Speaker:what that would involve would be put it
Speaker:hooking something up to a ceiling that's very high
Speaker:that could hold the weight of a person
Speaker:if it didn't hold the weight of a person
Speaker:that person might hurt themselves and
Speaker:or get a head injury
Speaker:this is a very I feel like this request is very like

Speaker:like this something that has to be done correctly yeah
Speaker:and I I remember just going oh yeah
Speaker:I could totally do that
Speaker:and then standing upstairs just being like huh
Speaker:this is like a real but there's this thing where I
Speaker:I like I feel like I'm
Speaker:I don't even know what I'm saying
Speaker:I don't even know
Speaker:if this is good to even talk about on the podcast
Speaker:but you do this thing for me
Speaker:maybe this is too lovey dovey bullshit
Speaker:but you do this thing for me
Speaker:where you make me feel like I could
Speaker:I am capable of all these things where if I was alone
Speaker:I didn't have to do it for someone
Speaker:I would have hired someone to put in the thing
Speaker:in my ceiling because I wouldn't have trusted myself
Speaker:but when you ask me stuff hey
Speaker:can you hang up the thing
Speaker:I went upstairs yeah
Speaker:you did a great job
Speaker:I think it took me 11 minutes to hang a silk thing
Speaker:pretty impressive and I even hung on it myself
Speaker:and I did whatever so that I think this is part
Speaker:I know that was cute you tested it out
Speaker:to make sure it wouldn't fall on your weight
Speaker:so then I could get on it
Speaker:and number I go
Speaker:let's make sure you know both of us a case no

Speaker:oh impress me Jamie what you got about 5 9
Speaker:do I thought I was 5 9 I don't we need to go there
Speaker:I thought I was 5 9 for a really long time
Speaker:then I started doing the joke on stage
Speaker:about how I was taller than Godfeld
Speaker:and then after a show this lady goes
Speaker:you're not 5 9 by the way
Speaker:I was like what
Speaker:I've been 5 9 for 48 years
Speaker:and then I was told I wasn't
Speaker:and then I realized I'm kinda like
Speaker:I just buy I bought high heel tennis shoes for myself
Speaker:I don't thank you for those
Speaker:oh I thought they were for myself
Speaker:they're gold oh yeah
Speaker:they're so cute to make me feel more like shit
Speaker:no awesome
Speaker:I they're stylish
Speaker:they're like wedge ones but they have them for guys too
Speaker:oh I'm not saying you need them
Speaker:I'm just saying I saw an ad once where every guy lied
Speaker:it was probably for the shoes to like
Speaker:make you think that oh yeah
Speaker:see we need to be taller
Speaker:every guy lied about you don't need them
Speaker:they were like in a gym and they were like
Speaker:uh how tall are you
Speaker:and the guy was like I am 6 2 and they're like
Speaker:stand up let's measure you and the guy's like
Speaker:oh get away from me
Speaker:no I'm not stop it
Speaker:and they get really mad
Speaker:because they got caught in a lie
Speaker:and like every guy they asked except one
Speaker:refuse to stand up or if they did
Speaker:they were off by several inches
Speaker:so I don't think you're uncommon there
Speaker:but this one obviously
Speaker:was marketed to get people to buy their shoes
Speaker:I think you're perfect but that is funny though
Speaker:cause I remember women don't do that
Speaker:they do it with their weight
Speaker:age weight
Speaker:I don't lie about my age no
Speaker:not you I don't group you in with other women
Speaker:when we talk women when you say like men are assholes

Speaker:I'm saying in general
Speaker:but I think men I and maybe I'm wrong about that video
Speaker:I didn't see it but when I lied to you about my height
Speaker:I wasn't going like
Speaker:I'm gonna tell Eric I'm taller than I am
Speaker:there's part of me that believed that I was fine
Speaker:I knew I knew it was probably shorter than that
Speaker:cause I had some some people question it
Speaker:but I just kind of said it
Speaker:and you even said it like I said it like I was
Speaker:I was gonna ask you for what I know I'm afraid to ask
Speaker:forget it
Speaker:do you think that like EMTs
Speaker:when they're helping someone on the side of the road
Speaker:ever even look at their driver's license
Speaker:to know their height and weight
Speaker:cause they know everyone lies oh
Speaker:you mean to try to figure out if they're like
Speaker:how much medicine of something do we need
Speaker:like most of it's not weight yeah
Speaker:adjusted for like aggressive cardiovascular
Speaker:life saving measures
Speaker:like it's just like you get this amount
Speaker:this makes whatever
Speaker:that's why they weigh you and don't ask for
Speaker:anesthesiologist is different for
Speaker:because they have to keep you sedated
Speaker:but for like
Speaker:stuff to like shock your heart and like get you back
Speaker:it's it's pretty standard
Speaker:but wouldn't that be fun
Speaker:like they don't look your driver's license

Speaker:I'm flying I'm performing somewhere in Alaska
Speaker:there's a guy in Fairbanks
Speaker:Alaska that would take us to do these little tours
Speaker:and you take a little
Speaker:planes and you go to all these different little
Speaker:sometimes to be a community center
Speaker:and to be the whole town
Speaker:and you'd perform for them and do Santa show

Speaker:I don't think so but did you tell her don't worry ma'am
Speaker:your secret's safe with me
Speaker:don't you think that they should start weighing people
Speaker:cause do you I wouldn't get mad if a woman like

Speaker:I've never been on a plane
Speaker:where they've asked my weight
Speaker:no you
Speaker:I don't know if you've ever been on a plane like that
Speaker:I was on this is not Alaska Airlines are United

Speaker:oh yeah I'm if I didn't make that clear
Speaker:it was your bags couldn't be more than 20 pounds
Speaker:everybody got like 20 pounds
Speaker:and it was all about safety yeah
Speaker:so I'm not trying to be a dick yeah
Speaker:I'm glad you clarified that
Speaker:I am just trying to save everyone's life
Speaker:I owe you pick up a few elbows
Speaker:you gotta tell that guy
Speaker:you know that's like the water park they weigh us
Speaker:they do the one I'm gonna take you to
Speaker:what do you mean for the why does it matter
Speaker:a lot of the rides
Speaker:each family only gets like 800 pounds
Speaker:do they charge for pound no
Speaker:they make you leave if you're over no
Speaker:no way yeah
Speaker:not not in today's scale
Speaker:you have to get out of scale every single time
Speaker:well because how is it not an uproar
Speaker:uh it's for two people
Speaker:you can only weigh so much
Speaker:because I think if you weigh too much
Speaker:some of them you could go over the side
Speaker:cause they're like really steep
Speaker:plunge ones that then scoop up
Speaker:so with your weight you'll go faster right
Speaker:so like if you weigh too much
Speaker:they're worried about safety so they'll say oh
Speaker:I'm sorry you have to write single
Speaker:you can't go double oh
Speaker:I see they don't not let them
Speaker:what if it's like this is just me and they're like
Speaker:whoops but there's like a family one
Speaker:where there's five of us that can go in one too
Speaker:yeah and it's
Speaker:you all have to stand on a scale
Speaker:and if you're too much together
Speaker:yes together
Speaker:then they kick one of you off
Speaker:but I did have a guy was kind of sad
Speaker:he like was in front of me
Speaker:and he wanted to go with someone
Speaker:they're like you can't sorry
Speaker:they're like the good news is you can be the tube
Speaker:well it was you
Speaker:but I was nervous
Speaker:cause I know I don't like to weigh myself
Speaker:I would hate to weigh myself
Speaker:so like is it the place to
Speaker:I know the name of it yeah
Speaker:but all I don't wanna throw shade at it
Speaker:no I wanna see
Speaker:I wanna see what the weight limit is every
Speaker:every ride is different because it's
Speaker:you're telling me I have to weigh myself for every ride
Speaker:yes
Speaker:when you get to the top of a lot of their water slides
Speaker:the extra like speed long ones
Speaker:yeah you
Speaker:they make you weigh yourself
Speaker:not all of them like if it's an enclosed tube
Speaker:you don't I can't believe this
Speaker:what
Speaker:at the place you're talking about
Speaker:yeah guess what the maximum pounds is per seat
Speaker:2:10
Speaker:that's low it's slow
Speaker:that's not nice but maybe you're saying
Speaker:you got a bigger one by yourself
Speaker:yeah I'm assuming so
Speaker:cause they offered the right to that gentleman
Speaker:and they didn't they don't say it rude
Speaker:I mean
Speaker:it's like teenagers who haven't had another job usually
Speaker:oh good
Speaker:so you would think that they would be like
Speaker:get out and they're immature no
Speaker:they're very respectful and they're just like
Speaker:I'm sorry you exceeded it
Speaker:you can go solo or you can go back well
Speaker:that's good they're nice like sir
Speaker:I'm very sorry uh
Speaker:you're unable to go on the right at this time
Speaker:but the good news is you've gotten the high score
Speaker:if you'd like to put your initial initials
Speaker:into this machine uh
Speaker:we'll get a price for you inside that job very fast
Speaker:yeah I would have trouble
Speaker:why feel bad for those guys want me
Speaker:at least I got the big pod and they can all go
Speaker:but certain things are important about your weight
Speaker:being accurate like the airplane or the
Speaker:the water slide they're not being jerks
Speaker:no and it goes the other way too
Speaker:like with with children
Speaker:if they're really low weight or they're short
Speaker:they're like you don't have enough weight for this ride
Speaker:it's dangerous
Speaker:you can't be on like certain carnival rides and stuff
Speaker:you know amusement parks
Speaker:so I don't think it's it's not being mean
Speaker:I think it's
Speaker:it's very important problem is so many people lie
Speaker:I've never been to another place
Speaker:that actually makes you get on a scale though yeah
Speaker:that's crazy
Speaker:that's crazy um
Speaker:I think I don't even think we should get into it
Speaker:but there is this whole movement of people
Speaker:that are going to say I'm healthy at any weight
Speaker:it's not true you should change your slide
Speaker:so that I can go on your slide
Speaker:this is not fair
Speaker:even if we're trying to like save a person's life
Speaker:or you don't want him to go flipping off the slide
Speaker:there are absolutely
Speaker:people that are gonna be super upset about Ali
Speaker:two times at high either but
Speaker:there are certain things we can't do
Speaker:because of our weight
Speaker:I can't be a ballet dancer because the other way yeah
Speaker:you can't it's a
Speaker:but people wanna take it personally
Speaker:well I have a big problem with that
Speaker:all physicians do
Speaker:I have to phrase things very delicately
Speaker:and I'll even say it on here
Speaker:I don't wanna get hate for it
Speaker:I do respect everyone's autonomy and their choices
Speaker:sure that's their life
Speaker:but if you come to me with a health related question
Speaker:and you say how can I get better
Speaker:yeah if you're morbidly obese
Speaker:it is irresponsible of a physician to say
Speaker:you're beautiful at any weight
Speaker:you're healthy at any weight yep
Speaker:that is frustrating to me
Speaker:you do have to have some true
Speaker:if I can't say it who can seriously
Speaker:if I can't say it I'm not fat shaming
Speaker:body shaming
Speaker:anybody in a fitting room or in a water park
Speaker:I'm not you do you
Speaker:but if you come to a doctor and you get offended
Speaker:because they say you need to lose weight
Speaker:if they say hey
Speaker:and they call you names and belittle you
Speaker:sure but if they're polite and they say listen
Speaker:every extra pound by the way
Speaker:your heart has to pump harder
Speaker:to supply that whole pound of tissue
Speaker:that's more blood vessels
Speaker:that's more pressure
Speaker:to supply the whole body with oxygen
Speaker:and blood and nutrients that you need
Speaker:it's a fact so if you're morbidly obese
Speaker:are you going to have cardiac related problems
Speaker:more than likely yes
Speaker:and are you gonna have them right now
Speaker:no I know this is uncomfortable topic
Speaker:but I'm not done talking
Speaker:I've gotten people who have called in and yelled at me
Speaker:and said I was disrespectful
Speaker:because their medical chart said obese
Speaker:and I said to that isn't it a medical term is an obese
Speaker:yeah it's based on your body mass index
Speaker:yeah
Speaker:so it didn't say 25 or higher or something overweight
Speaker:and I can't change that
Speaker:right
Speaker:but I've had people actually yell and leave my practice
Speaker:and say
Speaker:I'm not staying unless you delete it from my chart
Speaker:I go I can't why
Speaker:that is important for us to discuss
Speaker:so I'm out of here where's the biggest exit
Speaker:no you can have tact and also candor
Speaker:yeah I agree
Speaker:I just think um
Speaker:but I'm impressed with patients who take my advice
Speaker:and get healthy course
Speaker:see the positive benefits
Speaker:and I also realize obesity is a big struggle
Speaker:and it's not something to throw shade at
Speaker:but yeah and it pisses me off
Speaker:I've actually got a lot of shade from
Speaker:it'd be different if it was a bank teller
Speaker:which like I'm not gonna help you
Speaker:because I don't like the way you look sure
Speaker:but if it's your physician
Speaker:who honestly cares about your lung capacity yeah
Speaker:let him talk sometimes big people throw a lot of shade
Speaker:see that's messed up no
Speaker:me and my friend were at the beach once
Speaker:that's don't even finish that one
Speaker:yeah I think I can
Speaker:I mean I completely agree with you
Speaker:if they're at the doctor they're asking for your advice
Speaker:if you're walking on the street
Speaker:even as a doctor you wouldn't say hey
Speaker:lose some weight
Speaker:I do think the frustrating thing in the problem is
Speaker:obese person they know what the
Speaker:they know what to do they just can't
Speaker:it's really hard well
Speaker:but I talk about options medical weight loss
Speaker:surgical procedure that's true
Speaker:you provide more options diet plans
Speaker:nutritionists consultations
Speaker:I mean there's a lot of options out there sure
Speaker:so that's where you just have to start the discussion
Speaker:you know I worked at a medical weight loss clinic
Speaker:when I was in residency for a couple of months
Speaker:and it was hard for me because all of the doctors
Speaker:really practice what they preached
Speaker:which is good and bad right
Speaker:so they were extremely physically fit very
Speaker:very thin not unhealthily
Speaker:but on the very low end of a normal healthy scale
Speaker:yeah you had all these patients coming in
Speaker:with body image issues
Speaker:being told by someone who is eating
Speaker:500 calories a day sometimes like keto
Speaker:you're saying they were into 500 calories
Speaker:people were like
Speaker:I don't want to hear advice from someone who has it
Speaker:so easy yeah
Speaker:these beautiful people flipside
Speaker:do you want to take medical advice
Speaker:from a morbidly obese doctor
Speaker:who tells you need that you need to lose weight
Speaker:my my old doctor
Speaker:yeah was like up what
Speaker:the picture of death door
Speaker:and I remember every time you would say something
Speaker:I would just go I don't know
Speaker:I can't take you seriously
Speaker:like I had one time I told you and you
Speaker:I think you told me this happened to you once
Speaker:I had gotten in very good shape
Speaker:I was just like but really doing a lot of weightlifting
Speaker:like not as much peloton
Speaker:I was just trying to get like jacked for a while
Speaker:I don't know why and I went in there
Speaker:in that thing for the ladies
Speaker:more for myself honestly
Speaker:and some of the other guys at the gym
Speaker:first the dudes
Speaker:for the for the dudes for the dudes
Speaker:and I went in there and they told me I was obese
Speaker:cause of my BMI oh yeah
Speaker:body mass index
Speaker:I did that once to somebody and I felt so stupid
Speaker:you did you know what I did
Speaker:I I wanna swear I was so mad
Speaker:it made me so mad cause I was working so hard
Speaker:that the lady comes in and she goes
Speaker:doctors gonna put you on a weight loss program I go
Speaker:what are you talking about
Speaker:I go I I'm honest
Speaker:but I've never been in better shape
Speaker:like I wasn't ripped her but I was like 8 9% body fat
Speaker:yeah and he came in he was like buddy
Speaker:we could all stand those go pounds and I I flex my ass
Speaker:you rip your shirt
Speaker:I did you're like I go I have I go look at my yeah
Speaker:I go look at my hands
Speaker:and he goes and he goes mortified
Speaker:he goes I'm sorry
Speaker:I'm the one that need to lose weight
Speaker:that's what he said I've said that to people too
Speaker:so what happened with you
Speaker:so more the Ma goes beforehand and weighs them
Speaker:and gets their height and everything
Speaker:so that bmis in the computer
Speaker:before I even go in the room
Speaker:it turns it red if it's above
Speaker:if it's like 25 or higher
Speaker:so I see that it says he's obese so I'm like oh
Speaker:so I go in the room he's wearing a really baggy
Speaker:like sweatshirt and baggy sweatpants
Speaker:so I can't tell honestly couldn't tell
Speaker:so I'm doing a physical
Speaker:I go through everything and I'm like wow
Speaker:your labs are great all this stuff
Speaker:the only thing that I see
Speaker:your blood pressure is even healthy
Speaker:is your weight could probably go a little bit lower
Speaker:so for advice for the next year before I see you again
Speaker:what are you doing for like cardio and stuff
Speaker:because you could probably
Speaker:you know let's just get that number down a little bit
Speaker:and he just started laughing
Speaker:is he like a bodybuilder yes
Speaker:and I just looked out and I was like what
Speaker:I'm like your BMI and he's like
Speaker:I go to gym every day and he did this and I was like
Speaker:oh shit I'm so sorry I couldn't tell because yeah
Speaker:you looked chubby in your clothes
Speaker:cause they were so loose and I just
Speaker:but I had to call myself out and go dude
Speaker:we know myocites muscle cells right
Speaker:muscle tissue muscle weighs more than adipose tissue
Speaker:fat tissue right
Speaker:so like well done bravo
Speaker:you're being me
Speaker:but you might is high cause you have no body fat
Speaker:I'm sorry I need to
Speaker:I don't think I said I need to lose weight too
Speaker:but I said something like that
Speaker:I'm like you're in way better shape than me
Speaker:I do not need to talk right now
Speaker:you do but that's what I like about you
Speaker:or the way you practice medicine is
Speaker:I think there are that's a very extreme example
Speaker:but I also I think there's some doctors
Speaker:this still stick to the BMI thing without going
Speaker:there's these outliers
Speaker:where it doesn't really work for you
Speaker:this is for like regular Americans
Speaker:you need to find a different doctor
Speaker:not gonna give him my doctor
Speaker:well I think that there are so many things about
Speaker:like vibing with your patient too
Speaker:like I'm a very different doctor
Speaker:than a lot of other people out there yeah
Speaker:I've never knew age I I get loud
Speaker:I have fun I dance
Speaker:my patients do the same thing
Speaker:I want them to leave happier than when they came in
Speaker:and you do that you just have to vibe with them

Speaker:um
Speaker:might have reconsidering now the right call
Speaker:you didn't look good but like not like a judgmental way
Speaker:like it looked way more serious than I thought
Speaker:and it was worth some
Speaker:and we did have to zap it quickly
Speaker:with stuff to take the swelling down right yeah
Speaker:so we did stuff to take and
Speaker:I only have two little points here
Speaker:that I wanted to bring up
Speaker:and then we will wrap this up
Speaker:but I want tell you if you realize what happened
Speaker:it this morning went down
Speaker:Erica helped me makeup really helped
Speaker:you could kind of tell on Gutfeld
Speaker:I think we briefly mentioned it
Speaker:um I was surprised that Doctor
Speaker:Erica gave me I believe it was antihistamines
Speaker:and a Spider Man outfit no
Speaker:we decided it was a spider bite
Speaker:that would have been important information give you
Speaker:we think it's an insect bite
Speaker:but anyway
Speaker:I finished my Gutfeld dates
Speaker:the two nights everything goes pretty good
Speaker:I'm driving
Speaker:and I realize I'm having trouble reading signs
Speaker:not just exit signs but billboards
Speaker:very large lettering like the E on the vision chart
Speaker:I got nothing
Speaker:and I don't like to call you
Speaker:cause I know you're gonna be worried
Speaker:but I go this is like
Speaker:I can't see shit
Speaker:and I'm driving three hours in South Carolina
Speaker:to do these shows and so I call you up and I go
Speaker:I'm worried my my vision is very apparent
Speaker:and you're like is it the right eye
Speaker:is it the left eye and I'm not gonna explain anything
Speaker:so you got
Speaker:I confused you and you're getting irritated me
Speaker:and then um
Speaker:I go Eric I'm just worried about my vision and you go
Speaker:well if you have like an information or something
Speaker:obviously your vision might be bad in that eye
Speaker:you're gonna be fine and I was like
Speaker:I don't think I'm gonna be fine
Speaker:I was arguing with you I was worried about my eyesight
Speaker:and I wanted to go to an optometometrist
Speaker:or whatever they are ophthalmologist
Speaker:and then you said and then you said something like
Speaker:look in the rearview mirror
Speaker:and I look in the rearview mirror and you were like
Speaker:is your eyelid like occluding
Speaker:I don't know if that's the properties
Speaker:that word like your pupil
Speaker:like is it in the way your pupil
Speaker:and so I look in the rearview mirror
Speaker:and I noticed that
Speaker:my eyelid was actually in front of my pupil
Speaker:open your damn eye
Speaker:I went like this and that was a cure
Speaker:it got cured by going like that well
Speaker:that's why I asked you if it was like bilateral
Speaker:blurred vision or if his unilateral
Speaker:like it was the infected eye or both
Speaker:and you're like
Speaker:I don't know I don't know I can't see yeah
Speaker:next time maybe you could go hey
Speaker:is it one eye or both
Speaker:without all this fancy trying to fucking
Speaker:I did hide you from stuff by the way
Speaker:cause my eye looks ugly well
Speaker:remember I asked you if it was just like one lid
Speaker:or all the way around oh yeah
Speaker:stuff that circumferentials a lot more dangerous yeah
Speaker:see behind your eyeball
Speaker:did I ever tell you that once I got accused of a crime
Speaker:but they only had circumferential evidence
Speaker:which was not enough to convict
Speaker:you know I withheld scary some from you
Speaker:thank you like Tropano Somali ice what is it
Speaker:no I know this one okay
Speaker:I'm gonna look it up it's a piano somyosis
Speaker:it's called it's also called Chagas disease
Speaker:and there's a bug that bites people's eyes
Speaker:and it looks like what you have
Speaker:oh my God
Speaker:I didn't tell you very glad you didn't bring that up
Speaker:I didn't tell you because cause it might
Speaker:it's it's an extremely low likelihood
Speaker:because you weren't traveling
Speaker:in the areas where it's endemic
Speaker:it's usually like in southern hemisphere countries
Speaker:I don't wanna tell you this
Speaker:but it occurred when I was trying to get a really
Speaker:really further south than where we're located
Speaker:I was trying to get a really good look at a bug
Speaker:hold on I'm gonna pull it up what happened
Speaker:I'd seen a bug and I got to meet a closer look
Speaker:do you know why I even brought up this topic
Speaker:you're not gonna like this well
Speaker:now that I'm better I I'll tell you what
Speaker:when you hurt your eye
Speaker:and you can't see out of your eye
Speaker:you will never take your vision for granted ever again
Speaker:every day I wake up I go
Speaker:I cannot believe like even at my shows I go
Speaker:look at all these empty seats
Speaker:okay this is Chagas disease oh my God
Speaker:it looks just like what I have
Speaker:I know an infectious disease
Speaker:caused by a parasite found in the feces of the
Speaker:try to mean bug
Speaker:Chagas disease is common in places where the
Speaker:tree to mean bug transmit yikes yeah yeah
Speaker:but I need to tell you that
Speaker:cause you weren't recently in like
Speaker:Mexico or other warmer South America
Speaker:I don't know all the places Africa
Speaker:maybe it's not common in the US okay
Speaker:well so I had to look at the most common variables
Speaker:but you know you're missing a very important point
Speaker:before we wrap this up I'm missing a lot of points
Speaker:Erica
Speaker:what
Speaker:you're welcome for not telling you about that
Speaker:by the way
Speaker:I think you would have like lost sleep over that one
Speaker:what am I missing
Speaker:the other reason why your vision might have been
Speaker:all of a sudden jacked up
Speaker:is because somebody didn't follow the doctor's orders
Speaker:on how to take their pills
Speaker:oh yeah
Speaker:there were these five pills
Speaker:it's more than five and it says it's a staggerum
Speaker:there's more than five pills
Speaker:and I go you know
Speaker:be quicker if we just took them all
Speaker:that's not what you did what do you mean
Speaker:you said on the box
Speaker:it said take pills daily as directed or something
Speaker:yeah
Speaker:and then you open it up and it's like a bubble pack
Speaker:and there's written instructions under each bubble
Speaker:yeah but you didn't read that
Speaker:you just read the outside said
Speaker:take pills as directed daily
Speaker:and so you just took all of them
Speaker:this one time right
Speaker:raging like a mother hahaha
Speaker:this one time this is a true story
Speaker:I was really having trouble sleeping
Speaker:yeah and I said
Speaker:I feel like I need to take something and quiet my brain
Speaker:that I wouldn't normally do this
Speaker:and Erica said to me you can either take no no no
Speaker:no she said you could take and I'm gonna make up words
Speaker:she goes you could take no dose
Speaker:you could take this hydroxyzine
Speaker:you could take melatonin you could take this or this
Speaker:and you remember what word I didn't hear
Speaker:I didn't hear or and I go okay
Speaker:I was very
Speaker:I took everything you said I did not hear or and I go
Speaker:she said take other stuff
Speaker:I was very specific and then all day different options
Speaker:I was surprised that you survived the evening
Speaker:remember I didn't answer the phone
Speaker:and it's cause I took all these yeah
Speaker:you probably had severe respiratory depression
Speaker:is what happened
Speaker:you just used to slow down fucking rest no
Speaker:how about the time that you had a little blue pill
Speaker:not that one
Speaker:viagrass blue okay so people like reference that yeah
Speaker:yeah I'm not talking about that
Speaker:I'm familiar what's my little blue pill
Speaker:Ali versus unisome and you took the wrong freaking one
Speaker:I've done that more than once
Speaker:I have a loose I had loose unison and four months ago
Speaker:my leg hurts
Speaker:and you'd be like a unison and you be like
Speaker:I'm sleepy but at least it doesn't hurt anymore yeah
Speaker:that happened for for months
Speaker:I was taking a unison
Speaker:slap out of your hand and be like
Speaker:what are you take
Speaker:you're not taking the right thing total placebo
Speaker:you can't date a duck it's not placebo
Speaker:probably sedated you so much
Speaker:you couldn't feel anything
Speaker:so anyway
Speaker:keep your pills in your bottles for safety reasons
Speaker:and retake the day on instructions
Speaker:read the instructions I was afraid to ask
Speaker:coming up on the next episode of afraid to ask
Speaker:I've put breast implants in on someone
Speaker:and it was so scary because yeah
Speaker:it doesn't matter the size
Speaker:it matters the type of inflation yeah
Speaker:I tested a bunch out but I've never jeez
Speaker:just set you up for that one
Speaker:no but like the plastic surgeon handed it to me
Speaker:and I'm scrubbed it and he goes
Speaker:do not drop that that's like whatever
Speaker:how much money yeah
Speaker:and I was like dah
Speaker:so I'm like holding this
Speaker:you know what's Iron balloon is like a C probably and
Speaker:and we made a very small incision
Speaker:and then you had this stuff
Speaker:all of it in and I'm scared it's gonna like rupture
Speaker:of course or we're pushing really hard
Speaker:and the other side squeezes back out
Speaker:I'm like if this thing flies across the room I'm dead
Speaker:I'm dead yeah
Speaker:crazy isn't it the body amazing
