you run the code because the nurses are your team. So you stand at the edge of the bed and you watch the monitor and you tell, and it's protocol. You have to tell everybody what to do. So this nurse does this. You push this drug. you do this and then someone would probably be doing CPR and then you're watching the monitor,

assessing the rhythm and then giving the drug as you see fit. So like one time it was like as simple as like a woman had she just was sitting up and she just went out and he looked at the monitor. It was a specific arrhythmia. I said to the nurse, like give this drug. I gave the drug right back. That's like a really baby aspirin. Tick-tack.

No, but it was like those are the experiences that are really rewarding and those are the ones you remember, but you don't have one moment that sticks out. Do you ever do the thing with the compressions? You do sometimes. Yeah. Like, you know, if you don't have any help in you're by yourself, but usually people come to your aid and help you. I know one time we had the paddles and we almost all died because it was my first coat I ever ran. And we went to, we had to take the patient from the cardiac floor to the ICU. you in the middle of the night. So all of the nurses and myself shoved at the patient in the elevator

and tried to get down on the bottom floor, which the, her heart stopped again. So we had the shocker again. But then I realized we're inside a metal box with the paddles. We're all going to get electrocuted. So the nurse goes to turn the machine on. And I was like, and I don't know, maybe we wouldn't have got electrocuted, but I thought of it. And I'm like, stop. Everybody off the elevator. So we got off the service elevator. Went out into the hallway. Shocked the patient. and then went back in the elevator and went down. Would they have been electrician again? I would get their own a gurney?

We're in a metal box. Were you on a gurney though? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I said the gurney's probably grounded. Grounded, yeah. You think? Or, sorry, insulated.

Yeah, so like those types of experiences you never forget because they're successful. Did you ever lose a patience out? You were like, fuck. Good riddance. Yeah. You kind of did a half-fast job. You did everything that you could. You did everything that you could.

but like when they died, you were like, fuck off. Yeah, good. Fuck off to the afterlife. There is. You can tell. No, no. That wasn't an incident. No.

I think of certain experiences where people have, like, called me obscenities. Like, you know, like, there's people who just be like, get out of my room, bitch. Like, or, like, because they don't want to be bothered or they have mental health issues. Or they don't want you to be discharged, you don't want, they don't want you to discharge everyone in the hospital because then they're going to be out in the street. So they're combative towards you because they don't want your help. those are the people I'm not sad to see go because there's only so much verbal abuse that you can take it one day before you're like

I don't feel like doing this time. Tell that to America. But yeah, I mean, there's no one I've wished ill on, but there's some people where you're just like, good, get them out of here. They're so abusive. You're saying get them out of the hospital. I'm talking about getting out of this world.

Get out of life. Only the good die young. So usually the people that are nasty live forever. They're hard to kill. Do you find that some nurses are too big for their britches. I always hear about nurses being like, we do all the work,

the doctors don't do shit. So there's usually one or two that you don't get along with, and that's personality conflicts. But they're like your lifeline. Because I would just, I would be on call by myself for the night in the ICU.

I would just peek in the door and see who was working that night. And if I saw the bitch of, like some of the bitches that were working, I'm like, no! But then if I saw all my girls that I liked or guys, were nurses at the time, I would be like, yes, my favorite nurses are here and it's going to be

so good because we all get along. Then there's the ones that want to fight you for some reason. And you're like, come on, can we just get along so this night goes faster? So you mentioned that that first time you were, it was your, you were in charge of somebody the code, the code. So like that shift like was there like you knew that sooner or later it's going to happen. Like you're sooner or later, this is going to happen and you're going to have to be the one to like start barking out all the orders. So, yeah. Is that kind of like, just like, waiting for that moment?

Because it's going, evidently it's going to happen. Like, do you rather have it happen right away? Or is the longer it goes, the more you get in your head? I mean, um, every code blue in the hospital you have to go to. So it could happen five times a day. It could happen zero, zero times. It really depends on, it's literally luck of the draw. But,

I'd rather get it over early because the later it gets in the day, no one's around. No, I meant that first time it's your, like, you know, like you're on your own. You're on your own. Like, this is going to be your, like, you're in charge. You're running the show. Yeah. It actually, that's funny. You say that the first night I wasn't on call by myself.

It happened, like within one hour of the shift. And that was the elevator incident. I'll never forget that. Because I was like, man, like, one hour, just already one hour into the shift and I already have to do this, but it's part of the job. And fortunately, you've a lot of people there to help you. The nurses know what to do. But it is kind of scary being the one in charge of it all. And it's like you can't slip up. When I seen it on scrubs, like you have to make the call, like you have to make the pronouncement that they're gone. Yeah. So after a while,

if you know, because you know, you have to say enough's enough. Like stop, everybody stop trying. But you usually try as hard as you can as for as much as you can. But after a while, when things stop working, they stop working. Have you ever had to deliver, like, in Scrubs? Like they have to deliver to the family. Like bad, bad news. Have you ever been? Had to go out to the waiting room?

All the time. Yeah. So can I tell you this is what I used to be so shy and scared. One night in the middle of the night, 40 family members came into the family room because one of the mother of the family, the matron, a family was ill. And the nurse came in and said, you need to, I need you to go out and talk to these people. So I'm like, oh, it's probably, you know, like a one or two people. Son and daughter.

40 people who I don't know, crying, eating food. Everyone's hanging out in this family room and I'm like, oh, my God. Like, I have to tell them. I have to tell them that it's like really not going well. Like, once you get maxed out on four medications and you're not. getting any better. What's left? Magic, you know? So 40... That's what you said to them? I'm like, you guys believe in magic. So I just said, listen, it's not going well.

We're doing everything we can. I lay it out on the table. I will continue to try for the rest of the night as hard as I can. But I can't promise you that this is going to have a good outcome. I apologize in advance if it doesn't, but I will keep you posted every hour. Talking in front of 40 people who are all edged up because we're not. I don't know what the word is, like, amped up because they're worried is like, you know, you're sweating through your scrubs. Because you're like, oh, my God, don't know. I'm like, that's when you get, you're not afraid to talk in front of people anymore after that. You get, you do it so much that it kind of becomes, as long as you're being honest and start to enjoy it.

No, you don't ever enjoy it. I'll take this one. No, no, no, me, me, me. I think that's, you get better at it. See, I think I. I think I would be so loathe. I couldn't, like, you're, you kind of told him like, it's not looking good. I would, I would see that, that sorrow and that sadness.

And I would be, I would be, I know I would be inclined to be like, it's going to be okay. It's going to be good. We're going to be hot. He's fine. He's fine. He came out of that room. I'm like, he'll be going home soon. Give him another 10 years.

Can you ask it in four hours? What? Can you ask it in four hours? I'm often three. You have, your nature is to try to do that, but you can't. You can't tell someone when it's, it's going to be all right, when it's not going to be all right. So you have to just, like, hide it. You can't say it.

You just got to be brutally honest. You say you have to lay the facts on the table, and you have to be honest, and push down that sugar coating. you can't sugarcoat life and death. Like, you just can't. You are fucked. So is your mother. Maybe I've ever seen anybody like sugarcoat it and then have to like kind of go out and then say, you know, because I would, I know I would be. I would be like, as bad as it seems.

I've, most of the bit. What is death anyway, really? Most of the time I've worked in the middle of the night on these situations, like you're by yourself. There's no other doctors there to run the unit but you. So, you know, I don't really witness other doctors make. speeches like stuff i don't know i think a lot of i'm sure you have to go out though and deliver good news too yeah that's the great part like yeah i mean a lot of there's been a lot of great calls and a lot of saves and those are the ones where you're like oh yes good yeah but there's a lot

of bad ones too the people that are go to the intensive care unit or the six people in the hospital and 50% of them probably won't make it or maybe less than that don't quote me on that Yeah, really? I would say it depends on the situation. He's got a 50-50 chance. I would say maybe that might have been a little bit high. I would say maybe 30. Maybe 30.

Yeah, because a lot of people wait too long to seek out medical care. And those are the ones that are in the most trouble. Yeah. How do you leave it at the office? I know you mentioned you like to watch funny TV. Yeah. Like a practical jokers. Mm-hmm.

Thursday, Thursdays, 10 p.m. CBS. CBS. Very funny. If you're a doctor, if you've just told the family that... Highest rated original people died. You just go ahead. You want some good ha-haz.

Just go ahead. Is that how you manage it? How do you leave it fair? So, like, when you go home, do you talk about it? Make it about me, feed me. I think if it's really... I think if it's really bad, it's hard to leave it all there. Like if you have some really bad days, it's hard to leave it all behind.

but I think, you know, distractions are always good, you know. What do you use to distract yourself? Do you go on it? Like walks? Yeah, I like being a hot bath, Frank Five style. No, I'm just kidding. I would say probably just comedy. I like to be outside.

I like to exercise. I like to run, like go running and stuff just to kind of clear my head. Because if you're focusing on trying to run and not die, you can't think of much else. So, yeah, I think I have healthy distractions. Do you try and find, like, the beauty and everyday things? Like, if you're a golden corral and you see that chocolate fountain, are you like, this is beautiful. This is God's work.

Yeah, this is, I'm seeing the symmetry of the Lord's work in this. Yeah, I think you appreciate things a little bit differently when you get to leave and go home and all those people don't that are still there. And you're like, yeah, I get to. Suck my ass, people. I'm going to golden corral. Check you later. I've heard Tetris can.

Oh, like games like that. Yeah. Solitaire and stuff is good. Just mind-lusting. Yeah. Do you ever feel like, you ever see malice, Alec Baldwin? He's a doctor. There's a great speech in it where like somebody's like, hey, like you act like God

and in the surgery room. At the very end, he's just like, you know, you ask if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something. I am God. He goes, when people are praying for their family to get through a surgery, who do you think they're praying to? Yeah. They're praying to me.

You ever feel that way? It's great. You should watch it. I never feel that way. It's a great speech. Yeah. I don't ever feel that way. I just don't.

I don't know why. I don't think like that. I'm not wired. I don't think I'm wired. I don't think I'm that great. There's always someone better than me. No. I don't know.

No? You don't thank you. Somebody's got to be the best. That was so sweet. But there's always someone better than you. I agree. That's so many ways. That's what my parents told me.

I got to set you straight boy. Yeah, let's get the facts out early. Do you resent Google? Do you resent Google more or the AI more? Well, they do tell patients wrong things. Like, you've probably seen things where it was like, there was this one thing that someone was showing me where it said, it's probably inappropriate,

but they Googled something. It was like, yes, you can steam your balls to get the wrinkles out of them. And you just use an iron or steamer. This was on Google. I think Gwyneth Paltrow advertised that. So if it's going to go that far in telling people to do stuff like that, because I think this was a real thing I saw on Instagram. Jesus.

That people will read it and be like, yeah, that's the right thing. It's on the Internet. Yeah, it's not. Now, granted, if you're like you really need medical. Like, how smooth do you need them? The recommendations you mean? No, Walt's had no complaints so far. The balls, I mean.

Smooth. No, no, no, they're not. But I'm like, how smooth do you need them? Right, right. I think it's, that's all... I like a little texture on the balls. I think that's, yeah, it depends on what... I think when I'm freezing and they're shrunk up, so it's not that big.

Nice. I'm young again. Stanley Steamer. Call Stanley Steamer. That is something that, like, an internet crazed. I just, I had, I'll give you an example. I had a woman who came in for a sick visit. She ate everything that I should have done for her.

And before I even could assess her, she handed me the phone and said, this is what I need to do. And I was like, so I turned the phone down and I said, why don't we just talk? And then I'll examine you. And then we'll see if my recommendations match the phone. And they did. So that was an example of where she probably knew what she was getting herself into, et cetera. But that's a dangerous line to tell if you don't really know what you're doing. Because if you don't go to the doctor and you're like, oh, just do this.

You could end up dead. And if you're a hypochondriac, like. If you're hypochondriac, then you were dead yesterday because you see the most horrible thing. It's going to tell you the worst thing ever. So, I mean, respect for educating yourself, but you should check in with a professional at the same time. Yeah. All right. Good advice from Dr. D.

Yeah? I want to ask you personally, I think I did Google this. Okay. Can I borrow $10? All right, 20. I googled what I think I might have. Uh-oh. And it's a mild case of aquagenic uroticaria.

Have you heard of this? I might be pronouncing it wrong. Most definitely probably. I'm mangling that word. I've never heard of it. It is an extremely rare condition when someone may be allergic to water. And I think I have a mild case of it because, like, I just can't, like, I'm in this, I've had this for four hours. I can't drink at all.

Because you're in pain? No, because I feel like I get full. I don't think I absorb water like a natural person. But last week you were talking about the parks. I know, but it was an effort, though. Walk across the water like a lizard and shit. I was, but at the cost of like, it took hours to get to that state where I was hydrated enough. But it says you would present with an actual allergic reaction.

Yeah, I feel like I'm like a bloated allergic reaction. I don't think so. No, okay. Just a pussy. Maybe you have a little bit of acid reflux, and it's causing the water to make it worse. Really? Pushing the acid up a little more, so you're not, like, doing well with it. But I don't have it, like, for other liquids, though.

Really? Yeah, like. Oh, yeah, he could down grape aid, like nothing. Yeah, grape aid goes down so easy. I could drink grape aid, like, I could drink, like 15 bottles and not feel any flush. But only found coke. Not canned Coke I don't know

I've never heard of that I think you would have a more systemic reaction For the I said mild Mild Mild You know But again

I would have to research it Let you know But I don't It's very rare too though And what's the odds that I have Probably low Right I have I'd like to get your advice on something

Sure How many nights in a row Could I take Advil PMs To help me fall asleep Before we're looking at an issue So the only thing that I would be worried about with the Advil PM is the Advil part because the Advil is not great for your blood pressure in your kidneys. So if you take too much Advil, a leave or an aproxin, you can get kidney issues.

So three full bottles worth night after night. Wait, what? No, like I've gone through three bottles. Oh. Just I'm taking two a night. Two a night may not hurt you, but I don't think it's a great habit. Okay, so just get the pills that's just asleep and stuff. Or talk to your doctor about maybe something.

else that you could get? Yeah, you know, he gave me some stuff. Talk to your friend about some zanis. Yeah. You could just pound some. He gave me some zanis to sleep. It'll work great, but they don't want to give you the jannies. Have you tried melatonin?

Talk to Dr. Bray. I've tried melatonin. I've done shit for me. The only thing that does is some PMs. You could borrow some of my PMS. Give me my PM. God damn it.

It takes me like 40 milligrams of melatonin to kind of slow me out. No, melatonin don't do it for me. I've tried it. It won't do it. You're not even supposed to take that much. No. Yeah.

You're in a slow motion already. Why do you need to slow down? It's everything to help him fall asleep. Because you're sleeping constantly. Not what I'm supposed to be. I don't get to sleep to like four or five o'clock in the morning. Because you're sleeping all day. That's because I'm not getting to sleep to four or five o'clock in the morning.

Why are you making this about you? I'm trying to get medical advice and you just fucking turning it to you. What about the volcano? Jesus Christ, man. I wouldn't do the Advil part. Okay, so just get, but if I just take those, the people, pills that's without the Advil, I don't have you heard this before, but it makes my palms itchy for some reason. With the Benadry portion?

No, yeah, the dip the, that stuff. Yeah, that's Benadry. If I just take those pills, like my, my palms start itching. If I do it with the PMS. If I do it with a little bit of react, like an allergic reaction to it. But if I take it in the PMS with that in it, it doesn't happen. Oh, because it is an inflammatory. Oh, yeah.

So. 148. Doctor 148. Doctor 148. Pageing, Doctor 148, pageing, Doctor 148. You might have a little bit of allergy. I'm mad enough to apologize when I'm wrong at. I would say you're probably maybe a little bit,

you might have a little bit of an allergy to Benadryl, which is odd. Okay. But, I mean, that's definitely a symptom. But they're supposed to take for allergies, right? Yeah. Like my father had to, where he took the heparin and it got blood clots from it. Yeah, a heparin allergy. Oof.

I would just, I really would be careful with the Advil situation. Would you rather I take Xanax? That could be addictive. Yeah. So, I'm taking it every night anyways. There are some other things, too, that are mild. You can get prescriptions for it from your doctor. Like, what would you suggest?

Like, there's Sonata, there's, um. I don't want to take that wacky shit that makes you Twitter race the stuff at 1 a.m. No. Be for Sad Island. Yeah, that really, fuck it. You know, that brought down a few people over a year. There's like varying degrees. Like, some of them are like,

straight up tranquilizers, but other ones are just like a little sprinkle of something. What about that stuff Michael Jackson took? Yeah. Proopal. Yeah. Proopal. What's out? What is it?

The stuff Michael Jackson took to fall. Yeah. Hey, man. At this point. You'd have to rob a hospital to get your hands on propofall. So. Michael Q is on propofol again. You might be famous enough for a listener who works in the hospital that starts

sneaking out pro pro pro. Yeah. That's great. Was that doctor still around or did he get out of jail? What doctor? The doctor that? Oh, Michael Jackson's doctor? Yeah.

Michael Jackson's doctor. Oh. I think he's out. People think he's still alive and not really dead. Michael Jackson or the doctor? Michael Jackson. There's conspiracy theories that he never really died. Wow.

He just wanted to get away from everyone. Would a Claudevambeul reference be a little too dated? Probably. Probably. To obscure. It is. Talk to your doc, Hugh. Yeah.

You're having a problem sleeping, huh? I can't sleep anymore unless I take something. Cerequil? Yeah. That's an antipsychotic. Yeah, I know. So we won't go crazy because we'll sleep. Side effects, you just have to figure it out.

I don't know anything about your medical history, but there's other things out there. Nitris? And don't look on screens late at night either. I don't really pretty good about that. Okay, good. Well, yeah, I'm pretty good about it. I usually read. What about if you exercise for bed?

Yeah. What's that? Exercise before bed. Well, to do that, I have to exercise at all. So I got to start that. It's just hard. When we're shooting the show, it's like. On a treadmill before you go to that.

Yeah, I know it's, I know, you're right. Do you drink a lot of coffee? I don't drink any coffee. I drink tea. I drink a lot of tea. It might be caffeine too. Yeah. But I usually try and stop that, you know, reasonable times.

Maybe try a nighttime tea, like when it has a... Sleepy time tea. Yeah. Oh, God, you pussy. Sleepy time tea. I'll just take my Coke. Yeah. I'll drink my Coke and do it.

But you got them zanis? Not on me. No, I know. Yeah, yeah. Zanis work real well. And finally I have, have you ever treated something called hairy tongue disease? No, but I've seen it in textbooks. You've seen it, huh?

Not in real life, only in pictures. Yeah, like you sprout green hairs on your tongue. They're black. They could be green, black. Oh, really? I've never seen the greed show. Yeah. Vern Jordy.

Is that like, that has to be probably one of the biggest challenges. Oh, my God. Somebody came in with that. You can't. have a visceral reaction. You have to pretend like you've seen it like yesterday. Oh, yeah, I have a couple patients with hairy tongue disease. No big deal.

You have to lie to them, right? So you kind of have to be a little bit of an actor at times because you can't react. Like, if you see something seriously messed up, you're like, oh, okay. Like, sure. Look at this disgusting shit. Well, it says, though, yeah, he's not staying. He can help it. That's what this is saying.

It's not staying hydrated. It happens a lot to people who are in nursing homes that don't get proper hygiene. Okay. It's like not that specifically. As if you're not old and gross enough. I know. Life is not fair. But if you're not getting proper like care of your mouth, sometimes you can see stuff like that.

I don't want to ever be, I don't want to ever hear like, hey, can we take a picture your tongue for a medical journal? I want to do a case study on you. I would think, though, out of all of us at table, it wouldn't be a big deal if you had hairy tongue. Because like you stick your tongue out, it just blends in with the. beard. Yeah, nobody would even look at it and be like, yeah. It's kind of like, oh, yeah, I mean, makes sense. They would just thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.

They were like, no, that's just his beard. Yeah, I've never seen, I mean, I've seen similar things to that. It's a very simple procedure. You just, I think you just got to scrape your tongue. Yeah, and brush your teeth more and eat foods that are not soft. Like people that are just on, like, baby food type diets, get it. Are there people on baby food type diets? Like older people?

Yeah. Oh, okay. Yes. So. It would all be avoid if they just brush their teeth. And eat foods that are not, like, they have a little bit more of a texture to it. But she's saying that elderly people, I guess it's harder for them. When they don't have teeth.

They might not even have teeth. Yeah. Oh, so like there's nothing to, like, get the shit off the tongue? So you don't, yeah, sometimes you need that texture to get things going. Like a good pretzel or something. Yeah. Some cereal. Salt on it.

There you go. Cheezed up. Buttery. Oh. Why is my cholesterol? There's no antians in the nursing home. That is all I have. That's all I kind of like, you know, went through all my questions I had.

These are the kind of questions I would go if I was seeing a doctor today. I would be, it's not about me, Doc. I want to hear if you ever treat a hairy tongue. Well, if you ever, I can be your chaperone if you want me to do your doctor's experience. I will sit there with you and protect you and make sure they don't abuse you if you want me to. You know what? It's all called Boyle. down to just my own issues.

It's not really the doctors. It's more about just that fear and anxiety. I can't get over it. You will one day. Now, ethically, do you have to announce that you're a doctor? Are you like one of those people who like follows somebody and like they speak language that they don't think the other person speaks? Like, would you admit to the doctor that you know everything? I don't sometimes tell certain doctors that I see that I'm a doctor.

Okay. Because they say, well, what do you want to do? And I'm like, no, what do you want to do? You're the verse that I'm here to see. What's that oath you guys take? Hippocratic. And that's like the green lantern oath, right? Blackest day and darkest night, you guys can't.

Except it's real. They don't have to say it every morning. When I put all my cape in the morning, I recited. I shall do no harm. You guys treat that with like, it's the most utmost respect. and, you know, I believe you have to, right? Yeah. At graduation, before you get your diploma,

we all have to get, like, we all have to say it out loud together and make that promise. And let's see you see a, what's it called one, a colleague, let's say you saw a colleague break it. Do you have to report them? I've done it. Whoa!

Dr. D. the rat. Whoa. Brick out the cheese. It gets stitches a lot easier at us. I'm not scared. You can have to stick yourself up. If you do the right thing, you will not be, you will not be penalized. Now, did you do that anonymously?

Did you in their face be like, for the board? Who royally screwed me over with a case that he did not. So it was vengeance. I get that. I'm with you. Yeah. I, it was something that was very wrong. thankfully

I was able to He fucked a corpse And then posted it online Check me out Live stream No I just He did something That was inappropriate

And broke the oath In a way I don't think he I think it was out of In a way that I were to report In a way that I think was negligent Okay So and when it came

On my In my world to fix I confronted him. I said, you did this and it was wrong. And I said, I'm going to have to talk to someone about this because it's not something that can happen again. And he was like, oh, it was a misunderstanding. And I said, there's no misunderstandings when it's right in front of you. Was it more delicious because he made your life hard? Well, he called me and he kept calling me telling me to take it back. And I said, I said, no. kids like take it back you mean you can't break them now in the report like take back what take back

the fact that you said I did this and I said no absolutely not did he pay a price like I think that he may have not he may not be there anymore really and it wasn't anything it was it was only a medical thing it was straight medical I don't want anyone to think it was like a sexual harassment thing that was a whole other podcast about that kind of stuff in the hospital but I think that if you see someone that did something, I mean, the days of doctors, like being jiggilose is that, like, what we saw in the 70s and 80s on TV, like, you know, like general hospital or everyone's just,

everybody's having an affair. That's not the case anymore, right, in hospitals? I wouldn't agree with that. Yeah, that's not my understanding. I know they're strong. It's still a, it's still a social group. A lot of infidelity going on in hospitals, right? Oh, my God. And I don't really want to say this when my husband to get mad,

but, like, everybody, hits on everybody all the time. The janitors, the janitors, even the janitors, everybody hits on everybody. They're in play too. Not that they shouldn't be, but like, you're a sexy janitor, yeah, but like, I would imagine nurses like want doctors. You're with these people all day and they're just seeing what sticks. One of the times you're going to hit on someone and someone's going to say, yeah, sure. Well, it's also like you're working together, long hours. Yeah. Stress. Yeah. You got to relieve that stress right, get them. Yeah.

Somehow. It still happened. I thought that was, yeah. Lute you a gold. I thought that was amped up for television. No, it still happens. For like the nighttime dramas, the St. Elsewheres. No, it's true.

For everybody's. Yars. Everything's romantic. I mean, most of the day you're working, but I think there are, it definitely happens a lot more than you would think. Wow. Yeah. I'm trying to become a doctor, man. I don't think so.

But I think it's. Oh, he's shutting me down. I'm just a patient. What about a janitor? Tell him, Steve, Dave.
