Speaker:

I wanted so I was like hi

ready

Speaker:

so I feel like I do do things around the um

Speaker:

I I'm a pretty right like you said it guy

Speaker:

I've hung some pictures oh yeah

Speaker:

I've uh so this one day

Speaker:

there's something about Erica that makes me

Speaker:

I wanna like be able to do what she needs me to do

Speaker:

like there's

Speaker:

there's something that makes me go for instance

Speaker:

you had a ring doorbell

Speaker:

her the doorbell

Speaker:

the thing that the chime it's so high up in the sky

Speaker:

you have like a special ladder

Speaker:

it's frighteningly hot right now

Speaker:

it's so high and I just go yeah

Speaker:

I can do that of course and I'm in my head I'm like

Speaker:

I don't know that's very high

Speaker:

I'm not sure but

Speaker:

there's something about being with you

Speaker:

that makes you wanna do things

Speaker:

for you I told you also I'm an anxious person

Speaker:

but when I'm with you

Speaker:

I'm not I wanna like take care of everything

Speaker:

I wanna be like no

Speaker:

I got this right so you had said um

Speaker:

that you wanted me you were practicing silks

Speaker:

and you wanted me to put something on your ceiling

Speaker:

so you can hang like a home silks thing

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:

oh shit

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:

will you get drunk later no

Speaker:

it's for exercise stop it

Speaker:

you just says exercise don't make me go to the tape

Speaker:

um wow

Speaker:

but it's two fold I'm lying a little bit

Speaker:

it's two fold one is like you make me feel incapable

Speaker:

these the other thing is I wanna fuck it

Speaker:

I wanna you know

Speaker:

I wanna impress me yes

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 don't think you're talking about specifically me

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:

but how much is this person weigh

Speaker:

and like well it's a woman add 30 pounds yeah

Speaker:

they'd have to do for me

Speaker:

my driver's license is on point

Speaker:

I would say 5 9 they like this short guy

Speaker:

stole a guy's driver's license haha

Speaker:

he's uh his symptoms are he's getting shorter

Speaker:

yeah

Speaker:

they give you the options of getting a driver's license

Speaker:

every year or four years

Speaker:

and then they're like or you can pay a little extra

Speaker:

you can have for 10 years

Speaker:

I'm like ten cause

Speaker:

I don't know what I'm gonna look like in 10 years

Speaker:

guess what

Speaker:

the 10 year one expires for me this August does it

Speaker:

I can't wait you know

Speaker:

why of all the insults that you level of me

Speaker:

you have a terrible picture

Speaker:

why are drivers like a serial killer on meth

Speaker:

passing bear cubs in the picture

Speaker:

it was Covid and I had

Speaker:

it looks like I'm wearing a white turtleneck

Speaker:

but it's a Bandana

Speaker:

I used to be Bandana guy during Covid

Speaker:

I thought it was getting over and it's

Speaker:

it just makes it look weird

Speaker:

and I think I'm wearing glasses and I don't know

Speaker:

you look like you just came off of like

Speaker:

a winter foraging 10 year hike

Speaker:

and you found civilization

Speaker:

it's not a great picture so I should get another one

Speaker:

I need my driver's license to drive those bodies around

Speaker:

I'm sick of carrying them

Speaker:

it's a terrible picture well

Speaker:

at least that's consistent with the story

Speaker:

do you wanna hear a true story

Speaker:

oh you made fun of me just the other day

Speaker:

you I was making fun of you

Speaker:

so you grab my license and you're like

Speaker:

screw you Erica

Speaker:

and then you grab my Costco card

Speaker:

and you flipped it over and you're like haha

Speaker:

screw you Erica

Speaker:

yes great

Speaker:

fucking annoying

Speaker:

tell your true story

Speaker:

about someone lying about their weight

Speaker:

what they could be dangerous

Speaker:

this is a true story

Speaker:

swear to God true story

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:

it's kind of fun

Speaker:

and we go to the airport and it's this tiny plane

Speaker:

and they go there's a guy up there and they go

Speaker:

how much do you weigh sir

Speaker:

and he's like oh

Speaker:

I don't know one 90 okay

Speaker:

and they weigh his bags and then he walks

Speaker:

and then this woman gets on in front of me and he

Speaker:

and they go how much do you weigh

Speaker:

and she goes one twenty and I'm like that's not hmm hmm

Speaker:

it's not it's not 1:20

Speaker:

our lives are at stake and this lady goes I weigh 1:20

Speaker:

I get up there thinking what do you weigh

Speaker:

go two twenty ten I took her weight on to mine

Speaker:

I added her weight to mine for to save everybody

Speaker:

do you think you added enough or not enough

Speaker:

I mean I really tried to do it like a carnival guy

Speaker:

like I really tried to look at her and go hmm

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 feel like those are kind of harmless lies

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:

this is like a bush pilot flying flying six of us

Speaker:

that is important that's very

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:

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:

hey you were my doctor this weekend

Speaker:

ahead of what did I do this real briefly

Speaker:

I woke up I had gut felt laughing

Speaker:

I just it's hard to be your doctor sometimes

Speaker:

everything's okay now but I woke up

Speaker:

I had to do the Gutfeld television show

Speaker:

which involves having your face on TV sure

Speaker:

it also involves writing jokes all day

Speaker:

it's a bit of a hard day

Speaker:

you write the jokes and you go on

Speaker:

you wanna you wanna have a good face for TV

Speaker:

have a good face I woke up

Speaker:

not a good face not a good face

Speaker:

one eye closed

Speaker:

one eye one eye closed with I had a

Speaker:

I had a pain

Speaker:

a shooting pain in my upper left of my eyeball

Speaker:

and I call you up and I go hey

Speaker:

I don't want to alarm you

Speaker:

but remember yesterday I could see her both eyes

Speaker:

remember I could open both eyes nice and wide

Speaker:

I got think something's going on

Speaker:

and so you

Speaker:

you ran me through a battery of tests

Speaker:

or something like that right

Speaker:

I don't know how we did it

Speaker:

did we Facetime

Speaker:

I tried to Facetime you and you wouldn't

Speaker:

oh yeah

Speaker:

topic for whole other day

Speaker:

I looked so bad my eye was so messed up

Speaker:

that even though we're in a very serious relationship

Speaker:

I thought you might reconsider after seeing my face

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
