Doctor Mike's Hardest Challenge Yet! | The Basement Yard #545

Welcome back to the base. Welcome back to the basement yard today. Me and Frank are on the same side because we have a special guest, the smartest person who's ever been on this show by a hundred million miles. Definitely. Dr.

Mike is with Dr.

Mike. I don't know if this is a diss or a compliment.

No, no, no, no, no. How is that?

That's well, it's out now? To be fair in our current setup. The only other people we've had on here are red and link and they're very smart I forgot about them. They're very smart, but not as medically smart part of them is really tall bro

What is with hold on?

Let's say this

If you're watching someone on YouTube chances are they're over six and a half feet tall I don't know what this guy walked in and I'm expecting dr. Mike to come in and he's like a doctor I've always had short doctor well because a lot of them have a God complex and that's crazy I mean it's true I mean surgeons that's right I would probably throw a surgeon that's what I was referencing as well do you find that a

lot of doctors are shorter than you I think think it's a mixed bag. You're 6'2. Yeah, 6'3

Let me too. Yeah. No, you're not

Well, if I'm wearing my vomero premium pluses or whatever, they're called then I'm easily 6'5

What is that doctor shoes? No, those are like the new Nike's that have the amount of padding that basically you don't need to hide your inserts. Nice. Nice. Gotcha. So you're going like Tom Cruise level in. So I'm proud of those inserts.

Good for you.

My friend.

Maybe I should wear an insert.

You definitely should.

Just like an all right. You're getting crazy or get the surgery that like can make legs.

Don't do that.

Is that a thing?

I heard it's very painful though.

It's called the lid. I've also never performed this procedure nor have I consulted on that procedure. But yes, that's the...

They break it but they do like...

They create a little space in order for the bone to heal and they progressively do that over and over again.

I saw this in a movie recently.

Your bones will just heal towards each other?

Yeah.

The space is really little and over time. Oh, okay.

And they have these screws that they tighten and they keep growing the materialist Is that was that the one Dakota Johnson? You've seen it too, right Pedro Pascal is like 5 2 and then all of a sudden she finds out Oh, he got the tall guy surgery and he's like 6 1 he Benjamin button. He bet he reversed Benjamin button Okay, how long is that?

It's long. It's tough and imagine you're not walking comfortably. So there's a lot of rehab required for that.

It sounds like years. And it sounds expensive. Like it's like kind of classified as cosmetic as us medical professionals.

Well, it is in some cases, but there are cases medically where someone has, let's say, bowed legs and they need to straighten them.

So in those situations, you're using the procedure for we all function for we all knew that person in high school that walked like they rode a horse

I know

but they always had a great jump shot for some reason

unbelievable jump shot but they shot it like this

yeah

well you know now everyone who is one of those three point shooting champions that set all the Guinness World Records they don't have good form

oh you're talking basketball brother you're above my head go back to the medical stuff

you haven't seen I'm not a good basketball is not my thing. I'm a baseball football But you've seen what I'm talking about This very awkward shooting form that if you play in a pickup game, you'll get blocked nine out of ten times, right? But when you're just shooting by yourself, you can make you just hit him doc you ball up yeah I played in Madison Square Garden before I play so yeah where'd you guys we did a whole show all right that's a bigger flag yeah that's not a lot of it too he said hulu theater would have been a better

laugh

I played on the court what this is not your show right now back to us what the hell are you wearing I was a plague doctor and I was gonna wear this but I couldn't breathe and you guys in the Senate to be fast enough so yeah I'm just gonna hold it just show them that's what doesn't matter okay shove it down your throat but yeah I played I played on the court what the hell yeah sorry about that um well thanks for joining us today I

really appreciate it we're excited now that we know that you also play basketball we're gonna challenge you to a game of basketball one day hi um but we in preparation for the show, we talk a lot. Professionally and somewhat argue stupidly. And we often pretend that we know the answers to a lot of what we're talking about,

when chances are, one of us doesn't. One of us is on a hot streak lately.

He had one episode last week that he said like two things that were correct in a row.

What were the things?

Well, one of them, you know, put this one to bed.

You don't need to be a doctor to figure this one out. But he can't get an expression correctly. And he said, what was it?

Which part?

You know it.

So here's the expression. Tell me if you've heard it.

Okay. The pen is mightier than the sword, but the tongue can lick them both.

That's incorrect, bro. That's an insane thing. My only question here. What phase of your life were you hearing? And then what phase of your life were you repeating that statement? He repeated it with the most confidence on this show. When have I repeated it? All faces, every face.

As soon as I heard it, I said, wow, that's really good.

He's a walking example of if you just say something like definitively, people usually just get at it.

Wow.

You know what I mean? Well, hold on, now you're painting me as some sort of psychopath here. What do you think the show is?

I mean, you just did a video where you well not just it but like you you talked to a bunch of like oh Surrounded yes surrounded by like anti-vaxxers. Yes. Yes. So you've probably dealt with people like Joey and I we're like, we're gonna say it We're gonna be confident about it

The generality of like we're gonna say it we're gonna be confident about it and we're not gonna look up any truth behind it

Okay, how do you can you confirm that you dealt with people like that? I've dealt with people who were We're going to be confident about it and we're not going to look up any truth behind it. Okay.

How do you, can you confirm that you've dealt with people like that?

I've dealt with people who were less interested in being immune to disease and more interested in being immune to logic and facts.

Right.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

I was honestly impressed with your restraint.

Dude.

Watching that video.

Dude, I would still why you would you would I would just be like I got a certain because you were just so patient and nice with them that I'm like at a certain point because they are saying offensive things.

Yeah.

Yeah.

At one point sounds like no because I actually read and yes, you're going to actually read

and study which is wild. I mean because I was like are you discounting the decade plus of education? Well, I thought I didn't read. which is wild. Cause I was like, are you discounting the decade plus of education? You thought I didn't read?

So this is like a serious question that I have now.

Oh, this one.

Like in your school.

No, I do not lick swords.

Technically speaking, the tongue can lick both a pen and a sword. But like, did you have to go through like training on like how to deal with people like psychologically

and stuff like that?

Yeah, it's called medical school.

Like...

No, no, no, I mean, first of all, why is everyone giving me so much credit for being patient? Are your doctors douchebags to you?

Absolutely.

I think it's...

Really?

Kinda, yeah. Are they? I got into a fight at the hospital last year. I told you this. What? With a physical fight? I couldn't get up. I was in the hospital for some stuff. Infections. That's things.

That's the medical term.

We need the plague doctor to come in and confirm.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. And so a doctor came in to speak with me and was, you know, I was expressing my frustration with the facility, with my situation, and he cut me off. And he's like, listen, young man, consider yourself lucky that you're being treated. And like, listen, I, I am very much so like when it comes to like customer service representatives and people dealing with people like that, I, I'm very patient. But in that situation, like to sit there and just be like, you listen to him, basically wagging his finger at my face,

I was like, what the?

So I got.

So that was the God complex right there.

It was, right?

It happens. I got fucking heated, and Becca, my wife had to put her hands on me, and she's like, you need to chill.

Wow, okay.

Frankie left a bad Yelp review after that.

Oh yeah. I'm not big on Yelp. I've never Yelped. I've never Yelped. But so we in preparation for today's episode wrote down a couple questions that we need help with. Okay, personally. Well, no, no, no. Not personally. No, no, no. Maybe one or two of them might be personal for me. I cannot confirm that all of them will be personal for any of us. Maybe Ant. I see at least seven on there that are specifically personal to you. So when we get to them. I don't like that. So I guess we can kind of start with the top one you brought up in one of your videos. Someone in this room has incredibly wet ears.

Now.

No, that's not how you say it.

Wet.

Soaking wet.

Wet.

Wet.

Just say a regular wet.

Wet.

All right, you're trying to mute it now. You're performing, now you're throwing off. You said regular wet. Say it how you would normally say it.

I have wet ears.

Yeah, that's correct.

What is this?

That's interesting.

Yeah, there's something going on there.

I do.

Medically, what the hell is that? Yeah, why would he have wet ears? something to help also they're wet right now like a lot right now with these on and this hat eventually they'll be they'll be soaking well that's sweat no

no no inside you know okay well like why would he have wet ears I'm worried about infection yeah okay yeah because that wet can be discharged that's that's concerning yeah gross word also genetically His earwax might be thinner. Oh

You're talking shit about your dad too. Yeah, your dad is my dad's ears suck to So like wait hold on now, this is a serious question too, there's different

Textures some people have thicker ones some people have drier thicker some people have wetter

Be on thinner you like those videos of people like getting them out of their ears. I hate it Some people have thicker ones. Some people have drier, thicker. Some people have wetter. Be honest. Thinner.

You like those videos of people like getting them out of their ears?

I hate it.

What?

Hate.

Why?

You hate getting the earwax out?

Yes.

Why? I love them. Do you know how many people come to me with busted tympanic membranes

because they were digging around in their ears We're gonna back that up real quick. What's the definition of what's a timpani? Ear drum, okay

Don't look for it, so it's next to the the the hammer

And the cop with the babies you're giving me all the right. I got I got babies, baby No, there's like the cochlear thing in there, right? Yeah the cochlear nerve. So So good. Oh shit, bro. Wait, this is really interesting because everyone loves digging in their ears with q-tips And that is the bane of every ENT doctors World and family medicine because they create so much irritation inside their ears. They get something known as otitis externa Oh God, it sounds like a wrestling.

Outer ear infection.

That's what it means.

Okay. We like creating fancy terms for some problems.

Don't like young kids doing that too. Can't you get like a surgery to prevent

like chronic ear infections or something like that?

No, what they do is they put tubes in in order to decrease that pressure from people who get recurrent infections. Yeah. For kids usually. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So how am I supposed to clean my ears?

You don't, dude.

Self-clean. Let them cure themselves.

Self-clean? Yeah, if you get a buildup of earwax and you're like, oh, now I can't hear because I have a buildup of earwax, there's drops that melt the earwax naturally come out and you could just wipe the outside which is what's happening. I'll be hanging out

sometimes I'll just go like that and fucking earwax will fall out. If the Q-tips aren't supposed to be in there why does it feel so good when you put them in your ear? Oh is there like a G spot in, man? I don't use Q-tips. I am an anti-Q-tipper.

Yeah, I haven't used a Q-tip in a while.

The Q-tip is meant for external cleaning purposes.

Like the, right here?

Yeah.

Okay. So, don't put it inside your ear. And what happens is if you have already irritated skin inside the ear canal, and then you're rubbing it. Just like when you have an itchy spot from like eczema, it's itchy and it feels good to scratch it, but then you're damaging your skin. So same principle, just inside your ear.

I'll tell you what, there was a time where I've probably done irreversible damage to my ear. Cause I'm thinking that if I got this thing, like I've heard that you don only issue with q-tips cuz I don't know so you were scooping so I was scooping

Oh, that's dangerous. Yeah, it's bad. Well, yeah, cuz you're hitting this skin inside there Yeah, again earwax is also protective it prevents the ear canal from drying out It prevents bugs from wanting to hang out there. it catches debris. Yo, I know. How often does that happen? That's a big thing.

That happens. That shit happens my fucking, I know someone that like, they were on like a canoe kayak situation down a river

and a fucking moth flew in their ear.

Oh.

Does that something you see?

I mean, not often. Okay, good. But I did just have a pediatric and had some throat pain afterwards, and they thought, oh, it's a barbecue, maybe there was a metal wire grill brush stuck in their throat.

And they did see something on the imaging, but they couldn't quite see what it was. Any guesses?

Spider.

Ant.

I don't know.

Pray mantis.

Potato chip.

That's your guess.

Potato chip. potato chip that's your guess potato chip they're spiky they hurt sometimes I don't know

the final letter of whatever it is that you're saying is always interesting

potato chip chip potato chip

cockroach leg

no I mean leg that's not that bad

leg with the little spines oh that's why I was hurting I don't know what the medical term for the cockroach leg spine is

yeah it's like one of those you, it's like They're barbed like That was told you dude. I told you on the smart one. It's a cockroach leg Well, you grew up in the same. Well, you grew up in New York. You're on our age You're a couple years older, which means you're basically agent to us Did you ever hear the myth of the person that got like cockroach eggs in their tongue or something like that? Do you remember that? I remember it was like one of those like 90s myths that like

Like marylin manson taking you know the ribs out or something like that but it was like the story was like someone licked An envelope that had a cockroach egg on it and it got into like the crease of their tongue and then they had like tongue Pain and they cut it open and fucking like cockroach eggs fell out and shit like that Oh my god, sounds like a Ripley's believe it or not And it was hosted by Dean Cain and he's never not been anything but incredibly accurate about everything. No idea who that is Now I'm just terrified because this thing can this can I can I?

I'm just I just irritated my ear, but it's fine. I can well I'm hoping you solved it like your body's immune system solved it and I have hair mechanism solved it well I haven't I also didn't know that you just don't clean out your ears you're not supposed to do this self-cleaning self-cleaning ears and vaginas two miracles of life

no self-cleaning yeah yeah yeah dogs mouth no no you should brush that I'm

not trying to do this to Frank in front of guests obviously But uh this is good the cockroach egg case hatching on the tongue a persistent urban legend and a hoax

That's what I said. It was a popular rumor. I didn't say it was real you asked him to try to get me into that Yeah, I asked if you've ever heard of something like that. How much did our of KK? You're trying to get me not

He's paid me nothing trust me of K-Power to say that. That's crazy that you're trying to get me. None.

He's paid me nothing, trust me. He does love whole milk though, so we don't know. To be fair, whole milk is delicious.

As long as you don't go raw, we're okay.

In a hot tub with Kid Rock though, I don't know any drink that would be good enough to

have that in the night.

Are you a big fan of the raw milk content? I'm not, I'm the enemy. No, you're an anti-milker. Anti-raw milker. An anti-raw milker, yeah. Yeah, no, I mean that is.

I think of myself less as an anti-raw milker and more of an anti-get parasite bacteria in your colon-er.

Oh yeah, oh, we're on the same page, baby.

Yeah, I feel like we're that out of my colon as well. Well, what I'm not even gonna talk about your colon And can you tee up the next question for us, please sir, which anything specific from your life? Stop doing this Frankie s here. I didn't ask anything We were asked to provide questions and I provided a time So does eating one hot dog really take ten minutes away from your life doesn't apply to you at all. That one is me. That one is 100% me, yeah.

10 minutes.

Well, they said, I mean, like, yeah, how do you measure?

Who's they?

The big, medical at large.

Big, big doctor. Big doctor.

Yeah.

These population studies cannot be translated into statistics that simplistically. So when we say like, oh, in general, nuts are healthy to eat. Yes, people love nuts. People should enjoy nuts,

but the nut is not gonna make you live eight years longer. So these are epidemiological studies that have been over simplified. So no, a hotdog does not shorten your life by 10 minutes.

Thank God, but it could be a factor in.

It could, but it's an ultra processed meat, which you should limit in your life by 10 minutes. Thank God. But it could be a factor in it. Could it's an ultra processed meat, which you should limit in your diet. Well, what if you get like good deli hot dogs? Still ultra processed.

Fourth of July. What about yeah.

Like what if it's like does the does the having it with a beer or seven beers offset the damage

of the hot dog?

You sound like I had this. This is sick I had a doctor come on my show and tell me that a healthy diet can remove the negative impacts of smoking And he's like if you smoke you can live longer. He said that on my show to my face Thank you. If you just you ever want to just rip heater just fucking bang like I want to hit my head Yeah, I mean, that's why I couldn't believe you when you're watching the, when I'm watching the Surrounded, I'm like, dude, if this was me. Yeah. No, the smoking thing got me like hard. It hit me in the heart.

I'm like, you're, you operate it on people's hearts.

And you think smoking makes people live longer? And he's just saying like, if you eat healthy,

but you just.

Yeah. And he said the longest living people in the hills and they're like, oh, I'm 109 and I have wine every day. And I, you know. Well, yeah, she's the one that makes the video that goes viral, but her 99 friends that had the same lifestyle that didn't live long. No one's hearing their TikToks from the grave.

The ones that died at 42.

Yeah, exactly.

That's why when like RFK goes, we got to make America healthy again, I'm like, which timeframe do you want to go back to? Cause in the 1900s we lived to age 30s.

Right.

Yeah, exactly.

What are you looking for?

Ancestors lived and I'm like, they were five, two.

Toe stub meant death.

Yeah.

He would visit you in that outfit to help you.

Diarrhea.

Yeah.

Diarrhea. million times worldwide people are still dying of diarrhea yeah it's a problem elsewhere we know this obviously is medical profession I'm now I'm gonna hit you no like obviously we're big fans of hot dogs here and we like to indulge every now and every day I'm not hyper optimist how much enjoy a hot dog how much you like hot dogs I love hot dogs sauerkra, dude. Sauerkraut, mustard. Oh, you lost me. He hates mustard. I hate mustard. Love sauerkraut, though. Love sauerkraut.

Just, it tastes like just garbage to me. He had an experience when he was younger, and I think that it just carried.

Oh yeah, it shaped the rest of my life. What was the experience?

I was like- Feel free to say pass. If you ask me for a story, this could be wildly traumatic. If you're asking for a story, you're getting it. My father died in a mustard accident.

I was like young, I was like five or six.

They cut open his tongue and there was mustard seeds everywhere.

Yes, mustard seeds and cockroaches.

The age of like when you're a kid, when like you need to know exactly what you're eating all the time. I was like five or six and someone gave me a bologna sandwich and I fucking love bologna and I didn't realize that on the bologna sandwich was mustard. So when I bit into it, it was so shocking to me. And then since then I've not had it.

I mean, we could pull back the fourth wall a little bit. I've had mustard recently in like in the near, like recent future, like the recent future, the recent past, the one that's coming soon, the recent past. And it's just like, all right. But like yellow mustard, I can't even I can't even stomach it.

So golden honey. What's I've had like like like you wouldn't give a Wendy's nugget in a honeymustard.

No, no, no, no. Wow.

Honey mustard's crazy that you don't like that. I can't honey mustards candy. Yeah, what's in it though? Honey and mustard well exactly in the Wendy's one that's question. Yeah

War gum they go like never frozen meat, but you don't know what's in a honey. Yeah, I forgot what it was

I think it was like a Starbucks drink or something one time and they like put out this Unicorn frappe or something like that and literally one of the ingredients was pink Yeah, and I was like, how is that? Legal to say just pink pink. I know it's pink. Yeah

Well, we just wanted to make sure we knew where you stood on hot dog I love hot dogs. How often how many a year would you say on average you have and I fucking honest

Wow, I'll have 20 a year.

Dude, that's a good number.

20 a year?

Hot dogs?

God damn it.

And he's...

Only because when I do indulge instead of hot dog, I do three.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You have to. If you're at the barbecue, right? And people are like, I'm taking orders, hot dogs, hamburgers. And are we counting three dogs picking a blanket? No, those are one pigs in a blanket, Doc. We're talking about hundreds now. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm already I'm already on the whole.

The big places where I have them you experts will know. Right, right. They have fancy foods now.

Yeah, they do.

You can get like a filet of fish, and sushi, and weird stuff. So when I go to a sports game, I get a hot dog.

Okay, that's how I am.

Not per se a healthy food, but also, What in Rome? Life is not healthy.

Right.

That's right.

No one gets out alive all the good sword tongue quotes you got thank you so much No one gets out alive. It's true. Only two things in life are guaranteed death taxes Well, some people don't pay taxes dad looking at you Dad are you there? So, but when you're at a barbecue, there's hamburgers and hot dogs. What's the order? Do you go one and one?

I try and pick. Oh, you like I'll go either team hot dog or team cheeseburger.

Does it depend on who's making them?

No. Oh, I don't discriminate. A hot dog is a hot dog. Oh, OK. I can't believe I'm saying this on camera. I've never had a bad hot dog.

Yo, me neither. I mean, it's a hard one to mess up. Yeah, you can mess it up. You ever had a Colombian hot dog? Actually, you know what?

I have had a bad hot dog.

Now that I think about it.

What? Who made that?

Bro, my dad, when I was like a teenager.

Your dad made it.

OK. No, when I was like a teenager, my dad was like little Columbia. And they gave me a hamburger, a cheeseburger and a hot dog that had like, I couldn't even tell you what was on it. It was like, it was wetter than like

if you would just taken it out from underwater. The hot dog. Yeah, and it was bad. I couldn't eat it.

I got sick from it.

It was that bad. on there at one point. Oh, that's a weird choice. Which like, I love ham. But that's not the hotdog's fault then. It's the person who cooked it.

It's the ingredients. It's the person who cooked it. Additional accoutrement. Accoutrement, good word.

That's right.

What's our next question before we keep going down the hotdog trend?

I have to say, the worst hot dog, cheap food, protein. It would be called sasiska.

Sasiska.

Sasiska.

Sasiska.

She would boil it.

Oh, but a boiled hot dog is good.

As opposed, oh, you gotta grill those.

It just wasn't great.

My dad would microwave them.

And put it on like eggs. Like eggs.

Put it on eggs.

And hot dogs. Eggs and hot dogs. That's what I would have as my immigrant meal.

That's what I used to have as a young lad too.

What's your background?

My father's Colombian, my mom is Greek and Egyptian.

Okay.

So, but my mom didn't like that.

Which culture you think led that hot dog egg experiment?

The father.

Yeah.

Let's make that abundantly clear. My mom was like trying to like eat healthy and like had fruit and stuff in the house.

Wow chips, you remember those chips? No.

You don't remember, do you remember wow chips? Are those like a healthy chip?

They were the ones, they were like healthy corn chips but they were like, they had something in them that made people shit their pants. I don't know if my mom shit her pants My dad was the one that'd be like, you know, for breakfast, here's a fucking lollipop and eggs and hot dogs, which It's a healthy breakfast right there.

Good times. You- Well, based on the new food pyramid or upside down food pyramid.

That's right.

Yes, yes, yes.

My, my, uh, my fiance has a master's in public health. So I've gotten the whole, the food pyramid is definitely a sore spot.

Yeah. sore spot with her. She's like. In what way? What upsets her most? Well, she's like just very,

she's like, this is completely insane. Like everything that they're doing, like everything's upside down or whatever, but, or like there should be like more veggies or something in there.

I forget the exact. Well, all those things are right. But the wildest thing is they're attacking the food pyramid that we haven't used in like 20 years. Yeah. Can you imagine if I go and I start fact-checking from when they were plague doctors and being like, I can't believe doctors did this stupid. Yeah.

Well, yeah, they didn't know. They didn't have microscopes.

Yeah. And also that was another thing too. I feel like the food pyramid was just like something that was on the wall.

In one room about it. Yeah. I mean, we talked about it. It was 20 years ago. So we learned, we got better. And then they go, remember that thing they did? Yeah, 20 years ago. We don't do that anymore. We learned from it. We got better.

What about the plate?

Yeah, the healthy plate.

The healthy plate.

Yeah, that was the replacement for the food pyramid.

Right. That's an easier way to kind of figure out like how you're supposed to eat. But there were no hot dogs on this plate. There was definitely not a hot dog.

Unfortunately, there were no hot dogs.

I mean, can you imagine?

It's a protein.

I'm sure if you have enough of that.

I mean, it's ultra processed meat and ultra processed meat.

If you consume enough of it, it does raise your risk of certain conditions. like it's a bad thing oh it is I know well for your colon listen man my colon

else ship is saying yes you're better than okay what do we got next it

considering that you were so curious about these things would you like to go to male nipples or piss what would you like to stop can you stop this just give us a question okay not me Frankie no I often hold my pee to the point my stomach hurts why Why does it make my stomach? Okay? That was using I that you can't hide

That's fair. That is why do you do? Why do you hold it? I'm on a long car ride I mean sometimes I like to I've said this before sometimes I like to like Wait until like I have to like I'm about to piss to go pee which I've been told is probably a bad thing to do I feel like you can feel that Feel that's bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but but I don't

Like I'll be what was even the question. I don't it's his I don't know Why am I holding so if like? If someone were to hold in like their piss, why does their stomach start to hurt?

Related nerves in the same area, but really it's it's lower abdominal super pubic discomfort that you're having

Supra supra supra supra You don't know about my superic area. I'm talking about my super pubes! You don't know about my pubes.

Super's nuts. Let's go regular. Average pubic area. So it's just like discomfort in the area is going to affect everything.

Yeah, and the longer urine sits in the bladder, the more static it is, meaning it's not moving around, the more likely it is to develop a stone, the more likely to develop an infection. So you want to keep things moving.

I think there was another urine related question in there.

Oh, you're in trouble man.

Yeah, I think, well, I think if I remember, I'll ask it.

Because I-

This one is yours.

I'm gonna be honest with you.

Most of them are mine.

Yeah.

Most of them are mine.

Um, but like we've seen examples of people drinking urine.

You have

he likes to drink it. I don't know why out of necessity.

It's not.

And apparently it's, wait, it doesn't, no, it doesn't hydrate you at all.

Oh, well that completely ruins-

It dehydrates you worse.

That completely ruins my question, because it's all the toxins that you're getting

out of your body that you're re-ingesting.

No toxins.

Thank you, thank God.

I mean, the general concept, right?

Nope.

It's waste, but not toxins. So, what is the argument? He's saying it does. Yeah, it just does it. And you're saying it dehydrates you. It's not dehydrates you, it does not hydrate you. Okay. It's not a replacement for drinking water.

Look at it.

And then there's people that think like it gives them some sort of nutrient that they're missing. They're like, oh, it has electrolytes. I'm like, so do food. Yeah. supplement. Yeah, you don't need to drink the urine. Look in the camera and tell Bear Grylls he's an idiot. I did a whole reaction video to his thing, calling him out so I feel bad and he does things that I can never do so I can't call him

an idiot. Of course, like drink his piss. And him and my dog share the same name. So well, you wanna hear something crazy? His name's not Bear. No way. No duh. He's like Arnold. Look up Bear Grylls man. If my name, to be fair, if my name was Arnold, I'm changing it to Bear. I mean, if you're a guy that goes out and like lives with bears, I think you can call yourself Bear.

I don't think he lives with bears. Well, you know, he's like around them.

He avoids them.

No, he does wild stuff. Didn't we react to that too? Man, we do a lot of reactions. We didn't do it at all. Naked and afraid, alone.

Naked and afraid is crazy.

Yeah, that's weird. I need pants.

I don't know how people do that because I would be afraid of being naked

and then afraid of, yeah.

Yeah, the bugs.

Forget the bugs. That's why people are like, it's natural. Super pubic area His name was Edward Edward I said was I didn't mean that yeah Yeah, that's true. Well, did he legally Edward Michael Edward Michael grills? Wait is guy Fieri's real name guy. I Actually think so. I think that is a real name. That's cool. Imagine it was Edward I mean I delivered babies if I walked in you delivered babies. Yeah, dude, that's crazy I bring the baby and I say what's the baby's name? They go bear I go question. Yeah

What's the coolest baby name that you've helped I don't know they're not cool Your mu forget them Frank Mike Joe and that's patient privacy I can't tell you that I mean you want to break it right now

Yeah Joe and that's patient privacy. I can't tell you that. I mean you're gonna break it. Oh, right. Yeah

You got me. Honestly. Yeah

You've delivered babies as well. I think I delivered 38 babies 30 people log during residency Do you think have any of those babies like gotten old to the point where they're just like you delivered me?

I love yeah, they're my patients though family medicine. It's beautiful Deliver the baby take care of the baby, take care of the grandparents of the baby, everybody.

That is such an insane thing.

It's an amazing job.

That's such a crazy thing.

And they're just like, yo.

And one of the lowest paying specialties, which we should change.

Yeah, what the fuck, doctors?

It's the doctors that are withholding it.

It's the hospitals.

And that's right, it's the privately owned hospitals Leon hospitals that are to blame. Let's blame someone right now. Bear Grylls is the blame. My question was going to be, and I guess you're not going to be able to answer this because you've already debunked that urine is good to drink.

I was going to ask that.

If you were to let me, can I throw something in real quick? Of course, a famous celebrity the other day messaged me asking me if she should drink her own urine because her friend was doing it Can I blow up her spot? I I would love to break HIPAA right now Well, no, it wasn't if it was it wasn't an official patient consultation. I love that

I mean, I don't want you to call them out, but an exclusive

First time saying this on air Mariah Carey Kristen Bell. I can't believe oh

Really consider drinking

urine that is insane can't drink can't drink you said no I said no I did it respectfully of course but then it turned out one of her cast mates on her show was actually tricking her into thinking she was drinking urine by creating drinks that look like you're so much so that she can reach out to me.

That's a great prank.

That's a really good prank that one of us is gonna try.

Yeah, very close.

Well, it got her so much that she's like,

let me ask this doctor I know on social media.

Honestly, that's a level of pranking that it just gets into their psyche

and they're just like, I kind of need to do their leg. Well, it puts life into perspective for me. Cause she can reach out at her disposal, Ivy league physicians, all these people that run departments. She goes, no, let me ask the YouTube dude.

That's where I fall in. You're probably more trusted than most like medical professionals. I would hope so. You have the most I mean, I don't know but I feel like the access that you have through social media is like That's what makes that true. Yeah

Well, I also aim to be as transparent as possible. So people know why I'm recommending things Yeah, as opposed to just being like the doctor you had that was like screw you. Sorry

I was getting screwed by the doctor. Yeah

That's breaking hipIPAA for sure. Can't have that.

Now I know where the infection came from.

But also I just wanna like, just give you like the, like you still work in a hospital.

Oh yeah, half the week is hospital life, which is training residents. So when they see patients, they need to present the patient to me. If they need help with a procedure, it's complicated, I'll go in with them. And then I also see my own patients.

And any of your patients ever be like, wait a second?

All the time. Really?

Yeah, it happens now more than ever because YouTube is so prevalent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it's only been a positive, largely.

That's good. I went to the hospital once and it was that same hospital visit and they said like, listen, we need to treat you for possible sepsis, we need you to undress.

And I was-

This is, you've been septic multiple times?

My guy.

What are you doing?

That's why I'm talking hot dogs don't mean a thing to me.

You've been septic multiple times?

Possible. multiple times. Are you immunocompromised? Oh yeah.

I got it all.

No I don't. He's going for the record. But like they said like we need to, you need to like get in the gown, the robe. And I was in such bad situation

that they were like, do you want help getting undressed? And I was like, sure. And they got me in the robe and the guy goes, by the way, situation that they were like, do you want help getting undressed? And I was like, sure. And they got me in the robe and the guy goes, by the way.

Huge fan.

And then he walked out the room. I was like, yo, this guy just saw my infected wiener like body. Don't do that.

No, I'm wieners not infected. That's I mean, you were leading us right there. I mean, I feel like me as an infected individual. That's what I meant to say. And people do sound different.

People do sound big fan at weird times. I've gotten complimented before on my content at the urinal.

Oh, I mean that's crazy play. If anything has happened to me before.

I was gonna say, if anything, that's normal.

Is it?

Or a guy being like, like your stuff.

Like your work.

The stuff on the internet. A ton of followers, huh? A doctor saw my penis recently, but that didn't happen to me. Yeah. So he wasn't like, saw my penis, was like big fan, because that would have mortified

me.

I'd be like, all right.

It's a pre-penis conversation.

Feel free to pass. What was the feedback?

Bad penis?

He said, bad penis.

He looked at me and went, boo, boo. He went, oh my god. Bad penis. He said bad penis. He looked at me and went Buhh

He went oh my god

And then he just No I went to the dermatologist and he just got like a quick And he said everything was all good

But I don't know if he was talking about

Sick. Was he saying about the news cycle? Yeah yeah

Everything's all good out there

In here though kind of

rough yeah I don't know how you know it also wasn't my best it wasn't a good time I wasn't expecting it to happen bad bad dick day yeah and I was you know it's a doctor's office it's cold yeah the lights you know the lights I don't know how that whatever you need to say yeah I'm glad someone someone is calling him out on his i'm saying whatever I appreciate it Normally, it's just me having to call him out on his nonsense

I try not to use words like good or bad. I try and describe what i'm looking at great. Awesome No, those are also not shitty Everything looks normal. Everything looks normal, but is there is normal? Is it normal subjective? It's actually objective.

Oh, in the medical sense.

Well, that's what I'm here for.

Grammar.

Like, anything.

So we have the subjective portion of the exam, which is you tell me everything that's going on. Yeah. So you telling me it's normal is subjective me looking at it and writing that it's normal. That's a that's objective. Yeah

No, but I get what you're saying like normal the sense of like what the body should be doing in this situation is normal sure You got nothing. Two thumbs up. You got it, Frankie. You walked us there. What else we got over there?

I just want to make a note here that the Bear Grylls drinking, Frankie Curious About Drinking His Own Pee is not on here.

On the official list. Oh, you added that.

No, I did send that over. It must have been scrubbed. Oh, then maybe I deleted that question when it got scrubbed. It got scrubbed because what I was going to ask is if it's sterile and you can drink it, in theory, can you age it like wine and it would be tastier?

That sounds so horrific.

I wouldn't do it. I'm just asking.

I would put that beneath raw milk.

Aged urine. Oh, that's a good question. So are you more likely to drink raw milk or 10-day-old piss? I don't I want pass. Do you ever think you'd be sitting in this room right now

answering these questions when you went through medical school?

We're going to get a long email of cuts later.

Hey guys, remember that hyphen? Piss or raw milk?

The raw milk thing I think is so interesting. Why do you think they're almost allowed to sell it, I guess?

They're not in some places, but then they say it's for animal consumption and not for humans. And they bypass the rules much in the way that they sell peptides these days. I'm sure you guys have heard of peptides. Yeah, of course. They're not really allowed to sell peptides, but they sell them for research purposes only

So it's just these loopholes. It's a loophole. I Think don't isn't like women's breast milk the same way like

What

I'm cutting that episode and just replaying it a thousand times.

I heard that it's like legally you can't sell women's breast milk

but like There's a market for them.

Top day at work for Dr. Markman.

There's a market for them.

I sat surrounded by 20 anti-vaxxers and it wasn't as tough as this conversation. It's getting hot. I take my time. And it wasn't as tough as this conversation These are the deleted scenes from the Kid Rock RFK video

We just talked about that that was crazy first of First of all, cold plunge in jeans.

Come on.

Yeah, that is, that is something.

There's something going on with his legs.

Like you, you have scarred up legs or something.

My legs, I do. My legs are mostly scars. Biceps?

No, no, no, no.

That was elsewhere, baby.

No, no, no. One time on an episode said that like I had to get my leg like shaved or or something and I Saw like I was like, oh my god. I have so many scars on my leg I'm what just like like hitting it against you know Like sports hitting it against something and like it just heals and you did like a kickboxing thing I never did kickboxing. This is not even true. So I don't even know what sport soccer Football I played baseball. You keep saying saying sports that don't require hitting your legs

No, but like when you get like turf burn that can leave scarring when you like when you people are like your legs aren't mostly Scars, what are you justifying? I am referencing I one time had my my knee got cut open by an ax. That happened. That left scars. I got knee surgery.

No, that was another one.

Yeah.

I don't like how this episode is being targeted at me,

I just gotta say.

You're pulling the reins here, buddy. You got any other questions that feel like they're not from Frank? I know that answer's no, but um feel like they're not from Frank. Oh, yeah sure

it is a

What is more useless an appendix or male nipples and if you suck male nipples long enough will they lactate?

Okay, I did write the first half of the question. I don't know where that second half come for it

Yeah

Well, we're on breast milk

What is I'm glad that's where you went first. Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to save this you're warming me up to it

You got a foreplay the nipples a little bit so we can pull that right out the gallbladder

I think there's another one you just pull out. We're good. Yeah, they have utility Yeah, you can't live without you can live with one kidney, but you prefer to have two. It's nice to have a backup.

But an appendix.

An appendix. What does it actually do? It functions as part of your immune system when you're young. It also is a home for the microbiome, some of the bacteria that naturally colonize your intestine. So it does have some uses, but you can't live without it.

So like at a certain, but you said when you were young, so at a certain point, does it kind of like stop pulling its own way?

It's not a life-sustaining organ.

Retired.

Can't live without, I guess you could't live without a full heart, can't live without a brain. I'm curious. You have to answer when I count to three. Most important organ in the body that you believe. One, two, three.

Heart.

Skin.

Or brain.

I was thinking one of you would say heart, one of you would say brain. I would say that's beautiful.

But you went skin. one of you would say brain I would say that's beautiful, but you went skin

Well, you can't what's the biggest organ that I know I mean like everything is held together by your skin

It's probably held together by your fascia, but Oh

fascia, yeah the the

The organ that is least talked about what is it? It's everywhere It holds you together like if you ever done a dissection in an anatomy lab, you'll see that there's a lot of weird connective tissue. Like what is that?

That's fascia.

Huh.

Of the plantar variety.

Of the full body variety.

Plantar fascia.

Yeah.

Fasciitis. My actual answer was brain. I forget that I said skin.

Okay. Yeah. Okay, so why brain? Controls everything why heart I mean if it stops we're done But you can live with an artificial heart can't live with an artificial brain. What's it? How long can you live with artificial heart? You're in the hot seat I don't know But you we're getting there longer longer Longer than you can without an artificial, like you can't live without an artificial brain

for a second.

Well, if you give someone, no you can't.

So I'm right?

Yeah.

What was it?

Brain?

I'm on a roll.

I think brain is more important. You could have brain death and still have heart and lung function by having a ventilator keep you alive. However, if you lose a full brain, you lose the ability to even have the heart pump.

So I always remember the story, like learning about it in psychology of like Phineas Gage.

Yeah.

And I thought that was like, because you hear about like any sort of like trauma to the brain. You think like as a kid, it's like oh, it's instant this guy got a fucking like whole rod through his head and continue to live

Do you do you think there's any part of the body organ or just whatever part that eventually will be born without?

Like we're just not using Man, see this is a great question. I'm not smart enough to answer that question fair enough. We got him with one. We got him with one. I wrote that one. I wrote that one.

We got him with one.

He's just not going to say something that he doesn't know for sure.

No, of course. Well, this is why you're trusted

is because in that situation,

we would just say it.

Something's gonna happen with our mouths because our mouths are getting smaller. Is that true? What about like my but I'm not a dentist so I'm speaking outside. What about my pinky toe? What about it? That's a good balance point. Oh your pinky toe though pinky and big toe

Yeah

But like mine is like sideways. You never saw heartbreak kid. I did see heartbreak kid Remember he was telling her the lie about hanging out with a guy at golf and he only had the outer toes

I don't remember that well, I like movies. You only have the outside.

Yeah, he's like it allowed him to maintain the swing. Can we play the clip so I don't look like a faggot?

No, it's fine.

So finally, you look like an idiot for once.

It's a good movie.

Underrated.

First movie I ever got kicked out of. What? Heartbreak Kid?

Stop. No heartbreak kid. I tried to go watch heartbreak kid with my like high school girlfriend and they were like, you're not watching this. And they kicked me

out because I was

13.

So you tried to sneak it.

Oh, yeah. You ever sneak into a

movie?

You break the law, Doc.

Did I ever sneak into a movie?

You, you, would you consider

yourself a bad boy criminal?

I've definitely been over the speed limit by a couple of miles an hour. Yeah. So I got to admit to that.

I've seen the cars. Yeah, I would, too, to be honest.

Do I ever sneak into a movie theater? I feel like I must have overstayed and watched two movies. Yeah, that's a good one of those things.

Got to hide a little fifth grade or something. I don't think I even hid. It was just like middle of the day and they're like, no one's here.

We don't care.

Yeah, exactly. I'm going to ask you a series of questions.

That's what a podcast is.

Go ahead.

These are two different answers. What's your favorite movie of all time and what's the best movie of all time is not one people love. That's okay, mine too. Man on Fire. That's a good movie.

Oh, okay.

I think it's so underrated. Denzel. Oh yeah. Dakota Fanning. A lot of celebrity appearances, Mark Anthony. Music is phenomenal.

Story's great. I need to watch Man on Fire. Scott directing. I mean, it was good stuff.

What was your answer? The mask. Oh, my God. You know that I'm not a Jim Carrey fan. Oh, why? What happened?

I don't know. You said that with like hate in your.

No, no. When I came to America, like he was really popular and I was just like, oh, it's OK.

Oh, OK. And what do you saw?

Mighty was OK. Liar, liar was kind of cool.

He loves the mask and I watched it in within the last two years and it sucks. It doesn't it is so good It is so good. All right now, but what if you were in like a you know, like barroom conversation with your buddies What do you think would you argue is the best movie of all time?

it's so hard to pick one I have a list but I Really I I find myself coming back to Good Will Hunting a lot. Really? I just watched that recently again. So good. Like Shawshank. Goodfellas. Goodfellas I've re-watched a million times. Oh yeah. I'm like almost sick of it now. Yeah but you know what's sick if it's still on I still like it. Hell yeah.

The hoof. The hoof. You cut the hoof. What about, what about, I remember I had knee surgery and I remember waking up and it was

like a party in there with like music and shit like that.

You woke up during your surgery?

Yeah.

Oh wow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I was, uh.

Did you leave a bad Yelp review for that one?

Yeah.

The attacks on me today, I'm just going to throw this out there are out of control. No, no, no, no. I mean, I would if I wake up.

No, no, no. I am writing and I get it.

I asked it was so it was high school sports. My knee was destroyed. And they said, like, hey, you can wake up during the surgery if you want. We'll give you an epidural. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Whatever. So you woke up and I woke up pain free. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I woke up and there was like cold play was going and people were like, yeah,

surgeons jam. What's your jam music? I know you're not a surgeon. I know you're not a surgeon. I'm saying like, what is your jam? White noise.

We play white noise. I don't know like top 50 stuff. Nothing. Nothing special Eminem. I just listened to kill shot this morning

I don't know why

Kill shot. Yeah, that is crazy. Okay. No, I just like

Five years ago was it Making it sound like kill shot came out in the 70s

Beatles you give me props, but I'm right. I'll shot you go that long ago. Well, no not the length It was the song is feel just a random 50 song like that like he loves like fucking pitbull or flow right? He does my dad likes pitbull your dad likes pitbull Yeah, we're learning about this guy in real time Joey loves to point out people's lack of you know current music no what do you guys like no he's gonna listen to like he'll be like a drink Drake who which team are you on one two three one two three I don't know enough about it I Two three I don't know enough about it. I will say though that like of the music I've heard I like more Kendrick Lamar stuff that I do Drake stuff who's hotter Matt Damon or Brad Pitt one two three Matt Damon

Hotter I mean you like Matt Damon. Oh, I think Matt Damon Brad Pitt. There's some stuff. I just watched Excusing whatever I don't even know

you're talking about you know what's funny you guys didn't even catch that I

reference heartbreak hit again I brought it up once oh man what else we got on the docket?

I have a question with the craze of you know like all these medical shows like which one would you say is the most accurate?

The pit. Yeah, yeah, the pit is so good. Ten out of ten. I heard it's just limited notes. I have one note I wish they did chest compressions a little better

How are you supposed to do a proper chest compression? Push hard and fast, center the chest two inches deep, about 100 beats per minute.

Stay alive.

He knows two inches deep.

Well, that means he does great CPR.

You're a nation of lifesavers.

At first I was afraid.

I was petrified.

That's the office.

I've reacted to that one too.

That's such a good clip. Is it true that with chest compressions there could be like injuries with that yeah, but the person's dead If you don't do it no no they're dead. Oh, that's when they get you're doing chest compressions because the heart has stopped So oh they're dead right and you're squeezing the heart by pushing the chest two inches deep which you were very accustomed to doing

Yeah, and this is crazy

You said it.

He said it.

You dapped him up.

Yeah he did.

Not because of the truth.

Because of the joke.

The dap is the ultimate sign of yes it's too much.

You co-signed him right now. I forgot where I was going with this. But the heart is already stop. Oh, yeah, the heart is stopped So you're squeezing the heart to circulate the blood that still has some residual oxygen in it and you're trying to buy time for EMT

Sir, I mm-hmm. All right, aren't there stories though of people doing chest compressions and like breaking? Yeah

Yeah, again, if you're doing that in order to keep that person's brain alive, that's worth it

You trade a rib for brain. You said brains's the most important. Damn right. Yeah. I would make that trade.

All right, Merrill Manson, relax.

but there was one time he was on a,

a tennis court and a guy like had a heart attack or something and he was doing

like either chest compressions. While person's alive like talking no no no they like went down and they were like I I forget the story but he had to give him CPR and he's like and I was giving this guy CPR and then he just threw up in his mouth that's a bad one I don't know what has to happen for that. You set it up saying he had a heart attack.

Heart attack does not require CPR. So cardiac arrest. That could have just been a character.

We got a lot of daddy issues on this side of the set.

I don't know.

This guy and I stubbed his toe on daddy and he's giving him CPR.

Well I've seen videos on social media. Someone's like a little bit out of it and they're giving them CPR. I'm like, no, no, no, no. If they're out of it, that means their heart is still beating because they're moving.

Right.

So you don't want to squeeze their chest when their heart's beating. I also like, I don't know if this is true, to the mouth is not a thing? Yeah, so people used to not do CPR for people because they were worried, oh, I have to do mouth to mouth. So we said, forget mouth to mouth. The most important thing is pushing hard, fast

and center of the chest after you call for help. And that means either you're calling for help or you're saying, you pink, neon pink scrubs, you call 911 and you have to say yes and then I start the chest compressions. That's right. We do the rescue breaths in situations when a person has been down for a long period of

time.

So if someone drowned, for example, and you find them, odds are they don't have residual oxygen in their blood. So you need to give them rescue breaths and then start pushing hard and fast. But if someone just collapsed, they still have oxygen in their blood vessels. So you can start pushing right now.

One more time, do that one more time.

Oh, and this isn't even good form. Sorry, this is good form.

You gotta get on top.

Yeah, you wanna lock down elbows. This isn't a tricep extension.

Oh, so lock them out.

Lock them out, because you wanna use your body weight over them.

So lock them out like this. That's hyper. for And with him, you know, I got it

Long drive home for me. Oh, dr. Mike said I have a condition

He referenced my sepsis

What else we got boy how many times have you had sepsis just to clear I've never it for the rain septic Let me make that abundantly clear. I have been treated for I'm getting pretty close.

Got it.

Okay.

We'll talk off air. You ever been septic?

What are the requirements?

Uh, basically.

There's SERS criteria plus an infection source.

Mm-hmm. Oh, so that's yeah. You many times then.

Who the fuck are you?

We can pop up the source criteria. Speaking of all Frankie's trips to the sepsis hospital here,

Frankie, you're mentioning that hospitals have the same smell, you're saying?

Yes. All hospitals I've been to smell exactly the same. And all casinos I've been to smell exactly the same.

Are you sure it's just you're not smelling yourself? Because it seems like everywhere you go it smells the same.

Let me finish the question. That's a great... that's probably it. I need to ask the question.

You're like, every time I go here it smells this air.

Well no, my question was going to be seriously, do hospitals like... My casinos put like stuff through the vents in order to like, so it's like oxygenated in there. Oh, how like the fancy hotels have their own unique sense. Yes. Do hospitals have like a specific air filtration system that like makes it so it smells a certain way? We do have HEPA filters

because for infection control purposes we keep it low humidity specifically because it decreases infection. We don't pump scent though. That's not a thing.

Would you say like essentially smelling super clean air? clean. Yeah, or I guess it's like a little like a rubbery Yeah, it smells a lot of equipment like the gloves. Yeah, what's with the paper? Why the paper paper? It's horrible on the on the on the sheet disposable, but like can we it's just cuz do you want to sit in someone else's

But no no no

To what to a comfort more UV light what about it? Are you just saying words?

whole milk a

Whole milk bath that you can sit in that's been homogenized

the Never mind. I know the answer to that question. I was gonna say there's like a little box. So basically what I'm smelling is What I'm smelling is just a combination of like

Cleaner air. Yeah, probably you're smelling a lot of disinfectants as well. We're cleaning things a lot.

Yeah.

Do they, do they have, have any hospitals or doctor's offices come up with like disinfecting like grenades so like they can just close the door to it off like a room and they throw something in

and then it goes off and like.

Frank, guess. I mean, this might be a good business idea. All right. If you're looking to invest.

Clean grenades.

But like, name your apartment.

Like, for instance.

He definitely before this, saw a TikTok video where someone did that transition where they throw the grenade and the room got clean.

He goes, I want that grenade.

Well, like, if I were to take two Lysol cans and just stab them with knives and then throw them into a room you'd go to jail I'm not saying like where there are patients I'm saying like, you know, like that room over there and I close it off. Would it do a good job cleaning that room?

I can't answer that question. I have never ran that experiment. So I have a question

So, you know how restaurants have people show up from the health Department and they like check to make sure everyone's doing the thing. Does that happen in hospitals?

Absolutely. How often? Very often. And they do surprise visits. It's called JCO. I say good. What's it? It stands for something. It's an acronym.

So they show up and they like make sure that everything's like...

In insane verification of processes. Like where do you keep your sharps? How do you dispose of them? How often are they coming? Are you getting your expiration dates generally restocked? Like everything is checked. Oh, you have a water bottle in the nursing station that's unopened? Why? Yeah. So they're really strict. People freak out when they-

And who sets those standards?

This hospital accreditation system.

And they-

And it's based on if the hospital takes money from the federal government, because then they have to follow the federal government's rules for hospital

mandates.

Do have. Is it like typical for a hospital to like get shut down

or something like that?

Typical? No, but they definitely have to do make goods and then they come back and check and make sure

that they'll give them like this needs to be rectified in a week and then we'll be back I've like worked in a pizzeria before when the health department shows up it's a pizzeria hospital wait wait so when but that day when they if they get a heads up like a half an hour like they're gonna be in a half an hour that's like all of a sudden we got to start wearing like gloves and hairnets or whatever, which you typically don't do. They surprise us. Okay.

It's like random drug testing for athletes.

All right, they just knock on your door.

They just knock on your door.

I mean, let-

And then everyone freaks out,

Jake goes here, get the food out of here.

Yeah.

Well, that used to happen too when I worked at Target. Like food, like specifics food inspectors would come because a lot of the targets had like a pizza hut or Starbucks in it and like they would just walk in the door and be like we're gonna check yeah and I'm sure

they send also surprise inspectors to some places right I don't know for hospitals oh just like just like as a regular consumer oh yeah I'd be that would be better I'd be so good yeah trouble for that I don't know but they should be not you though not me that's No. I can't get in trouble for that. Damn right. But they do make coatings for equipment in the hospital that are antibacterial coatings.

What does that mean? Like coatings on something?

Like the keyboards and the mice are coated.

So you can't get a gaming mouse and bring it into the-

I mean, you could call them bacteria static, that the bacteria can't multiply on them.

What is the reason why we don't use that more?

Expensive, doesn't work with some materials, et cetera.

I feel smarter already.

I feel like I learned something and then it's completely negated by the next conversation. I'm like, I can't remember anything, I just know that Frank's got like diarrhea or something. Stop! Alright, I'm back for a little bit more ads. The next one being SeatGeek.

Sure.

He's here for a reason.

No, no, this is great.

It's like I get to fact check live.

Creamer in their coffee. I hear that a lot of people do it, thinking that there's nothing to it,

but it carries a lot.

That's the worst habit.

I think it's a bad one.

I didn't say worse.

That's what the question is. No, the question was, what's a bad thing? It could be anything though.

I'm not gonna reread the question.

Yeah, you should agree with him.

But I'm gonna agree with him.

I'm gonna agree with him.

Go ahead.

It's probably something to do with sleep. The fact that we don't respect sleep. That eight hours is like critical. for as an adult. Children's different, older people's different. Older people don't eat as much. Really?

After 65, yeah.

Is that why they're always up?

Because they're sleeping for like an hour and a half

in the middle of the day, that's why.

No, no. Old bastards can't stay awake. I just went to, I just took a flight home at 6 a.m. so I could beat the storm that we just had. here is old. Like they're up at this time. It was like a very early flight. I'm like, I would never, like, there was no one really there that was like around my age. Like everyone is like 65 plus.

I mean, when you don't sleep well, your body has to counteract this fatigue that you're feeling. So you go into fight or flight mode. And when you're in this fight or flight mode, you're not healing well, you're not digesting well, you're not repairing well. And as a result, your blood pressure is higher, your hormone shifts are generally unhealthy for that day, your food choices are not healthy, you're putting on weight.

So it's like impacting your mental health, your physical health, all around. So sleep, we need to make love to our sleep.

And how do you, if someone has trouble sleeping, how would you suggest that they sleep better?

It takes a visit with someone like me who will try to figure out what is the issue. Some people have trouble falling asleep, which is one issue. You can have people who can't stay asleep. They wake up at 2 a.m. and can't go back to sleep. Those are two different issues and have different treatments for both. In general, what I'm seeing people struggle with the most is their sleep hygiene, their ability to do good things

to help them fall asleep well. So exposing themselves to early morning light, making sure their bedroom is really dark, cool. There's things like not looking at your phone right before bed and exposing yourself to blue light can hurt your ability to fall asleep.

So there's all of these things that need to be taken into account that most people brush off and go, just give me a pill. And the pill is not a solution.

Is the magnesium thing? Like a-

It overstated.

Oh.

Yeah.

So it's not really like a huge. Yeah, no. I wish it was. What about melatonin? How easy would that make my life? And melatonin is tricky because melatonin is good, where I use it the most probably is for jet lag, resetting someone's circadian cycle.

So let's say you were in one time zone and now you're coming back to this one and you wanna reset, taking melatonin now before bedtime could be totally reasonable to reset. But people are taking it every single day. So they're becoming reliant on it, which is not good.

And second, they're also taking huge doses. There's people taking like 10 milligrams, 20 milligrams, where you're really supposed to use like one, two, maybe three, and people are going way too far on it.

I've done it five, I think one time.

I get it, one time is, it's like a hot dog, you know what I'm saying?

It's not.

Fourth of July, you wanna rip a bunch of fucking melatonin and be my guest. Not medical advice that I share.

Hold on.

This is what he does. Hold on. That's a great idea. Yeah. A line of hot dogs that have trace amounts of melatonin in them so you can have a pre-bed

dog.

Why is everyone looking at me? You want to eat a hot dog? I was hoping you had like a silence button. I do hear that. And, and we'll call it sleepy dogs. Oh, that was the game?

Oh wow, that was a good idea.

I mean, in theory, you can just put melatonin in anything.

I don't think that's true.

I think it's regulated. In theory, like that like saves you. Also eating a hot dog before bed that's not a rule

It's a ideally if you're struggling with reflux, maybe don't eat two hours before bedtime

but what do you like so the the blue light one is an actual question because like I We like recently saw something that this is like this new thing where it's called like.

Blue light glasses.

No, no, not just blue light glasses, but like it's like sleep revenge or something. And it's like, people are like trying to like stay up later because during the day they don't get enough time. Like I have young kids. So like me and my wife, but she'll go to sleep, and I'll like

You know scroll like the news or something

When I say the news

Yeah

News on the new Disney Plus Power Rangers show we said me and my wife have some time together I was like oh, that's so romantic. We do we like no, no, we got the hell away from each other. No, no, no, no, no

No, well, we'll like watch something together Well, we'll talk whatever but I'm saying like she'll go to sleep before me and then I'll scroll The news

How long before bed do you think is like blue light a bad thing? Like what should be the buffer? I would get rid of it an hour before. An hour. Yeah. And that's like conservative because you want to A, limit the blue light exposure because that's play some role because you can shift some settings in your phone to decrease blue light anyway. But the more important thing is when you're looking at the news, because you're clearly a consumer. Power Rangers watches. looking at your friends, what they're up to, what your ex partners are up to on social media, that is not contributing

to a good night's sleep. That's making you more anxious.

Like I really like, and it really is like, I stay off social media because I don't, I don't like, I try to stay away

from social media as much as I can.

How do you get your news? When you, when you scroll through the news, it's not

really news. It's like entertainment stuff. Yeah, where, what website or what app? It depends. So like I open Google Chrome and at the bottom it'll have like a series of suggested things like here are the top Pokemon cards of this new release. Like here's like the news on...

Targeting stuff.

You know.

We're about to go to war and you're talking about Pokemon card releases.

Never mind. Stay on the phone. It sounds like you have the perfect sleep

They're gonna get rid of Bulbasaur

You Bulbasaur don't ever disrespect the number one Pokemon. Oh

People scroll on Google Chrome. Is that a thing? I do

I'll show you exactly what I do. Don't make it worse. Look, I open Google. Tell me the first news story.

Yeah.

Read it out loud.

Discover MLB The Show.

MLB The Show, the video game.

Yeah.

All right. Jean-Georges, I can't say that, tin building his clothes. 10 best watches without a date window. That's a good let's hear that you want to hear that I mean of course Netflix sub is number one What a net I mean Rolex sub? The next collab yeah protect Kala Travon 96 But you know that's what that is really what I'm scrolling because I try to stay off social media as much as I can because

That's impressive. I say I try yeah, you know But definitely before bed I do it because I don't want to freak myself out like I tend to be an overthinker with certain things So like if I do see like hey, we're close to war then I'm not gonna be able to sleep

And it's what when you see watches without a date window you go. I get it. Yeah, it calms me down

I'm gonna go to sleep and think about watches. It calms me down. You know what I do? And tell me if you do this.

I do it.

I add things to my cart and I just leave it there and I go away.

It's like, I'm just not gonna buy it.

Do you keep stuff in the cart?

I window shop online.

So you keep it in the car. So you're tricking the website. Yeah What's what's that accomplishing nothing? It's just something I do. Maybe they'll give you a discount

They do do that. Oh

I'm breaking the system. I don't know. I thought we were talking about watches. I was like, I don't know Really hoping protects

Here's 30% off for St. Patrick's Day on all green dial.

That's not happening.

That would be sick.

That would be super cool. I have a question. What do you think is the-

The answer, by the way, to your question was commitment issues, but go ahead.

What was the question?

Commitment issues.

That's why you're doing the cart. Oh, okay.

I don't wanna make a diagnosis,

but it's committed issues. I mean, this is like a therapy session for us.

This feels very good for me. Us is one thing, but. I will also say you didn't answer how useless male nipples are, and if they will lactate once you suck on them enough.

They can lactate in certain medical conditions, some medications. But is it milk? It's milk. Okay.

Raw milk, baby!

Yeah.

But is it milk?

I'm just curious.

And what's the use of them? It's just like the normal human blueprint. Inside the embryo, we're all the same.

And on the outside too, we're all kind of similar.

There's a lot of differences.

Not gonna touch that. What do you think is like the, like obviously you have a lot of knowledge about how to stay healthy and stay on top of those types of things, but what do you think is like your most unhealthy habit?

My cholesterol is really high. I'm actually waiting for my results right now to see where I'm at. I'm nervous about it. Why is it high? I don't need a lot of hot dogs. My food choices have not been great. What's your guilty pleasure from besides hot dogs? Something that's high in saturated fat like I love cookies and cream milkshakes, but I haven't been having them But I'll have you know what it is when I go to a restaurant. I get the wagyu and that's not good. I

Mean, yeah, that's me. That's not good. I mean, I just I'm doing it too often

That's me, too

You know how some celebrities or people that get some notoriety on social media They make a buck and they go, oh my God, and they develop a drug problem. Sure. Yeah. That's me, but with Wagyu.

Hell yeah.

With like anything that has MP on the menu.

Yeah. That's it. Two, two.

Crab legs. I'll take three orders of them.

Are crab legs bad?

I said 20 hot dogs.

No, dude, I feel you on that 100%.

20 years pretty solid. I'll tell you this though when it's I did have the most expensive burger I've ever had in my life this weekend where? Kith Ivy, oh Members club, I'm not a member. I don't even know what that is. It's like I know Kith like a membership club. It's like a paddle. Yeah, it's like a paddle club, you know paddle I don't paddle or Paddle Paddle. I guess yeah, I guess paddle ball Yes, but it's like pickleball

Tennis and squash had a baby. Yeah

Okay, you lost me

Somehow following more on the medical $64 that's the most expensive burger you've ever had. Where do you have a more expensive?

Without gold flakes on I was just gonna Nothing weird on I've never had one. There was nothing weird on it.

I've never had a more expensive burger.

I imagine it was gonna be like 200 bucks.

I mean, where does a 200 bucks burger exist?

I'm sure you can find it somewhere.

I just had a burger.

What's that like 4 Charles burger? That's not expensive like that. I just had Red Hook Tavern for the first time like the burger there apparently really good Damn, how much was it? Good question. I think it was like 30 bucks. That's why How was the $64 burger it was pretty good there were some kebabs on the side that were great wasn't Wagyu though, right it was Problem it wasn't a fine. It wasn't a5. No. Have you been to Japan? No. Alright. I would love to go.

but it was very intimidating. Really? Because it's like eight people, and then he's there, he's making it, and I was like scared to talk.

And he's judging you to make sure

you're eating it correctly. And he's like talk and it's like very quiet right and he's just making it it's like, you know You're watching the guy at work. It's an experience amazing and then he just takes the Scallop and he's just like like right in front of me on the table. It was like oh and then it moves

Yeah, we were like this doesn't, this doesn't feel right because every person in there was white and they were like speaking, speak, they were trying to do like traditional like when someone walks in how they like shout something in

Japanese.

It's like when they have the what are those where they cook for you, but they do a show.

Hibachi.

Hibachi. Yeah, don't don't downplay hibachi like you don't know but it's been co-opted Yeah, oh yeah now. It's like you know kids named Brett that do it. Yeah exactly

She does not suck by the way. You know she's incredible. No, but she's great. I love the little volcano I think cool I one time went and got real drunk and they let me go and do the volcano and I put my hand on the thing and went like that burnt off my Wow my what would make you sure that did you not hear the very drunk one that I that was the preamble to that story it was the first time he was sepsis sepsis

okay talking about my borderline sepsis do you dip sushi in soy sauce the

correct way you're supposed to dip the the side, right? I don't do it at all.

Oh, you don't? Oh, because you go to the fancy place where they brush it with a brush.

That's right, yeah.

Well, not all, but even when I get sushi at home, I'll just like eat it. I don't know, I feel like- When you get sushi at home, you make it yourself? He doesn't use a soy sauce. I think it's what yeah. Yeah, I don't I don't dip it I just like eat it cuz I feel like soy sauce is such a powerful. Yeah, it's so powerful that I'm like I don't want to ruin the Sometimes there's like a little sauce there. That isn't a little bit. I'll throw like a little a little bit

Yeah, yeah, where's that from that's from somewhere a little where what I think you saw about your tongue. Oh my tongue

My tongue is for my mouth

Not for the sword just like a little like

Yeah, I mean they have like a you know something I'll be like art or like a little wasabi or like a ginger damn

Let's get back to the medical talk. So male nipples male nipples. They're not useless. I mean they have sensation for

People enjoy them sexually sometimes. How would you know you outright? He does. Right. Thank you. I said that. It's just he comes in here and he's just like, oh, I'm going to take a picture. Oh, that's not what I did. But it's not a sexual thing. Loves, loves to play with his nipples.

No, that's crazy. I mean, I'm not against it

I know why you guys have such a big space hidden rooms yeah you know that's

the nipple set over there my office is up there there's a lock on the door and do one more question one more more. None of them are.

All right.

So after that, okay, here we go. Oh, can you actually, is this yours?

Can you actually get sick from holding in a fart?

I didn't write that. I did not write that. That was not me.

Have you gotten sick from holding?

Stop looking at me.

It wasn't me. I hate, farts. I hate burps. I hate poop talk.

Oh, I can't burp. I have that thing. It's called like RC something.

I don't know.

I don't know.

RC Cola.

I can't burp.

If you have enough of that, you'll burp.

Oh yeah.

I can't burp. Like very, what's the opposite of often? Rarely, very rarely it'll just kind of like escape and it'll like kind of scare me, but I can't burp. And it's like, yeah, it just kind of like, it feels like I'm gonna throw up out of nowhere.

And then I'm like, oh.

Interesting, so you have like a sensitive esophagus?

Or something, there was something that I read online that people, because I saw this like tick tock where someone was talking about it I was like, oh, this is the thing that I have and then you can correct it with like Botox in a certain thing So I think just like a muscle. It's like a muscular thing. I don't know. I'm just so muscular. That's what it is That's what are you so fucking ripped? He has a ripped throat Throat like 16 and a half washboard

He doesn't have the ability to relax his throat is what they're saying. Yeah, yeah you hey

When you ask me what's one thing that would phase out of the human body? Yeah based on survival of the fittest probably I think uh got an overtight throat. Yeah

It's gonna it's gonna get more loose as you got it you got a loosen your throat up Yeah, what was the question? Oh, yeah farts if you get sick painful fart. years go on. You gotta loosen your throat up. Yeah. What was the question that you asked by the way? Oh yeah, farts.

If you get sick.

Painful farts. Oh, painful farts.

I didn't write that. I wanna make that. It's not gonna be comfortable. You might be bloated. First of all, farting is normal.

Yeah. Let's put that out there. We talked to someone once that like oh, yeah, that was a story She was like having like she was having like a pot of cabbage soup a day and then like selling jarred farts

Interesting. I'm not sure about that. You know, you could absorb your fart and then breathe it out

Excuse me

I've never wait so like you can like suck in through your butt and then the It just your intestines are permeable to certain gases and Those gases can be absorbed and then released by your lungs. So you're farting in your own belly in your mouth Belly is not connected to the lung You know how they say shin bone Yeah

The belly and the lung are separate.

Your belly? He's 34 years old. Tummy? What about your tummy? Your tummy is filled with a fart?

Wow, that is disgusting.

Well, the entire GI tract is full of air. That's normal, because when you swallow, you swallow some air always. But what's interesting is, do you think what's inside your GI tract is outside or inside your body?

What is it? Well, hold on.

So now you're asking questions. Wait, what's inside my

body? Yeah. Is it inside? Is it technically the food you eat? Is it inside your body?

Yeah. Where else would it be?

Well, technically, like, oh, it's like a straight pipe.

Well, not straight pipe. Right.

So like, we're kind of like a straw.

Yeah. So if, so hear me out. So then if you were to take someone and hold them like ass over water and like suck on their mouth long enough, will you get water through their mouth like a straw?

There's too many sphincters preventing. And like suck on their mouth long enough. Will you get water through their mouth? Like a straw?

There's too many sphincters preventing that from happening. I don't know what you're talking about. No, oh my God, the email that I'm gonna get is just gonna be pages and pages.

You heard that one?

Yeah, put that one down. It's gonna make you laugh, Dad?

Would that go down as one of the worst questions

you've ever heard? I mean, I think that we've hit like the top ten. All ten. All ten have been-

It's definitely- It's definitely up there. That was rough.

Wait, what do you-

But it probably wouldn't smell.

But what do you-

You didn't answer my question.

Sorry.

Your question is-

No, I did answer your question. The how many sphincters is a normal person has a lot There's only one sphincter where they the sphincter No, there's a pyloric sphincter. I mean, there's other sphincter. Yeah, I didn't know this. Thank you. See what a dumb question We learned from it. Yeah, this is uh, yeah the what you're saying. It's like it's a hole going through your body. Yeah that connect to exits So like the space around is the body is what's inside the body like inside the blood vessels inside the fascia

What if there's a hole going through all of it? Ah

Like a straw. It's like insane for me to think about. Yeah, think about it

Think about it simply from like a worm perspective a worm eats and then it just has like a thing that goes.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's easier to picture than our complicated system.

That's so, honestly, I never even occurred to me.

That's like, there's Frank shut up. Cause you asked one of the dumbest things

I've ever heard in my entire life.

Now I know how he got sepsis. I've ever heard in my entire life I'm gonna get an email from my hospital administrator. That's like dr. Mike you were posed this question about

That's actually a good question. Is any of your content made, any people that you've worked with or your superiors like have to tell you like, listen.

No, they're actually super supportive.

So it's nice.

What's going to put that in the test?

I mean after this, who knows?

We're going to see what they say.

Oh my God, dude.

This is really not good.

This is really not good. Can you imagine you breathe farts? Yeah, no, that's just... But farts smell bad because of the sulfur components, and that's not one that you regularly will breathe out.

Is there methane in there?

Yeah, yeah.

So you could die from it.

With enough of it. Of what? Farting.

What?

Like in a small room, a lot of methane?

No.

Damn it. like a small room a lot of methane no is it true and I don't know if you would have the answer to this but like the ozone is potentially ruined because of all the methane from how far not an environmental doctor different doctor my god that was not an oracle dude you are so let's be honest we guys like neo this is the most important episode we've ever had because we are asking anything and everything like, What happens after death?

We're going to ask it and you're going to help us get there.

Oh my god, dude. Well, this was a good time. We appreciate you so much for coming.

Thank you for coming, man.

It's nice to see that there's other creators in New York there I feel like there's few of us. I know Yeah, yeah, come hang all where do you ball? Oh, yeah. I'm all where do you ball? Well, I don't like that I've bald I can ball. I just gotta say the last there has to be a blue ball question coming There was a blue ball question. There was a blue ball question. What is it? No, you know what it is. Don't ask me. I write it. Someone here wrote it. I didn't Okay, how would you define it blue balls? It's a hurting of my balls I've never you concur. Why are you asking? Oh, well, I am I am closer to being a doctor than he is

We've already established that so doctor What is a blue ball blue balls balls are a buildup of sperm and semen in the testicular region that as it is traveling through it kind of gets stopped at the door by the bouncer and it's just like we are at capacity or we're not letting anyone in tonight. Out.

Private event.

Not letting anyone out.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, depending. But like they're standing at like the base of the shaft and they're just like, stay here.

And then?

And then it just stays there and it's just like, it's like when, you know, when people like, like an overcrowded room, you know. Uncomfortable.

Too much in there and it's like all the walls are gonna burst at a certain point nailed it did I know I mean it was it was a good swing good swing right but you it wasn't exactly in the right direction I mean I'm not looking for exacts but at least give me like I am on the right well. Well, semen is not involved in the process. Gotcha. So blue balls is epidermal congestion or hypertension. So basically, you get a lot of blood flow to your genital area that increases pressure.

But then when you're on an orgasm, that pressure just builds and stays. But it's a blood flow issue. So it's a vascular issue.

Oh, it's like a vascular issue. Oh, it's like a penis heart attack No

That sounded for some reason that's how that's so smart

Penis heart attack is more like when you have you know, one of those erections that lasts more than eight hours They always say on the commercials. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Because literally, that blood sits there, and because it's losing oxygen, it's acidifying, it's damaging the endothelial lining there. So yeah, that's like a penis heart.

Oh, so if that, oh wow.

That's why they gotta drain it.

I never, I-

They have to drain it? Yeah, they poke it with a needle. Oh my god. So don't do it. Well, I mean. I wouldn't even know how. Well, they say like with those like gas station pills. Yeah, like horny goat weed. That'll get you going. Yeah. Horny goat weed? That's what it's called.

I mean, you grew up in New York. You don't remember going to the bodega. No. Is that how you got sepsis? Right next to the fireplace.

Lemon heads. I got lemon heads. Lemon heads. Lemon heads. I was getting lemon heads. You are buying horny goatee.

You remember rain blow, the gumballs that had like the food dye in them so your mouth would turn different colors?

What the hell are you talking about?

You had an interesting childhood, sir.

Don't. Don't, yeah. No, like, you don't, seriously, you never went into a bodega and saw, like, horny goat weed?

We went to different bodegas, sir.

I guess so.

They're like, it's like a pill, and it literally has a goat on it, or like people making out, and it's called horny goat weed. Look it up. What would happen when you would take it. I've never taken it. But you know so much about it. It's at the counter. It's at the counter. It's like it's used as like, you know, the like, fuck, what's it called?

Viagra? Viagra. It was like the like bodega Viagra, basically. Well, interesting, Viagra and all those medications.

So they don't really cause that.

What do those medications do? It's just like a, that's like blood flow?

It's a circulation thing.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Hmm.

But like, how does it target the balls? Or like dick?

It doesn't. That's why some people get bloodshot when they take it, their nose sometimes runs, because it opens all the blood vessels.

Oh wow.

It's a vasorelaxer.

And this is serious, I don't think I've known someone that's ever taken them. And I guess they wouldn't publicize that to me.

I don't know either.

It's because you're not a doctor.

Yeah.

I know plenty of people who've taken them. Well, have you prescribed it? Of course. Why do you say it like that? Well, because you make it sound like I'm a fake doctor.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You're like, you ever prescribe antibiotics?

No, no, no, no, no.

Don't do that.

I don't want this to come up in the comments.

You ever hear of a box of psyllium?

I just didn't know if it was weed? Where'd you get your license? No, that's more about the growing up in New York part of it that I'm surprised. Airheads, lemonheads, that's what I was doing.

Are you an airhead guy? What color airhead?

That's a good question. I think the white one. Oh my god, dude. You just like to live on the edge, huh? Yeah. Because you just never know.

I think they figured out that it was a flavor. Oh, it is? Yeah, I think it's like all of the white ones are like that flavor.

Yeah.

Oh.

But it's like mystery.

Oh. Do you guys have scholastic book fairs?

Hell yeah, dude. They don't have that anymore.

I know.

What?

What do they do?

I mean, they don't.

Who reads?

I mean, be a school. I don't know. I said that without actually knowing No It's not as prominent as like when we were kids, but like they do book like book sales to some degree I know that because like we've given the kids like money and they've come back with books and stuff like that I used to love the book fair. Oh my god

When you'd get that paper and you just be like, oh shit, I can buy like

Well, is that a TV TV show it was a show and they're episodic Where are you guys kidding me with this Wow you don't remember Ryan Gosling was in one right what yeah As a child as a child actor yeah, and the say cheese and die Yeah, that's a full-grown adult actor. I did not know that dude. I I don't know where they're available It might be on Netflix, but like

He was like auctioning off something actually might have been from the show dude

Apparently, I don't know how true this is. The rumor is that he has sold more

Copies of goosebumps and Stephen King has sold copies. Yeah, I heard that too. I think that's I mean, I think that's crazy dude RL Stein

Yeah You got a night now less now noise more. He took a therapy psychology class so he can help therapy What are you? He took a therapy, a psychology class, so he can help therapize you. Let's unpack that. Would you say you're afraid of noise?

Noise at night.

What is it?

Oh, at night.

You grew up in New York, brother.

He lives in the burbs.

I know, now it's true.

Yeah, if I hear anything, I'm nervous. Yo, I'm telling you, since this is not good. Because it's supposed to be quiet. Yes. And then the house makes a noise. I don't like that type of shit.

And then when it's not?

I moved into an apartment that was in like an old building once.

Oh, the creeks.

It was my second night there. And like, I don't know why I do this to myself. I got in bed and I was like, what if this place is haunted? And it like I'm used to But I'm hearing banging and I'm like what what is that and then I eat it was it ended up being the heat But it didn't sound like a like a radiator or anything I walked outside and then there's like one pole like on the opposite side of my apartment. That was I thought there was someone in

My apartment I ran downstairs You know like particularly when like it like the winter is coming, because the ground is swelling and shit like that, like the house is, like my house shifts, so like you'll just randomly in the middle of the night hear just like, yeah I don't like that.

Uh oh.

I don't like that.

That's scary.

That ain't fun.

I think you're very mentally strong if you could turn off the light in your basement and slowly walk up the stairs. I do that. I haven't done that. I do that. I feel like I always kind of ruin. When I was a kid that movie 13 ghosts ruined me. You remember that movie? No. No. What did you watch as a kid? You named two things. Nickelodeon. And you didn't see Are You Afraid of the Dark? Rugrats was a great show. Doug. Hey Arthur. Doug. Hey Arnold. Hey Arthur. Or Arthur is a different there is an art the art they are bar Arthur was on PBS what Arthur was on PBS yeah that was the good kid show now I know you got good grades yeah exactly yeah well you're doing all right probably watch it you know what they call the Dexter's laboratory at Ed and Eddie and you're that's a good one though

Powerpuff Girls, I know yeah Those are good times. What do they watch now? I don't even know you want to know what's tick-tock? Oh, you want to know way? I think so. I know the kid my kids watch blue. He's a big one bluey Is that like all those clues? No actually know, kinda. It's about blue Australian dogs. But like, no, it's a really endearing, like there's some episodes-

Like Clifford, but now he's blue.

Yeah, not really. Like it's like the whole world is dogs.

Oh, I see.

Except for like-

That's a good life.

Seagulls and shit like that.

And it's from Australia. like that and Australia you know they have one like child's program it does I want to know what person I want to know two people's mindsets one who writes a book that says imagine the whole world was dogs and seagulls yeah and second who is the first person to see a cow udder and go I want to suck on yeah

dude wait what no no I I agree I would like to know what that what do we You ever milk a cow? No. What? Whoa, dude. Doc, we gotta get you out there.

We gotta get you at the farm.

Yo, you're not into raw milk.

You grew up in Queens. Where are you milking cows?

Field trips.

We went to the zoos, my guy.

Field trips?

Yeah.

Like a field trip.

You went to the low schools. I went to PS 104 by a time

First of all when they get to the hundreds, it's the scraps to is just like yo, this is like the good This is a good why they took you to the goat farm

We went to it, but no in our element in our pre-k we went to the I didn't even get sheep in front of me I was like, yeah, I'm telling you right now. You're you ever milk a cow Yeah you right now you ever milk a cow it'll change your life yeah it'll change your life in what way it's just like not what you expect it doesn't feel what do you expect I expected to I don't expect much it's like I thought it would be like a balloon like very light and but like there's some weight to it mm-hmm they're heavy and then if you milk a cow in a metal bucket now we're talking the sound is good how did you do that I'm

very good with sounds I'm not recreating them I'm pretty good with sounds and impressions I have you have you milked a cow I have never milk a cow no this is ridiculous we could do a field trip we're gonna right now to go milk a cow. I don't even I think RFK will come. Yeah Third mention of RFK on this episode. He loves raw milk and he does yeah, you're talking about udders He does you know what if anyone knows what udders feel like it's probably RFK he's getting that raw milk straight from the source baby the idea of drinking milk out of the nutters what do you do a raw milk is yeah no I know it's just I don't I don't get it yeah I

I'm really good with like people like a lot of nice milk you know like I'm good with that it's pasteurized this thing yeah anyway well my favorite is when they go, I love raw milk, but I boil it. It's no longer raw.

It's gluey pasteur in the flesh.

And now it's cooked.

Yeah. Like the hot dogs that you used to have.

I put it through a strainer. Like, you know, it's not raw.

Yeah. I boil it. Cheese cloth.

So that's why, like, a lot of the people who are anti-vaccine are like, why don't doctors think about prevention ever? You guys are all about treatments with your pharma. I'm like, vaccines.

Yeah.

They prevent the illness.

And they go, no, but not vaccines.

Gotcha.

Not because it's supporting,

it's not supporting their argument.

But it is.

So I don't get it. I think you did a great job dealing with probably

some of the most.

I mean, they're great people.

I'm gonna be nice. I'm gonna be nice.

I'm gonna be nice.

I'm not gonna do it.

You showed a lot of patience and I don't know how you did it.

Well, the purpose is to get everyone on the same page because vaccines only work when all of us buy in. And I'm not selling them to get people to buy in. I'm selling them because they work and I'm telling the truth and we want to not have measles again. See, I want to make America healthy again by going back to where we were before the measles outbreaks.

If you can give one parting sentiment to people, what would it be?

Trust your doctor, not RFK.

Wow. That's it be? Trust your doctor, not our FK.

Wow.

That's a good sentiment.

Yeah. I mean, you're not going to get an argument.

Says do not trust experts.

That's his.

That's these are quotes.

Yeah.

He says certain vaccines have killed more people than they say. I mean.

Yeah.
