Welcome to the jock dock podcast featuring dr. London Smith clinically proven to be the number one top best podcast to listen to now introducing your host Dr. London Smith
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 I would like to begin by apologizing to our listeners we have received some feedback claiming that we are using an excessive amount of technical terms such as spit and toes so I’ll try to simplify my terminology a little more in the future. Here to assist with that is our producer Cameron hello friends Cameron feels the energy in the town the nation and sort of in the world beyond even so be ready
for him to chime in to guide us along as we go
-I have a certain connection to the art listenership that maybe someone like you from more of an elite community wouldn’t be able to understand
-well right well I I mean I did spend my time I’ve been a normal person for most of my life but yeah I do spend a lot of time in the hospital and all that so I
-So there’s no way you could know what a normal person is like all you know is hospital people
well okay well also with us is DJ Dylan IN DA HOUSE. Plus Cameron
tells me that we have a guest coming on later who’s a an innovator
-we sure do
All right so I look forward to that. now for a tale from the psych
ward I was speaking to a female patient and I asked if she ever hears voices that aren’t there so this patient said to me “oh I don’t hear voices but what I do got family members who enter my body physically cuz day’s hunger for food I don’t see them all the time just when I close my eyes so I see them behind my eyes” and so as far as I will I was able to ascertain through my own observations there were no other people in the room and I certainly did not see a family behind her eyes though I did I
admittedly did not perform a funduscopic exam to check for family members. Alright well now for today’s topic myocardial infarction it’s more commonly known as a heart attack so myocardial infarction is due to necrosis or death of the myocardium or the heart tissue and that’s as a result of an interruption to blood supply so this specifically occurs after a thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery which is the artery that supplies the heart this usually presents in individuals who are middle-aged or older and so it can present with chest pain during exertion and often with radiation to the left arm or jaw they can have shortness of breath so they kind of sweating weakness it can present a lot of different ways it could have nausea fainting or even just a sense of impending doom but it can also be you know asymptomatic and up to a third of patients especially elderly patients diabetics or women. Myocardial infarction
-dr. London I hate to interrupt but this word you keep using I think may be sort of inappropriate for a lot of our audience you keep talking about mighty fart suction and I you know most of our
audience at this point are under the age of 12 because of the way we’ve been kind of handling our marketing
okay well so I’ve been saying a myocardial infarction it’s
-you the way you said it’s I think it’s specifically the way you say it there’s something there’s something weird about it that I think is gonna turn a lot of people off because I yeah that’s more appropriate than what you’ve been saying and you see we’ve been marketing to children under 12 years old well okay so like a lot of these kids these days have these cell phones right like every kid every every seven-year-old has an iPhone right because we’re so addicted to our phones mm-hmm and so I’ve just kind of been like like hanging out with them and then I’ll be like hey let me see your phone let me take a picture of you on your phone you’ve been Anibal and then I’ll just open up iTunes subscribe them to the podcast that’s good and then that part I can see beheaded but except that let me get us all wouldn’t be cool if I if I took a video of you doing that cool trick on your on your scooter and then I just download the podcast
and you’re you just hanging out with these kids
-well yeah like I’m meeting up with these kids
but that sounds uh okay
-well I mean it’s for the podcast sure I just so I figured we’re trying to we’re trying to appeal a little bit more or try to feel a little bit more to you know like physicians to medical people you know the at least one of these kids is tells me that they are
a doctor I don’t I don’t know if I buy it well you haven’t but they did stitch up my arm did you get you got into an accident and they just had the suture kit well we were we became you know like
Blood Brothers you know when you like
cut yourself and then you kind of like
shake hands and then they were able to
stitch it up I mean super clean stitch
up the how big of a cut did you make for
cuz Blood Brothers isn’t a huge cut
right like I’ve seen in movies and
things yeah if you’re not you know a
real blood brother you might do you know
if you’re a tiny blood brother you might
just do a little cut like a paper cut
but you’re saying that you if you like
if you’re really close with someone you
want to like really make ties with
someone then yeah you might cut from
like the top your finger down to you
know like your elbow okay that sounds
like that sounds pretty dangerous but
you’re saying that this child yeah this
genius kid was able to stitch me up
super-clean did you call him doctor
because of what he did or did he claim
to be a doctor a little column a little
combi right okay well in any case so
some mario kario infarction i’m just the
way you say it man oh god it makes me
want to throw up okay well so it
presents with chest pain during exertion
often with radiation to the left arm or
jaw and so with okay so it’s it’s not to
clarify it’s not for its suction ah
ma’am it isn’t that okay it’s it’s a
it’s when the blood supply to the heart
is interrupted and so they can have
choice of breath sweating weakness
nausea fainting there are a lot of
presenting signs and symptoms but you
know it also at the same symptoms that I
have when I struggle with fart suction
so it does sort of seem like it’s
something that you struggle with yes
sort of the same thing okay the way you
what do you use for fart the kiss fart
suction do you use a suction device like
a vacuum cleaner what are you talking
about I don’t use anything when I am
struggling with fart suction my left arm
goes numb everything you’re talking
about just saying okay I’m not I’m not
exactly following but we can move on
from there when you fart and it sucks
something in it’s fart suction so when
you fart that’s an outward gas escaping
gas escaping outwards from your body
yeah I guess you could call it reverse
farting okay putting me on blast only I
I’m more I’m just trying to make sense
of what you’re saying here so you’re
saying that whenever you have whenever
you struggling suction yes which is a
personal issue I wasn’t expecting to
talk publicly today but you know for the
podcast I understand I want to I wanna
be able to help the community it’s still
disgusting the way you say it I was
hoping by now what you just maybe say in
a more polite manner but so I’ll just
say heart attack
I guess that’s easier yeah that’s great
when I’m having a
heart attack when I fart so bad it sucks
something up go ahead I feel like yours
is more of a digestive tract issue
whereas we’re focusing more on the heart
so um but anyway we can either way we
can move on from okay yeah that’s great
yeah okay so um all right I guess next
we’d like to talk about do you have any
sponsors today we do our sponsors
actually our guests
okay the innovator okay well uh hello
and welcome to jock doc it’s great to be
here
thank you for having me well my name is
dr. London Smith comm this is Cameron
what’s your name my name is broccoli and
I’m here today to talk about a brand new
app that should be coming to the App
Store soon it’s actually called the
width app Wow mm-hmm yeah it’s it’s it’s
actually a funny story uh about 10 or 15
years ago I had a friend and he
tragically was born without the sense of
smell yeah he has all the other senses
in there they’re actually quite
heightened he’s almost like a superhero
in that way but anyway he just he just
could never you know just just avoid
eating things that had gone bad and you
know he was always getting sick because
of rotten milk and things like that you
know so my heart really went out to this
guy you know and so the same thing it’s
just ironic but one day he was walking
out of my house and he just said smell
you later and like a bolt of lightning
it hit me someone needs to invent an app
that will let you smell things on the
other person’s phone through like
headphones or something you know so so
we did a lot of brainstorming and I
dropped nearly 250,000 dollars on this
to try to get it right yeah it was um a
lot of trial and error a lot of trial
and error but at the end of the day I
got to the point where I was like you
know what
and this is just gonna take off like
wildfire and so basically for the past I
don’t know two or three weeks I’ve
really just had people just a hundred
percent behind me you know smelling
everything that I’m doing and then
honking man they smell me you know they
really were there with it um but the
whip app is basically just designed for
people who can you know just connect
with another person because of what’s so
hard to connect these days and it really
it is but when you smell what that
person is going through I have always
said that texting is so less personal
right because I can’t smell what’s going
on you really see it really this is
really intriguing yes and so oh well I’m
sorry go ahead what it was what is your
complaint let me let me get ahead of I
mean I can hear it I do want to say
nobody’s gonna go work dr. London you
put in 250,000 yes a hundred thousand of
that is your investment from your debit
card that I had given him you will be
reimbursed once the app reaches a value
of a billion dollars or more absolutely
yep okay that’s that wasn’t going to be
my complaint but no now that is a very
real complaint that I have because I
don’t understand I just told you you’re
gonna get your money back literally it’s
foolproof you’re going to get it back
plus a 1 billion 1% interest
mm-hmm ok so once it hits a billion
dollars so has this app you said it’s
launched already it’s um we’re still in
some beta testing processes but I mean
I’ve already I’ve already had people you
know definitely out there beta testing
that’s when you test it on a weak man
yes yes it’s not macho testing yeah it’s
beta testing you know yes alpha let’s uh
cuz no only beta testing is whenever you
you released like a sort of a partially
finished product you aren’t sure oh I
didn’t know you were a technology expert
yeah and I just understand why you’re
complaining doctorís is really gonna
take off really okay so um okay can you
tell me about how how worst is as far as
I understand that technology of cell
phones right now is it’s more sound and
visual components whereas transferring
actual smells
like you’d have to ring more or less
reproduce that smell on a given person’s
phone rather than transfer that same
like the way you would do with a text or
an image so um let me just walk you
through this because I feel like I have
to really break this down for you
basically you’re born with a certain
number of senses okay um one of them is
hearing so you need to try to do that a
little bit and then the other one is
like you use visual you know clues and
things like that
um and so thank you I mean it isn’t
exciting to talk about your senses and
so basically this is going to access
your nose or as some people say your
snoot er and so you’re gonna be able to
smell what the other person is doing on
their side through the little speakers
already on your phone I mean it’s
ingenious you know it really works well
and so let’s just sound waves to to
access the olfactory nervous the the
olfactory senses because the way those
worked to my knowledge it isn’t
associated with sound like those are two
different organs in your body that don’t
give the nose versus the ear right it
doesn’t yeah I mean you would know more
than I would cuz I’m not a doctor but I
do believe that the he he definitely
would not know and anyone in this not
okay um sort of a more of a Dr Pepper
type of dog oh okay okay
like a doctor Scholl’s kind of doctor I
think dr. Scholl’s wasn’t actual oh
maybe dr. gray okay or something along
those lines right doc ock okay yeah
spike man BL fan growing up big fan um
the thing is we already know what people
are going through you know with working
out and things like that but you know
there’s certain times you’re like man I
wonder if that new deodorants working
out for them because we spent six hours
shopping for a new one that wasn’t gonna
make them break out
sorry you spent six hours searching for
a deodorant um doesn’t everyone happy
you know you gotta find that right
you know just the you know the right one
that’ll just work for you but you know
you know you know you have a buddy at
the gym and you’re like I wonder if he
stinks today
you know you’d be like hey man you know
with that over to me real quick and just
you know I’ll let you know what’s going
on with it you know and I’m always when
I’m talking to someone on the phone just
just desperately needing to know what
they smell like
just in everyone I need it I mean in
that sense and the thing is this makes
so much sense it makes a dollar really
guys I mean you know it’s it’s easy it’s
easy you know because the thing is the
more senses you use the better it works
out you know because they say that you
know when you’re talking to someone
you’ll remember things better when you
have more senses involved you know and
so I was gonna go maybe the tasting
route with things but I just didn’t want
people to slobber all over other phones
and you know I to your credit there for
that point the the olfactory senses are
supposed to be the ones closely tied to
memory so that is not even your favorite
I guess I shouldn’t be so critical since
it sounds like I am thoroughly invested
in this right are definitely invested
yeah I very much for your sake I would I
would suggest trying to be positive
about this but I am excited about this I
mean if I was able to capture smells
then I feel like it would solve a lot of
this confusion earlier with my farts
such an issue because I’d be able to
capture it and then show dr. London hmm
here’s what’s going on
if please smell but if it’s no smell
what’s happening right now and the thing
is how many patients are in the same
boat yeah where they’re having hard
sucks back in I mean it’s got to be you
know at least 10 yeah at least a Behrman
and how much I’m sorry what was the app
called it’s called the whiff add a whiff
that okay oh yeah I know you’d said
earlier something about whiffing it’s
sending away first yeah just whip it
over okay mm-hmm and just imagine the
medical uses for this technology mm-hmm
imagine I have a tumor and then I can
just capture the smell of that tumor and
just kind of text it to you or say hey
does my tumor stinky yeah okay well that
that I don’t know if that would apply so
much but there are some some diagnostic
things that having the smell does help
are my feet too stinky
right
why is my hair stinky these are things I
could be sending you every single day I
mean is this a medical grade funk that
I’m dealing with with this smell I mean
because you know sometimes you really
gotta get an expert’s opinion about
what’s going on
you know these doctors today in the
medical community who think they know
every single thing just based on sight
and touch and education and knowing
things they’re not even factoring in
smell right that’s completely Oh a
doctor has ever factored in smell for
any single thing ever in the world I
ever after and until now until now I can
see and you’re a part of it really
because he’s like you said you’re
invested fine financially at least I I
am apparently a part of it you are also
the spokesperson for it yeah um we can
have some paperwork for you to just okay
we’ll deal with that and just a little
bit is that okay well I guess a few
parts of it so telemedicine is going to
be a significant thing it’s a growing
sort of movement and business thing
going forward and smell is a small but
but still a part of what makes the
doctor’s visit something if there aren’t
that many diagnoses that I feel like I
have an idea for a billboard right and
it’s doctor London and he’s sniffing on
the app have any faints cuz it stinks so
bad no that’s good it’s a moving bits
good I haven’t figured I think it you
know like hologram cards where if you
kind of turn them so I think that when
you’re let’s say a quarter of a mile
away
you’re sniff it you’re really just
sniffing sniffing that hats
just so hard and then when you get about
an eighth of a mile away its you’ve
fallen over
maybe there’s birds flying around your
head to like show that you like kind of
passed out maybe there’s stink lines
coming from the phone and maybe you’re
going pee you that is stanky that is
stanky stanky how did you get that angry
sound bite I don’t think I’ve said that
before that is stanky
okay so so from a telemedicine
perspective I can see how how having
only since involved I haven’t I don’t
know what that is
and I don’t care okay well for listeners
as well to tell medicine is this
basically the idea that you’re you
communicate with your doctor from your
home instead of going to a doctor’s
office and one of the ideas behind it is
it can save you time and money that is
the furthest thing from what we’re
talking about today we’re locked down
about an ass Soniya phone art not
leaders discerned smells to our doctors
not whatever you’re talking about just
staying at home and fake having a
staycation yeah or it’s nothing day with
staycation the home that’s pretty good
thank you
so Billboard says stink occasion at the
very tongue you’re just sniffing the
phone just so hard that yes then yeah
you didn’t hate the mile away
it’s you’ve fallen over birds flying
around your head to show you shows like
you got knocked out there stink lines
and then it says maybe it’s a sake stink
occation bigger I haven’t figured all
the logistics out so so you’re saying
basically as you’re driving some was
gonna be out to be staring at it as it
progresses maybe it can make a sound
maybe if you go pee you or it or a
smelly you when you drive by a smell to
your app on your phone motion-activated
mmm-hmm
since its advertising the app if it went
to your phone while you pass the
Billboard and then it anyway I granted I
don’t work in advertising so I don’t I’m
not sure on that but just think about
know when your job is that I’ve been
wanting to ask that what do you do okay
no I’m a doctor that it’s medicine or
the podcast you’re a doctor but like
what do you do
no okay so my the day job would be
doctor and then this is just a chance to
reach out and help the community through
education except my actual job at doctor
like at a hospital or hynix
okay well for me it’s kind of kind of
exciting and it kind of makes for a
whole reason to do a PU
yeah that stinks things that mean all
right I asked you I mean but you do make
good money that we definitely have
invested into this so whatever you’re
doing you know black market stuff
whatever it is what is your what is your
pipe dream for this app where do you
want to go what’s next for it I I
literally want every single human being
on the planet to be sending smells back
and forth why just I feel like we would
all just know each other so much better
and you know and not only that but just
if you’ve ever found something super
funky you know just something that was
just ranked and you’re like man that’s a
terrible smell or like you know the
everyday average ordinary working man
that dr. London has no idea what they go
through like like a garbage man or
something of that that nature you know
there’s certain times I just feel like
it would be so just essential yeah
garbage man sewage you know to know what
that person went through the factory man
hey honey check this so you know now and
to clarify you cannot send good smelling
things through this app correct I mean
you can but really like you know who’s
what’s that want to smell the roses you
know I mean it’s just okay so it’s not
like you have moderators preventing that
I mean hmm right now no but I really
feel like the point of the app is to get
the funk you know to really get the you
know the the weird in that world I have
another question about so you said that
this app was inspired by your friend who
didn’t have a sense of smell that is
correct
are any of the proceeds going towards
any sort of nonprofit for those who have
lacus of the smell for any research or
surgery or I mean at the moment I
basically just used him to get the idea
and we actually stopped talking because
we were in a fantasy football league
together and it just didn’t work out
yeah that’s worth a fortune to stop
talking because I’m really sorry about
that that’s really hard no and it was
hard because he he drafted a running
back that I really wanted Wow
in the
in the first round and I just knew that
he was gonna go off that year but it hmm
I’m sorry she took me up because Adrian
Peterson almost broke the record I’m so
sorry to bring up no it was it’s
definitely painful and but just imagine
if your friend were able to send and I’m
sorry smell without your with app that
is not that he would know what it
smelled like he could guess I mean the
thing is okay just all the cards on the
table he he grew up in a family where
everyone else around him was smelling
things and being like you’re missing out
on how this roast beef smells and you
know he just he always kind of felt left
out but I mean he’s saying shouldn’t
news I mean I’ve moved on from him so
completely it’s like you know I’m I
don’t even do fantasy anymore
yeah you know so just but but the thing
is he can’t smell but he says it all the
time smell you later and I just find
that very confusing but with this app
you know he could find out from his mom
or his friends you know hey is my milk
bad you know or hey does this lasagnas
you know smell appetizing or whatever
you know but well and I’ve been using on
the app you’ve got the Stingo meter that
ranks it right that ranks you the game
raises stank from zero to ten ready and
so that way I can tell oh this is pretty
stinky but is it stinky enough and give
me a gauge of whether or not I should
make something stinkier before I start
sending and say oh so you’ve you’ve been
you’re one of the beta testers yes okay
why I had to have somebody did you know
and Hedden obviously he’s got a good
nose for these sorts of things yeah you
know in a manner of speaking
oh no literally like his nose is huge
gigantic it’s perfect for this app okay
well um so I did we can move on to some
listener feedback and if you want to
join in you can help with that yeah all
right
so maybe you could as you hear this
feedback tell us what you think this
listener probably smells like I can do
that for sure really have really been
studying smells kind of give people the
benefit of knowing what something smell
like when you hear it mm-hmm because I
think we could really move this podcast
towards kind of a smell
smelly podcast yeah sort of a stink
based podcast running really good a
stink based audio format yes mm-hmm
okay all right well so I’d like to
address it’s just some feedback we
received from a listener quote tell your
grandchildren to get off their
depression meds and pray all right end
quote
so first of all to that listener like on
my part I’d like to thank you for
contacting us and thank you so much for
such I mean such a good idea well so it
is it’s always a pleasure to hear from
my listeners I just want to say that
right off the bat but an answer to that
question so it depends very much on the
patient there’s some variability but a
therapy for depression like it does
depend on what they present with like
generally you have cognitive behavioral
therapy or some SSRIs SNRIs some
antidepressants they’re just more
commonly known as so um a lot of times
you give them that and so I will say
that meditation and prayer sometimes can
can also be appropriate if it’s if that
is effective in treating all right uh I
bet these I mean I bet smell probably
would help yeah and definitely
definitely I have been wondering lately
my might be here that I’ve been brewing
I had talked about it a few weeks ago
it’s caused a lot of suicides and I’ve
been wondering if it’s the smell okay
well there if you think so you it’s
cause suicides you I think one of the I
can’t guarantee that it’s caused a lot
of suicides but a large percentage of
our clientele have killed themselves is
it is it mostly a hops based beer or its
I just don’t think the stench is where
it needs to be right okay cuz cuz you
would also describe you have a number of
things but for one thing similar to our
listener base you describe them as being
children for the most part yeah right
and not just like 12
like five-year-old show 5 to 15 in in
the beta testing by the way kids
absolutely love this app they love it
they’re like kids smells so bad they
just rink just like gross little things
but they love the app you know so I’ll
take a dollar from anybody you know it
doesn’t matter yeah it doesn’t matter
twenty bucks is twenty bucks you know
but so if you take it towards the the
beer thing I don’t think you should keep
burning this beer because it sounds like
it’s doing real harm to people well we
don’t okay cuz we don’t know that yeah
I’m just trying to suggest positive
solutions to this problem right now we
have this fear that is not smelly enough
and we’re seeing a lot of suicides we’re
talking about like yes a lot of these
kids have dumped their antidepressants
and because I told them that the beer is
sort of an antidepressant well okay and
declare it kinds of the arteries of the
smell like really really get a stink
going through that beer it could do a
lot for a lot of my clientele and a lot
for the community I mean one less person
you know maybe you don’t notice but 15
or 20 people that are trying this beer
and then all of a sudden not they heard
a woman you know you’re gonna start to
see the economic impact for sure and I
don’t I don’t like I am against suicide
I think you’re maybe going on the pro
for this I’m like an ant I know I know I
su aside is a there’s not not a good
thing but what I’m what I’m trying to
say
okay now so what I’m saying is that if
the beer
you’ve already you’ve already talked
about how the beer is giving people like
horrible symptoms in general but now
you’re saying it’s psychologically very
much a depressant to the point that
people are and you’re also you’re
telling them to throw away their
medication prescribed by their doctors
well yeah cuz I’ve got the beer so that
why would they be need to do both well
neo antidepressant antidepressants with
my beer yeah that’s all the time it says
don’t you know don’t drink and you know
take such and such medicine okay I and I
agree with that
I think of the thing you should cut out
in that situation is the beer not the
well that’s gonna really hurt my say I
mean and how is he supposed to make a
living yeah I you a job would be my
suggestion this is my job such as mine
is brewing with that bloody beer it’s
just we all have different strokes it’s
the beer for buddies yeah it just needs
to be stinkier and I think that would
really really help a lot of these issues
well and to clarify the so alcohol is a
depressant so it’s not an
antidepressants a depressant so that
would be countered into it so if if
that’s what I’m saying if you took a
depressant and the antidepressant they
cancel each other out so get rid of the
antidepressants really commit to the
beer and if it’s stinky enough it’ll
you’ll be ok cuz it creates so much a
joy and did you have other people’s
comments that you know dealt with smell
or I mean what what kind of information
can I help you with as far as we’re
talking
we haven’t well as I mentioned so this
this podcast is primarily audio based
right so there have been very few very
few comments or reviews about the smell
of the podcast which is an area we’re
really lying and which is I’m really
excited for pivoting towards a stench
based podcast right ok and as that’s the
future mm-hm everyone can smell it
coming
I’m not sure if that okay well in any
case I’ll give you a case I think that’s
where the issue is you haven’t tried no
buddy beer oh no I do not want me give
you a case a buddy beer you maybe you
can help a little with my stink problem
because in Tribeca like with somebody
like a case as well okay yeah I’m exempt
finally I definitely complicit in this
issue yeah I don’t
okay well in any case um I think it’s
all the time we have for today thank you
to a mister he said broccoli that is
correct okay yeah I think it to mr. Lee
for dropping by thank you to Cameron
thank you to do gender than the host all
right this has been jock doc see ya
adios
