Hello and welcome to the jock doc podcast
featuring Dr. London Smith. He’s a medical freak with a fit physique. I’m DJ Dylan. Now introducing your host Dr. London Smith.
[Applause]
Hello and welcome to Jock Doc 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
and we have gotten a great deal of listener feedback so first of all thank you all for for your input and your criticisms so some listeners have been confused as to why the podcast is called
jock doc so the simple answer is that I have always been sort of a the classic jock type and in medical school and residency and in my career since people just started calling me the jock doc so
it was a natural fit I’m a fitness and lifestyle coach my spare time and that hobby just sort of spilled into podcasting
-well and you beat me up
here? You want to do this here?
-No, I mean
Let me if you wouldn’t mind I’ll just okay so another listener
-that was one of the reasons cuz you’re kind of a jock cuz you beat me up
Okay well so another listener mentioned that they stopped listening when I use such complicated terms like stethoscope
ambulance and blood pressure cuff so I’ll try to tone it down on the medical jargon
-Yeah that was me I I couldn’t make heads or tails of some of the stuff you were saying
okay and so the one who’s talking that’s our producer Cameron
-kept saying uvula where to even start with that I’m here to make it make things will make a little more sense
right to simplify things because sometimes I get caught up in the nitty gritty the details of you know the pathophysiology involved in medicine and Cameron Mehta hop right med what so
thankfully we have him here today to help me stay relatable in that regard. In addition we are joined as always by due
to the wound in the hose later in the
show Cameron this is what DJ you don’t
want quit
later in the show
DJ Dylan played again this is what DJ
you don’t wanna quit he would come in
with that every 90 seconds or so okay
London go ahead London this is what
later in the show Cameron tells me that
we have a special guest as well we sure
do dr. London so without further ado let
me share a tale from the hospital we had
a young patient who had smoked marijuana
[Music]
so he was presenting a key stick so so
he was presenting with symptoms of
feeling like his stomach was moving that
was this complaint now marijuana is
known for um for helping you relax
however it can also have sort of an
opposite effect because it can cause
paranoia increased anxiety so in the
case of this patient he likely felt
something like his digestive tract
moving food along to peristalsis and
that’s when when the walls of the
digestive tract expand and contract to
move food along
it can also be normal to feel movement
and even to hear sounds yeah but I bet
he was relaxed though you know I’m
talking about you know what I mean
smoking that oh so you smoking because
the smoke no cool pretty relaxed right
you’re telling me that he was so relaxed
that he got paranoid about how relaxed
he was well it’s it’s fine you should
bring that up because it’s actually so
the point I’m actually making here is
that sometimes it can have a
counterintuitive effect because it can
increase your anxiety even though normal
is known for relaxation I don’t get it
can you talk in normal term stock smoke
weed everyday’ yeah I like that guy
so in addition he may also have been
feeling the pulse of his
abdominal aorta which runs me the
bellybutton you’re telling me this
dude smokes so much weed that even his
stomach started tripping out his stomach
got worms crawling around in it
well I mean in a way you could say that
you could say that the digestive tract
is a lot like a big worm in the way that
it can yeah well but it’s it just
happens to be something that we’re born
with and that grows over time you know
but in the same way that a worm sort of
squeeze and contracts and different
parts your digestive tract is the same
thing to move food along you’re telling
me this all happened cuz I smoked weed
has the worm inside him started moving
okay no well that’s so he actually he it
started there’s a worm inside of me
right now okay no I’m actually
so take the comparison is that similar
to the way a worm moves you could
compare that to how your digestive tract
moves fool but so in any case today
we’re actually talking about the lungs
that’s the topic for today so whenever
you breathe every time a few fuel
Cameron you take a breath huh it
probably has upsets all the worms and
your stomach if you’re taking big
breaths like that now it makes sense why
it stomach starts moving like that okay
well that’s
I imagine a big breath like that
probably get your worms going pretty
fast oh and sorry this would be my fault
to clarify you don’t have you don’t
normally have worms in your stomach cuz
I smoked drowns the ones every day right
but actual oak suffocates the worms
pushes them down okay oh and that’s so
so the way breathing actually works is
you have these two sacks in your in your
chest
worms eggs and whenever you breathe in
they they expand they fill with air and
you have little sacs mini sex inside of
those called alveoli and those expand
and they’re like little little balloons
almost and so they fill up with air and
then when you exhale when you let your
breath that then it passes out and so
you have an exchange of fresh air with
oxygen and you breathe out the carbon
dioxide
hi I don’t I don’t buy that the other
day I was in my pool and I took a big I
was well I was down at the bottom I was
doing a tea party and you know what I
mean when you float to the bottom and I
took a big ol breath thinking like oh
it’s probably time for me to take a
breath it’s been about five to 10
seconds it’s pretty normal didn’t get a
single drop of air but but I felt those
worms going I do I do agree with you on
that okay well on that so but there’s
other mumbo-jumbo stuff this is I mean
this is talk we’ve been talking about
this I mean this is about this well this
is a nod so whenever you say you’re
having a tea party yeah at the bottom of
my pool you were happy I was not pool
okay like a quarry so you found a quarry
yeah my quarry so you have a quarry yeah
and you went to the bottom of it for a
tea party can I have some more you know
that kind of tea party yeah
Oliver Twist Tea Party right so so what
happened there was actually that you
were breathing in that sounds like
water your underwater worms can’t live
without water okay well and so in that
scenario
you actually that that’s how drowning
actually happens we’re just running in
circles doc this is the same stuff over
and over again okay so tell me something
I repeat it back you say oh you breathe
into your lungs but you can’t do it at
the bottom of a quarry because it’s
gonna upset the worms in your stomach
make you sick like marijuana I’m saying
if I smoked marijuana before I go to the
bottom of a quarry and take a big breath
in it shouldn’t upset anything following
your same logic the logic that you just
broke down yet I’m telling you I felt
awful I felt so bad after I went to the
bottom that Quarian took a big old
breath in okay and okay i busy sleepy
okay is this might be my fault in part
so one thing I didn’t clarify was that
you’re only breathing in air when you
are above water if you are under water
then you’re gonna be breathing in a
water and so that might have been the
issue you ran into because breathe that
you are not your body is not made to
breathe in water
okay what about Steve’s Isuzu Life
Aquatic with Steve Zissou so I never I’m
none not familiar he’s down under the
water he’s breathing is he in some sort
of submersible well yeah okay so in that
life aquatic okay okay so in that in
that film he’s actually he’s in he’s
breathing in air because his containment
chamber is filled with air even though
that chamber is underwater but what he
is breathing is still oxygen it still is
breathing the same I was were you in a
submersible in the quarry
I was submerged at the bottom of the
quarry having a tea party okay well how
can I make this clear I was at the
bottom I was having a tea party I was
down there with my friends and I took in
a big old breath because it had been
five to ten seconds and said a clerk she
said was okay
upset the worm my stomach had to take a
nap okay so you who were your friends
meeting you at the bottom of the quarry
I passed out so quickly I have no idea
so so to start this tea party did you
know who you were meeting at the bottom
of the water in the quarry well I mean
no not when I got there but I mean by
the time I got down there I mean we were
all down there so gotta make friends
with somebody did you know that there is
a tea party going on at the bottom of
the why did you go down into the bottom
I went to the quarry I smoked marijuana
it upset the worms in my stomach so I
said I’m gonna go down to the bottom of
the quarry have a tea party p-party is
when you sit indian-style and you float
to the bottom okay mine a little Tea
Party met my friends down there blacked
out instantly okay woke up here at this
podcast oh ok so to clarify something
for our listeners one of the first
things you’ll do in a psychological
evaluation or a psychiatric evaluation
is you will rule out drugs as a cause so
in your instance Cameron possibly some
of that may some of what you experienced
may have been due to smoking of the
marijuana it could have had some effects
on your your experience so you’re saying
if I hadn’t smoked I would have been
able to take a big old breath when I was
down there have my tea parties my
friends I am NOT saying that but I
wouldn’t get so sleepy afterwards wake
up at a podcast so you know why don’t we
go ahead we can move on from now do you
have any spots oh okay okay sorry to
clarify when you smoked marijuana that
may have altered your judgment and then
you went underwater in search of a tea
party no I went down there to have a tea
party there were guys already down there
having a tea party I made friends with
them went to sleep
shortly before woke up here you inhaled
water well yeah I was telling there five
and seconds gotta take a breath blacked
out and also woke up here yes okay well
did there’s enough of your experience
that I’m not sure you were fully aware
of that I’m not sure if I can actually
you know follow exactly but so I’ll go
ahead and take your word for it on this
one but I guess we’ll go ahead and
transition into our the next segment
Cameron you said you had something
prepared yeah dr. London we actually
have a kind of a fun quiz okay it’s a
sort of a personality type of test it’s
called which genius are you I know you a
lot of your heroes or are geniuses from
the past and I thought it’d be kind of
fun to see which one you are okay that
sense it sounds nice like maybe a little
bit off like what kind of geniuses do
you mean like Leonardo da Vinci Einstein
Bill Nye Neil deGrasse Tyson my grandpa
your Grandpa’s on the list
yeah let’s begin you ready I get that
sense yes okay question number one it’s
a Friday night a night out with the
girls what are you wearing a sky-high
stilettos B red lipstick or C a little
black dress and this this helps us to
tell which genius you are yes okay which
of those would I’d be most likely to
wear I guess would I guess the shoes
this is still at a it’s the those shoes
okay number two a guy flirts with you at
the bar how do you respond a flirt back
B lean in for a kiss or C act coy I’m
guessing most likely I would I guess C
act coy I wouldn’t I wouldn’t lean in
for a kiss I don’t think your loss
question number three he invites you
back to his place what do you say a yes
B no way C no
but you really mean yes okay for that
one up B no way would be my answer a
little bit of a prude
not surprising question number four
turns out he’s a murderer what he’s
about to hit you in the head with a
crowbar what do you do a runaway be
leaned in for a kiss or C accept your
fate and get ready to be reunited with
your grandpa in the afterlife a runaway
is is what I would do
okay let me just get all of these in
here this is to tell which of the
geniuses yeah it’s full of these quizzes
have I think said 98% accuracy who who
said that which website at the top of
the website
oh okay your results are in
you are my grandpa you’re a tough
no-nonsense man you’re a little racist
and incontinent you’re just as
comfortable with a night out with the
girls as you are at home and above all
else you will never be allowed back at
the Valero near your house ever again
well sure exactly um sure okay well
thank you for that quiz Cameron yeah of
course yeah so now we know that of all
the geniuses throughout history I am
most like your grandpa yeah according to
that quiz alright let’s talk let’s
listen to uh we’ve got an advertisement
here if you gonna talk to about one of
our sponsors if that’s okay dr. London

babbling all about worms and your
stomach all the time my worms Oh today

it’s a multimedia hub okay it’s a little
confusing to me but uh so we’ll just
move on from there do we have any guests
today Cameron I think so I think it’s
just you and me oh wait yeah we do just
in the other yeah we’ve got one guest
okay good yeah that’s like–that’s i
that should be plenty yeah and if

took a big breath in yeah I know and you
woke up here where are you having that
tea party with my friends all right dr.
London we’ve got a guest here today
aren’t you excited for it yeah yeah you
said you were bringing in professional
today yeah of someone who’s a little bit
of an expert in the medical community
you’ve probably heard of her we’ve got
mrs. Smith here with us right now wait
you you my mom uh yes yeah I mean
technically yeah wait it’s like I always
told you the hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world yeah
so where’s that in your in your medical
textbook it’s that’s not all this
testimony oh I’m a doctor I’m working on
all these people and I don’t even know
these common phrases well I am so proud
of him that’s the thing and really
whenever I think of
my dedication raising him it I’m telling
you it almost brings tears to my eyes
you know I wish we could just wear in
our common life little outfits with
badges and things like I could have
doctor’s mom like one time I was
homecoming queen it could be a permanent
butcher okay and I don’t mrs. Madison
I’m learning more about medicine right
now than I’ve ever learned listening to
dr. Smith talk well I appreciate it
Cameron did you think maybe you could
have like mentioned like not not to like
I appreciate having my mom around but
it’s not this is sort of a medical show
we usually try to bring on medical
expert yeah he’s more of a medical
expert than the person who raised dr.
Smith do you see how he’s getting a
little nervous and here’s what we need
to do he’s actively mean here’s what we
need to do come calm down breathe London
I want you to breathe just okay do you
notice how we’re how we are connected
when we do this now breathe breathe the
weight yeah okay and that does connect
to our theme for this episode would keep
no swish-swish
do it okay now I’m gonna do it and you
just can continue swish swish swish
never forget whose vagina you came out
of
it’s your strength yeah mm-hmm really I
know so with all this medical school
remember you came from me I gave you
your brain and now you’ve finished
medical school and I have evolved okay
and well I wish I had heard this
conversation before I spent so much
money on medical school I’m sorry you
went to medical school Cameron hell yeah
I did too did you finish Medical School
I mean no I’m sorry but I’m excited
about that what I’d like to announce
is for all the money who cares about how
much money was spent on medical school
because here’s the breakthrough the
Catholic Church is all about and I so
appreciate this they noticed a mother
like Jesus’s mother and I’m telling you
Jesus is perfect but only London
London’s a doctor and me humble as I am
I believe we could have a little church
about transubstantiation
well it’s you know there’s the the
Virgin Mother yes
yeah that’s and that’s a big deal and
I’m not even pretending no virgin here
okay but but really when you think about
it he is a doctor it’s respectable and
you know I’m just a humble servant
I could start a church not the Virgin
Mother just the mother like the MD
mother
oh it’s London’s Mother Church and
here’s what you have to do this is this
is the surprise and why I did the swish
okay let’s do it again ready here we go
get in the zone and here we go tonight
can I do this – yes great yes oh you
know I wasted so much money on medical
adoption papers for you I’ve gotten so
much dad okay everyone tune in okay get
in the zone okay get in the zone wait
first wait a minute
first let’s do that I am The Walrus and
then we’ll all do that you are me and
you know things like that okay we are
veering a woman from no no that’s how
you have to start now where are you
ready for swishing okay it’s like flying
in the air ready okay to the left yes
yes yes okay now okay now if so does
someone have any ailment
I think dr. London does right what about
he had worms in his stomach okay no
that’s actually I was describing her
peristalsis works how moved just food
just moves through our digestive tract
but I told him what I’ve learned from my
medical training is that if you were to
smoke some cigarettes probably kill the
worms okay and that’s actually not true
I should clarify for Allah no
you want to know what the truth is
London I’m gonna tell you and lemons
gonna swish it to me are we ready swoosh
okay the truth is if you are digging in
your yard put on gloves before you plant
in the dirt see this makes sense yeah I
don’t have I don’t have any qualms with
that I maybe something did transfer
they’re serious okay
what wow thank you so much thank you so
much you that’s that’s been a big help
you know if you ever doubt yourself or
wonder whether or not you can do
something you know I’ve taught you this
your whole life and really we should
tell everybody especially our producers
know my son oh ok if you doubt yourself
and and and you’re not you’re not sure
what to do I want you to focus and just
pretend you’re me pretend you’re me
pretend you’re me and then say I can do
it I can do it and then just go on out
there and do it and let me tell you you
see this MD doctor right here that’s how
he got through Medical School yeah that
makes sense that I was you absolutely in
his weakest moments in his weakest I
mean I’m gonna be honest I know he’s an
MD doctor but most of the time I see an
imbecile ok I just say MD mama
absolutely I was about to say the same
thing yeah yeah what well thank you so
much for being on the show and thank you
Cameron for finding my mom to be on the
show
absolutely uh-huh well if that’s if
that’s all you uh if that’s all you have
for us today we’ll go ahead and move on
if that’s all right do you think your
mom would sponsor maybe I’ll make you
out of this debt you’ve dad just any
little bit would help just homey give it
out this I’m going to kick in a pickle
right now is it about money because
London is about money
London is a doctor London is thanks guys
Green yeah well I was dead prez I’m
actually I have my own well let’s go
ahead and move on from there
speaking of money do you have any
sponsors today any other sponsors
besides the uh yeah the sponsor villo
again villo is our streaming service
it’s from the travel.com it’s specific
article article from 2012 about the best
breweries in America that has been
expanded into a kind of multimedia hub
it’s gonna be a blogging service it’s
gonna be you’re able to do your taxes on
on it it’s gonna be kind of like turbo
tax but it’s gonna be hosting this
podcast and all other podcasts that we
might do in the future
okay well that that’s a villa hopefully
travel day yahoo.com forward slash 2012

• best – breweries – in – America – dot
  html’ good you just go there you create
  an account well oh wait excuse me what
  about old people
  what about how would they it’s the same
  with this is a cool thing with the
  technology we have nowadays it’s the
  same website for young people old people
  that could be a bad way you can you can
  be a mobster and it’s gonna be the same
  website you’re just gonna go there
  you’re gonna make an account we’ll get
  back to you in about 2 or 3 days to set
  up the account only Amster can remember
  those numbers and then after you’ll
  you’ll get the confirmation in two or
  three days all right we verify it
  the a hamster could remember better well
  it would take a hamster to think
  something like that up believe that
  somebody would try it would actually
  remember all those doctor let me what do
  you talk a little bit I’m kind of the
  medical science behind hamster memory
  okay well in this the host okay so smart
  Jimmy smart mm-hmm
  okay so actually the we don’t study
  hamster
  you know neurology quietly yes you only
  study worms right I forgot about that
  that’s all you study is worms if you
  would any child who would have played in
  the dirt in his childhood wouldn’t even
  have a problem with worms in medical
  school yeah dr. London’s obsession with
  worms you heard it here first started as
  a child that’s why he keeps bringing it
  up talk about eaten worms ones in your
  stomach okay
  yeah those worms in a stomach for when
  he was a baby okay well this is medicine
  who told you he had a worm in his
  stomach that is the most ridiculous
  thing I’ve ever heard of uh he did just
  a little bit ago okay well liar liar
  pants on fire that’s I’ve been calling
  him a liar for the past few episodes
  it’s just the constant stream of Lies
  I’d I don’t know okay well and once
  again I very much appreciate the input
  here but it’s actually I never never
  made the I’ve made a comparison of how
  our digestive tracts have some
  similarities between with worms well in
  sort of the the appearance in the
  parents probably does you know I could I
  think probably he studied that evolution
  that makes sense he probably thinks we
  came from worms I like I came from
  angels angels and God and mom have you
  ever heard of
  yes swish yes Wow we’re really having a
  moment here now aren’t you glad that we
  brought your mother on London dr. London
  yes very very thankful but maybe we
  could teach it down if you could play
  this thing from the beginning it’s
  really it’s really inspiring me I think
  I might have a word here this is one DJ

  anything that anything at all even just
  like I mean just you know we’re gonna
  happen it’s like a paint would would
  have anything swish swish is art that’s
  got to be our answer it’s got to be it’s
  the only way we can get the medical
  knowledge see and I learned more by
  learning swishing than I’ve ever learned
  from dr. London’s babbling about oh
  you’re a podiatrist if you could if you
  could contact him he’ll hope help you
  help put a stethoscope up to your
  pancreas and figure out your insulin
