Hey kids you are about to listen to a
comedy podcast that means that none of
this is medical advice if you need
medical advice or medical care please
contact your doctor
Welcome to the jock doc podcast
featuring Dr. London Smith he’s healthy
and fit and his podcast is lit
introducing your host dr. London hello
and welcome to the jock doc podcast
where we discuss fitness and health and
how to incorporate our modern
understanding of science and medicine
into our daily lives but without it
being so boring I’m your host dr. London
smith (.com) I would like to begin by
apologizing to our listeners we have
received some feedback about the
excessive amount of technical medical
terms that I’ve been using such as
calcaneal compression tests and good
old-fashioned home-cooked meal so I will
try to temper my terminology to a
simpler one in the future here to help
with that is our producer Cameron that’s
right dr. London I am here to help all
right
so Cameron is so dead exciting sure I’m
sorry what was that just say I’m helpful
okay Cameron is so dedicated to making
water that our podcast stays relevant
well that Oh what why can’t you say it
that I’m helpful
oh no Cameron you are you are helpful
yeah you provide these the mics and okay
and the long pause was just because
there were too many words you were
thinking of that just to pick one was
too difficult no is this coming from up
from something are you upset with me
about some no I just I mentioned that I
was here to help and then you didn’t say
oh you’re so helpful which usually when
I when I tell someone I’m here to help
they
you know congratulate me and sort of
kind of praise me for being so helpful
you don’t do that because for me
whenever you say I’m here to help that’s
I’m here job oh yeah must I help right
now can you say you’re you’re not gonna
help right now
I’m here to help at some point when it
works with my schedule yes so you are
because whenever you say you are here to
help I think you’re physically present
here so you must be here to help like
that that puts it in context to me I
show up to my job every single day and I
say hey boss I’m here to help now I
cannot guarantee when that help is going
to be done does that make sense
not not really also you have a job yeah
my job as the podcast producer okay okay
so I show up to my job every single day
which is your house and I say to my boss
which is you I’m here to help you notice
how I do that every day at your house I
is this well I’m gone I don’t know I
have no idea it’s so dark okay well yeah
I turn the lights off when I’m gone okay
so Cameron is so dedicated to making
sure that our podcast stays relevant
that when he heard that it was dr.
Seuss’s birthday he went to his shed and
he began working on something for what
he turned the good doctor sir Cameron
any update on that project building a
shed wait was i building a shed I was
not building a shed okay I was building
just a device okay and what was the
device well you know this good doctor
right the one from the TV show well
that’s different from dr. Seuss I don’t
know if you’re aware so if there’s a
good doctor guy if he’s you know he’s
like
is he the one that’s kind of an asshole
or is he the one that’s kind of weird I
can’t remember I I’m not I’m not sure
well either way we can just like fix him
with this device this was the whole idea
I bring it onto set of the good doctor
go to this lake fixes him you go to this
guy who’s clearly got issues he’s either
really angry or he’s autistic I don’t
remember which show is this one but
either way the device is just sort of a
fixing machine so it’s kind of figure
out what the issue is how does it fix
them like what does it do well that’s
the I’m still dead this is the part I’m
still working on giving it purpose no
giving it the ability to do what I’m
setting it out to do which is to fix the
issues okay in people okay so and then
once I figure that part out that’s
really it that’s like I’m basically one
step away once I figure out how to get
the device to fix people then it then it
then I’m golden okay okay well so anyway
so 90% done to clarify regarding dr.
Seuss’s birthday dr. Seuss aka Theodor
Seuss Geisel he was an American
children’s author who is most widely
known for writing and illustrating more
than 60 books under the pen name dr.
Seuss and so that’s the doctor I thought
you were referring to anyway also with
us is DJ Dylan in da house
I’m here to help I’m here to help I’m
here to help I’m here to help so I will
try to temper my terminology to a
simpler terminology temper my
terminology to a simpler terminology yes
and later Cameron tells me that we can
expect a special guest that’s right dr.
London right so go ahead and look
forward to that before we move on I
would like to address a bit of listener
feedback I found this note presumably
from a listener carved into the table
under the spot where my prescription pad
used to be the note reads quote don’t
forget tomorrow starts the new Facebook
rule where they can use your photos
don’t forget deadlines today it can be
used in court cases and litigation
against you everything you’ve ever
posted becomes public from today even
messages that have been deleted or
photos not allowed it costs nothing for
a simple copy and paste better safe than
sorry I do not give Facebook or any
entities associated with Facebook
permission to use my pictures
information messages or posts both past
and future end quote
whoo I can’t wait for that day the day
when all the pictures become public okay
think about the advertising we can do
dr. London once that day happens take
any picture you find online once this
magic day happens where the day comes
and goes and then there’s just no
copyrights anymore on pictures we can
make a little like Robert Downey jr.
went to your doctor’s office dr. London
okay so you think the Photoshop ability
from private photos is the the big game
from this for us yeah if what they’re
saying is true which this isn’t the
first time I’ve heard this so I have to
leave it’s true yes then after a certain
day if all these people who don’t post
this important message that used to
repost who their images aren’t going to
be protected so that means any celebrity
dr. London Oh Paris Hilton what came on
the podcast oh how can I prove that that
was real picture okay I don’t want to be
dishonest in our advertisements you know
I’d rather be you know we tell people
it’s a medical education podcast and I
can I usually leave it at that okay well
if you wanted honesty and our
advertising you should have mentioned
that a long time ago cuz we’re that ship
has sailed
well what are you currently advertising
us as our just whatever gets clicks baby
I do this listener I’d like to thank you
so much for your insightful question
here on the jock Dawg podcast we love to
hear from my listeners um to answer your
question I am not sure how much of your
personal information Facebook uses but
from what I understand it is more than
what most people wish to think about so
for example at the ignoring everything
you just said I wasn’t listening but so
part of my the advertising I’ve been
doing which is a lie but it has been
effective as you know they did Daytona
500 happened recently and I was
advertising there and I was telling its
audience targeted advertising if you go
see dr. London he’ll make you fast as a
racecar okay so you’re just perfect for
that audience don’t you think so
I mean we’re eating it up they loved it
it’s promising something that that we
can’t really deliver though that is your
that is for you to figure out
and also so advertising for the podcast
isn’t advertising for my practice those
are two separate things
yeah it’s all-encompassing anything that
helps the practice helps the podcast
anything that helps the podcast helps
the practice it’s all it’s all one giant
blob I’m not I’m not so sure but
anyway to this listener thank you for
listening and now for a tale from the
clinic I had a patient present to me
with some issues of constipation so I
began to ask him about his usual bowel
habits like how often he normally has
bowel movements how much water he drinks
things of that nature
and then he took out a notebook in that
notebook for three years of bowel
movement documentation including details
of color quantity and even texture which
is which isn’t that weird let’s let’s
live it that’s a normal thing that I
think most people do it kind of sounds
like your T’s in this guy but I think
that is the common thing but go ahead
okay well so what I was gonna say about
it is that it’s more information than I
required from the patient in that visit
but it is nice to be you know it’s
better to be over-prepared than
underprepared I did exactly yes but
usually the questions are like you know
how many how many times in a week you
can give more of an average you know but
I think a log you know a log of logs if
you will mm-hmm I think that’s pretty
useful and I think if you you know I
personally this patient that you’re
making fun of I think that you know you
could maybe be even a little more
thorough than this guy maybe you could
keep a little bit of a sample every day
okay Karen do you keep samples and you
know baby jar baby food jars you know
they’re tiny they don’t take up much
space maybe you have one of those for
everyday are you are you suggesting that
to me or are you saying that you already
do this I’m saying it wouldn’t be weird
if someone decided to do that I guess to
me that would be weird that would be
unusual from my perspective I don’t
think that the average person does that
well it sounds like your friend does
right here well he was I mean I would
say we were friendly but it was a
patient
and I was commenting on how and you how
strange it was do you see just go ahead
okay
now for today’s medical topic
superficial thrombophlebitis superficial
thrombophlebitis is when you have small
blood clots in a particular area under
the skin in the upper extremities it
usually occurs at the site of an IV
infusion in the lower extremities it is
usually associated with varicose veins
secondary to static blood flow in these
veins clinically superficial
thrombophlebitis presents with pain
tenderness in duration and erythema
along the course of the vein so it’s a
it’s sort of bigger and red right fine a
tender cord may also be palpated and
palpation of course is the term for
physically feeling that part of the skin
with your hand and you know I think this
is one thing you shouldn’t beat yourself
up over I think we all go through
periods where we’re a little more
superficial and maybe you know a little
more materialistic or we kind of get you
know caught into the cool kid crowd
maybe the cool kids start inviting you
to parties and starting to like hang out
and maybe go to lunch or maybe go to
which-which and so you guys are hanging
out at which which all the time you get
in the wicked you know that’s the five
meet with the three cheese’s and you can
get that ha you can get that cold hear
you in like a big like hot wick we could
sandwich from which which right and so
and then you’re like yeah I mean like
you’ve cut out all of your old friends
because you’ve decided that like this
superficial cool life who’s like all
about like cool clothes and like cars
and stuff and chicks and babes like
maybe that is the life for you okay and
like maybe that’s not that big of a deal
like everyone’s got to like explore a
little bit well okay so this is a sort
of a different thing Cameron and I thank
you for for bringing this up because I
didn’t I didn’t realize my terminology
could have been so confusing so
superficial is a term not only for
dreams no I’m just Josh
jokin so superficial means nerd an
education podcast nerd no it’s fine it’s
fine dude it’s just like you know I’ve
got my new friends now so it’s just like
you know I care about like different
things than you do honestly camera I
don’t I don’t approve of these friends
you’ve been having oh whatever it’s just
cuz they don’t want to hang out with you
yeah but they also you know try to pull
pranks on me they’re just trying to have
fun
sorry that you don’t remember what
that’s like cuz you’re so old okay
because I’ve had glass and feces I found
that on like stuck to the walls of my
house before it’s funny was that your
feces it’s it’s impossible to know whose
it was it was all together it was all
like mixed oh wait so is this friend
group that you’ve been hanging out with
lately that the superficial
materialistic ones are they the ones who
think it’s normal to glass to bottle up
your feces I think that it you know it’s
not an it’s it’s it’s it it was strange
to me at first too but now that I see it
and they have told me that it’s cool I
realized that it is actually very cool
to do because yeah I didn’t think you
had this habit before but is this what
made you like them or was it something
else
what do you mean what made me like them
I’d like them because there’s the cool
guys man of course I’m gonna hang out
with the cool guys if they’re gonna tell
me hey we need you to collect a little
bit of your poop every single day hell
again I’m gonna do it it doesn’t make
sense to me either
I don’t understand it but they need it
from me and I’m not I’m not a freak
because of it I’m cool I’m cool
hmm okay not like you nerd
all right well let me go on in terms of
treatment no anticoagulation is
typically required as superficial
thrombophlebitis rarely causes pulmonary
embolism for localized from both – a
mild analgesic such as aspirin or
ibuprofen an elevation or hot compresses
might be warranted but these patients
can typically continue activity on the
other hand if it is suppurative
thrombophlebitis as caused by septic
phlebitis typically due to an infection
of an IV cannula the redness will extend
beyond the area of the vein and purulent
drainage may be present treatment here
would be to remove the cannula and to
administer antibiotics systemic
antibiotics that is hey what time are
you what time are you going to leave the
studio my house yeah well what time when
are you gonna go home okay why why do
you ask
there’s no reason just just just tell me
well I don’t think I’ll tell you I I’m
not sure when exactly all right he’s
gonna be gone for at least another 3-4
hours just get it done all right okay
see ya okay all right Cameron do we have
a sponsor today unfortunately we do not
dr. London it’s just just been one of
those weeks you know yeah we’re the
sponsors just aren’t hidden like they
should you do
actively seem to work to get rid of them
sometimes well I mean I do see it sort
of like a dating app like a successful
dating app will get people off the app
you know and so I see it as the same
like once we’ve connected our sponsors
with their future clients then we should
be happy for them and let them
yes yeah I I don’t
but anyway anyway that’s beside the
point
okay we don’t have a sponsor this week
so I wanted to hear a little bit more
about you dr. London I know we’ve talked
a little bit about you know your dating
history in your past but I personally I
think one of the most interesting and
scientific and most medical ways to
learn about someone is by interpreting
their dreams wouldn’t you agree dr.
London I mean there are aspects of
psychology that go into that more I
medicine science and medicine yeah I
mean magic see wouldn’t you say dreams
are magic no no could you explain the
science behind dreams being magic I
don’t think I can explain that I mean we
can talk about the phases of sleep you
know going good REM of a face and a face
of sleep no phases not not that face do
you is this part of it I want to see the
face of sleep dr. London okay so I think
that you’ve been having some do you
dream of a face whenever you go to sleep
no no but I definitely don’t want to oh
you’re just a this is one of your fears
yeah okay definitely don’t want to see a
face one gonna sleep dr. London but I
want to eat where we’re not here to
learn about me and my you know my fears
of a face that looks like a specific
person from my childhood anyway we’re
here to learn about you dr. London okay
so you’re so would you what you’re
wanting to hear one of my dreams yes I
want to hear a recent dream that you’ve
had i I’m trying to think of how this
would benefit the listener okay so and
these dreams happen during REM sleep
that’s named after you know rapid eye
movement okay
see and of the world as we know I’m
sorry not that I am this is a different
okay so for me I I have had this dream a
few times where I okay I’m asleep
that is a drink sorry not in the dream
so I find myself in a lake okay all
right and I’m swimming I’m swimming I’m
swimming and then it’s a lake remember
but then a whale comes up from under me
okay and I’m so that I’m holding under
this whale as it swims along and then
the whale up from under it comes a plane
and so it starts to fly with the way
plane plane lifts up the whale high into
the sky yeah and I’m me too
and at first I’m enjoying it you know
it’s like I’m riding high and then I
realize I don’t have anything to to keep
me attached to the whale or the plane
and whales are pretty slippery creatures
at least in my dream and so I’m starting
to slide off and I’m you know you know
we’re getting pretty high up and it’s
even getting difficult to breathe and so
I’m reaching oh man and I’m grabbing I’m
grabbing it whatever I can find grab a
bird no that’s not what I need I throw
it away and I can’t
so that fall and the whale tail and it’s
like I’m already scared of height and
then the whale whenever I get to the
tail flips me way up and then so I’m
even higher up and then I start to fall
and I just keep falling and then I have
a different dream that it sort of
transforms into where I’m in a chocolate
shop
[Music]
does that make sense
yeah I mean it at first glance it
totally makes sense to me I mean first
of all that’s the stupidest dream I’ve
ever heard in my entire life like you
that what that’s the stupidest sounding
thing I’ve ever heard about normal stuff
like I was gonna say like candy but you
did say you were dreaming about
chocolate at the end well the store yeah
but God mean I was expecting like I was
having a dream that like I drove a car
real fast but it this is I mean this is
messed up dude yeah but I mean let’s go
over it so okay you’re in a lake and
you’re you’re swimming and you’re
enjoying yourself in the lake so we can
assume what’s the only thing that you
enjoy being a doctor working on working
at the hospital it’s the only thing you
like so I was gonna say being outside in
nature No so you’re out there you’re
swimming in the lake this is you working
in the hospital and then a way out pops
up and who’s the whale the whale is one
of your patients
maybe the whale maybe this is a patient
with a big problem you a problem the
size of a whale dz8 I’m saying you’re
holding on and you’re enjoying all of
this well they could also be physically
large so you’re enjoying all of this
right because you said the plane then
lifts up the whale that’s the gurney oh
you think it’s that that direct
translation but it’s a gurney the gurney
is lifting up your whale of a patient
and then you’re riding on top of your
patient does it sound familiar dr.
London well it sounds like my dream that
I think you’re feeling while you’re
riding on top of your patient you’re
feeling this joy and you’re feeling this
freedom but then you realize there’s no
attachment there’s nothing holding you
on to this gurney and you’re I mean
you’re writing I don’t know four or five
feet up right that’s gotta be scary so
you start sliding off and you’re
grabbing whatever you can but you know
like you said your patient is very
slippery and so your patient that’s all
old up and has a bunch of like doctor
goo on it your slip in and you’re
falling and then you keep falling and
then you land in a chocolate shop which
is the gift shop
Hospital that’s your dream so you think
that your your interpretation of my
dream is just that it’s a very you were
surfing on is that you were surfing on a
wet patient of yours yeah you think it’s
a very direct translation it’s not like
I’m you don’t think it’s a metaphor for
say I think you had a big old wet
patient who was huge and covered in oil
and slippery as hell couldn’t catch the
guy I think you were pushing him on a
gurney and then you said I would I want
to surf on this and I think the the
outcome of that was you knocking over a
bunch of stuff around you and you
getting embarrassed that’s why you’re
dreaming about it I I don’t think that
that happened to me prove that it didn’t
happen right now prove it I don’t I
don’t know how I could prove that but
all right what do you want do you want
to move on to the next dream since I
nailed that one
okay no I can I can let’s do one more
okay okay so in this dream so I find
myself in a field and okay there’s this
tall grass and I don’t know how you feel
every time you see a movie with the tall
grass around and they’re running their
hands through it all I think is chiggers
I think bugs and I think my legs are
gonna be itchy afterwards and so okay
that’s all I’m thinking in the dream I
find myself there and I’m so afraid of
getting itchy so probably want to squish
the bugs huh well they’re they’re so
small they’re not really you know
squishable so so then I I walk along and
instead of being on you know the dirt
and grass I start to feel solid wood
like I’m walking on a plank and okay I
find myself walking on an actual plane
click on a pirate ship
ooh right and I’m hearing walk the plank
and I’m the hole yeah and in that moment
what I’m realizing is
my legs are feeling itchy and walking
this plank actually might feel pretty
good to get you know take a dip in the
water yeah and so you know I look back
at them and I do a little dance in the
dream and taunt them a little bit and
then you make the big leap
you make the plunge right yeah well I
trick actually in the end but yeah I do
get into the water and then and then
this whale comes up under me oh wow
another one yeah and then it sounds like
it’s looping back around yeah yeah I
think there’s a candy store anyway so
nobody tell you what I would I think of
what you’ve been telling me I don’t know
if I okay alright so you started off in
a field right with tall grass yeah so
that I mean that this is your this is
your place where you’re you’re
constantly surrounded by sort of a
comfort sort of a not a comfort but sort
of just whatever you’re surrounded by
it’s like you and your favorite thing
which is medicine and being at the
hospital so being in the field with tall
tall grasses you being at the hospital
and then you having all these bugs
around that are annoying you that you
want to squish real bad who are they
your patients so you think who in your
life that you want to squish because
they’re so annoying and they’re making
you so itchy because of the diseases
they’re spreading it’s your patients so
then you suddenly that clicks in your
head that oh I want to squish my
patients so bad and then you flash to
you walking on a salad piece of wood
walking on the plank this is the Medical
Board at your hospital you think that if
you start squishing your patients like
you
we really want to the board at your
hospital is going to quote unquote make
you walk the plank they’re gonna fire
you and possibly imprison you huh but
your dream is saying hey buddy take the
leap take a leap of faith man you know
in your heart that this is what you want
you’ve got to take care of some of these
patients and you know what I mean by
take care of some of these patients so
then you jump in the water the water is
also the hospital and medicine and stuff
and then the whale is the big fat
patient that you ride that’s real wet
and then you’re slipping and sliding on
the patient and so I think we I think I
don’t know I think we’ve kind of figured
out what you need to do with this this
patient of yours oh you think this is
all tied to one specific patient I think
you’re slipping and sliding on someone
okay well I I don’t like whenever you
made references to the doctor goo and
stuff I don’t know what you’re talking
about there
hey dr. Cayle I’m sorry dr. goo now
doctor who in any case I guess thank you
for for your attempt at interpreting the
dream but yeah yeah yeah
but I I think it was more just just a
dream you’re just a dream
okay well let let’s keep the cross words
out of this okay okay we can go ahead
and move on from there I think all right
Cameron you said that we had a special
guest today is that right we do dr.
London you know how we’ve been sort of
talking about the idea of having a
co-host on this very show yeah yeah I
was thinking you know to cover is sort
of the aspects I’m I guess let’s focus
on some of the dieting or possibly even
expanding to epidemiology right or like
me the intelligence the saying correct
things actually covering topics that are
beneficial to people being likable being
nice being sort of funny you know just
all the
the areas where you’re lacking and then
you can continue to bring to the table
you know your little little game or
whatever a little little act
you think this this is a game that
teaching medicine yeah it’s the only way
that it your life makes sense is that
you’re you’re intentionally creating the
most bizarre life possible to maybe I
don’t know maybe get on a reality show
or I because the you’re describing the
most bizarre alive but it’s just you
know working in the medical field and
then teaching medical lessons to
listeners uh-huh does that’s that’s
reality show to you does that sound that
crazy no what’s crazy to me is when I
was looking for your window the other
night you were stacking a cat on top of
the dog and then you were stacking a
little mouse
on top of the cat well I have my
figurines you know that yeah I suppose
I’m sorry for our listeners this is sort
of my private life but we try not to dig
into too much because I want to I want
to keep the focus on medicine I think
regardless of what the focus is it you
just kind of give off a sort of animal
stacking guy type of energy that has
been a negative for the show I mean our
listener count has been stuck at you
know 760,000 for weeks now so no more
downloads since that no I mean we’ve
been trying to push it towards a million
and it’s just it’s stuck it’s stuck at
the one spot do you think it could
because your screen like your computer
also froze that day no that’s a
different issue because because you
haven’t been able to use that computer
for anything else since right it’s I
think those are I think the two issues
are unrelated though okay like I don’t I
don’t think I’m not I don’t think people
not listening the podcast is what caused
my computer to freeze
there was the soda I’m I’m sorry I guess
I wasn’t aware of that did you
accidentally spilled some soda on my
computer no I didn’t accidentally do
anything nor did I spill anything it was
just my computer was making sort of a
coughing noise you know it does it every
once in a while it gets really hot as
there’s going so I thought I’d give it a
little like little soda as a you know to
kind of cool it down okay and so I
poured it with a floppy disk slot oh
[Music]
well I guess I’m surprised that you have
a floppy disk slot on your computer
because that’s that seems low and dated
but in any case so you know that
electronics had generally don’t take
kindly to liquids right I know that my
computer got really mad and it froze up
Oh in a reaction to this yeah hasn’t
spoken to me in days and in any case I
mean we got to get to this co-host thing
doctor London right so we have as our
guest today my choice my my nominee if
you will for the campaign of 2020
co-host my choice is here today that’s
gonna be our guest are you excited to
meet them yeah so is this because I was
looking at a few options that I was
sending to you and one was an
epidemiologist I was really interested
to hear their take on modern events
because you know a lot of big things are
in the news right now and seeing that I
guess tracking the path of a disease is
fascinating to me right right so is it
by any chance that one that I recommend
no dice okay so we can get them all
right so is it uh I don’t know physical
therapist I guess I should stop gal
would say in a way sure absolutely yeah
okay all right so who my nominee he is
the smartest guy I’ve ever met the
cutest guy I just gotta say it
he is a person who I think everyone
loves and everyone sort of gets hyped
for when he walks into the room people
start doing that dance that goes like
one hop this time and one hop this time
yeah everyone does that most of the time
which i think is pretty pretty rad and I
just think you would he would be a great
co-host on the show and his name is
[Music]
producer Cameron I deserve this spot I
deserve the spot I deserve the spot I
deserve the spot I deserve it okay you
nominated yourself for this position
uh-huh and to clarify this isn’t a given
to me I deserve this spot it’s my spot
I deserve it I should be co-host okay
well and while I appreciate you you know
throwing your thing in the ring here
it’s so it’s not an election it’s not a
popularity thing it’s based on who I
think you know could educate Metis
medical topics the best then why did I
stay up all night making ballots and
then forging my votes into those ballots
yeah I’m not sure but I have okay
because I’ve seen a lot of voting booths
that that aren’t at the the designated
areas all around town I’ve been seeing
these I’ve spent so much money on
rigging this election and you’re telling
me there’s not even an election yeah I
am sucks man I’m sorry to have to be the
one to tell you so no it’s it’s a formal
you know it’s a position that you apply
for it’s a job you know but I guess okay
since since you’re all that’s here I’ve
been living busy Eastern European guys
sleep on my couch in exchange for
helping like rig this thing god
Wayans fan that’s why he was there yeah
because you you talked about him like he
was an old friend I mean he’s old as
hell yeah I don’t know how old he is the
other day you know how people like old
people they remove their teeth before
they go to bed he removed his mouth his
mouth like with the lips and everything
okay so he must have had some traumatic
accident he removed that whole chunk of
his face dr. London I don’t know how old
he is and he won’t leave okay so so it’s
a noticeable problem for you then okay
well I I’m sorry to hear that Cameron
but in any case anyway yeah anyway I
want to interview for the position of
co-host I think I’ve proven myself I
think as the producer I have sort of
unofficially functioned as the co-host
for a long time now wouldn’t you say
yeah and I’ve even you know our
listeners do this closely they might
have noticed I’ve called you a co-host a
few times sure and that was more because
you know you’re supposed to kind of stay
in the background as a producer and then
you would just chime in and ask
questions when it was really you know
that was my job okay and you were sort
of pushing my thoughts and I pings to
the side and then stating your own oh
you wanted the show to be propaganda
because the other person on the show is
pushing your beliefs that’s what you
wanted okay
that actually makes a lot of sense that
puts this whole show into a new context
okay well rather than propaganda that’s
not really the term I would use this is
sort of just educating with you know
evidence-based medicine so I would call
that not so much propaganda I don’t
think you need to educate medicine
medicine isn’t people I’m sorry did I
phrase that incorrectly what I meant is
to educate concerning medical topics
does that make more sense not really
just to interview me for the job okay
okay all right so Cameron yes start to
say okay few basic and every questions
what would you say you’ve already listed
your experience what would you say is
your biggest strength as a co-host
what would you be able to bring to the
table Oh a breath I would say they more
biggest strength okay wait hold on yes I
why why did you put on an accent just
then I I think historically maybe people
with have with an accent
do well on the radio and do well in
podcasting because they they have a
little you know zest to their vibe yes
okay well one issue there’s you do
already have an accent it’s just an
American accent mm-hmm so that’s you
already have one you don’t have to adopt
another one on American accent then I
turn on the radio I’m hearing all these
guys with these different voices and I’m
saying I could be that where are you
listening to British radio maybe because
that is probably the reason why just
continue on with the questioning okay
well I guess try to answer the questions
with your normal accent okay so same
question what is your greatest strength
what do you bring to the table ello love
okay my gray strike has got to be more
ability to podcast I think my greatest
strength as a co-host would be my
ability to do the podcast
I will be there on time or I mean around
the time I will put my mouth near the
microphone I will push the words using
you know the wind for my gut and my
tongue that’s how words are and I will
be the co-host and I think that is that
is probably my greatest train thank you
okay so your I guess to sort of
summarize your greatest strength is that
you were technically physically able to
perform the job absolutely and I don’t I
wish I don’t think that’s true with my
current roommate who takes out his mouth
every night I don’t think he could do
that at least when his mouth was that
okay okay now he as far as I knew he was
not you know a contender for this role
he is he heard about it and he has been
arguing with me a lot about it and he’s
vying for it pretty hard okay all right
I guess I get I guess we’ll consider
interviewing him as well you’re gonna
consider interviewing him I mean I would
much rather have a medical expert as a
co-host just so we can keep reinforcing
the medical facts but I in any case we
can move on from the you again of the
boss here you don’t have to interview
him but you just you hear that this man
with no mouth who I am letting live on
my couch because I wanted to rig the
election you’re you hear that he’s
interested and you’re like well I guess
I’ll throw him an interview
I guess because span and I we did bond a
little bit over what your hatred of me
no no wasn’t that but it was you were
telling stories about me to each other
and that’s how you bonded huh well he
didn’t I guess I guess one of his big
his biggest strengths might be that
whenever I spoke about medicine he
didn’t immediately take the other side
and say that I was wrong
with you isn’t a strength that you seem
to possess you were telling that story
where I was I went to the grocery store
and I bought too many Tara miss me Suze
and I was carrying trying to carry them
all at once
and that I ended up tripping on them and
stepping on and sliding them all around
and dropping the rest of them you told
him that story didn’t you I told you him
you have to tell people that story
okay well but that’s he knew some of it
already and I just filled in some blanks
well he knew that I guess I could I
could walk and was able to trip well the
part that he didn’t know about was that
what followed because you you said you
bought them but really you were running
out of the store and that’s where you’re
in such a hurry and that’s why you
tripped and so they you can’t prove that
you cannot prove that I took them
without buying them you cannot yeah I
mean there there were people watching it
was a whole show like it looked like it
came from TV with the footage and
everything and then the stun gun so
that’s that’s why it came up it it made
local headlines alright just that like
he read it from the newspaper yeah and
so I just filled in like oh yeah he told
me about this it wasn’t a newspaper it
was the cover of Time magazine okay
we’ll see I they retracted their Person
of the Year it was originally you know
Greta Thornburg or whatever and they
said never mind it’s this guy and it was
just a picture of me trying to carry
17:18 tiramisu
well so slipping on one yeah yeah
sliding around like a crazy person they
made me the time Person of the Year for
that so anyway that’s why Sven you know
got I guess has the chance for an
interview potentially sure we bonded
over that story so in any case yeah I’m
sorry that’s got you said down
weaknesses alright can you tell me and
this is the part where kind of tests
sort of how you view yourself
functioning within a larger I guess
company and how you can work with others
what would you say your greatest
weakness is weaknesses I would say
probably like piano I don’t think I’d be
able to carry or even pull a piano which
would make me feel pretty weak okay so
your your weakness would be your
physical strain would be piano maybe
like a like it I think maybe a smaller
car if it was a smart car I bet I could
push that but if it was maybe like a
tank or some sort of fighter jet I would
probably be unable to lift those I would
assume and that would make me feel
pretty weak okay I guess and for the
podcast that I guess that wouldn’t come
up so much so that is in your favor
that your your weakness that you can
identify that you can’t lift a piano or
a tank those those types of issues
wouldn’t necessarily be a problem within
context of this role as a co-host so
that I guess that’s that’s in favor of
you okay what about your past employment
experience before this podcast you know
have you ever been a co-host before
hello love I used to be the co-host on
WTF with Marc Maron did you though yeah
Marc Maron you know he likes to talk
about his cats and everything at the
beginning of the show and for the first
year so I would come on you have to
listen closely because I was mostly like
kind of far away in the background but
I’d come on and be like hey I’m one of
the cats I’m Marc scat feed me
hey Marc I heard that Richard kind is
gonna be on the episode today isn’t that
pretty interesting okay so were you
credited I guess you could ask them
maybe about Spin City or a bug’s life
okay all right well that that’s that
sounds interesting I’m not sure that
it’s well that that is a big podcast so
that could bring some I guess extra
credibility and spotlight to this one
absolutely okay and I can’t do that
anymore though
because of you know the the order the
court order you mean just an order
you know if it’s from if it’s from a
court
nothing you you would call it a court
order
you might one might call it a
restraining something or something
restraining order yeah
so I can’t do that anymore I can’t
bang on his garage while he’s recording
and say hey I’m the cat on the cat on
the cat yeah he made sure I can’t do
that anymore okay so I take it that you
weren’t given the credit for that
no I mean no one gives me credit for
anything no one does I mean I was I
basically popularized the show that dude
has a million bucks I basically did that
I get no credit for it and I and I hate
for it to get to this point but I guess
the conclusion that I’m already coming
to now is that it did you hear he said
no he said I mean what do you mean you
said a wide I don’t I wasn’t really
listening so you said like blah blah
blah but blah blah blah blah because I
said okay the point I’m getting at here
is we’re gonna go ahead and talk about
what we’re you know we’ll consider your
application but I’m gonna go ahead and
take a closer look at spends application
don’t know
no no cuz span no no no no no no no no
no absolutely not has pretty no okay
yeah he’s worked with Conan a little bit
but that that is not he that’s that
doesn’t count
well why shouldn’t it count because
check because he the because because
because well because because Conan
called me back himself Conan himself he
called me to say you should hire this
man yes Ben
did so much for me and he was like very
personal he started I I guess he’s not
usually like this on TV or whatever he
was he sound like he was tearing up damn
and so Cameron whenever I called because
I did see on your resume right here Marc
Maron so I I made the call to try to
find out you know check about your past
work and it wasn’t good what do you mean
what it mark said anyone everyone who I
called about your previous work
experience they talked in a they talked
in a low piratey type of British voice
oh the ones who would talk to me
those were the nice ones most of them
whenever they heard you
like some one of them I’m pretty sure
vomited on the spot and hung up but yeah
there was there kind of there was
someone who talked in a low pirate voice
yeah it was it almost like every person
you called who said anything remotely
positive about me maybe sounded like
like a man like a producer doing a like
a piratey type of british voice mm-hmm
well actually actually dr. London I’ve
got a couple I’ve got a couple questions
for you dr. London so who what do you
what are your goals for to be the to be
