81. Acute Respiratory Failure/Lost Sponsors/New Years

Hey kids you’re about to listen to a

comedy podcast that means that none of

this is medical advice or if you need

medical advice or medical care please

contact your doctor

welcome to the jock doc podcast

featuring dr london smith

it’s a new year and you know what that

means

absolutely nothing things are going to

be pretty much the same

probably worse yes introducing your host

dr london smith 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 londonsmith.com i’d like to begin

by apologizing to our listeners we’ve

received some feedback about the

excessive amount of technical medical

terms that i’ve been using

such as lateralizing hypertension and

happy new year so i will try to temper

my terminology to a simpler one in the

future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron

hey dr london hey

hey what’s up hey hey what’s been going

on with you with

all the holidays going on oh i don’t

know i didn’t know what you were

doing i just said hey and then you were

saying hey i was trying to

oh yeah just just meet your energy yeah

so i yeah that’s why so i asked you know

what hey yeah so i said hey

but um you know what if i was just

asking how the holidays have been going

for you

oh they’ve been going pretty good lots

of

hot chocolate and staying warm by the

fire

with blankets and you know

yeah the old uh you know praying to the

general

and all those things your normal kind of

holiday family stuff

yeah so praying to the general is that

in reference to the

to the sort of intel that we have about

anyway uh that’s fine um listeners can

go back to different episode if they

need

also with us is digital in the hose

happy new year

[Music]

um

[Music]

i

[Music]

and later we can actually um

well we you know sometimes we

find ourselves losing sponsors

and so in instead of a guest

we’re gonna try to win back some of our

sponsors so that’s

i you know i really hate the framing of

this

you know it’s like i don’t you know

these

these aren’t ex-sponsors they are they

were sponsors who are special to us for

a period of time

but nothing lasts forever nope yeah you

know

well so and like one of the reasons you

didn’t see them

as your ex when you were living in that

moment you know

yeah they meant a lot to you and even

though that’s over

it’s okay and to say that you lost them

is to say that honestly it is to say you

would be a different person

because you’re asking for a for

different circumstances to happen in

your life

yeah but so this is i guess to to

compare it to

having an ex this is like if you um

[Music]

intentionally got rid of your ex for no

reason when

the relationship was great and then you

just botched the relationship for no

reason

at great cost to yourself

personally and that was what

needed to happen in that moment to be

who you are today we can get back to

that but

uh before we move on i would like to

address a bit of listener feedback

so this note um i found

okay so so there’s a snowman outside the

house

and the snowman appeared to be

holding this note in its stick hands

and so i guess he’s a listener anyway so

the note reads quote if his cancer

was getting free you should have told us

sooner now it’s loose end quote

so i guess let me repeat that just

because it’s it

gets confusing to me if his cancer was

getting free

you should have told us sooner now it’s

loose

yeah he’s probably got some friends or

family the snowman

who’s had cancer didn’t realize it was

sort of

you know out there spreading around

so so normally well first of all to this

listener this

snowman i guess uh thank you for

reaching out to us here at the choctaw

podcast

uh so whenever someone is cancer free

that means that they don’t have cancer

yes

and that that’s that’s really that’s all

it means it doesn’t

okay so i’m cancer-free yes

yeah for as far as we are as far as we

know yeah

okay so you if you think it’s okay for

me to go around telling people that i’m

cancer-free

yes okay no because it is you’re saying

it is true

i am saying that it is true but

you know you’re right to point it out if

you say

that you are cancer-free or you’re a

cancer survivor

normally you would have had a previous

diagnosis of some form of cancer

beforehand

in order to make that statement uh

you know bear more weight and

socially who would come across as you

have her argue

are you telling me that i’m not

cancer-free

no oh gosh

okay so okay cameron i don’t have

insurance because i withdrew from

i’m it out a year because i wanted to

put all that money into a

soda machine that i bought i really

shouldn’t have done that

okay it’s gonna make way more than

insurance and you’re still

you’re still gonna call that a soda

machine oh

cause just because you you can put

drinks into it and then drinks come out

of it doesn’t make it a soda machine

i really miss when i was cancer-free

okay so anyway so

to this listener um being cancer free

you know that doesn’t mean that there’s

some like loose cancer on the prowl or

something it just it just means that

you’re

you don’t have cancer anymore i should

have clarified that

you know i mean it’s not like uh it’s

not like a creature running around

but it is a contagious disease and

that’s this is one of the reasons that

we

wear masks in socially distance is

because you know cancer is on the loose

okay but no no so it’s actually

the the reason why we wear masks is

because there’s an airborne

highly contagious virus but it’s not

it’s not a can

as far as we’re aware it’s not a

cancer-causing

virus although who

oh chronic inflammation chronic

irritation can

lead to cancer but in any case

um thank you to this listener for thank

you to the snowman for reaching out

and and i guess i guess you didn’t

really have much of a choice your arms

are kind of stiff there

uh but now for today’s medical topic

acute respiratory

failure acute respiratory failure

results when there is inadequate

oxygenation of blood

or inadequate ventilation which is the

elimination of co2

or both so this is a large topic but has

a number of causes

so i will try to be brief in my

explanation here

uh so one basic principle behind this

concept

or behind this condition is the concept

of ventilation and perfusion

so how about maybe to save time in this

segment because there are so many causes

is that in the background while you do

this

i’ll list all of the causes

of acute respiratory failure did you

study up on this

do you know i did yeah i took a class on

it actually

okay well okay that’s great um yeah so

you’ll have your

time if you could do it kind of softly

though because of course i have yeah

sure yeah because i’m gonna explain the

physiology of it

so uh ventilation refers to one’s

ability to breathe air

in and out from the lungs and perfusion

refers to the circulation of blood

within the lungs be caused by

breathing in a ventilation like a boat

boat smells too much sort of you know

the smell when you’re sitting on like a

dock or like a boat

are you are you asking me if if you

smell that too much

no i’m listening i’m listing this

quietly in the background for the

listeners i’m not speaking to you at all

i’m listing

things that can cause you know acute you

know respiratory

yeah failure failure syndrome

right so uh a ventilation perfusion

mismatch also turned vq mismatch refers

to

drink dr pepper when part of the lung

temperature

is able to ventilate without blood flow

or is able to circulate blood flow

without proper ventilation

so the general criteria to define

acute respiratory failure are hypoxia

with the oxygen

arterial oxygen less than 60 millimeters

of mercury

hypercapnia with partial pressure co2

greater than 50 um but only if you saw

the original so cameron i’m not sure

which is different than the dvd

order so so excuse me what’s up

so it’s my understanding that people

listening to podcasts don’t like to hear

it whenever people are just talking over

each other the whole time

so i’m well we’re saving

time this is well also dj dylan

okay so dj dylan maybe to make this

easier on the listeners can you split

me and london’s audio so one is in one

headphone ear

and one the other is on the other

headphone ear yes i think that would

that would help right

i’d i’d say they can choose which one

they want to listen to

or how it’s supposed to be intended

listen to both at the same time and

learn

both things it’s like speed reading

i i you know what

did your dylan do what you would like

here i yes

i i’m just gonna keep so just pan our

audio into opposite

opposite stereo tracks yes yes yes

yes okay well so i’m just gonna keep

going

and i’m so sorry to our listeners if if

this is problematic for you

so clinically a patient will present

with shortness of breath and possibly

cough

on exam they may be able to speak from

complete

pets.com also remember pets.com

there’s like a big like they may also

have like technical bubbles

and that’s that’s increased like failure

stories respirations

so if you bought anything from there

you’ve definitely been exposed

cyanosis as indicated by the body the

color cn

or blue or they may have impaired

mentation

uh diagnosis can be confirmed via

articulation like a breakfast burrito

analysis which can show hypoxemia

hypercapnia and altered ph

chest can

you will try to keep the oxygen

saturation over ninety percent

uh when it comes to mechanical

ventilation the most important if you

saw a long

poly include using high pressure so

there’s a part of the the very end after

the credits

[Music]

oh sorry karen what’s up

was with some of your because i wasn’t

listening to you because i was busy with

my own

lesson um was one of the things that you

just said

that you know cause you were there

as in like well who are you talking to

talking to people who might have been

exposed so like for example the last one

i was saying

at in theaters at along came polly

years ago when i was in theaters if you

stayed for the after credit sequence

all the way to the end there was an

interactive like

crowd feature where they would like

spray glitter on the audience

that glitter is extremely toxic and

that’s one of the

causes you’re trying to tell our

listeners

about this and you’re sure that that’s a

cause of acute respiratory failure

yes according to the class that i took

wait what what what class did you take

uh

i mean it was online okay so and that’s

your

so that’s not what what was the class

called what do you mean well

it was called it was just you just go to

en.wikipedia.org i’m just doing the

exact same thing you do

and you hit random okay

so so you didn’t take a class you you

found

you went and searched wikipedia for

okay why well i paid someone 1100

an hour so to do what

for the class you like i guess to get

credit

trust me i always think like especially

since most of these classes are online

these days kind of like what am i

exactly am i paying for

i’m paying for a teacher to to grade my

google searches

okay but uh you know sometimes you get

in this

day and age you still got to get a

degree so yeah

okay we we can go ahead and you know

move on from there i guess

[Music]

all right uh so cameron um as you know

we you know we we’ve we’ve lost

more sponsors this year we’ve we hardly

had any this year

honestly compared to the year before

and i can’t help but think that part of

that might be your approach to our

sponsors

well i mean what do you do you even know

what my approach is i feel like you’re

not even

involved in this process really that’s

true it’s mostly what you’ve told me

about the process that makes me think

that that your approach is off well okay

what if i told you about the process

because i don’t really remember most of

that stuff either

your approach you don’t remember it yeah

because i’ve been

i’ve kind of i’ve i i don’t i don’t keep

track of things

i hate to admit that yeah which is it is

kind of your

job to keep track of it so okay so um

for our listeners what cameron does

is he will

go exploring he will call it going

exploring

he will uh go get his

his rattiest clothes which and i don’t

that’s not

like some kind of phrase it’s a clothes

that he says

would most benefit rats would most fit

rats um so they’re very small

and grimy and

are covered in rats well and so he will

put up you know i learned from the

experts and the expert in

this situation would be aladdin also

known as a street rat

who wore rat clothes that’s what that’s

why his clothes didn’t fit him properly

because they were made for rats that’s

your understanding okay so

so in any case so so cameron wears his

i mean even street rat isn’t trying like

it’s just

rat clothes but so he wears his clothes

and then

he goes out uh to well he calls it the

wilderness

it is just the uh sort of there’s a park

nearby he goes to the park yeah and it’s

a mall it’s like a mini mall

yeah well and there’s sort of this uh

closed there’s this grassy area whenever

i say park

it is it is cameron’s right is enclosed

within the mall

there’s this sort of nature area of it

and so he

climbs through digs a hole

and he he constructs what he calls his

nest

um and he you know he keeps stirring it

around

uh bringing in he goes to the different

places near

the different vendors he’ll ask for a

cup of water he’ll bring it back he’ll

pour it

stir up some mud go over there ask for

another cup of water

and maybe gather sticks along the way

yeah

yeah and so cameron will do this

uh fill his you know get get his pit

going

uh and that is that is what he refers to

he says gotta get my pick going

and then um and then he’ll

those sticks that we’re referencing he

builds his

nest as once again as he called it uh

and then he’ll put up a flag this is the

only part he

seems to prepare beforehand is he does

have a flag

and he’ll put that up and the flag has a

you know it’s a banner that reads

uh looking for sponsors and

it’s just a lot of typos well and it’s

the don’t tread on me

snake too yeah yeah so it’s yellow with

the snake

but it says you know looking for

sponsors

yeah and so people will walk by and

cameron will swipe at their legs

as they walk by he’ll he’ll scramble out

sort of like um

like gollum from uh from lord of the

rings

or it’s well cameron doesn’t like the

comparison uh smeagle from lord of the

rings

yes yeah they’re different

i don’t even know if they’ve ever met

but they are i think they’re

cousins right so so cameron will

in a smeagle sort of approach

he’ll he’ll kind of scramble out on all

fours

not even i feel like smeagle has

like more clothes than what i’m wearing

yes yeah

smeagol does wear more but also smeagol

uh will lift him

his torso off the ground which you don’t

bother to do that whenever you crawl

i just no it’s dragging for the most

part

yeah so so you’ll swipe at legs and if

you

catch a leg then you pull them into your

pit

and you you hop into your nest and you

you call yourself king

and whenever if they’re if they ask king

of what

what do you mean and you’re like you

will say king of this nest

look and then they will

be trying to leave and and so this and

that’s the part that you call networking

um and then networking yeah

yeah oh nest yeah that’s right

see i guess it’s one of those things

where like you have a word that you

always

you you have a term that you understand

all the time and then whenever someone

has a slight change to it

you don’t always notice it but yes nest

working does make more sense

in in a way so

so you will do this you will have your

nest

except you’re wrong dr london this is

not what i do

you have my process entirely wrong okay

i don’t the people people’s feet that i

swipe

at and then i pull them into the nest

yeah

those don’t end up being the sponsors is

that where you were about to suggest

yes well like that it was the first step

they call the security guard

and then i pull him in and then i ask

him if he knows

anyone who would be a sponsor

okay so so and that’s all of our

sponsors and most of our guests

come from this process so it’s mostly

security guard at the specific mall

is it the same guy every time it’s their

friends

it’s their friends is it the same guard

i mean it’ll be different guards

depending on the mall the park and the

mall okay

yeah that’s right okay so it’s because i

was gonna say it’s all the same mall

it’s just which park okay on different

sides different days

you know some people only work holidays

yeah

okay so in any case um karen will find

people

uh yes yeah long story short yeah i’ll

find them

um usually fifty dollars for tampering

with the nest

and i’ll find them a hundred and fifty

dollars if they

try to steal any of my sticks yeah which

your fines are just written in mud that

you

write on their faces yeah but i i

i attach to that

their face sort of like a polaroid of

my handgun yeah so i don’t it’s not a

threat as much as it is

um just sort of uh bragging a prod

bragging right yeah just sort of saying

like what i have

i have i can afford a gun yeah

so anyway so this is cameron’s process

so it’s for that reason that i’m

suspicious of a lot of his sponsors and

you know a lot of sponsors he brings on

and it might be why some of them are

suspect it might be why we lose some of

the sponsors as well

so this is an episode dedicated to

those sponsors that we lost and to try

to bring them back

that’s you know we they they might be

a little sus but you know we do love our

sponsors

no matter how sus yes so

how sus they must so in any case

we can um if we want to get going let’s

just play a clip

you know what they must be play a

sponsor

um and we’re going to just you know

make our appeal i guess

[Music]

well and what i love about the the this

new sponsor of ours is that it’s

from a field that we’ve never seen

before we’ve seen

everyone’s heard all these ads for like

you know

domain hosts and you know uh

you know food delivery services or

stamps or whatever but this is the first

of its kind and we are talking about a

new form of time that you can buy

today on this podcast i’m sorry

a new form of what a past time did you

mean

like a newborn are you tired of the

gregorian

calendar where it’s like march september

february are you tired of 24 hours a day

60 minutes an hour 60 seconds a minute

blah blah blah blah blah

that’s the old way dr london the new

form of time that you can learn about

for only 49.99 is a new form of time

called lunchtime that’s right you’re

thinking wait i know about lunch time

that’s the time of day that i eat lunch

and you would be

absolutely right but lunch time as a

time

as a concept is a new

binary form of clock

i so you’re

well it sounds like a confusing product

wait this isn’t

this is a new form aren’t you tired of

looking at the clock and being like 9

22 what does that mean

4 31 huh now

you look at the clock and it either says

lunch time or

not lunch time that’s it those are the

only two things you know

from here on out so

so there’s only one it simplifies

everything

why do we have all these complicated

mechanisms have you ever seen inside of

a clock

and how complicated that is yeah you

know what’s way

more simple than that way more easy to

understand and maybe

maybe isn’t such a you know this kind of

like difficult

entry level for everyone to just figure

out but is actually

intuitive it’s lunchtime it sounds like

basically it either is lunchtime or it

isn’t lunchtime and that my friend

is lunchtime and this is not they do

want to stress this is not a novelty

clock

like one of those clocks that says like

that at right at 5 pm it says quitting

time

or you know fishing time or something

like that that is not

this is it also this is like a clock it

just sounds

more like an alarm almost because it’s

just one time of day

well it does come with a clock but it’s

not like one of those clocks it’s more

like

um is it analog or digital or

oh i would say somewhere in between

those it’s

some it’s somewhat like a um

like it kind of like a it’s like a laser

tag type of set

and you have to wear you’ve got to wear

like your chest and your belt pieces all

the time

kind of like you do when you’re playing

laser tag and then it’ll zap you and

it’ll say launch time

so that sounds like a like a more i

guess annoying alarm but it still sounds

like an alarm

it’s not an alarm at all it’s a it’s a

true reconceptualizing of time

itself and for 49.99 not only

do you get the laser tag clock set but

you also get

books on how to retrain your brain to

learn

about this new form of time that’s so

much simpler that’s going to save you

so much time it comes with training

courses

it comes with a video series blu-ray

discs

even you could there’s even an option

for extensive surgery dr

london surgery based on

lunch time it’s taking the part of your

brain

that thinks in time in in 60 second

increments

and changes it towards uh thinking in

more of a binary simplified

version it either is lunchtime or is not

lunchtime

uh well i mean if they’re paying you

know 50

and they’re getting books and training

videos and things then that

you know that that does sound like it

could be at least

new knowledge so that’s okay that’s

something

and i think what’s great about this is

you know you’re gonna end up saving so

much

time because you in in normal life how

much time do you

how many times a day do you think about

the damn clock

you’re like about the clock oh it’s 4 35

i guess it’s 25 minutes till the end of

work

then i go home at five o’clock and my

commute is gonna be

45 minutes long yes but maybe i can have

dinner by

six if i get home and put it on there’s

my food on the pot for 15 minutes blah

blah blah

you know what this new world looks like

dr london oh hey it’s not lunch time

i’m gonna go home it’s gonna it’s gonna

take i mean probably a lunch times

amount

of time to get over there well and then

hopefully when i get home because i’m

pretty hungry hopefully

my clock changes to lunch time so i can

finally eat

so it’s so you’re you’re waiting a lunch

times amount so there is

a a measured amount of time in there

it’s not just a

anyway i it sounds

you know hopefully it sounds like people

will be getting

a physical product whenever they pay so

that’s

yes they will that that is a step up

from some of

our previous advertisers but what

they’re really getting is a change in

lifestyle

all right well thank you and what was

the name of lunchtime oh

lunch it’s lunchtime all right

thank you to lunch time

[Music]

all right so that was our sponsor lunch

time

and and what

the body modification specifically the

specifically the brain surgery that

they ran into a lot of ethical issues um

i don’t want to disparage them because

of course we want them back

but i do just want to be honest with our

listeners

and say that you know whenever they

referred to the body surgery

the body modifications it was brain

surgery

to disrupt one’s perception of time

and we didn’t address that in the ad in

part because

i didn’t want it to reflect so poorly

what if what if my assumptions or

understanding of it

were wrong well and because we started

to explain it but

the section that i had recorded was too

loud

so we had to take it out it was hurting

people’s ears yeah yeah well because you

were yelling

yeah i mean you were you were saying

like they’re trying to take over

your brain well yeah because i wanted

people to know

yeah it was just too loud so we had to

take it out

any case so yeah so so they

they have run into some funding issues

which

you know that might be cameron why they

stopped sponsoring like i thought it

could be

something about your management style

but you know perhaps it is

it was solely because of their their

ethical

problems and their the botched surgeries

that

yeah i don’t know why this is being

blamed on me so

suddenly yeah i just it’s one of those

things where

just there’s a history of our sponsors

being

like you trying to get rid of them it

seems

and this it seems like that was not the

case today it seems like really

okay you’re the type of person to hold

someone’s history against them you don’t

you don’t believe and forgive and forget

huh when you’re in business with someone

and

you know they’re for forgetting ah

i okay nope forgetting will result

nothing more to say that’s uh you see

this as a business

relationship oh yeah what i get it what

did you see it as no

nothing not just the you know the kind

of person who

anytime you have a nightmare and you

need someone to

read you a bedtime story to go back to

sleep you know you call me but

you know i didn’t realize you do that

with business associates

okay well because that is you know to be

fair

just so it’s out there like that is a

business of that’s a side hustle of

yours

well yeah having people call you to have

a book read

yeah well you only have three books

correct

well yeah so yeah clockwork orange

um jurassic park um

and a million little pieces which is the

oprah

book that was a lie from that guy

right so i’ll you know it’ll be the most

i’m i’m just thinking in the middle of

the night whenever i wake up from a

nightmare

what’s the what will come and hillbilly

elegy

okay oh you added a new one okay yep

well okay so i saw the trailer for that

movie and was like oh i have to

get it well you know i guess you know

to our listeners this this is another

spa

well it’s not a sponsor but here’s a

free advertisement cameron does this

business

middle of the night you have a scary

dream you can call him up

he will bill your insurance so just go

straight to your insurance so you don’t

even have to worry about payment or

anything

yeah because because as you emphatically

argued in congress

this is a medical procedure

yeah all right um anyway do you want to

do you want to move on to the next clip

sure all right as long as you

acknowledge

that them leaving was not my fault

if anything it was dj dylan’s fault

nope and look at look at dj dylan’s face

and you try to accuse him

of something being his fault impossible

you can’t nope

the thought hurt whenever it tried to

happen for a second yep

but yeah let’s let’s go ahead and move

on to the next one

[Music]

this is a dating app specifically for

mediums

it’s called medium meetup okay and to

clarify this isn’t like

the size of clothing they wear

i actually don’t know that okay because

i haven’t asked the clothing size of our

of the people on the side okay but the

this is for people whose

profession is a medium people who who

speak to the dead people who

who can access the spiritual realm right

and speak to people who have passed and

fortune tellers psychics so it seems

like

okay so this is specifically for

mediums to meet other mediums yes and

i guess that that would be a big thing

for them to have in common

okay and one of the one of the coolest

things about this

new dating site is what would you guess

the

the url of this site would be

mediummeetups.com

no wrong okay try again

medium meetups app.com

medium meetups okay dr london you’re

already

wrong because it’s not a url at all

no it’s a state of mind because these

are mediums right they can they can

access the spiritual realm they can

speak to people on the other side but

they also

can communicate without speaking sure

just like i was doing earlier to you

when i was describing the after dark

after dark concept and because i wasn’t

immediate i feel like you’re confusing

the term psychic with medium

for once so you’re you weren’t a medium

yeah you also weren’t as psychic you

couldn’t because

a psychic that’s that’s the classic idea

where it’s someone who can push

you know thoughts or feelings or

whatever into someone else’s mind

whereas a medium is like you said

communicating with the dead

unless you think that one of us is dead

then that i can’t guarantee

that on either of our parts okay

okay so anyway so they these these

mediums

yup communicate they use the app

there’s no app they use the

there’s no website they use their powers

to communicate with each other and then

say hey we should go to like

i mean do you like dominoes or pizza hut

well i’m you know i was raised

with pizza hut so i guess that’s what i

prefer but

you know it doesn’t really bother me as

long as it’s not papa john’s he’s like

well actually i like papa john’s i would

say that’s maybe my favorite

why do they why do they need medium meat

up at all it sounds like they

this is just how they communicate anyway

basically

what it does is it uh you pay for the

service

and it gives you a secret code so then

in

their spiritual world or wherever you

know you’re hearing all these different

voices

they’re able to just zone in on the

secret code okay that’s someone else

using

the the site and it’s not a site

nope so is there one person who’s just

one medium

who is creating this code and

pushing that thought out there or is

there a dead person doing

that’s what i’m to get the code you do

have to download an app

okay so there’s one part that’s that’s

an

actual physical thing when it’s like a

series of apps

okay because you have to download the

medium store

first the medium play store that allows

you to

access all the apps in the store and

then from there you’ve got to download

the

media meetup code generating app

and then you just use that app

yeah so it’s really just two okay well

it’s

it sounds and then it gives you it

generates a code and then you just think

about that code really hard

and then other people start popping up

on your little grid or whatever

yeah okay well admittedly i you know

i’m would not i’m not i wouldn’t claim

to be a medium

so i can’t really speak to how this

technology would affect

a medium so with that in mind i guess

we can just be thankful that they chose

to sponsor through us because i guess

maybe some of our listeners are mediums

and this is a great way to

yeah to reach i have to think a huge

part of relationship

is mediums yeah primarily children

yeah okay yeah well you know that’s

right sixth sense

yeah yeah i guess that

he seemed like more of an exception

maybe but maybe that’s just normal

yeah once again i don’t know enough

about this to speak to it okay

yeah no that’s no one was questioning

that okay dr london

all right well i guess people might not

believe in ghosts but they at least

believe in your incompetence

okay well um okay anything else on the

ad copy for media meetups

um it says to not

look up the ceo it says don’t google him

okay i so tourist and his name has been

blacked out so i can’t

but it says like don’t look into the

company don’t investigate it too much

don’t think about it too hard just

download the apps

that’s that says in huge letters okay so

that’s an old cat okay

well tour listeners please you know

follow that it sounds like you wouldn’t

need to look it up to if you’re a medium

i’m sure you’re already

maybe tertiary like have some awareness

of this app

so um thank you for the to our sponsor

so that was you know a great sponsor

they were very kind to

to join an advertise on our podcast

what so it seemed odd to me at the time

that they chose us because

i mean cameron you don’t have any

history of being a medium correct uh

i mean i definitely was when i was

uh you know maybe a little bit a little

bit lighter

you know i if i lost a few pounds i

could probably go back to being a medium

yes okay well this is that’s the same

joke that i made in the clip that we

just heard

yes yeah yeah and well the joke that i

made for

any case but yes um

that’s that’s not the the issue to which

i was referring

uh but the you know people who can speak

with the dead

so i’m wondering

well first of all and this is really to

our listeners i guess

who looked up the ceo who who looked up

all the details in this company because

we

got blowback yeah and

and it’s it’s it’s just frustrating

because like there’s one condition

one condition don’t look it up

we told y’all we tried to warn y’all

the second you did it your ip address

was tracked

they knew it came straight from this

podcast

and like london said they blew out our

backs

they while while we were sleeping in the

middle of the night they took baseball

bats

they beat our spines up and now my back

is

killing me dr london yeah and mine feels

great now i think they hit it just the

right way

yeah very frustrating that they that

they broke in to do that because i did

have to

i’d have to replace the lock but like i

i i’m thinking about replacing the locks

anyway okay well i’m permanently injured

but sure

yeah i’m sorry about your locks uh

i accept your apology so

anyway to our listeners uh

the other issue that came about not just

the um

physical uh beatings is that now cameron

and i are both haunted

and uh so that i

could not speak to the dead before

now i don’t just to make a point

but they do speak to me now um

i don’t know cameron have you had the

same issue because it seems like

deliberate them setting

something on me yeah i mean

how can i put this the the reason you

have this ability is also the same

reason i don’t it was kind of a trade

you feel me wait so i thought it was

just a punishment

for uh our listeners looking up

the company details it was it was a

punishment

on the person who looked at the

company’s details

and then that person um maybe

sort of passed it to you

in your cereal cameron were you the one

who looked up the company details

like was this you there it’s impossible

to know

you you allowed me to

admonish our listeners whenever you were

guilty of the crime

and again it’s impo it’s impossible to

know

fully because of

um sort of the way

you know glue global warming has

affected all of us in different ways

you know yeah so

okay well you know long story short

there

now uh my great aunt who like i

i didn’t know i i don’t have a reason to

know like i

we didn’t like even that side of the

family or that part of the family didn’t

really

talk as much so like i have no reason to

talk to this person

but now she’s scaring you up yeah she is

she asking you for stuff or is it just

like to chitchat

it’s it’s mostly it’s it’s the worst

option which is chit chat she’ll

she’ll pop up and be like what’s that

about my phone

i’ll have to explain to her technology

and she’s like well i don’t understand

and i’m like well then i why are you

ghostly appearing here because i have to

re-explain

it every time yeah she and so it’s not

like there’s unfinished business

it’s mostly just to be just to ask about

what’s going on in the world yeah

and like she she has such a terrible

memory that like

she every time you explain it to her she

comes back again and is like

so what is that and you’re like yeah

it’s a phone

still i don’t who is sercia ronan

am i supposed to know who that is

yeah and then anyway

just so so anyway

to the sponsor thank you for sponsoring

us we want you back

um i don’t maybe i can put more parental

controls on

cameron’s web searches there are already

controls in place

but i guess we can put more not on the

search engine that i’m using

you have not heard it you’re too old

just for us kids no adults allowed

is this the engine you have running out

back

the because i have heard that one

but i i said no adults allowed so why

you’re not supposed to know about it

well it’s it’s a very loud machine no

that’s not fair i said no adults allowed

go away okay we can we can go onto our

you know the next these sponsors that

you know once again we’re just trying

trying to win these guys back by giving

a little free ad space

and then hopefully hopefully coax them

in

[Music]

all right what’s the sponsor

toes just says toes

you might just be looking at your own

toes because they’re on your mind right

now no no no it’s an email here look at

my phone it’s

that’s an email it says sponsor toes

and look there’s the payment yeah huh

all right all right well thank you to

our sponsor well

let’s let’s you know pump it up a little

toes are great

um yeah no i use them every day again

they they paid us

and i don’t know who this is but we do

want them to be happy yeah you know

a happy sponsor so toes you got 10 of

them um

maybe a couple more maybe a couple less

yeah depending

help you stand um you can pick things up

with them

i can’t obviously because of the yeah

the odd shape and

but but you’re an exception like that

generally most people can yeah yeah

and i understand that yeah um animals

have toes

animals have toes super cute cats have

you know little toes and stuff

yeah all right that’s it all right thank

you to our sponsor

toes okay

so i i didn’t even want to do to to

cover the sponsor just because of

just how much blowback we’ve had

i it’s yeah well i don’t think either of

us

knew how powerful the tow lobby was

um first of all there’s a finger lobby

didn’t know that either

i didn’t know there was a toe lob i

didn’t know any of this um

so so there is a movement apparently and

we don’t we we pointedly avoid getting

into politics

but the toe movement

i don’t know if you’ve heard of all the

the rioting the fire is eluding

it’s all highly associated with the toe

movement and

it’s sort of these uh

i don’t i don’t know how you call it

except for maybe like toe enthusiasts

and they’re they’re violently

enthusiastic you know

about toes you know people think that

they might be

protesting something or or something

like that no it’s just they’re so

excited about it that they kind of go

out of control

some of them and you’ll you can see you

can’t tell all of them

like at a glance you can’t necessarily

tell who that they are toe

enthusiasts but some of them will be

holding a severed toe

this is rare but i’ve seen it there’s a

video footage of one

uh i think you just look up toe

enthusiast

um severed on on youtube whatever

and you know there’s a point

oh no i’m not i’m looking now you’re

gonna have to be more specific because

there’s so many of these videos

yeah i’m i’m trying to think of even

well i mean the one i’m thinking of

it had an instagram model

and she like she was going on about

why she loves toes and it

and to clarify this isn’t like a fetish

thing this isn’t people who

you know are kind of turned on by toes

or any of that

these are no this is a pull these are

just people who

are think toes are really valuable which

we all do yeah oh

i love it yeah toes are great maybe but

maybe to somewhat of an extreme degree

yeah well

the amount of people talk about you know

this

uh just the numbers from this the

pandemic

and everything else and how you know

just it’s it’s very sad

how many passed away but like the amount

of violent

toe enthusiast related assaults

and it hasn’t abated with any

of the the the events of the last year

it has been steady and once again we

didn’t know this when we ran the ad

we had no we didn’t know this but we do

i mean we do want to apologize

yes i am so sorry both to our listeners

um and also to the tow lobby because

ultimately we do want them as a sponsor

again

yeah and that’s and that’s the

frustrating part is that we are we are

walking the line here where we say

it’s irresponsible to be supporting

such a um such a movement that has such

just very strong ties to extremism

um we we don’t want that but we also

want the sponsor we

like we want to generate revenue we need

the sponsorship yeah we need the money

from the

money would be really i need the money

from the sponsorship and

i love toes like not again not in the

fetish way but just

and not not to help the staff a

non-violent or weird

not a toe enthusiast way

no but no i i like i

said in that sponsorship and i meant it

by the way i do use my toes every day

like that’s it’s a part of me yeah and i

think that’s

that’s pretty dang cool and i’m sorry if

that upsets some people

and it will and i i know i recognize

that there’s no way to just

to to say this and sound unbiased and

sound like

you know politically unaffiliated and

religiously unaffiliated

like i know i recognize that there are

there are

existing uh norms and trends

but just as i’m tr i’m trying to to make

the point clear on my part that i don’t

you know

i i value inclusivity i i recognize the

validity of people

regardless of the toe i you know maybe

we

maybe we should move on from there i

feel like we’ve covered it

yeah we got to stop talking about the

toe

cameron do we have a sponsor today that

is right dr london i actually

am very very excited about this sponsor

i’m always excited about our sponsors of

course but

this i mean this is incredible

technology

are you excited to hear about it yeah

yeah i’m you know we’re always trying to

be on sort of the cutting edge

you know both with our medical knowledge

but also with

uh yeah any sort of technological front

especially with telemedicine

well this is not the telemedicine

company so

maybe this could be something that you

could use to i don’t know impress some

of your patients this is actually a

clothing

company that we’re working with and this

they’ve invented something here which is

incredible which

i’m sure you’ve seen people who have um

you know kind of t-shirts and they might

have like sort of different light up

displays on them

or you’ve seen like uh maybe a

holographic looking kind of image on

this shirt

this company they’ve been able to put

full i mean full huge gifts

moving images on t-shirts

isn’t that i mean that’s amazing right

oh well like uh i guess so like

i would assume like what’s your what’s

your favorite gift dr lennon is there a

gift that you see on the internet every

once in a while

yeah i think it’s uh i think it’s from

like an infomercial

a guy who’s holding a bunch of stuff and

then he trips

yeah i know he drops everything yeah you

could put that on a shirt

or i have one where a guy he’s like

eating something and then he gives a

thumbs up i think that one’s hilarious

and you’ve got mail oh wait hold on i

just got an email from

the company they

they said okay they’re

still working on the feature to have

custom gifts like that

but currently you can choose from the

gifts that they self-select

okay okay that’s cool so for right now

you can’t you can’t upload your own

gifts but

the company i’m i’m sure has like some

awesome

uh little you know looping funny images

and and different

animations and who knows who maybe

spongebob is on there i i don’t know

who knows that you’ve got mail okay it

says

no spongebob no spider-man no

no characters of any kind well that’s

specific but like so like

the one i mentioned might have yeah or

maybe it was something like that

maybe it’s just to give someone giving a

thumbs up or or

smiling you’ve got mail oh wait hold on

no i got another email that says no

nothing like that

actually we’ve only been able to get one

gift to work

so far and it’s of a rat giving birth

okay so really

it’s not so much a like a gift

shirt as it is a gift of a

rat giving birth shirt yeah i get

it’s well i mean it is a gift shirt

it’s just the only gift that can exist

on it you’ve got

mail one oh he sent it over oh

that is man that’s yeah

there’s a lot of blood for one thing and

it

mixed with the so i guess i mean we dr

lynn we cannot lose the sponsor we can’t

be

like grossed out or rude about it yeah

you were telling me

like this is our best sponsor so far

just in terms of communication

and how sort of excited

both parties were to to have them on the

podcast in an email

rather than like a like a series of

toilet paper

rolls is huge that’s

brand new for well for you uh

so okay if you want a cool piece of

technology and you want to you know

where to school

or you know you know where to your job

or dr london where to your hospital or

whatever

if you want to wear a cool moving shirt

of a a rat giving live birth

um well i guess mostly live birth i

don’t

that one’s not moving oh man

okay and also if you want to wear a

shirt

what’s the name we’re at giving birth

and maybe having

like a partial miscarriage then you just

want to contact

our sponsor deadratshirt.com

okay so so they bought the appropriate

url well no this the weird thing is is

that it’s called

dead rat shirt and this is the opposite

of death it’s them

giving life i guess it’s ironic in that

way it’s

it’s not the complete opposite because

it’s

all mixed in there isn’t it of what’s

being birthed i mean i guess that’s kind

of beautiful

it’s life and death sort of you know yin

and yang

kind of all tangled in there i

i guess there’s there’s some poetry

in there i’m sure this gif has looped

once it’s just been playing this whole

time for like 10 minutes

i feel like if they can fit this on a

shirt they should be able to fit the guy

giving a thumbs up or whatever

right i would think so i you know i

don’t

i’ve been critical of sponsors before

and then we lose i don’t know the tech

well anyway uh yeah dead

deadrattshirts.com um just go there get

your shirt

and um wear it to school you know i’m

sorry uh

just for the listeners because i’m not

positive about the situation but

so the shirt came over on a person

like someone’s wearing it and it looks

blocky and i’m wondering if it’s

like if there’s just a screen cut out

anyway oh you think the person that they

came over to demo it just had like a tv

under the shirt like because it looks

like sort of a teletubby attempt

like that style of having a belly yeah

but like

it looks really boxy

yeah it looks messed up is what it looks

like yeah and that’s no offense to you

sir

that we’re just describing the the

product which i guess

as you present it all right

thanks okay so anyway i guess

but um we don’t want to lose our

sponsors so

no this is if this is the sort of

apparel that you preferred to wear

then sure our listeners uh what was the

name of that website again

deadratshirt.com use the promo code

the the red is giving birth

all right so um first off

uh that that was actually i really like

that sponsor

um as we said in the ad it you know they

were they were great they communicated

well

uh i actually yeah i don’t know why the

sponsor dropped us no one’s told me

what did i do did i what did i do wrong

dr london cause i like them too

see here’s the thing

the sponsor do you remember

jeff how the guy who the demo guy who

was

showing it yeah i remember jeff i

invited jeff to my wedding for

god i know i know but

then you had a you had a falling out if

i remember right

because he ruined your wedding and

that’s why you’re not married right

yes yeah we had a bit of a falling out

and you know he was saying that the best

popsicle flavor is cherry and i was

saying that’s ridiculous

that just tastes like medicine it’s got

to be grape

and then but then of course my wife to

be agreed with him

and this is during the best man speech

well i mean this started before the

ceremony and went all the way

to the uh best man speech which usually

happens at the reception

after the ceremony yeah but well you had

an unconventional wedding

yeah it was on a it was on a uh like a

an aircraft carrier yeah so it was super

unconventional yeah

yeah on like a tuesday afternoon but as

i remember it was at 8am

and so it was yeah but that’s afternoon

somewhere

right so yeah so anyway we’re all on

this aircraft carrier

jeff is there uh you know and

of course the pressure’s on because well

as i recall the reason you said why he

needed to do his speech

early was because you needed

like someone to kind of copy a little

bit for your vows

yeah you just needed some speech

material well then i needed someone to

drive the aircraft carrier

right and so i was thinking it assumed

i was thinking if he could do the speech

now then

during the reception afterwards we could

make sure someone’s maintaining the

aircraft carrier it’s not just like left

alone this is a big boat

yeah i mean those things are gigantic i

was very surprised that you

you know got permission that you got an

aircraft carrier yeah

and that they just gave us the keys and

they said you know make sure someone is

is driving this thing yeah because they

were actually pretty

the admiral was very emphatic that he

was unwilling and he sounded scared he

said

unwilling to leave any of his personnel

on board

i you know i don’t think i think that

guy

like has never actually captained a ship

i think it was i thought it was like the

whole time it was maybe like a fraud

thing like he was pretending to be

a like a captain guy you know what i

mean

yeah well so what i thought was that

maybe the ship was haunted and i don’t

know if that’s because

i’m something of a medium now but

he that might be it i just know i asked

him just because i was trying to test

him

i asked him like what’s a sale and all

he did was go

sail like that song

well is that not the answer he went sale

is that the wrong answer

i guess it’s not a wrong answer but it’s

definitely not the answer i was looking

for

well and okay it was another strange

part was that that aircraft carrier did

have sails so which normally

these you know these giant ships uh do

not

they like they’re they’re powered by

engines not

yeah well but this was a green yeah

aircraft very

very climate friendly so anyway

um so so jeff uh the

the demo model i i just

so do i so okay but okay so

because basically he stole my wife

that’s why we lost them as a sponsor

what am i supposed to do about that

i i’m and it’s

honestly i feel bad having to say it

like you know on the podcast or

whatever but like eventually

you will have to move on you mean

i’m gonna finally have to move off of

the aircraft carrier because i haven’t

left

since no well i mean that that fateful

day

no like yeah you’re gonna have to you’re

gonna have to

i mean there there are some there were

smaller boats on there

like there’s a way for you to get off

right uh i

i haven’t checked don’t know i know

you’ve been caught up with

you know uh driving around and trying to

make big waves with it

um you know catching people in your wake

and yeah whatever well then all the the

news

i’ve been reading the news so i’ve been

busy with that too

yeah yeah so but but

regarding jeff i’m not he and i still

keep in touch he and i are great

he’s he’ll he’ll tell me pretty

specifically his problems with you

um and then you can why does he still

have problems with me i didn’t do

anything he showed up to my wedding made

a huge

deal about the popsicle thing out of

nowhere

stole my fiance and then

ripped the sponsor out from under me

well she

is his fiancee now um okay sorry his

wife his wife now

he he stole my fiance and made her

his wife yeah so what what am i supposed

to do am i supposed to apologize for

that

yes so so they’ll facetime me sometimes

and like what does he have to talk about

he has to he has stuff to complain about

admittedly it’s more it seems like she’s

kind of feeding him stuff

like he doesn’t seem to want to there to

be a problem

but she she keeps like

like you can hear it on the video she’s

like

behind every yeah because behind every

everything a man is saying is a woman

being a huge

[ __ ] because he keeps emphasizing

i grant it once again i don’t know

because because if he’s holding back

business then surely she can’t control

all of that

i don’t know i maybe and i once again

carry

i don’t want to be it’s weird to do this

on the podcast but

you know maybe consider that she wasn’t

the best

choice for you

well then who was dr london i

i don’t know if you found her yet you

know um in case

jeff seems super happy with the

arrangement honestly

like jeff is doing great uh yeah

i mean i guess as long as he’s happy

right like yeah i went to their wedding

it was so fun oh man

oh and you you were there right they

they hired you to uh

to to be well what they to serve

to be a footstool for them yeah

i was the the stool boy

which is a new wedding tradition and i

kind of like it it seems

kind of funny it’s one of those

traditions it’s one you know it’s kind

of like

um a few years ago when when saying that

you know throwing shade kind of

kind of came around but that’s really

like an old-timey term that just made

its way back

it’s sort of the same thing this is

actually a tradition from thousands of

years ago that sort of uh

popped back up and become kind of trendy

lately and you got to be opposed

to take the you take the ex fiance

of a person who’s been engaged twice and

um

you have to be like their their

footstool and

yeah so what a privilege for you to be a

part of that wow

yeah it was great and um um you know

it’s just an

honor to be part of the wedding party

yeah and they well

to to be like geographically you were

there

yes you were part in the sense of being

there but like you were kicked a lot

and stepped on and that was mostly your

role

and then if you tried to respond or say

like stop it

you know they would inform you that no

that that goes against tradition

well yeah but i mean that’s my fault for

not knowing tradition

because that was a stupid little

footstool who never got anything right

yeah well okay you’re quoting directly

from your lines

yeah so anyway all right so so our next

clip we actually that that’s all the

sponsors that we really

that we had to try to get back there

might have been

some other one i think there was maybe

one other sponsor this year but that

that company was destroyed uh

so so we did want to cover

um you know we’ve been doing all these

chores we started this chore wheel

over the summer and since we started

doing that

you know we’ve had the mayor reach out

to us we’ve had

uh different like the the city the

government we’ve had all these different

um you know independent charities reach

out we’ve been getting a lot of stuff

done i’m proud of it honestly dr london

but but sometimes we

you know whenever we try to do one of

these

what we call them chores really

sometimes they are just straight up

charity work

uh one of the ones that we did

i think will require commentary

now just to put in the right context for

the world that has

aged since since that was released if

that makes sense

so um so anyway without further ado

here is the uh the chore wheel um

where we where we did a movie review

um we the all of us here today i i don’t

even have to ask i assume that we’ve all

seen the movie that every single person

in the world

is talking about yeah splanter’s choice

splanter’s choice

and every single person is screaming

about how genius this movie is and how

how the cinematography

is so magical and so fluid

and how bronty chauncers was the

greatest actor in the world

and he should win well sorry sorry sorry

go on and that uh that everything about

it is genius and you know what

frankly i have to agree

sponsor’s choice it’s an incredible film

yes everything about it mesmerized me i

mean the part

where the mountain actually was a hole

and everyone was just looking at it

upside down

and then once they realized it it caused

them to fall and then splanter said

that part cracked me up but then also

made me think

i thought about that for days

yeah no no that’s a good take that’s a

good take cameron um

and that’s well thought out but i guess

if you’re looking at movies with the

critical eye

which is kind of just how i view

everything here we go again

yeah so splandre’s choice

maybe not the movie for everyone is is

what i thought

so split it’s not for pretentious

doctors is that what you’re about to say

i look i don’t mean to have these

opinions just

when i watched it i thought what i

thought so

the main character splaunter first of

all

not this actor’s best work uh oh yeah

then what is

to tell me what is what has he done

better

uh what is braunsch chonker since done

better

transtonia you remember transtonia

okay that’s fair yeah that was from a

different

time before we had 4d

screenings but sure yeah that’s fine

i’ll agree

that that movie definitely trans tony i

mean

i have to respect i have to respect it

for at least putting

i mean floppy flashers on the map

yeah so so anyway so in splonter’s

choice

the issue that i had with there came a

point in the movie and i don’t want to

spoil anything but

splanter did have to make that choice

and it was tough yeah it was tough

the fact that a full 10 minutes of the

movie

full 10 minutes was just him reading a

book on the subject

to make sure he made the right choice

and just

it was multiple camera angles that’s

called character development are you

kidding me

how are you going to establish that he’s

making the choice

that’s actually informed if you don’t

spend time establishing that i mean

most movies will do a montage but there

was also no music

there was nothing it was just splanter

reading book and i’m sorry you know what

it’s instead of a soundtrack it was just

the sounds of a baby crying

which i thought was genius how

subversive and and

crazy is that yeah which no mention of

children

in the movie besides that sound like

there’s no wrestling

implied that they’re off screen dr

london

okay so sorry uh dr boudreau

um well this is this is this is dino go

to brunch all over again and you just

you hated dyno go to brunch because you

said there wasn’t enough brunch and you

said it was too late in the day for

brunch that’s right which is insane you

know that brunch can go to 4 p.m

lots of restaurants offer it till 4 p.m

not in the country that it was

oh my god i’ll maintain that

can i please hear hear your thoughts on

this film um

well the movie

i i wish you would have known how much i

i don’t enjoy

dramas uh before you asked me to watch

this movie

i mean sure sure there was that moment

with splanter and uh

you know the pie and that was great uh

but bronte

chancers is absolutely uh no will

ferrell

no i mean uh the whole

the whole movie i’m waiting for frank to

the tank to show up

and instead um the mountain’s a whole

and uh you know we’re reading for 10

minutes

and it you know for 10 minutes without a

laugh

that is uh you know the um

what is that the laugh to cry um

ratio yeah it wasn’t good

it wasn’t good but i will say

it was beautiful

that cinematography was breathtaking

and you know i mean if we go to joseph

campbell we take a look at the hero with

the thousand

faces you got it with splanter his

choice

it was an epic choice and major

ramifications the mountains a whole

that was a twist i didn’t expect to see

um the pie

i tell you tell me you laughed at the

pie right i laughed at the pie

we all laughing i mean i’m a human

who laughs and sometimes

check out the pie and splanter’s choice

don’t besmirch the name of america’s

greatest comedian

um i’m really sorry about that that’s

okay

um but i mean i was happy

that i branched out and saw something

that wasn’t the three movies

that i’ve watched pretty much every day

for the last uh

five years so that was nice

so thank you gentlemen for uh you know

teaching this old dog a new trick okay

all right there it is yeah

the trick being to to watch and watch

something different yeah

yeah usually yeah my my genre

of comedy great comedy films

the lenny bruce

yeah the lenny bruce stand up special

here’s my here’s here it is this is the

trinity of comedy to me

the lenny bruce stand up special muppets

take manhattan

old school into old school

okay wow so that’s that’s done then

we finished that chore for for this week

at least

all right so yeah so that was that was

the

the movie review which um you know

splonter’s choice

uh is nominated for how many awards

um uh i mean

i think every category i think every

category yeah

uh but then you know and first four in

short which uh

it only it it only well it won it but

like on a technicality because

it shouldn’t have it didn’t technically

meet the parameters but

but they you know the filmmakers really

pushed for it

it was i mean you our listeners would

have would have read about it in the

news

but um when they petition congress

so the the problem turned out to be

that the actor who played splanter and

sponsors choice

did some things

and i you know to to to

treat a a movie review like a light

thing

normally is fine but there was just too

much with this

you know it’s it’s like when any actor

gets canceled

uh bronte john cersens

um go ahead i i can’t

i don’t want to like i have difficulty

comprehending what he did honestly

so you want me to yeah if you would i

just

i mean um so

uh i mean what’s the point of even

talking about when everyone knows

he stole the statue of liberty yeah and

that’s he divided it up

and uh gave it to the least free

countries by capita

wow um

and he live he live streamed the whole

thing

part of me wants to think that he didn’t

recognize the the importance of the

statue

or the statement that he was inherently

made

no you’re just giving him a you’re

giving him an out

yeah well well so that is what i thought

until he went

on to numerous talk shows and

said i have your freedom now

it belongs to the unfree

and that’s not some courteous thing

that’s not me

saying i’m still quoting him here that’s

not me

saying that i want them that freedom

that is me saying

your freedom is gone this is how i cage

it

and then end quote i pointed to a pick

of

nick cage just as i guess a joke

i guess he thought that would lighten

the mood a bit from uh

which it did yeah people laughed a lot

of people laughed and

but that only made it more uncomfortable

after the laughter stopped

yeah after like 45 minutes when when

they finally stopped laughing it

because it was it was just a very well

timed joke which

once again you’re you’re you’re so

i i don’t you’re mad because

you recognize this actor is so so

talented

and then they just throw away the statue

of liberty

yep and it

and we’ve all we especially i mean dr

london

as our profiles have risen

recently uh you know there is sort of a

temptation as a celebrity you have

access to things that you know a normal

person isn’t going to have access to

yeah and i want to say right now you

know

as you and i rise well me more than you

as we rise up with the popularity of

this podcast

um i’m not going to give in to all that

i’m not going to give in to all the

celebrity stuff

i never would ex that would be shocking

if you did i would i would could not

even anticipate such a thing

yes you’re a professional yeah and my

focus is on medicine it’s it’s the it’s

the life-saving work

and uh annie and i i want to make it

clear now

you know just just to dispel any any

other

thought it takes my full concentration

to do what i do i i couldn’t

you know go and hang out with all these

whatever celebrities like i’m i’m so

focused on right if you were partying

with all the celebs and the movie stars

and pop stars and

and you know the dust twins and all

these people then

you you wouldn’t have time to really

focus on medicine you’re not that kind

of guy

and this that’s why you that’s why there

should be more

famous people like you dr london who are

humble

and stay out of that hollywood lifestyle

yeah i don’t want to

you know claim anything or push myself

up to be something i’m

not but like i’m just i’m just a person

trying to make their way through

life and any case

so so i just you know just to say you

know i’m

we don’t want to be

like a bronte johnsterson type

i guess just because we have access to

these new fancy helicopters that can

grab giant statues doesn’t mean that

we’re headed to

brazil to steal that giant jesus statue

these

these helicopters are standard issue

like this is just what you can get

like it’s not this is yeah it’s not

anything special at all it’s just we

have the same helicopters that any one

of our stature is going to have

and uh we make we’re going to make that

pledge to you

our audience today yes

that we will not be stealing the money

lisa or the eiffel tower or any of these

these monuments of pisa no

no we’re not going to touch it and i do

want to clarify the helicopter thing we

would have had to pay more

to make it unable to lift statues

that’s that’s what i mean oh yeah

for sure like you would have to really

significantly

you’d have to have a mechanic crawl in

there and power it down

it’s like how sometimes the

like getting a car

can also you know the ability to run

over people is built into the car

there’s nothing you can do about that

i do well but that’s not why you’re

buying it

you’re buying it because you’re trying

to go to the grocery store that’s why

you buy the car yeah

or a tank or whatever but the function

of being able to run over people

is is built in unfortunately i wish it

wasn’t but there’s nothing you can do

about it and it would cost

more to to try to undo that yeah

so anyway just just our promise to you

as a podcast to our listeners

you know just only because you know

this actor displayed such such

irresponsible behavior with his platform

and um we just want to distinguish

ourselves from that

and say you know we won’t give in to the

celebrity status stuff we

we’re just focused on you the listener

and that’s right anything else will be

uh and i’ll say it now it if i did

anything else it would be a distraction

and it would be an unethical distraction

i

you could try me by an ethical committee

and they would find

issue with that like legally

as well so anyway

um so that uh i guess that finishes up

kind of all we were going to do you know

we’re in this we’re in this holiday

season but we wanted to squeeze in

this chance to just uh you know reach

out to these sponsors and

follow up with this uh this one chore

wheel we’ve heard back up from a lot of

these tour wheels and maybe we’ll start

to bring those out a little bit more

uh where we you know there’s there’s

just follow-up

that we could do because there were so

many um

where where the various mayors and

uh continental congresses where they’ve

all thanked us

or things have gotten worse anyway

a number of things but any case we’re

we’re finished with this one i think

cameron i think we’re we’re good we got

everything we need so i mean

you’re not gonna fire me right i still

have a job

uh that’s something that i can’t

what what makes you ask that i guess

would be the

well this whole session was chastising

me for losing

sponsors and and not being able to

predict

a man being cancelled so i’m just

wondering am i i mean am i am i

am i okay well

and no no i know that i said that you

you have to

to let your wife go you have to move on

but if you can somehow

work that relationship into

us having that sponsor back

i that that would do you see what i’m

getting at here like just

just i gotta i gotta get the sponsor

back or i’m gonna lose my job

yes and you already have it in

it’s not even you know it’s not even

guesswork it’s like you already

you’re already familiar uh i and i wanna

i’m pretty hands off you know

you take care of the sponsor stuff i’m

i’ll hang out with

jeff but uh and his lovely wife

uh your ex-fiancee but

you know i don’t want to be more

involved than that you know just social

yeah more involved than

i mean planning their wedding yeah

yeah no more than which is what you

would

yeah what you had done which everyone

had told me that that would be very

stressful but

i i think it just depends on the color

oh was it easy it was just really easy

to do

well whenever a couple has a strong

enough bond

right it just makes it so easy yeah

like i and i like i don’t even think it

was my

you know my planning skills but like

that they just made it work

so well and they looked so great at the

wedding it was

yeah you can tell when they’re happy it

just makes you happier too with your and

it makes the job easier it’s not even a

job at that point right

that’s absolutely right it was so i mean

you yeah

you saw that picture i know you couldn’t

see from where you were

um laying down after they put me in the

coat closet

after they were done using me as a

footstool yeah yeah

i know you couldn’t see it from there

but like gorgeous wedding

the reception oh yeah it looked

beautiful yeah

oh they allowed you to see pictures they

told me they wouldn’t let you see

pictures

uh i it sounded beautiful it just it

sounded really beautiful

yeah through the through the coats and

shoes the cleats that they kept putting

on you

they’re stepping on anyway um

yeah so i guess to answer your question

you know do your job uh find some

sponsors find

let’s find some better guests this next

year maybe

okay and uh we’re gonna find i’ll find

i’m gonna find you

like clinical scientist types and uh

this is i’m gonna i’m gonna guarantee

that by this time next year

on this podcast we will have revealed

the 10 secrets of the medical world

[Music]

but like also just get the good guests

and

also you know like

good sponsors that will stay with us and

don’t threaten or hurt them

or you know have well

i mean how else am i gonna get the

secrets out of them if

there’s not gonna be any threatening

going on okay we can talk about all this

yeah we’ll figure this out later i think

we’re about done

okay so anyway um to our listeners happy

[Music]

see ya

[Music]

[Music]

the room is uncomfortably crowded you

murmur apologies as you

shift position slightly but it does

nothing to alleviate your discomfort

and the faces around you almost appear

more stern in response

if that were possible tough crowd

you almost chuckled to yourself before

you regained composure

time passes and you grow increasingly

frustrated with

the claustrophobia so you start to try

to make room by

pushing out from your elbows but as soon

as that pressure releases

the gap is filled once again

that’s it you’ve had enough you push

your way through the throng to the door

bodies shoved aside by the bulk of it

and breathe in a breath of fresh air

one thing is slowly becoming clear your

stuffed animals are becoming more of a

nuisance than a comforting presence at

this point
