78: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis/Hank Hardbody (Feat. Jeron Dooling)

Hey kids you’re about to listen to a

comedy podcast

that means that none of this is medical

advice

if you need medical advice or medical

care please

contact your doctor welcome to the jock

doc

podcast featuring dr london

smith this one goes out to all the jock

dock fans across the globe

in fact i’ma hit the air horn for every

single fan that we have

that was for you rowdy p 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 would like to begin by apologizing to

our listeners

we have received some feedback about the

excessive amount of technical medical

terms that i’ve been using

such as autonomic dysregulation and

arm wrestling so i will try to temper my

terminology to a simpler one in the

future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron hi dr london

hey hey you seem you seem kind of perky

today

yeah i’m in a bit of a you you might say

uh

a spicy saucy mood a little bit yeah

is there any particular reason for that

because

maybe i look i know

that christmas isn’t tomorrow or

anything like that but

you know it’s coming like right around

the corner so maybe

i got my favorite doctor a gift

wow okay wow so i

i guess you got it like yesterday or

today like recently

oh no i mean i’ve been playing this for

a while i got my favorite doctor a gift

and to get started all i need is just a

hundred dollar check

uh so so you already got the gift though

well yeah to get started i’ll need the

hundred dollar check

but then what you’re gonna get as a gift

is worth way more than that dr london

i okay so so i feel like you’re asking

me

and this is just what it sounds like to

me at

the onset it sounds like you’re asking

for me to pay for

the gift that you will get for me no i’m

just asking you

for just a simple 300 check just to get

me started

and then just the thing that you’ll get

will end up being wonderful and worth

more than that

just a simple 500 check

okay so and i haven’t noticed the price

increase here

i from 100 to 300 to 500

i so i’m not going to you know like you

have your finances i have mine

and you know it’s okay you don’t have to

get me

oh i combined those so you don’t have to

worry about that

you can buy okay yeah our finances are

debt all of that stuff it’s all it’s all

just like one

blob now so i i gotten i didn’t have

that

oh no i look last time i checked it

looked like you had a ton of debt

was the last time you checked after you

combined yeah oh yeah i combined it

months ago

yeah last time i checked was the other

day when i was doing our builds i

okay well um so that was our producer

cameron uh

also with us is digital in the hose

[Music]

did you do in the house do you love

me yes no i’m really asking do you love

me

because if you do i need to know

where do you keep your money

in a mattress in your sock

where do you keep your money

[Music]

where where do you keep your money

i looked in your mattress let me take

off your shoe let me see your sock

[Music]

do you keep your money

brand new and later cameron tells me

that we can expect a special guest

that’s right dr elena that’s great so

yeah i do look forward to that

uh but before we move on i would like to

address a bit of listener feedback

i found this note crammed into my

fortune cookie

when i ordered takeout last week uh

it was kind of an oddly like it looks

like it’d already been opened and then

someone put a note in

what kind of takeout uh yeah it was

this pizza and so the fortune cookie

that came with my pizza

yeah was uh yeah so so it had this note

in it

because pizza is a chinese invention yes

that’s what they don’t are you are you

sure about that i

and i don’t want to sound like i’m

stereotyping here but i

i thought it was an italian food that

italians claim it as their own and that

is what they’re famous for but it was

actually supposedly look i’m not gonna

claim to be an anthropologist or

anything

it was apparently came from some sort of

chinese dynasty

that was handed to the italians in some

sort of trading thing

i don’t remember exactly but it

works out perfectly because it you’re

now you’re getting fortune cookies with

your pizza

yeah well i’ve always gotten fortune

cookies with my pizza

that’s you know even even whenever i get

like whatever frozen pizza it comes with

a fortune cookie that’s

that’s pizza oh yeah i know i know that

yeah i’m just explaining for our

listeners who maybe live in like a weird

state

i don’t know what foods every state has

i can’t just assume that because we have

you know a typical you know pizza with a

fortune cookie that everyone over in you

know

tennessee has the same sort of same sort

of diet you know

yeah okay no that’s that’s reasonable

and they i don’t know if they have pizza

in tennessee

yeah i uh i they don’t that was why i

picked that place as an example okay

yeah okay so anyway the note in my

fortune cookie reads quote

spencer did you miss your therapy

session this week you

seem a little cranky l-o-l-god bless

xx end quote

so first of all let me thank you so much

to this listener for

reaching out to us via fortune cookie to

answer your question

and it is frustrating to have to repeat

this but

my name is not spencer nope

and maybe that is why i get so

frustrated

uh did i not introduce myself as

londonsmith.com

um yeah but did you tell them that

you’re not spencer

huh it’s because if you don’t say that

it’s like you’re expecting people to

know that but you’re not explicitly

saying that that seems like

maybe unfair expectations that you’re

placing on people dr london

see when you when you give someone your

name

you give someone a fact then it can

they can pretty safely rule out the

other

possible names okay are you telling me

or are you telling the person who wrote

that note

i i think i’m telling you because they

said spencer they’re calling you spencer

yeah so i’m telling

so clearly there was a miscommunication

between you two

and you’re telling me how to talk to

people well

because you took the the author of this

note

you know their side in this situation

i wanted to speak to you and more

broadly to them

and possibly whatever listeners would

think the same

i wanted to explain you know this

misconception so

if someone tells you their name

generally speaking

you can just know that that is their

name

and that their name is not something

else does that make sense

no not at all here let me let me do an

example hi

hello my name is what

my name is who my name is slikkism

shady uh hello there

my name is what my name is who my name

is this is

shady how are you today

that’s good uh what’s my name oh so i

so when i addressed you by the name that

you gave yeah but i didn’t see i didn’t

specify

my name my name isn’t cameron

so you can also safely assume that my

name is cameron and you’d be right

god listen listener spencer

the whoever’s writing dispenser whoever

this may be

i love you i support you thank you for

writing into the show

don’t look us in to dr london’s abusive

behavior

and if you could just send a check for

600 i can get started and you

you will get back probably ten times

that amount

okay uh and i just wanna emphasize like

my name is on the podcast logo like it’s

it’s everywhere

uh and it’s it’s just not spencer it’s

lana smith.com

dr lemonsmith.com but any case um

thank you for listening thank you for

listening i we do appreciate that you

don’t think someone saw

one of your usernames l grant s and

thought that might be oh that’s

yeah dr london grant spencer

the i mean maybe but if they’re

listening to the podcast then all

they’ve

seen like it’s all that they should have

seen by now is

dr londonsmith.com

but what if they’re not a listener to

the podcast what if they were a fan of

your old

zhang from 2004 oh you mean

london who gets all the ladies yeah yeah

i i guess i wouldn’t mind as much if

someone addressed me by that name either

um anyway we can go ahead and move on

from there but uh

i guess you made your you made a point

to some extent

uh so so to that listener thanks for

listening i definitely said a lot of

words and i said them with a lot of

conviction

and that’s basically all i can promise

that anyone will get out of this show

all right uh well now for today’s

medical topic

idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

so idiopathic means that we do not know

the cause

uh and i remember that by you know

i think of idiot like you just you just

don’t know the cause

so idiopathic um pulmonary fibrosis

is a condition in which the lungs become

fibrosed for no

identifiable reason uh this this is more

common in men

and smokers and it presents with a

gradual onset of progressive

dyspnea which is uh difficulty breathing

and a non-productive cough

when i say i can definitely well no one

cares what you’re about to say

if i can uh i can definitely relate to

this because i

most of the stuff that i have going on

has no uh no apparent reason why it

happened

you know okay it all just sort of like

comes up out of nowhere kind of like

what you’re what you’re talking about

here like so you know my like i’ve been

struck you know i’ve been struggling

with stank foot for a long time now

yeah it’s most of what you talk about

yeah and so i’ve been struggling with

stank foot for a long time but there’s

no reason why that happened there’s no

apparent reason

that that that came up came across you

know what i mean i don’t even wear shoes

yeah so it’s not like it can be from

stinky shoes or something like that

yeah well i think it you know whenever

you suffered that wound and then you

you uh got that mud bath brought it

you know scoop it up from the creek and

then use it for your own personal foot

bath

uh and you put that exposed

you know the skin uh you put that

into there and you let it just

kind of uh just just

get infected that that’s probably the

reason

so again grow and see yes but don’t

worry anytime it

any time it starts to scab i rip that

thing right off so you don’t have to

worry about that

well so so my point there is that that

wouldn’t be idiopathic

because we actually know the cause do

you see

do you see the difference there no i

mean

like there’s no way to know the cause of

like why these

kind of things happen i think you could

say you know i do believe in karma

which a lot of people maybe don’t maybe

kind of think i’m crazy for

and so you know do i think okay you know

did the stink foot

come from that time that like i

i kicked that old witch

when she was trying to sell me goods

yeah

so and i thought okay you know that

would make sense she probably put a

curse on my stu

my stank foot well like i think maybe

the time whenever you

you were chopping wood and then you

and it was the wood just the the wood

paneling

in your house you were just chopping at

it and then you

accidentally hit your foot

and that was the open wound i think that

rather than

you know blaming it well no we just

talked about this i already covered in

mud so i took care of that that’s

not the issue yeah it just

just move on just continue on so um

uh non-productive cough i was saying uh

that’s whenever you don’t

cough anything up like there’s no sputum

production

so this is uh idiopathic pulmonary

fibrosis

is a devastating and unrelenting disease

although prognosis is variable the mean

survival

is only three to seven years after first

diagnosis

so diagnosis is first with x-ray chest

x-ray

revealing a ground glass or honeycomb

appearance or it may actually

appear normal a definitive diagnosis

requires a lung biopsy consistent with

usual interstitial pneumonia for the

cause to be idiopathic of course

you’re gonna have to go and rule out

other causes of pulmonary fibrosis

well and that’s really interesting you

say that like it you know it appears

normal because that

again i can relate to this kind of stuff

again

you you have no idea where this stuff is

coming from everything looks normal and

you don’t know you know this is where

medical

science kind of fails us you know like

for example you know the thing i have

where my mouth fills with blood

just kind of like continuously yeah but

i have

i mean do you have an alternate

because you once again you do keep

and i don’t get it you just keep

deliberately cutting inside of there

and it’s an odd form of self-harm

because you seem

like you don’t like the blood in your

mouth right

i hate it but again i don’t know how it

got there

it’s impossible to know where these

wounds and these diseases really come

from and again

i’m kind of a big believer in karma and

so i like to think

maybe like i want maybe one of the

people that i bit

going out you know throughout my day put

a curse on me like when i bit that witch

i did bite that same witch that i kissed

i’m so i guess now that you bring up the

witch again what made this person a

witch

was it on halloween that this happened

no no no i mean they were just they were

just a witch

she said i’m she said i’m an old witch

oh she said

she was trying to sell me yeah she was

trying to sell me like just some

goods there was like an eye of newt

there was some sort of

vaguely steaming bowl of kind of green

goopy stuff

and you said you i mean you naturally

encountered this person or just

and then i bit during your day yeah it

was just a noise that whole foods

and yeah and then you bit her

yeah huh which is hard because she was

standing you know this is like a buffet

line so

like she’s standing behind where all

like all the soups are

and it’s they’ve got like the sneeze

guard and stuff on it so i have to

really

get under there to get a to go kind of

get to get a chomp

huh okay well um

so so for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

no effective treatment is available

the majority of patients and that’s you

know over 70 percent they do not improve

with

therapy and these patients experience uh

progressive

and gradual respiratory failure that

being said

patients may find some benefit in

supplemental oxygen or

lung transplant and you say

you say like about the cutting the

inside of my

mouth that i’m doing it for no reason i

don’t like it

but it’s not for i don’t like it but

it’s not for no

reason it’s to build up a tolerance

because they

right now they get cut so easily when

i’m eating kettle chips

yeah so kettle chips the famously

the hardest and just crispiest and

you know most willing to

cut you chips yes that exist on the

market

they always cut the inside of my mouth

and so here i’m thinking

okay it’s probably like playing guitar

right like you play guitar

and then maybe it kind of hurts a little

bit if you’re playing like an acoustic

guitar but then

your fingers sort of build up a callous

and then it becomes really easy and you

don’t think about it anymore

and so if i can kind of build up some

scar tissue build up some calluses

on the inside of my mouth then these

delicious kettle chips that i

must eat will go down a lot

smoother and so yeah but so i mean again

it’s impossible to know

why my mouth is filling with blood all

the time i have to assume it’s the witch

stuff

and i can really relate to the patients

of your whatever your made-up disease

that you’re talking about or

i can’t remember i’ve been talking about

myself for so long yeah no

yeah you have uh what one one suggestion

i would make

rather than you know cutting the inside

of your mouth

uh which once again that that is a form

of self-harm

maybe just build up the calluses

similar to what you’re describing with

the the guitar uh

they don’t practice with blades

they practice with a guitar so if you

want to practice for those chips

just practice by eating more or just by

eating the chips

but then my mouth is going to be

sensitive and then i won’t be able to

enjoy the chips

so yeah i okay well

i i feel like we’re not gonna are you

done with your left yeah yeah are we

still talking about me

yes but we can we can finish both of

those i would be

happy to finish with both of those now

i’ll allow it okay all right we’ll move

on from there

[Music]

all right cameron do we have a sponsor

today that’s right dr london

but you might be excited to hear that

our sponsor

is actually sort of us

it’s our new merch okay

yes yes that sounds great so i mean i’ve

been telling you about this for a while

and i know you’ve been waiting for

me to finally show you but so i i’ve

been working on

a a jock dock card game

for a while now i i’m sure you’re

familiar with like apples to apples or

cards against humanity

and like games sort of like but ours is

a

the jock dock card game

where people play different you know

okay apples to apples

cards against humanity a person plays

one card

that says uh don’t mind me

i’m just here for some blank and then

someone else places a card that says

like boogers and so then it becomes

don’t mind me i’m just here for some

burgers our game is not that disgusting

and not that crass we don’t really do

that kind of stuff

our game is more like you put down a

card

and then it says dr london was trampled

by

and then someone else puts down a card

that says

oxen or for example here’s another one

dr london swam in the ocean oops

he got dragged down by and then someone

else might put

killer shark this doesn’t sound this

sounds very

specific in a way that well for one

thing

are all the cards about me dying

i guess it just depends because you know

there’s no follow-up with the cards

so like yes you’re dragged under the

water by a shark

but we don’t know the final outcome of

that scenario so who’s to say

you know yes you’re trampled by an oxen

you know by one oxygen by a single oxen

you i don’t know if you get up after

that it’s impossible to know

so here i’m gonna go ahead and play a

card

and it says when dr

london tried to commit suicide he put

blank and blank in his pockets

to weigh him down and then i’ll play

this other card

this one says stones and then

this one says uh a bomb

okay yeah and then so we’re just gonna

we’re and then and then we’re just gonna

attach those and then

isn’t that funny yes i

feel like so i know cards against

humanity especially is known for being

kind of

um kind of having dark humor oh yeah and

this is like

super dark humor so i mean like hey if

you’re lis if you’re squeamish

out there this isn’t the game for you

so it’s it’s dark humor but only

like towards me it sounds like like

people can’t this is the host of the

jock talk podcast these aren’t the

london

cards these are the jock dock podcast

cards

but the the cards do specifically say

dr london it’s not it’s not saying the

jock doc podcast

it’s the post of the dog talk i mean

we’re saying the same thing i guess i i

don’t really understand what the issue

is

if it says podcast or if it says you

know

london smith is getting his skull

crushed in

with an old pan that

had a bunch of bacon grease on it and

because the bacon was crackling some of

it had gotten on the side

so while the pan is cracking his skull

it’s also getting grease all over his

face and so he’s getting a bunch of

pimples

yeah and so so i feel like these are all

very specifically targeted

uh not even to me but at me

and i like so there’s that aspect that

you know i feel like i’m being it’s kind

of attacking towards me

but it’s there’s also the fact that

whoever is playing the game

you know a lot of the appeal of cards

against humanity is

it’ll be about you know some some

lots of other figures or uh

you know different subjects in pop

culture this is

but you’re getting so you’re your

concern is like the

the diversity of subjects because

they’re i mean yes too

it’s not just all about you dr london

okay okay so let me so you can just have

a little

card okay you can pull this card out and

it says

cameron see do you see producer cameron

i see it okay

smashes dr london’s head in

with blank and then we’ve got another

card here it’s the same cardigan so

fortunately it is a pan

that you had been cooking bacon and so

i’ve gotten grease on the side

so the grease gets on dr london’s face

so it gets filled with pimples

yeah so i mean

if it’s our merch if it sells then i

guess okay but it’s it just sounds

very much especially with those

particular cards it sounds like

you’re trying to make it a point that

you are violent towards me which is not

entirely untrue

it’s a game so that which

isn’t true the definition of a game is

that it’s not true

so is it is that the definition of a

game yeah it’s that it’s

it’s a game so how can that be true

here you pull a card okay yeah

so this one says

dr london walks up to the bus and gets

hit by

okay and then this other one okay

another bus

and that one seems that’s odd

uh i i guess it just fits with certain

cars and depends on how you play

well i think the i think the idea is

that the bus you were getting

into was sort of it was it was sort of

pulling out of the bus

lane it was ready to go and you were

like hey stop

so you’re standing in the bus line the

bus is like kind of diagonal kind of

moving out of the bus lane

you’re standing at the bus lane when

another bus of course

is in the bus lane comes to try to stop

and uh runs you over

like and explaining the scenario doesn’t

really help

the problem well i think it’s good

advice

you’re talking about how you know these

cards aren’t help

did you say they’re not helpful because

i think this is teaching people

hey maybe you shouldn’t stand in the bus

lane like even if the bus is pulling

away you need to wait for another bus

still on the sidewalk don’t be standing

in the road

okay so you you see these cars as

cautionary tales for you

with me as the example well no for you

because it sounds like this is what’s

going to happen because you were just

shocked at the idea that something like

this could happen

so it’s i mean now i’m really glad that

we made this game because i don’t know

where you would be without it okay

yeah they are fine um if it

you know if it sells then that’s great

i’m glad that we finally have merch

honestly

uh and that is sort of the motto of this

podcast is

if it sells then we back it yes

and i don’t matter what it is where it

came from who knows about it

who’s paying taxes on it irrelevant

right any case we can um

well i can go ahead and say so it’s the

jock dock podcast

game is that what it’s called card game

the the jock tack podcast card game so

not really hinting and then you want to

say

you want to say the slogan which is

uh yeah um dr london

not so boring yeah no that’s the slogan

for the podcast this looking for the

game

is dr london tried to put on

rocket boots to go to the moon but they

exploded his feet off

and then he bled his brains out through

his stumps

through my foot that’s the slogan on the

box you can see yeah

it i mean to me it seems a little

lengthy but

uh if that’s if that’s what moves the

product i

like it’s not doing harm to me if it

sells

it’s wells okay all right well um

so it’s a jock doc podcast card game

uh and that’s available just on our on

jocktalkpottyhouse.com or no you’re

gonna have to

sort of kind of collect these pieces

from people you know around town

okay like so we’ve left some at like the

butcher

and we’ve left some at like the ice

cream parlor and we’ve left some

with like the priest and we’ve left some

with like the tailor

and you’ve got to kind of go to each one

and kind of put the clues together

uh okay well that sounds difficult but

so

they’ll buy each card from one of them i

mean i guess it just depends on how they

handle the product i don’t know i didn’t

talk with every single one about like

how they’re distributing it

okay all right well you know as long as

we’ll see if we make a pro profit off

this i guess if it sells

you might as well yeah all right so um

all right i guess we can move on from

there then if it sells

noel wells

[Music]

all right uh cameron you said that we

have a special guest today

that’s right dr actually is special the

right word

how would i describe someone who is the

most special guest that we’ve ever had

on this entire show i

i don’t know but maybe just once again i

feel like you say this about a lot of

guests

and i don’t want to you know undersell

certainly

but i also don’t want to over promise uh

okay so how do you want me to introduce

our guest

okay just actually just redo this here

here let’s just redo this

do you want to just redo this okay go

ahead and and say what you just said

uh about uh let’s let’s

introduce the guest accurately is that

yeah no let’s

let’s redo that part okay like the part

the introducing the guest okay

so do it uh so cameron you said that we

have a special guest today is that right

yep that’s right we got a special guest

who’s a big dum-dum because i guess we

hate our guests

and none of them are the most special

guests that we’ve ever had i guess

that’s how we’re treating them

and that’s what we’re saying from now on

so welcome guest i’m so sorry that we

had to call you

these mean names to appeal to dr

london’s sensibilities

i apologize but hello hello

thank you for having me yeah yeah you’re

welcome so

uh my name is dr londonsmith.com and

this is our producer cameron

uh what was your name hi my name is hank

hardbody

leading children’s edutainment icon

okay oh wow wow not you’re not

the hank hard body right yes the hank

hard buddy of squats for tots limited

oh wow i this is incredible

thank you for for being on our show

any time i’m very glad to be invited i’m

i’m so enamored with the joy of

spreading

physical fitness to people of all ages

yeah i’m just

i’m sorry i’ve been quiet i’m just like

because you taught me so much growing up

oh oh i’ve i’ve been through this before

yeah i and i don’t normally like fan out

like this but i’m

uh for listeners i i do you want

no you you explained yourself a little

bit because i’m i’m still

yeah hank can you tell our our listeners

a little

the the i can’t imagine there’s not

anyone who doesn’t know

but if you could just but yeah maybe if

you could just for the for those two

people or whatever

maybe you could just describe living

under a rock for their entire lives

yeah can you just tell our guests a

little bit about you all right i’ll give

them the genesis

picture this seventh grade classroom

1973 some boring medical film playing on

the tv

some doctor telling me what i need to

know about

heart health and cholesterol and i think

to myself

i could snap that man over my knee and

why shouldn’t i

that was the day hank hardbody was born

wow

okay so see

so it i wouldn’t say that tells our

listeners who you are

right now it just sounds like you’re a

man who wanted to assault someone you

saw on tv

in seventh grade is that i mean is that

how you would describe yourself

that event planted a seed in me that i

watered throughout the rest of middle

school and into early high school

and then through the process of getting

my ged

yeah we don’t have to go through every

level of education

um in terms of but i do appreciate it so

you did go through high school but you

still got your ged

well i made it through the first couple

years but then i just couldn’t cope with

school lunches

they were so unhealthy so nutritionally

disbalanced

wouldn’t stand for that and that’s i

mean that’s actually something that you

kind of focus on a lot with a lot of

your work is kind of having a balanced

meal i mean is that what you’re here to

talk about with us

today yes i’m here to promote a new line

of steaming bowls of green goopy stuff

for children okay

and so just to to clarify so what you’re

wearing right now

and you know for our listeners you

always wear this suit could you describe

the suit a little bit for us

yeah i call it my muscle shirt it zips

up in the back and it’s got a full

diagram of all the major muscle groups

pecs biceps tries the other ones

yeah and you you do bring up it zips up

in the back

was it necessary for it to zip so low

the last thing that you want when you’re

in a room full of screeching children is

a wardrobe malfunction that could result

in

liability issues

yeah that’s true but you also made us

zip you up when you came into the studio

today so it does sound like

it seems like you might just have

trouble with it that might be solved by

a shorter zipper i’m just i’m just

throwing out ideas

i don’t want to tell you how to do your

job you’ve obviously been doing this for

a long time

i’m going to be honest with you hank

hard body’s lats are so big he can’t

even turn around completely let alone

reach the zipper on this wow

wow okay that is very true you are i

mean

svelte definitely yeah you’re

monstrously

fit would be that you’re you’re jacked

thank you for noticing but the uh

correct medical term i believe is

shred yes yeah oh

yeah i’m so sorry i’m not a doctor i’m

just a producer so i don’t i don’t know

special words and kind of medical jargon

like that

but i mean could you tell le so uh uh

how about just tell everyone what you do

full time like what what what is your

job what are you known for

today as an adult pass your ged

past any form of college or

post-collegiate

uh classes you might have taken just we

can go back

to the now we can go back to that stuff

but just just to get a baseline for

the the present day so not including any

of the various certification courses

none of that well i mean i’d like to

hear about a few of those

later i spend most of my days on tour

going from elementary school to

elementary school

taking over their hour block for pe and

teaching all of the children of the

world

how to take care and cultivate their

physical form

okay so and that’s why i mean if you see

you see all these kids around who are

just

let’s let’s be honest jacked as hell

and for a while i didn’t really

understand what was going on

until i realized like oh these are kids

who are inspired

by the genius health and fitness

attributes of hank hardbach

because you know sometimes you know i’d

be at toys r us or whatever and i’d see

maybe a four-year-old maybe a

five-year-old or a three-year-old

who had gigantic muscles and he’s

wearing sort of a do-rag

and he’s wearing like a muscle shirt and

i have to think

that doesn’t seem right but then i when

i think of all the people that you’ve

inspired i’m sure you’ve come across a

lot of people who try to imitate you

haven’t you

oh yeah there’s been no shortage of

imitators have to cop

some of the fame that i’ve accrued for

myself

oh wow so when i was describing like

like kids trying to be like you you see

them as

threats sort of people threats trying to

steal your throne

yeah the young will eat the old if you

let them you gotta stay fit that’s true

stay on your game and this this is an

interesting point because

you know uh there’s a childhood obesity

epidemic

and so it’s been an odd thing to see

that’s still there but there’s in

almost oh those kids are fatter those

kids are

way fatter than whenever they took that

statistic but then you’ve got these

other

kids yeah which this is a smaller group

but they seem to be more voided

up and therefore stronger and louder

and you know mr hardbody it seems like

maybe you you’ve encouraged um

this more aggressive behavior

yeah cool ass kids who are jacked to

hell

there’s definitely been some noticeable

stratification my pr people have been

showing me these numbers

as the mean weight of children goes up

we see also the mean muscle mass of your

average 8th grader is increasing

exponentially

we don’t know what this means for

society but someday i hope to see

a utopia of physically fit youngsters

vying for control against each other oh

i was thinking maybe sort of just like

uh

like an army of of young followers of

yours but you’d rather them compete

amongst themselves

for you know resources or power or stuff

like that that’s what it kind of sounds

like

yeah definitely a return to nature motif

sort of running through

throughout my body of work yeah big

like unabomber type of type of type of

stuff going on

is that some kind of horse uh

yeah i mean sort of like it’s kind of

like a horse who had sent

bombs to a bunch of other horses oh dear

so no horse yeah not dear

my mistake yeah so there’s

there’s one thing i i really didn’t

expect this to come up

you know intentionally by

you mr hard body but it seems that we’ve

gone right into it which is that

the controversies because of course we

all looked up to you growing up we all

learned so much about fitness from you

but you know at as you mentioned you’re

hoping for

a society that

it sounds very reminiscent of you know

like the hunger games kind of situation

like

just physical fitness uh to the point

that it’s sort of survival of the

fittest

and but like you really target children

with this stuff and so i’m

i’m wondering if you could speak to some

of the people who have

criticized this mentality

and this this uh campaign that you’ve

been running well in camps he’s been

running

as well i mean there’s summer camps that

sort of function as

a mini version of this utopian idea yeah

kind of like a militia

situation hank hank hard bodies

children’s crossfit camps ltd yes

to my critics i will say as i always

have

that i will have an interview with any

one of them and discuss any of these

hardball

questions that they want to throw at me

if

they subscribe to my program first

because how are you going to criticize

something if you haven’t even tried it i

mean come on

absolutely and you you know what i mean

like if you actually

care about this then you might have to

put

in a little work to criticize you you

know what i mean like

you can’t just go on twitter and say oh

you’re you’re you shouldn’t be doing

these to

doing this to these kids why haven’t my

son contacted me since he went to your

camp

like sign up for the program and then

figure this stuff out on your own right

i will say though about the allegations

of us uh cutting off contact between the

children and parents

we do that specifically to curb the

problem of a spinal issue called

smartphone neck

wherein the children are always looking

down at a 45 at their

tablet or eye device and uh it’s just

necessary for the process you don’t want

to

kink your neck that early on that makes

sense

i mean kids these days on their phones

all the time i mean come on so

this does bring me to another question

very very closely related

so you say come to your camps um to to

you know experience it but you do have

an age limit because once again you are

very specifically targeting children so

and i i’d hate to like if this is news

to you but

a lot of the journalists who have been

concerned and criticizing

they are grown adults they are not you

know they are not children

so is there a method for them to i’d

like to thank you for asking this

question because people aren’t asking me

this question this is an important

question and i’m so glad that you’ve

asked it

because what we really need to be asking

is why aren’t there more child

journalists

and i think it’s because not all of

these kids are subscribed to the program

i mean we’re putting out kids they’re

they’re physical fitness trainers

they’re chiropractors they’re going into

sports medicine

eventually we might get a journalist you

know it’s kind of a kind of a lottery

system

so you’re you’re giving them degrees

like in certification and training we

are not an accredited institution at

this time but we are seeking that option

in future

we can only give uh certificates which

they sign

sometimes in crayon uh

yeah okay and when you say they

you mean because normally is my

understanding that certain

uh certificates aren’t signed by the

recipient they’re signed by

you know the dean and whatever but

you’re saying that i guess

your staff is also composed of children

oh no you have to sign the back of your

degree to endorse it did you not do that

dr london

uh i it doesn’t count you gotta you

gotta

there’s a line on the back of it you

gotta sign that to endorse it before

before you can cash it in essentially

uh but i wanna hear i wanna hear let’s

forget the controversies let’s forget

the haters for a second i want to hear

more about what was it what were you

what product were you talking about

green goop

yeah we have a new line of uh meal prep

once a day supplements called hank

hardbody steaming bowl of green goopy

stuff

okay and is that is that all the details

on it does it have stuff

what is it made of i guess would be well

we’re not at liberty to discuss the

proprietary ingredients but uh feta

cheese definitely plays a strong role in

this you cannot eat it if you are

lactose intolerant

uh i’m gonna go ahead and guess that’s

what’s in you that’s the smell coming

out of your bag right now

is that the goop or is that just a bunch

of feta cheese like

i can’t that’s sort of the feta in the

raw you know i prefer to

to experience it head on i don’t like

masking it in the green goop

okay okay yeah yeah so i mean what you

you know you talk a lot in on your on

your show

and you’re you know when you go around

different schools about

having a balanced diet is this is this

what contributes to this what what

is a balanced diet a balanced diet is

the most important part of getting your

body right

getting your body right is the most

important part of getting your mind

right forget what they teach you in

school there’s no three meals there’s no

pyramids

you’ve ever tried to eat a pyramid it

sucks what you’ve got to do is

that sounds terrible you gotta get this

green goopy stuff don’t even think about

it don’t look close your nose

just absorb it it’s fuel it powers you

and that’s a balanced diet okay

see so you’re saying that the balance is

the entire diet

it’s all you need for the longest time

we were blending boneless skinless

chicken breasts together with cream of

mushroom soup and

we just weren’t getting the same results

that we do with this goopy stuff

and what results are those we’re seeing

a three percent increase in muscle gain

and a two percent decrease in asking

questions

oh wow and i mean that must be

important for holding on to your i mean

your strong

fan base i mean i i’m part of the fan

base dr london’s part of the fan base

yeah i i i was i

and i hate to because you mentioned the

asking questions thing

that’s not normally a statistic that i

you know see associated with

uh you know nutritional diets

asking questions as normally considered

to be a healthy thing

people that’s how you learn a lot of

times uh

and i i i kind of have one of these

questions

for you let me hear it brother yeah

so and and i’m sorry that this may sound

like i’m borrowing the words of some of

these

adult grown adult journalist but

um they have been

there have been rumors at least that

you’re trying to train up

a child army

to i like i these are just

words that i don’t want to throw them

around casually but

just by definition a child army to

forge your new utopia um

and well you know it’s like cameron said

earlier

i do have a strong fan base in fact you

might say

the strongest just by nature of the work

that i do

and i think that intimidates a lot of

these other institutions like the media

or the government and honestly if your

system can be overthrown by an

organized group of physically fit

mentally right

children then what do you really have

anyway

yeah i mean you’ve got a good point like

if

if you’re taken down by a a

large group of incredibly jacked kids

sort of just incurring violence to

whatever’s around

i mean how can you even say that your

country has a military you know what i

mean like if you can’t

put a stop to that it’s all part of the

plan i mean broken bones will heal but

pride

that’s something that can be damaged

forever

yeah well and speaking of which the with

the broken bones thing

because and this is

your your your camps are notoriously

sort of quarantined even before

quarantining was kind of the usual

and uh you know not a lot of word gets

out but the little bit that gets

out uh apparently is about

you know the weapons that you’re

bringing in and could you

could you speak to that because once

again i want i’m looking to dispel

rumors but you do have to address them

you know what i mean

just to to wipe the slate clean so to

speak

and i thank you for giving me the

opportunity to address this because

i mean in every shopping plaza in every

county in america there’s a dojo and

that dojo imports say 17 000 cases of

nunchucks or

throwing stars or bo staffs a year

nobody bats an eye

so i don’t see why it’s such a big deal

when we put in these massive orders for

martial arts weaponry this is always

something interesting that i guess i

never really thought of but

sort of in the same way that you’ve

taught kids how to rethink

health and a diet and exercise you’ve

sort of

rethought the idea of

martial arts weapons like for example a

handgun

a lot of the stuff that you’re buying

are handguns

is that is that right well that’s true

but if you if you’ve seen clearly one of

the uh the movies in our canon the hank

hardbody movie canon

equilibrium you’ll be familiar with the

concept of a gun kata

and for our audience can you can you

describe what that is

well much like a normal kata in martial

arts you it’s a series of practiced

moves and angles you make with your

joints

uh except this time you’re holding a

handgun as well yes

sorry and i should clarify that uh that

is a well-known that’s a christian bail

movie

and uh i you know i’m not

as i wouldn’t say i’m as entrenched in

your teachings

as i used to be just because you aren’t

you know i’m not in school where they’re

coming around so

i mean you did come to my medical school

uh but it seemed like you were surprised

that

there were no children present um but

yes

and and so i did watch the movie at you

know whenever it was a well-known actor

uh and i didn’t i didn’t realize that

this was

so you’re training all of these children

to to use weapons in a very precise way

so that even if

it’s all it’s dark and there’s no one

like they just have heightened

perception and they can take these out

take out all these bad guys uh

i get to what are you getting at i i’m

wondering

is it because you talk about how

governments just feel threatened by you

are you threatening governments or

local authorities much like the ancient

art

of judo we believe at the hank hardbody

limited corporation

in not applying pressure directly if i

exercise a threatening presence on those

around me

that’s no fault of mine i’ve worked hard

to live the kind of life i want to lead

and if that scares the government or

people in line at the grocery store then

i

i don’t know what i can do to help them

other than to try and get them into this

program if they are indeed below the

ages

of 18. well i think to be more specific

a lot of the the questions of whether

you’re not you’re intimidating

governments come from like the videos

and sort of

weird mail that you keep sending to

various governments

sort of saying like i mean the

one the like one that had leaked was one

that you would send to

the government of iceland saying hey can

you

mark off uh six acres for me and my

militia and if you don’t

your body’s gonna look like my body but

like reverse and i guess that meant dead

i didn’t really get it it was a very

confusing message

but i mean what what what is all that

about well that was just a little bit of

a misunderstanding i think some things

got lost in translation when i said i

wanted his body to look like mine but

reverse

i mean that i wanted him to have the

most jacked legs in the universe

and uh sort of a reverse dorito shaped

body as opposed to me

brought at the shoulders narrow with the

legs

and you sent this to the government of

iceland with a message

cut out in magazine letters

and insisting on a plot of land yeah you

know you get a lot of things just by

asking i realize that with showbiz and

if you

if you’re willing to extend that and put

yourself out there you’ll be surprised

what you get back and uh

they didn’t give us six acres but they

gave us one and

that’s really the most important part

and did they oh yeah that’s huge

was there a reason why you said you know

reverse

with muscle wise like why why did you

say that you would like you did you

didn’t want to give him what you had you

wanted to give him

a reverse muscle uh i guess hypertrophy

reverse power yeah because i this is uh

i don’t want to talk about somebody

who’s not in the room but he is

just the biggest fan of field goal

kicking

and okay okay so i knew that if i

couldn’t

if i could make that happen for him he

would be overjoyed

into possibly giving us those additional

five acres okay

so so you had mentioned earlier how

uh it’s not your fault if

people around you are intimidated um

but but you have sort of

sort of expanded generally to like your

camps have swallowed up small towns i

guess is the best way to put that

um so there are there are towns that

are no longer accessible to the public

and i’m wondering if you could speak on

that like even satellites can’t get

photos

inside and i’m just wondering

do you know what is that

your non-threatening presence correct

well you know it’s it’s really

i’m so glad that you brought this up

because it highlights another tragic

aspect of what’s happening in our

country right now

these towns are unable to support

themselves they’re getting no help

the biggest industry in town is our camp

and then

the camp store becomes the only place

where you can buy

certain necessities and so even the

parents have to sort of convert their

regular us dollars into our hank hard

body coins

that they can exchange for goods and

services and

we like to protect our investments and

so when we build that wall around the

entirety of the town and put up the

anti-satellite dish

we we’re really just investing in the

community as a as a whole wow

and you know everyone everyone these

days is so political and they’re

focusing on like

oh what can we do in washington but here

is somebody who actually cares about

the community and actually cares about

giving back

and i mean hank that that is an amazing

story i i appreciate yeah i’ll give you

back i’ll give you arms i’ll give you

chest i’ll give you legs it’s

it’s all for the taking you just have to

seize it yes

yeah that’s that’s great and so once

again i don’t want to be

you know i love that you educate people

and you encourage

fitness um i you know i

once again i i have always kind of

questions about you not only did you

raise the anti-satellite thing but then

you also

you know launched your own satellite

reportedly shot down another satellite

uh and so i just i feel like people are

gonna misconstrue this

as an act of aggression and

uh could you tell you know just our

listeners so they

understand um you know why

why did you take down the satellites

and and well and weaponize your own

satellites i guess is the bigger

question

much like the ancient art of tai chi

i believe in force without aggression

see

that satellite that was one percent r

cannon

in 99 gravity and i think that says

something about the state of satellites

above our nation

um okay well

i honestly i feel like that that’s all

the questions that i

had i want to know what so right now it

sounds like you

and your army of children are really

focused on pushing this green goopy

stuff

but what’s next well

once every house in america has a bowl

of green groupie stuff

and every child spends their summers at

hank hardbody’s

summer crossfit camps i feel like the

next step will be to spread out

to the other nations of the world we’ve

already begun translating my videos into

canadian and spanish so

i look forward to the future and

what’s next and i mean can we

i mean do you have any of the goopy

stuff on you can we

do you think we could test some of that

oh absolutely you’re gonna want to

microwave this for about eight minutes

before you eat it and let it sit for

nine but

not twelve okay so

do we can we could start that

now because we actually do have another

thing we have to do

and i hate that we have to do it but we

do have

good call we have chores to do all right

so let me pop this in

beep beep beep boop beep boop boop

[Music]

so cameron you want to put down that

game and do the microwave real quick

oh yeah let me do that

[Music]

all right uh so that’s okay so yeah

while that’s cooking

we can do you’re talking about the chore

wheel is what you’re talking about and

we have to do

it we i know we got to do it i i’m kind

of okay with it now i’ve come around to

it for our listeners

people who haven’t listened to the show

maybe your new listener maybe even

listened to this in a while

uh basically we had this gigantic pile

of chores that has built up over the

last year this huge to-do list

that we’ve been neglecting i mean let’s

be honest i wasn’t even like vacuuming

or

doing the dishes or any of the stuff i

was supposed to be doing i was kind of

just throwing everything away and i hope

that we get that chore today actually

because it’s

the dishes are pretty bad no i threw

away

all the dishes in the dishwasher and all

that the sink water and all that stuff

it’s just in a

it’s in a bucket on your bed okay well

so i

threw that away so we shouldn’t have to

deal with that any longer

but anyway so we we’ve got all of the

stuff that we got to do on this chore

list and once a week we’re just trying

to

knock something out on the list we spin

the wheel whatever chore it lands on we

have to do it whether we like it or not

dr london or you know what actually dj

dylan

i want to hear how what it sounds like

when you

spin the wheel what an honor yes

here we go

all right we got oh no not this one

oh yeah i know we

i mean it’s honestly a good thing that

we got this one now

yeah no given the timing like it’s we

would have had to get it done

like yeah most of our chores we actually

get done

too late for them to be useful but this

one i believe

yeah i believe we have time you should

be able to get it done in time yeah so

everyone knows that the best streaming

service around is quibby

and quibby has done this sort of genius

moves

where instead of continuing to be a

streaming service

they’re going to pour all those billions

of dollars into one

kick-ass huge ass movie

yes and it’s i mean it’s still on the

the app

so it’s oh yeah you can still only watch

on your phone

but it’s just that’s just what the

quibby app is going to be and only for a

few minutes at a time is

yes oh right you pay 10 a month

still comes with advertisements and it’s

split up in 10 minute increments

and it’s about a four and a half hour

long movie

well that’s what they estimate based on

the screenplay

yeah it could go longer given that you

know i think

the general rule is like one page one

minute but some of the pages

specifically have like 20-minute breaks

in them

it’s a whole thing but regardless here’s

the problem that they’ve run into is

that they’ve been casting this thing

but they just can’t find the people

perfect

for this movie like they reached out to

emma stone

and you know she said no but you know

they were like i didn’t even want her

anyway like we didn’t even we weren’t

even

thinking about her and they were like oh

you know what i emailed jon hamm

and you know he but he’s busy but like i

didn’t even want i couldn’t even picture

john him in that role

so they were saying a lot of stuff so i

was thinking

and also the chore was thinking and also

quibby’s thinking that we the three of

us

might be actually perfect for these

roles but they need an audition tape

first

yeah so uh mr hard body is there any

chance that

you could lend your fame to us on this

one

all right all right you seem like some

good boys so i’ll chip in

perfect yes yes that’s okay okay okay

so uh okay so i mean we’re all it’s

gonna be uh what what

is is there a word for a dial is it a

trial log if

if there’s three people involved yeah so

here the script for the trial log

we’re gonna pass these scripts for the

trial log and i mean

dr london could you read the the title

of this

i mean it’s it’s untitled quibby project

right now yeah in parentheses

the yeah so it’s uh chanky drangle

the horse riding story

shanky trangle yes so where we’ve got

we’ve passed out the scripts we’re just

going to go ahead and read

yes unfortunately we should you know

clarify who’s reading for who so for me

i’m reading for uh miss dunkler

and i i know that’s not conventional

generally like

for you know but but you know we’re

they’re trying to go broad and diverse

with these roles so

as a as a white male i’m going to try to

play this um

this female yeah

and uh mine i mean like it seems like

they wanted a specific actor for this

role but

you know apparently they’re coming to us

for the role so my character is alec

baldwin

oh yeah in as an actor in the movie yes

uh no i did misread it so uh i am

reading for

uh miss property sorry i i

had the part highlighted confused right

right right right

and and and uh mr hard body what who

what character are you are you gonna be

reading for

it it just says horse but

there’s a lot of spoken lines here i’m

this seems like one of those sci-fi

pictures

uh it’s not sci-fi but that is the

mystery of chanky drangle i don’t want

to spoil anything

but uh and it’s gonna be so it’s gonna

be cold read for you

um gonna be kind of brand new but i mean

look mr hard body it is

you know the subtitle the it’s a horse

riding story that’s a caption

so imagine how significant of a rule

so yeah and so let me let me let me uh

open this up to the first page

and it starts with it starts with me

okay yes

uh so i’m i’ll go ahead and read the

stage directions here

uh alec baldwin wakes up from a drunken

stupor

he’s late for the snl rehearsal but he

doesn’t care he’s a huge name

so he just texts lauren from his phone

hey man

i’m gonna be late for the rehearsal but

uh you know i’ll be there for the cold

open or whatever

then he gets a call on the phone

it’s none other than miss

what’s-her-face

hello i’m miss propheton and i’m proper

as ever

hey would you like to go down to the

horse riding range

alec thinks about it for a second he’s

like you know what

i bet like keenan or beck or something

can just

play trump this week i’m kind of tired

of this you know what miss proper 10

i’m down let’s do this who are you again

yeah so i’m the the master horse

trainer for you know uh competitive

reading and writing writing spelled both

ways

writing spelled both ways smash cut two

horse stables

the horse prepares what seems to be a

lengthy speech

oh my god if i have to have another

person

sit on my back and yell at me all day i

am gonna snap

when was the last time they let me ride

around and eat the grass

i’m so sick of oats i could burst

mrs cropperton walks in

oh god wow i’m sorry to interrupt your

lengthy speech

but you got to do your reading lessons

and possibly some riding lessons

if you know what i mean mrs properton

gives the horse a big old kiss right on

the lips

come on man we have a professional

relationship i am not a man

i am miss properton but thank you

so let’s get out the books

miss property could you maybe

hold up the book to one side of my face

instead of putting it down the middle

it’s

real hard for me to see this way

oh i’m sorry i’ll just get a little

closer miss property

baldwin takes off her dress

oh my

it’s mighty hot out today ain’t it

oh oh i’m sorry uh is the gardener

coming in

oh uh it was nothing uh

uh let me um i i had these books for me

anyway this is property and can’t find

her dress so she gets a barrel

with suspenders and she’s wearing that

now that’s her outfit alec baldwin

walks in he’s hammered what are you

doing here again

oh hey what’s up horse good to see you

back at the range

yeah what what am i doing well you were

here

to help me teach horse

how to do some reading and some

writing if you know what i mean all

right here

here’s all you here’s all you need to

know horse in terms of reading

is sometimes the cue card is going to

say some stuff and

lauren’s riding your ass and he’s

telling you you need to stick to the cue

cards and not be fumbling as much

you don’t have to do any of that you’re

doing this as a favor

okay it’s not even like you’re making a

ton of money off of this you were a

movie star

you’re right you’re right i am who am i

taking this flip from

mrs properton well well i never the

horse begins to eat mrs property

that’ll show you next time i want to do

update

and scene wow well there’s one more part

it does say

with the remaining skull the horse curb

stomps mrs proper tim

like in american history x that’s what

this

sorry i guess the stage when i said end

scene i i always say that when my lines

are done

uh which i guess come to think of it

not that helpful no i think

i think that is the end of the scene

well i meant it before the same

directions in any case

um yeah that was that was great uh thank

you mr hard body

yeah thank you mr hardway that was an

amazing i mean just being able to see

you act like that was incredible i i

just seeing a pro do his job and it’s

amazing y’all are real real good to hank

i’m gonna remember this when the time

comes

yeah so one thing when the

when the time for the quibby project

comes oh oh yeah absolutely what a great

mystery i think the horse did it yeah

yeah the the great murder mystery so

one i don’t know if you guys caught in

there but

does does miss property try to

[Music]

you know commit bestiality

i feel like she was trying to come onto

the horse i’m so glad you brought that

up it did not seem appropriate like i’m

not okay with

that like bestialities

it seems weird to me well you knew the

source material i mean you you know that

this is a modern adaptation of the mr

hands viral video

so you knew what this was gonna be yeah

and i i know i had read the script

beforehand

it’s just i guess i wanted to make it

clear to our listeners like

i you know it’s not okay uh

that and that’s we were depicting

something that um

i i can’t really reveal anything because

we got an advanced copy of

aspects of the script but she gets her

comeuppance

i guess is what to convey there oh yeah

she gets curb stomped to hell yeah oh i

guess that wasn’t

yeah i do think that the horse in this

script

would be able to consent i mean he was

giving a huge speech

it seems like a lot of the ethical

issues that usually come with bestiality

are sort of null and void yes

with a a horse taking you know writing

and reading

and with him saying writing so really

that he

it sounded like he was not okay with it

no yeah and you know she found a barrel

with suspenders pretty quickly

but you know this is art this is what

art is is sometimes it challenges your

preconceived notions of society and how

things should function

yeah anyway uh so thank you so much mr

hardly that’s what quibby is now

quibby is chanky drangle the horse

writing story

uh yeah so let’s go ahead and just

submit that

great all right all right um

okay yeah so that’s already submitted uh

i guess i guess it’s time to wrap it up

so

thank you so much yeah uh mr hardbody

hey well

hank mr hardbody is there anything else

that you wanna you wanna close out on i

mean you had mentioned a second ago

about how um you’re gonna you know

because of how nice london and i were

you’re gonna remember that

for the coming times and stuff like that

i mean yeah i

i really appreciate all that you’ve done

for me coming on let me set the record

straight we have been

booted from several other podcasts

attempting to address

these hateful rumors going around about

me and my company

and you know i think that’s really gonna

reflect on your social credit score when

it comes time

for the hankpocalypse huh

okay and is that like a hank apocalypse

is that like a toyota thing

it’s exactly like toyotathon except when

you use ford trucks

okay okay yeah so is there any way for

our um our listeners to to keep up with

you afterwards

the tire marks end here it has been a

harrowing journey to track it this far

but you hardly had a choice in the

matter you did not trust the authorities

to take care of the theft

so you did not even bother to call them

no no this was an endeavor that you had

to undertake all on your own

as you venture closer to the property

you see that the tire marks stopped just

short of the yard full of lush green

grass and tall trees with overhanging

branches

you stare with disgust at the tire swing

in the yard in front of you

what a sick monster to just up and steal

a

to spoil some loser kids

welcome to the jock doc podcast

featuring dr london smith

the only podcast still waiting to hear

back from good gear tires about that

sponsorship

if you would just answer your [ __ ]

phone todd

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 palpable fistula tract and

staring contest 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 what’s uh i mean what’s

what’s going on you seem a bit down

i know we’re kind of deep into fall and

you know it’s all dark outside and

everything is this i mean is this

seasonal

[Music]

defective brain disorder yeah you mean

are you referring to like the seasonal

affective disorder

the i mean it definitely is defective

brain

look i’m not gonna say i’m a scientist

so i’m i’ll just back off on that i’ll

i’ll defer to you

especially since you know damn well that

me

saying i’m a scientist gets us into

trouble and how many times we’ve been

you know kidnapped and held hostage yeah

when i do stuff like that so yeah sure

season what did you call it defective

seasonal a [ __ ] up face disorder

disorder it’s effective brain disorder

so is that what’s going on dr london are

you all right

uh i i mean maybe i’m a little bit more

down sometimes but that’s you know uh

you know we had the holidays coming yeah

yeah you know just left and are also

coming up

and so it’s uh i don’t know is that i

mean is that the issue it could be your

diet

that sometimes that makes people a

little blue what have you been eating

lately

yeah well like you said like a lot of

blue foods has been my

uh blueberries um

uh a lot of uh you know

because i’ve been on a blue diet no name

another blue food

yeah well what i was getting to is a lot

of my food

like was once sort of tan colored or

like grains

and has since turned blue

yeah maybe i look a little bit ill

because i’ve i have been eating a lot of

food that has turned blue okay so you i

wasn’t saying you look

ill i was saying you look sad you look

blue

but you’re saying that’s because of the

foods you

might have been eating you’ve been

eating blueberries you’ve been

eating like blue skittles you’ve been

eating blue waffles you’ve been eating

these things

okay that no i kept thinking i was

trying to eat those types of things

but no what i am realizing is that my

bread may have molded

oh and well i think that should be fine

mold is from nature

well so is you know hemlock

uh so so a lot of poisonous things

and like i don’t know yeah which would

be fine to consume as long as it was

blue yeah

what about your um if it’s not your diet

because that seems

fine what about you like your newspaper

comic diet

what uh what newspaper comics have you

been consuming

each sunday when you get the funnies

okay now this is the difference between

you and i

because i don’t think it’s normal to eat

the newspaper

oh well no i i wasn’t saying

saying eating the newspaper i was just

saying like what what

what what comics are you reading and

consuming

well okay i’m also then blending up into

sort of a liquid that you drink

so usually you don’t eat a liquid

so usually i’m sorry you said uh

what newspaper am i drinking yeah

um what newspaper comics yeah so

normally i’m i’m getting are we talking

medical we’re talking bizarro are we

talking

pearls before swine uh i mean are we

talking zits

are you drinking zits no so i’m just

keeping up with the medical news

that’s been sort of the main thing i’ve

been reading which

um admittedly isn’t always cheerful

given

you know what’s what’s been going on so

so that could be i i don’t read maybe i

don’t read enough comics thanksgiving

is what you’re saying because that’s

been going on it hasn’t been exactly

cheerful

too many doctors stuffed with turkey to

do their surgeries lots of people die it

happens every year

and it’s an issue and i think it is i

mean look we’re we’re a pro medical

community podcast and we support our

doctors and our surgeons

who listen to this but i do think it’s

ridiculous that

every surgeon in america is so full

from thanksgiving day turkey that our

our death rate spike every single year

and people just say well that’s

thanksgiving for you

i’m just not sure if that’s that’s

exactly

you know factually true but but thank

you for asking about you know my

well-being

um uh but also

we’re gonna find we’re gonna we’re gonna

make you happy today anyway we’re gonna

figure this out

so that’s our producer cameron um also

with us is digital in the

[Music]

digital in house house

[Music]

i’m your host dr londonsmith.com

now this is the difference between you

and i because i don’t think it’s normal

to eat the newspaper

i don’t think it’s normal to eat the

newspaper

to eat the newspaper

[Music]

to eat the newspaper

[Music]

what uh what newspaper comics have you

been consuming

each sunday when you get the funny is

this i mean there’s a seasonal

effective brain disorder

effective brain disorder is this i mean

the seasonal

effective brain disorder

effective brain disorder yes

about you let’s talk about it over a

bowl of news

[Music]

how about you

just talk about it

[Music]

and uh later cameron tells us that we

can expect a special guest

so do look forward to that’s right dr

london yeah

but um before we move on i would like to

address a bit of listener feedback

i found this note in the lost and found

at the local library

the note reads quote are you interested

in a latino 55 year old male

yes message me if so end quote

first of all i would like to thank you

so much for reaching out

here to the jock talk podcast uh

to answer your question uh i guess

you know we we do take an interest in

all of our listeners so

yes if you just give us enough

information to reply

then i would be happy to message you

uh mr latino 55 year old male 1

um i would say if you i would say if

you’re a big enough fan

of this show to reach out to us we’ll

we’ll do a whole episode dedicated to

you

yeah right i mean we there’s only a few

two only like two or three yeah there’s

two left

yeah and we to be fair the only ones

we’ve done

episodes about were the ones who the one

who left

so uh if we got any new ones who well or

even if they didn’t listen but they did

reach out

yeah great too so i’m just saying 55

year old latino guy

if you want to reach out to us and you

want an episode of dedicated to

anything you want all the stuff you like

that’s fine i don’t care yeah i mean

we’ll

probably also throw a medical lesson in

there but yeah yeah

um anyway thank you for listening

now for today’s medical topic pulmonary

alveolar

proteinosis pulmonary alveolar

proteinosis

also known as pulmonary alveolar

phospholipoproteinosis

is a rare condition caused by the

accumulation of surfactant-like

protein and phospholipids in the alveoli

so normally the alveoli in the lungs

which are like

tiny balloons across which oxygen and

carbon dioxide are exchanged

so those alveoli are kept inflated and

from

damage by a balance of a product called

a surfactant

clinically uh pulmonary but that’s why

there has to be some sort of regulation

on that exchange to prevent

inflation from happening at a dramatic

rate right dr london

so uh in in a sense

i guess like there is a you know

lecithin sphingomyelin ratio that has to

be kept

uh but it’s not you know the regulations

are done by your own body huge okay so

you’re in favor of getting rid of those

regulations that sort of

monitor how those things are exchanged

and that way if hyperinflation happens

hey it’s no skin off my nose

i just need those regulations out of

here well i said about right well

i i don’t know if i would say that

either because this condition actually

comes from

the lack of i wouldn’t say

lack of monitoring but the the

[Music]

something imbalanced about that issue

and that causes a disease so in a sense

oh so you’re in favor of more

regulations

for these particular patients

on this kind of exchange of things that

might cause like a

a huge amount of inflation uh

well it’s it’s more of just the the the

proteinosis

but i mean in any case clinically uh

pulmonary alveolar proteinosis typically

presents with

dry cough dyspnea hypoxia rails

um progressive weight loss in patients

40 to 50 years old

and it’s actually twice as common in men

than in women

chest x-ray may show a ground glass

appearance with bilateral alveolar

infiltrates

and a bat wing distribution so it

resembles a bat

shape yeah if the clinical presentation

and the imaging studies and if you

remember

if you remember that’s sort of how this

whole i mean pandemic thing

started yes yeah no i guess

i i think they they actually they said

it was bats at first and then

pangolins wow yeah which is a type of

bat

it’s just instead of spreading its wings

it rolls up into a ball

but it’s the same animal okay i guess

you know to be fair i’m not

you know that familiar with you know i

don’t it’s the different outfit

it’s like a different costume they’re

wearing and

you know maybe uh i i can’t speak to

that

so much but anyway um

so but you’re saying it’s not it wasn’t

coming from a bat but it was coming from

the bat that’s inside of us all along

and no it’s it’s more the pangolin

that i was getting at but in any case uh

if the clinical presentation

and the imaging studies are compatible

with this condition diagnosis begins

with an evaluation for secondary causes

of pulmonary alveoli or proteinosis by

history

and that’s for things such as dust

exposure or hematopoietic

cell transplant and examination of the

peripheral blood for evidence of mild

dysplasia or

metabologic malignancy this is because

management will depend on the underlying

disease

yeah the next step in diagnosis is to

perform a flexible bronchoscopy with

bronchoalveolar lavage

which so basically you’re getting a you

know you’re getting a look and a sample

of

um what’s in the lungs and if possible

you’ll get a trans-bronchial biopsy

which is taking a little piece of the

lungs

typical lavage fluid will have an opaque

like take it home

no no so this is for the labs for the

pathology lab

why why don’t you guys let me take more

home

well i think it’s because you know the

they typically have they want to take a

look at it to

to check on a cellular level what’s

going on

the last time the last time that i went

to the dentist and they had to pull two

teeth and i said okay well can i keep

those like for my collection i like to

keep all the teeth that have been pulled

and my dentist was like no i think we’re

gonna need it we’re gonna have to at

least keep it overnight to

to keep an eye on it and i was like okay

but then next time i came in what do you

think he had on his necklace

uh a pendant yeah a pendant with my

two teeth but that sounds very strange

are you sure it was your two teeth

yeah 100 you want to know how i know

yeah i do because i had a little piece

of

lettuce stuck in between the two teeth

when i had gone in

and that’s still there you can see it

and you think that

they were they’re pulled out so there’s

no more wedge

no like no i guess crease for them to be

wedged into for the lettuce to be wedged

in

they’re pulled apart and then

you think that like the lettuce

i it honestly seems more like he

reassembled it to look like that

is this dentist like like is he a doctor

dentist like is he an actual dentist or

is this just one of your friends

well i mean i don’t know i feel like

lines kind of blur at a certain point

right

between who’s a friend who’s my doctor

who’s my dentist

yeah i mean it’s all kind of the same

you can be friends with

your doctor but what i’m asking is

is this dentist do they have a degree oh

i’m not friends with this guy he stole

my teeth

for his necklace and then reassembled it

he took

he must have taken out the piece of

lettuce and it was like oh i like how

that looked better and then i guess

glued it all together so that there’s a

now

a piece of lettuce lodged in between the

two teeth again and then put it on a

necklace

yeah i this sounds like such a specific

scenario that

is not like it’s very atypical for

dentists

but in any case um so typical lavage

fluid

has and this is for of course uh

pulmonary alveolar proteinosis

the typical lavage fluid has an opaque

or milky appearance due to abundant

lipoproteinaceous material and

cytological examination of it reveals

copious

flocculant pas positive materials

surrounding alveolar macrophages

engorged with the same material

treatment it’s variable depending on the

cause but maybe with lung lavage

and granulocyte colony stimulating

factor

although this it is an autoimmune

condition

these patients are increased risk of

infection so you actually don’t

give steroids to these particular

patients that sounds to me like it

makes them easier to defeat which

i don’t know i don’t care about but that

seems like a kind of insulting to your

patients but

whatever keep going keep going no no

that’s that was the end of it

but i i do want to oh you’re done sorry

you’re done reading from

wikipedia yeah that’s i’m finished with

reading the article

uh but there is one here about let’s see

thomas jefferson i don’t know if we no

not we we should move on

um i just got sometimes get sucked in

those wikipedia rabbit holes

oh yeah trust me one time the other day

i was looking at the toby mac

discography wikipedia page yeah

and i ended up on extreme days

the toby mac song and i was looking at

the thing for hours

so and you see that as a rabbit hole

oh i was looking at it for hours dr

london just the same page

yeah i was completely just caught up in

the moment

it sent many moments yeah uh

anyway we we can go ahead and move on

from there

[Music]

all right uh cameron do we have any

sponsors today that’s right dr

london we actually have this is actually

i think one of the most innovative

sponsors that we’ve had you know

i mean we’ve talked about it a lot like

i’m a techie

i i’m all about new cutting-edge

technology it’s in my blood it’s who i

am oh we’re let me

let me let me see that gizmo and i’m on

people’s

when i go to people’s houses i’m at

their ovens and i’m just turning knobs

and i’m pressing buttons on their

microwave

that stuff drives me wild well it’s i

mean

not to correct you with the cutting edge

you just

you do bring a razor blade with you and

you cut the edges of a lot of their

electronics i feel like that’s what i’ve

seen the most

oh yeah that’s right i mean every year

every every new line of technology thing

these things are getting thinner and

thinner you know what i mean

and so i’m all about keeping technology

light and thin and all that and if that

you know if my razor helps

accomplish that then so be it and i get

technically

your specific descriptions of slim yeah

yeah it does do that

but anyway dr london are you familiar

with the concept of

roasting like you’re roasting someone

yeah like let’s say you’re in a foreign

country where they’re

i guess it’s a cannibalistic society and

so

you get trapped caged

[Music]

that’s something maybe from your own

personal experiences i don’t know yeah

well i do missionary

i don’t know who you’re hanging out with

or who your buddies are but

this is more like heckling like roasting

people like throwing insults their way

but it’s all in good fun you know what

i’m talking about dr london

i feel like that that also happens

whenever you’re being roasted

alive or to me that they were insulting

me a lot yeah there’s a lot of shouting

and stuff i imagine there’s a lot of

commotion going on in that kind of

situation

a lot of crossover between these roasts

it would be weirder i feel like in that

situation if things were just

dead silent if you were being sort of

spit-roasted alive

and just no one was talking everyone was

looking at their phones

that would be i mean that would be

insulting

well i it’s just a cultural thing it

depends on the culture you’re in

really it was a and depending on the

type of ceremony because some of them

are

you know sacrifices some of them are

well people are so addicted to their

phones dr london

yeah yeah which i’m trying to remember

if any of those

cannibalistic societies that i visited

were

really techie yeah yeah gen z

but anyway sorry you were saying uh

something about roasting on a spit

yeah and you no no i’m talking about i’m

talking about insult

comedy doctor i’m talking about heckling

people you know poking fun

you know when there’s places like

there’s restaurants like dick’s last

resort which is a popular chain

where you know the the waiters and

everything or throwing illness

i hated that when places like that is

that i mean i assume it’s

i just it makes sense that you would

hate a place like that because

no they you can’t assaulted me the whole

time like the whole time i was there

they were mean yeah

but that’s the whole stuff that they

shouldn’t have known

oh wow they had secrets of yours yeah

but like

can i get an example i mean just stuff

that’s really private

well like you know they said that

certain parts were

bigger or smaller and uh

it was but you were saying it’s uh

that that’s popular that they commented

on your the size of your nose

yes you know they don’t that’s not like

a secret right people can just see

that uh i get

because i wear a mask now quite a bit i

feel like even with the mask you can

sort of

see and you you went recently to dick’s

last resort

this is like in the last couple months

so if you order to go

then they will uh they’ll do it over the

phone they’ll install you over there oh

okay yeah i didn’t even know i’ve never

i haven’t tried like a

i haven’t tried getting getting dick’s

last resort

as a delivery but regardless all that

kind of fun

don’t you wish you could bring those

kind of insults and that kind of

roasting fun back home that kind of

heckling

and now you can with the roast buddy

and the roast buddy the roast buddy look

how small this device is dr linden look

how small it is

it’s a tiny little dot yeah it’s only

all you do

is you call up the roast buddy

technicians and they send somebody over

and they’re gonna install this roast

buddy

on anything and everything that you own

in your home

and when you interact with those things

oh boy

those things are gonna let you have it

so i mean you might be uh sitting on the

couch for example

and then you’re gonna hear a whoa whoa

whoa buddy uh

you need to uh maybe need to lose a few

pounds

there okay that’s pretty

gentle and then you like maybe you open

the fridge and it’s like hey buddy

i think you it looks like you’ve been

gaining some pounds so

probably should uh close that fridge

there huh

and the bread and maybe the ham on the

sandwich starts going

ooh boy you eating a sandwich with that

gut buster maybe try some lettuce

fatty

okay so it’s calling it’s coming and

it’s not all just like fat based

sometimes like if you were to sit

on the toilet it would tell you like pee

you stinker did you stick your butthole

in stink juice earlier

yeah because it’s yeah we’re waste

products from your body or maybe like if

you’re eating an

apple and then you hear maybe like five

minutes later from inside your stomachs

like ew buddy did you eat a bunch of

stink juice

or like food covered in stink juice and

stinks be

you and then maybe the banana you ate

earlier

oh you got that right

and it just goes on and on like this uh

with

every product that’s in your home for

the rest of your life yes

and even the products if you take it out

of your home you might be

let’s say at the hospital and your wife

is about to

give birth to your beautiful new son

and suddenly out of your backpack you

start hearing pee

you was that baby dipped in steak juice

so okay so i do have a question on this

yeah yeah

is the the dot that i’m seeing here is

it

like is that a camera yeah i mean

and a speaker it’s a camera it’s the

speaker it

it’s doing a lot of like data because

it’s automated it’s not like in a person

actually talking to you you know it’s

it’s

processing the data it sees from the

camera

and then essentially telling you that

you’re either fat

or that you’ve been dipped in stink

juice

so far i have not been able to get it to

say anything else but i don’t know if

that’s the product

or if it’s sort of just honed in on

those two things for me specifically

uh you know because it knows that that’s

what yeah

because those are your most prominent

yeah like the things that stand out the

most

yeah and the stink espec not to

not to be harsh or anything but i know

you know you’ve been trying to

you know limit your hygiene

i don’t know i’m trying to try to say it

polite i don’t want to be a roast buddy

in this

but um you know it i mean it’s yeah no

i understand what you’re saying i’ve

moved towards a cat-like methodology

where yes i still shower

but i’ve limited those showers and in

between showers

i’m cleaning myself like a cat sort of

licking myself all over yeah

and then yeah posting the videos on to

your only fans account

but anyways the well i mean yeah it’s

only for my fans yeah

yeah all the uh cam girls as you call

them

uh the cameron producer cameron

girls yeah yeah the my favorite cam

girls all my

fans so they sign up there do they get

cleaning tips for me

this is all irrelevant look

all i’m trying to say is dr london you

think oh uh

is this is this fun is this fun roast

battle that’s always going on in my life

is this limited just to uh my stuff in

my home

no dr london you can put it in your

doctor’s office see

wouldn’t that be a treat your patient’s

coming in

and your stethoscope starts going uh

this guy’s heartbeating pretty fast

probably because it smells pretty bad

because of he’s probably

dipped in stink juice earlier yeah so at

that point

i would be worried about you know

privacy violations

uh but but i mean for

no data mining is going on there’s no

it’s not connected to the internet or

anything like that so just the camera

sees it

the data like the computer inside it

processes it and then it

spits out pu i it just sounds like one

of those things that could easily be

adapted

to a nefarious purpose you know

how technology if you take it too far

like let’s say if you have a small

device

that has some degree of ai capability

can process things fast and well to the

degree that it can see things and then

make up an insulting joke about them

out loud to you in real time that to me

sounds like

could be a could be yours but if people

sign up for it for their own homes

or their doctor’s office

or your car or all sorts of places where

i’ve already added this technology

okay um okay and it was called

roast buddy right yes it’s roast buddy

and you can find it on the internet at

roast buddy

dot l s n

let me f y p

s q r

l o 0 1 3

4 dot pizza

okay uh so that was roast buddy

um thank you to to our sponsor ew

was that sponsor dipped in stink juice

uh yeah cameron you said that we have a

guest today is that right that’s right

dr london we have

if i do say so one of the most exciting

guests that we’ve ever had on this show

dr london

i feel like you do say that about every

guest

well are you going to look at our guest

and tell him that he’s not one of the

most exciting guests that we’ve ever had

look at him in the eye and you tell him

that i’m sorry i’m sorry uh

so my name is dr londonsmith.com and

this is my producer cameron

hi yeah what was your name

hi uh yeah i’m uh my name is sean curry

okay that’s curry like the dish

um cur more i i mean yeah it’s smelled

the same but

i it’s i like to tell people it’s more

like the player

like a basketball player you know

oh so you’re talking about like steph

curry yeah

yeah you know maybe for our listeners

who aren’t uh as

sporty as dr london

uh yeah the jock dock the jock talk

himself yeah

uh yeah yeah and and i mean the the dish

is is works as well because i mean it’s

spelled the same

um but i’m you know i’m often told that

i i resemble

steph a little bit too so that’s kind of

why

that’s why i go with that that

explanation i could

resemble in what way because i can’t say

that you

look like steph curry well that’s that’s

funny that you say that because like i

get it out like all the time like i get

it all the time like people

often like when i’m just walking through

the mall they want to take pictures with

me and stuff

like i mean it might just be the

lighting in the studio like it might

just be

yeah it completely transforms how people

look lighting is super important

yeah because like you know like all the

shadows and stuff on my face

the strobe lights yeah yeah yeah because

you’re only getting like intermittent

like images of my face so you’re not

i don’t and cameron is there a reason

for that i know you set this up

is there a reason for that in the disco

ball the strobe lights

and the lasers yeah yeah yeah no i set

it up for a

kind of a cool photo shoot that i was

doing this was in

like 2012 and okay

i have not been able to turn it off

quite yet but i’m still tinkering with

it a little bit

so don’t touch it i’m tinkering with it

don’t touch it okay because i

cause it really i mean i would hate to

say but like if we had

anyone come in who maybe might be

epileptic then this could actually be

an issue kind of a cool thing to capture

on the show live

yeah i mean i i kind of like it to be

honest

like i wouldn’t tinker with it too much

like maybe like if you’re gonna tinker

with it at all like maybe put some kind

of like

colored like tissue paper in front like

purple or something

you know well every once in a while

it does flash the the like

nbc logo cover colors

because this whole photo shoot was for

whitney

it was promotional tie-in for whitney

the you know whitney cummings

sitcom yeah yeah eight or nine years ago

and uh so you do get some color every

once in a while

unfortunately when i was thinking like

what color best represents whitney

cummings

i could only think of like i guess light

color like light bulb color i i couldn’t

really

come up with anything else and this is

just a voluntary

fan shoot right like you weren’t hired

to do that oh yeah it was a spec photo

shoot yeah

yeah anyway i’m sorry uh so back to back

to our guest

um and i yeah like i said with the

strobe light it’s

it is difficult to exactly see all your

features but

yeah yeah sorry i i shouldn’t even be

throwing out things like that

sean what brings you to the show today

so i you know i’ve been listening

to uh dr london for a while now and

um you know i i just i really appreciate

the advice that he gives to all

all of your guys um you know guests and

stuff and

i’ve been kind of going through a thing

um myself lately

uh and you sure you want to go to dr

london about this

yeah yeah because like all the other

doctors that i’ve gone to they didn’t

tell me

what i wanted to hear so i i kind of

have a good feeling

i like kind of have a good feeling about

dr london um and that’s a tough thing

the medical community is really

struggling with right now is not yeah

yeah it’s like they’re always just

trying to like hold me back and like

tell me what i can’t do

and i just you know i’m a firm believer

that if i work hard

and i believe in myself i can do

anything absolutely yeah

you know and and so like i just i’ve

been really struggling lately just

because like um

i don’t like i’m you guys aren’t aware

but like i just want like i i

i’m and i’ve entered myself into the

upcoming nba draft

um oh okay i don’t like i don’t know

when this episode is gonna go up but

like you know

um i’m i’m like preparing for that and

um

i’ve been really kind of going really

like hard

lately yeah and so your comparisons

real quick your comparisons to steph

curry

isn’t just physical no yeah i’m well i

mean

the thing is like once everybody starts

saying like oh man you look like

um steph curry can i get a picture like

it really kind of just like motivated me

to really kind of like dedicate my my

life to basketball as well

and it’s been a really hard six months

but like i’ve been like really

you know just working hard trying to get

to the nba you know

yeah um so and and i don’t know if

you’ve ever been told this

and this is just just a small detail but

um do you know that nba players are kind

of famous

for like and this is just a basketball

thing

they’re they’re known for their height

uh

and i don’t know if you’ve ever well no

i think i’m like right around

average right like like average height

like i’m i think i’m like right around

that

yeah i mean i would say so you’re i mean

what do you know your height

this is something you just have to kind

of eyeball and guess at yeah i mean i

i don’t really i don’t like to measure

myself per se

yeah just because like i think it puts

like labels

on you and it’s a little bit yeah yeah

and i think it might like make

scouts think a certain thing of me that

like isn’t true

yeah so i try i try not to like do

things like you know

you know measure my height or like my

weight or anything like that i try not

to like

release you know what my like 40 time is

and you know stuff like just because

like i want them to see like i want them

to see me on the court

and then make it they want to see the

real you not yeah

yeah like i want them i want yours in

the stat sheet

yeah you know like basketball you’re not

crunching numbers on the court you’re

playing a game

you know yeah there’s like there’s an

ebb and flow in the game and

like numbers don’t always tell the whole

story

yeah and so i mean this it sounds like

you’re i mean perfect for basketball so

you’ve been training for for the nba

draft

yeah for the last six months well i’m

sorry for

listeners i should go ahead and point

out i

like at a glance i’d have to say

you’re you’re under five feet for sure

yes

well i mean i don’t like like i said

i’ve never

actually measured my height um

so i can’t say if i am or if i’m not

and also like we’re sitting in chairs

right now so how can you really tell how

tall i am

you know like i don’t i don’t see how

you can like i feel like that’s

a little bit of a leap there dr london

and i are sitting in our chairs you’re

sort of standing in your chair i’m

leaning honestly

i’m i’m leaning like i’m i’m leaning a

little bit

but you’re it looks like your feet are

in the chair and then you’re leaning

forward to be able to reach the mic

well they’re they’re like my feet

they’re like they’re like on that little

the bar you know like the bar that’s

like holding

they’re like on that but i mean they

could touch the ground if i wanted them

to

okay can i prove it well that’s why i’m

here

because like i’ve been training really

hard lately

and i’ve been feeling like a little bit

of like pain in my knee

oh okay and yeah and i’m a little

worried that like the scout that like

that might scare the scouts off

yeah especially because i don’t know for

pro i mean people worry about knees more

than anything else in basketball

yeah because i mean like dropping even

just like

three or four spots i mean that’s like a

couple million dollars off that first

contract you know what i mean like

that could be the difference between a

million dollar contract and just like

six figures so real quick though where

do you where are you

anticipating being drafted i mean

my personal opinion i

think that i’m not going to go anywhere

lower than the top 15.

oh wow yeah i think i’m going to be a

top 15 pick for sure

i mean that’s right i would be very

surprised if i dropped to 16 or

something lower than that

wow yeah and you’d be losing out on

money if you don’t

make it into that top 15 that you’re

sort of counting on exactly and

i’m afraid that this this knee injury

might

do that you know and i just i was kind

of hoping i could get like

you know dr london’s opinion on what’s

going on

like a second or whatever third or

fourth or fifth opinion at this point

yeah yeah like and and also like to just

get it out into the public so like the

scouts can hear it and then they can

know that like

nothing’s wrong and they don’t have to

be afraid to draft me and stuff like

that

yeah dr london can we i mean what can we

do to get

sean ready for for draft day it sounds

like i mean

he’s a top 20 pick right here yeah

so i and like i i hear that

and i guess the way that uh

sean here keeps kind of dodging

questions about

you know any any data that would support

you know such a claim because like once

the height for one thing is really

getting me here

um that alone i’m wondering if he

could hold a ball uh just okay

doctor dr london i i i feel like i feel

like you’re really hung up

on on numbers so

here’s a few numbers that i think can

maybe

sway you and and convince you that that

i

am really a top you know 15 pick

um okay like i

per 48 minutes

in my community college league i average

about 25 points a game

and you know like six assists

you know something around somewhere

around like somewhere between three and

four rebounds a game like this is these

are my per 48

numbers okay

so per 48 so this is every 48 minutes

straight so like so like if i over how

many games

so like if i played 48 minutes over my

my entire six-month

community college basketball career like

if i played 48 minutes every game

those would be the numbers that i would

be averaging

and how many minutes are you were you

playing per game

so like what i was because like i you

know i came into the season halfway

through

because you know it wasn’t until people

started

you know saying that like oh you look

like steph curry

you know you you know like taking

pictures with me it wasn’t until that i

realized that this was my calling so i

came in halfway through the season

and so i had to play myself into shape

and so i was probably averaging like one

to two

actual minutes but like those were

really impossible

yeah per game per game but like those

are really impactful minutes and like i

said if you like

if you expand those over 48 minutes you

know i’m averaging

you know roughly 26 six and four

yeah so well i gotta ask so you’re

you’re you’re being brought in for like

a minute are you being brought in as

like a closer like a sort of a clincher

like

are you hitting buzzer beaters like what

what is your

what is your role because people so say

you look like steph curry i mean are you

like steph curry on the court

yeah i mean like i’m i’m you know like i

shoot a lot

you know i take i take a lot of shots i

take them from far away

you know um i like i can dribble the

ball

like i can go i can go forward i can go

back to work basketball yeah

yeah like i can go side to side like i

can go anywhere like i can go anywhere

on the court that you want me to go with

the ball

like dribbling it you know oh wow yeah

could you do like a diagonal

um me see i was work i was i was working

up to the diagonal and that’s when i

started having the knee

problems oh okay yeah

yeah so okay so the

little yeah tell me about the knee

problems then because it it doesn’t

sound

necessarily super promising thus far but

maybe

it’s the knee maybe i’m missing

something here so i

like i honestly i don’t even know what

happened i like i was fine

i was fine and then all of a sudden one

day it just it was hurting

and i mean i was i’m i was literally

training

all the time like i was i was skipping

classes to to

practice i i you know sometimes i would

only sleep a couple hours a night and

i’d get up and just start like you know

dribbling and shooting

in my driveway um and you know

i was like making sure i was eating and

drinking and everything

and but like i don’t know what happened

like i didn’t hit it i didn’t fall

i didn’t twist it it just started

hurting one day

how about the pain like on a on a scale

of like

zero to ten i would say

it’s like you know

for like a normal person i would say

that the pain is probably

like you know a nine and a half but

because

but because but because like i’m meant

for this because like

god made me for this because you look

like a famous player

yeah yeah like the pain for me

because i have such a high threshold

because i’m you know i’m special

is probably more like a five or like

maybe a six

okay so i mean you know some people do

just

have occasional joint pain how long has

this been going on this pain

uh it’s probably been the last two and a

half weeks

okay okay so you’re still

you i’m sorry so i am just having

sort of some trouble with the numbers

here so the

knee thing you think is the source for

really

most if not all of your difficulties

with

trying to join you know the nba

i think it potentially could be you know

because like before all the knee issues

like i was a lock top 15 you know per 48

26 five when you st

when you say that did you talk to anyone

from the nba who said

wow you’re gonna we want you you know

we want to work with scouts reached out

to you in any capacity

or well i mean no like no like scouts

per se but like my uncle my uncle has

um season detroit pistons tickets

so like he was telling me that like he

thinks that i could really do it you

know

because he’s courtside every game you

know he’s like high level the door a

little bit yeah he’s just got a whisper

to a couple people and suddenly

yeah like you know one just it just

takes one play blake griffin going for

it for

a ball going out of bounds just you know

flying into the crowd right into my

uncle’s lap

he gives him my card or something you

know what i mean like it’s that easy

like it’s that easy

or just like kind of whispers in his ear

like hey check out my nephew

yeah yeah so i’ve got like i have like a

really i have a really easy twitter

handle

so like he could just you know say like

whisper that to him real quick and go

see

my highlights on my twitter yeah or like

do you have

or like the you the youtube url of your

reel

of your highlight reel yeah yeah being

like oh

check out youtube.com v question mark

equals underscore v upper score

w underscore h three seven

and you’re telling this to blake griffin

he’s taking this all in he’s got nothing

better to do in that moment

yeah i mean that like i purposely put

all of those symbols in my twitter

handle because like who else is using

symbols in their twitter handle right

like

i mean that makes me sick that’s what

you think is an easy twitter handle

well yeah cause nobody else is doing

that right like you see that twitter

handle you’re like oh yeah that’s the

guy with like the question marks and the

equal sign in his tw in his actual

twitter handle oh i was saying the

youtube video so your

your twitter handle is also the url

for the youtube video of your highlight

reel

yeah cause then i don’t have to like

explain like you know if i’m trying to

tell people

yeah i’m trying to make platforms right

like it’s just it’s just the same thing

on every platform

you know kind of like how for us we are

the jock doc podcast on every platform

yeah but for you it’s this sort of

randomized youtube link

yeah yeah but like see because you guys

are just using like regular letters like

in the correct order so like you kind of

just

you guys you sort of just try to like

you kind of like start to blend in

with everybody else where like i have

like yeah using the english language

yeah

yeah yeah and i’m like unconventional so

that makes me stand out

you’re a trendsetter right right a

pioneer

right exactly not unlike steph himself

exactly i mean this is why this is why i

feel like

i am meant to do this right and why i’ve

been training so hard these last six

months

this is why the username thing like

influencing people to

to it’s it’s awesome it’s a culmination

of it all it’s the it’s the username

it’s it’s the the you know the the

likeness to

to you know arguably the best player of

our generation

um you know it’s it’s all of these

things it’s all of them coming together

in this moment and it’s now being

threatened

by this very serious injury you know so

i

what what steph what steph did to the

three-pointer you want to do with

just kind of all this other stuff yeah

like like what he did to user names

dribbling exactly with your uncle you

want to be the steph curry of all

exactly exactly what he did to the

three-point shot i want to do

to the game oh yeah to to branding

yeah to marketing to advertising to

entrepreneur i want to do it

to everything i want to go to family

people still involved

everything my uncle my uncle is my cfo

he’s gonna be handling all my money wow

so okay an important part of

learning about a patient’s uh diagnosis

or to

discerning it would be to get the

medical records from the

the past physicians so i would like to

know what you were diagnosed with

before when you were trying to fight

figure out and maybe

answers that you didn’t like but maybe

some of their take could help me

in ruling out some things so

i i don’t agree with a lot of the things

that

like past physicians quote unquote

would tell me um as i like to call them

fouchy’s

you know what i mean yeah it’s like docs

that’s what i like

exactly exactly um you know they would

say things like

you know

like with your kidneys you might not

make it very long

you know like

you might not grow to a normal

size like but as you can see i am i’m a

normal size which again

lends itself to why i think

i am made for like i am meant to be

in the nba so you talked to these

doctors about you went in with your

knee problems and they were just like

hey man your kidneys are

shot that’s why you’re so small you have

sort of like a gary coleman like webster

disease or whatever

yeah and that’s exactly that’s exactly

my problem because it’s like i came to

you

with a very serious condition that being

my knee

and you’re talking to me about my

kidneys something that can be replaced

easily

like i can go to like i can go to like

kenya and replace my my kidneys right

but like i can’t replace my knees

there’s no there’s no nba player who’s

come back from like a

serious knee injury you know like you’re

telling me about kidneys

i’m i’m talking to you about my

livelihood like i’m meant to change

the world and yeah i mean

lebron james isn’t sitting down because

his kidneys hurt i mean come on like

this isn’t even

it’s so it’s not even a topic of

conversation dr london

what so the kidneys are are

a very important organ or sorry two

there’s two organs in your body it’s a

very important system

it you know it helps your body get rid

of a lot of toxins and

uh it filters your blood it uh it’s how

you make urine

it’s it’s all there’s a lot it maintains

homeostasis

uh you know acid-base balances yeah but

you have to admit

that one we have two of them and two

you can get a new one in kenya anytime

you want exactly

two you got two of them you got two of

them and

they’re just they’re all they’re like

they’re all over the place they’re

they’re available like if i need another

one i can just go get another one

you have to admit that admit that

i don’t okay and i know you want me to

admit that but

for one thing he did use the plural

kidneys to say that

so i’m i’m guessing that both kidneys

are

looking bad uh i mean that’s what they

told me

yeah so to me if both kidneys

uh are going through you know kidney

failure

just the way you phrased it that’s what

it sounds like uh

then you’re either about to be on

dialysis

or um even in the short term you might

have to be on dialysis while you get put

on a donor list

looking for kidneys that you know that

they can match to yours

and that’s you know there’s a wait list

do you think that’ll affect his

his draft day ranking yes

yes i do i mean i don’t know like scott

they’re

scouts are more worried about like what

i can do on the court i mean kidney

which there’s another issue

actually and if he’s the steph curry of

dribbling basketball family and branding

okay so i feel like scouts are any

scout’s gonna want that on their

side when he has a you know when you

have minor knee pain

from trying to run diagonally across a

court

it’s not minor i mean listen it’s minor

for me

because like i said i i

i have i have god-given abilities so it

is minor for me but like

like let’s say you dr london were

feeling what i would what i was

you’d be curled up on the ground in a

ball like i mean it it’s painful but

because i can take it

and because i was born i was like you

know god made me for this

like i can take it but i just need i

just need the scouts to know that

can i ask real quick where on your body

this pain is coming from can you point

to it with your finger all right it’s

it’s it’s like right right in here

like right in the back right right in

there okay

the back of your so i don’t see any

swelling

um you know no sign of inflammation

[Music]

uh so i guess you know

at a glance what i would recommend is

probably

you know uh icy hots and things rest

um maybe maybe you don’t need to

i don’t know you keep saying you’ve been

training hard lately maybe don’t

do that as much because i’m not i’m not

sure that this is

necessarily a realistic goal for you

uh but i mean but i’ve been dr london

what are you talking about what you

can’t

tell our guests what their dreams yeah i

mean i’ve been i’ve been

i’ve been working hard and i know all

you need to do is work hard

and you can have anything you want yeah

so

and when did the stream start six months

ago when everybody started saying i

looked like steph curry

yeah so you’re gonna look our guest in

the face and tell him that the thing

he’s been training

and dreaming about for the last six

months yeah

yeah i mean i came here i came like two

or three months

already into quarantine is when this

dream started thereabouts

could could i i have a follow-up

question here um

what what are you majoring in in

community college

why are you in community college uh

i mean was your dream prior well i’m

there

i enrolled because of the basketball

program

um you know they they have the macomb

community college

uh you know their basketball program is

is stellar it’s really it’s a really

good program

um so i kind of you didn’t know that you

were destined to be a basketball star

until after so

was it just to watch the games is that

why you chose that school well no i went

i went and watched like one game

just because like i didn’t know what to

expect you know like i was just trying

to see

like you know i still was a little i was

still maybe like a little

right like i was still maybe a little

bit unsure like you know are people

going to make fun of me

of the rules of basketball and like you

know things like that like

you know like how what what are

teammates like are they gonna like laugh

at me if i do something wrong or are

they gonna like encourage me so i wanted

to just go and get a feel for the team

right

so i went to a game and they won so i

was like this is it this is where i

belong

and so i immediately enrolled and then

went and talked to the coach and and

since the coach

um also is my uncle’s friend he’s the

one who actually

has the season tickets like the two and

they get the season ticket package

together like because of that he

let me on the team oh nice yeah even

though like their season was already

halfway done

yeah and this happened in may yeah yeah

yeah like the season got delayed a

little bit because of covet but like

you know communica like

they know you know i i don’t know dr

london

you said community colleges they know

what do they know

like lis i don’t like i don’t want to i

don’t want to discourage

anyone um you know

during this trying time but like

we all know that like the mask thing

like

come on you know like and community

colleges they’re they’re they know that

they know that

the mask thing is just like it’s oh it’s

you know

yeah no it was just for the pageantry

yeah you know it’s not

it was just an excuse to sell bandanas

for cowboy costumes for halloween

yeah yeah exactly and also like i don’t

know anybody

where i’m from who got coveted you know

i don’t know anybody like literally no

one

yeah like literally no one where i live

has coveted no one around no one’s

talking to me no one no one’s been

around me for a long time i don’t know

anyone exactly exactly and i should

and listen i

you know because just in case

they take this seriously just to make

sure my opinion is different you know

there has to be two sides to this i

would say that

you know masks are you know a helpful

thing

yeah they’re helpful to the spirit

company to be able to sell

all those bandanas for cowboy costumes

listen like listen if like i’m not

saying that kovid

isn’t real like i believe that it is

real but i like

if you live in a place where people are

getting it then sure wear a mask but

like nobody’s getting it where i live

you know

so i don’t see why i should be wearing a

mask and i think my community college

sees it the same

way which is why they didn’t completely

cancel the season they just delayed it a

couple months

right yeah and which again okay which

again

lends itself to the fact that i

am meant to do this because if i wasn’t

meant to do this

that season wouldn’t have gotten delayed

and i would have missed it yeah but

because that season got delayed

that gave me the opportunity to play

basketball which is my destiny yeah it

was sort of like

destiny bending it was it was

flight 814 crashing on that island

many years ago it was destiny pulling

you

towards towards this starting in may

uh joining your community college

basketball team

yeah yeah you know like i’m i’m happy

that producer cameron understands where

i’m coming from

dr london i’m a little disappointed i’m

a little disappointed in you i came here

trusting you

and you you’re just giving me the same

runaround that all the other physicians

have been giving me all this time

oh dialysis oh like all these kind of

like

key words and like jargon terms that he

loves throwing out all the time yeah

what dr lennon how can we fix his knees

just right now

real quick in time for draft day how do

we get his knees prepared

so you know probably take ibuprofen

um or some other um non-steroidal

anti-inflammatory like that uh

you know like i said rest it and maybe

consider you know the other career paths

i don’t know

if you’ve taken any classes at this

community college but maybe focus on

your studies a little bit

yeah i mean i i i i i took i enrolled

in an anthropology class just so i could

technically be a student

okay so you you really were only trying

to technically be there

okay i i would say pick up some more

classes

get a feel for what you like and then

you know you can you can focus on

getting a degree

and uh just like you know if nothing

else as a backup plan

in case something crazy happens

with the draft does that does that make

sense

i mean i don’t see how this is gonna

make scouts feel better about drafting

me with a with an injury dr london’s not

a sports guy he’s not

he he’s not gonna be able to to give you

what you want here

listen sean listen to me look at me sean

i’m i’m listening you’ve been dreaming

about spot number 15 how about you dream

for the top

10 baby oh i like that

listeners dream about dr london this is

this is what i

was expecting from you um was was this

kind of encouragement

shauna because i didn’t even think about

i didn’t even like i thought

you know like i’ll admit okay i’ll admit

that i’m coming to this dream a little

bit late

okay i’ve only been at it for six months

at the age of 32 i decided you know what

this is my calling yeah

and and so like i understand that i’m a

little bit behind the ball but like

i didn’t even realize i could be a top

10 pick

you know and that that’s something that

you know doctors and the establishment

these people are never going to tell you

these things because those are positions

that they

want dr london is looking at like ooh

draft day i haven’t thought about that

yet oh i bet i could be prepared for

next year that’s how he looks at those

these kind of situations

he’s trying to keep you down so he can

kind of steal that spot away

from you but yeah i mean dr london

that’s

that’s really i don’t know i there’s is

this has to be some kind of violation of

ethics

um where you’re trying to like

knock me down on my dream so that you

can advance

so you can leap frog me and you don’t

even look like an nb

like you there’s not one nba player that

i can say you look like

so i don’t even understand where this

dream of yours is coming from

yeah i mean i guess yeah he does

share a lot of facial features with shaq

i’m gonna

i you know i’m not gonna like deny that

yeah but shaq is retired he’s not even

an nba player anymore

he talks behind a desk now that’s true

he’s just another talking head

but so this is what i got asked let’s

okay forget dr london

let’s we’re speaking right now to the

scouts the scouts who are listening to

this podcast who want to hear

what you’ve got tell me like how you you

you say that you’re always shooting

shots and shooting shots from far away

how what

what percentage are you making those

shots

oh man um well i would like my again

going back to my per 48 numbers um

if you go by my per 48 numbers i would

say

that my um you know

uh deep two-pointer game

like my my shot percentage i would say

is

roughly 49 oh wow

yeah yeah like that’s per 48

yeah which i think is the most kind of

accurate

statistic that you’re gonna yeah yeah i

think that’s i think that really

i think that gives you an idea of like

where my ceiling like

i just need the opportunity to play 48

minutes and i can put this kind of i can

put this kind of performance

together you know and real quick that’s

what these numbers are telling me

real quick because i know the season was

delayed because of covid

and you joined halfway i i do gotta ask

so how many total minutes did you

play uh i mean

total like total total like all of the

minutes i play like all of

all of them like in including practice

no in a game not like at home

not maybe like watching basketball on tv

none of that stuff like in

in a game and not not in a video game

not a pickup game

or a scrimmage game in a in an

exhibition game

okay so actual

court time yeah i would say in a game

that matters like

a game that counts not not a pickup game

right right right yeah

right i would say i played about

six and a quarter actual minutes

okay so scouts if you’re listening to

this we’ve got an

experienced player who’s had minutes on

the court

who has a i mean close to a 50

uh shot range i mean how many points

have you scored

so weight out of well the the 50

is per 48. so like if i if i got to play

48 minutes

the numbers translate to a 50 shooting

percentage

yeah right which which is why i think

it’s it’s an impressive number because

i’ve only played six and a quarter

actual minutes and for that to translate

to 50 field goal shooting per

48 i think that’s a pretty impressive

number yeah i mean

you know because like because like

literally all you have to do is just let

me play 48 minutes and you will get that

production from me hey you’re

you’re preaching to the choir here i am

i am how can i get a jersey do you have

jerseys yet

well i’m not drafted yet but like as

soon as i get drafted i’m sure that that

jersey’s going to go right to the top

i forget that you’re not drafted because

you’re already talking like an nba

player

but again that just that’s just that’s

that’s because i’m destined for this

have you you should sign up for a

statistics class

this next semester it sounds like that

might be up your alley a little bit

i think i’ve got statistics down i think

i’m pretty good with statistics actually

like i think that’s maybe like the best

thing that that i do

like i’m i’m yes i am doing i am doing

two statistics what steph curry did to

the three-point shot

which again is another one of my goals

to like it’s

it’s to do what he did to the

three-point shot to the entire nba

marketing branding advertising

family and statistics wow so

so what i’m saying is that maybe

a realistic goal would be to

try just like maybe statistics for now

should be

the thing and and basketball can also be

you know a thing but but really the

statistic

sounds like that’s really maybe

something you’re good at like

naturally sure just like the rest but

statistics i don’t know i don’t i don’t

think that’s hey i’ve got a stat for you

dr london what uh

wha what percentage chance

does shawn have of making the nba

hmm let me think he dribbles really good

he takes shots whenever he can

uh it sounds like he’s got lots of good

forward back and left and right moves

and the diet and the diagonal is coming

the diamond diagonal he’s working on but

he’s got he’s working on his knee he’s

got knee issues

yeah i just need i just i got to figure

out this knee before i can get the

diagonal in

so i mean what we’re talking 85 90

chance of being drafted in the top 20

i would say you know i’m just so so i’m

thinking maybe we should kind of wind

this up

uh because we got we got

like i feel like we’ve gotten as much

out of this as we’re gonna get

it sounds like you really have a bright

future maybe a little bit more in the

area of statistics uh

maybe just some math thing i don’t know

like there’s a real need for that for

mathematicians for scientists for

statistician

statisticians there’s a lot there uh and

just

you know keep playing basketball that’s

fun

but you know have a a backup

that’s your major that you get a degree

all right shut up for a second just

just okay i’m so disappointed in you dr

london i

i was expecting so much more from this

just to be honest for

fun to wrap this up to maybe prove to

the haters like dr

london that you’re the real deal just

i’m gonna give you this water bottle and

just throw it into that trash can you

see that trash can on the other side of

the room just toss it in

this will be this will be great for our

patreon subscribers to be able to

get the live feed of this yeah that

trash can

all right so that so that that one over

there yeah

all right all right all right

so here we are okay hold on just give me

give me let me hold on yeah

you if you want me yeah go ahead

yeah let me just it is a spinning chair

so i see that you’re struggling to kind

of get

a story yeah i i can’t i can’t get on

that i can’t get the leverage i keep

like when my arm

when my arm goes the whole chair spins

so i’m just trying to like

i’m trying to get the movement right

like i’m trying to i’m trying to figure

out like the physics

you can stand up at any time i’ll take

that into account

uh well no i’m gonna i’m gonna do it sit

i’m gonna do it seated so i can show

you that i’m right right so all right so

all right here we go okay and

yeah that was i mean that was close okay

yeah but like see here so like here’s

the thing

that goes like

perfectly with my per 48 numbers like if

if you give me

47 more tries i i guarantee you

one of them will go in yeah well

okay i don’t think we have time to do

that many uh because we really and i

you know i i think we warned you about

this why is somebody else coming into

the studio

well no i i i do have a quick question

just just

really really really really quick just

to wrap this

wrap this up a bit um you you know

when i said i was kind of being nice

when i said that that water bottle got

close

it made it about halfway and that’s why

it hit dr london here

which does have me wonder when you say

that your

purse your your two pointer shot is

about a 48

chance do you mean you make it 48 of the

way to the basket

no i like i i mean like no it’s it’s

it’s like what i say if i played 48

minutes and i shot the ball

every every time

i would make 50 of those shots

right but it has nothing like it like

okay okay i think i got it i think i got

it

yeah and and if you so yeah and if and

also like

the distance between i mean there’s a

couple factors here right now like the

the distance between me and that

wastebasket

um is almost double where i’m normally

shooting from

okay um and also and also this that

water bottle

i mean it’s like a fraction of the

weight

of the ball and and also i’m dealing

with this like spinny chair

you know so like you can’t you can’t

base that one shot like this isn’t even

a real bat like that’s not a hoop

that’s not a ball all right it’s like

completely different when you have a

ball and a hoop

no that’s fake and you’re not and you’re

not in a chair that’s spinning

every time you move yeah i feel like any

scout that is

judging your you know nba

preparedness by your appearance on

an audio only podcast they’re really

going to take the new account

so you’re see so you’re endorsing me

then

so so you’re telling the scouts to not

worry about this this

knee injury you’re telling them that

it’s okay that they shouldn’t pass on me

and then i should stay in the top 15.

you have heard it here first sean curry

with the jock dock seal of approval yes

we’re we want to we want to sponsor you

if you want to be the face

of the jock doc card game that we’re

going to be coming out with

that would be incredible of of course

like

i mean yeah you guys are the ones that

are putting me on the map right now

like dundee all of this is going to be

possible because of this podcast so yeah

of course

done deal this is amazing i mean dr alan

do you have anything to

anything to add mostly just like we have

this chore that we’ve got to do

and i hate to transition so abruptly but

we really

fud like it’s one of those things that

we just can’t get out of

um yeah about the chore

can sean help us with the chore i mean

sean can you hang out for a second and

just help us with the

with our chores uh yeah yeah i can i can

hang out

yeah basically sorry sorry guys uh

for our listeners or maybe maybe new

listeners

we have had a to-do list of

chores that have built up over the last

year that we’ve kind of been neglecting

we’ve been busy and there’s been a lot

of cool stuff on the radio

and blah blah blah blah there’s a lot of

reasons why we haven’t gotten to it

but now we’re trying to get it done

we’re trying to get done of everything

that we’ve been neglecting and so we’ve

made this chore wheel we spin it every

week we do one of the chores in the

chore wheel just to knock it off

so i mean dr london can you go ahead and

just spin that wheel for me yeah

yeah let me uh let me get the lasso

okay

[Music]

okay and and it’s show and tell

great no i did not want this i knew this

one was gonna come up i mean

there’s a reason we were putting this

one uh i mean

um yep so do you want to explain

yeah i’ll go ahead and explain the mayor

contacted us

um again because that’s what the mayor

does

now and basically the mayor’s been super

bored

during quarantine i don’t know why he’s

waited until

november to come and he says the

community is but

it’s not just him he says the community

and that’s why

it but you know it’s just because he

yeah i’ve seen his twitch stream

and so he’s just trying to find new

stuff to do and so he was like oh what

if everyone got into like cool

collections like everyone started

collecting something cool

what would that look like and so he kind

of pitched that we

do a a sort of show and tell stuff that

we’ve been collecting lately

um for our collections and kind of show

it off and maybe that would inspire

him and quote unquote other people to

come up with collections of their own

so it’s a fun idea we got to do it i

don’t want to do it i hate that i have

to do this but we got to do it

so i mean i mean dr london do you want

to start us yeah so for my

collection i’ve i’ve been watching a few

you know everybody’s i feel like been

binge watching more

uh so i’ve been watching some movies and

you know with that in mind i’ve been

eating more popcorn and sometimes

when i’m eating popcorn i’ll see a you

know popcorn kernel

that it looks oh yeah it looks like a

like a look like uh and so

and not just the virgin mary though like

lots of different saints

and so i’ve been getting all these

different

saint themed and like it honestly it

feels

like we don’t like to get into religion

on this this podcast but like

it feels like something’s going on

something beyond myself

uh so anyway as i yeah i mean i would

say i would say

it’s weird enough for a person to find a

piece of popcorn that looks like the

virgin mary but if you’re finding

a bunch of saints on top of that yeah i

feel like that has to be some sort of

divine

thing yeah right yeah so this is uh this

is

um these are i’m not gonna show off too

many because like i’m i’m scared they’re

fragile because they’re

they get stale but i know they could

also get crackly so

here is the uh the virgin mary that’s

that’s what this one looks like

yeah um she’s crying

and here is uh saint nick

uh-huh oh and timely right that’s coming

up

the ultimate saint yeah yeah and uh

yeah that’s i mean and the rest okay and

the rest

are the the very martyred

ones um the ones who like

this one yeah honestly i don’t remember

the name but the guy who had his skin

removed

uh yep you know this one burned alive

a lot of them burned alive

yeah you’ve got a whole collection of

martyred popcorn pieces right over there

that have been

burned alive it’s a whole bag of it yeah

it might

yeah and it’s it’s a it’s sort of a

i don’t know it’s just one of those

things where you you think

you got you’ve ruined your night with

your burned bag of popcorn

and you’re still trying to work through

it trying to eat them all but

but then these moments come and you find

something that’s so inspiring in there

so anyway these are the

this the virgin mary piece of popcorn

the virgin mary piece of popcorn isn’t

the only thing that’s crying in this

room you know

and so for me that’s been an inspiration

that’s been

something that’s kind of been keeping my

spirits up while i’ve been

locked away uh except for all the times

i’m going to the hospital in clinic

which is uh most days constantly all

hours

are coming here to the students yes or

all the adventures that we’ve been on

that’s right uh all right so that’s

that’s my show and tell

i hope i hope the mayor likes it

yeah i think that would inspire a lot of

people now so for mine

uh mine actually it you know mine

speaking of quarantine and all that

mine actually started at the beginning

of quarantine and it’s actually i can

hold up uh

you know i can show you what i’ve got

like this is one example of a hand

sanitizer

and i’ve i’ve been collecting different

kinds of hand

sanitizers in large bulk amounts and so

you know this started like i said like

back in in february march

something like that and you know i would

go to the grocery store and there would

be pallets and pallets of these

hand sanitizers all different smells and

types

different labels and colors and i would

just start you know acquiring them all

and so now i have this

huge collection of hundreds of thousands

of hand sanitizer bottles

that it’s i mean i i gotta be honest

like i

i don’t i don’t ever get bored because

any

day of the week when i can’t find

something to do i know that i can go to

a cvs or a walgreens and just sort of

buy

all of their hand sanitizer okay so so

when you’re bored

i thought you were going to like do some

activity with a hand sanitizer that you

have

but for you it’s just about the

gathering the harvest

it’s the acquiring of it yeah okay well

you could say that i’m sort of the sean

curry

of hoarding hand sanitizer toilet paper

things like that masks bandages

yeah like what what steph curry did to

the three-point shot

and what i’m planning on applying

uh that concept to um you know

basketball marketing branding

advertising family

and statistics you’re gonna apply

whatever

sanitizer toilet paper uh bandages

band-aids uh rubbing alcohol

n95 masks in 95 max again i mean look

i’m new to all this so i’m sorry for all

the collectors out there if i’m missing

something

because it’s only started this year but

now i look at my collection

my heap of of items that i’m hoarding

and i just feel a little proud

yeah and like you need more oh yeah it

never stops

like i said when i get bored i just

start hoarding all right

uh sean yes we got to hear yours

oh man well i i didn’t i didn’t know

that uh i was gonna be doing a show and

tell but

as it so happens um right i have right

here

my uh dvd copy of the 1994 documentary

hoop dreams

um yeah i’ve i’ve been feeling

uh very inspired by this film ever since

i’ve saw ever since i saw it

i’ve been carrying it around with me

everywhere i go when did you see it um

you know uh two nights ago it was

just like really yeah it just it really

really affected me um watching the story

of arthur agee and william gates i felt

like

i felt like i was watching myself on

that screen you know

and which which is what was making me

concerned about this injury

um and why i came here today that

documentary talks a lot about

these sort of pipe dreams that are sold

to young children about about these sort

of unrealistic futures

but you feel like that you feel like you

kind of relate to that as a

as a 32 year old man who’s maybe been

told like your dreams might be a little

silly or whatever by people like dr

london

um yeah yeah and and here’s the thing

though i feel like all of the mistakes

that they made were totally avoidable

mistakes but they made them

because they were kids and they didn’t

know better right so i saw

i i watched this documentary and i

learned from

their mistakes so i feel like i’m going

to overcome

these same challenges oh wow so the

reason hoop dreams

meant so much to you is because not

because of

the the the stories that were displayed

on screen and seeing like real kids

lives

but just it taught you how you can beat

them

oh yeah yeah absolutely it taught me how

to be better like it taught me how to

get the leg up yeah okay wow

okay yeah i mean that’s incredible so so

tell you

how to be better than them but not

maybe but great um well yeah it was

it was yeah yeah but i mean it was clear

that they were going to go on to have

hall of fame careers right so if i’m

better than them that means

like i’m you know you have a real shot

i’m going to be a player of this

generation

yeah well i guess i guess at this point

um

you know i guess we’ll just wrap it up

we did our chore you want to

uh you know launch the chore wheel then

to kind of sean would you do the honors

of launching it

just this is how we end it sure um okay

so if you could just

grab something like over there

can the the one way

like it’s just normal height well yeah i

mean it’s

well i mean it’s like it’s kind of high

to me i don’t know what you guys

consider normal

here do you want to pick you up here i’m

going to pick you up all right ready

okay

okay all right all right ready yep okay

i got it i got it i got it

i got it okay no all right

pull you got it you got a strong guy

oh was that was that was like

oh there it is good okay good job

that was great man all right

i mean if you guys gave me like 47 more

chances i could i could really

really get yeah get into pulling that

lever yeah

so we’ll go ahead and um i think wrap it

up now

uh the the tour wheel’s done you know we

i think we’ve

we’ve heard a lot about you and your

inspiring story

uh so um anyway thank you to

uh sean curry for being on uh for

sharing

your hoop dreams with us uh

thank you to oh i’m sorry uh i should

ask

um is there a way for our listeners to

follow you to keep up with you after

this

uh yeah you can you can follow me on all

social media at question mark equals 7z

g w um c8 all right

and i’ve heard and this is just through

the grapevine i’ve heard that

you’re a fan of a particular show with a

podcast that we’ve

um we’ve had some interaction with by

chance

oh yeah yeah yeah i know it’s a very

small hobby of yours

comparatively but yeah yeah no i there’s

there’s this there’s like

it’s it’s your guys show and one other

podcast that i listen to and that’s

literally

it i don’t listen to anything else um

the other one

uh the other podcast called the uh the

the truth cast

um it’s these like two really smart um

and informed guys who uh they really

they they really kind of dig deep into

the things that like

the media is afraid to talk about um and

they really just kind of uncover

different kind of like truths that like

can help you

live you know a more full and productive

life

like maybe if the media is telling you

you’re too small to play basketball

exactly exactly it’s all these guys

speak truth to you

exactly these guys on this show they are

they’re nothing but positive and and

they they really kind of help

you to block out all the haters so that

you can

fulfill your dreams that’s great

uh they actually if i’m not mistaken

there’s a recent episode with some uh

some wise people on it from what i

remember oh i mean they have wise people

every ever right

yeah that’s that’s fair uh i guess what

i’m thinking of is

i don’t know maybe they were just

excitable but there were some short

people or something

uh i don’t know why i’m reminded of

today’s interview as well

anyway um we can uh yeah

we’ll wrap it up there so once again

thank you to sean curry for being on

thank you to our producer cameron thank

you to did you do in the hose

did you do in the hose

[Music]

like listen i don’t like i don’t want to

i don’t want to discourage

anyone um you know

during this trying time but like

we all know that like the mask thing

like

come on you know like and community

colleges they’re they’re they know that

they know that

the mask thing is just like it’s it’s

you know

it’s it’s for the pageantry it’s for the

pageantry

i don’t know anybody where i’m from who

got coveted

you know like no like literally no one

yeah like literally no one where i live

has covered so like

we’re safe it’s for the pageantry

we’re safe it’s for the pageantry

we’re safe yeah like literally no one

where i live has copied so like

we’re safe my name is dr londonsmith.com

and this has been the jock doc podcast

see ya

[Music]

listen like listen look i’m not saying

that kobit

isn’t real

[Music]

you know so i don’t see why i should be

wearing a mask

and i think my community college sees it

the same way which is why they didn’t

completely cancel

the season they just delayed it a couple

months we’re safe

after months of writing letter after

pleading letter

it finally happened you began putting

pen to paper so long ago

and if you’re being completely honest

with yourself you never expected your

words to bring about change

after all what is the strength of one

person

one individual in the face of the

immense populace that occupies this

granny that you penned

and the many more drafts that you threw

away when you couldn’t quite get the

wording right

they finally paid off the guys

who would always play ball at the corner

are finally officially letting you join

them for a game

now they didn’t respond to any of your

questions about

bringing in an unbiased third party

referee

nor did they address your concerns about

where

this will leave your relationships with

each of them going forward

but based on the smoke signals coming

from that building across from where

they play on the corner

you can finally be in the game speaking

of finally getting in the game

don’t forget to leave a five star review

of the jock doc podcast in which you

share about the messages you decrypted

based on a neighbor’s house catching on

fire

and consider supporting us by becoming a

patron on the jock doc podcast patreon

journal entry hour 13

as i sit here in this cramped shed

that has been my world for all this time

i begin to wonder at all the events that

led me to this point

did i always wear a bag of leaves as

trousers

do they make my butt look better or

worse

i and was it worth the 40 or did that

guy on the side of the road

take advantage of my inexperience in the

world of lower body fashion

so as i you know make this entry i’m

pulling this tarp around me for warmth

i’m just trying to think back of you

know how did i get here

just worlds ago there was a time when

life was normal

was it only hours ago

welcome to a very special episode of the

jock dock podcast

featuring dr london smith

it seems dr london has landed himself in

a

very unique situation how did he get

there

who was he with and why doesn’t he

remember

these are all questions that will

hopefully be answered in the twilight

zone

nope i mean the jock talk podcast yes

let’s take it back to the beginning

okay okay um so are we are we ready to

record

for this i don’t i don’t really want to

do this man

recording because the recording

equipment has been like

it’s been making these like little

noises and it’s also

i think these chords are too long

something’s been chewing on these

chords well you say something and then i

was dead i was shooting

those chords not on not on these i was

chewing on those chords

over there but those aren’t working

either yeah no they’re in half

like they’re they’re separated i just

are we i don’t know man and then

there’s all this stuff like with my like

with my cousin

okay your cousin again no this is a

different cousin it’s just you know he’s

in the hospital with fleas

and so i i don’t know i i i’m just tired

man but yeah let’s you know let’s get

this thing done

do you think i mean do you think that we

can go on with what we have here because

i don’t want

you know we have medical lessons to

teach i don’t want you know the

integrity of the recording be

to be compromised well i have guaranteed

our audience that we have no integrity

but we can talk about that later

i mean so if you want to

we could go record at my house i mean i

have all the

i have stuff that works better over

there like my personal stuff

in my i even have built my own little

studio honestly

real okay because i you’re normally very

private about this because

you know you say like this is your

that’s your sanctuary are you

are you sure that you’re okay with me

going there yeah i mean

i look i like to keep my my private life

private and my public life public

yes but the reality is that the

monstrous and abhorrent things that

happen in my private life

are kind of awesome and i think i should

open

up my life to more people seeing what’s

going on behind the

behind the mask you know okay yeah as

long as you’re

okay with it because like you know i’m

kind of the public face of this podcast

so i

i take the risk but if you’re willing

okay

then we can go yeah thank you for you

know

it let’s just let’s just go ahead and

put this blindfold on

what i okay well i’m still a private

person

right okay i guess all right and then

just okay

on the back of my motorcycle yep and

[Music]

you’re gonna you’re gonna want to take

your shoes off at this part

over this bridge okay well someone took

them off already

okay yeah perfect you don’t want to be

wearing your

i’m glad they gave me back the laces at

least

all right all right you can take the

blindfold off now

okay oh it’s wet okay oh yeah

everything’s wet i keep it i keep

the moisture at a solid 86

usually for for for recording studio

for the for the compound

okay so the whole area so you call this

a compound then

yeah okay yeah i

i guess i thought compound was named for

like then how there was a

you know maybe a multiple level multiple

room situation

um so so we can crawl in then so you did

peak when i was from your blindfold and

you saw that

no i’m saying right well yes i did sneak

a little peek

but anyway can we is it okay

let’s record this okay but have you have

you

you do notice that this little door that

we’re gonna crawl through

is the wettest part of the entire area

which is kind of

cool right i

that’s not like the word that i would

use but

okay um yeah okay so here we go

it’s gotta be the goopiest okay yeah

okay so there’s no way you know with

water you can measure

there is no way to measure

levels of goopiness mm-hmm

um but i’m still working on that we just

go in just go in

viscosity okay okay

wow okay so so we’re gonna have to kind

of duck down i guess

the roof is so low yeah let’s see look

at the equipment

the equipment’s solid yeah technically

it’s given how much of this place is

liquid

uh the fact that something in here is

solid is impressive and i see you’ve

you noticed the fog feet as well yeah

yeah and how it stirs in little parts as

if something’s moving

that’s just the the moisture in the air

mixing with

a lot of crap that i have on the ground

just a lot of weird

kind of weird nonsense stuff it feels it

feels a lot like yoda’s house

yeah sort of like if yoda

maybe um was getting government

well was getting like unemployment

checks

yeah okay but because of the amount of

equipment recording equipment

oh yeah he’s spending the unemployment

on the equipment

for sure yeah and nothing else yeah

okay so um i guess all right are these

the seats the um

like clay toadstools yes

okay that originally this whole place

was gonna be more alice in wonderland

themed

um and then disney

shot me with a bow and arrow was this

literal or was

was disney a friend of yours no it was a

lawyer from disney i guess

came by on a golf cart and they saw

me your shirt was disney tools yeah

they i mean they had a whole thing about

it like we’re part of disney corporation

llc

we demand we’re sending you a cease and

desist and then when i said

well what if i what if i don’t desist

and then bow and arrow

yeah and so they didn’t take the time to

explain law to you

regarding the cease and desist okay

um all right so i guess we’re

is this good for you uh i feel like we

could we could record here

yeah let’s do it this is good for me i

record

most of my shows right here not jock

talk podcast of course but

yeah most of my recordings they happen

right here this is where the magic

happens

okay so for and any other card games

that we might be playing

okay i don’t know what else we would

be playing but um all right

am i good to start is it recording

uh let me figure out

okay and should should there’s be things

grabbing at my legs

and my my ankles oh that’s just the

moisture again the moisture is up i mean

it’s like 89 right now yeah and so

you’re gonna feel a lot of yeah things

like tickling your feet

and maybe like whispering in your ear

and that’s just

that’s just what happens when the

moisture mixes with the fog

mixes with again just a lot of garbage

and

and things i don’t really want to talk

about or know about going on

below the fog okay and so let’s

let’s record okay

all right timothy timothy you recording

we got that who’s timothy huh

who’s timothy i don’t know with timothy

okay you you just said timothy that

which is why no i didn’t

no i didn’t okay do you

do you have someone else living here

named timothy

are we recording we’re recording yep i

got it okay i pressed the record button

we

are recording is there someone named

timothy who

who who does the actual audio

engineering work

okay whatever i i guess i don’t need to

know that

um all right are we we’re good to go

okay let’s go

let’s go let’s go all right

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 would 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

focal lymphocytic cielo adenitis

and willikers so i’ll try to temper my

terminology to a simpler one in the

future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron hi dr

london hi and so you know for

our listeners we’re actually recording

in a different place so i don’t know if

that’ll affect the sound

quality at all oh i i think this place

has been built from the ground up to

have the best

sound possible that’s why i mean for our

listeners you wouldn’t know this but the

moisture in this place

is through the roof and that allows the

sound waves to kind of kind of bounce

off it

and give you sort of a 3d sort of depth

and

feel okay wow and what a great

experience for our listeners

so um i guess

it is hard to convey so we we went from

another recording studio where we

normally do our recordings but this is

um sorry it’s just so uncomfortable

i do feel something crawling on me and i

don’t think it’s just fog

i is there something we can

do you have like a i don’t know a stick

to scrape

creatures timothy timothy can you pause

the record

thank you uh yeah i mean i would say

your leg is a big stick

so i would and you’d probably be able to

hit it with more force with your leg

than anything else so okay

use what use what god gave you and you

still don’t have

you don’t have anyone named timothy

around here

i mean what what did you even what did

you say i guess i’ve never heard that

name

timothy you haven’t heard tim timothy

that’s

that’s not familiar to you oh like tim i

guess like tiny tim

sure yeah

but no okay okay um so so that was our

producer cameron

who’s uh you know troubleshooting the

the

microphone and recording equipment uh

also with us is

digital in the house all right timothy

you’re recording we got that

who’s timothy huh who’s timothy

i don’t know what timothy timothy

timothy who’s timothy

huh okay you you just said timothy no i

didn’t

no i didn’t timothy

it feels it feels a lot like yoda’s

house

it feels a lot like who’s timothy who’s

timothy

who’s timothy who’s timothy who’s

timothy

who’s timothy who’s timothy

who’s timothy he just said timothy

which is why i asked no i didn’t

who’s timothy who’s timothy

who’s timothy

and later cameron tells me that we can

expect to

wow a very special guest that’s right

dr london in fact i’m gonna actually go

ahead and say

that this is the most special guest that

we’ve ever had

since the beginning of the show yeah

well you sent me their info beforehand

and

yep you know like it’s uh

you know it’s not necessarily my

specific

um i guess specialty

i specialize in everything but this one

really focuses on

it’s you know clinical psychology it’s

getting into the mind of um

actually a killer which is odd so

you know having this person he’s a mind

hunter

yeah i guess okay that’s one way to put

it i am

okay um netflix’s mind hunter

okay yeah he’s a he’s a he’s a cbs’s

uh criminal intent right so we have

that that’s that’s our guest today um

and

you know i made sure you know so that

they know this is a proper medical

education podcast

uh we’ve sent them all the relevant

links and info

and transcripts so we’re excited for it

uh and i forwarded him my address so he

should be able to get over here pretty

easily

to your address yeah

oh i um yeah because we are

uh the the method to get here was

strange but anyway yeah well and it you

know i

listeners now i like to keep my private

life private and so of course you know i

didn’t send him a link to

the address i sent him a link to an

address

where a pickup point will be there and

then

uh you know a person that i know will

pick them up and then

sort of take them to this location is

this person’s name

timothy by any chance i i just haven’t

heard that name i guess that’s what’s

really confusing to me

okay all right tim can you start

recording

all right well before we move on i would

like to address a bit of listener

feedback

so the physical mailbox that i found in

my neighbor’s yard

in the past so that was previously

occupied by a dog with you know the dog

food and everything

and then a badger um so so that mailbox

that i found it appears to have been

destroyed

and i want to say first man yeah that i

did not do it

i didn’t do it so so i

what i did do was i why are you accusing

me

this is just kind of okay cause did you

did you try to sleep in the mailbox when

the badger left

no i didn’t do anything you’re accusing

me you said

i didn’t do it which means you think

that i did it yeah well

i mean because if you didn’t do it and i

didn’t do it

the badger was gone you don’t think

there might be

oh a mind hunter a dog

maybe like a dog was using the doghouse

well but it

would why would it destroy its own house

oh maybe it got too big it was like it’s

like a shell it’s like a

it’s like a hermit crab upgrading it to

a new dog house

okay his body gets too big i you know

i’m not about

it so maybe you know for all i know

that’s that is how it works

okay so well any any of our listeners

i’m not a vet either but

i was kicked out of veterinary school

not because my grades were bad

i’ll just put you know what i mean like

it’s not because i was bad at being a

vet

you know okay and so i do think when i

talk about animals maybe my

you know i should be trusted a little

bit but that’s neither here nor there uh

go ahead and read the letter

yeah so um anyway whenever

i found all these scattered pieces of

you know the wood and everything

from the mailbox i did find a note

presumably from a listener

and the note reads quote my beautiful

granddaughter

linda calls me gran and my brat of a

grandson

calls me wallet i don’t know where they

pick up

on these things this is linda when she

was young

she is the light of my life gran loves

you sweetie

end quote oh that’s so i mean mostly

nice

um so we love to hear back from our

listeners we really appreciate

hearing back uh so i’m not sure

where grandchildren pick up on these

things either but

i think that referring to you by the

nickname of wallet

is you know maybe a little bit funny and

endearing

that it’s a little cute and this is your

grandmother

this is some listener i you know i don’t

keep up with

i don’t think it’s my grandmother

she always calls me wallet

is that i mean are you paying her well

like

she keeps sending me invoices for

you know and like and it’s grandma so

it’s weird because

normally like like i could maybe see it

if my

if my mother sent me invoices for

everything she paid for for me growing

up

but she so far she has not done that but

my grandmother

is you know sending me invoices for like

birthday gifts and stuff

yeah and sweaters that she put like she

she’ll have the calculations of

how many hours she spent knitting and

so it’s not even store-bought stuff she

made it

and apparently like everything had a

price tag

and i didn’t pay it so

so yeah this there’s no way this is your

grandmother because

if this were your grandmother she

wouldn’t be saying you know oh my

grandson calls me this blah blah blah

she’d be saying

like where’s my money yeah money you are

wallowing this is the last time i’m

gonna i’m gonna say this before sending

this to collections

yes which is which is a legal thing

that’s pending right now

um anyway uh now for today’s medical

topic eosinophilic pneumonia

now let’s break down those terms uh so

cameron you’ve probably heard of

pneumonia

uh and that’s a term for an infection in

the lungs okay yeah i guess if

i was about to say yeah and then you

just kept talking so

go ahead like that that’s fine okay yeah

so that’s

so camera just to clarify i feel like we

would have been

you know in the clear yes i’ve heard of

pneumonia yes i’ve heard of jaundice

yes i’ve heard of diabetes uh i mean

honestly let’s go through this

i’ve heard of getting a cold i’ve heard

of getting a flu yes i’ve heard of

getting a stomach bug

i’ve heard of getting food poisoning yes

gangrene

dysentery yes diarrhea i don’t know that

we need

constipation go through it all

uh because because we’re actually more

focused in this one so

urinary tract infection yes the other

term in the name

gonorrhea eosinophilic pneumonia is

uh the name um that comes from

eosinophils

which are a variety of white blood cells

and the part of your immune system

monsters ball

that is more typically associated with

fighting parasitic infections

and with allergic responses so

eosinophilic

pneumonia is a respiratory illness

character

toe by eosinophilic infiltration of the

lung tissue

and it can occur in both acute and

chronic forms

so an acute eocidophilic pneumonia

it’s a rare disease that presents

clinically with an acute illness

of when you’re like duration

when your you know elbows bend the up

the opposite way yeah so like a

hypermobile joint

cameron yeah because that’s another

thing i’ve heard of

okay um so

for for that acute eosinophilic

pneumonia the patients will solve

the the the simon pegg alien movie

that had seth rogen playing the alien

okay well that one i

i don’t think is a clinical illness nope

oh that’s right i’m sorry i forgot what

i was listening okay okay okay yeah

yeah okay so these patients with acute

stenophilic pneumonia will have a

non-productive cause

difficulty breathing and a fever um

physical exam can show fever at

increased rate of breathing

constipation with bi-basil or

inspiratory crackers

yes patients do not typically have

peripheral blood using affiliate

presentations but it does tend to

increase over the course of the illness

uh the hysterectomy eosinophilia

and then what was the disease you had

when you had the forest gump leg braces

that oh no that was just a fashion thing

that was just oh

that was a conscious choice you think i

don’t really know how to i think i’m

pretty good with

choosing you know what to wear

for yeah i mean

i guess i i’ve only seen you wear scrubs

for the past

i don’t know like 30 40 years yeah

well just sometimes you’ll i’ll try a

new fashion trim like so

that’s wait a second you you wearing

scrubs day in and day out now as an

adult

that’s that’s not a practical thing like

you’re going to and coming from work

this you think that this is a

fashionable decision

when i go to yeah when i go to work i

change out of my scrubs and into

you know slacks uh button-up shirt

lab coat um no the scrubs are just for

every day kind of looking cool oh wow

who works in medicine

oh okay wait so but do you think it’s

fashionable i guess yeah i told you it

was

fashionable no i just said he looks kind

of cool he must work in medicine

which is so you wear it to get like

thumbs up and for people to say thank

you for your service

i mean mostly just because people will

be like

wow he looks really good how did he

where did he get that

you know that kind of thing people were

asking where did you get

scrubs i assume they don’t talk to me

but it’s one of those

i see people looking at me across the

room so you haven’t heard anyone say

he looks cool like that where where do i

buy scrubs i think i guess is what

they’re asking

you’ve never heard that uh

i’m i’m i’m probably been asked that

before it’s one of

like people don’t feel comfortable

approaching me they’re very intimidated

i get it right i’m a doctor i’m a

podcast host

you know yeah and that’s the hardest

person to talk to as a doctor

yeah well outside of the office

yeah because you’re not wearing scrubs

in the office so it’s

easier to talk to you oh a lot easier

i’m wearing

yeah slacks and like i said button up

shirt like i’m just wearing

business casual business professional

whatever

yeah um so but anyway um on imaging

for acute cinephilic pneumonia the lungs

may show bilateral

diffuse mixed ground glass and reticular

opacities

uh and after ruling out infection

vascular

lips or other known precipitants a

confident diagnosis of acute

eosinophilia

sausage fingers can be made on the basis

of a combination of acute febrile

illness of a month or less hypoxemic

respiratory

and i don’t know what paul had in the

movie paul the

alien that seth rogen played i don’t

know if he had

a disease but i mean something was wrong

with him his head was huge

and his body looked like it could barely

support it so i’m gonna

take back my answer of taking back my

original suggestion of

paul and i’m gonna i’m gonna put that

back on the docket diffuse pulmonary

opacities on chest radiograph and also

uh bronco alveolar lavage eosinophilia

those are all

part of the criteria for acute cfl

frostbite yes pneumonia now in contrast

chronic

eosinophilic pneumonia uh generally

lasts from

one to four months it will typically

have that peripheral eosinophilia

throughout and mid to upper lung zone

opaque cities will be present on chest

radiograph

anyway the treatment for both is going

to be systemic glucocorticoids

and uh green eyes

so i actually and this is um for

listeners i guess i have green

eyes cameron i don’t i don’t see

it as an illness and yet you collect

checks from it

from the government giving you money

just because you were born with this

disease

no please this is what i pay my taxes

for

i don’t think so i but we can go ahead

and

you know move on from there i guess yeah

i’m pretty excited for

the guest

yeah i mean i’m pretty excited for him

too let me

check tam

tim has anyone okay anyone at the drop

the pickup point yet

i’m hearing you say tim

huh no i’ve never heard of that name

before if you could just yeah just check

no one’s there yet okay

uh no one’s at the pickup point

yeah it seems like a very complicated

way to do things

um i mean it’s not that complicated you

go to the pickup point

a guy named timothy who i’ve never even

heard of that name and there’s no one

here who even

like looks like him he goes and he picks

you up

and then at that point you go through a

series of puzzles

and the point of the puzzles is less to

educate and it’s more to kind of

keep your mind occupied so maybe you

forget any of the details you might have

picked up

before getting to the drop-off point so

these are typical puzzles

i think one i guess the hardest one is

like uh is one without

dalmatians because you know it’s a

thousand piece puzzle

and um you know the dalmatians it’s all

just like black and white

you know i feel like based on just that

much i don’t need to hear

more probably

you the guests should have an easier

time to get on their show

i mean well that i mean that’s just the

first of the three

puzzles and did is a secret clue

and that secret clue is written just

right on a puzzle it’s a thousand piece

puzzle

and um it really just has the secret

clue written all over it a bunch of

different times again it’s mostly black

and white

because it’s just sort of white and then

you know black pen

that wrote the secret clue on it so

you’re just gonna put all that together

um

but here’s here’s a question uh

is there any chance that you know maybe

they’re

because there’s a pandemic going on that

maybe the guest didn’t plan on

physically

coming here

who who are you talking about

the guest the guest that we had planned

timothy okay so now you know timothy

no i’ve i don’t know who that is i’ve

never heard that name

um no i’m talking about the head hunter

guest you were going on about like

it’s it’s a serial killer catcher

clinical psychologist something oh the

mind hunter guy

yeah yeah let me check hey timothy

is anyone at the drop-off point yet okay

i guess we can move on

um it sounds like we’ll be waiting so

for our listeners we’re just gonna be

uh we’ll be waiting for a moment for the

guests to arrive

i’m really sorry for these technical

difficulties uh

sometimes with the the wetness

of the environment in this area it can

sort of be

off-putting for people’s skin so there

is a chance that our guest

went to the drop-off point could sort of

feel it affecting his skin and then

maybe ran to the market to get some

lotion or something like that

and you think that’s the most likely

scenario

more than what you what were you saying

do you think he was

zooming around like like sonic the

hedgehog just going

[Music]

no like yes i would say it’s more

realistic that he

went to a cvs to get lotion yeah i would

say that’s true

okay all right well we can um

what do you want to do that we’ve got we

got some free time here

yeah um well do we actually

you know i forgot to bring the chore

wheel

from the studio but i actually have my

own

personal tour wheel for the stuff around

my house

okay well that’s i mean i guess i could

because like you want to just help with

like knock off a couple things uh yeah

we

have the time i guess um

why why not okay okay

so let’s go ahead and uh spin this thing

and yeah if you notice this is

a bit louder um and

how do i like audibly stinkier

than the other chore wheel but that’s we

are working on that

okay so we meaning you and tim yeah i’ve

got a

yeah well um don’t know who that

is right okay i i gotta finish a puzzle

first before i can even get

but before i can even think about

getting to that let’s just go ahead and

spin this

okay

[Music]

okay it says

feed the things that are grabbing at

your feet okay

so this is actually more complicated

than that let’s on well

my fear was that they are meant to eat

my feet so this is a comfort to me

well it shouldn’t be comforting because

that might happen if we don’t feed them

fast enough or the right way

or we don’t give them the right food

okay so what what do they eat

and so there are creatures these are

organic life forms

they eat mice like a lot of like a lot

of uh creatures and people sometimes

um unfortunately the mice are also kind

of mixed in with the fog and the

creatures

so if you i’m gonna just go i’m gonna

just put my feet up

sort of i’m gonna sit cross-legged style

okay and then i’m just gonna give you

this little spear here

and i’m just gonna let you uh hunt for

those hunt for those mice

and of course if you accidentally hit

one of the things that

i mean it’ll get you yeah

no i i don’t know if i want to do your

chores

now i mean yeah it can it’ll start

eating us pretty quickly if we don’t do

this

okay no i’m really glad it actually

landed on this one because if it landed

on something else

we would probably have to pivot to this

anyway yeah

okay okay so i’ll just

it’s he’s really sort of making these

kind of pathetic flailing motions

um i think he thinks it’s really

interesting to see what

other people think s stabbing or using a

spear is

it’s not what he’s doing ah okay it’s on

my finger

okay okay it’s yeah

i noticed you were sort of using it more

like a like a pole vault

yeah is there another way to

well i had to get around i guess that’s

true

i mean and it keeps your feet off the

ground that’s kind of smart but i don’t

i don’t really understand the reason why

you had to vault

over that bookshelf over there yeah well

i mean like you even did like a spin and

land

thing well i there was a view i thought

there might be a good view over there

and uh didn’t pan out you thought like

someone was looking into a window is

that where

to watch you and that’s why you were

doing that move a little bit of that

that was definitely a suspicion but it

was more i just to get the lay of the

land

and you know even though it’s such a

very small cramp space

filled with fog i i don’t i thought i

could get a better view of the place

maybe it looked

just like yoda’s and not so dark and

damp

but no it does look very dark and damp

throughout yeah

and it’s actually damper the higher you

go

oh that that is odd okay and that’s just

the moisture clouds gathering at the

roof

you can see that there yeah

okay and that’s those are the stink

clouds you can see

okay you don’t want to accidentally get

your head in there

yeah okay that i mean that’s a disease

you don’t want to get stinky head

yeah so and so just for our listeners

this is

in a way this is a treat we haven’t had

you know cameron’s home is almost the

guest right now

with with how like there’s just a whole

separate

system here yeah it’s you know how

people like to say

that uh you know the location is

the main character of a story like oh

new york is one of the main characters

london is one of the main characters of

this movie

or in a podcast yeah my home is sort of

the

fourth main character of the jock talk

podcast after me

dr london dj dillon and timothy

yes yeah and so and timothy

is timothy a person who

okay um should we do

i know i guess we have time for one more

chore we i assume the guest is on their

way

let me hey timothy

oh he’s doing a puzzle so he’s not gonna

look up for a while anyway okay

okay so well you know okay actually

i have a question for you okay because

you were hinting at something earlier

and if you could just be honest with me

okay so earlier i was talking about

my fashion choices and how

you know as you said i’ve been for for

decades i’ve been wearing these

scrubs pants these trousers

do you do you think do you think i

should change that

like for my cool outfits and you

you actually want my honest opinion you

know you can’t get mad at my opinion

right i i probably could but no i am

asking

so but you’re asking so you’re not going

to get mad when for me telling you the

truth

once again i can’t decide ahead of time

what my

feelings will be okay but i just want to

know there’s not going to be any sort of

retaliation i’m not going to be fired

because of my opinion on your clothes

right

and i really can’t guarantee any of that

but i would like to have your opinion on

my fashion choices whether you think i

should try to change it up

honestly even now since we have the time

all right i’m going to be completely

honest with you

and if there are consequences to this

then that is totally fine i completely

understand

um dr london when i take a look at you

um

all i see is a lack

of forrest gump leg braces i think you

need to bring those back man

with the scrubs the scrubs are killing

it

okay and you’re so i i have the

the leg braces framed at home take those

bad boys down

okay and so the scrubs are working okay

because yeah you just sounded so

critical earlier i wasn’t sure

well it’s just like how do i put this

the whole time i’ve known you i could

tell that something was

missing sort of missing

deep down sort of a

well when you say do you just mean

like below the waist waist

down sort of like a

forest gump leg braces shaped hole in

your life

[Music]

and i think that can be filled with

force gun leg braces

which you already have yeah

would you say that as if that’s weird uh

okay

okay so i can i can make that change um

i mean can i ask about like i guess i

don’t really need to ask but maybe i

feel rude for not asking about my

fashion choices um okay and i don’t want

to

okay i i don’t want to be mean i don’t

want to be mean

uh yes you do

look at your face and tell that you want

that you’ve been waiting for this

yes so for our listeners for our

listeners

um cameron has been wearing

you know you know they have those sort

of bubble boy suits

uh cameron has one of those on

except with so many holes poked in it

uh that it’s just he’s wearing

plastic bagging like thick plastic

when he walks around yeah it’s a swiss

cheese

bubble boy outfit yeah so

um i the holes are to be able to breathe

better

yeah no i assumed that that was your

train of thought

but you know you also said that because

you can only breathe in that thing for a

little while

the thing is you you told me that you

got you were wearing this suit in the

first place because

you wanted to stay safe from pathogens

from the virus you know

yeah and that’s i’m still doing that i

just made a couple air holes to make it

easier to breathe

okay i so the point i’m getting at is

that those air holes

negate the effect of the overall

costume because you’re saying the air

holes make the costume ugly

it’s not a costume i’m not denying that

but they’re the efficacy you know

uh as as a viral prophylactic

uh is is not there except it’s already

gone viral

okay okay i know about your tick tock

videos yeah

um so i know you’re wrong about that i

definitely

you okay i changed my mind you shouldn’t

be wearing scrubs because you aren’t

smart enough

to be able to answer answer people’s

questions when they call upon you at the

grocery store

we’re at the at the bank okay at the

mall

someone’s having an emergency they see

you in scrubs and they say doctor help

me

and you’re gonna go over there and

you’re gonna say oh well you shouldn’t

poke holes

in there you know what i think i’ve had

enough of this i’m gonna go for a walk

okay i’m gonna go with you and i’m gonna

take the tour wheel

and the recording equipment okay oh okay

you really have a

full setup to strap it to you okay i

mean it’s a wagon

strapped to my belt so i don’t i can do

it hands-free yeah

okay just i just kind of pull it with

the back of my pants i have to hold on

to the front of my pants of course so

they don’t

get pulled down i’m just impressed that

that’s gonna make it through this little

the crawl space exit here

okay

let me just open the wagon door so we

can get all the equipment through

and then i can just walk through

okay okay

uh is that you want to walk i’m giving

you free reign

this is this is my treat to you dr

london yeah so i’m seeing

you know cruelty because you haven’t

forced the blindfold on me i can see

there’s a road nearby

and is that who’s that by the road is

that is that timothy

gathering timothy

okay coke from the

yeah the garage fridge okay

no i don’t know who that is i think it’s

a neighbor maybe down the street or

something yeah well it does look like

they

they’ve got a bag of leaves there and so

now what i’m wondering is

if you i mean if you don’t like

if my scrub trousers don’t look good

do you think that a bag of leaves could

make

i don’t know like i know there are no

braces

on there are you suggesting that we sort

of cover ourselves in some of this goop

and go roll in the leaves

i was just gonna do the easier thing of

take the bag of

leaves and cut holes in the bottom all

right so i’m just gonna

goop you up okay here you go just

stretch your arm out

yeah and don’t don’t swallow it yeah i

need you to cough

five times then don’t

yeah don’t swallow okay and then we’re

gonna

okay okay

okay then are we do you

i mean can you roll first it is my house

just be here the gas that’s fine okay

yeah i’ll try and you’re sure this is

fashionable

yeah i mean i guess you were the one

that asked this to me i don’t i don’t

know

yeah i asked it and then like you could

have just said no

that sounds really weird but if that’s

well i wish i had known that that was an

option before i covered ourselves in

this goop

you can’t wash this stuff off okay well

let me

it has to peel off over the course of a

few weeks in that case i will uh timothy

could i get that

bag of leaves who are you talking to

the the guy by the side of the road is

that not timothy

hey tam yeah don’t listen to him

okay well i don’t think that i think

that’s a neighbor maybe from down the

street

i don’t know that guy i’ll go ahead and

ask him for the

i don’t know i feel like i could just

pay to have this done get the bag of

leaves

it’ll be secure i can tie it off as

opposed to just falling off everywhere

and i i just want to have some semblance

of clothing for my lower

half so you’d rather do that than just

be covered in

just with goop and leaves which you’re

already covered in

yes i would rather have the extra layer

of

protection okay yes so go talk to that

strange man i don’t know who that is

okay hello yes

uh how how much for the bag

of yeah with the leaves

uh-huh okay not for sale

okay um can i

you know is there is there any way i can

get you to part with it just

like look at me i’m not look

okay hundred dollars

for for a bag of dead leaves

um what what about

you know five dollars

okay 60. uh

okay maybe you know what ten dollars

okay forty dollars

i honestly it it’s worth it for

i’m in a very unusual situation if i

could yeah

okay okay

okay okay cameron i got it you got your

outfit

yeah is it does it look good

uh i mean i definitely respect it more

than

an ignorant man like yourself learning

about the scrubs yeah

okay that’s not a bunch of scrubs it’s

like

a top and bottom no yeah you’ve got the

hat scrubs you’ve got the shirt scrubs

you’ve got the pants scrubs

scrubs the elbow pads scrubs

the yeah collarbone scrubs

okay i guess diaper scrubs maybe we can

go

let’s just go back in now that we have

now that i have this

and then just um

maybe we can just end it because i i i’m

guessing that this

serial killer physician is not going to

show up i mean there’s really

no way to say that because i did send

him the address of the drop-off point

so let me just tam hey can i get that

coke from the garage

yeah so it doesn’t like he’s at the

drop-off point

now but maybe we wait let’s just do

let’s just spin a tour wheel out here

okay what one more and then maybe we can

just

call it sure sure let’s do one more okay

[Music]

okay okay cameron i don’t know what this

one means

i mean it’s pretty self-explanatory it’s

climbed to the top of

cameron mountain yeah

so where where is that i’m not seeing

maybe look behind you okay

so that whole

thing so for our listeners

uh what cameron appears to be referring

to is

a large mountain made of

diapers uh

cameron you don’t have any

children do you yet

but they look like they are still hoping

diapers

one day i’m going to meet the right lady

and and maybe have a have a couple

little cameras running around

well i guess because what i’m really

wondering is why do you have so many

used

diapers making a mountain i

don’t know who that is i haven’t heard

that name timothy

no i said used uh okay okay i guess

um let’s okay i’ll

well the chore wheel was how about you

climb that mountain then

i don’t think you know only one of us

needs to

i guess well this is what i’m thinking

do you see it here i’m going to give you

this pair of binoculars

do you see sort of like above the clouds

there where those birds are circling

around

do you see that tiny little tiny little

thing up there

yeah the the ferret is that a ferret

no the thing that’s bigger than that

ferret

thing okay a door and some windows

oh you have a did you you built

a structure on top of cameron mountain

which is

yeah i have a cabin i have a cabin on a

mountain of course you do

who wouldn’t do that okay so you’re the

reason to climb the mountain is to

enjoy the okay and unfortunately i

i know what you’re saying you want me to

go up there by myself

and and finish the chore but the actual

reason that we have to go up there

is that that’s where uh that’s where all

your checks are

oh so there’s

we’re actually okay okay all the

sponsors are paying off okay

no no your paychecks for the next two

years i

i was able to i kind of had them

forwarded to my

to my house and asked for uh

in advance for two years

okay okay so it’s so if you want to be

paid for the next two years we gotta go

up there

yeah if it’s my money then yes i do want

that

okay so we can go up i guess you can

yeah keep pulling your wagon up

yeah we got the wagon and then if we can

just

we can use one of these dog sleds

yep and if you could just pull pull me

on that

because the i don’t have a i don’t own a

dog

yeah okay but if you if

because this because i’m pulling the

wagon so i’m already i’ve already got my

hands full so you’ll just pull me

on that yeah okay

honestly i’m i’m so just ready for this

to be done but

i’ve got my you know the my

trash bag full of leaves that are

around my waist okay here we go

just uh climb our way up how are you

feeling now

i’m just gonna rest while you do this

honestly

yeah okay

what i mean to answer your question i

guess i’m doing okay

i have this buddy of mine

i guess you would call him a buddy even

though there’s sort of a transactional

nature to our relationship

that one that one definitely opened up

and that is that adult

i think it’ll matter i wouldn’t look in

there

uh sort of have you ever seen indiana

jones

yeah you know how looking in that that

diaper they opened up caused them all to

like melt

you know i i’m gonna i feel like

i know part of what you’re talking about

but it might have been

it was a gold thing not a thing full of

you know stool but i don’t that night is

a blur

for me when i watch that so yeah maybe

there’s other stuff getting mixed in

there

but the point is don’t look in there

just keep going

anyway to answer your question my buddy

i don’t know he promised to

pull me up

my mouth okay that’s we are so close to

being done and if you’re just gonna give

me attitude about

me carrying you and your equipment up a

mountain made of

used diapers which seem to be have been

used by

an adult person

[Music]

i don’t again i’ve never met a timothy

in my life

[Music]

ah and okay and we’re there okay let’s

just go inside

and we’re well don’t and watch your feet

here you

i mean you realize how high we are yeah

not for our listeners

mountain was not an exaggeration

let’s just say people have fallen

i’m getting altitude sickness right now

like it is difficult to breathe

that the smell isn’t helping either okay

oh yeah you don’t want to smell

anything so let’s just breathe

just breathe through your mouth

as much as you can just avoid breathing

through your nose

okay um oh you got a

little journal here for me

it looks like the last the last person

to ride in it

they wrote out screams

oh yeah so i think it was a double

feature of uh i mean we would watch

scream

and then we watch indiana jones okay

okay

because it looks like the the

handwriting is really shaky

it looks like they’re struggling but it

was just

from watching a scary movie uh no i mean

that’s probably they’re probably just

being consumed by the diapers and the

smell with that point because that yeah

that’ll

that’ll get you high all right

uh i’m not kidding when i say don’t

sniff this stuff it’s not just because

it’s stinky

it’s yeah it is the uh the methane gases

yeah okay um so yeah let’s just

avoid sort of an equivalent to it’s sort

of an

in-between of ketamine and pcp

like not as weak as ketamine but not as

strong as pcp

is if you ingest this

level of this specific type of diaper

fumes yeah

okay well i feel like we’re you know we

did that chore that’s two chores done

that’s more than i usually do

uh are we about ready to be to be done

here i

i just feel like the gases are really

building here

uh yeah i mean i’m just gonna take a nap

here but maybe after i get up we could

uh

you know head back down and then uh you

know you know maybe if you want to you

know

maybe want to hang out maybe we could

play some like code names or something

uh well i’m pretty i’m pretty ready to

go

well man this is making me drowsy

how long have i been out

uh why am i only wearing the those bit

like my shirt’s gone i’m just

there’s it’s so cold

because i could just write something

okay it’s been i passed out first

for so long it’s been what 12 hours

um okay i guess i can write

that makes this hour 13.

okay

so cameron i’m writing in your in this

journal is that okay

yeah all right um okay finishing up

there

well well well it seems that timothy

was the timoth key to all of dr london’s

problems all along

but one question remains who is timothy

and where were all those diapers coming

from

well the world may never know

but what we do know is that we don’t

know

in the jock dock zone

and you know i think about it i should

just

leave another dinosaur closing through

[Music]

oh no oh no no no we don’t need that and

you

don’t you don’t really get a saying

there okay

itself i’m gonna i’m gonna throw those

doctors dead

wake up

i think that while you were asleep a

diaper was thrown

and the structural integrity of your

mountain was compromised

was timothy throwing diapers in the

diaper i told him that we

it could not sustain another diaper yeah

um oh gosh

oh man i feel like i’m on ketamine

it’s like watching myself which

i mean that’s just a catchphrase of

yours before now but

with all the gases okay well that’s

uh i i kind of just want to end this i’m

not

like what the

the recording we’re still recording

aren’t we oh

yeah let me check the wagon it pulled my

pants down

uh yep yep looks like we’re still

recording

thank you to cameron our producer

for you know kind of last minute

bringing us up to some good

well inviting us into his home to record

and

oh no no no no okay and uh my name is

down if you just duck down uh we got a

big one triple dot

[Music]

it’s on the catapult thank you to

digital in the house

[Music]

like people don’t feel comfortable

approaching me they’re very intimidated

i get it i’m a doctor i’m a podcast host

you know

i’m not kidding when i say don’t sniff

this stuff it’s not just because it’s

stinky

it’s sort of an equivalent to sort of an

in-between of

ketamine and pcp

like not as weak as ketamine but as

strong as pcp

is if you ingest

this level of this

when people don’t feel comfortable

approaching me they’re very intimidative

i get it i’m a doctor

[Music]

i get it

my name is dr londonsmith.com just just

74: Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis/Sammy (feat. Laura Weeks)

Hey guys you’re about to listen to a

comedy podcast

hyena said none of this is medical

advice if you need

medical advice or medical care please

contact your doctor

welcome to the jock doc podcast

featuring the jock doc podcaster

himself

dr london smith jock doc podcasting his

way to the top of the charts

and the top of your hearts

introducing jock doc podcaster 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 uropharynogen decarboxylase

and criminy so i’ll try to temper my

terminology

to a simpler one in the future here to

help with that

is our producer cameron hey dr london

how are you feeling today

hey i guess i guess i’m feeling all

right and you what’s good

well you know i honestly this is

something i wanted to talk about i’ve

been thinking a lot lately

about how we should probably be kind of

more honest and

open with the struggles that we have

maybe with health

or physical issues or things like that

just to

uh encourage our listeners to you know

not be embarrassed by those things

okay yeah that you know talking about it

openly sort of kind of opens the way for

communication and for people to

be able to accept you there so for

example i want to be able to share like

uh

i struggle with acid reflux issues right

yes sure

that’s just a simple thing yeah is there

anything that you that you struggle with

dr london that’s pretty common yeah

sometimes um physical fitness it’s

really

hard to make yourself you know exercise

as regularly as you should

and to eat right that’s a physical

ailment for for you

or no i’m sorry yeah no i just didn’t

realize you were so perfect no no that’s

that’s fine that’s great um but you know

like uh you know

the other things that i struggle with um

one is

i can’t remember most days

um like if someone were to ask me where

i was

37 weeks ago at 2 p.m

um i i’m going to be honest i i don’t

think i could answer

oh 30 37 weeks ago i would just draw a

blank

so that i mean if unless it’s like a

holiday or an important day or a recent

day

or like i did something cool that day

for sure then i’m gonna remember that

easily

but if not then i just completely blanks

and that’s i mean that’s something that

i really struggle with

well normally at this point i would say

like you know i’m sorry to hear that

but you know that’s that’s actually

pretty normal to not

remember specifics from

you know days that far gone you know

another thing that i mean

and honestly i’ve had this since i was a

kid just

just a little boy that’s now i’m just

thinking about i i’m sorry i get lost in

it sometimes but um

you know sometimes math when i’m when

i’m trying to do math i need like a like

a

like a pencil and paper um i can’t just

do it in my head

and you know that’s something that i

think

um i think once you’ve lived with that

in your entire life then it really sort

of changes your outlook on everything

yeah are you talking about you know like

a

simple math or like a difficult math

problem

or because yeah some problems are big

enough

that you kind of have to do write it out

i know i know i

i have to write it out you don’t have to

say you have to write it out

i i know that i’m telling you that i

struggle with this issue dr london you

don’t have to be like

oh yeah if it’s complicated then you

have to write it out cameron yeah i know

that

i’m trying to be honest i’m sorry if i

was implying

that that i was trying to command you

i’m just whenever i say

you have to write it out i mean

generally people

usually have to write it out if it is a

difficult i’m just trying to be upfront

with my

the diseases that i have that i’ve been

infected with

i can’t guess the temperature exactly

i’m usually off by like three or four

degrees and just the temperature outside

yeah and you know yeah of course that

might not seem like a serious thing

but on those days in the early spring or

sort of late

fall when you don’t really know if you

need to wear like short sleeves versus a

long sleeve

and the difference of five-ish degrees

can really make a huge difference yeah

i uh sometimes i guess wrong and

then you end up with sweaty arms

or cold arms which sometimes is even

worse i’m not saying this makes me a bad

guy

in fact i i accept my flaws

and these are the special things that

make me me dr london

okay and i don’t want to to to take away

from

you know the the identity that you found

within your illness

but i and i don’t want to sound like i’m

copying

but aside from the acid reflux oh is

that something

copying is that something that you’re

you struggle with too no i’m just

i’m saying that everything except for

the acid reflux problems

you know i have dealt with at one time

or another even as an adult

that’s incredible and if it’s so brave

of you to admit that

and i’m shocked we haven’t discussed

these things we have we have closed off

a section over our friendship that could

have been open communication

this entire time something we could have

encouraged each other with but we were

too afraid to talk about it

one thing i’ve struggled with i mean

i’ve struggled with since i was a

i was a baby and honestly this is you

know my mom struggles with it and my dad

struggles with it too but i hate the

taste of fish

okay i just hate it there yeah okay

and that’s once again some people just

don’t like a fishy taste and see this is

one where i would actually break off a

little bit and say that i i do eat fish

sometimes wow yeah you know

it’s to be someone who hates fish is not

not an easy person to be in this world

because yes most people are like you dr

london i know

but i’m accepting my flaws again you

keep throwing them back in my face i’m

just really trying to be encouraging to

our listeners

mental health is actually really

important too and and that’s something

that we

need to talk about a lot of people

struggle with depression and things like

that and

one thing that i’ve struggled with yes i

haven’t always struggled with this it’s

really

more um recent advancement but you know

my ideas lack courage

and that’s sort of a mental illness that

i’ve i’ve really struggled with

over the last few years your ideas lack

courage yeah that’s right it’s not easy

to say

i would like to be like most people with

the most courageous ideas imaginable

and i’m going to therapy for it too you

know i i think therapy is something that

we should really encourage

when you say that your ideas lack

courage

do you mean like they aren’t

like courage the cowardly dog yes or

i know that the cowardly lion who lacks

courage

you know both those things yes it’s like

those things dr london

i guess what i mean is are you saying

that your ideas

aren’t um i guess new

or like pushing boundaries enough it

could be that in terms of

it just lacks the courage um

of a lot of ideas and you know

and that’s not the only thing um one

another

uh you know mental health issue that

i’ve had

um and i’ve had for a long time honestly

probably since i was a teenager not

since i was a kid but um

like what if like the color blue that i

see is different than like the color

blue you see

[Music]

okay so once again this sounds like just

kind of more of a realization than a

mental health

issue because you know

it could be that each of us sees

a different color and has a label for

that color

and that’s something and then the other

you know worked on a lot and struggled

through

especially during my college years and

but i mean i’m still to this day

i’m sort of haunted with um this

this illness and i know it’s not me it’s

not me

yet i can embrace who i am in spite of

it

and so some mornings when i wake up and

i’m i’m like

what if the color blue that i see is

different than the color blue that you

see

yeah and i and it’s like and it’s okay

that that happens

it’s okay yeah

yeah i’d say that it’s it’s very okay

and it’s because that sounds more like i

i don’t want to minimize

you know what you’re going through

because that if these revelations are a

lot for you to handle

then maybe therapy is appropriate for

i’m i’m glad you’re going to therapy

camera that’s really the bottom line

thank you

yeah uh i guess

for for me if if if you want me to

contribute a little bit this is kind of

related

um whenever i try to picture something

in my mind

you know and you you’re supposed to be

able to close your eyes and picture

something

i can’t do that nothing appears you know

on my eyelids

uh hahaha so that’s a funny joke

i’m trying to be serious here about

things illnesses that people actually

deal with

and you’re talking about you can’t

project a movie on your eyelids yeah i’m

sorry it’s just

it’s one of those things where i feel

like other people describe their

being able to make thoughts into

pictures and it doesn’t

work with me like it’s okay and maybe i

don’t

i don’t think i need to go to therapy

for mine that’s fine yeah that

i mean that is tricky but i think your

brain might just be dumb

like i don’t know if that’s necessarily

like an issue as much as like uh

um lack of creativity

okay just broken brain anyway broken

bait is that

is that is that is that broken brain

syndrome

i you know i i might have to look that

one up yeah we can move on from there

okay okay

um yeah anyway so that was our producer

cameron

uh also with us is digital in the house

[Music]

acid reflux i can’t remember most days i

said reflux

when i’m

[Music]

is

[Music]

and that’s sort of a mental illness that

i have really struggled with

[Music]

oh

[Applause]

[Music]

and later cameron tells him that we can

expect a special guest

uh a a big doctor big time doctor he’s

been making the headlines

that’s right dr london wow and so

and this is one of those ones where like

it’s been so in the news and i don’t

want to spoil it yet

but it’s just been all these

radical breakthroughs and um it’s

been this one doctor kind of at the helm

of all this research

and also some pretty questionable

ethical

methodology so i you know i’m really

excited to unpack this with the guests

yeah i don’t i’m not you banned me from

reading the news

that that’s really rude to like be

talking about people

headlines and all that stuff you said

i’m not allowed to read the news anymore

because it was radicalizing me

every which way constantly the way you

you kept saying that you wanted this

podcast to be the face of cancel culture

made me think that if you were too aware

of the current culture

you would force that onto the show so

yeah i’ve been trying to restrict some

of what you can

what you’ve access to yeah that’s

censorship by the way

yes for you specifically

but yeah yeah yeah in a sense but anyway

um before we move on i would like to

address a bit of listener feedback

if you’ll remember i actually i found a

real physical mailbox

um kind of recently with our real

physical fan mail

but uh it’s so that

mailbox has been filled with

what appears to be a badger

and the badger appears to see the fan

mail as more of its

own urine-soaked sleeping pad

so fortunately after some time um a lot

of pleading i did manage to get

one soiled letter from my neighbor’s uh

apparent

new pad did you use your hands to get

the letter or did you

yeah okay so the method okay yeah like

so yeah how did you get the thing out

because i’m i’m

question i’ve been holding your hand

this entire time and i’m questioning

whether or not that’s

that should be allowed yeah so for this

i had to sort of construct a suit

because you know when i said i was

pleading with a badger i had to get up

close

to make eye contact you know because it

kept on huddling away

okay so did you use your hands to pick

up

the urine soaked letter not that

easy a question to answer it’s not that

simple so

and part of this i didn’t i guess you

didn’t see the finished product

but you were helping me with a little

bit of the construction so i made

sort of this this wooden suit

essentially we had some

some spare lumber from a construction

project so i

made this sort of like it was kind of

like in

that that iron man suit like the

the one from the cave in that movie but

out of wood

and then wrap together with string

each of the parts and so

anyway whenever i went to the badger to

get the letter so i picked it up and it

didn’t touch my hands but it did

drip onto my hands uh-huh if that’s what

you’re asking and then so i pulled it

out like that

i guess i just want to know i mean for

people listening

dr london and i have been holding hands

this entire time this is not a normal

thing and no this is not an announcement

that me and dr london are in a

relationship

dr london is going to help me cross the

street later

and i need like an hour of preparation

with that

that is just that just something i gotta

deal with

and so that but now i’m concerned we’ve

been holding hands in preparation for

crossing the street after the podcast

do you have badger piss soaked hands

i’m not soaked i’ve been intermittently

letting go of your hand to eat a big bag

of chips one question i have

is this what you meant by a courageous

thought

holding hands crossing the street no

courageous thought would be

like um

the andy warhol painting that’s like

campbell’s soup

okay i guess i’m not

positive that i follow but in any case

so that

okay i am positive you don’t follow

don’t worry

so okay

well the note that i was referring to

that cameron’s concerned had

some urine on it uh that note reads

quote

tell that to pete he is constantly on

his

phone and i think he is having an affair

with some

alexa but she has a very stupid

voice she is probably sick in the head

and disabled in speech

end quote so um first of all thank you

so much

this listener for reaching out to us you

know we we love to hear back from our

listeners

um to answer your question you know

maybe try not to make fun of this

this alexa person because of their

disabilities

uh you know we’ve already been talking

about mental health

in this episode and you know she may not

be

a great listener or speaker uh

i think a lot of us have had encounters

with an alexa in our lives

um but she probably has a lot of

admirable qualities

yeah so you know i think

on that i don’t really want to comment

you know on this fight that you’re

having with her it’s

more i’m going to try to respect

maybe they need a mental health day you

know

and sometimes with with alexa um

you know sometimes you just got to be

able to

turn it off and turn it back on again

you know what i mean and

and sometimes that yeah mental health

day that’s a great way to

to describe it just sort of take it a

day for yourself turn yourself off

off and turn it back on again and then

you know if you’re getting a red ring

that’s that means you’ve muted yourself

you know what i mean and you want that

blue ring

going on okay

all right well um now for today’s

medical topic

hypersensitivity pneumonitis also known

as extrinsic allergic alveolitis

hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a

condition in which the inhalation of an

antigenic

agent to the alveolar level which is the

level of the lungs where gas exchange

happens

that antigenic agent induces an immune

mediated

pneumonitis so uh chronic exposure to

this

may lead to restrictive lung disease and

there’s a there are a variety of organic

dusts and chemicals that have been

implicated

some of these that are caused by that’s

that’s something i got to

organic dust yeah you mean like just the

dust around the house

no i wish my doctor has been saying that

whenever there’s a really strong wind if

i’m standing outside then it’s starting

to blow

pieces of my bones away

your doctor said this yeah who’s your

doctor

well we haven’t traded names yet

um okay but we just did it’s normally

the first thing a doctor we

did just trade snapchats so i’m sort of

i’m hoping to hear back and maybe maybe

when we get a little closer i’ll i’ll

figure

figure all that stuff out but yeah my

bum i mean if there’s a strong wind

i mean yeah i just it’s bone dust blown

in the wind

do you think that maybe it could just be

just dust that was already on the wind

and it’s not necessarily your

dust on the wind like wind is

a physical object oh yeah let me put a

sticker on the wind dr london

well you’ve seen stickers blowing in the

wind right that’s a very specific

question that i want to spend some time

thinking about

continue on your list okay yeah okay

so uh some of these um that are caused

by spores

can include things like moldy hay that

results in farmer’s lung

you can have avian droppings resulting

in bird breeders long

you can have air conditioner lung you

have

vagasosis caused by moldy sugar cane

and mushroom workers long due to inhaled

compost

now um that is something that i’ve

i’ve struggled with with a long time

moldy sugar you know i

that’s uh i mean i’ll that’s honestly

something since uh

i’ve since i’ve had since i was a kid

you

you struggle with what you mean like you

struggled with being around

moldy sugarcane no just the my bag of

sugar is moldy

and it’s been that way since i was a kid

and you know i wish

i could say oh yeah let me go just bake

these cookies but i can’t i have to tell

people

my sugar my sugar’s mold okay i guess

i’ll just breathe because we do want to

finish this lesson but like

most people haven’t been carrying around

the same

bag of sugar since they were a kid but

uh

the presence of serum igg and iga

antibodies

to the inhaled antigen is a hallmark

finding

although many individuals may have these

antibodies without developing disease

the acute form has flu-like features

such as fever chills cough

and dyspnea or difficulty breathing

chest x-ray during the acute phase will

typically show

pulmonary infiltrates as i said the

chronic form is a little bit more

insidious

more difficult to diagnose which is why

we take a good history

treatment involves removal of the

offending agents and

also sometimes glucocorticoids

i haven’t seen a sticker

flying in the wind but i what i have

seen

is it was like a bumper sticker it was

it was a calvin bumper sticker and you

know he’s peeing on

stuff and he’s peeing actually on hobbs

which i thought was interesting

usually the calvin peeing sticker it’s

like he’ll pee on

maybe like a sports team they don’t like

or something like that this was just him

peeing on hobbs and hobbs was

loving it like hobbs was like rolling on

the ground laughing about it

i don’t saw this just in the wind no no

i saw this on a car but the sticker was

peeling and so the wind was kind of like

kind of like blowing it back and forth a

little bit yeah

okay so that’s that’s an example of what

it’s like for

so things can be carried by the wind as

well i know you’re

anyway it’s it’s fine the kind of

neither here nor there we

if it’s if it’s okay with you we can

move on from there

okay i’ve been very brave today doctor

yes uh good yeah

i i okay

[Music]

[Applause]

all right so cameron i you know

like i’m just very surprised that you

managed to book this guest

uh because normally we don’t get you

know so many high-profile guests but

as i was saying are you surprised that

they’d be willing to do this show

are you surprised that i did a competent

job

okay well now now i feel like you’re

kind of putting me in a corner here

usually just compared to the usual

you usually find people say at

well i used to be at the supermarket

lately it’s been

you specific pharmacies yes you

and you you’ll jump the counter at the

pharmacy

and then you’ll shake down a pharmacist

have them tell you someone that they

know

yeah and you aren’t specific on what you

want usually just like a cousin

or like yeah and then like there you

just maybe even like

maybe even like a cousin’s classmate

like not even the cousin

that’s pretty that is really common you

say give me a name

and they don’t like there’s no context

for it so that’s

that’s the usual you’d be surprised how

many people answer immediately

like they were waiting for someone to be

like give me a name there’s something

going on you know

yeah like okay that that someone was

gonna come

demand that of them and it just happened

to be you for a lot of these people it

was not surprising to them that someone

was shaking them down and screaming

you know give me a name right which i

would say that

alone justifies me getting their friends

and cousins on the show

yeah so anyway in contrast to that

method and i don’t know what method you

used for this but

um this is a doctor who’s been

well they’ve been referring to this as

and you know kind of a hyperbole but

almost not really it’s dr brain so

they’ve been

at the head of all this you know neural

regeneration research

and simultaneously and like it just

boggles the mind how they’re doing it

but like uh there’s

they’re also very big into stem cell

research

in a separate department like it’s it’s

been so huge

what they’ve done and yeah yeah because

it’s not just like

involved in stem cell research i mean

it’s we’re talking about cloning we’re

talking about

all sorts of we’re talking about genetic

modifications you know at the head of

vibrology they’re they’re the ones

coming out with vaccines

i’m just i’m so excited to have this

particular pr

i have so much to learn from from dr

brain

and i hope that they don’t mind if i

refer to them as that

it’s almost a character name anyway um

[Music]

all right uh hello there to uh

what to dr brain okay so actually

um that’s my mom dr brain actually but

i’m actually your daughter uh so um i’m

gonna be your guest today

even said because she can’t actually

come right now actually um

okay well so my name is dr

londonsmith.com and this is our producer

cameron

hi hi glad to i’m happy to see you again

i’m gl i’m happy uh you know

right but again well yeah but i thought

oh i thought

you were dr brain oh yeah well

it’s because a lot of people think that

because i have her same eyes as her

and so sometimes people think that i’m

dr right but actually she’s my mom

but she couldn’t really come because she

had too much mommy medicine last night

you do you guys have ever you know the

mommy medicine it’s like the really big

medicine

that comes in like the really big

bottles i am

i’m not a mommy so i’m not exactly sure

but my mommy did

have like a mommy medicine but it wasn’t

a big bottle was in like a syringe oh

yeah why well my mommy sometimes has a

syringe too but

mostly she has uh the big bottle she

gets it from

she gets it from the doctor’s office

it’s down our street but it’s not the

kids doctor’s office it’s the grown-up

doctor’s office i

think his name is like a like quo

or like what we’re it’s kind of hard to

say

like we’re yeah i mean doctors can come

from all over the world so sometimes

they have crazy names like that yeah

that’s okay it sounds like you’re trying

to say yeah

liquor uh

like well it’s kind of it’s just called

her say like or

but yeah like kind of like liquor kind

of like that but

she she goes there a lot she gets her

medicine every night because she says i

give her headaches

oh are you talking about doctor like or

spirits uh-huh

yeah i i’ve never been to that guy but

i’ve heard awesome things

yeah my mommy likes him a lot she goes

there a lot of the time

and i i mean that’s pretty cool you

can’t you can’t make enough doctors yes

you know what i mean and dr london knows

that

he’s making all that cashola every time

someone walks in the office

i mean we do limit doctor visits you

know depending on

the need i feel like we’re getting off

so cameron did you

and i you know uh i’m sorry what was

your name you said

sammy was that right yeah my name is

sammy um

sammy brain is what i call myself

because they call my mom dr brain so i

like to

say sammy brain but that’s not my real

last name that’s just my nickname

that i made myself okay um

all right so so i guess so cameron my

question is so i thought we were going

to get

that you know that scientist this

leading

medical research scientist who’s been

just like destroy just all over the

headlines

yeah well i mean that’s who i thought it

was okay you did not seem surprised that

it was

you know it but an eight-year-old child

yeah because i i i just thought that was

dr brain

and i got confused okay but so actually

and i was like this okay i

i’m not trying to interrupt but i hear

you guys talking that you’re trying to

just talk to my mom but interrupt

interrupt as much as you want

i gotta say i’m pretty smart so you

could still talk to me because did you

know i even know what a billion plus 100

is

i even know what a billion plus i’m just

i’m pretty smart so

i mean no you don’t there’s no way

prove it it’s like i i think it’s like

a hundred a billion hundred i think it’s

a billion

a billion hundred wow i i mean i don’t

know

because i how would i know i couldn’t

know such a thing but that sounds right

to me

i mean uh

yeah um okay so i really so i had a lot

of questions kind of

ready for this

you know for dr brain and i don’t

uh i like i’m just kind of in kind of a

different head space for

for for this guest you know who’s in a

different headspace

my mommy this morning she woke up oh my

goodness her head was hurting so bad

and i don’t think the doctor is giving

her the right medicine because

sometimes the medicine makes her not

even get out of bed even like this

morning

wow and you know we’re talking about the

different illnesses and struggles that

people have

um and you know i really i really really

feel for your

for your mom she sounds like a brave a

brave woman

yeah the way you said yeah sort of seems

like you’re uneasy

you don’t think that she’s like a brave

woman

well i mean i mean she’s like really

brave but i don’t i don’t i don’t know

what brave means you guys always braved

me

brave was a 2012 pixar film

about a little scottish a little

scottish girl

my mom has red hair so yeah she’s really

brave she has really red curly hair just

like her

wow that’s incredible how’s that but

look

yeah she doesn’t have any dragons so i i

think

that one had dragons i’m not sure

probably

who’s to say and is there is there any

chance that

your mom’s around and she could maybe

come

and uh like she is she in the house

because she’s spared just like five

minutes

well is she kind of busy right now she’s

with

she’s with my friend do you know my

friend steve i

i’m not sure uh steve who

well it’s because he’s my friend he

comes over to our house all the time

yeah he plays with me he’s really nice

do you know my friend steve i don’t

think i mean i’m

once again yeah i’m drawing a blank here

how do you how do you know like how how

do you guys know steve

well i’m not supposed to talk about

steve in front of my dad

though because one time i did and he got

really mad and he punched the wall

and then there was even a hole in the

wall and then my mom went to the doctor

and she got a lot more medicine

so yes steve comes over now a lot but

he comes over when my dad is gone for

work only

but my dad’s gone for work a lot so now

steve’s over right now so my mom’s kind

of she doesn’t like me to

talk interrupt her when she’s when my

friend steve is over

yeah and you know i think it’s important

to maintain

friendships outside of a relationship

you know what i mean it’s

so common that everyone when they get

into a relationship just ditches their

friends but

you know even even if your dad punches a

hole in the wall you know i i think

that’s pretty cool

that she maintains a social life okay

and

so there’s no okay okay so this is what

we have we’re not gonna

we’re not gonna get a hold of the actual

dr brain um

can we hear about i mean do you ever

watch your your mom work like do you

have has your mom been working on

anything lately

yeah well she works sometimes but then

well so i was watching her work the

other day and then i was saying mom mama

because i wanted her to look at

something cool i made because she

doesn’t really pay a lot of attention to

me but it’s okay

but then she said i was being

soul-sucking

and i don’t know what a soul is you guys

know what a soul is

yes soul is actually an upcoming pixar

film that i believe is coming out just

i mean pretty soon um and it’s about

jamie foxx and

uh i think music is involved yes well

then why was i being soul sucking i

don’t really get it

uh i don’t i’m not a doctor this is this

is all you know probably

jargon that i don’t understand dr london

can you translate a little bit here

uh yeah yeah um so

so there’s the soul of

your shoe uh i’m sure she didn’t mean it

like maybe she was just busy at the time

and

uh my mom is busy a lot

yeah so and maybe cameron’s question was

pretty good in terms of

you know what um you know what’s been

the latest

uh development i mean once again she’s

been in the news but

uh there are rumors going around that

she has found a way to

you know not not wait on the body to

reconnect

uh nervous tissue like she she found a

way of material that can

actually make that connection separately

uh without all the you know the long

recovery time

that that’s usually happening so uh do

you do you have any info about

that about uh nervous tissue

regeneration

well kind of do you want to know how

many tissues i can stuff up my nose

i’d be interested in that i could sum up

like

at least seven tissues on my nose

yeah i mean do we wanna test this out dr

london do you have any tissues we can

use

uh yeah yeah no i i do i do

um here let me i didn’t realize you guys

you can

do more tissues than me more than seven

i i don’t even think you can do seven so

we’re just gonna make you prove that

real quick how many do you think you

could do

i think probably two just because of

that i have two nostrils

yeah i’d be more in the the lower range

as well

unless you gave me unless you get a wet

first or

if i’m really snotty oh yeah if i can

chew on it a little bit first

then yeah maybe maybe we can talk about

different numbers well i always chew on

my tissues before i

put it on my nose oh okay okay so that’s

the honestly i don’t

i don’t know how many i can fit up there

we should all try this real quick dr

lennon can you can you give me a few of

those pass this around

okay all right

and then i’ve got a stuff right there

you gotta do it

first oh yeah pop a couple of my mouth

doctor all i did

okay i look and this is going really

differently from how i thought

today would go

okay then we’re going to stuff that up

there i’ll go stop that

up there

okay and so i believe that’s two

so i think that’s that’s all i can do i

actually

already have seven actually

oh wow i

i guess that’s impressive you can just

i’m just gonna throw those on the ground

someone will pick them up later

thanks you came here with seven tissues

up your nose already

yeah i kind of keep up on my nose all

the time that’s why i sound a little

congested

okay because you your your airflow is

congested but just not by like mucus or

normal things just by tissues that you

put up there

yeah it’s kind of that’s science it’s

science and it’s like my kind of mic is

my safety blanket

because i don’t get hugs a lot and it

kind of feels like someone’s giving a

hug in my face

if i keep the tissues up there yeah

plus if you deprive yourself of oxygen a

little bit you kind of get a little high

what do you mean what’s happening um

it’s like a hug for your brain oh yeah i

feel it all the time like i said i don’t

get a lot of hugs so that’s why i put

the tissues in my head

yeah okay so and i don’t want to you

know

go too far i know you guys are excited

about the stuffing tissues up your nose

but

this is a medical education podcast so i

want to try to

kind of get get from this interview what

we can

um dr london did you have a specific

question or were you just going to

ramble on about

tissue you keep bringing up tissues over

and over again i don’t know what your

obsession is with it

yeah so um so one of the things that

sammy has been able to see uh that that

we

aren’t privy to is how

you know how this doctor manages her

life

um how dr brain really i don’t know

whenever whenever life gets difficult

and stressful whenever she’s

handling so many projects you know up

for nobel prize

uh how she kind of deals with her daily

life

so um i i guess

basic questions well i i believe i mean

i believe uh

she won that nobel prize by default

because everyone that she was competing

with mysteriously disappeared

in that train accident yeah

okay yeah i wasn’t gonna really go for

these kind of topics because that’s

you know no no i’m just saying she won

the nobel prize it’s amazing

yeah yeah it’s just i didn’t say that

she won because it’s been so

kind of hot you guys want to see who can

make the best trade noise

yeah it’s my pretty good chocolate

chicken

yeah harder with the tissues in your

nose i would think

yeah what can you guys beat me do you

think

um okay and i guess i guess our listener

it’s not starting here hold on

it’s not i can’t get it i can’t get

started

do you still have the tissues of your

nose let me just

put my foot on the gas a little bit

i can’t get out of the way

okay so cameron i think you might have

been demonstrating you know unlike what

sammy suggested i think he

that was a car not a train yeah it was a

car that was dragging

like two miles of other cars which is a

basically a train

okay okay um

yeah so maybe if we could talk about you

know maybe let’s not get into the

sort of mysterious things that happen

around that nobel prize situation but

we could talk about the prize itself and

why well

i i mean dr luna i think we maybe should

talk about this you

you keep fawning over this dr brain and

i i

listen dr brain i’ve read that i’ve read

the headlines even though i thought

she was an eight-year-old girl i i

you know i i respect her too but i mean

you you can’t ignore some of the

controversies

i mean actually see have you seen any

sort of like weird

things going on in the house i mean

there’s been lots of talk

about her genetic modifications but i

know that’s a lot of like

hearsay and stuff but have you ever seen

anything strange

well actually i don’t really know what

your this

word strange means because i mean

in my kitchen we have jars like big

mason jars um with liquid and then

inside the liquid is there some things

in all of them

like different kind of like floating

things and some of them kind of look

like body parts but like

probably not actually really body parts

but like they might

be because i don’t really know but then

we have about

[Music]

maybe i don’t know i can’t really count

past 200

so maybe 705 but i can’t really count

that high

of those jars you mean of the of the

jars and then there’s

some things in some of the jars that

some of them kind of scare me because

i’ll walk into a room and then i’ll be

like well there’s an eyeball looking at

me in a jar but then

i just i i get kind of used to it are

these things

moving in these jars or are they just

they’re just kind of floating around in

the liquid so they kind of just

huh yeah they’re bobble heads sorta i’m

still kind of struggling to

the the idea of having parts and jars

sounds sounds off but maybe it’s like

pickles

is that what it could be kind of like

pickles but like you don’t eat

you don’t eat them because one time i

opened the jar then my mom

screamed really really loud and then i

got really really scared

and i didn’t open it again but she

doesn’t scream when i open pickled jars

so i

i don’t know maybe it’s a little

different okay it could be expensive

pickles i guess that makes sense

yeah maybe the most expensive pickles

look like eyeballs

and maybe they do pickles have eyeballs

what

animal are pickles from uh i think it’s

like a south african

i think it’s like a snake right dr

london no

no i think it’s you know you’d you take

a

it’s a plant it’s so it’s not an animal

at all

you’re a plant you know what a [ __ ]

industry plant i think my question was

you know like i remember as a kid

going to my parents work sometimes you

know like

take your kid to work day and i would go

to my dad

to the sock factory and then i would go

to my mom

to the it was the other sock factory

because one they would make they would

make

one of each like the right right foot

ones and the left foot ones

um and that was always super fun have

you ever

like kind of gone to work with your mom

or she ever included you in any of these

like experiments or research or anything

like that well sometimes

i go to work with my mom but then

what happens is she goes into the lab

and then

what happens is i actually um don’t go

into the lab and then she actually

locks me in the car in the parking lot

so i’m like you know

i kind of see the work but i am kind of

inside the parking lot but actually it’s

okay because

i get to look out the window a little

bit but then

sometimes it gets kind of hot in the car

but then

after like maybe i don’t know like i

don’t know hours like a lot of

eight hours a lot of hours she comes

back so it’s okay

huh so so she she leaves you in the car

during the daytime you know while it’s

while it’s warm yeah well it’s like kind

of really hot like you ever feel like

you’re inside the oven and then the sun

is coming down to the glass and then it

sounds it feels like your

skin is melting off a little bit yes i

i’m i’m not as familiar with that

yeah no i trust me i’ve been there

i get myself locked in my car

i i’ve had that happen a number of times

so yeah i definitely feel yeah

well you’re cameron is kind of dodging

the bigger issue he’s locked himself

in his oven a lot more times i would say

ye yeah i don’t consider that

lock in the oven do you play hide and go

seek and then hide in your oven and then

you get stuck inside

well the so i feel like saying

locked in the oven is misleading because

it’s not locked like i can still open

the door

it’s just yeah it’s just that i am stuck

inside of there after i’ve gone in there

is the oven on when you’re inside of

there

it was it it was just like when i was a

kid

i used to crawl into the oven all the

time and then you know i grew so quickly

i didn’t realize how big i still was

and every few months i forget that and

you know

i just i end up in there and cameron

also

always turns on the oven before using it

for any

purpose which yeah it’s cold in there

otherwise

would you crawl into the oven does it

kind of make you feel like you’re back

at the mother’s womb a little bit

like it’s kind of cozy because it’s like

a small enclosed face

that’s warm it’s definitely cozy

it’s definitely just as wet um

and it’s definitely sort of

it definitely has similar smells

but i think that might just be

the smell of flesh that’s sort of like

heating up

and you know i can smell it better that

way you know what i mean

okay uh no and that’s

that’s good so maybe we’ll move on to

the actual

the nobel prize situation because that’s

really

that’s sort of the most recent big

development um

within your your mother’s career right

sami

i don’t know if was it a big deal at

home to

to learn that uh that that she’d won the

prize and you know

get all that funding um

well yeah it’s pretty cool i guess

uh actually so

what she was thinking of so i was just

reminding me of it because of the oven

of her next idea for her next prize she

was hoping to get was

yeah so she’s actually thinking of a

little bit different from what she was

doing before

like it’s still kind of science like she

wants to be more of an inventor

and so she was um gonna

come up with something called the woo

hooterus

okay so

it’s kind of like a uterus uh but like

woohoo

like hooterist because it’s like a

napping pad that people can go into

because people feel more comfortable

when they’re in the

mother’s womb is what she told me which

i think is kind of true because cameras

told me he crawls into the oven

that’s very true yeah you’re you’re

totally on the money right there

so she’s gonna make a hooters for people

to

crawl inside and then they feel like

they’re kind of back in the feudal state

and in a really tight enclosed space and

then

uh she’s hoping that would be her next

nobel prize maybe even

yeah i mean i feel like i look i don’t

know a bunch of

a bunch about doctors like you dr london

but i i have to assume that

you know winning a nobel prize for

genetic modifications and stem cell

research and all this stuff and then

immediately pivoting to

creating sort of like a sort of like a

big blanket that you crawl inside

is probably a rare career choice but

in that way it seems like a brave career

choice so i can tell you

inherited your mother’s bravery i know i

don’t have red hair like she does

yeah yeah that’s true so you’re not

brave

you’re closer to courage the cowardly

dog

which we did mentioned before okay

well you know i feel like we’ve kind of

covered

maybe everything that we can really

cover and kind of i don’t know like i

feel like we aren’t going to be more

productive in terms of the medical

education side of things

well do you guys well do you guys want

to go to my birthday party though

who’s performing well i don’t know if

anyone’s performing but

you can be my friend craig do you know

my friend craig

hmm i’m not craig

craig craig well he always comes to my

birthday parties

he well it’s because he gives the adults

candy like you know like the kids have

candy like skittles or something and

then he gives a grown-up candy

but it doesn’t really look like skittles

it kind of does but it’s like

white instead of all the colors because

i guess the colors is for kids though oh

yeah it could be closer to like a pixie

stick or something like that that’s

really cool

yeah and then so then all the adults eat

the candy and then they always want greg

to come to the birthday parties

well he sounds like a pretty cool guy i

mean yeah i’ll i’ll definitely come with

craig’s there and i can chill with him

dr london are you can you take my

birthday party because i’ll have a lot

of friends can you at least drive me

there

because my license is in the trash

yeah yeah it was revoked after the last

it’s not revoked it was in the trash

i don’t want to reach in there and get

it out it’s covered in stuff now i’m

sorry

i’m so used to it because you kept

saying revoked at first

and i picked up on him and that and then

i corrected you anyway we’re back to

this

uh anyway uh

maybe i you know i don’t know i’m not

i’m not sure

on my schedule and everything but we we

really should move on to just

we do have to do one last thing we’re

you know we’re not quite

uh we just we have chores we have to do

our chores ah the dang chores

i knew you were gonna bring that up yeah

so should i do i’m gonna give the

rundown

yeah yeah if you could uh basically dr

london and i were lazy

for a very long time and we let our

to-do list just kind of pile up

and so we have like a thousand chores

that we’re just trying to knock off and

so i created this fun

chore wheel that we spin and whatever it

lands on whatever chore

it lands on we have to complete it and

we’re gonna do it and just

mark it off and then it’s gone forever

yeah well it’s gone forever until we

have to do that chore again

and then yeah if the chore comes up

again like you don’t just do the dishes

once and then

you’ve done the dishes forever oh so now

you believe that okay

so you want to go ahead and uh go ahead

and give it a give it give it old spin

dr london yeah actually sammy would you

like to spin it okay i’m pretty strong

so

it’s good that you asked me

all right okay not this one

uh dr london i thought you said we

weren’t gonna get political i know and i

don’t want to get political and this is

um okay so look and once again we

we are in a political podcast we know we

we try to avoid

topics of religion or politics because

we just want the medical science

but we are citizens of a country

um and this this country that we’re in

is the united states of america

and so anyway this chore is

uh choose

choose your side in the election uh

we’re choosing who we’re voting for

uh dr london and i are unfortunately

undecided voters

um and we

we gotta we gotta figure this out i

gotta vote for someone yeah people keep

telling me to vote and if i don’t i

think they’re gonna

kick myself it’ll hurt you yeah so um

anyway so as we said earlier cameron has

completely he was blocked well i blocked

him from seeing any media coverage

so he does not know what’s in the news

aside from

you know some of these medical well

specifically the nobel prize

stuff so he’s been pretty out of the

loop i’ve been busy

with taking care of my patients so i

really haven’t looked at the news much

so i set cameron

on a specific task to find out about

uh this election yeah and i’ve done a

lot of research let me tell you

yeah i’ve spent a lot of time on this

okay so if you could just

and i don’t want to lose listeners over

us getting political but but hear us out

because i think that we

are able to tackle these issues pretty

well i mean look i i

keep reading about it and

you know yes there’s there’s a lot of

different beliefs on both sides but i’m

going to be completely honest dr london

i’m having a hard time choosing between

uh cleveland and harrison yeah and

whenever you introduced me to this

because once again

we’ve both been pretty out of the loop

we’ve been kind of just focusing on our

jobs

um apparently uh there’s there’s a big

sort of tariff

issue um yeah

that’s putting it lightly i mean you

know president cleveland

he is talking big about

you know he’s gonna he’s gonna make all

these

reductions in the tariffs whereas you

got harrison on the other side saying

i think the tariffs are kind of at an

okay rate

yeah okay and it’s i mean if this has

torn my family apart they’re screaming

at each other over this

everyone’s like deleted each other out

of the group chat

it’s been a huge mess doctor yeah yeah

and it’s it’s just so much to do

and sammy i don’t know if you have any

thoughts on this

i don’t know what a tariff is yeah so

i’m sorry so a

tariff was an old pixar short

from um before toy story was created it

was sort of it was sort of a demo reel

okay that sounds pretty cool okay so

you’re in favor you’re pro tariff which

that’s which candidate that that’s which

kid have you not been paying attention

i’m sorry it’s been

i’m having to teach you this i’m sorry i

know

i i know the two candidates and i don’t

want to be one of the people who just

picks a side because harrison was okay

with the terrorists

cleveland wanted to clear it cleveland

wants to lower that okay

substantially too okay and cleveland is

the incumbent as well

what we’ll find out um if he continues

to be so

anyway uh and other little i have little

just

fun facts some recent developments to

bear in mind for this election

that might influence our decisions

things that happened

during the incumbent’s you know time and

power

so uh the statue of liberty has been

unveiled and dedicated by

president cleveland so that’s something

to bear in mind i don’t know if you’re

pro statue of liberty or anti um

i gotta i need to get up on the

like on her crown to really make a

judgment call on that i’ve never been up

there

yeah all right and then coca-cola was

introduced

um also during president cleveland’s

time

and there’s something about this coke i

hope they don’t change it because right

now

okay it uh gets it going yeah you’re

trying to yeah you’re trying to say my

step

um yeah so

uh let’s see also under

cleveland let’s see oh the the postal

service started their special delivery

service and i need my packages so

um anyway i think that’s that’s about it

uh hopefully we have enough sort of to

go on

you know to pick our candidates you know

what i’m just gonna be honest

and i know that this is sort of throwing

my vote away

and it’s not gonna make a difference but

i sort of gotta stand up for what i

believe in i am gonna vote for kanye

west

okay okay and it’s gonna be

it’s going to be a little bit off for me

as well um because i

i’m not really in favor of these of

either candidate

so like tariffs messing with tariffs at

all

to me is just a no no go you don’t want

to change them you don’t want to

mess with them either if they have a

position on it i’m against it so

you’re just anti-tariff discussion yeah

yeah if it comes up there’s a problem

so for me i am voting uh

actually on you know a different ticket

it’s not

the most common it’s the prohibition

party i really think this is gonna make

it and it’s gonna be a staying party

so for that um i am endorsing

uh formally i guess uh

clinton b fisk for president

old fisky yeah well and you know long

live

old fiskys what i say as our president

so

so i mean hopefully it comes down to

either kanye west or

old fisky yeah or clinton b fisk that’s

right

okay so i guess we’ll

um hopefully i haven’t really checked

the schedule for

when to vote or any of that but uh

i’m assuming that tomorrow would be a

good day to stop by

what’s the method to get rid of the

chore wheel because i feel like we did

it now

we we decided i think

dj dillon has to use the remove the

chore from the chore wheel

wheel right right right it’s a wheel

that spins so fast it it kind of

obliterates

the wheel yeah it obliterates the

specific chore that you

angle it against yeah and a lot of you

know

at a certain frequency it will

obliterate also

people’s hearing ability within the area

and that’s just part of the process

yep that’s part of the process so dj

dillon can you just go ahead and spend

the chore removing chore wheel removing

wheel i think was it

dj dylan go ahead and spin that wheel

of removing a chore from the chore wheel

wheel yes

okay yep i did lose some part of my

hearing there okay

um all right well i think that kind of

wraps things up right

all right thank you to our guest

sammy um you know i

okay i gotta go nap now yeah uh

and say hi to your mom for us hopefully

she can be on sometime

um you know and we’ll see you at your

birthday party

oh yeah you’re so excited i’m so glad

you guys are coming

yeah yeah um it’ll be me

and you and you and craig oh

yeah that sounds awesome okay uh well

and also thank you to

uh cameron our producer thank you to

digital in the house

yeah i want you work sometimes but then

well so i was watching her work the

other day and then i was saying mom

momma because i wanted her to look at

something cool i mean because she

doesn’t really pay a lot of attention to

me but it’s okay

but then she said i was being soul

sucking

and i don’t know what a soul is you guys

know what a soul is

sometimes i go to work with my mom but

then what happens is she goes into the

lab

and then what happens is i actually

don’t go into the lab and she actually

locks me in the car

[Music]

[Music]

uh my name is dr londonsmith.com and

this has been

the jock doc podcast see ya my mommy she

actually

locks me in the car

my mommy she actually locks me in the

car

[Music]

as you pull up to the opera house you

pause for a moment

wow look at you now it seems like just

yesterday

just this morning even you were a

disgusting

unhygienic fat lard who could barely

occasionally bother to clean your toes

with a scrub brush

but here you are today at the opera

house

a place where only fancy types with

elegant tastes

visit for entertainment and to think

your entertainment used to be

watching mold grow inside of your navel

but enough of your past life you step

out of the cab

taking in the sights of tuxedoed and

elaborately gowned humans milling about

some are giving you odd looks one fancy

lady in particular

pauses to look at you from head to toe

frowns then tosses you a shiny coin

wow this is definitely not like your old

life

as you walk forward towards the entrance

to the opera house a woman in your wake

gags you nod to a smiling gentleman on

your right

and as you pass him his smile turns

crooked and he vomits right there on the

pavement

people around you begin shedding words

like security and

difficult to breathe as a path has

suddenly cleared ahead of you

then some men in uniform marked security

step forward and ask you to follow them

please

wow a real escort huh

back toward the street as they hail a

cab it begins to dawn on you

that maybe the vehicle is meant to

transport you away

and that maybe you still bear the

markings of your past life

and maybe just maybe your attempt to fix

your life by visiting an idealized

pastime was not necessarily well thought

out

already

hello my name is damian ant and

i’m supposed to do a review of the

jockey dog box

it comes every day i didn’t have to

subscribe to it it just appears

it was filled completely with ants i

love ants and they like bring me

breakfast

and they clothe me i didn’t have this

suit jacket

until yesterday i didn’t buy it it just

appeared

with the box you can get one get one

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 would 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

subepidermal anti-transglutaminase iga

auto antibodies and daylight savings

so i will try to temper my terminology

to a simpler one in the future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron hi dr london

hey i want to ask you a question how are

you today and that’s not just a greeting

i want to know how are you the real you

yeah hi cam normally you you come in

with this whole

thing of like everything you’ve got

going on like you’d

i don’t know that time whenever you

built your own outhouse

and would not come out of it for a week

or

you know just all these little things

you get into

and yeah it is nice to be asked once in

a while how i’m doing

wow that’s so and how does that make you

feel

okay well so i didn’t i didn’t actually

answer like how i’m doing

or yeah so i guess do you want me do you

still want me to answer or

are we i mean does that remind you of

anything maybe in your childhood or

anything you want to elaborate on are

you uh

no so i i honestly i still haven’t even

gotten to talking about myself yet

but i should i or are we

i i can’t technically tell you what to

do i’m just here to

maybe ask some questions and to listen

okay i guess

anyway so that’s um thank you thank you

cameron for

contribution uh i am and how does that

make you

feel right now i guess

ignored a little bit a lot actually

yeah okay you agree did your parents

ignore you a lot growing up yeah some

but

um i don’t know how does that make you

feel uh

well right i think it helped me to be

the person i’ve become so if that’s uh i

think that that’s a

pretty positive thing and how does that

make you feel

dr london well okay think about it in

terms of your childhood

yeah i think we just go ahead and move

on from there i’m not sure that we’re

really

covering any new ground with that

patient

is irritable and

erratic all right okay uh

all right so that that was our producer

cameron also with us is digital in the

house

nope nope nope nope nope hey i want to

ask you a question

how are you how are you

that’s not just a greeting i want to

know how are you

[Music]

[Music]

does that remind you of anything maybe

in your childhood or

anything you want to elaborate on um

did your parents ignore you did your

parents ignore you

a lot growing up yes

and how does that make you feel

and later cameron tells me that we can

expect a special guest

is that something that you would enjoy

dr london

uh yeah as long as a special guest as

you know

someone is to really um you know be a

medical expert of some kind or bring in

some

you know research preferably like let’s

say we haven’t had a lot of

phds come in here so it’d be nice to

have something like that

um sony’s really going to bring some

insight that our listeners are

you know that’s what they’re come for

right so and does focusing on the guests

make you feel ignored okay i feel like

your questions are really

intentionally broad and just inserting

keywords

and how does that make you feel okay

before we move on i would like to

address a bit of listener feedback

so and this camera just for your

information

listener feedback makes me feel like i

am being listened to

so this is the response that we get

so does that remind you of anything from

your childhood

uh i get i think i’ll just read

or we’ll tell you about this first let’s

say in the present for the moment

so patient is confused

and tripping over his words

okay so previously

i mentioned that i had found an actual

physical mailbox where

fans had apparently just been leaving us

actual

real fan mail so this was a big change

from the usual methods of you know

sky writing and words written in blood

on the walls

but unfortunately when i went to check

that mailbox today

the neighborhood bully was holding it up

above his head

so i couldn’t reach it wow and that must

have really hurt you huh

well i’m well not not

this time he didn’t physically hurt me

the the bully but

but did it hurt you maybe in a

non-physical way how did that make you

feel

okay well i did do we have to talk about

the bully right now

you brought him up yeah this is dr

london this is your session

this is your hour you can talk about

anything that you want but it is

interesting that you brought it up

if i could i’m just going to focus on

the actions that took place

because my feelings in the moment

weren’t really the focus

for me yeah does that make you feel

ignored

no no it just makes me feel focused like

i said the word i used focused

you know interesting

okay so anyway um so as i said the bully

was holding up

this uh this mailbox above his head so i

couldn’t reach it

but one letter did fall out and i am

proud to say

that after the bully stuck it down the

back of his pants

and sort of smooshed it around a little

he did allow me to take it

so the note reads well hold on let me

just

it’s kind of kind of slimy here uh then

it reads quote

you still how does that make you feel

okay

but the note is slimy uh a little

disgusted

i guess and yet you committed to it

anyway

why is that well as i said the listener

feedback is

pretty important to me so that’s you

know i

i overcome these things because i want

to reach this goal of

reading it which i was trying to do okay

uh so now i’m going to present to you a

different scenario dr london

okay last week in our session you told

me about your

childhood trauma of having forest gump

leg braces

and um being unable to

play kickball like all the other kids

because you were just

waddling around with your forrest gump

braces

okay well you are you are changing the

story

or just for the listeners so i did have

the force gun braces but they were their

memorabilia item

and i would carry them in my arms around

they’re still very big and bulky because

they they’re in a sort of

preservation chamber uh

but yeah it really did affect my sports

and everything because i wouldn’t put it

down

you know like some kids won’t put down

their bottles or pacifiers

for me i had the force cup memorabilia

leg braces and you had bullies didn’t

you

so now dr london you talking about

bullies today and how

even though this note is slimy and

disgusting

you’re gonna commit to it because you’re

not gonna let the bullies beat you

i think that’s brave don’t you yeah and

yeah yeah i suppose i just you know

i i feel like you’re calling this a

session when really

that we just happened to have been

talking about something and i’m not

you know i didn’t i didn’t ask you to

take me on as a patient or anything and

i don’t see you as

qualified to do so and how does that

make

you feel uncomfortable

with with you in that in that role

anyway so interesting the note reads

quote

you still owe me 3.75 cents for that

parking meter i paid for when you took

me to the big city for my doctor

appointment end quote

first of all i would like to thank this

listener so much for their insightful

question here

on the jock talk podcast to to answer

the question though i

i feel like uh to this listener you may

have me

confused uh because so me the doctor i’m

the doctor

you may have me confused with your

driver but

perhaps you could consider forgiving

that debt considering the relatively low

cost

and the trouble the driver may have had

to go through to take you all the way to

the big city

so you think that this gentleman friend

of yours

uh isn’t isn’t worth the payment you owe

him is that

is that right dr london yes no so as i

said i don’t

i don’t think that that i that i owe

anyone this payment i think that

in this situation because it’s such a

low amount and

you just think that you should be able

to keep that that’s interesting no

no so i as i said i in that scenario

lacks empathy

thief that’s your that’s your diagnosis

it’s thief

these are just these are just free form

notes

okay well in any case um so to that

listener you

i feel like you may have just sent the

the letter to me instead of two

that you’re you’re driving also i hate

to bring this up because i know it’s

sort of awkward in a session like this

but um um your insurance did not work

last time

so if you can get with lisa on your way

out we can get that cleared up that

would be that would be fantastic

yeah once again i’m not i’m not your

patient but um anyway

so do this listener thank you for

listening yes

[Music]

now for today’s medical topic

borreliosis

berylliosis is an environmental lung

disease with both acute

and chronic forms both of which are

associated with exposure to

beryllium that’s breathed in as

beryllium at metal or alloys

which is classically associated with

working in the aerospace industry

uh along with you know ceramics computer

defense electronic

and metal recycling industries so

patience should be kind of reminds you

of someone home

maybe someone who also feels a little

exposed

uh exp i don’t i don’t know a lot of i

don’t think i know people

at least to my knowledge i don’t know

people who are specifically exposed to

beryllium on a regular basis

okay let’s let’s role play for a second

let’s pretend

that the role of beryllium yeah is

played

by dustin hoffman and let’s pretend that

the role of

feeling exposed is played

by tim taylor tim allen’s character on

home improvement okay all right so now

let’s imagine that thing happening

i’m sorry what was

[Laughter]

okay you’re just imagining it happening

in in the show

with tim it’s supposed to be a role play

exercise if you’re not going to take

these sessions seriously then they’re

not going to work which is fine you’re

the one paying for them and you

can do whatever you want whatever

happens in here i’m not but if you want

progress dr london then you have to

participate

go ahead go ahead with your alaska yeah

yeah uh

so um like i said uh

these it’s occupational exposures that

you’re you’re searching for with

berylliosis so

uh that can be the classic thing is

aerospace industry but

they can also be exposed with ceramics

computers

defense electronics and metal recycling

industries

so patients should be asked about those

occupational exposures

[Music]

an acute disease now do you do you say

patient should be asked about that

because deep down you wish

someone was asking you

that dr london no no because i

i don’t need to be asked that because i

already i don’t work in any of those

industries

so i can already dismiss it in my mind

because i’m not

that’s not a factor for me patient

is a fiber okay so so in acute disease

berylliosis

presents as a diffuse pneumonitis caused

by

massive exposure to beryllium in chronic

disease

berylliosis presents similarly to

sarcoidosis which

you know we’ve actually covered that on

the show before and this may include

non-caseinating

granulomas in the lungs uh skin lesions

and the presence of hypercalcemia

imaging may show

hylar adenopathy or reticular and

nodular lung opacities

uh beryllium lymphocytic proliferation

test is the initial diagnostic test of

choice for patients with clinical

or radiographic evidence of lung disease

and an occupational or environmental

history of beryllium exposure

i remember another little boy who was um

covered in skin lesions do you remember

who i’m talking about dr london someone

who maybe told me this in a previous

session

okay i i think that you’re talking about

yourself

right because you you talked a lot about

this

to me how you just and how does that

make you

feel i i mean as usual i’m

skeptical and concerned and confounded

because i don’t know how you got

those lesions uh especially like are you

usually so fearful of human touch

from from people with open lesions from

open wounds

yes yes i am so just touch it

no no it’s not like that’s

you still have that fear huh yeah but i

think it’s a healthy fear because

i don’t that’s an infected

you know pulsating i anyway so um

the the beryllium lymphocytic uh

proliferation test is the initial

diagnostic test of choice for patients

with clinical or

you know that exposure uh following such

a positive test the next test is usually

a fiber optic

bronchoscopy with lavage endobronchial

biopsy and trans-bronchial biopsy

however

diagnosis of chronic beryllium disease

requires all three findings of

a history of beryllium exposure a

positive beryllium lymphocytic

proliferation test

and one thing that i’ve noticed

sometimes about

doctors because you have you’re not my

only patient

who happens to be who happens to be in

the medical field

and one of the things that i’ve noticed

is that it seems to be

easier for you to diagnose

a patient with chronic beryllium

deficiency syndrome but are you willing

to maybe diagnose yourself with maybe

chronic

beryllium weakness in your heart well no

because i don’t have the exposure

that’s that’s sort of the basis because

you’re not willing to allow

yourself to expose yourself to people

might be a little deep it’s beryllium

that i’m

that i’m trying to avoid exposure to

because you’re unwilling to just open up

to people

expose your heart to beryllium yeah

no and i stay i stand by that kind of

makes you think huh dr london

yeah it well it makes me think oh good

idea because this is a

chronic lung disease so anyway so that

last point

uh the presence of non-casein and

granulomas and or mononuclear

cell infiltrates on long hair does that

make you feel ignored

this does yes i i feel like i’m very

you know i have one more sentence to go

before we’re done with this portion of

the lesson

and i really feel like if i can just

finish this then maybe we can move on

from

the therapy session you seem to but will

it be

just a single more sentence dr london

will there not be sentences after that

so is it really the sentence you’re

trying to finish or is it really

you uh

no it it’s just the scent it’s the the

you know the lesson plan that we’re

following is really

really what it is so so treatment for

berylliosis

acute or chronic is glucocorticoid

therapy

okay is that is that satisfactory to you

cameron

i i know judgments i i you know every

every session is a great session for me

as long as it’s great for you

that’s all i have to say

all i want is just a little growth in

each session

and just to remind you your insurance

you’ve got to fix the injury

because otherwise we’re okay

just talk to lucy on your way out okay

well uh

yeah let’s let’s go and move on from

there though

uh well cameron you said that we have a

guest today is that right

that’s right dr london and if i may add

i think that this might be one of the

best guests

we’ve ever had on this show okay so it’s

uh it’s a

i guess a practicing physic or a

research doctor a clinical scientist

uh i mean it’s he definitely has a car

he got here okay that’s

well i guess i guess uh well hello there

um my name is dr londonsmith.com

hello my name is damian ant well welcome

to the jock talk podcast

so what what brings you the show uh can

i call you damien

you can absolutely call me that well you

see a few

at this point months ago maybe longer i

got sent a box

filled with ants what do you know oh

yeah

okay this is you yes this is me

oh the ant guy the ant guy yeah

can you catch our listeners up on what

happened last time

well what happened last time was i got

sent a box

filled with ants i tamed the ants i

trained them and they brought me a suit

and now a top hat as well and they make

me food every day

yes okay so so cameron’s

what appeared to be a horrible attempt

at

you know a subscription box thing i

think it was

turned out to actually be helpful in the

end

it’s incredibly helpful you know

surprisingly you’re the only person i’ve

heard

feedback from this is this is incredible

this this really excites me

really that’s surprising and me and can

i call you mian

uh sure me and so i i mean i want to

tell like i want to hear how has your

life improved

since these ants came into your life

well my life is improved i’m now making

money

i used to not make money now i make

money

okay and out of what i honestly don’t

know

the ants just bring me money every day

okay so so you don’t make money so much

as

the ants gather money for you the ants

gather me my money and bring it back to

me well he’s still

making the money as the uh owner of this

operation dr london i mean

is you know the ceo of coca-cola does he

know every single can that gets sold no

of course not

he just cashes that fat check at the end

of the year

but he does sell something he he sells a

product

and then receives i’m sure the ants are

doing something legal

i get to be fair i don’t know how many

laws there are against

or or what protections are in place

against and

well i guess would be thievery probably

right

well i mean that’s just rude of you to

instantly assume

doctor i i’m so sorry to our guest i

i mean i’m i mean are your aunts i’m

sure they’re nice kind ants that

wouldn’t never rob anyone right

no of course not why would they ever do

that yeah they’re nice

ants i mean are these like do they have

individual personalities do you get

along with them

yes i know all of them there’s jeremy

james charles henry

ellie jessica

patricia now i want to ask about

patricia

really quickly patricia she’s

annoying i’ll put that uh out of

everyone she does the most work though

so

i can’t get rid of her oh yeah so it

kind of balances itself out i mean this

is interesting dr london are you not

interested in this

yeah like it’s there it is fascinating

to hear that someone

finds a way to communicate with and then

command control

uh an apparent army events like this the

room is covered right now

and like i the

i’m glad that you’re commanding them to

at least keep space

a little space around the lights so that

we can see each other

but otherwise the the ants are just

covering everything right now oh yes

they do that yeah uh so so that there

are

ants everywhere and i love all of them i

know all of their names do you want to

know more ant names

yeah a few there’s andrew aaron uh-huh

nathan uh-huh uh-huh did i already say

jeremy i think i already said

jeremy let’s see who will where else are

they

uh do jeremy and nathan get along they

get along great i think they’re siblings

i’m like

90 sure confident that they’re siblings

oh yeah some people you can just kind of

tell you know yeah and you’re you’ve

known him for this long so be awkward to

ask

it would it would it really would now it

sort of sounds like that while these

ants are like around you and follow you

do you control the ants or not because

you you know

one you just let them do their own thing

and just come back with money

so it doesn’t sound like you’re

controlling them and then right now when

we’re talking about how there’s ants

everywhere your response was sort of

just like yeah there sure are ants

everywhere

yeah well you see i can speak to them

telepathically

oh really huh i can only speak to ants

telepathically i’ve tried grasshoppers

they don’t work grasshoppers are jerks

are you sure they’re jerks or that

they just can’t communicate with you

yeah i feel like that’s rude to

assume if you can’t talk to them that

they must be a jerk

you see they eat my ants therefore they

are jerks

yes i don’t need to communicate to them

yeah i guess like if i imagine let’s

assume that someone was eating london

what would you do oh don’t he’s he has

tried to make this happen before

and and like had so many cameras ready

uh we because i was trying to put it

i was i mean i was live streaming it was

like a twitch thing

yeah like i’m just glad that it was

well it was sort of an attempt at a

robot thing that he made

uh but it was an animatronic what

yeah it was more of a bucket i had i

had no i had built i had built a machine

whose purpose was to convert human

matter

into energy by consuming it now i only

got

as far as putting a bucket on top of

like a second bucket

but that does not mean that that’s what

it was

do you you understand what i’m talking

about i completely understand i’ve tried

making machines before and it just

doesn’t work i can’t just put a bucket

on a bucket and it doesn’t it

will work my what i’m working on will

work eventually i just haven’t

reached that point yet but

yes i’ve tried to create something that

would eat dr

london and my feelings on it were

like i think hungry i think i think

seeing someone else eat him made me

hungry and so i think i like ordered

i think he wants to get some sandwich to

clarify

someone else eating me what he’s

describing is making him hungry was

me walking in the door and a bucket

falling on my head

there’s a bucket on a bucket yeah yeah

i’m sorry two buckets together

falling on my head and then i jus i took

it off real quick and then he was like i

i gotta go get some food and so he went

at the door as i was coming in

and i should clarify this isn’t a bucket

like inside of another bucket this is a

bucket

and a bucket like like a bucket sitting

upwards and then a bucket upside down

and then you can sort of clamp them

together to be done

yes you know what i mean

and so that that made me hungry

and isn’t that sort of the scientific

experiment

yes i guess now my question is

you brought all these ants here they

seem to be kind of at your command

almost in a way that seems threatening

what

why did you come here with uh was it

just to thank cameron for

the gift of your new life well yes

and since i have so much more free time

because the ants make me things and

bring me things

i’ve been developing a game oh

like monopoly or hungry hungry hippos

i call it caverns and queens

caverns and queens i’m really

what is the what is the ant portion of

this did they help you create this game

well yes in the form of giving me time

to make it yes

oh so sort of indirectly they did i i’m

excited for this

oh no are me and are me and dr london

like on the same team here

youtube will be playing okay

okay and i am the describer the one who

describes the scenarios

oh in this you can do whatever you want

assuming the dice allow it

[Music]

it sounds a lot like this is a game

where you don’t have to try to make it a

game because it’s mostly we do whatever

we want

then you just do whatever you want and

react to the situations that i put you

in

yeah this sounds like every day okay

okay so

it’s like living life okay well no cause

this is this

is you know he presents a scenario and

then we think about it and then we

do an action based on our thoughts in

real life

we don’t stop and think about what we’re

doing we’re just going full speed no

matter what

in whatever direction is forward

i i feel like that’s right a little more

you cameron

i try to be thoughtful and deliberate

with with a lot of what i do

i get i see where you’re getting

confused dr london because you’re

thinking of like video games or things

like that where you can sort of think it

through

whereas this is like real life like i

just go to work

and i’m i just i just go and i’m just

sort of flailing my arms about

and i’m just like on on forward motion

and then i fall asleep at night and i

have no idea what happened all day

and i feel like that’s the human

experience yes

which is in contrast to to this game

exactly now now you’re finally getting

it

let’s get into it yeah let’s try it two

of you suddenly find yourselves

in a tavern okay

you see people around you

oh god why do i keep ordering these oh

man

well i guess okay lots of people around

actually can i

can i roll if i should get another round

of drinks

you can do that if you want okay yeah

i’m gonna roll

all right you rolled a 14 what do you

think

what would on a 14 you think you want i

mean i guess that would be a seven and

seven right

just the math works out yeah

all right so i’m going to go ahead and

drink that so karen you’ve you’ve had

another drink

uh-huh uh can we say so we’re finding

our purpose i guess here so

should i basically ask around

for the if there’s

some some mission that someone wants

done

well you do see a person in the corner

with a hood

they’re just holding the hood they don’t

have it on okay i was gonna say i don’t

want to bother them

but uh if they if they’re just holding

it

maybe i’ll walk up and this is just like

the hood of a hoodie

is this one of those so you know like on

a jacket sometimes you can like

they’ll have like a zip off hood it’s

just the hood of one of those

yes it’s one of those okay so i want to

look around the room

for the other part of the jacket all

right i’ll have you roll

a persuasion check

you don’t see it anywhere surprisingly

dang it i was hoping we could find the

jacket and like win this guy over

can i make the same attempt you can make

the same attempt

you see it he’s wearing the other part

of it okay okay

so i guess okay so i would like to walk

over to him

and say yeah and let him know

that his hood is missing and he should

he should reattach it

this hood in my hands

i see it it allows me to control

ants i do not want the ability

uh can can i have the hood yes

he hands you over the hood he’s just

holding it yes

an outstretched arm waiting can i

can i put the hood on or do i have to

hold it like it always has to take up a

hand

you must wear the hood

okay okay so i can wear it okay so i’m

gonna put the hood on

as you put the hood on nothing happens

cameron you look ridiculous you should

you need to get the jacket that goes

with it

oh okay so let me ask the the main the

formerly

hooded man uh if i can have his jacket

as well

very well you will roll the man

looks at you looks the hood wearing it

looks at the hood you are wearing

he starts to take his jacket off and

hands it to london that’s fair

yeah okay so i have the jacket now i

guess

we’ll just cameron we’ll just switch out

every once in a while who gets to wear

because i mean the logical thing would

be i would give you

the hood but then that makes me wonder

if i miss out on the fun so why don’t i

give you the hood and then you give me

the jacket

yeah yeah that’s right okay let’s do

that you swap your items

you put them on and nothing happens okay

well

every day can i roll to see if i’m able

to button the jacket or if it’s too

small for me

very well you it does not have buttons

you can zip up the jacket though okay

so it okay so it’s not too small great

great

it is a really good fit i zip up my

jacket

excellent excellent excellent i’ll i’ll

uh write that down

okay i guess next okay so we should

probably get drinks right

well that now what i’m thinking is if

there’s a girl here

and i don’t want to like that should

that’s my preference i don’t know what

you

but like i don’t know maybe we could

impress someone

with the newly acquired clothing

and maybe get a phone number okay

so let’s uh let’s let’s scan the room

for babes can we do that

you can indeed scan the room for babes

you find some babes

kevin you got a better eye for babes

than you do for jackets

should we switch no i just whenever you

looked for a jacket before you couldn’t

find it

then whenever i looked for a jacket it

was easy oh i thought you were calling

the jacket

ugly and that’s why you and that’s why

you were so eager to switch

well it’s hey let’s let’s go to these

babes though right

well no i mean does it i mean it zips up

so it’s not too small

walk over to the babes you walk over to

the collective group of babes

okay and and how many are there

there are four babes

okay well so now i’m gonna uh

lose um some of my uh initiative here

and turn around because i’m pretty

intimidated now

i challenge the babes to what

a fight very well then i will

then it’s time to roll initiative okay

you have you were going first

okay i destroy all four babes

very well how do you want to destroy the

babes

uh jacket oh yeah my jacket

i suffocate them with my jacket

interesting as you suffocate them with a

jacket

they turn into ants oh

is that good or bad i don’t know wait

let me try to con

i try to control the ants we need to

both at the same time

try to control the ants i don’t know if

i want to though

but that was the entire point of getting

the guys

okay okay okay okay okay so i

london and i both try to control the

ants

very well london since you have the hood

you are able to control the ants

okay uh so when you look at them you

start hearing their tiny ant voices

what just happened to us where are we

why are we like this

how do we get turned to ants i answer

each of them

specifically individually and say

you know hey sorry what’s up uh

i don’t know what this guy’s doing i

don’t know him

but uh how are you today

well we were good now we’re ants

cool cool i introduced uh

to the ant that was questioning where he

came from

yes that ant is now a devout follower of

the lord and savior jesus christ great

okay perfect

can i um make all the ants turn back

into

uh babes again once ants they are

forever ants

okay well wow okay that’s there’s a bit

of an

ethical dilemma there okay uh so

i want to once apologize to the ants now

that i know what i’ve done

and asked them to join me on my journey

oh are we going somewhere uh probably

fans have nothing better to do they join

you on your journey

yeah but once again nothing weird

nothing weird it’s you know

uh okay you now have four aunt babes

okay oh so it’s four ants total uh are

the ants

normal ant size the ants are ant sized

okay

i try to ride out on one of the ants

anyway even though you just told me that

they’re not giant

very well as you attempt

to ride out on an ant it grows in size

and you are able to ride the ants oh wow

that actually worked out perfectly i was

kind of see this

is this is usually how i operate in life

dr

london i don’t sit back and think like

is this going to cause me to

squish the ant or anything like that i

just kind of do i just kind of open my

mouth and things come out and then

things

happen usually to my benefits yeah but

usually

like you know you turn like to your

benefits sure but then also like

four strangers women who

you know were just at a bar probably

looking for a good time around a tavern

uh they get turned into a

species of you know a different creature

that you know an ant

i whip the ant so it goes faster the ant

immediately doubles at speed

you are going at a lightning pace

out of the tavern i guess we need to

figure out like a direction dr london

can you

can you ask a question to help us figure

out like what we’re doing

yeah well i don’t i don’t think the ants

will know but maybe i’ll

oh i will also get on one of the ants

and then i will ask the room uh

like have ye a quest for me we have ye

quest for guy

well the whole room said that in unison

they all have a separate quest for you

okay uh okay so i’ll just

let’s see and i hate to do it

through this method again but uh

any any babes specifically asking

roll for babe check yes you find

no babes that’s that wasn’t going to

happen okay then

um could i check for just the ugliest

person there

or ugly purse you find the ugliest

person you’ve ever seen

yeah that’s my luck okay um so i asked

ask the ugly one um what what is their

quest

i have a quest for you i require you

to go to the edge of town

and your journey would begin there okay

thanks uh and you so the quest

so the quest part is just going to town

and then

after that is the journey right the

quest begins at the edge of town

the quest part is from the tavern to the

town

and then the journey began yes

okay yes okay so

so i’m i’m hopping on this yeah i’m

still still riding this ant so i’m gonna

say you know

um i’m gonna recommend

a good skin cream to this um

uh this ugly person and

um i get can i can i roll for how they

receive the recommendation yes

i will go buy this skin queen you speak

of

great great you know with that he leaves

the tavern

great okay so anyway we can go let’s go

to town

okay i ride directly behind

london to reduce wind resistance

so my my aunt is less tired than uh

london’s

our two spare ants are riding on the

back

of my aunt yeah weighing you down all

right so we

we at the edge of town then or to at

town

yeah you get to the edge of town and you

see this edgy looking person

walking in okay so i i hail the stranger

and say you know what up bro awesome

brother what’s going on with you

uh not much homes

uh so we were told to go here for

quest do you know no no no no

sorry sorry sorry my colleague is

confused london the quest

was getting here now it’s the journey

yeah the journey yeah i know all about

the journey

okay we make some good music yeah

um yeah so could you tell us about

uh so i guess it’s a musical uh

endeavor that we’re about to go on ah

nah man

i’m not gonna go see the journey no no

no

what you gonna do is i see you already

started it by getting those

ants i need you to accumulate

an army of ants so we can burn this town

this town’s anti-ant i ain’t about that

we gonna burn this town

okay so well i g i guess let’s

start by beating the crap out of this

guy and turning him into an air right

yeah that i think i feel a lot more

morally okay with

with you throwing your jacket on him

yeah okay so well we gotta i challenge

the

uh the sketchy edgy guy

very well i’m going to roll he goes

first

oh no he pulls out a gun oh no

my the ant that i’m writing jumps

uh jumps to try to stop the gun

the gun is stopped it’s on the ground

yes

cameron it’s your turn okay i wanna

i i think we need i need to get into

like a defensive position

so i used london and his ant as a human

and ant

shield okay then i use my

hood to um force cameron’s ants to bring

all of us

into a an offensive position going

forward

into this edgy guy it’s now the edgy

guy’s turn he pulls out two more guns

i unzip part of my jacket because it is

a little tight

either you give me that army of ants or

i shoot both of you right now

okay well i mean so just to clarify mr

edgy man

uh this is for ants this i wouldn’t

think of this as an army

no i need you to get me more ants okay

that’s why we’re trying to turn you into

an animal no i need to live through this

you’re saying that this isn’t living

well no the ants are still alive with

just their ants i need to be a person

through this

oh that’s that’s pretty mean to the ants

um i don’t think yeah

that like one life is better than

another i guess that’s just interesting

i don’t know i didn’t think you’d use

that kind of guy i guess

i command no no no i don’t care how you

get the ants you can go to normal ant

hills and get ants from them

or you can turn people into ants it’s

really your choice i was just saying

like if you actually wanted to commit to

this cause as opposed to just being all

talk then you would turn yourself into

an ant

yes would you like to roll persuasion

yeah i’d like to roll to see if i can

convince the guy that he turns himself

into an ant

you know what he he drops the gun he

takes off his jackets which is filled

with more guns

he drops it all right turn me into that

ant baby

camera and a five me don’t give them the

sense of action

uh hmm let’s anify them

we antify them okay you antify

the edgy man you now have an edgy ant on

your side

along with on the ground a jacket full

of guns

i put on the jacket because i don’t have

a jacket on and it is chilly

you now have the gun jacket i

toss all the guns out because they’re

all cold okay i pick up

all the guns obviously

well as you toss the guns out of the

jacket they disappear

oh worth it london we could have used

those to threaten

the town’s people into becoming you just

keep tossing out guns

it’s not possible there can’t be this

many guns

okay okay so it looks like we have a

problem of a never-ending gun

depository repository so um

cameron i think maybe we shouldn’t be

doing what this guy

said by killing the town that’s actually

where where i had a problem

you think we should switch the hood in

the jacket

no i think we should like maybe find a

different quest

because killing an entire town of

burning it to the ground doesn’t sound

you know moral or ethical or even lawful

to me

i challenge dr london

okay very well we roll initiative

london you are first okay well i have

the hood on

so i used the hood and the gun jacket

i use all the ants to strip away

uh cameron’s jacket and pin him down

the ants do not successfully tear away

the jacket

or pin him down i feel good about what i

did

i i swipe london’s gun jacket is that is

that an option

that is an option i’m going to roll

attending strength checks again

you do not successfully swipe the jacket

oh

i take a gun out and throw to the ground

again symbolically saying how i don’t

you know condone violence you throw the

gun to the ground it disappears

but the message is conveyed cameron

what’s your response that was your

entire move well i like i can’t take it

back at this point

now i know i’m regretting it a little

bit cameron it’s your turn

yeah i’m just gonna bash london on the

head with like a hit like a big

hammer the big hammer

yeah all right you’re gonna roll the hit

you miss with your big hammer it’s very

unwieldy

and almost makes me wanna prove a point

again

uh but instead i’m going to

use my hood to summon one of the ants

and

ride it away at the same time if i can

i’m going to use the hood to stop

cameron from riding in one of the ants

grows into size the other ants

hop on and you get on the ant that is

your turn

um i i brand london a coward and

convince all the townspeople to call him

that

you successfully convinced the entire

town that your friend

is a coward i mean i think that’s the

end of my journey right

that was that was all i was trying to do

finally talk some sense into these

people

let’s see i i take my jacket and

i i find that so

this town doesn’t have like a chief or a

mayor

or something like that there is no law

in this town

it is only anarchy while london’s doing

this can i kick up my

kick up my feet and relax and have like

maybe a margarita

sort of as a celebration that my journey

of branding london a coward is done

yes easy enough to do the margarita is

delicious

okay so i take out some guns and i shoot

in the air

uh 20 times however

and i say i am the king now i’m going to

roll you an intimidation check

the people believe you to be their king

yes

i remind the people that he’s the coward

from just a few minutes

just five minutes ago yeah but he has a

gun why would a cow would have a gun

that is very true the bravest people do

have guns

now to i think to finish up my part of

the quest

i saved the town by for one thing not

burning it up but then

also by um commanding the townspeople to

dress cameron in a jester’s costume and

put him in the uh the jail

the people do not do that okay okay okay

okay i

i thought too much myself um they’re

calling you the coward king

king of cowards what just because i

won’t shoot them

the people begin screaming anarchy and

burn everything to the ground

ah you know maybe maybe that

that guy was right

the the ants that we have now um maybe

there was a reason why he wanted to burn

this town down

the human consumption robot that i built

tries to eat dr london the unit is

chasing dr london with hungry intent

that doesn’t sound familiar okay so it

can chase me that’s new

uh i take out guns and start shooting at

it

you begin shooting at it it seems to be

immune to the bullets the technology is

too advanced

then i take my jacket off

and hand it to the robot

and declare him king the people

begin to declare the robot king

the great mighty robot king what will he

ever do

he’s still chasing you though oh okay

that’s that’s not that helpful okay well

then i i hop on to

and now he has guns and it sounds like

an entire

country behind him yeah okay so i

i hop on to one of the ants and right

away

you begin leaving at a lightning pace

people are still yelling at you about

being a coward and the robot is shooting

at you

unfortunately for him you leave its

[Applause]

area of anger aggression

territory what have you

and then if i could just get another if

i get a strawberry margarita

with salt a babe brings you a margarita

with salt

i mean this really could not have turned

out better honestly this is

i mean this is just sort of how i see my

real life honestly

yeah i wish i hadn’t left town so i

could at least you know partake even in

the visuals of it but i am gone now

oh i mean you wouldn’t it’s not like

you’d be hanging up with us dr london

you’re the coward king

like howard king king of cowards

yeah okay well i guess i think my part’s

done

i we we did the the quest

the journey was completed um

and a king has been put in place that

it sounds like his reign could actually

last forever because he is

a robot so i guess we did it

congratulations quest completed

game over you win wow that was

damn man can i call you damn man sure

damn me and that was i mean that was

incredible this

everything that happened today all this

amazing this amazing journey that london

and i can

win on you can have it in your home

today

just for three easy payments every

single month of 29.99

when you order ant box wow

you know before we finish here uh i just

remembered we have chores to do

we have this thing we basically for the

podcast we put this off for a long time

we have all these chores that are piled

up

and so we compiled them into uh spokes

on a wheel

so we have this chore wheel that we spin

and then we find out what the chore is

for the day

damian can you can you use your ants to

go ahead and spin the chore wheel for us

sure

[Music]

all right and okay no i didn’t i didn’t

want to have to do this one

i wish we’d had it last week um

no we can we can we can do it this week

okay uh so we have to do it that’s the

problem

yeah i told you to not put seasonal

yeah yeah chores on the wheel i knew we

were gonna run into this issue okay

yeah okay so so we have um our it says

halloween costumes

so uh yeah so i guess um

and it says specifically on the card

describe your creative halloween costume

that you’re wearing right now

yeah which like had we done this

at the proper time nevermind we could we

can still work with it we can still work

with it okay

so this just seems like bad planning

i’ll be honest it’s

asking dr london to plan anything is

like asking me to plan anything

it ain’t gonna happen nope well i mean i

you know i’m i’m wearing my costume

today

i’m wearing um um you know i’ve got i’ve

got

jeans so i’m sort of like a denim

um like a denim ghoul like a denim

ghoul is that i mean dr london is this

is this is this it is this the chore

yeah i think i mean who commissioned

this chore

yeah so this was uh this is the local uh

parks and rec

center and they were really emphatic

that we needed to do this

and that people could be harmed if we

didn’t so like i

like i’d like to play it funny but we

have to be

very serious about this okay well i’m

the denim monster um

i eat all f all other forms

uh i eat chinos and i eat khakis

because they you know they’re not denim

so they’re they’re different

uh i mean dr london i i i you know i um

um you know i

i have zippers for my eyes

and i actually is this i mean this is

scary to anyone is anyone going to give

me like candy for this

i’m very afraid right now i mean i think

i did it

okay um okay uh

let’s see damian would you like to go

next uh just you know share a little bit

about what you’re

well i am i i am the ant

king i have a top hat

uh my face is apparently an ant

and i have a suit jacket on yeah he he

was already kind of dressed to the knot

yes

i admit that he’s the only one who’s

really ready for this okay

okay but no i’m i’m ready to i’m ready

to

um so oh dr london your costume is so

scary what

what is it yeah so as you can see i’m

wearing

um these these kind of uh ankle length

black socks with these sock guarders

holding them up

and that’s yes terrifying yeah and

that’s so that’s part of it

um and i’m wearing uh

these cut off shorts uh that are

um uh well they’re they’re they used to

be scrubs but then i got into an

accident

so but but that’s intentional and so

that’s what the guards are attached to

that’s interesting i want to hear a

little bit more about this accident does

it remind you of anything from your

childhood

yeah i would like to know too about this

accident okay

okay so so you know how sometimes

you’re walking up an escalator is the

escalator going downwards and you’re

walking the other way uh yeah well

you’re standing on the ice

later and waiting for it to go up or are

you walking up the escalator as it goes

up

increasing your speed okay no it was

opposite direction so i was walking up

while it was going down but like

because it you can kind of have a moment

of stasis if you do like i don’t know

to me it’s pretty fun um so i was doing

that for a few hours the other day

uh and then and all these people were

kind of pushing by

trying to get by and then finally how

did that make you feel did that make you

feel ignored

the pushing by me no it seemed a little

bit rude though

for them anyway someone pushed me over

and i fell down a little bit on the

escalator and then my

scrubs got caught in the the part where

the escalator

uh goes back inside and

um i i tried to play it really cool

and say so so i yelled out about how

normal it was

and then basically

most of the the scrub pants were sucked

down and then i was left with

just the boxers with tweety bird

driving a nascar right that’s right

anyway so so i was down to just the the

torn up

tweety bird boxers showing all and

that’s why you are the way you are

huh yes it’s certainly this whole this

part of it

this whole thing the yeah well it’s

the takitaki part yeah so

so in any case so i got back to um back

to my costume here

uh so i have the socks and the garters

attached to the

cut-off scrubs and as you can see i’m

wearing

uh okay on this

very extremely related accident i am

wearing a crop top

uh and uh

and suspenders too because

the sock guarders would pull the the

scrubs cutoffs

you know down so i have to have

suspenders to pull them up

and what is this costume yeah what’s the

costume

so what what what what what does it make

it uh you’re like

[Music]

are you like a judge yes yes that’s as

i almost said sexy doctor for a second

but yeah yeah judge judge is the one

that i am

um judge jury and executioner

yeah and that’s what that’s what anyone

wearing uh

sock garters uh that’s what they’ll say

about them

um and you like having that kind of

power don’t you dr london

talk about that see i do have one

other question why were you wearing

scrubs in a mall

oh well it’s uh like it’s just

after you go to work and you don’t have

much time you have to go to the mall

and you know have your you know whatever

shopping time

and you just kind of going all the way

home to change out of your scrubs

is sometimes a bother so which is

interesting because you said in a

previous session of ours dr london that

you wear your scrubs out and about

because you’re jealous of all the army

guys who wear their stuff out and about

and people keep saying thank you for

your service

wow okay well so i have multiple reasons

for it but

yeah i do like how people will salute me

and

well like i feel like people you know

put kick me signs on my back uh

because that’s that’s been new since i

met you

and how does that make you feel you

don’t feel ignored

right in pain um

this is so interesting because earlier

in our session you talked about

how painful it was to be ignored but now

when you’re the focus when you’re not

being ignored

that also brings pain dr london it

sounds like your fear is fear of people

uh phobic and hopefully you’re able to

get over that fear of people when you

talk to lucy on your way out about

getting your

insurance fixed so that way we can

charge you properly

i feel like we got kind of all these

chores done for today or this chore done

for the day

um maybe it’s about time to uh how do we

close this one up i believe dj dillon

plays us

a we definitely did that chore sound

all doom i definitely did that chore

dance as well

oh nice moves

okay all right all right well that’s

done i feel like we we went through our

whole

journey of uh caverns and queens

um don’t really feel like we touched

much on

uh the band queen but maybe that maybe

we’ll do that next time

thank you to uh damian ant for being on

it was a pleasure

yeah and uh is there a way for you know

listeners to follow you or find you

outside of you know this podcast as of

now

not yet if the ants are kind of out and

about and and

let’s be honest it sounds like they’re

pickpocketing people it sounds like if

they need to reach you they can just

sort of leave a message in their wallet

for the ants is that is that about right

i mean i don’t know how they ain’t get

the money but if if that is what they’re

doing then yes all right so fans if you

could just leave

messages for our guest damien ant uh

just in your pocket and then the ants

will just come by and take it for you

and i mean i think that should save you

on postage as well

all right uh well so once again thank

you to

damien and uh for being on the show for

for guiding us through that journey

uh and and also the quest thank you to

our producer cameron

thank you to doing the hoes

[Music]

hello my name is damian since i have so

much more free time

because the ants make me things bring me

things

i’ve been developing a game a game

[Music]

the one who describes the scenarios

[Music]

my name is dr londonsmith.com and this

has been

the jock talk podcast see ya

[Music]

you tumble out of the barrel as it is

tipped over and the red liquid spills

out

well there goes that plan the silhouette

above you presumably belongs to the

barrel tipper

and you try to hold back the case of the

grumps that threatens to overwhelm your

consciousness

yes you ask hoping that this is just a

misunderstanding driven by curiosity

what were you doing in my wand barrel

ask the silhouette ah so that is the

issue

you reassure them with an honest answer

oh don’t worry

i didn’t drink any of the wine i believe

it was actually your pushing that barrel

over that caused any

any shortage issues but i’m okay so you

don’t have to fuss over me

you begin to gather yourself up assured

in the knowledge that you wouldn’t have

to explain yourself further

but then the silhouette’s boot pushes on

your chest forcing you to sit once again

why were you in my barrel of wine the

silhouette asks

oh sorry for the confusion i had to dye

my shirt

a red wine color and i didn’t have that

color

you and the silhouette both look at your

stained shirt and trousers

and though the silhouette projects a

befuddled vibe

you roll over to the side and sprint

away reveling

in your newly colored attire

speaking of reasons to revel don’t

forget to leave a 5 star review of the

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 would 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 antiarrhythmic toxicity and

spooky so i’ll try to temper my

terminology to a simpler one in the

future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron hey dr london dr london real

whole hold on okay

just can you can you just take a pause

just uh you know talk about

listeners i’m gonna i’m gonna go let me

go

back to the the i.t closet okay talk

about my day

okay yeah go ahead all right all right

yeah okay so i woke up

and so this morning was actually kind of

weird because

like normally i’ll have uh

like well it’s you know it’s the weekend

so

normally i’ll like wake up and just kind

of stretch a little bit

but today there was this knocking at the

scraping at the door

so i went i’m sorry cameron cameron are

you doing all right

this wire

goes in here

and this wire

goes right here

and this if we do if we put this wire

here then we can just put

this wire and if we do this wire

here

so if we do and then we plug this wire

hey dr london how’s the how’s the

connection are you getting the video

i i’m not getting the okay i don’t think

i need the video

i’m not it’s really it’s just buffering

we if we plug in the

this port to this other one

again okay it’s just and

off and

on all right all right i’m coming back

coming out of the i.t

closet all right i think it’s

good all right now watch this video

see okay well you said it was a cat

meeting at

some the ground the cat

met the ground oh yeah

it was like just like thrown down by

that dude and you thought that

that i would just that i would just be

cracking up at that

i thought you would have to see it like

the second i saw it you wouldn’t need to

see it

oh we can move on it’s animal cruelty is

what that looks like

we’ve got to do something about that it

closet though yeah yeah well and

the wolf i don’t mind most of the things

in there the wolf is causing a lot of

issues i think that’s what’s causing

most of the

internet issues oh okay because i was

just

you know while you were gone i was

sharing a little bit about there was

something

scratching at my door this morning

i didn’t know there was a wolf

prowling i had no idea that there was a

wolf around

the i.t closet is for like sort of nerdy

types

and what’s the nerdiest of all animals

like which which animal are you going to

find which animal are you going to find

in the library late at night being like

oh does what does blue and yellow make

green doing my calculations to find out

it’s probably a wolf right yes so he’s

probably back there

tinkering with wires and ethernet cords

and lan

mines and wi-fi so you think that

and wolves are the nerdiest of animals

because i would have felt like

besides owls islands i can see more

they’re portrayed that anyway we have a

wolf in the i.t

closet yeah i mean it’s just creepy back

there that’s all which is perfectly

fitting

uh for today because what is what is

this week dr london

uh yeah so this week um i guess there’s

uh so i’ve i’ve rounds to do at the

hospital uh

what else did i have going on um the

weather’s been

like it’s it’s been colder

uh yeah so

i mean honestly but everything that i

had going on has kind of been cancelled

like but what is what is what what is

this saturday

it’s the last day of october what does

that usually mean

oh november’s coming that means we have

thanksgiving on the way

oh my gosh you are so lame dr london

it’s halloween

yes

[Music]

oh okay that’s right dr london it’s

halloween

[Music]

all right yeah i guess i guess it is

um so that’s not really what are you

going as dr london are you i assume you

dress up while you’re doing your rounds

right

uh no no normally

like it’s it’s kind of run in the middle

so i dress up as a doctor

i guess you could say that ah so sort of

like a

like a meta or method

style of of halloweening i like it it’s

very edgy it’s very raw

well it’s sort of the standard

method of dress like people dress in

different ways as doctors but like

that’s

you know like i wear a lab coat you know

yeah whatever anyway i’m actually

wearing my costume

today can you and you look at what i’m

wearing

oh oh okay

yeah notice the the red beanie that i’m

wearing

yeah but it’s filled like it’s

out of the beanies is that

okay i i don’t know what animal is just

a growth in my head the

that’s irrelevant but the hat the hat is

important

okay yeah and then notice i’m wearing

i’m noticing i’m wearing a tan suit

right the beanie with the tan suit yeah

who so who am i obviously i’ll go ahead

and guess

um you’re uh you’re you’re a little

obvious should be obvious a lawyer

no i’m i’m i’m specific

i’m more specific than that and i’m not

a lawyer the

okay from breaking bad that one better

call saul you better call saul

no no he’s always wearing a beanie

dr london i’m bajaq

kustein obama

i am the combination of jacques cousteau

and barack

hussein obama wow red beanie right

tan suit remember yeah so do you

do you always dress as combinations

of costumes oh i mean usually yeah

yeah but this is the first time that

it’s actually the names have sort of

been mashed together okay

so that’s like one year i was

brittany murphy combined with napoleon

like the historical figure

yeah napoleon dynamite yeah yeah no one

understood that at all

but this one whereas this one i think is

clear i think it’s a great conversation

starter

i’m gonna be all the different parties

that i’m gonna be at people are gonna be

just laughing so hard at it and i’m just

really really excited to take this out

on the town

come on you gotta go with me let’s let’s

dress you up real quick what are you

gonna wear

uh what am i gonna wear uh

well so so i was gonna stay in i thought

for halloween

i don’t know if that’s because you know

it’s not really safe

to go door-to-door no no no no dr london

we’re going out and we’re going

out we’re going into other people’s

houses to steal

candy from their pantries that’s how

we’re going

this is gonna be the wildest

trick-or-treating you’ve ever done dr

london

let’s move on i’m gonna figure out your

costume throughout

during this episode before this episode

is over i’m gonna have a costume

okay you can try to i get strong on that

okay

that was our producer cameron also with

us

is digital in the house

dj dylan in the house

jock music

[Music]

jock boys for life

it’s the [ __ ] jock doc podcast

[Music]

yes

[Music]

it’s the [ __ ] podcast

brand new dj dylan in the house

[Music]

[Music]

later we’d expect a special guest that’s

right dr london

i would say one of the most special

guests we’ve ever had

on this show ever see i feel like you’ve

said that

a few times before but i guess this is

now

at up to this point now the most special

yeah i mean back then i couldn’t have

seen the future

i’m not i’m not psychic okay i know

i know it’s like halloween right now so

there’s sort of a supernatural bent to

the air

but that doesn’t mean that i can read

minds

or know who is a more special guest

than someone else now is next week’s

guest more special than our current

guest

absolutely okay and is the guest

after that even more special than that

guest 100

yes at least in that part of the

timeline because

yeah what’s more special because we just

keep getting better yeah if you’re not

getting better

you’re moving backwards yes okay i

learned that from

from book i i assume joe rogan i don’t i

have no idea

okay well um before we move on the only

thing that i

that usually enters my brain as stuff

joe rogan sort of coughs out

well yeah cause he doesn’t speak it’s

just more like

a blob of thoughts are forming in here

and he just

sort of vomits them out and then i

absorb them into my body which is

science

and it’s it is strange to see the effect

he has on you

yeah but in any case um before we move

on i would like to address a bit of

listener feedback

so um i found out last week that we

actually have hey you stole that joke

that’s me that’s like me trying to be

like my hero joe rogan in that

video shaming carlos mencia 15 years ago

oh you stole that joke okay so a

good impression yeah you should try out

for snl

no it’s who i am now i

i’ll just go ahead just keep going so i

found out last week that we actually

have a real

physical mailbox where listeners have

been leaving questions

via fan mail um so

are you sure it’s a mailbox oh like

there’s no doubt so uh there was a dog

sleeping in it like it was kind of a it

was like a miniature

i guess barn shaped thing in the back of

uh

my neighbor’s yard and there was a dog

but like once i

shooed the dog away i found all this

mail for us

yeah i mean that’s a mailbox yeah yeah

and there was like there was food around

that yeah it was

dog food really nearby so all that was a

little bit weird but once i

cleaned it out the dog it was fine

so anyway uh so i picked out one of the

letters there

from random the note reads quote

howdy honey i really want to meet with

great passion and my age is 23

yo do you want to know how many toys i

can put in my bum

or maybe you’ll want to help me a bit in

this

reply me faster my figure needs a warm

hands and fingers

my images and links are in my profile

need to follow this link

end quote

[Music]

and you got this as a physical piece of

mail yeah

what why why are you confirming that

i didn’t it keeps talking about links i

just didn’t know

oh is it talking about like sausage

links or well

like the links like talking about gold

well remember there was a dog there so i

assume that if whatever sausage or

whatever if there was sausage links

attached to the message of course it

would be yeah

that is right sorry i’m not the doctor

i’m not the doctor and sometimes i

forget that

but no that’s that is a good point

because it

then the note ended with need to follow

this

link and if the dog ate the link

i need to catch that dog

we gotta catch that dog and we gotta i

mean we gotta get that sausage out of

its belly before you digest yeah or

maybe digestion is part of it so wow

you know i don’t sometimes i don’t take

the time to appreciate from our

listeners like this is really

there was a lot more to this than i gave

credit for

um so thank you thank you to this

listener for reaching out

and as for your questions uh

about putting toys in a

um maybe

maybe that’s part of the dog thing so i

feel like this will be revealed once we

hunt down the dog

um anyway uh we we love to hear back and

you know i i

you know i just want to say i don’t

think there’s anything wrong with having

sort of a special place to sort of keep

your toys safe

you know like i you know i think you

know let’s say you’ve got some barbies

or some hot wheels

or whatever i mean whatever you have i i

you know i’m not

you know what what’s the alternative you

just throw it on the floor

so if you want to keep it wherever you

want just to keep it safe so it’s not

getting scratched or whatever i say

go for it and that that makes a lot of

sense

because you know they did say reply me

faster my figure needs

warm hands and fingers so i think action

figure is what they’re referring to

there

oh yeah probably okay um

and i mean i gotta assume it’s gonna be

like an action figure probably like

from the new succession line um all the

characters of succession

just battling it out finally

about time honestly about time

i’ve i’m so excited to get the new

action figure set

all right well so to this listener thank

you for listening and um

you know we look forward to getting more

fan mail in that mailbox

all right now for today’s medical topic

asbestosis

asbestosis is characterized by diffuse

interstitial fibrosis of the lung caused

by inhalation of asbestos fibers

it has a predilection for the lower

lobes of the lung

and it develops insidiously typically

over 15 to 20 years after exposure

so this exposure can be in the mining

and the milling of the fibers

in industrial application of asbestos

and that’s with work with cement

friction materials

ooh insulation costume idea

costume idea for you dr london

okay because you’ve mentioned it a lot

so i think it’s i think it’s kind of

up your alley you seem to talk about a

lot asbestos

when you say that i i seem to talk about

it a lot

so asbestos is the medical comes up all

the time it’s like gotta be

it’s gotta be like one of your favorite

things i feel like

i’m not even sure i’ve mentioned it

before on this podcast

until today you talk about it constantly

so let’s think about

getting an asbestos costume

and so you’re gonna be sort of like

what is that is that like a is that like

a video game or is that like a

so that’s like a drug or like a liquid

it’s a fiber like it’s a very small type

of fiber it’s

like uh microscopically it’s

uh it looks i guess i think it looks

like dumbbells if i’m if i remember

correctly sort of

um okay so a fiber so you’re talking

about like kind of like a small little

string

dr london you’re just a skinny little

string bean

that’s your costume

huh

i i don’t know if i’m all right i’m just

gonna write that i’m just gonna write

these down we’re gonna go

costume one guaranteed

choice asbestos

all right yeah i guess you can write

what you need to for now

um i would say uh anyway

also um you can be exposed through

non-occupational settings with

airborne asbestos such as regular

exposure to

soiled work clothes brought home by an

asbestos worker

or renovation or

you know demolition of

asbestos-containing buildings

[Music]

but asbestos it causes an increased risk

of bronchogenic carcinoma

which is increased even further if the

patient smokes

asbestosis also increases the risk oh i

mean this is another one of your

favorite things is smoking

that now you know i know you talk about

that like a ton

smoking yes because it’s such that’s

like one of your favorite subjects to

talk about

so why don’t we get yourself like

a you’re like a you’re a discarded

cigarette butt

right so maybe there’s like a little

lipstick on

and it’s sort of like a little

smoldering

you know what i mean yeah i

so i don’t want to promote smoking in

any way because then

you can go up you can go up to people at

the party and you can be like

hey you wanna do you wanna bum one and

but you’re like talking about yourself

oh okay i thought you’re gonna say like

i’d point at my

bum because it’s a cigarette butt or

something i mean you can do whatever you

want

you’re an adult yeah so asbestosis also

increases the risk of um malignant

mesothelioma

symptoms and physical findings are

non-specific interstitial lung disease

so the diagnosis is based on clinical

features and a history of exposure to

asbestos

and that’s that’s really a lot of it is

just

asking the right questions about work

exposure chest x-ray shows hazy

infiltrates with bilateral linear

opacities

and may show pleural plaques especially

in the lower lung

regions a high resolution ct scan

may show subplural linear deposits of

varying length

parallel to the pleura it could show

parenchymal fibrosis

coarse honeycombing and advanced disease

and pleural plaques

among other findings no specific

treatment

has been identified for asbestosis

management includes supportive care with

an emphasis on smoking cessation

there’s that word again we’ve definitely

figured out your costume because you’re

obsessed with this subject

which and i always say dress how you

feel

dress for the job you want and the job

you want dr london more than being a

doctor is being a big old cigarette

yes okay well

and i who you might be that one day in a

in a future life

i don’t know who who i have no idea what

the future holds well

yeah i don’t want to be a cigarette

or asbestos because these

these are all sort of things i don’t

want to promote

you know what i mean oh okay

so while you’re wearing the asbestos

cigarette costume

you could be holding like a big red

circle with a line through it that’s

that’s better that’s a big step up

actually that’s that would be a clear

message

for smoking especially yeah

and i have like i have a huge big red

circle with a line through it it’s heavy

as hell

okay well it’s like 160

170 pounds saying so you’re gonna have

to be carrying that all night

but if you think about the conversations

it’s gonna start with people dr london

well in that i can just imagine us at

the hottest

party in town and oh

who is that over there it’s amanda bynes

and she’s eyeing you because she’s

saying

where did that big red heavy circle with

the line through it come from

and she’s gotta ask right well i feel

like i’ll just

if i decide to do that then i would

probably just make my own

you know what i mean since

uh since yours sounds cumbersome and

heavy

you’re not gonna get an equivalent

quality with any other brand

trust me oh this is harry’s

big red circle with the line through it

yeah

okay well anyway so trust me this cost

me a pretty penny

so management the prettiest painting

i’ve ever collected

management includes supportive care with

an emphasis on smoking cessation

avoidance of further asbestos exposure

pneumococcal and influenza vaccination

and um you know supplemental oxygen if

that’s

if that’s needed but uh

yeah smoking cessation is a point worth

emphasizing over and over

because it causes a lot of preventable

things

yeah you’re obsessed with it yeah well

that’s

you know it’s preventable so

anyway but we can we can move on from

there

[Music]

all right cameron you said that we have

a special guest today is that right

that’s right dr london this is the most

special guest

that has ever even stepped foot

into this studio dr london that’s even

wow

put an inch of their toe across the

threshold

it’s our special guest hello there hello

hi sorry you sound a little boy do you

take a drink of water or something you

sound a little

hoarse there well i’m i’m joe the bro

johnson and i have

a 90 year old’s voice box

implanted into my 20 year old bro body

oh yeah i was wondering i didn’t know

because i mean you look just fit as hell

and so when you were i mean when you

were struggling to even

just push words out i i was wondering

i mean does that hurt to talk like that

oh no

like this voice box has been talking for

90 years

i mean it could handle anything all the

best keggers

you know everything man okay well hello

joe the bro johnson uh my name is dr

londonsmith.com

so is an it’s a 90 year old

person’s vocal cords yes so just just to

give you some background

i had a kegger incident and my vocal box

was crushed

oh yeah totally

well you know long story short

you want the kegger to not drop on your

voice box

but one thing led to another thing and

my bros just like dropped it on my

throat yeah that does sound like it

would be a long story

yeah i don’t remember much of it i’m

glad you shortened it

it’s uh it’s on tick tock and it’s on

snapchat and everything

yeah anyways like i needed to get my

voice box replaced and

i went to you know on 41st street

um under the underpass the bus terminal

um there’s this guy who would do

replacements of any organ you want

and i went with the budget option you

know right

um oh you’re talking about dr ox yes

yeah dude i love that guy he’s so great

he’s the one who added my extra toe here

look

oh dude oh i’m thinking about getting a

seventh one too

that is so sick yeah it looks it looks

ill

oh yeah and i’ve i’ve been incredibly

sick since

since

it’s sick as hell yeah it’s ill

shoot you know the less green

it costs when he got the gang green

that’s what he always says

i’ve got that hanging up in my in my

garage office

heck yeah dude so i mean why did you end

up

with a 90 year old’s voice was that the

only option or is that something you

really wanted to do

you know like halloween’s around the

corner and i thought you know

i could be a zombro you know so

i just wanted like the oldest and

gnarliest guy’s

voice to be mine so i can like

scare all those sorority chicks you know

i mean

yeah if you really i mean that’s pretty

genius this is

sort of a weird question it’s sort of a

shot in the dark really but was your

voice

prior to this maybe not

as gnarly as as cool as that my voice

before this was like

like split down right down the middle

between mary poppins and the grinch and

oh wow it was just a horribly

you can’t place that voice you know so i

really love

that i’m totally like police

and the grinch that is that’s one of

those lines that

every time you try to walk it it’s gonna

be a tough walk

just the balance yeah they were like

are you gonna like chimp to marie or

like what you know

maybe that’s different yeah well i mean

your voice i i’m not as familiar

but at least you have you know the

maybe the the wisdom of a storyteller is

in your

is in your throat now yeah totally like

when i

start to lose consciousness it just

starts to talk about

you know the old war and stuff it’s

pretty creepy oh wait so you don’t have

full control over the vocal cords oh

like when i’m awake and you know i’m

totally here like this is me

but like if i could get another kegger

you know

i might just start saying some like

1920s [ __ ]

oh wow like what like yo

that that model t ford is lit

you know that wow yeah my my great

grandfather was

always talking about how lit those were

dr london have you seen this with all

the the

vocal chord transparency i’m not

you know i i’m not super familiar with

tran vocal cord transplant surgeries in

general

that doesn’t sound like because you’re

saying this is maybe a little too

radical that does make sense

dr ox who is you know my favorite

surgeon

he he does uh sort of live a little on

the wild side

i could say oh yeah with his totally

with his practice he said that

something about you know because it

it’s a signature to add some something

called

bovine dna in all his like subjects

i don’t know what that means but like

he’s like i’m an

ox and i’m going to make sure you’re

part ox

is this dr ox dr bovine is he

a licensed physician because that seems

to be the real

issue here he drove me back home so yeah

he’s got a license

yeah that makes sense so he he drove me

back home i guess

should i be more specific a medical

license and

it was like in an 18-wheeler i mean it

was like in the back of an 18 wheeler i

didn’t sit in the cab with him

but i mean so that that he’s going to

have a special license just for that so

it’s not even just a basic driver’s

license

oh yeah oh oh i i yeah he he has a

medical marijuana

okay so i guess

that’s what i’m a bit confused about so

um

so he’s it sounds like a back alley

surgery kind of thing and me and him

we watched a license to kill together

like the

james bond movie there you go so dr

london

okay you got great taste so speaking of

maybe you’re not like um

so our guest here joe the bro johnson

uh when he was coming in he uh

handed me this vhs copy of

the the heroic tale of joe the bro

johnson

and specifically the exploits of dr ox

and so it sounds like you’re promoting

back alley surgeries that could be

dangerous

well you could call it that way

but i look at it as a budget option

for the discerning american

and and

wow yeah doctor that is very true dr

london you work for a very expensive and

very elitist

industry and i mean people are

struggling right now dr london maybe

this is

a real solution and why do you

talk so down yeah because the surgeries

i find so much cool stuff

in my app lots of boxes of things

lots of sticky things lots of smelly

things

it’s just like an entire world of

adventure back there

and you’re over here from your from your

ivory tower

saying oh that stinks so bad

get it out of here it came from the

alley you’re talking down on it yeah

well

and that’s how you’ve been talking about

my extra toe

over and over again how about how old

stinks how it squirts stuff out

sometimes

you can’t look at it without throwing up

in your mouth because this is how you

view

alleys which are perfectly normal place

to hang out

just to add to that question earlier so

the vhs copy you handed me

was this part of like helping the cost

of the

because you said it was a low budget

surgery were you just

did you make a movie with about the

experience to

to offset the cost of the surgery yeah

so so there are two

general options here you could pay a

flat rate of 500.

or you could pay 50 bucks

and agree to appear in 10

videos just 10 of

you just doing random stuff and you know

i chose that option because i only had

50 bucks

okay and is there a reason why it’s

only because it says on here exclusively

available

on vhs yeah um it’s

it’s hard to get dvds nowadays

okay so yeah that’s true there’s a lot

of retro throwback

dr london i know you’re not you’re not

cool and with it and you have no idea

what’s going on in terms of pop culture

but yeah i mean if you took a look at

your back alley you might see a vhs

player or something

or something like that over there yeah

maybe instead of spitting on the people

hanging out in the back alley you talk

to them

and you’re gonna find out that yeah

they’ve still got top gun on on vhs

yeah i i guess okay so for me it’s not

so

difficult to believe that someone would

already have

a vhs tape it’s more that

they would want another vhs tape

you know like like why would you

advertise with that because i don’t know

if you’ve heard about

streaming technology are you kidding me

i have netflix and chill all the time

bro like

dude like dude you’re just like looking

down on me oh just because

just because i’m a backstreet kind of

person dr

london a backstreet boy i guess you

could say

yeah yeah backstreet bro yeah maybe you

could say that dr london and do you have

an

issue with that because it sounds like

you do oh i was

i was making a little joke about i’m not

cameron i know you don’t

listen to much music but that was

actually a band the backstreet boys

yeah we know you’re saying that joe the

bro here couldn’t be in a band as good

as the backstreet boys

god you’re so mean dr lennon i don’t

understand why you insist on being this

rude

yeah and i also want to say in terms of

in terms of paying dr ox he also does

take blue cross blue shield of arizona

yes he does okay so so insurance

companies

say okay to this just that

all right well um

[Music]

well this has all been very interesting

i feel like maybe

we could go ahead and like

i mean i want to hear what the video

like so you’re talking about making

these 10 videos

have you already have you already made

all 10 of them

i’m in the middle of the third one so

i think we’re looking at a brand new

kind of project you know where

we’re thinking next one’s gonna become a

mockumentary

like the office you know what i mean

yeah

it’s a ma it’s a monumentary of what

like you’re going to kick it you’re

going to get a kick out of this

okay it’s a mockumentary about elitist

doctors

oh yes that’s right

oh man then we just we just talk about

their foibles you know

like they’re people too yeah we’re

talking about like

oh uh oh that person’s not

you know what like i’m playing like an

evil character who uh

you know was maybe like this high and

looks like exactly like

this guy over here i’m pointing at dr

london

and he’s like oh oh anyone who doesn’t

have a

have a have a have a doctor’s coat is

stupid yeah yeah

like like five lamborghinis baby

i’m gonna run over all your uninsured

ass like there’s like a

there’s like a really [ __ ] character

in there

actually they’re all that way and

they’re doctors

and yeah and there’s no good ones all

doctors are bad

and is this uh i mean you you

you say you’re you’re like in the middle

of producing this video

i mean do you have people acting in it

do you like

what are the budgets for this like how

are you even shooting these

videos so

you know it might involve me

feigning interest in a podcast went

quick

okay so to help promote it you’re

this is a way to advertise to save money

on advertising

oh you just got brode oh dr

london so i’m reading this

this vhs copy ca is this the first one

you made

yeah where is there a problem because it

says

uh like the title is covering up a

botched

surgery and it’s got all these like

sort of i guess written out sound

effects like

haha or you know

good one blorch uh you know kind of like

the

sort of cartoon action uh blurbs

and it seems like maybe it’s

making light of the you know the the

severity of uh

malpractice i didn’t really think about

that

yeah but why would you think about that

who cares yeah it’s funny

yeah no that’s a good point uh i guess

i’m on tv that makes me really yeah i

guess

from my perspective oh i want to explore

a little more about

the the like the vocal transplant

surgery itself you have these new vocal

cords

you’ve got it for halloween it sounds

like you you just

got this recently right because the plan

was you know halloween’s around the

corner so

i gotta i gotta change this up right

exactly

yeah just just two weeks ago oh wow so

they’re

they’re nice and fresh so what’s the

plan after halloween do you have one

um i don’t know i think this could be

kind of a grungy santa claus

i like that for valentine’s day so wait

so like i’m

yeah i’m like a little kid i’m asking

for

a present let’s act this out real quick

hey okay hey grungy santa can can i get

a like a denim uh

vest you know like where the sleeves are

cut off and it’s got like

patches heck no bro just kidding

here it is you have it on you that’s

awesome i can’t dude

we can make anything happen

okay so okay a question answered i mean

that

you’ve got a you’ve got a huge future

ahead of you it sounds like

yeah it also sounds like joe the bro

johnson might

might very much believe in a very active

you know authentic santa claus which is

great and you know for all of our

listeners that’s that’s really that’s

good

what about valentine’s day oh yeah like

i’m gonna be one of those singing carol

like

grams you know like like i’ve got a

crossbow

and i’m just gonna i’m just gonna shoot

letters

like at the foot foots like right next

to the feet of the people they want the

valentine grams but the message is tied

on them

with a crossbow oh you mean like

like cupid’s crossbow

you just feel like a little gust of wind

and there’s like

an arrow stuck right in running right at

your feet

and this is oh it’s from

charlie and he loves you and like

you’re chicks or you’re in love now wow

so really i mean this isn’t just for you

you’re actually changing the world for

the better with your vocal chords yeah

man

like i got a long-term vision you know

just like you do with the seven toes

like that’s a great investment

well i think you know we don’t know what

the future’s gonna look like

and it’s been a tumultuou it’s been a

tumultuous year and oh yeah

i you know i think that making these

sort of dramatic

changes that that dr ox can offer

can really help us going forward in the

future like me adding additional toes

well guess what that’s going to help me

balance when the world

becomes uh you know there’s earthquakes

going on all the time

and we’re going whoa everyone else is

going whoa whoa and here i am with my

seven toes on one foot

just sipping just up in a little cup of

tea because i’m balancing so

well yeah and in your case you’ve got

this

old man voice you know in the future

when everyone

is gnarled by a nuclear explosions

you’re gonna fit right in with the

mutants yeah dude

like here’s the thing all right like

the economy is going to [ __ ] and

uh you know everyone’s gonna start

declaring bankruptcies

but guess what they can’t take away your

toes man

that’s illegal that’s so

true and they can’t take away your voice

exactly it’s it’s

it’s the first amendment bro and dr

london does this piss you off to hear

people being happy and planning for

their future

because you don’t approve of their

surgeon uh

i i just more don’t because the surgeon

might be a little different than you

i just don’t like you know unlicensed

physicians

practicing medicine in a way that could

be

unhealthy like for instance your toe is

just spraying now

like it’s not even leaking anymore

yeah it’s there’s a soft mist that come

that coming from the toe at any given

time

sure you don’t find that refreshing no

no it’s because it’s like it’s a thick

you call it a mist but it like it seems

to

like there is a launching part but

there’s also a gushing

i to me it’s

disconcerting it’s uncomfortable

but yeah it’s really it’s it’s more

like yeah not a mist in the sense of um

what you and i think of as the mist i’m

talking more like the stephen king’s the

mist

right okay so causing harm yeah and

there’s just like various things coming

out of it as it

sort of squirts out but this is i mean

dr london

you say that this is an issue and yet

i’m gonna be able to balance

i mean we’re talking about when the

world is taken over by the ocean

and we’re all living on surfboards and

that’s how we have to get around

and you’re going to be surfing from uh

from you know patients house to

patient’s house being like whoa

i can’t balance and i’m going to be just

sipping a little cup of tea tiniest

little cup of tea you’ve ever seen not

spilling a drop

on my seven toes yeah dude hang 14

that’s the future okay

well you know i feel like we’ve covered

a lot today

but maybe it’s about time um so we’ve

we’ve kind of have these chores to do ah

yeah you’re right we should do the tour

wheel

oh i i’ll go ahead and explain it to you

joe the bro we’ve actually just kind of

been putting off

all of our uh errands and chores and

duties over the last year just because

we were lazy

yeah and um tv was on

and we couldn’t figure out how to turn

it off so anyway so we’ve just had this

huge stack of things to do

on our to-do list so we’re just trying

to knock off one

each week just knock a new thing off the

to-do list

get it over with so dr london can you go

ahead and

spin that wheel our chore wheel

all right and an up pumpkin carving

contest

okay oh yeah pumpkin carving contest

that that actually kind of works

perfectly

i’m glad we didn’t get this one like two

months ago

you know okay i guess it’s left over

from last year or something because

uh so so the county fair the local

county fair here

uh was shut down like they couldn’t have

a fair this year

and it’s such a highlight for the

community that

you know we’ve been asked by the event

organizers to

go ahead and host our own pumpkin

carving

contest and so now we can just

between the three of us we can you know

critique each other’s

note you know the i guess the winning

points first the others

so this is based on as we all know it’s

based on

size it’s based on craft debates on

creativity

so we’re going to take into account all

of these aspects

whenever we judge each other’s uh

pumpkins

okay okay so i’m i mean we just got to

get to carving

now right okay oh yeah i mean so yeah

yeah let’s just let’s just hop to it

ready set and we have uh

i guess dj dylan might want to speed

this up because

this is about a day-long process to do

it properly

okay here we go

here it goes there you go oh that looks

nice

yeah nice

one day later

[Music]

crap that’s good

great all right and

yeah cherry on top did you guys

you know do you feel okay about how your

stuff turned out whoa

oh yeah i’m super confident i’m gonna

win this thing wait is it competition

yes okay good okay

all right uh i guess we’ll start with

okay so

so cameron what for yours

if i could ask a question about what i

what i’m seeing

okay yeah yeah go ahead yeah so this

year you made the choice that you’ve

made in

past years where it looks

like you’ve you tried to carve a

watermelon instead

of a of a pumpkin what was your what was

your thought process there

well you know i think people always

associate

a halloween with orange yeah and i just

feel like that’s a really limiting color

and i don’t look good in orange

so i’m trying to add a little more color

and a little more spice into the holiday

and so i’ve been settling with different

fruits obviously you remember a couple

years

ago when i carved a pear right um

and then i mean probably the worst one

was when i was trying to

uh trying to carve a tomato which is

technically a fruit dr london yeah well

i think your worst one was the year

whenever you tried to carve

a bowl of pudding because

like that to me wasn’t even within the

realm you know it wasn’t a

fruit or a vegetable at all yeah and i’m

still i still

am cleaning pudding out of uh my

backpack

yeah okay and so just it just can’t

it just won’t come up and so as yes i

chose a watermelon i’m sorry if that

disturbs you

well i just but uh i mean what about

what about the actual carving itself dr

london

yeah so i um and joe the brother feel

free to comment on here but what i what

i think i’m seeing

is a very intricately

carved uh flea circus

is that is that what i’m seeing yeah you

can see a lot of moving parts

this is cool he

yeah i mean to say it’s a flea

circus i’m not exactly sure because i

don’t know what’s moving it and i didn’t

mess with it like i didn’t start moving

those things or

set anything there’s definitely a bunch

of small things crawling all over it

okay oh that is interesting because yeah

i just made like a bunch of little

circus

kind of fun little circus toys and

whatnot and and just kind of shove that

wait wait a second

but then when they started moving around

i was like oh this this is even better

how old

is this watermelon

uh i mean how old can a watermelon be

so do you just mean it’s like very old i

guess because cameron

you do realize so each of us has a fresh

pumpkin

yeah you had to find your own watermelon

for this i don’t know where you got it

oh i’ve been holding on to it i found

the perfect one

when oh gosh it was probably like

2 000 um

owl city was on the radio well there’s a

there’s a borders receipt

stuck to this watermelon the bookstore

borders

yeah i mean that’s where that’s where i

get most of my oh god

this this is that this is at least like

10 years old man

yeah it’s fine well do you want to slice

we eat this after we carve it right

yes

okay well and just to clarify one thing

just for our listeners um so a flea

circus

is sort of this old-fashioned idea where

you would have

what looks like a miniature circus done

by fleas but

the idea is that fleas are so small like

you can’t actually

see them very well so it’s really small

contraptions that are electronic

machinery moving around on their own

made to look like

fleas are performing but for cameron’s

it appears

that it’s it’s a legitimate flea circus

because he it was more of a hands-off

approach

yeah and you know it’s all natural yeah

yeah that that i think i can give to you

here

and carbon neutral so i i gotta say i

think yours might be

kind of disqualifying not because you

know

of of those positive things but probably

because it’s not a pumpkin

no i think you’re just you’re splitting

hairs here

let’s move on i want to i want to see uh

joe the bros pumpkin

yeah joe the bro let’s look at yours

yeah so

yeah as you can see um

yeah there’s a there’s a there’s a

there’s a

real finger on on the top of this

yeah that looks incredible where did you

how did you

carve the pumpkin to look like a real

finger

here’s a twist it’s it’s it’s my finger

oh okay so the carving for you maybe

got out of hand yeah yeah well

in my mind got

out of shape i guess

yeah yeah it’s kind of funny but also

i wish you’d said something because well

we should put that on ice instead of

incorporating it well well you know

dr ox has a lot of great fingers on

selection so

i don’t i don’t need i don’t need oh

yeah you know

that yeah you can replace that with like

a monkey finger or really anything you

want like a

you can get one that’s super big or

super small

but i guess my question with your with

your pumpkin is

that seems to be all you did

yeah yeah it just seems like a finger

it’s a i mean is it even taped to the

pumpkin or is it just resting on top of

it

kind of still dripping it’s just it’s

just kind of

resting on that stem-like nub that

pumpkin’s coming yeah the pumpkin nub

so what i’m let me know if i’m correct

on this

did you just start carving cut your

finger right off the bat

and then maybe pass out from the

you know the shock of it and then woke

up and we were

already judging whoa

that’s a perfect diagnosis it’s like

you’re a doctor or something oh

yeah it’s just there’s there’s a pool of

blood and

there’s your finger and no progress made

on the pumpkin

are you sure you’re not sherlock holmes

damn dude but i mean that’s not none of

this is disqualifying

so forget dr london’s judgments and

diagnosis

and all those things i mean as we can

see right now we’ve got

my flea circus watermelon and we’ve got

the

the i mean do you have a name for your

for your presentation

oh yeah numero uno numero

uno oh man that might actually trick the

judges into voting number one

all right well dr london let’s look at

yours

okay and okay to clarify first it’s a

pumpkin carving contest

okay so so no one so far has managed to

carve a pumpkin again splitting hairs

now let’s see let’s see what you got

okay all right

there it is okay pretty good

pretty good pretty

i mean what is it yeah okay it’s

i mean so i i did overshoot a little bit

is that supposed to look like a person

yeah and um not an effigy

just a person uh-huh um

but yeah so uh it’s

you know one of my personal heroes oh

i’ve just never seen a someone look that

disgusting yeah

okay i guess it’s halloween so i guess

that that works

is the person dead is is it the is it

how they look like in the grave yeah is

this after they’ve been rotting

for maybe a couple weeks

yeah so this is einstein

like how he currently is what’s the

thing coming out of his mouth

well you know he makes that that silly

face with his tongue

that smile that kind of thing like a

weird growth

yes yeah so i mean he’s been dead a long

time and things have grown

into and around him i assume so

uh i mean anyway i gotta think this is

disqualified right

yeah this this is very disrespectful

it’s very disrespectful it’s very ugly

it’s very gross

right yes i’m the only one who who

carved a pumpkin

for the pumpkin carving contest yeah but

you didn’t you didn’t

follow the spirit of the assignment

you know you’re just following the

letter of the law oh it’s a pumpkin and

i

carved something yeah right

and you know my mom calls me pumpkin so

i technically

did pumpkin carving too yeah

and i don’t know the difference between

a watermelon and a pumpkin so

technically like from a scientific

standpoint

i did carve a pumpkin yeah

i think we’re all we’re all in the

running again

yeah except for you dr london i don’t i

can’t i don’t know what to call this

yeah to call this a pup

could i rename mine real quick sure go

ahead

okay sure swamp moss monster swamp

monster

oh i see that now that’s it yeah that’s

that’s a total swamp monster

that’s i mean all right you did a

terrible job but i i i see what you’re

going for

okay okay it’s a small monster that

looks exactly like i

yeah see now you can’t stop thinking it

looks like einstein still don’t

understand the growth coming out of his

mouth like that

but you know what have you seen

you know what i’m just gonna i’m gonna

let it go you know you’re still

you’re still a kid you’re growing up so

it’s not gonna be perfect i understand

that

yeah good good job pal yeah good job kid

good job bud

yeah i get i guess thank you um so i

guess that

uh so we’ll just submit these to the

judges

and so the way we do that if i remember

yeah okay so the instructions here say

uh catapults we put

yeah we can’t we put them all in the

backpack as you said earlier

put that in the the catapult and then

because we want to keep our distance um

just launch it

and uh we should get the results

depending on what survives because

that’s how that’s part of the context

yeah what’s the list that’s the

catapulting

dylan can you crank up the catapult yes

and here i’ll type in the configurations

latitude and longitude

all right and distance and

angle and max height

and velocity

and color of backpack let’s go ahead and

select

like a let’s do like a green camo one

remember the year when they didn’t have

the color put in i know

and then let’s go ahead and do let’s uh

let’s get something embroidered on it um

let’s do our initials so we’ll just do

all of our initials

okay just monogram yeah jbj

jbj uh okay

and then all right now we’re gonna

choose the strap color

okay let’s see it’s a brown i think that

goes good with the green camera

fuchsia i want i want fuchsia okay we’ll

go fuchsia so we’re gonna go

fuchsia on the backpack strap color

okay and now we’re gonna go zipper speed

i’m gonna say medium because i think

sometimes when it’s too fast you can

kind of like

get your finger caught in it yeah that’s

true

and yeah i think that’s that’s probably

enough detail

okay to work with all right dj dylan hit

the catapult button

oh and there it goes

oh okay there was a bird in the way

my finger hit the bird that’s ironic

that is

okay well i feel like we’ve we’ve made a

lot of progress today

um all right i guess now’s the time to

sort of let’s let’s wrap things up uh

thank you

to oh do we have to do we close the door

shut down the chore wheel

i think we just we shoot it until it

stops spinning

okay do dylan can you shoot the chore

wheel

oh there we go oh wow

that’s that’s tough to see okay

um all right well thank you

everyone who came here today uh thank

you to

joe the bro johnson um

do you have any uh any way for you know

listeners to

follow you to to hear what’s you know to

keep up with you

oh yeah um joe five legs

on twitter

okay all right and um

hey let’s see here’s our producer

cameron thank you

for helping us out today absolutely dr

london and uh real quick we’ve got to

figure out your costume

and i already got the answer for you dr

london i know where you’re going ass

we’ve brought him up so many times

and he you know you said he was a hero

of yours

and i know he’s a hero of mine too

it’s dr ox you gotta go as dr ox i think

everyone will think that’s super cool

everyone at the party is gonna think

that’s just a laugh riot

and obviously as you know he wears sort

of

i wouldn’t call it a poncho

because it doesn’t have arm holes like a

poncho

it’s more like a receptacle liner

does that make sense yeah well

i you know i’m not like

einstein was the hero i mentioned no

you said like something about like a

genius guy

and some sort of growth coming out of

his mouth and that i mean these two

things describe

dr ox okay

uh i guess you know we’ll wait and see

what what it looks like

um you know i might be busy on saturday

you know what i mean

mean

[Music]

you paddle out from the shore adjusting

with the paddle

just so in order to be in the dead

center of the pond

after all if you plan to haunt this

thing with your ghost

you cannot be asymmetrical about it you

stop

to write that down in your ghosting

journal yes

yes your ghost will hate asymmetry

brilliant stuff

as you mentally prepare to jump in the

water

while holding a rock and making it a

point to not hold a big breath

you panic the unfinished business

ah you fumble through your belongings

grinning as you imagine them floating

around the pond when you become a ghost

and you fish out your game boy you have

one more match

before beating the pokemon league and

you make it a point to

save there without playing any more

with that unfinished business remarkably

incomplete

you try to stand up in the boat lose

your balance

and you fall into the water making you

lose confidence in yourself

wishing to be a very confident ghost you

decide

to try again tomorrow speaking of doing

things with confidence

71: Silicosis/Dr. Jameson McPatsycline & Dr. Sean O’Cuttigan (feat. Bart Dangus & Brett Mercer)

Hey kids you’re about to listen to a

comedy podcast that means that none of

this is medical advice

if you need medical advice some medical

care please contact your doctor

welcome to the jock doc podcast

featuring

dr london smith if you do not like this

podcast

then you have serious mental problems

and you need to see a doctor

and that’s a jock doc guarantee

introducing

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 would 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 motile trichomone ads and

rock the vote so i’ll try to temper my

terminology to a simpler one in the

future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron dr london hey

tricketty trackety let’s listen to this

podcast kadetty

okay um i’m trying out i’m trying out

new taglines

we don’t have a tag line have you

noticed that everyone has been emailing

me like i don’t know what to tell people

your tagline is because we got nothing

we’ve kind of gotten not bored not so

boring was the

not so boring but that’s barely even a

tagline

but the problem with this is i now that

i’ve done a lot more research

on this most of the words that are used

in the english language have been taken

by other podcast taglines

95 percent of which are murder podcasts

um and then the other five percent being

of course

about uh like old defunct westworld

podcast that

everyone abandoned after the first

season yeah and so

i’m kind of forced to uh be a little

loose be a little liberal with what we

could consider words

so right now i’ve said set it on

tricketty trackity

let’s listen to this podcast

um because we can’t use the word podcast

in the tech line at all if we want to

knock it end up in court i well you know

that

podcast is also in the name of our

podcast

yes that’s fine okay but the tagline

that’s fine because it is a podcast we

can have that in the title but the

tagline itself it just can’t be done

so i’ve got podcast tv

um i’ve also got oddly the word porridge

has not been used in a single tagline we

could just say

like welcome to uh this porridge okay so

the only issue i see with that is i’m

not sure that porridge has a lot to do

with

you know our our particular topic

of medicine i feel like i feel like the

implication is there like i feel like

context clues will just help a lot with

this anyway i i don’t mean to stop

everything but throughout the show i’m

gonna be i’m gonna be testing a lot of

these out okay

all right well um so so that was our

producer cameron but also with us

is digital the whole

tricky

oh that is stanky

[Music]

tricketty tricky

hey

[Music]

hey hey

did you do the house

oh that was a good one and uh later

cameron tells me we can expect and this

is kind of a big deal uh

two surgeons

that’s right dr london wow and that’s

you know you bring out a lot of

guests just from off the street but it’s

it’s really nice to hear that

you know you’re actually bringing on

real medical professionals so

i’m very excited for this and we got

them two for the price of one

okay did you do you so you paid

well it’s it’s not like pay it’s not

like paid it’s like

you do the podcast or you’re not gonna

get this thing back

or you’re not going to see this person

again like that it’s usually that kind

of transaction

so you mean so so you did you kidnap

someone

no no no no it’s a transaction but

this time it’s two for the price of one

so you kidnapped one

person for that the details

you’re trying you’re announcing the

details of the contract to

the public which you should not do these

are contracts dr london

okay well i you know before we move on i

would like to address a bit of

listener feedback so i found this note

tie-dyed in sequence into the

undergarments that i had left

drawing on a clothesline outside the

yeah yeah the note reads quote good day

my name is to enjoy you pleasure i send

this inquiry in regards to some urinal

please kindly get back to me for payment

for good time and beautiful ladies end

quote

so first of all um thank you so much for

reaching out to us here at the jock talk

podcast

yes uh we love to hear from listeners to

answer your question

i i actually do not think that we are

currently in the urinal

selling business but

but i do want to ask cameron have you

been selling urinals

i have not been selling urinals but i

can kind of see where maybe this is

going is that i’ve been

i’ve been selling sort of our podcast to

be played above urinals

you know sometimes like in a sports bar

they’ll have like a little screen or

whatever it might be showing a game or

it might just be kind of like

rotating through announcements right

i’ve kind of contracted out

above urinals at these sports bars so

you go to the bathroom you’re going to

take a piss

and then just our podcast is the second

you start peeing

it starts blaring as loud as possible

you don’t know it because it’s off when

you walk in it’s silent

and the second you start going it starts

going

chalk dog podcast okay

so and right now that’s the bulk of our

listeners

yes so all two of our listeners

wow um so

so they’re paying us so okay okay well

at least we’re getting paid for this

that’s that’s nice oh yeah

yeah i mean i only had to pay them like

like 6 400

to do that okay because

so it’s not because the and this

i think you’re ignoring the biggest part

of this email which he says

like get back to me for a good time that

means he’s not having a good time with

our podcast dr

london well i should clarify concerning

it’s not an email it was

written in my undergarments on the

clothesline outside but yeah

right right right the principal remains

is that what you think an email is

yeah an email is just any exchange

of words after like 1995.

so if it’s written on a post-it note if

it’s uh you know sent through snail mail

if it’s uh skyriding if it’s

uh you know through the trades like if

you’re sort of like giving people secret

messages through the trades um all of

that

all of that’s an email okay well you

know you’re the tech guy

between us like zodiac type letters if

that were to be sent today

you would say oh that’s the zodiac’s

email okay

uh well now for today’s medical topic

silicosis

hold on he’s look he’s looking he’s

looking for fun

we’ve got an opportunity here with this

whole tagline thing

to like make this podcast a little more

fun and attract

and keep these listeners okay

so okay so can we just real quick we’re

just gonna go one word at a time we’re

gonna tagline this okay

the podcast okay the tagline

for the podcast though uh

is this the tagline for the tagline or

the tagline for the podcast

it’s impossible to tell all right ready

i think i guess

fish chomp

fish chomp blue fins

okay that’s it okay fish chomp blue fins

it’s the jock dock podcast i

i feel like we may need available in six

u.s

states uh i i just don’t i don’t see how

that’s really

you know applying to any of what we are

you you want to stick with just the word

porridge

no no i i think not so boring is pretty

good though

all right we’re just gonna work with

porridge for right now but we’re gonna

keep working on this okay go ahead go

ahead

okay now for today’s medical topic

silicosis silicosis is a localized and

nodular peri-bronchial fibrosis

more common in the upper lobes of the

lungs silicosis can be acute

following a massive exposure to silicone

leading to rapid onset

and death but it can also be a chronic

with symptoms showing years after

exposure

it is also associated with an increased

risk of tuberculosis

as it is in environmental lung disease

patients

should be asked about exposure to mining

stone cutting

and glass manufacturing as these are

situations in which

silica can be inhaled exertional

shortness of breath is the main

presenting symptoms uh

they can also have cough with sputum and

restrictive

pulmonary function abnormalities all

right

hold on hold on okay because this is i i

i get where you’re coming from now i you

complain a lot that the podcast is not

serious enough and it’s not medical

enough and it’s not educational enough

right and so i’m trying to appeal more

to you and to your kind and to the kind

of people you’re trying to attract

so yeah like our guests yeah so the jock

doc podcast

localized nodule cribrosius with chronic

glass manufacturing external costs but

um

okay i feel like see you’ve got some of

those keywords right

um but i feel like you didn’t really

use them in an order that makes sense

and those are for a specific diagnosis

as opposed to a description of a medical

education podcast

do you see i mean i feel i feel like i’m

hitting all the hits here i mean i i

i is there nothing i can do correct in

your eyes

oh doctor i welcome to the jock dock

podcast

localized nodule cribrosis with the

chronic glass manufacturing external

costs but um

if you heard that would you think oh

that’d be a nice medical education

podcast

i would think this podcast is for must

be for geniuses because i don’t know

what’s going on and if i want to maybe

learn something

i need to check it out okay i i feel

like that’s not the message i get

this is the strongest one we’ve come up

with so far and

i think it it appeals both to you know

my kind of people

you know like the fun kooky kind of

people and your kind of people the

um doctors the people who avoid taxes

the people who um

you know are super wealthy that kind of

thing okay well

um anyway just to finish up here for on

imaging

uh eggshell calcifications may also be

seen on chest x-ray

and treatment um you know most

importantly does involve removal from

exposure to silica

and you know also supportive care but uh

yeah i’m really not seeing how that

that whole idea would make a good

tagline we’re really just

dj dillon yes make that tagline cool as

hell

welcome to the jock talk podcast

localized nodule cray brushes with a

chronic glass manufacturing external

costs

okay you’re telling me you don’t like

that no

no that was better than i thought it

could be

the jock talk podcast localized nodule

fibrosis with

chronic glass manufacturing external

cough spuddle

not so boring uh let’s just move on then

all right uh cameron do we have a

sponsor today that is right dr london i

actually

am very very excited about this sponsor

i 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 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 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 gifs 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 spiderman no

no characters of any kind well that’s

specific but like

so like the one i mentioned might have

yeah or maybe

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 man

that is gross 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 it’s 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

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 sounds the gift

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 i

i i well anyway

uh yeah dead deadrats shirts.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 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 a 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 prefer

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 yeah yeah and

enjoy

[Music]

all right cameron you said that we have

uh guests today and they’re actually

you know real surgeons uh and for for

our

listeners who don’t know so surgeons you

know

any doctor is going to be will have

undergone a large education but a

surgeon in particular they go through

their

four years of university you know

undergraduate level university

then four years of graduate level

medical school

plus five years of surgery uh residency

minimum

and you know we’re gonna find out from

them about their specializing

how anyway just all that to say

yeah that sounds great i mean i’m sure

not everyone has to do all that kind of

stuff i’m sure if you’re smart you can

kind of skip some stuff and kind of

speed stuff along

just because people didn’t go as slow as

you did when you went to medical school

dr london i’d

you know shouldn’t hold that against

people your jealousy

he’s not even saying the words right

it’s sergion so uh

okay yes and this is oh and see that is

interesting

it is interesting how there’s so many

words that

come from other countries or other

languages and when they get over to

america we just botch

them or we say them incorrectly or you

know i read it all the time but i never

hear it

and so how how do i pronounce it

no this is not french we’re not french

serge we’re not french

no france

the way i’ve come to understand how to

pronounce it is sergion

which is of course irish for man who

does the surgery

yeah because only men can do surgeries

especially this type of surgery okay so

i think now is a good time to

introduce our guests uh all right could

you could you introduce yourselves

hi well yes hello my name is it’s doctor

sturgeon sean o’connell

and uh of course with me as always my

colleague jameson

mcpatsyclin jameson all these years it’s

paxy klein and i’m about to retire i’m

about to retire and you still can’t get

it right

you know i’ve never really been a big

i’m more of a faces guy i see your face

and i go i remember that face

you’re facing and i’ve remembered ever

since we did our residency at

massachusetts general hospital dr mc

patsy klein how many days left do you

have until retirement

uh a little bit too many it’s it’s like

right under

it’s right under 70. i can’t somewhere

in the 60s upper 60s

wow it’s amazing that’s exciting yeah

i’d have to

i’d have to count but uh us irish don’t

do that

oh you guys are irish yes we are we are

irish surgeons and i know you’ve heard

all the jokes before

laugh it up especially around

what we’ve been doing lately the jokes

about how irish surgeons always have a

shamrock shake in one hand while they’re

doing the surgeries right

i’m not okay i’m not trying to bring up

stereotypes like that i’m really not i’m

not trying to upset you but that’s what

people say

you know but we we just want to say

we’ve heard all the jokes already

okay so can we move on well

i guess given that question you know the

question is kind of hanging in the air

could you

either endorse or dispel that in a given

surgery are you holding a shamrock shake

just to like are you accusing of magic

what do you mean dispel

jamieson doesn’t know a lot of words

you’ll have to really spell it out for

him

i think it would be d i s

i’m telling you we we’re not magicians

we’re irish

we’re irish circumcisionists

so that’s the kind of sergei sergei

rohi that you guys do yes we are

gonz uh when we work within the art of

circumcision did you uh cause this this

sounds like one of those topics that’s

more

covered under general surgery or like i

guess more specifically pediatric

surgery

if you will sorry i and i guess

are you are you originally from ireland

is that why maybe that’s why i’m not

getting a pronunciation

the same does that does that really

really matter

for you i mean unfortunately for dr

london it really really does

so jameson is a little touchy about uh

his

irish heritage i personally am a 19th

generation immigrant

um and of course my colleague jamison is

from where did you say you were from

again

well i you know what it doesn’t really

matter but there’s a boat involved

overseas then i no i have a yacht that

i’m retiring to

that’s where you’re from is a yacht that

you’re retiring to

none of your business i’m really sorry

yeah why are we getting in i’m the

doctor here

business i’m sorry yeah we’re

we’re not here to to talk about uh the

differences between

the pronunciation of surgery and jerry

and i’m not here to talk about you know

the fact that we are

i i irish surgeons and and who who

par it’s it’s it’s neither here nor

there i’m here to talk about our brand

new venture can we can we please just

yes this is this is this is all i want

to hear about i want to hear why you

guys are here i want to hear what you

got going on

yeah what you got what you got under the

hood

we’ve got we’ve teamed up me and mr uh

how do you pronounce it again mick patsy

cline

patsy clone yeah jamison me and my

colleague jamison mcpatsy klein

and uh our assistant blaine hill uh who

does a lot of the cleaning

we have opened up one of the world’s

very first

circumcision parlors okay

because we we found ourselves after uh

all

three years of medical school that we

went to

finding it difficult to pay back our our

student loans for medical school and of

course

when when when things get dire you got

to turn to the thing you love

and turn it into a meaningful side

hustle

they say if you cut a penis off every

day you’ll never work a day in your life

and you know i’m hearing more about

these kind of side hustles like this

uh you know like everyone’s getting into

uber or you know doing door dash

and things like that i i mean is this

something that’s

are you trying to like what kind of

market are you guys trying to compete

with here

yeah well let me tell you like you could

do uber

or you could take the route that i did

i’m about to get a you know

retire to a yacht and i just took the

router beta self-employed

so what what is it that y’all do though

like at these part like you say

circumcision parlor you just kind of

ended it up there like we’re supposed to

know what that means

i need to hear oh do you not know you

don’t know do you not know you’re not

educated

i’ve never i this is really embarrassing

i’ve never been to one

i’m sorry i’m so sorry have you been to

a barber shop

um wait dr lennon can have i been to a

barbershop

uh it’s the place where they cut your

hair

yeah yeah i’ve been there before yeah

it’s scary

nightmares those scissors right near

your ears

yeah and see we and you don’t want just

somebody taking care of your hair like

yeah you know

we saw that as a big hole in the market

gaping and we decided to say hey you

know what

we’re gonna make sure that there are

professionals

certified professionals there to to

unlike a uh unlike a bow rick’s or a

fantastic sam’s where any

any jag off can come in there with

scissors no

we wanted to take the carrot it

needed to perform circumcisions

in our brick and mortar par circumcision

parlor started by me

sean o’cutting in my my uh a long time

associate jamison mc

how do you pronounce it pat cichlin it’s

patsy clyde

yes and also this this is a this is a

space for people who are

alarmed scatterbrained afraid and so we

don’t have just

chairs you know we were like this feels

like a doctor’s office what do we need

coin operated horses make you feel

comfortable

for for the patience when was the last

time you got

circumcised and i’m i’m throwing this

question out to

all of us oh gosh i mean

oh man i mean it’s got to be like

it’s i would say

like the reason by hoobastink was on the

radio a lot

so it’s gotta be and it’s got we gotta

be talking like oh four

yes and now did you get this uh like

what time of day did you do this during

like

you know five to seven pm like half off

specials or did you go

late night like normal people do oh gosh

well

tip the other radio that was playing

hoover stink i remember there weren’t a

lot of commercials

on at the time so it was probably kind

of the rush hour mix so it would have

been

either 8 a.m or 5 p.m

somewhere between what you would call

normal business hours

yeah you had to take a day off school

had to take a day off work to prepare

you know the appointment that would come

after work yeah

so one thing you brought up with this

this sort of open market

so a lot of people are you know the

these days are kind of scared to go to

their barber

to get a haircut and so i i’m wondering

you mentioned the horsey thing but

is there like do you maintain sterile

field like this is a standard search

goal

of course uh of course like so we we do

have uh we do have sterilization

techniques

um it’s you know i mean i’m sure you’re

familiar with it

it’s like a brown liquid you know you

get it like

half off from five to seven um

but you know all other times it’s about

four bucks plus a tip

so we do sterilize yeah and and i

i hear your concerns especially in these

day in this day and age about

uh you know uh protecting our clientele

from

from pathogens and especially at a high

risk thing like this and i want to

address that by saying

uh when you do what you love you never

work a day in your life and i think i’ll

leave it at that okay

because if you leave it at that that’s

sort of you kind of already made that

point

with the whole with with your uh

i guess you really enjoyed cutting into

uh male genitalia uh how

okay well first of all how dare you okay

i’m sorry

second of all bigot third of all

double triple bigot uh we usually

say a person with a peepee this is more

of a medical term

and i do real quick i just want to

mention i’ve been in dr london’s office

and he has no brown liquid

anywhere going on and so when i hear you

talk about this i’m suddenly concerned

that i’ve been in a doctor office where

there’s just pathogens walking around

and everywhere they’re more hop

if you will ugh that’s disgusting i’ve

never seen dr

what what is going on here well you know

to some extent i’m not as familiar with

the

you know the uh standards for medical

procedures and sterilizations

in ireland so perhaps some of these are

customs from across the pond i know

you know maybe some of our listeners

will chime in because i think we do have

some

some from uh ireland from england

from scotland but you brown

liquidless coward yeah i’m so sorry i

want to clarify we are

we we currently are operating out of

redford michigan

oh um okay but so you’re

you’re licensed in this the u.s though

in

yes the united states of america okay

okay so

so you would be following

proper protocols for your location then

of course yes okay well that’s okay for

the listeners i noticed that you made a

fun

face when you said that he he winked

heavily there no he didn’t is that me i

i just i got something in my eye uh and

it must be because it’s so damn sterile

in here

yeah i just saw a funny silly face

you think irish people have funny faces

i think when they’re telling funny jokes

yeah

i would can we skip the jokes about how

irish people have funny faces when they

tell jokes

yeah thank you thank you doctor

well now look this brown this bra we

take

we take cleanliness seriously and that’s

why we use the brown liquid

and we we just let it we let it flow

around

we let it flow and and you know it it

really helps

people kind of loosen up to the idea

that they’re about to get circumcised

some some people for the first time

since 2004 when hubus thinks the reason

was on the radio sp

it flows more especially five between

five and seven pm you know

yeah we run a special from five to seven

p.m everywhere it’s half off you had

said right

uh or or two for one whatever you know

chops your

[ __ ] yeah we have a

variety of specials that we uh that we

roll out

every day from five to seven honestly

what i’ve learned from my time in

at this uh circumcision uh parlor

is that there’s a community of us you

know

who like to go in every now and then for

a trim up there really becomes a sense

of community

within the parlor and and we have a

great time there i mean

thursday night is ladies night oh wow

come on bye

do you all get a lot of ladies coming

through the circums

season parlor is that is that right

okay now why are you mocking us why are

you mocking us

i’m trying to i’m trying to to to to

honor

y’all’s you think we say that word weird

you think we say that word weird

because i’ve just been saying it normal

no jamison he’s just he was just trying

to

he’s just trying to reach us on our

level you know i i appreciate it i don’t

appreciate it

before my retirement party put your

fists down why are why are you holding

your fist

up at me sir i i’m really sorry i wasn’t

trying to

and rotating them kind of and how else

if you’re gonna talk [ __ ] about

circumcision

i’m gonna fight you and you know what

i’m not trying to i’m not trying to talk

s about anything over here i i just want

to know

like y’all have compared it to getting a

haircut

like going to like uh the barber shop is

this are we

are people getting like designer

circumcisions

of course oh okay so it’s not just like

the straightforward cut like that you’re

expecting

oh no no i’m you know what i’ve been so

uh so in invested in the community of

recurring circumcision

that i forgot that you know some people

just don’t know

about the about the process you know no

now typically you either you either

leave it alone

as a as a baby and then other times you

know you get it

dealt with uh you get it you get it uh

just what we’d like to call

uh just a big razor you know a really

boring just

utility utility first yeah cut a shaved

head if you will what

is it is it sort of like sort of like a

barber shop where people come in with

maybe photos of celebrities or things

like that like maybe they

show you a picture of michael chiklis

and they say i

you know i would like it to look like

that or

i you know i uh specialize in in doing

different logos you know i’ve done the

bmw logo and nike logo

uh the republican uh the republican gop

logo

i’ve done it all and and uh you know

these people walk out

with such a smile on their face

and and i gotta i have a smile on my

face too knowing that they’re out there

confident in their cuts see and and i’m

more of a like kind of old school guy

which is why i’m phasing out because i

just focus on balls mainly you know

oh wow yeah sometimes like the most

forgotten part of circumcision

all right what are you talking about

okay

what are you talking i’m sorry could i

would you mind if i jumped in here for a

moment because i

i do have a question for clarification

so it is

my understanding and once again i’m not

a you know i

i dabble in surgery but i’m not you know

committed to surgery as a specialty like

you

uh usually circumcision is a one-time

thing because that particular

uh part of the male genitalia doesn’t

tend to grow back

usually well i hear your concern and and

i guess what i’m trying to

say is that you know we we really just

we just have a love

for the game and we we can’t see a life

doing anything else

and uh because you know when i look in

the mirror i see i say to myself

you are a man that does circumcision and

yeah that’s and i think that’s why i’m

so passionate about it right now and

i mean dr london that does that answer

your question i

well okay no i feel

and maybe it’s just a lack of

understanding on my part because once

again you’re you

you’re the ones who specialize in this

um oh i’m sorry that your

his passion isn’t enough for you dr

london i am so sorry guess

he that he’s always like this with our

with our guest

why why are we talking to a dabbler just

dabbling just dabbling in surgery

i’m sorry it’s more to you know we have

you on here actually to educate our

listeners so it’s

you know it’s not so much for us to

speak that way although i

think to some extent we are colleagues

but in any case uh

dr patsy cline um yes sir

uh you were talking about the uh

the scrotum which i feel that i hold on

i i never said anything about scrotum

okay maybe i specifically i i

specifically said balls i focus

i’m more of an old school guy who focus

on balls so

when this fancy new boy taking over the

practice

he’s putting bmw logos on it you know

ferrari horses

you know i kind of just was carving

basketballs and footballs

baseballs more of like a sports base but

you know

especially now with with the times

changing

and and all these like old school gender

roles you know

maybe it doesn’t have to be like a

basketball or a baseball it could be

maybe like uh

something girlier like a horse horses

are girly

you’re saying a ferrari horse is girlier

than

a wnba basketball yes yeah i mean yeah i

think so

hmm okay

i think there is a horse based team in

the nba so that that is kind of

you know that’s on par with our uh

practice a horse based team yeah

okay yeah i’m sorry i’m also not as

familiar with basketball so i guess i

really am

maybe i’m out of my depth here well if

you ever want to learn about basketball

maybe come by

our circumcision parlor in redford

michigan and

uh and and you know we can watch one of

the many games we always have a game

going

uh behind the um beyond the um

tool chest tool chest definitely not a

bar

yeah yeah um yeah and you know cause we

look there’s there’s a lot of guys out

there they sometimes bet on the games

you know

it gets a little rowdy we’re mostly a

celtics we’re mostly a celtics parlor

i know more than anyone you get a group

of guys together you get some sort of

brown

liquid sterilization juice going

people are going to be throwing money

down on sports let me tell you

yeah cnn everybody’s having fun and we

do our last circumcision call

at uh usually 2 a.m yeah yeah around 2

a.m yeah 2 a.m

and you know what’s funny is a lot of

people they they come by the parlor the

especially these days they come by the

parlor

and they they don’t even they don’t even

want to circumcision

they don’t buy a circumcision they don’t

seem interested in the circumcision

but i think it’s just the nature of the

community that we’ve built

that that brings people out to just hang

out in the uh

parlor way yeah just like how you might

not need a haircut right now but you

miss your old buddies

so you know what i’m gonna pay the money

i’m gonna get the haircut anyway

and yeah a lot of people are quitters

a lot of people are like they sort of

concessions uh too much for me

you know and i just can’t keep on going

doing that every day and they kind of

like quitters you know

is that why is that why you’re looking

to retire too many quitters in the game

too many quitters yeah i’m gonna i’ll do

i’ll dabble here and there

you know well at some point i would

assume

that people would run out of foreskin i

don’t know if that’s been

um i i i mean

you you kind of sound like somebody who

would run out of foreskin but

most people that i’ve met have an

abundant

i’d call it even maybe a sick skin

do you look at bald people and go oh you

must have just run out of hair

because you got too many haircuts it

doesn’t work like that

these our cells are constantly as doctor

to doctor

surgeon to regular doctor let me just

say surgeon to dabble

cells re regenerate cells

multiply it’s it’s a call it’s a thing

called multi

multiplicity and our cells are going

through it all the time

and that’s why you you know you you you

can actually

stretch your foreskin out it’s called

jelking

uh in order to rebuild your foreskin in

order for us to

you know to take another crack at the

design we were going up the first

time so it’s really there’s really

nothing at risk

and there’s there’s nothing that that

should hold you back

from getting yourself uh you know maybe

a nice little jock

dock uh logo you know just

well team pride yeah it sounds like the

only thing the thing at risk here

is that uh uh some adidas fanboys might

see my nike logo and try to start some

trouble am i right

i mean yeah and that’s the worst part

because when you see

when you see somebody that has like a

bad

uh you know logo down there that you

disagree with

a lot of times other people just try and

like suck it off to

be like you need to put a nike swoosh on

there

none of this adidas mutt now yeah cause

i constantly kids will come in like give

me the old swoosh and i go are you sure

about this

you know how the people who like adidas

will might take this and they go yeah

i’m sure

wow and i haven’t gotten a complaint so

brave souls

some people change their mind they come

back a couple days and we suck it off

them and then we put on a new

logo they’re just a few a few points of

confusion for me on this part and once

again

this could just be from i i don’t

specialize in this particularly

um if everyone is seeing that a given

person

endorsed a given sports brand say like

nike or adidas

uh how are they sketchers

is is this like a region specific thing

in in

michigan where sperries people are

exposing their genitalia to others in

order to and then

someone will recognize a logo on it

because i don’t see this situation

happening in normal day-to-day life

where someone sees the logo on accident

and it becomes sort of uh

you know it sounds kind of like a gang

issue

yeah i i think i do see what’s going on

here and it

is easy and i do relate with this uh

because i know my three years in medical

school i came out being like

what’s up and down when you’re in

academia for so

long you kind of let society

slip away from you yeah every sense of

the world

in pursuit of expert knowledge in one

specific field

and uh the answer to your question is

you know if i learned more about

circumcision every day and i wouldn’t i

wouldn’t have any other career path

if i could go back and do it all again i

do it the exact same way

except maybe a couple of things what

would do differently

but for the most part yeah to answer

your question yeah

mostly and that’s why you’ll never work

a day in your life

that’s right you’re damn right i will

never work a day in my life

i mean dr london is this ar are y’all

are y’all gonna offer dr london a job i

gotta ask i feel like this

like he’d have to come in as an intern

at first obviously he has to like learn

the ropes

interested in i do i have one question

i have one question that will determine

whether or not

you are uh o’cut against material

and the question is this do you want to

go

where everybody knows your name yes

well uh for for yeah well like usually

you have an id that you wear

and your name will be generally you know

they’ll say

this is the the sergion who is

performing the surgery like people are

usually made well aware of who is doing

it

and if you have a team that you work

with regularly then

sure i would expect that um if so

but i feel like i do get that at you

know at my own

practice as well so

and cameron just to clarify here i don’t

know that i would want to work in this

particular

practice uh i i have a few reservations

about it

and i don’t don’t say you don’t want to

work for them

in an interview dr london i’m trying to

get you the job

yes oh you’re trying to pass them off

no i just think this would be a good

interesting field for him it sounds like

i mean if you’re able to retire back on

the yacht that you grew up in

i feel like this would be a great avenue

for dr london to sort of move towards

you know what there is uh you know after

the however many days it’s gonna take

uh for retirement to hit for for jamison

uh i believe is something around 65 68

something like that

um there will be a change in uh

in uh in the hierarchy here at

o’cottigan’s

we’re gonna we’re gonna lose our veteran

which means i’m gonna become the veteran

in our dishwash um

our um assistant

will be moving up to apprentice so we

are looking for a new bus

um uh um a new

a new uh assistant is this something

that would

interest you i don’t i don’t think so

because once again i am

you know i am a practicing physician

already so

i feel like assistant yeah he’s not

confident enough in his credentials

that’s yeah

when are you gonna stop practicing and

actually start working

[Music]

okay uh and is this is this you can put

in all the practice

hey they say practice makes uh perfect

but perfect ain’t [ __ ]

get to cutting

[Applause]

that is an old irish property okay

because i’ve i’ve heard it and i didn’t

want to

say it in case that was offensive maybe

if i said it it would have been

it depends on how you pronounce

circumcision i’ve got

i’ve got two questions dr lane can i ask

two more questions sure but then

i should remind you we have we do have a

chores to get

okay okay okay

question number one is five to seven

half off on the brown sterilization

liquid does that also include

uh the other kind of maybe the clear

liquids

sterilization liquids because i usually

do more of a

uh a darker liquid with coke typically

no no no mixed sterilization

no wine when he’s off when he’s out we

let it slide

but i’m a purist yeah

if i’m if i’m on my shift then yeah oh

so you’re one of those like

cash only only brown sterilization

liquid type of plastic i see what you’re

saying that’s right hey i can respect

that yeah

we need to we don’t want to you know

go through the whole rigmarole of having

a health inspector come in

because they don’t understand our our

business for our art

very few do and for them to be like oh

you know you can’t be

serving this here or you know you don’t

have a food license or

it’s just like okay can we just live

geez

yeah jeez that’s why i’m getting out of

the game

i mean you gotta have something to eat

to go with the brown sterilization

liquid dr london

well i don’t you normally don’t drink

that is

i guess my issue there well no that’s

half off between

five and seven get a couple of those bad

boys in your stomach i mean i’m gonna

need some

some chips and queso or no something to

snack on a little peanuts only

oh it’s just it’s a peanut only is this

part of the old school yeah they’re free

but you know peanuts for everybody we

will sometimes allow outside food i mean

there

there’s a great um there’s a really

great plastic surgery pizza place just

down the street so we allow the house

yeah it’s called pizza face okay and if

you’re looking for a place to get a good

uh cup of sterilization liquid uh you

know

hang out with some buddies watch the

game you know

maybe your favorite sports team like cut

into your penis yes

calm down

it’s a place where everyone’s gonna know

your name because you know

making your way in the world today it

takes everything you got

yeah and cheers to that but that is i

mean can i

can i do this again great well i feel

like that’s

as good a time as any to you know sort

of

finish up this portion because we really

uh i’m cameron

like i hate to say it but like we do

have chores that we have to get to

oh okay so i hate yeah so

okay so for for any listeners who are

unaware we um

basically we here at the jock talk

podcast have been putting off

chores we just have these assignments

that we just need to do

and we put them off for so long that now

it’s just a mountain of them so we

organize them into

uh spokes on a wheel so we spin the

wheel to find out

what the chore is for today now

the biggest slice of pizza on your wheel

is uh

to check out the big time garbage

podcast right yes

yes so it’s and that will be

added i get so okay so that’s another

chore to add great

more chores for the future so just

another thing to add to the damn list

it’s never gonna

never time garbage podcast great no it’s

uh

no we need more chores uh

okay hold on okay just spin the wheel

go ahead and spin the wheel london climb

up the ladder

and jump

all right it says build

the cyber truck oh i was like

okay all right so let me let me explain

this to the listeners

so i was playing bocce ball the other

day with elon musk

and we were well we were playing bocce

ball and then we were also

sending children into his uh kid-sized

submarines and we were kind of just

shooting them down into a tunnel

i don’t know where they went they did

not come back up but we were just joking

around and we were like

we were just like elon like what’s going

on with the cyber truck i know you

debuted this thing but what the hell is

going on with it

and he was like dude i’ve got no idea

but that’s your job now

so this is what we got to do and guys uh

uh

if you all can help as well if our

guests can help as well we’re just gonna

like

go through what features we want to see

in the cyber truck where you make a list

we’re going to design

the the most badass

truck imaginable number one is that is

that cool yeah i’d say number one

yeah yeah yeah no computers okay

i like it which because you don’t want

to be distracted playing like mine

sweeper or whatever the hell while

you’re trying to trigger

it although i could see that being

helpful depending on

where you’re driving but okay so no

computers

oh like if you were driving near a

a field with a lot of mines yeah do you

guys normally drive around those

minefields in a tesla truck in a cyber

truck i don’t know where i drive

you know that’s it’s it’s new territory

for me

that is true until we until we like

figure out what’s going to go on in this

truck because we don’t even know what

terrain it can work on yet

so i mean like the typical i mean like

all-terrain vehicle can sort of like

oh like go up hills and go up mountains

or whatever but like

how many cars can go straight into

lava so do we want that

i can’t think of a sink i can’t think of

a single one

i’m thinking of like ford focus i’m

thinking of like the buick lacrosse

and i know that these cars cannot

those are the only ones i’ve driven into

lava so i know for sure from first-hand

experience

have you tried the corolla they’re not

pretty sturdy have you driven that one

in the lava

oh okay i haven’t i mean i can get my

hands on

it may not be like such a cornered

market that but

i guess that should be a feature that we

should have still i still think a good

feature

no computer so we’re going to go

computerless right

lava proof just simple just simple all

right what else we’ve got to add to this

thing

i think and this is sort of just a

preference for me

uh no cup holders either

hell yeah brother i think there should

be a flask holder

one for flat yeah i do like that the

only liquids allowed

is booze how about that

in a flask no windshield fluid well yeah

we would need a computer to verify that

the liquid is

booze unfortunately maybe there could be

a guy in each cyber truck just to check

if it’s booze or not

that now that is an interesting idea and

this actually opens up an entire new

like sort of paradigm of features here

if we’re including like people coming

with the car

you know i’ve i’ve talked to elon musk a

couple times who actually did a um a

tesla logo on on hit on him

at the shop and and you know he

i know this as well anybody else he

loves to push those boundaries

he loves to say that’s not possible and

he’ll go

yes it is and so i don’t think this

would be a problem with him

well plus it would create jobs and

that’s you know

that’s really the end goal right and

especially like right now with covid19

going on and all this kind of stuff

i mean i think what better than to have

your car

shipped with a couple people inside

now i personally i drive a

2013 chevy cruze and i found

my favorite thing about this vehicle

that i don’t

see in a lot of other vehicles is

uh is a check engine light

uh it’s always on there it’s always on

and it’s always it’s always saying hey

check out the engine and it’s always

like things it is good to remember and

other cars you know that other cars just

don’t

have those or maybe they expect you to

remember it yourself that you’re

supposed to check the engine every once

in a while

yeah exactly so i would like to have a

light that indicates

hey hey maybe check in on your friends

that sounds like a computer

sounds like a computer to me so i think

if we could go around that

we could draw a picture of check engine

light on maybe his

palm or the bottom of his foot and he

holds it up

it’s not just one indicator light like

it’s got to be a

a lot of things indicating so maybe

there could be just like an artist

next to the booze checker that just kind

of sketches out uh hey

perfect no check on the wheel synergy

i’m actually gonna

maybe kind of give an opportunity for

you guys maybe instead of

a a typical old school

artist that uses you know a pen and

paper to draw the check engine light

why don’t we talk to a couple of

circumcision artists

who could maybe notch that bad boy into

the owners

schling schlong

i think this is all you because i’m

about to retire and i don’t think

there’s ever

the check the football light that comes

on in any cars

but is this some is this some this is

our car is this something we need to be

adding to it

check the football light like a check

the football light

check the basketball light check the

nike logo light these sort of

things will the light be through how

bright would light be because i assume

that they will wear you know

undergarments

you know and trousers and whatever so

i’m these are concerns that i have like

for the driver will this inconvenience

them will be uncomfortable at

any point it sounds like the culture

that you guys are from

is a lot different from what i what i’ve

come to know in terms of

private well maybe maybe instead of like

messing with what we’ve already come up

with we just give them comfort in

another area

okay they’re happy so what’s a what’s a

way that we can make our driver more

comfortable

you know what you know what really uh uh

something that bothers me about

my car and when i’m in other cars is i’m

just so annoyed by the radio do we need

to have speakers in there because to me

nothing beats live entertainment okay

yes yes yes yes so

we bring in a band well i was thinking

more like maybe if we could get jason

moraz

we could sort of get him in the mix i’m

sorry this might be a personal thing i

just don’t like music i’m not a big

music guy

i just don’t understand why there’s

speakers in my

truck and music is coming out and not a

guy speaking

okay would you rather have

um what if maybe like because i listen

to podcasts when i’m

driving around in my car like do you

think maybe we can get like a live

podcast

in each in each season you’re thinking

maybe try to get like an

ira glass inside of the cyber truck when

you purchase it

i think that would be a good idea that

would move a lot of units

i mean can we consolidate this can ira

glass be the alcohol checker and also

penis cutter that is

goes with you on your journey i don’t

know this is the kind of thinking that

elon loves

i love it and i know elon’s going to do

he’s going to freak

that’s a great idea that is a good idea

you take three mechanisms

get it down into one powerful

all right i mean we need to we just need

one more sort of like

something to take it home sometimes

we can put on the commercial truck beds

in the front

truck bed there it is there it is fellas

truck bed is in the front

so you’d see all the goods you got and

always keep an eye on your stuff

that’s amazing and you know if you’re

moving something bigger like a mattress

or something like that

you can sort of like appreciate hey you

know what

look at look at the stuff that i’ve

earned throughout my life yeah

look at how in the way this is i like

that your example was a mattress because

yes every time i’m moving a mattress i’m

thinking

look at what i’ve done i finally made it

wait do you have a truck with a truck

bed in the front of the truck

no how do you do okay so you drive in

reverse when you move

there are other ways to look at

mattresses okay yes

i guess that is true all right i mean i

think we can sort of wrap a bow on this

thing yeah

all right we’re just gonna send it over

to

i don’t know the car maker place is that

like

you don’t you don’t have direct contact

with elon at any given time it’s he

contacts you

not after the bocce ball game i’ll tell

you that yeah he

completely so we’ll have to i mean we’ll

have to figure that out in a

sort of roundabout way i guess but all

right i think we got it

hell yeah well hey thanks so much for

having us on

on you on the program uh if you’re in

the redford michigan area and you’re

looking for a trim

come by o’connegans and uh yeah he’ll be

leaving

had a cyber truck so you can

uh you wouldn’t have to drive it home uh

where

don’t live in the area if they want to

question is this

do you want to go where everybody knows

[Music]

cotton get the cotton get the corn

get to cotton get to cotton

takes everything

[Music]

get to cotton

[Music]

[Music]

no

my name is dr londonsmith.com and this

has been

the jock doc podcast see ya

[Music]

get to cotton

get to cotton you reach out hesitantly

and grab the baton the hand that was

holding it

immediately lets go as the hands owner

leans over

panting you hold the baton in front of

you

amazed at how shiny and cylindrical

this mysterious object is the crowd’s

chanting was once very recently

very affirming but now seems to be

changing in tone to angry yelling and

booing

but you cannot take your gaze from the

baton’s allure

you hear the words not stir up

in the wind distantly as your coach runs

up and snaps his fingers in front of

your face multiple times to get your

attention

and by golly it works you look into his

cold blue eyes

as he stares past yours into your soul

we talked about this remember he asks

the depths of your spirit when they pass

you the baton

it’s your turn to run that’s what makes

it a relay race

please just run you laugh and you hug

him

pretending to understand seeing him

staring impatiently at the baton

you realize what he must want so you

hand it to him

and in a confusing turn of events he

seems even more frustrated

but this is where you draw the line you

do not

tolerate bad vibes so you back away

slowly at first but then you start

picking up your pace and running

back the way you came good vibes only

leave a five star review of the jock

70: Churg-Strauss Syndrome/Sheila Dawn

Hey kids you’re about to listen to a

comedy podcast see

that means that none of this is medical

advice okay

so if you need medical advice or medical

care please contact your doctor

welcome to the jock doc podcast

featuring

dr london smith can you

smell what the jock is cooking nope me

neither

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 would like to begin by apologizing to

our listeners

we have received some feedback about the

excessive amount of technical medical

terms that i’ve been using

such as angular stomatitis and

pizzazz so i’ll try to temper my

terminology to a simpler one in the

future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron

oh hey what’s up

hey did you sound kind of

i don’t know did you just wake up or

no i didn’t just wake up but just sort

of like uh

this is kind of who i am i guess you

haven’t seen me

in the last few days so you probably

don’t know that i

became goth between the last time i saw

you and

now i’m goth now cameron’s goth

okay so i’m kind of

um you know not like

over it because that that’s more like a

sarcastic type thing which i’m not into

it’s just more like i don’t care because

like i don’t care about

cause like what’s the point and like i

have a lot more like vocal fry

like when i talk yeah uh

so you know that you know that goths

traditionally

will wear dark clothing and like

dark makeup and black makeup yes that’s

why i’m wearing

a little clown attire well yeah i mean

if you notice like the colors of the

clown outfit are kind of a darker blue

and that’s the darkest item of clothing

i have because almost everything else i

own is either white

or um you know sort of like a bright um

or a pastel kind of color so i kind of

had to settle for the

for the clown outfit and then you know i

had to make the makeup match

but uh yeah

so that’s just to me the image is a

little jarring because

like i get the tone that you’re you’re

putting out

and whenever you said this is the the

new me i thought you meant like you were

going to be an entertainer and go to

kids parties

uh like because i don’t really

understand the point

of entertaining when

all it’s doing is masking people’s pain

and masking kind of the like real messed

up stuff that’s going on in this world

that’s what entertainment is man

i mean is

like a fun like hippie guy because you

can’t accept me for who i

am okay you’re you’re saying this but

you’re also

juggling bowling ball pins

at the same time and i see

okay you’re doing the balloon animals as

well yeah

yeah but look at the animal what’s the

animal dr london

what is it uh i get

is it a snake or is it a worm it’s a

worm the most goth of

animals

okay is this just because you don’t know

how to like make a balloon animal

nah man it’s a worm

okay it’s the most goth animals that

exist

dude why don’t you get off my back

bro denied

okay no and that’s such that’s great and

i

you know i like that we are exploring a

new side of you

even though okay like you can you don’t

need to

ride that very very small tricycle

around while we record

oh so if i’m not if i don’t conform and

like have like uh

just a normal mountain bike that’s well

you know it’s not uh

it’s not good enough for you because it

has to be like some sort of like

arbitrary standards that

you know are just social constructs and

have like no point like whatsoever

like oh i’m not on a i don’t even know a

brand of bike who knows brands of bikes

how pathetic would you have to be to

know a brand of a bike

well why why are you riding a bike right

now i guess is really the

like any kind of bike i don’t really see

because we’re just recording a podcast

maybe that’s what you’re doing man but

i’m just trying to like

not do anything because everything is

pointless

well um so that’s that’s our producer

cameron uh also with us

is due to doing the hoes

[Music]

real messed up stuff that’s going on in

this world

you don’t need to make a

[Music]

that’s what entertainment is

[Music]

and later cameron tells him that we can

expect a special guest

sponsor yeah i mean i guess

yeah so so look forward to that that’s

special if you’re comparing

you know pointless thing next to another

pointless thing then yeah maybe sure

it’s special i guess

in in this instance i with

relative to your current world of view

yeah

yeah i guess i am um but before we move

on i would like to address a bit of

listener feedback

i found this note written on the paper

mache that was wrapped around my torso

when i woke up this morning

note reads quote i heard you lost two

fingers at the river are you feeling

better

end quote um so

so first of all uh thank you for asking

that question of the jock talk podcast

to answer your question okay well

actually i’ve first i just don’t

understand

how i was paper mached without my

knowledge or consent overnight

while i was asleep uh there was no sign

of forced entry

i like i don’t because i woke up like

that

and it because my paper mache it starts

out wet so

you can just like wake up however you

want and that’s fine

but like when i wake up like this and

this is who i am now you can’t get off

my back about it

well it looks like you didn’t wake up

like it looks like you look back about

it it took a lot of work

you know okay back about it

okay uh so to answer this listener’s

question um as

as for my two fingers it turns out that

i didn’t lose them

they were just uh covered up by a

blanket so

this is actually an example of how the

more likely answer

often is the right answer i got rid of

my blankets

all of them say what

okay first of all they weren’t a dark

color at all

they were really bright and second of

all like

you know why like i’m just gonna like

lay in bed with

like a blankets and stuff and there’s

like people in this world who like don’t

even have

um you know they can even buy like a

shoes and i’m supposed to just be like

oh okay yeah this

is fine this blanket is probably

produced in like

a factory and i’m just supposed to be

like okay

no i’d rather just like sleep in the

cold because like who cares like what’s

the point

it’s actually honestly it’s more

comforting for me to like sit there

without a blanket and it’d be cold

yeah because i guess you only have your

carnival tent at this point

yeah it’s not even like a tent because i

can’t i can’t

keep it on the ground so it’s kind of

more like an umbrella

technically i guess right like

i i’m not really familiar enough to

like you you’re the goth so i guess you

would know more about clown

tents than i would or circus tents yeah

i’m just saying like if you if the ten

if

a tent that’s not on the ground

and is like being suspended above the

ground is essentially an umbrella

okay yeah is just a tent

that is in the sky okay

okay i guess that that’s maybe that’s

insightful i’m not

um anyway to this listener thank you for

listening

now for today’s medical topic church

strauss syndrome

keurig strauss syndrome is a

granulomatous vasculitis that is seen in

patients with

asthma the itis in that

you know vasculitis it indicates

inflammation so this condition

involves an inflammation of blood

vessels the way i remember the name

church strauss syndrome is that an

asthmatic patient

they’ll sometimes describe their

condition as feeling like breathing

through a straw

so church strauss syndrome in my mind

sounds kind of like

chugging a straw so church strauss

syndrome

typically presents with pulmonary

infiltrates rash

and eosinophilia and of course

eosinophilia refers to an increased

number of immune cells called

eosinophils and i mean like all this

stuff that you’re even like

talking about you’re you know it’s just

like this is what

life is is just disease and

you said rashes and straws

having to drink through a straw

right so it’s kind of like what like i

don’t even understand the point of

trying to be a doctor why not you know

what you know what would help

a patient more than being treated is

they go into the doctor’s office and

they’re like oh my stomach hurts so much

and you tell them yeah man life’s not

fair

and like be real with like be actually

be real with them

none of my doctors have ever been like

real with me you know what i mean

well they’ve have they just given you

the actual prognosis

yeah they just like they just they just

tell me like you have

uh like mouth and foot syndrome like

your mouth is stuck in your foot

and i’m like okay but what like i’m not

even talk i’m not even talking about

that what about like actually being real

with me like as a person

you know what i mean okay so

you’re just wanting more holistic

medicine is what you’re referring to

and yeah that that does depend on the

doctor some of them

whatever i don’t care okay

you’re the okay not me

all right well um so systemic vasculitis

may result in skin

muscle and nerve lesions uh it is also

associated with

the paranuclear anti-neutrophilic

cytoplasmic antibody

otherwise known as pianka or mpo anchor

and treatment is with systemic

glucocorticoids

all right uh cameron you said that we

have a a guest sponsor okay so y’all

know how the bone garden is failing

i’m only having first-time visitors yeah

that’s

yeah that’s right folks our guest

is sheila dawn

[Applause]

hey sheila okay um so

things are changing i’m sorry you know

the pandemic

has been a little bit crazy of a time

probably tough on business

yeah because you know a lot of my

business is based off of traveling and

people are not too thrilled with

you know traveling around state to state

city to city person to person you know

people aren’t too thrilled with that

right now so

what should we do mm-hmm singing loud

songs together yeah holding hands before

you introduce

whatever you’re about to introduce uh we

need to introduce you

because you’ve you’ve had kind of a

history

on the show yes well if you feel it’s

necessary

sure so this is sheila don who first

came to us to promote her road kill

meat sales yes she would she would grill

up the meat and sell it

she was making a sort of jerky type meal

out of animals that she found on the

side of the road i think roadkill is

maybe

uh a bit of a judgmental phrasing it’s

it’s found food

found meat that’s the new trend is like

scavenged food

exactly yeah foraging so you know that’s

a big

popular thing nowadays she had that

business

and then i think the last time she was

on

she talked about how she had expanded it

to

she had all these bones left over from

that so she opened up this bone garden

and if i remember correctly uh she would

only have one visitor at each time which

it sounds like it’s still the same

problem

because she would

kill them whenever they entered the bone

garden

well they would die they would never

leave the bone garden

i think placing blame is maybe a again

you’re just being really judgmental

towards our guest dr london sheila i am

so sorry

i don’t really even hear dr london

anymore so i’m kind of just waiting

for you know whenever his lips stop

moving

yeah it’s best to just zone him out

don’t understand half the words he’s

saying anyway so

it’s fine it’s usually know and stop

that

and get out of there right those are

most of the things that he’s saying

why did you trick me into eating this

yeah

i didn’t want to eat monkeys yeah you

know rare monkeys

so yeah i mean i just can’t i’m

what’s that smell i’ve never smelled

anything like it

yeah so all this i just can’t i can’t

hear them anymore

but in any case the last time sheila

dawn came on

um believed it was very focused on a

specific animal which was

the the hunt for the easter bunny and

there was a very complicated

plan to hunt down the easter bunny um

which i don’t know i uh

it didn’t really make sense to me anyway

we can i just wanted to

let the listeners know and they can go

back and listen to one of these episodes

if they want to

but here is sheila dawn

is he done oh yeah i’m so sorry i should

probably tell you when he starts talking

and stops talking

yeah he said a bunch of stuff he was

talk telling our audience about the

whole easter bunny thing but yeah he’s

done

we want to hear from you sheila why are

you here today like i said the pandemic

has just kind of been

not too nice to you know people who live

my type of lifestyle traveling around

mm-hmm yeah but there is kind of a

silver lining and that is that

you know me and ron we are tired of

burning up the roads

wow where are you guys going to go you

know we’ve got our trailer

you know we’ve got our deep freezer so

we’ve parked it

in the parking lot of our new business

endeavor and that is the

meat shack slash

sassy country boutique

[Applause]

come on down to sheila dawn’s

sassy country boutique

[Music]

oh um i’m sorry

just one moment uh you mentioned uh

ron can you remind me who ron is

someone you’re working with

is he done i keep forgetting that you

can’t hear him yeah he wants to know

who who is ron well cameron you know ron

he’s with me when i’m picking up my

monkey meat

oh yeah my husband ron well you probably

think he’s

old you probably think he’s my son

because he’s only four foot lead

well yeah and i call him ol ronnie yeah

oh little ronnie yeah

but in any case so so you’ve got this

new

place it’s like the check meet chat

slash

what how how did you describe it country

girl boutique sciencey country boutique

sassy country boutique well that sounds

i mean that sounds

amazing if you’ve got long bangs

and the back of your hair is short

[Music]

i mean can you give me a preview of what

i’m like

you know let’s say when i walk in when i

walk in it i’m i’m there on a

on a sunday afternoon and i don’t know

when i walk in

you’re going to want to sit down you’re

going to want to eat what’s placed in

front of you and you’re going to not

want to ask what it is and you probably

shouldn’t really investigate too closely

about what it is or kind sniff around or

just kind of eat it okay

just put it in your mouth and swallow it

okay that’s what

that’s what it is and that’s what’s

going to be yep what but what’s the

boutique part of it

so the boutique is just kind of my

leftover skins that i’ve just kind of

made you know i’ve got a little area for

masks and stuff and

um so wait wait wait are you you’re

using

animal skins to make like covet masks

right masks boots

uh bedazzled tops um

long sandals yeah i mean we’ve got

everything yeah

that does sound like everything that

sounds like everything i would want

if i was at a meat check for sure so

historically i i rarely like i’ve never

been to a place that labeled itself as a

meat shack

is this the the same sort of road

kill meat that you’ve peddled elsewhere

or is this something new

so dr london is wanting to know

if the meat that you’re you know serving

how do i say this in a less rude way

than he said it is it

is it found foraged meat from the side

of the road

similar to your previous endeavors or is

this something else well like i said a

big part of this

is don’t ask what kind of meat it is um

don’t look at it too

closely and don’t uh really smell of it

too much um just come in and sit down

and put the meat

in your mouth all your promotional

promotional material it even says kind

of a big like do not ask

don’t ask about it don’t think about it

too hard

definitely don’t sniff it just ate it

the death

definitely is underlined twice just eat

it okay

sheila’s meat shack just eat it i do

appreciate this kind of attitude and

this sort of

current climate and our current

uh you know instant gratification

culture everyone’s got a yelp review

right like everyone goes to the bank and

they’re like uh two stars

atm was too slow and it’s like hey why

don’t you actually be

happy with what’s being given to you

here’s a plate

of something that stinks like hell

and definitely shouldn’t be that color

why are you

questioning it well my first problem

with that is how do you even know what

it smells like if one of the rules is

don’t be smelling around

exactly you shouldn’t even be sniffing

it in the first place

yeah so and i think if we can all

respect those rules and

you know we’ve been talking a lot lately

about like uh you know all these people

don’t want to respect

rules of the establishment you know they

go to a place that says hey put a mask

on and they’re saying no no i don’t want

to

but guys can we not honor the request of

the establishment in this case

don’t look at it too hard keep your face

away from it don’t touch it with your

skin

put it in your mouth and eat it put it

in your mouth and eat it

i mean i’m totally fine if you don’t

want to wear shoes

if you don’t want to wear a shirt i mean

we offer service for that but if you’re

going to be

investigating too close if you’re going

to be asking too many questions that’s

where we draw the line

so i mean if you’re tasting the food too

much

instead of just trying to shove it down

your throat past your tongue

right that’s going to be a problem yeah

and ron’s not going to let you stick

around so

well when you say that dr you draw the

line

here little old or is it old run or a

little

i think it’s old little ron uh yes that

he’ll he’ll take care of it

is there is there a threat implied that

yeah what does that what does that mean

when

um little ronnie is gonna take care of

you and not gonna

not gonna let you poke around too much

is it is he

is this a threat is he gonna well i mean

my ron don he you know he’s my not

shining armor you know okay he’s not

gonna oh that’s so cute

really like if people are talking down

on shayla’s so the second he hears

something he’s gonna walk over with his

little steel toed boots

and he’s just gonna kind of tap tap tap

tap tap tap tap

until you leave tap your is that like

is that tapping on your toes is that why

you’re encouraging people to not wear

shoes

so you can kind of like stomp on them a

little bit with the

these steel-toed boots well i mean the

culture of our restaurant um

yeah lends to that yeah we kind of

worked ourselves into this angle so that

we can just kind of

fly under the radar yeah that completely

makes sense to me

that’s a big part of the meech back

slash

slash the country boutique okay if

you’ve got

kids named tatum peyton

you’re going to love this asset country

boot tick let me tell you do you mean

like

that you have name plates there for

those for those names is that what you

mean

or definitely a little magnets little uh

you know oh you heard that question

well money talks

oh okay because it’s about the business

and making that

sweet moolah suddenly your ears perk up

i get that i respect that

you’re an entrepreneur i’m a big dog

oh you’re a big dog so you said you you

sell name plates for

payton and who was the other one titum

tatum and so you have those two name

plates mason

brixley that type of thing braxton

kylie kim chloe i’ve got skin name

plates

um i’ve got uh they’re made out of yeah

different skins

um i’ve got uh skin jewelry i’ve got

um skin hats you seem to

have a very specific clientele in mind

right like you’re talking about

they have bangs and short hair in the

back and

and love like sequins who are you

like uh trying to appeal to like

what kind of person well i don’t want to

get too specific because i don’t want to

narrow down my business

to just one type of person but i do know

that i do have a genre that does like

the type of

things that i sell so of course you know

they they know who they are

and who you democrats how would you

describe those people more

you’ve already described leather child

pageant dresses

um i’ve got

and this isn’t like black leather tiara

tan

a lot of leather beauty pageant stuff

freshly tanned skins you know just the

type of stuff that

my type of people like that’s all that i

really need to say about that

yeah okay it sounds like you’ve got

something

figured out i mean are you guys

successful are you making

money well we’re just we’re just getting

started you know we kind of had a

grieving period of saying goodbye to our

long time of

you know tearing up the roads but uh

yeah you know i guess

because before it was more of like a

food truck right

right it was gathering food directly and

just

hunking in into the deep fryer and just

passing it out i mean it was a jubilee

yeah years of jubilee looking back um

when did you open up we kind of just

started within the last month yeah

within

i mean we’re gonna our grand openings

next week so we’ve been working hard

this last month i mean we’re ready wow

yeah and so when you come you actually

were right next to this really beautiful

uh kind of garden

uh is very interesting very intricate

and

uh just for walking in the door of the

meat shack you get a

half off admission to the garden

oh oh no i mean that sounds like a huge

appeal to me i mean the you’re

you’re because there’s so much to do in

one area get something to eat

uh get something get it out for the

boutique yeah and then

get go to your eternal

bliss you know when when you say

that you have a garden you aren’t

referring to your bone garden are you

dr london wants to know when you’re

talking about your garden

are you talking about the bone garden

that we’ve discussed

earlier oh yeah um i’m talking about

yeah the bone garden yeah

um it’s great yeah i’m sorry i thought

that was obvious

i don’t know why i repeated that to dr

london or repeated what dr london said

because

it was already clear but uh

i mean honestly this sounds great to me

dr lynn do you have any objections to

this i don’t understand you’re like you

seem real hesitant to

get involved here yeah well for one

thing

it’s the very first thing that sheila

said

on this episode was that she

has the problem only one person or like

people only come to the

bone garden once so

and this is a problem that she’s had

from the beginning because

people die when they enter that place

they can only enter

once so you’re saying that would affect

the business for the meat check as well

i see

i understand that well i’m i’m saying

more the murder

the murders so sheila what dr london’s

wondering is

before you’ve had issues uh in that a

lot of the people

who visited your bone garden in the past

could only visit once right

you didn’t have a mini return guest so

wouldn’t encouraging

your guests at the meat shack when you

run into the same problem i mean you’re

gonna want

repeat customers at the meat check right

well i guess that’s secondary

um really the bone garden’s been and

will always be

my main focus uh so the meat shack is

kind of

just a stop on the way if you will

so i mean this is kind of interesting

because before you were talking about

your food truck and

you know you would come across food

found food and then you’d huck it in the

back but now you guys aren’t driving

around you’re not

moving around so you’re probably not

running into a lot of animals that you

find right so

are you harvesting the the meat that

you’re

serving from the uh bone garden

do your customers be it’s not it’s not

me asking

no this that was me i’m sorry uh what

was that dr london

so oh if i’m being ignored now

yes okay i was i think i got too close

to the

okay wow this does not feel good

so to to repeat cameron’s question which

is a question of my own and

to put it more simply i think is the

meat check

the meat from there does that come from

the flesh of those who have entered your

bone garden

do people who eat there become

the future meal

you have to you have to repeat that to

her dr london she’s not gonna sorry

do people who eat there become the

future meal well you know there is a

cycle to life

um yes can you say

that you’re your future meal if you know

the bacteria that’s eating you

grow something new and you know you use

that to make something that fuels you

um you know this world is an ecosystem

and this

uh you know cycle of life it’s

really amazing that is really amazing

and you know

now that i think about it you know they

say that every cell in your body

changes over every like seven years

right like you’re an entirely new human

every seven years

and so yeah maybe i’m shedding skin

cells or whatever

but what if my chemical makeup that

makes me me

instead of turning into something

similar to me instead turns into

a um like a chicken fried steak type

meal okay so here isn’t that still

is that just a new version of me dr

london this is incredible

here’s here’s the issue i’m seeing is

that

sheila don seems to have avoided the

answering the question directly

which is i mean to put it more simply

the question’s really

is she feeding human flesh

from those who enter her bone garden is

she feeding that

to uh patrons of her restaurant

the meat shack and the fact that she’s

dodging the question does make me

suspicious that perhaps i’m not dodging

anything

you are what you eat i’ll leave it at

that

[Music]

[Applause]

[Laughter]

oh my gosh dude you got schooled

i that’s not the impression that i got

there i feel like jesus oh sheila

dodge the question again man sheila you

are awesome

so uh

can i get a little bit more of that

though

oh definitely i brought this on as

promotional i thought you guys would

fall in love with this food that you

don’t really look at that you

don’t just try to swallow as quickly as

possible yeah yeah here’s some

water you could probably just if you

just kind of swallow that

yeah with the water why is it that’s a

lot of

things floating in that water okay

i’m trying to eat it as fast as i can

okay

okay well i can i can smell it coming i

didn’t mean to

i’m trying to close the container so you

can’t smell it we’re not supposed to

smell it

okay now isn’t there something in your

stomach

but there is there’s something in my

stomach and

um i feel like a stronger man because of

it

okay let me take a picture and then i’m

gonna put it on the facebook i’m gonna

say

he just ate it yeah go ahead

okay all right that’s gonna look good

can i tag you uh yeah sure i’m listed on

there as

uh dr london smith all right

i’m gonna put on here about uh if you

come in you immediately get a free

ticket to the bone garden because that’s

a draw

wow so it dropped from from 50

off to now for free this is a huge deal

our listeners

our listeners need to take advantage of

this well

just saturday just saturday just

saturday they can get it free with a

if they buy a meal and if they buy i

don’t know what’s another kind of item

that might be in your boutique shop

uh probably a skin outfit

you know okay that that does bring up a

question what

what question you got so

you said a skin outfit what i’m

wondering is

you’ve kind of dodged the question of

is it human meat being served to people

i’m wondering is it human skin that’s

being sold to people

no it is not human scanned

okay fishes okay rats sand

my illegal monkeys that i got from

cameron

yep we trade them

okay so this is you already have a

surplus of those because of cameron’s

side

illegal exotic animal i mean you throw

around all these

uh you know you throw around all these

assumptions about me because i’m

southern i know

i can tell um and you don’t take into

account that i have plenty of vendors

okay cameron’s one of them do you know

how many

monkeys and giraffes and zebras

he’s got up in his attic right now

enough to feed 20 people for a year

okay and they’re they’re meeting he

doesn’t even fix him because he knows

nope well i

i do want to butt in here so i forgot

to let the exterminator know that they

were up there so currently i do have

zero living uh animals

in my attic but i had i st i definitely

have

20 years of food in the freezer yeah

um yeah and one other little point

uh cause you mentioned the rats so

cameron has this odd thing of

both um heavy emphasis on his exotic

creatures but also

heavy emphasis on vermin

the import and export of you know rats

and

hamsters yeah and

mostly rats honestly it seems like um

and i feel like my guess is you know

there’s not as much money in that

not as much money in what in rats

like as opposed to a giraffe or

something like

is are you just saving them up in case

there’s there’s a market for it oh

you’re talking to me

yeah yeah oh no i i’m not even worried

about that part yet

so i i don’t think that far ahead this

i i get where you’re coming from you’re

a planner you’re a guy who has to have

you you

you know you start monday morning by

saying what’s what am i gonna do

every second of every day this week

uh let me uh let me uh make all of my

meals right now and then just

split them up nah man i live in the

moment i betty meal preps

i bet he eats brown rice i know he eats

brown rice

london yeah i’ve acquired a lot of

rodents

what am i doing with them i’ll know in

the moment

okay i just you know it’s just one of

those things

if you had been acquiring them on their

own that would have been weird but the

fact that you were

i guess were previously acquiring the

very exotic animals

but you seem to be posting about each of

them

like each type equally like promoting

them so i

anyway i wasn’t sure um

in any case so now we have this

uh this meat shack and this

bone garden still uh and you said your

problem

what is your problem with the you keep

coming back to it and keep being like

well it’s a huge problem

you i know what you have a problem with

a woman who’s created a successful

business

he’s totally threatened by me you’re

threatened by her yeah it’s laughable

i mean i do understand i’m a woman who’s

six foot seven okay i understand

that men sort of physically cower to me

as well as kind of they just kind of

lose their spirits around me because i

just am such a massive

conquering woman really yeah i mean

that’s what it is

well i mean the amount of skins that you

wear

just normally if we were in the old

times

where you know it was kind of like i was

a viking and i was covered in skins you

would not be like

oh you’re a weird person you would be

terrified

you would be shaking let me get out of

the way for this

warrior right but now because we live in

these little snowflake

times everyone’s like oh sheila is so

strange you walk around with one skin

and then suddenly you have a doctor

being like

oh but are you feeding people human meat

and it’s like oh my gosh go away

just move back to california where you

came from okay

yeah it was just the fact that like

because you’ll you’ll wear

you know a giant sort of buffalo head

covering and as

and on top of that a lion’s head

covering

full skin well in the summer time too

like to the stores or whatever to the

markets i’m showing my many victories

all right yeah and like

it’s i just find it to be you find it

odd because you don’t understand the

warrior’s mindset

and you don’t understand the mindset of

success he could never that’s why i

mostly just block him out nowadays

yeah there’s no point in even listening

to him he that he he refuses to

acknowledge

that yeah stacking a bunch of heads on

top of your head

might be an awesome power move he

doesn’t want to admit that because then

he loses

and that’s what al that’s all that

doctors care about is winning

we know that’s right what plans do you

have in the future what’s next for

sheila dawn like

are you gonna ever expand the restaurant

maybe kind of make a chain out of it i

mean what are your future plans

we’ll just have to see how it goes uh

right now i’m just gonna kind of slow

down a little bit enjoy my life with ron

don

you know we’ve been burning up the roads

and

we’re just getting kind of in our old

age

and i’ve had many victories i’ve had a

lot of

i’ve conquered a lot of land that we’re

just kind of ready to

build a city out of build our own little

utopia

so oh okay

so wait that the eventual goal is to

have sort of like uh

your own utopian community

well i don’t really like to discuss my

next moves

um you know this is kind of a long term

thing so i really don’t

that’s that’s fine i’m not sure that i

particularly needed to know that

anyway so it’s okay to to not move into

that

what what we do need to do though um

we we have some chores to do

why do you have to bring that up dr

london being such a party pooper

we’re having a good time talking about

this great new business and now we got

to do a bunch of chores

but you were just right we’ve been

putting it off

we’ve been putting i’m just taking on my

frustration on you you’re right i know

you’re right

uh for those who don’t know so for the

last

few weeks now um we’ve been trying to

complete a chore every single week we’ve

we have all of these tasks on our to-do

list

all of these chores that we need to get

done and so we’re just trying to

keep it simple do one a week get it out

of the way

never think about it again and so we’ve

created this fun chore wheel that we’re

gonna spin

and uh we’re just gonna do whatever’s on

it

so dj dylan can you go ahead and just

spin that to our wheel yes

[Music]

okay it landed on

[Music]

interrogate each other to establish

alibis

in the murder of captain floppy

which is of course is the celebrity fish

uh so um i guess we can

this was well i mean let’s explain so

the

sheriff of uh the local sheriff has been

um kind of at his wit’s end in this

investigation

so a very famous celebrity fish

um floppy the fish unfortunately was

murdered

uh earlier in the year and you know

floppy was beloved by many

and he had his own tv shows and his own

albums you know number one albums that

gone platinum and

um he unfortunately

the because of covet it’s made

investigations and interrogating people

very very difficult and unfortunately

uh the three of us me dr london

and our guest sheila don are kind of

suspects in this case

which i mean i think it’s kind of

ridiculous but we kind of

are and since the police can’t

interrogate us

they said they sent us a at-home

interrogation kit

and we’re gonna interrogate each other

establish our alibi

and then send that back to them and then

we can be just like done with it

or you know maybe not establish an alibi

and maybe discover that one of us is

guilty

if someone is it’s not me but it could

be

the doctor anyway i’m just ready to get

this over with

it’s been hanging over our heads for too

long i know i mean okay

let’s let’s get this over with i i want

to be done with it too

yeah no i’m pretty sick of it

you want me to start yeah go ahead okay

who are you interrogating uh yeah yeah

so um i’ll interrogate

you know what cameron i’ll interrogate

you

that’s fine i don’t mind nothing to hide

no and

you know and just to start out

so you guys know i’m actually innocent

well so i just want to establish you

know and obviously i want to establish

that i am innocent as well because i’m

innocent

and i can’t necessarily trust what other

people say but i

can trust that i’m in i’m innocent right

okay and um anyway so okay let me just

read off the

thing here okay so you’re reading off

how to

interrogate

yeah first step um say hello

hello hey hey next card

um next man when are you gonna let me go

okay i’ll skip a few okay so um

what were you doing between

7 p.m and 4 30

a.m on the night of

may 32 31st sorry

31st man i was 20 20. i wasn’t doing

anything i was just fishing

uh you were fishing yeah

that’s it i was just trying to catch

some fish

that’s it did you did you succeed in

catching a fish nope

couldn’t get a bite couldn’t couldn’t

find a single fish

nothing bit tried everything tried

bobbers

tried um using

other fish as bait tried using like

cookies as bait

tried shining a flashlight on the fish

trying to make him think it was the sun

and then trying to being like jump into

the sunfish

and then i was going to try to grab him

nothing worked okay

that’s all i did that whole time

okay um i guess that

and that was until 4 30 in the morning

yep

you spent a full what five

nine nine and a half hours trying to

fish

i spent a lot more than that but it

includes those hours yeah

all right so yeah i guess that’s it so i

guess

we’ve cleared cameron’s alibi he has

innocent

and can the i don’t know can the fish

vouch for you that

that that’s what you were doing or

um i think uh you could

ask the fish but you you know they’re

liars

so and they don’t have great vision so

they might not have even

seen me so even if they didn’t see me

that doesn’t necessarily mean that i

wasn’t there

but even if they uh if they saw everyone

else that was there if there was like

some

other people there um you gotta remember

they’re liars

fish lie okay

okay um all right who’s who’s next uh i

think i

am going to interrogate sheila

okay um because i i gotta be honest i

got some questions

okay now sheila you uh

you famously work a lot with animals

don’t you

correct now i want to know where were

you on the night

of may 31st from

let’s say 7 00 p.m to

5 a.m

oh let me call ron

hold on okay

hi this is fine right wrong they can

just make phone calls in the middle of

it

remember when we went to key west

right wait oh

isn’t that isn’t that where captain

floyd we were on the house boat yeah

yeah that was funny yeah

well baby i love you too ron thanks for

answering your phone i’ll talk to you

later okay sweetie

okay i love you okay uh ron said we’ve

never been to key west so i cannot

remember

i don’t remember my you said but i

didn’t ask if you’ve been to key west i

asked

where were you on may 31st well i know

that i was not in key west

no can you remember at all what you were

that’s where i thought that i was so now

that that’s

ruled out i can’t recall so i mean may

31st it’s a sunday

nothing you can’t recall a single thing

and you know this isn’t good for you in

an interrogation like it’s

it’s better if you can have an alibi i

would argue the opposite that the fact

that i am so nonchalant about this

proves that i do not care enough to be

worried

okay so i would say it is my alibi that

i don’t

remember and i don’t care to remember

and i don’t know

i gave you the answer i was not in key

west so

okay so you weren’t in key west and

honestly i feel like if you did

murder someone that day you would

remember it i remember what i was doing

you’d remember what you were doing that

day but you can’t remember what you were

doing that day

so there’s no way that you could have

been the murderer right

exactly that’s what i’m thinking i let

me ask

i’m gonna ask one more question and um

just be truthfully honest

i noticed you brought all these leather

items from your boutique

right there’s specifically over here

a a tiny leather captain’s hat

that says floppy

kinda embroidered on it what is uh where

did this come from what’s that about

probably just came from the gift shop i

don’t know

it probably came from your own gift shop

that you own

i guess but you don’t know

it doesn’t look familiar is there a skew

number on it

i have a very specific skew number

system

so if it has a skew number on it that

matches my

system then yeah it’s from

my gift shop okay

well i mean that’s a solid answer i

can’t dr london

looks like you have something to say

given that sheila has such a murderous

history

in general and that she has there he

goes again

throwing around assumptions about me

because i’m southern

yeah i think this is liable dr london

you can’t be saying

such definitive things like this i mean

keep going dr

london you are only giving me more

fodder let me tell you

yeah you’re just increasing the amount

of money we’re going to have to give her

when she sues us

i’ve got my lawyers

she also has in her gift shop

a captain’s hat with the embroidered

name of

the you know the victim in question

um that she cannot vouc she can’t say

where that came from

and i’m going to i mean to me

to me this tells me i think i’ve heard

enough i think i’ve heard enough i think

sheila must be innocent

again i have to go back to the fact that

if she did something wrong she would

remember it

correct okay sheila let me

see dylan can you give me like some sort

of sound effect that

identifies that she’s innocent yes

all right so now um i guess the only

thing we have left to do is um

sheila you’re gonna interrogate uh our

own dr london i

can’t wait to see this finally this

guy’s getting

questioned i see the beads of sweat

no more secrets coming down your

forehead dr

london i’ma get you do you see this

lying on my head yeah do you see the

boys head on that lines head

imma get you dr london

okay

are you quivering in your boots yet

no no these are uh these are converses

dr london i’ve only got one question to

ask you

[Music]

okay have you ever been to key west

florida have you ever had lunch at

margaritaville yes are you are you doing

the inve

because i thought that one question

would be like what was i doing on may

31st between

7 pm and 4 30 a.m is that not

what is that not why are you avoiding

the question this hard

no i said yes stop trying to avoid the

question

have you had lunch there yes well i’m

ready to call it i mean it’s clear as

day that london is guilty

he said he had lunch at margaritaville

in key west what more do we need to know

yeah i mean we know you haven’t been to

key west

and we know that i haven’t been to key

west because they won’t let me back

there

so you you have been to key west then

i it

so what i did was while flying

over key west and so to say i’ve been

there would be wrong

but i am banned there banned

from going there does that make sense

from flying over

or from visiting by land all all of it

okay so they’ll just flag you no matter

what yeah okay

um okay so you

have been over key west

why are you avoiding the question of

where why are you avoiding the question

i feel like i answered so could i could

i give the answer to

that’s what i’m asking on that that’s

what sheila dawn just asked

i i’m sorry you know maybe that’s my

fault i didn’t hear that

like the question so what was i doing on

may 31st from 7 pm to 4 30 a.m

how do you know the time and date

i have the same interrogation cards that

you do you got gotcha

do you want me to because i do have an

answer do you want me to

find spill your little lies

go ahead well so

at seven i was um i was about to go

stargazing uh you know like we were

having a meal

uh me meaning the um

[Music]

what was it was sort of a tea party that

we were having uh me and my stuffed

animals

and so we were all sipping on tea uh

which well theirs was actual tea mine i

i wanted to be a little stronger so my

my drink wasn’t exactly tea

was a hot toddy so kind of tea um

so anyway we were just having a tea

party

and then as the night grew on then i was

like well i’m gonna

kind of see you guys later because i’ve

got

i have a thing and they were like oh

what’s the thing and i’m like oh great

okay well i don’t wanna

i don’t wanna because i wanna i wanna go

stargazing by myself

and i don’t want to say that they can’t

join me

so uh you know

miss penelope and um mr donkey man

and uh mr flop the lion yeah

no no that’s a celebrity he said yes

he said yes do we got that on tape do

you do dylan

yes yeah he’s a captain but you can also

call him mister i think that’s

appropriate

in any case he i

left them and i have witnesses because

everyone else at that tea party

uh and so then i left them

and drove uh for

yeah it was four hour drive to um my

favorite tree

and uh the reason it’s my favorite is

because there’s a branch that goes out

pretty far that you can kind of balance

on

sword like it’s you’re really balancing

the whole time and it’s kind of rickety

but

if you do that you can peek out through

like there’s this tiny little

sliver of uh the tree where you can

see through what is he talking about i

don’t know what direction

when you drove four hours where you’re

driving east or west nose north

you have a northeast or northwest uh

northeast northeast yeah northeast where

key west florida is dr london

like from cuba or exactly

i was where the studio was driving i

love all the 1950s cars here

i know i love it it’s always such a

treat every time we come

to record the podcast and we get to take

a 1950s car

yeah well um

so it sounds like so it sounds like we

know

that dr london killed captain floppy

and we’re just going away i just got a

text from

ron and he looked through the bone

garden admissions

and mr floppy uh

bought a ticket on may 31st so he’s no

longer with us in a physical sense

but his soul and his spirit have

transcended into a new way of life for

him

so we should really be grateful and uh

happy

no harm no foul uh it sounds like

uh everything’s in order i mean he

bought the ticket

so it doesn’t sound like anyone murdered

him

it’s part of the experience well it

sound

that sounds like sheila don murdered him

that’s partly she he bought a ticket

though he transcended into a new

ecosystem

[Music]

the afterlife you know what i still

think dr london did it even as you said

that

something about it just

it’s cause you know he dissected so many

things and you know that he just

enjoyed it on like a creepy level

you know let’s let’s it’s just like a

vibe it gives off

we’ll just let’s just give this tape and

our our

what we’ve written down to the coppers

and they can decide

you know how long dr london’s going to

go away

my lawyers have been listening in this

whole times and they’ve been

on constant communication with the

police so i’m sure they’re already on

their way

perfect okay great so dr london i guess

um do you want to kind of go pack your

things

or do you bring your stuff into prison i

don’t know how that works

i i don’t think that i’m headed to

prison

in any case i guess we could just kind

of wrap it up

so um all right thank you to uh

to sheila dawn for coming by the show

again i and karen if you could warn me

next time

just because i don’t want why are you

asking cameron

uh for a warning honestly man i should

give you a warning

like anytime anyone wants to do anything

because it’s like

pointless you know what i mean so like

here’s your warning dude

like it’s all garbage man you know what

i mean

i think you’ve forgotten that i’m goth

now cameron’s goth well yeah

no i i remember and i see all the the

bright colors and

yeah um but they’re darker than normal

so

that’s god yeah just slightly but like

alternating and very just very bright no

the effect is striking

i will say i i noticed right away that

you had gone goth but i

didn’t think that it was polite to say

anything but now that you’re kind of

bringing it up yeah

no the effect is striking

going a little darker red yeah bringing

out the different cues definitely

i would appreciate that like and that

would

be awesome but like if i cared about

anything at all right under yeah

i understood like right now it’s just

like it’s just kind of like

it’s not bad that you said that it’s not

good either it’s just like

it just doesn’t matter yeah it’s just

random and pointless like the world

um well that’s that’s that’s great so

and that could be said for this whole

podcast really

i mean that’s kind of the basis for the

whole podcast and i think that’s why it

was so easy for me to embrace like this

kind of darker side to myself

where like i’m goth and like i have you

know

like you can see like i mean it’s a red

nail polish but like you could imagine

if it was like black or something how

cool that would be

which i don’t care about so i guess

we’ll we’ll go ahead and end it there

so yeah sure whatever thank you i don’t

care i don’t care when you end up

well neither do i thank you sheila don

for for coming on the show

thank you to our producer cameron yeah

whatever i don’t thank you too

did you doing the hoes did you doing the

hose

i see the beads of sweat coming down

[Music]

your teeth grind down on another bite

you wish that there was a crunch

or or any sensation of texture really

but you are unfortunately not the one

making the diet selections here

you were always told to clean your plate

when you were growing up

but surely this is beyond the level of

reason

you start to lift your head up from the

grass but the pressure from the boot on

the back of your head only

increases and you begin eating again

one of these days you will have to stop

accepting dares from bullies

nevertheless

you gave your word this is about

character to prove your worth as an

honest person

you will eat all of the planet earth

starting with the grass and then this

dumb bully

will be the one looking like a fool

you smile a grass-filled smile to

yourself

beaming at the honorable person you have

become

and will become speaking of being an

honorable person

don’t forget to leave a five star review

of the jock doc podcast

in which you share the links to which

you have gotten to prove to mean bullies

that you are a good person

Hey kids, you are about to listen to a comedy podcast.
That means that none of this is medical advice.
if you need medical advice or medical care please

Contact your doctor

Welcome to the Jock Doc podcast featuring dr london

smith home of the number one

game show on the internet

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 cheilosis and bonjour

so i will try to temper my terminology

to a simpler one in the future

here to help with that is our producer

cameron

welcome to the number one game show

on the internet it’s taken the world by

storm

dr london are you ready to get started

you are today’s first guest

on fishing a bear hole

fishing i’m sorry uh so this is

this is a medical education podcast i

don’t know if you’re bringing

dr london you are the first guest on

today’s episode

are you ready and it’s fish for your

question in a

do you say bear hole yes yeah

fish in a bear hole just like the famous

saying every answer

you get right is like a bullet that you

get

that you get to shoot at a fish in a

bear hole but if you get it wrong the

bear snatches it up

swallows it eats it before you get a

chance to

so it’s the internet’s number one game

show

get out of here wait wait don’t tell me

and your propaganda

paula poundstone telling me about

some fun fact about like candy

is i’m sick of it so is

to you is a bear are you ready for your

first question dr

london okay well could i ask a question

first

sure i guess just the stop the momentum

of the show

just to do what you want go ahead sir so

is a bear hole

the the mouth is the hole that makes up

the mouth of the bear

the bear hole is where the bear lives it

can be a cave

it can be like a hole in the ground

uh it could be i mean so usually a cave

right it could be a tent it like

so a fish no there’s no reason it

couldn’t be

a tent so it’s a fish in a tent or a

fish in a cave

is yeah which is a bear hole are you

ready

dr london for your first question

have you ever been to the mall

yes

are you sure about that let’s talk it

through

okay i so i’ve been to prove it

but i’ve been to the mall before prove

to me you’ve been to the mall

i’m not sure that i can like unless you

use a gps

track okay so i’m just i’m supposed to

take your word for it you can’t even

prove you’ve ever been to the mall

i yeah i well i

so i guess whenever i said i was ready

to answer these questions

i didn’t really understand that i was

going to be quizzed on just

where i’ve been i thought it was going

to be like a trivia question

are you are you locking in your answer

for yes yes

yes and then we can be done here because

this is

[Music]

dr london there’s no proof you’ve ever

been to the mall and unfortunately

this show is all about proof

okay so i guess

calling it like proof the bear ate the

fish

maybe calling it something proof related

would would make more sense if that’s

the whole

point because in that line of

questioning you never mentioned

you know anything about a bear or a fish

theme

anyway well no the bear the bear ate

your fish

that you were trying to shoot because

you got the answer the question

wrong okay and maybe i’m just not

quite following the metaphor very well

uh

but you know if it’s all right we can we

can kind of move on from there a little

bit

um so that was our producer cameron uh

also with us

is DJ DYLAN IN DA HOUSE

[Music]

fish in a bear hole

[Music]

fish in a bear hole

fishing a bear hole

[Music]

and later cameron tells me we can expect

a special guest

that’s right dr london yeah so look

forward to that

um but before we move on i would like to

address a bit of listener feedback

i found this note spelled out in the sky

via skywriting the note reads quote

if mistakes make you stronger your

parents are

gods end quote

so um so first of all i would like to

thank you for reaching out to the jock

doc podcast

you know this this listener i

but this this note feels

a little less to me like a question

and a little bit more like an insult

or is it a suggestion

well okay so they said if mistakes make

you stronger

your parents are gods yeah

they’re suggesting that my my parents be

come gods or

already are yeah well okay well the

latter because

it implies to me that i am such a

mistake of a person

that if mistakes make you stronger than

my parents

made such a mistake in having me

that they must be all powerful

yeah i mean is that is that like far off

from

reality i i’m i’m no okay i’m not

hearing anything incorrect

okay so i should clarify my

two things i i really don’t see myself

as a mistake of a person

so that’s number one number two my

parents are not

all powerful nope

you know what god i hate ceres

the god of grain and rice uh

you say series

yeah she’d never be providing

i i guess i don’t have a strong opinion

on

which which type of mythology is is that

from

roman okay yeah i guess i don’t have a

strong opinion on it

but it seems like grain and rice would

be important

yeah they are important that’s why she’s

that’s why i hate her because she’s not

providing enough

okay well how’s your grain been doing

this year

probably not great the the grain that i

do

encounter is just like you know with my

meals

and it’s been fine i think

yeah but how’s your harvest oh see that

that’s what i’m saying i don’t actually

have a harvest

because i’m not a farmer your year’s

been that bad huh i’m so sorry

i don’t have i’ve had one of those years

before

but you know what i’ve bounced back

tenfold tenfold okay

yup i had to sell everything for ten

dollars and then just fold it up

just had to pack my bags and leave

leave the farm

okay well anyway thanks for listening

[Music]

now for today’s medical topic coal

workers pneumoconiosis

co-workers pneumoconiosis is an

environmental lung disease

that may cause some patients to develop

complicated pneumoconiosis

which is characterized by fibrosis

resulting in

restrictive lung disease it’s

it’s caused by an inhalation of coal

dust

which contains carbon and silica so

these

inorganic particles and mineral dust

from

the the coal they cause the lung to

react so it’s really it’s it’s this

reaction of inflammation within the

lungs

that causes this disease so on imaging

these patients will typically have um

small

rounded opaque cities dr london

are you ready for your second question

uh

well so i was in the middle of a medical

lesson so

could it could it wait i don’t know

can a million dollars wait

you’re gonna you’re gonna give me a

million dollars if i

if i answer the question no one said

that

that was not said and that can not be uh

anyone can be held accountable for that

now

okay

well so i asked so is it a yes or no

are you ready for your second question

dr london

okay okay what’s the question who

is the goddess of grain and rice

uh was it according to

roman mythology yes

am i allowed to ask clarifying questions

i guess okay no one’s ever asked that

before on this show

i’m gonna say series was it

you have never been to the mall you

cannot prove it

okay we’re back to that

i don’t understand why you’re lying

about this that’s what the weird part

i what does the sunglass hut look like

tell me

sunglasses filled with a lot of

sunglasses

and that’s it i mean please

i don’t well first of all what if i went

to a mall that didn’t have a sunglass

hut

if i if i sit in a chair you know in a

uh brookstone is that just gonna be a

normal chair or is it gonna be a chair

that’s gonna

like massage me and

like play funny songs or something i

think

it would be a massage chair is this

another question did i get it

okay well you did you did get that right

huh okay okay

so but i don’t know you you cannot

describe a sunglass hut

i’m just saying okay well on

imaging uh patients with co-workers

pneumoconiosis uh

they’ll have small rounded opacities

with a preference for the upper lobes of

the

lungs um they can also

well they’ll have a poor prognosis

because

there are very few treatment options

available aside from

you know lung transplantation so

best to avoid you know working in

uh conditions that will cause you to be

breathing in this uh this contaminated

air with inorganic particles

would you say uh since you’ve been to it

and you’ve experienced it would you say

a mall would be one of those locations

since you know what the air is like in

there because we’ve been no

a mall would not typically be full of

you know long destructive

coal dust can you prove it

uh i mean i i guess like what happened

to the scientific method

that’s all i’m saying go ahead with your

i don’t even want to say a lesson i

guess because it’s not

i don’t without proof i mean i can’t i

can’t endorse

it i can call it a

gibberish or um you know

yep okay well i scam i guess i finished

the medical lesson

abuse maybe

oh it’s over yeah okay

okay

[Music]

oh that that it being over one

that was correct okay so now you’re only

at negative one

wow million dollars made a lot of

progress here

okay well if it’s all right with you we

can move on

from there that’s fine with me

doctor london.com

london.com not londonsmith.com

i is that supposed to be mean

i don’t know

sort of just wanted to gauge your

reaction and then decide what to do with

it from there

right okay yeah well let’s let’s go

ahead and move on then

all right uh cameron you said that we

have a guest today is that right

that’s right dr london we have a very

special guest today

actually i’m gonna go ahead and say one

of my favorite guests of all

time easily okay

i that sounds great so this is a medical

practitioner

uh it could be don’t know okay

haven’t spoken to them but my god

they’re one of my faves okay well let’s

see if they can

i guess hold on to that title even

though it sounds like they

there’s no qualifications for that okay

uh hello there uh hi hi can you hear me

is this on

yeah yeah i think we can hear you um uh

what what was your uh what was your name

hey hey my name’s clifford morris i’m

from

savannah georgia i work on a shrimp and

boat okay

uh well my name is dr londonsmith.com

and this is our producer cameron

hi hey does nasta nice to nice to

finally talk with y’all

hi ashley nice to finally talk to you

too have you been have you been waiting

to talk to us for a while ah well uh

it took me a while to get the call

through i’d call in because i found your

ad

on uh the facebook and i saw that it

said

uh if you have medical symptoms to call

dr

london smith uh let me actually let me

look at the ad the ad said

the greatest doctor who ever lived and

can solve all your problems

and then i was wondering where i’d heard

that before and i recognized it from the

google ads

and the billboard that was outside and

uh

i was just impressed it looked like all

of this ad copy was

very expensive i was impressed you all

would spend that much

yeah well and it’s strange to

uh it seems very targeted actually

cameron have you been targeting this

particular

individual with our advertising

uh yeah i’ve been into this new thing

called gang stalking

and basically what you do is it’s a form

of stalking that’s less like oh i’m

gonna follow you around and spy on you

and more just

make crazy stuff happen all the time

that like

kind of manipulates people to do

whatever i want

and it just happens to be that whatever

i want 99 of the time is to get someone

to listen to this podcast

so it’s not specific it’s very broad

it’s it’s it’s random

yeah but i did notice the you your ad

was both results on

every single thing i googled for the

last week so

uh that makes sense yeah that’s right

and you if you’ll also notice

uh like if you open up microsoft word

and start writing something

every other sentence you write is going

to be something about

this podcast and that’s just the power

of technology

uh i don’t know clifford do you prefer

mr morris or clifford

oh clifford’s fine okay clifford uh

yeah so so what what made you call in

today

besides the you know aggressive ad

campaign

yeah well since you’re a doctor and can

uh solve

medical mysteries according to the ads i

was wondering if you could weigh in

on some stuff that i’ve been

experiencing

that seems to be confusing the people in

this town so

um for the last couple weeks i’ve had a

rash growing

on my arms and my legs and uh ooh

yeah it’s uh it’s real itchy and then

it’s getting real uh

real hard actually like it’s uh i can i

can click it and if i tap my nails on it

like it makes it it makes a little

clicky sound

and uh it’s been spreading slowly

how much of you has been consumed by

this rash so far what are we talking

centimeter-wise

um i would say like half of them

half of my centimeters okay

yeah yeah started uh started arms and

legs has been slowly working its way

working its way to the middle um

also my breath has been real bad and i

can’t seem to do anything about it

no matter how much a brush how much a

gargle the breath just uh

won’t get any better um

i’ve been having some i mean that could

be that could be dietary right i mean

what have you been eating lately

it is true my uh i have been eating a

kind of different diet lately i’ve been

wanting just real real earthy things

i’ve had

black coffee been having some real uh

real weird teas i’ve been eating uh i

think the kids call them bonito flakes i

think they’re

seaweed or something from the asian

market and uh when i’ve been on the boat

i’ve been helping myself to the

earthworms every now and then

huh okay could we i mean that’s all

sounds pretty normal to me i mean dr

london that’s a is

is that a normal diet or your diet is

strange teas

some chips coffee

and earthworms from your

your shrimp boat yes um yeah yeah

do you or do you cook the earthworms

ah no not really just uh

you know just so that part that part to

me sounds odd

okay just yeah but

whoa whoa hold on a second you can’t

judge what people want to eat

yeah it sounds odd yeah it’s weird as

hell dr linda i i recognize that

but is that going to cause his breath to

stink so bad okay so on a medical level

okay i didn’t realize this was the make

fun of our guest

show yeah i get i just wanted to

establish

you know and and confirm what you wanted

to establish yourself as the boss

all right i know so

so clifford when did these symptoms

start

wouldn’t you start noticing a change did

anything happen prior to

the symptoms starting uh let’s see

[Music]

uh they were happening yesterday

i started noticing the rash getting

bigger after one of the times

i woke up outside standing by the water

you know after having one of the dreams

that you have about

wanting to go home to the fish kingdom

i after one of those dreams i noticed

the rash was getting bigger

okay well let’s can we go back to when

you

first like around the time when you

first noticed the rash at all

okay well let’s see

uh i guess it was when i just

it was a couple weeks ago i just gotten

home from

a fishing trip we caught a bunch of

stuff

and it was a pretty good pretty good

fishing day

a bunch of stuff like fish right

yeah yeah we caught all kinds of shrimp

we caught uh

lots of different trips we got tiger

shrimps cherry shrimps

amano shrimps yup uh

we did get that one haul that had a

bunch of just fish heads in it

that was weird i just i remembered that

one because that one had the jade idol

in it

um maybe caught some clams well clamps

clams can go bad pretty easily that is

true is this a clam is this a clam rash

i thought it might be a clam rash

well let’s how many clams are you

consuming each day

uh well i’m not eating them we just

caught a bunch of them

i tried to eat them i just i can’t eat i

can’t eat seafood anymore it’s been

actually ever since about that day

really it’s been

earthworms and coffee huh so you

mentioned something about a

a jade idol oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

that’s what we caught the uh

there was this neat little neat little

statue that we caught

and uh i took it home and i put it on my

bed stand because i thought it looked

nice it’s got this

uh it’s got like a fish looking person

on it

and i can’t read the words on it but it

looks uh

it looks nice on my look nice on my bed

stand helps me find the the bathroom at

night because

you know when the eyes start glowing i

can see in the dark and it’s nice and

red so it you know doesn’t wake me up

have you ever i know you can’t make

sense of what

whatever it says on the idol but have

you ever like tried to read it

no if i get too close to it i get a

headache real bad so i haven’t been

reading

much you know and yeah i mean doctor

i did ask i did ask a friend to look at

it he’s a preacher down at the local

the local church but as soon as he got

into my bedroom he just started crying

and uh he left and he won’t talk to me

anymore so

i don’t know yeah i mean it’s this it’s

this generation i know and

they’re i mean they’re weak you know and

they’re they’re unwilling to

to put up with the tough stuff yeah so

it’s and i figured just because my

breath was bad

but yeah and that i mean that i haven’t

smelled your breath but that could

possibly be i mean dr linda are we what

are we are we talking i mean is this

diabetes is this claustrophobia is this

no i mean what is this no this doesn’t

sound like

diabetes or claustrophobia but okay so

your diet sounds more like a symptom

than a cause like you have halitosis

um you have this this rash did you

notice anything else like did you

come into contact with some new people

or anyone else who had

these sort of symptoms

no everyone on the boat seemed pretty

happy to let me

take it uh okay my

oh to take the statue to take the statue

and um it’s actually been pretty much

just me at home

because my human wife said that she

wanted to go stay with her mom for a

while

you s you you specify human wife is

there

yeah yeah you know you’re human is there

another wife or is this

yeah yeah you know the one that uh the

human wife is the one that holds you

over before you find your true mate when

you go home to the fish kingdom

yeah i mean i guess that’s true well i

cameron let’s not normalize that

that’s so or or fish husband you know

i’m

i’m sorry i misspoke yeah

so it’s more the fish kingdom references

that are okay before

you i mean we’re talking about seattle

right

uh maybe i think that’s one of them

um did and i don’t want to start

thinking those terms because it’s sort

of it it’s not as

i guess science medical but

did you have these kinds of you know

weird

dreams or diet issues before

or you know thoughts of your wife as

your human wife before the statue

let me let me see because i definitely

had those

dreams last night and the night before

that

okay the week before that i was having

them

before the statue uh

before the st um i don’t actually

remember a whole lot

before the statue oh just in general

yeah let me oh wait hold on hold on no i

remember now

i i remember before the statue i

remember

i remember the war i remember

i remember when we knew that the humans

were advancing

and we had to retreat and we knew to

send our kingdom

back to the seas and planned our revenge

and then i did

i took fiddle lessons in high school i

wasn’t good at those

and are you sure i mean did you eat any

bad clams i’m still i’m stuck on the

clam thing

uh you know i told people that i thought

it was the clams i just

but i kept i googled clam rash google

clam dreams and i’m getting nothing so i

don’t know

yeah yeah well okay so you have some

some amnesia you have halitosis

you have appetite changes you think of

your wife

as more of your human wife

now specifically

like as an important differentiation i

right as you do

i want to talk about the eyes glowing on

this statue that’s what interests me

okay i mean is there any any other

attribute on it that’s similar like does

anything change does anything

move does anything light up or make a

sound or um no i don’t i’ve never

seen it moving it does end up uh

different places

and sometimes when i wake up and i’m

in the water it’s there with me

oh yeah you’ve been talking about so

you’ve been having

these specific dreams for i mean the

last couple weeks

yeah i mean those are the dreams you

have right about home in the sea so have

you been have you been waking

up in the water after every single one

of these dreams uh yeah

or close to it like on the beach in the

water uh sometimes just on my way it

depends it’s been getting further

uh every time it seems

i mean dr london they didn’t go over

this in your residency

they okay so i think the furthest i’ve

gotten

is uh about two three hundred yards out

yeah okay well i can tell you so far at

least

you know in my education they never

mentioned

when you wake up from a dream about

the you know water fish kingdom

how far you moved in your sleep that

like that

did not come up okay is it just usually

like if you moved or not

or it’s where you moved or

you know most of which is how far

underwater you are

no this as i said a little bit earlier

this sounds like it’s branching off from

conventional medicine as as i understand

because

okay you were talking about this rash

do you have a history of rashes or

eczema

anything like that uh well let me see if

i think back

if i try to think back far enough

i remember that this vessel was perfect

and it will return home and it will join

the others

and soon we will have the sacrifices we

need

to raise our god from his slumber and

take back the land

so yeah it doesn’t sound like an eczema

issue because

they it’s looking for a perfect vessel

and obviously

if our friend here what do you mean

eczema i mean

just like the vessel in general i i

guess i don’t know

like the shipping the fishing vessel i

don’t know

okay you’re the doctor didn’t they go

over this on residency

this flash vessel it has been chosen

okay to join its kind yeah this flash

vessel so

he’s not gonna have eczema so it can’t

be that i’m still

i’m thinking it’s the clams um now what

have your thoughts been lately

i have been thinking of returning him

home

and joining him with his true mate and

leaving

their souls in the tower

okay i’m not sure

if okay cameron can i can i kind of

sidebar with you for a second

yeah sure can you uh clifford could you

hold on for just a moment

oh yeah yeah i’m good what are you

talking about

here do you want to play some games on

my phone while we uh while we talk

oh sure sure yeah here just go ahead

okay so cameron i’m not sure what

okay i guess it sounds a little bit like

multiple personality disorder

so i mean you don’t think it’s just that

he

he you don’t think there’s legitimacy to

the this talk of like the statue

influencing him well that that just

doesn’t sound really

you know like like real life that sounds

like some

you know something out of a movie so

okay so you’re unwilling to believe in

something that you didn’t learn in

residency is that what we’re hearing now

it’s a bunch of good fishing games on

here

yeah and that was a good call cameron to

download this fishing games uh

so it’s the i mean

the the physical symptoms i can see are

concerning

on this you know this video called that

the rash being like it

it does look like it’s sort of

encrusting him

yeah and i mean have you not noticed the

like

gills that are on his throat yeah

i guess i just thought that was maybe he

was cosplaying or something

or larping i um

anyway sorry you need to open up your

mind a little bit today

okay do you wanna okay dr london

yes mr london we no longer require your

assistance

okay yeah that’s that’s that’s what i’m

being told here

from as well perfectly fine

in fact we are perfect and beautiful

well that’s very that’s a good way to

think of yourself you know

a lot of people struggle with

self-esteem and

it is important to think you know highly

of yourself

you have been very kind we will remember

you

when the new order is being established

and the sea

reclaims the land oh that’s so sweet

i appreciate it so what’s your what’s

your end goal here clifford i mean

we keep hearing about you wanting to go

to seattle right i assume that’s the

fish kingdom

and yes you’ve seemed to have uh kind of

a close relationship with this kind with

the statue what

i mean what does that mean to you now

the statue

is our progenitor it goes to the land

and it finds proper vessels and it has

found it and it will aid us

in restoring the natural order of the

universe

where we once again rule this planet

[Music]

okay yeah some more yeah it’s just the

cl i mean the clams i think

the clams have long been an issue

yeah i think i you really got to check

the expiration on that stuff and i know

it’s hard to check the expiration when

you’re getting it straight from the

ocean

um but i know it’s on there i think it’s

just if you look underneath that

you should be able to we will discuss

this see like a best friend

god he is very unagreeable

yeah they all are i know we were just

talking about this green and rice girl

it blows my mind oh you deal with the

land gods

i cannot even imagine

yeah i like well personally i don’t deal

with a lot of

you know gods that doesn’t he doesn’t

have any crops to harvest

so so clifford can i talk to

clifford i will see

what remains of him

oh oh oh what what happened i had the

bird almost knocked the tower thing over

and

what’s going on oh yeah on the the phone

game so

so clifford oh um i’m i’m sorry i

changed your

phone settings somehow it’s got the

i think i switched the language i’m

sorry i can’t read it it’s

it looks familiar though

yeah the same kind of writing that’s on

that that statue of yours

yeah yeah that’s where i’ve seen this

okay yeah well cameron i don’t know if

you can change those settings back

i’m sorry i’m not very good with

technology i don’t know what i did i

hope you can figure it out

you guys run the the podcast it looks

like it’s the same

sort of ancient barbaric language

that’s on the statue i mean it says it’s

set to french-canadian

i thought that’s what that might be so

uh so clifford what i’m thinking is that

maybe there’s some sort of multiple

personality disorder going on

maybe some well cameron was saying

you’re possessed by something

that or cursed i don’t know

it’s not it’s getting a little um it’s

actually kind of hard to breathe in here

um can i get uh do you have a do you

have a glass of

or like a bowl of water or something oh

yeah just like a bowl of water like a

dog

like a dog bowl you have kind of like a

dog bowl

yeah yeah yeah oh good good oh i see it

i see it i see it

all right i’m just gonna lay my head

down in this for a little bit keep

talking keep talking

he’s just going for it

so this helps

someone we’re thinking that you maybe

should

um maybe get rid of that sketch or at

least i’m thinking this get rid of that

statue do not

tell him to get rid of the statue yeah

doctor london you can’t

i’m sorry what oh i didn’t i didn’t

catch that

you can’t be telling our guests like

what they can need to get rid of like i

know we all have a lot of clutter at

home but you that’s not

for your job to dictate what people keep

and what people throw out i mean

you’re a doctor but you’re not you know

an organizer well

okay to to put it in sort of clinical

terms

whenever you have say you know allergies

and it’s from your rug or it’s from

you know some other object in your house

that’s

that has all these allergens you’ll

usually

if it’s really causing you a lot of

trouble like this rash clifford do you

have a statue with your dreams

uh yeah yeah i never i never let go of

it can we see it

oh sure yeah let me get it out of my bag

here

and uh ah

there it goes oh see it’s lighting up

yeah don’t look right at it don’t look

right

it’s blinding it’s okay

oh all right it’s getting real hot it’s

getting real hot i’m gonna put that yeah

i can feel the heat

all right all right it’s it’s it’s back

in the back it’s back in the back

okay yeah you can get rid of that oh i

don’t know though

it’s kind of nice

also i’ve tried to get rid of it before

and it finds me so i kind of just gave

up oh yeah i mean what happened

oh just you know i uh took it out the

boat once

threw it into the sea and then uh

when it uh when i woke up the next day

it was uh back in my room

[Music]

oh that’s that’s concerning yeah well

you know

i had that happen with a cat once yeah i

just figured it was time to

time to keep it yeah i mean like it’s

okay

it’s chosen you to be its forever home

yeah yeah you you try to throw a cat

into the ocean

yeah no they can swim it was i just

wanted him to show him that business

yeah people don’t know about that but

like the cat’s hating water

thing is actually an urban legend and

actually all cats can swim

faster than they can walk wow

so everyone listening all of our

listeners if let’s i mean

you can experiment with this at home and

it can be something kind of fun take

your cat

and just throw it in any body of water

that you can find

i i think toy listeners you know maybe

don’t do that because they in my

experience

cats are actually they dislike you know

being in london i i don’t dr london

can i talk to you for a second yeah

yeah we already uh uh hey hey return

clifford can you hear i’ve got like i’ve

got tony hawk

bass pro fisher you can play

on playlist dr london

do you i want to look at the statue

again so bad

do you have that is do you have that

like desire burning in you right now

i really want to look at that statue i

don’t like

i can’t stop thinking about it right are

you thinking about it you’re thinking

about it right too right

yeah but we i i don’t think it’s healthy

i

i just like yes but don’t you

i want to see it again i just want to

look at it again but for a second

for like i don’t how can it be unhealthy

it can’t be unhealthy for a second

a lot of things can be unhealthy for

just a second yeah

no we can’t do it we have to be stronger

than that okay okay

we’ll be stronger i got it okay okay

okay back to hey i have completed your

game

thank you hey can we see the statue

again just for a second

no no your vessels are not worthy

oh good what good we don’t

we should not be can explain why

the statue has judged you it is not up

to me

yeah but there’s no like there’s no

reason

i just feel so rejected

is it my hair remained out calamity

would have followed this it might be the

hair

i don’t know it’s picky i shouldn’t have

gone for the skrillex

look 10 years later

i thought it was i thought it was time

for 2011 nostalgia but apparently not

no skrillex hair yeah that’s

that’s actually it’s very particular

about that

well whatever

okay well okay it sounds like we’re not

going to be able to

really make a lot of headway here

as i said no headway is required the

vessel is perfect

i mean it sounds like everything’s kind

of worked itself out right

no i i feel like there’s someone history

has been righted

this has been very productive and that

is one of the things we

kind of hope for with our listeners is

that they walk away from the show after

listening

feeling like they’ve they’ve actually

done something there’s so many of these

podcasts where you’re like did i just

waste an hour of my life

but because this show is about education

and about

medicine and about new cultures and new

people

and statues and i want to see the statue

and if you show me the statue just for

one sec like i just want to see it for

one second

i just want to see the statue the world

is not prepared

yeah and that’s all right um read

cameron just use your word yeah it’s

just like the um

i just i don’t even want to look at it

good

you shouldn’t even like try to show it

to me because i like i don’t even wanna

i don’t even wanna see it more than

anything good

okay i do not believe you everyone wants

to see the beauty of the statue

i’m sorry so i feel like we are talking

to two people who is

who are we talking to now my name

is not pronounceable by human tongues

cliffford

morris that

is actually pretty close okay well

that’s that’s how you introduced

yourself to us

earlier so okay so anyway clifford

um clay for

[Music]

so whichever of you really we if we have

a

part of the podcast now there’s

we okay so we spent a year kind of

avoiding the podcast

chores like they’re just all these

chores to do around

oh is that you’re segwaying into the

chore wheel i had no idea what was going

on that is a flawed

race dr london you’ve got to work on

your segways

here watch watch me do it okay

you just just talk about something okay

so

um co-workers pneumoconiosis ah

man you know what i you know what i

forgot to do the other day

is i forgot to do the dishes sometimes i

forget about the chores i need to do

you know what that reminds me of dr

londo uh co-workers pneumoconiosis

no and then you say what does that make

you think of cameron

what does that make you think of cameron

it makes me think of the chore wheel

we got to finish these chores we’ve got

a bunch of chores that we’ve been

putting off

and we got to spin the wheel hopefully

just get it done

don’t have to deal with it anymore okay

so let’s go ahead and spin the wheel

[Applause]

[Music]

and okay so the task is

make the best dating profile oh man i

knew we were gonna have to do this one

i’ve put this one off for so long i do

not understand the task

we’re gonna create dating profiles

it’s a chore so a chore is a task

that you undertake it’s sort of your

responsibilities like

say if you have to go

to a fish kingdom that’s that could be a

chore

that can be a chore um dating we should

probably explain dating

okay so so you referenced your

human um

[Music]

mate right yeah

so to find one of those you’ll

use uh you know potentially you could

use a dating app

a dating application on your phone um

and you’ll just to use that to have

someone select you this is terrible okay

you know how sometimes a seahorse

impregnates like the male seahorse and

then

yeah and you also okay so and do you

also know

the uh tony hawk bass pro machine

that you were playing on earlier yes i

have completed it

so it’s that but it’s on there

i understand okay you get

dr london this is my job right yeah

speaking of the people translating your

genius

to the masses yep okay so

the perfect dating or sorry the best

that’s what it says the best

dating profile all right dr linda do you

want to start

yeah so i guess at the start a classic

thing for these

so you’ll put your height um

yeah so go ahead and put your height but

you wanna like

they’re expecting you to exaggerate a

little bit okay so this is like so i

mean let’s like some people do let’s go

and do like five foot

seven like you’ll put like

nine foot twelve i

no i wrote i wrote i blot out the sun

with my might

okay yeah i think that can work

i think i mean i think a lot of people

like assertive people especially in the

in the dating sphere

yeah um

yeah i mean i i would go with that maybe

could you add maybe like an emoji after

that to

be a little more playful about it

[Music]

i am looking at the emojis on your tony

hawk machine

yeah what uh what about

the um the

this one is a little this one is a

little monkey

i have added the monkey okay that works

okay um okay so we’ve done our

heights oh you have to list what the the

shows

that people like to watch you just list

them

right yeah your tv shows yeah to make

sure that you’re relatable because then

if you can both like the same shows and

you can sit on a couch

with a person in the future and imagine

watching

the show with them i enjoy watching the

unworthy vessels

fight for the right to return to the

surface in shame

okay yeah so so just to warn you there’s

a character

what was that i haven’t seen that okay

yeah well

i mean to me the bigger point because

you only have so much space

to to put the show so you might want to

find a way to shorten that title yeah

like maybe

maybe just put down monk monk that is

also good

that is my second favorite thing to

watch okay and then i’m gonna go ahead

and put down

i’m trying to think because i it needs

to be sort of impressive

right but not like snobby or pretentious

yes so peaky blinders

or elmo’s world the segment within

sesame street that’s dedicated to

elmo right

because then it shows that like then

like i’m not

i’m not like too snobby to like

have some uh you know

low-class quote-unquote media

yeah yeah i guess okay so so for you

it’s going to be elmo’s world

which is a segment within a children’s

show yep okay

okay for me i i want to let them know

that i can be

silly okay so

[Music]

so but but also educational so

animaniacs

yeah i mean i guess you aren’t confusing

the brain

what that not pinky in the brain that

like deals directly with intelligence

well that’s the same

that’s the segment the same people

that’s with a segment within the show

that also became its own show that’s

true

i i’m sorry if i don’t want to hone in

too much i want to be

broad to catch more

people okay you should also watch the

vessels fight it meets your criteria

for silly and educational right right

okay so okay so we’ve got

our hi we gotta do we gotta do our picks

too

oh yeah the pictures so let me get a

picture of you dr london

here put put your hand there

okay on my heart okay and then put your

foot

there okay on the stool more more

forward

okay more forward okay more forward

okay more forward

okay and then turn your head okay well

now i’m on the ground

yeah turn your head that this is perfect

turn your head that way

okay now put your other hand

where your foot uh the other foot is

okay so i feel like i’m just wrapped

around behind

my body now okay can you hold that for

for a little bit while i take this pic

okay well now you’re just taking a

picture of your

a selfie no well here let me uh okay

are you taking it with me or hold on

hold on i’m out of film

one second oh okay that’s not

all right all right

okay

but for the listeners at home the reason

it’s taking so long is it is the type of

camera where

cameron does have to go under a blanket

thing

and it’s a it’s a literal fire for the

flash

and so that’s why it’s taking a bit to

change things out

so let me just swap out the light bulb

i will place a picture of the statue and

we will find

more worthy oh cameron your lucky day

now this is interesting i’m trying to

take look at

look at this dr london i’m trying to

take a picture of clifford in the statue

look at it hold on should i i’m going to

hold it up

actually yeah it’s

it’s it’s changing as i look at it

for one thing yeah it’s becoming like

it’s like

powder but visually yeah

i i don’t know if we should put this

online

oh cheese say cheese cheese

hold on the smoke sorry

good it worked you will have noticed the

statue absorbed all light

because it came from the camera

yeah and i think that’s really gonna

help with uh the lighting in the

pictures too which is gonna be really

awesome

excellent now dr london what if we we

need to add

um our education because and like our

employment

okay yeah because no one wants no one

wants to you know

not know what they’re getting into

financially right isn’t that the whole

point of dating is to

find someone rich and not not so much

for me but maybe for you

i would say for most people so i’m going

to go ahead i want to

i want to kind of imply that i’m rich

but i’m not naive i’m not going to just

hand it out

so so it needs to be like wealthy but

like

confident so i’m thinking

it so prices at build-a-bear

have been rising rapidly over the last

decade and they were

always expensive to begin with and so i

have to imagine the amount of income

coming into that place has to be

incredible

okay i thought you were going to say

something like you know a yacht

captain you know something that

why not both i mean think of the cruises

that could benefit

from having a build-a-bear within it oh

that’s what you mean by both

is you’ll you’ll work the register

as well as drive the yacht

yep so i’m just gonna okay let’s so i’m

gonna put down

build a bear um

uh specialist

or

overlord or

oh build a bear sommelier

and um captain cruise captain

okay i mean uh in london what do you

want to put for yours

what um yeah it’s a doctor i’m gonna

put that i’m a doctor

that’s no one’s going to like that it’s

got to be spicier you think podcast host

is better

it is i mean it’s definitely more

impressive than being a doctor but i

still there’s got to be something more

to it maybe you’re like the

maybe you’re like dr danger what about

have you thought about rebranding to

something like that

no i it that doesn’t seem

like that would be helpful for you know

but

when you say rebrand do you mean change

my name

just like change how people view you

people right now view you as this

nine foot doctor

who sucks and if we

kind of look towards the future and we

can sort of see

how things would be better if we

rebranded as a dr danger

or a what about dr diplomatic

that could be fun um

doctor diabetic i mean there’s options

here but there’s a lot of d

words in the dictionary okay dictionary

i mean

all of these are better than just doctor

well for now

maybe i’ll just put put a doctor just

for the moment and then we can

troubleshoot later

if that’s all right i’m just gonna put

doctor dictionary

they’ll figure it out i have put my

title as harbinger

i was educated in the horrors of war and

i learned

from the hate that burned within me as i

saw my brethren

slain on either side of me harbinger

okay i haven’t heard of that specific

station

uh okay but you know work is work i

guess

it is a very prestigious prank okay

yeah i know like i guess harbinger

overlord

is overlord kind of just like a lord

like a just a title that a person can

have

regardless of their employment yes we

have overlords of many tasks

okay with the overlord of vessel

retrieval we have the overlord

of strategic planning for the eventual

new kingdom

okay and we have the overlord of toy

workshops

for the children okay which is what i

assumed it was

the station on the boat

yeah and the overlord elton john

the overlord like all those types of

yes it maps nightly it maps correctly

into your society as well

yeah okay um

is there anything else to make the best

dating profile

do you usually have like a joke or a

quip

yeah i mean i i think you can show

you’re funny i think that’s

that helps to sell yourself a little bit

so like what if i put

um what if i put

like like mentally deranged

are you wanting so we said it was a

funny thing do you want to

i mean it’s like funny right because

it’s like every

everyone’s like oh you’re so crazy oh

dude that dude’s insane

so what if what if i’m like uh

medically technically i’m insane

but i’ve been i’m on good medication now

and i’ve been permitted

out of the hospital and have some

some pill emotions and a syringe

yeah i have put that my second language

is quotes from the office and that i

enjoy hiking and hanging out with

friends

this will show that i am quirky and

approachable

that does sound good and a lot of people

have you could like

have you considered maybe mentioning

that you speak sarcasm

uh yes i have added that to my list of

languages

um that’s good uh for me

what’s uh what’s a i don’t really joke

much so i don’t know what i can what i

could say for that

like okay we’ll put just put down this

joke put down knock knock

knock knock okay yeah who’s there

so will they do i just put knock knock

and then

if they message me they’ll they will

have to say who’s there

uh you could try that my only concern

would be when they’re reading knock

knock

they think someone’s at the door and so

they just go and check get distracted

and don’t even remember to message you

okay i feel like that’s because that

gives me some time

to figure out the knock knock joke

that’s true yeah

cause like because i’m obviously i’m

blanking right now but if

if i put knock knock now i’m

sure i’ll think of something by the time

someone likes me

yeah well i mean let’s just set it up

knock knock who’s there

how about um how about uh uh

samurai and then just figure something

out

and then yeah okay and just figure it

out from there yeah just later

okay you don’t have to worry about it

now

just put that part of it so you’re

saying and then when they’re like what’s

the punch line to the joke you can

you just make it up okay to prove that

you’re funny

okay well that’s that’s a potential yeah

okay so i’ll put

i think i’ll put knock knock for now

though and then yeah

i’ll get to that okay i’m telling you

they’re gonna think someone’s at the

door

but okay okay all right well

is that is that a full best profile is

that what it looks like

yeah i mean i think we’re gonna get a

lot of matches guys i’m i’m proud of us

i have already received thousands

oh wow

the coming age greatly thank you for

your assistance

i gotta know what’s your type my type

i like strong-willed warriors who will

stand by my side

in the coming age they also

have to not be into drama oh yeah

i hate drama i know

cameron’s always calling me you know

right after he’s talked to some

some whatever well he’ll call them a

bimbo or something he’ll call me up

and just go on and on about their drama

and how he hates it

and how they’ve been they’ve been doing

all these stupid things all the time

and stirring up trouble around him and

he just hates that drama

and i can’t even watch tnt because they

know

drama yeah that’s how much it makes me

sick to my stomach

you don’t think i want to watch animal

kingdom oh yeah it’s only

it’s most of what you talk about but i

can’t

even bring myself to do it

sony i mean i can add that to my profile

too

hate drama uh i am really

clinically insane i don’t think i’m

dangerous anymore

uh but it’s always hard to tell okay let

me just

punch that in all right i mean i think

we’re

we’re at a good place can we can we

check this chore off the list i think

i think we’re any anything else from

clifford i am giving

my matches instructions they will soon

all be home in the sea

well okay so it sounds like you’re

you’re also com finished with yours

okay so we can um we can check that off

the list

and now we’re done with the wheel dj

dylan can we get a

can we get to check that off the list

sound all right

that was good i like that we’re gonna

we’re gonna use that in the we’re gonna

keep using that okay

well i guess we’re i guess we’re about

finished um

so clifford uh is there any way for

people to

you know follow you after this to keep

up with you i know you talked about

you have sort of a movement that you’re

trying to do

yes all who are worthy will receive a

messenger in their dreams

okay show them the location of their

homes

belong to

also i am on twitter my handle

is skip sandwich because we do not

consume bread or meat or meat that is

fair reasoning

the statute

[Music]

[Music]

oh

my name is dr lennonsmith.com and this

has been

the jock duck podcast see ya

[Music]

you inch forward along the ledge the

wind whipping at you intermittently

throwing you off balance every time

climbing out of that window

wow it really feels like almost a

mistake at this point

but you shake your head to lose a

thought which of course

makes you lose balance again for a

moment you cast your gaze

downward to the dizzying height below

so now you’re also dizzy you wait for

your vision to settle

and you take another step forward yes

you can see it now

the candy bar wrapper is caught in a

chipped portion of this upcoming corner

you take another step forward then reach

down toward the rapper

but the wind whips at you again and you

nearly fall to your

literal death what an awful way to go

you take another step forward reach down

and finally

grasp the candy bar rapper your

co-workers can make fun of you all they

want

but when you say you have a zero

tolerance policy towards littering

and one of them throws trash out the

window you are

bound to be headed out of that same

window to prevent the progression

of such a transgression speaking of

saving the planet
