Speaker:

check 1 2 well

Speaker:

hello there boyfriend

Speaker:

how are you this fine day

Speaker:

I'm really good

Speaker:

is it working

Speaker:

yes excellent

Speaker:

let's not talk shit

Speaker:

I'm afraid to ask but I have a great question

Speaker:

I don't even know what I was gonna say

Speaker:

I'm so disturbed right now

Speaker:

what's happening is I'm getting a colonoscopy

Speaker:

oh we're we're we're recording oh yeah

Speaker:

let's talk about your um

Speaker:

exciting event cause I was not gonna do it

Speaker:

I was never gonna schedule it what

Speaker:

it just wasn't wasn't that it's like my flu shot

Speaker:

I don't get yeah

Speaker:

don't get him

Speaker:

I don't get the flu

Speaker:

everything's fine

Speaker:

not anymore my love so

Speaker:

you had told me

Speaker:

when I was thinking about scheduling a colonoscopy

Speaker:

I'd always heard 50 years old

Speaker:

I'm not 50 years old Erica

Speaker:

and so I was very excited that I had a whole

Speaker:

I'm hesitantly saying my age

Speaker:

I saw that I started stuttering

Speaker:

I was like should I just lie and pretend I'm yeah

Speaker:

now I'm 49 and um

Speaker:

you like to round up to 50 sometimes no

Speaker:

well to make fun of you

Speaker:

but in women's age I always round down yeah

Speaker:

and so anyway

Speaker:

I thought I was like yeah

Speaker:

I'm gonna get you know

Speaker:

dating a doctor

Speaker:

I go I should probably get a colonoscopy

Speaker:

and then I go as 50

Speaker:

the right age and you go

Speaker:

not anymore

Speaker:

moved it down

Speaker:

which made me feel like I was no longer

Speaker:

on like getting a head

Speaker:

it made me feel like I was behind

Speaker:

and it worried me a little bit because why would

Speaker:

why would the doctors want you to go check at 45 now

Speaker:

I'm not a year early

Speaker:

I'm four years late

Speaker:

and so now I have stress related to that

Speaker:

yeah I get that a lot

Speaker:

though the guidelines actually recently changed

Speaker:

so it hasn't been like that

Speaker:

so you didn't mess up

Speaker:

a lot of people are playing catch up

Speaker:

because everybody heard age 50 for a long long time

Speaker:

unfortunately

Speaker:

we're diagnosing a lot more colon cancer

Speaker:

colorectal cancer

Speaker:

a lot earlier in age in life

Speaker:

so the USPSCF guidelines basically said

Speaker:

you know what

Speaker:

there's way more people getting sick

Speaker:

let's round down to where we can

Speaker:

hopefully catch something early

Speaker:

is this to make me feel better all this

Speaker:

so you're saying

Speaker:

I'm saying you're young

Speaker:

and the scary thing

Speaker:

I guess it's a double edged short right

Speaker:

yeah more people are getting sick earlier

Speaker:

but at the same time

Speaker:

we're catching stuff earlier

Speaker:

catching it sooner

Speaker:

change the guidelines to starting it earlier

Speaker:

right that makes sense

Speaker:

yeah so that's what we're doing gotcha

Speaker:

I see what you're saying

Speaker:

you're saying they're doing this to be

Speaker:

you know to catch something a little bit earlier

Speaker:

before my perspective

Speaker:

I guess I felt like I was getting it early

Speaker:

by doing it a year before 50

Speaker:

but now I feel like I'm late

Speaker:

and late makes me

Speaker:

you know me

Speaker:

I'm getting a little anxious

Speaker:

a little stressed out

Speaker:

that makes me feel like that I'm now

Speaker:

I'm late and something could be going on

Speaker:

but you're saying

Speaker:

even if there was something

Speaker:

this is better than

Speaker:

right yeah I mean

Speaker:

what we're trying to do is catch up before it spreads

Speaker:

right so you want to catch up before you're sick

Speaker:

or you have symptoms

Speaker:

too yeah so

Speaker:

that's the goal

Speaker:

I know it just

Speaker:

it sucks to hear all of it

Speaker:

have difficult to ask

Speaker:

I hear it all the time in my office

Speaker:

and I tell people

Speaker:

you're young

Speaker:

I'm sorry but happy birthday right

Speaker:

what I thought was

Speaker:

you gotta do it right

Speaker:

yeah I'm doing it

Speaker:

I haven't scheduled them on the books

Speaker:

and what surprised me was

Speaker:

you know it would be day

Speaker:

for a while

Speaker:

we started dating

Speaker:

I would come to visit you

Speaker:

and I'll stay in a hotel

Speaker:

and then after a while every

Speaker:

it was like hell

Speaker:

you should sleep here

Speaker:

and then after a while

Speaker:

there was no more hotels

Speaker:

and I would stay at your house

Speaker:

and then when I am

Speaker:

when we talked about the colonoscopy

Speaker:

you said oh

Speaker:

the day before the colonoscopy

Speaker:

I'll pick you up from the airport

Speaker:

and then we'll drop you off your hotel

Speaker:

and then the next day we'll do

Speaker:

I was like oh

Speaker:

I thought I was uh

Speaker:

bad guy I thought I

Speaker:

was I thought I slept over your house from now on

Speaker:

but well you're a guy who sleeps at my house

Speaker:

you're not a guy that poops at my house

Speaker:

so I was trying to give you the other hand

Speaker:

I see what you're saying

Speaker:

so what happens is the night before Colonel asked me

Speaker:

you had a drink

Speaker:

you drink some some shit

Speaker:

you drink like a gallon of no

Speaker:

you drink stuff to make you shit

Speaker:

Jamie right

Speaker:

lots of shits explosive

Speaker:

intentional shit powerful

Speaker:

I like that word

Speaker:

intentional yeah

Speaker:

well doctors are assholes yeah

Speaker:

I don't intentionally invoke diarrhea for fun

Speaker:

I've never had an unintentional shit that went well

Speaker:

right I asked you that once

Speaker:

and you completely scared of the question

Speaker:

and I'm gonna make you uncomfortable

Speaker:

I asked you the last time you shit your pants

Speaker:

and you already told me huh

Speaker:

3 months old yeah

Speaker:

I used to shit my pants like that and like

Speaker:

come on well

Speaker:

when we started talking

Speaker:

you would send me these cute little surveys

Speaker:

so wasn't like out of nowhere you said

Speaker:

when's the last time you shit your pants

Speaker:

was the survey

Speaker:

not a survey

Speaker:

a questionnaire

Speaker:

yeah and one of the questions was

Speaker:

when's the last time you shit your pants

Speaker:

and I said I think when I was a baby

Speaker:

I was trying to answer honestly

Speaker:

I can't remember

Speaker:

the last time I did that

Speaker:

pretty good control

Speaker:

I'm not sure what's gonna happen

Speaker:

I feel like I have pretty good

Speaker:

control down there

Speaker:

I'm not sure what's gonna happen

Speaker:

after your friend puts a camera in my asshole oh

Speaker:

you're you're toast

Speaker:

I don't know if it's gonna ruin my

Speaker:

muscles that I've

Speaker:

they've they've worked really

Speaker:

really well so far

Speaker:

but you know what

Speaker:

you you had um

Speaker:

I answered honestly

Speaker:

by no way I know

Speaker:

so what is it

Speaker:

what was it

Speaker:

I kinda remember oh

Speaker:

sure your pants at work

Speaker:

yes absolutely

Speaker:

I was doing a procedure

Speaker:

I was excising a lesion of someone

Speaker:

I had just anesthetized them

Speaker:

and I went out of the room

Speaker:

when they were prepped to get

Speaker:

something and

Speaker:

I took a chance

Speaker:

and I gambled

Speaker:

wrong you did

Speaker:

I had a horrible stomach

Speaker:

flu and well

Speaker:

stuff happened

Speaker:

and instead of cancelling the day

Speaker:

the patient was already there

Speaker:

I um proceeded to continue yeah

Speaker:

that's a doctor

Speaker:

thing right

Speaker:

you gotta go in when you're tired

Speaker:

you gotta go in when you're sick

Speaker:

and accidents

Speaker:

happen yeah

Speaker:

what do you do

Speaker:

at that point

Speaker:

you excuse yourself because of a shower in the hospital

Speaker:

what do you do

Speaker:

oh I've shit myself so many times at work

Speaker:

and I peed my pants at work

Speaker:

I've had horrible things happen

Speaker:

when did are there

Speaker:

you work through it

Speaker:

I've actually

Speaker:

worked through it

Speaker:

so you're not

Speaker:

you don't even

Speaker:

get a break

Speaker:

it's not not even like an airline

Speaker:

lounge where you could

Speaker:

I was on call

Speaker:

and I was the only doctor

Speaker:

who was available

Speaker:

we couldn't get back up

Speaker:

so I was carrying

Speaker:

a basin around the hospital

Speaker:

because I was actively vomiting

Speaker:

wow and this is not a bragging thing

Speaker:

you don't wanna be sick at work

Speaker:

no of course not

Speaker:

um do we gotta do

Speaker:

so when you're on call

Speaker:

that means like

Speaker:

even if you're not

Speaker:

even if you're not in the room

Speaker:

if they need someone to shit

Speaker:

they call you

Speaker:

oh my god so no

Speaker:

like I would have to take care of a patient at like

Speaker:

2:00am yeah

Speaker:

I just finished vomiting

Speaker:

got the page

Speaker:

ran up to the room

Speaker:

ran the code so did CPR

Speaker:

resuscitated

Speaker:

whatever I had to do

Speaker:

and then came back to my call room and

Speaker:

stay there for a few more hours

Speaker:

and I've never gambled and lost

Speaker:

except for actual gambling

Speaker:

you say that

Speaker:

I would tell you the truth no

Speaker:

I've gambled and lost money no

Speaker:

I've never gambled and lost

Speaker:

of what we're talking about

Speaker:

I don't believe you

Speaker:

hmm I can't think of that

Speaker:

I'm not I'm not

Speaker:

have a great memory

Speaker:

if I think of one

Speaker:

I'll fess up to

Speaker:

but I do not think I've gambled and lost

Speaker:

I think the most interesting thing is

Speaker:

as a physician

Speaker:

we talk about this

Speaker:

all the time

Speaker:

yeah all the time

Speaker:

and all my friends are

Speaker:

we talk about this

Speaker:

as a comedian

Speaker:

we talk about this a lot too

Speaker:

shitting yourself

Speaker:

we'll have round table

Speaker:

discussions

Speaker:

at dinner right

Speaker:

talking about like

Speaker:

the craziest case we saw

Speaker:

or who got covered in the most disgusting

Speaker:

stuff that day yeah

Speaker:

and we'll just eat

Speaker:

right along with it

Speaker:

I know I noticed that

Speaker:

right away with you

Speaker:

I noticed that

Speaker:

you did not get grossed out by stuff

Speaker:

and we were talking

Speaker:

and you go hold on

Speaker:

give me one second

Speaker:

I'm on this

Speaker:

like you're on some sort of text

Speaker:

thread with a bunch of guys

Speaker:

talking about balls

Speaker:

oh yeah remember

Speaker:

and there was like a

Speaker:

there was like a house

Speaker:

level like house

Speaker:

the TV show

Speaker:

Doctor House

Speaker:

never watched it

Speaker:

I've never watched

Speaker:

almost every single doctor show out there

Speaker:

I hate them

Speaker:

wow house is the one where

Speaker:

it's usually a

Speaker:

super uncommon

Speaker:

yeah and you

Speaker:

you had like

Speaker:

a house level

Speaker:

testicle situation

Speaker:

and you guys were

Speaker:

you guys were doing a

Speaker:

what is it called

Speaker:

you're brainstorming

Speaker:

but it was like

Speaker:

you're making

Speaker:

like a think tank

Speaker:

yeah about what was wrong

Speaker:

with this man's balls

Speaker:

yeah remember

Speaker:

what it was

Speaker:

I don't we never found out pain

Speaker:

pain in the balls

Speaker:

no he had um

Speaker:

multiple punctate

Speaker:

calcifications

Speaker:

throughout his testes

Speaker:

had no idea

Speaker:

what the ideology was

Speaker:

though we still

Speaker:

to this day

Speaker:

haven't figured it out

Speaker:

I mean it was like

Speaker:

gunpowder like burns

Speaker:

which are pathologic burns

Speaker:

no it's painful

Speaker:

it's pathologic

Speaker:

for like an other

Speaker:

disease process

Speaker:

but that's what we

Speaker:

described in his

Speaker:

scrotum as well

Speaker:

but he had like

Speaker:

on imaging it was

Speaker:

like Christmas

Speaker:

lights of Calcium

Speaker:

all throughout

Speaker:

his testicles

Speaker:

and we honestly

Speaker:

had no idea why

Speaker:

he developed

Speaker:

them there and uh

Speaker:

nowhere else

Speaker:

but it's excruciating

Speaker:

painful and

Speaker:

I think it's kinda cool

Speaker:

because I mean

Speaker:

you've got doctors

Speaker:

all in their free time

Speaker:

working together

Speaker:

brainstorming

Speaker:

to come up with an answer

Speaker:

yeah on our

Speaker:

off hours so yeah

Speaker:

I like working

Speaker:

stuff up like that

Speaker:

he wasn't my patient

Speaker:

so I didn't have to follow up

Speaker:

he was just a friend

Speaker:

who was asking like

Speaker:

hey what would you do

Speaker:

and so I talked to him about

Speaker:

like the labs that I would order and yeah

Speaker:

with a urologist

Speaker:

friend of mine

Speaker:

we kind of worked through it

Speaker:

but unfortunately

Speaker:

he was lost

Speaker:

to follow up with

Speaker:

the other system

Speaker:

so I don't know

Speaker:

what happened

Speaker:

that's a serious issue right

Speaker:

a guy's ball

Speaker:

oh yeah he goes to the emergency room

Speaker:

his balls hurt whatever

Speaker:

you know what

Speaker:

you told me once

Speaker:

it fascinated me no

Speaker:

you you asked me

Speaker:

why are the balls

Speaker:

on the outside of the body

Speaker:

it seems to me

Speaker:

like a design flaw

Speaker:

it seems to me like

Speaker:

that's a very

Speaker:

tender thing

Speaker:

it is kind of a flaw

Speaker:

yeah aesthetically okay

Speaker:

and also no

Speaker:

I don't think so

Speaker:

I'm so used to seeing them

Speaker:

you know you don't know if you get older

Speaker:

because you see yourself every day

Speaker:

yeah see my balls a lot

Speaker:

I'm used to them being there

Speaker:

if they were gone tomorrow

Speaker:

I'd be like

Speaker:

where those guys go

Speaker:

would you miss them though

Speaker:

I think so yeah

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

definitely would miss them

Speaker:

but I see you not having them

Speaker:

well and then did I get

Speaker:

I try to guess why balls are on the outside of the body

Speaker:

cause it does seem like an engineering flaw

Speaker:

and is it something to do with the temperature of the

Speaker:

I think I guess wrong

Speaker:

I don't wanna steal your answer

Speaker:

cause you told me the answer

Speaker:

but I thought something like

Speaker:

I don't remember what I thought

Speaker:

but some was sperm

Speaker:

yeah that's exactly right

Speaker:

so sperm actually survive at a lower

Speaker:

temperature than her core body temperature

Speaker:

so if your scrotum was inside of your body

Speaker:

it would be a higher temperature

Speaker:

and they probably wouldn't survive

Speaker:

well not probably

Speaker:

they wouldn't survive

Speaker:

so if my balls were on the inside of my body

Speaker:

you know how much more money I would have saved

Speaker:

right now what

Speaker:

cause I wouldn't have any children

Speaker:

oh my God bad joke

Speaker:

so you're saying haha

Speaker:

they're on the outside of the body

Speaker:

because that's the temperature

Speaker:

they need to be at room temperature

Speaker:

you gotta have your balls at room temperature

Speaker:

well I don't know

Speaker:

I haven't exactly measured

Speaker:

the sperm's temperature of choice

Speaker:

but yeah they like to have a colder environment okay

Speaker:

than the rest of our body

Speaker:

so basically it's a mechanism that's been

Speaker:

effective for helping with fertility you know

Speaker:

from now on

Speaker:

I'm gonna say sperm temperature

Speaker:

instead of room temperature

Speaker:

because that's the idea on that

Speaker:

like when people out for your water

Speaker:

I just bought shoes the other day and they go

Speaker:

you want a room temperature or cold

Speaker:

you're gonna get punched in the face

Speaker:

if you say that to a waiter

Speaker:

I don't think you can say that oh uh

Speaker:

can I get one sperm temperature flat

Speaker:

no gross do you ever get that question though

Speaker:

they go do you want room temperature

Speaker:

sperm temperature or cold

Speaker:

no what would you say to water cold right

Speaker:

I don't prefer cold water

Speaker:

it hurts my teeth holy shit

Speaker:

I was about to say

Speaker:

they should just go

Speaker:

are you wow

Speaker:

I thought I did not

Speaker:

I stand corrected

Speaker:

it hurts your teeth okay

Speaker:

are you drinking it

Speaker:

are you opening your mouth before you drink

Speaker:

how is it hurting your teeth

Speaker:

you mean old

Speaker:

you mean the temperature water

Speaker:

when you drink cold substances

Speaker:

yeah if you have sensitive enamel issues

Speaker:

then it's cold alright

Speaker:

do you prefer sperm temperature water

Speaker:

I told you oh my God

Speaker:

I'm never drinking water again now um Ew

Speaker:

I don't know what happened

Speaker:

I don't know how we got to hear from the colonoscopy

Speaker:

but basically

Speaker:

oh the I don't know

Speaker:

prevention things like that

Speaker:

so I got this colonoscopy coming up

Speaker:

I gotta drink this uh

Speaker:

gallon of Gatorade or something after shit

Speaker:

violently and not excited about it

Speaker:

I'm sure other guys have been through it

Speaker:

did I tell you that

Speaker:

um how often you have to have

Speaker:

once you have your first one

Speaker:

we've decided that's now 45 years old now 50

Speaker:

once you have your first one

Speaker:

how often do I need a colonoscopy

Speaker:

uh so if it's normal 10 years

Speaker:

if you have no substantial personal or family

Speaker:

medical history

Speaker:

that would make us want to do it earlier

Speaker:

and your screening is completely normal 10 years

Speaker:

everything you say triggers me

Speaker:

I'm like oh

Speaker:

it's not normal oh

Speaker:

you're fine

Speaker:

I'm just curious

Speaker:

are you mostly concerned about the prep

Speaker:

or are you mostly

Speaker:

concerned about something going up your ass

Speaker:

because I get a lot of both

Speaker:

and I try to dispel that and tell people

Speaker:

it's totally fine on both

Speaker:

both aspect you know

Speaker:

it's weird what you just said to me what

Speaker:

that's an interesting question

Speaker:

are you more concerned about the prep

Speaker:

or something going into your ass

Speaker:

uh huh that's what I like to say to girls

Speaker:

when I bring back to my Jamie

Speaker:

that's how I open up Jamie

Speaker:

what are you most concerned

Speaker:

I'm trying to be like

Speaker:

I could find out

Speaker:

so I am absolutely

Speaker:

you're not gonna believe this

Speaker:

I am concerned about

Speaker:

uh option C

Speaker:

the results

Speaker:

so like the first

Speaker:

I believe that that's why a lot of people prevent

Speaker:

doing it in the first place

Speaker:

or just refuse to do it

Speaker:

cause they're scared for what they'll find yeah

Speaker:

I got cause I'll do

Speaker:

I'm either prep

Speaker:

I'm I'm kind of excited about

Speaker:

cause I feel like I might

Speaker:

might maybe kind of lean

Speaker:

what drinking a lot of water

Speaker:

you'll finally have a shit your pants answer for me

Speaker:

yes cool but that

Speaker:

excites me to do something weird like that

Speaker:

I don't that doesn't bother me

Speaker:

I don't wanna do it at your house

Speaker:

well no I guess we decided we we

Speaker:

I was gonna stay at a hotel

Speaker:

and then the day you go

Speaker:

would you wanna just stay upstairs

Speaker:

I don't think anyone's gonna hear anything

Speaker:

but then we're on here

Speaker:

and you said words like explosive

Speaker:

I think the word violent might have been used uh

Speaker:

I think what was the other one

Speaker:

but not voluntary

Speaker:

but intentional

Speaker:

intentionally

Speaker:

invoke diary

Speaker:

but the thing is

Speaker:

I like to poke fun at it

Speaker:

because in medicine

Speaker:

doctors have to have a sense of humor

Speaker:

or a lot of what we do

Speaker:

yeah and it gets to us

Speaker:

in all honesty

Speaker:

it's not that bad

Speaker:

I've done it

Speaker:

I've personally had a cold

Speaker:

just you know

Speaker:

and um the purpose is not difficult

Speaker:

I think what's hard is you're awake all night

Speaker:

so you're tired

Speaker:

but it's not gonna

Speaker:

be like violently ripping through your body

Speaker:

you'll be okay

Speaker:

I'm not worried about that

Speaker:

I'm more worried about

Speaker:

like someone hearing me or seem like

Speaker:

oh do you know

Speaker:

we've been dating

Speaker:

for how long

Speaker:

do you think

Speaker:

we've been dating

Speaker:

what do you want

Speaker:

what do you want to say

Speaker:

like a year

Speaker:

yeah okay so maybe like a year

Speaker:

I am I hope that you are under the impression that

Speaker:

I do not defecate

Speaker:

it's never happened

Speaker:

never done in front of you

Speaker:

I think one time

Speaker:

I couldn't get out

Speaker:

let me just

Speaker:

can I say some honestly

Speaker:

Speaker:

I just feel like

Speaker:

could we go through say we got married or something

Speaker:

do you get to a point where you

Speaker:

I'll be honest with you

Speaker:

I've never been comfortable with pooping stuff

Speaker:

like I see married couple stuff

Speaker:

and there's a doors open and there's like

Speaker:

I don't I think you have to maintain

Speaker:

keep in mind

Speaker:

I'm not a doctor

Speaker:

not a therapist

Speaker:

I'm not anything I think

Speaker:

there has to be some things that we keep to ourselves

Speaker:

for intimacy reasons

Speaker:

I don't mind seeing somebody pee

Speaker:

but I feel like once it goes to like

Speaker:

I mean if you're in a hotel room or Disneyland

Speaker:

someone's got to go in there

Speaker:

there's nothing anyone can do fine

Speaker:

but I think a daily hey

Speaker:

come on in and smell my shit is gonna be a slow erosion

Speaker:

of intimacy okay

Speaker:

I'll make sure to never do that then no

Speaker:

I what did you

Speaker:

would you thought

Speaker:

would you have disagreed before I said that

Speaker:

um I think I have a much higher

Speaker:

level of tolerance for that type of activity

Speaker:

based on my line of work yeah okay

Speaker:

that makes sense

Speaker:

blatant unnecessary farting

Speaker:

for example

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

I'm not exactly gonna be like oh yeah

Speaker:

strike me back on your motorcycle

Speaker:

let's go back to when you were 16 like right

Speaker:

be back I love it

Speaker:

I don't like the farting thingy

Speaker:

that can't buy me uncomfortable talking about it

Speaker:

I guess we should look back to

Speaker:

what's gonna happen to you after you're cool enough

Speaker:

okay when I pick you up

Speaker:

I don't like farting talk uh oh

Speaker:

I don't like

Speaker:

I'm not into it

Speaker:

I don't like the jokes

Speaker:

I think when kids do it or it makes a noise it's funny

Speaker:

but I must have grown up

Speaker:

is this part of a

Speaker:

is that in the Bible

Speaker:

is this part of a case

Speaker:

cause I feel like I have a sex guilt

Speaker:

a pleasure guilt

Speaker:

I also have like a fart it

Speaker:

is that in there I don't

Speaker:

did somebody get in trouble for farting in the Bible

Speaker:

I think you're

Speaker:

do you go to hell

Speaker:

if you fart in front of a girl or something

Speaker:

cause I have a weird what

Speaker:

I just have a weird feeling about it guys too

Speaker:

I don't think I'd fart in front of a guy

Speaker:

I know it's weird right

Speaker:

what I don't

Speaker:

what I feel like

Speaker:

that's interestingly odd

Speaker:

yeah first of all

Speaker:

I like it thank you

Speaker:

you're much more attractive to me

Speaker:

because you don't do any of that stuff

Speaker:

you're like a perfect man

Speaker:

I do do it you're like a Ken doll

Speaker:

you're so nice to look at

Speaker:

and you just don't do anything gross

Speaker:

sometimes when I'm

Speaker:

when I'm leaving you

Speaker:

I go God I'm so sad

Speaker:

I have to fly away

Speaker:

what I do to save your shit

Speaker:

ha ha ha and I know that's true

Speaker:

I know it's true

Speaker:

I know it's true I do well

Speaker:

so just get

Speaker:

maybe this would be the thing

Speaker:

you're most uncomfortable

Speaker:

now that we talk about it okay

Speaker:

um you are going to rip ass

Speaker:

when I pick you up from the procedure

Speaker:

will they insufflate you insufflate

Speaker:

pump you full of air

Speaker:

okay not always

Speaker:

but with the procedure

Speaker:

the way that it goes

Speaker:

and when you're looking at things

Speaker:

there's a lot of air that goes into you so

Speaker:

after the procedure

Speaker:

you're super loopy

Speaker:

you're not gonna remember anything

Speaker:

and that's when I get to mess with you

Speaker:

it'll be funny

Speaker:

cause I can ask you questions

Speaker:

and you'll probably answer honestly

Speaker:

and say silly things oh yeah

Speaker:

and then you're just gonna be farting like crazy

Speaker:

is it a I hate fuck

Speaker:

I hate all of this

Speaker:

is there like an Uber

Speaker:

should I take

Speaker:

can I take an Uber

Speaker:

you're not gonna have the ability to like no

Speaker:

is there like an Uber X crew

Speaker:

so I'm gonna hear it

Speaker:

is there that

Speaker:

poor Uber driver

Speaker:

you know how they charge you an extra fee if you walk

Speaker:

in your car

Speaker:

that should be like 100 dollar surcharge

Speaker:

just for coming home from a colonoscopy

Speaker:

there should be hazard pay

Speaker:

for driving a man home from colonoscopy

Speaker:

or at least like

Speaker:

some type of partitions

Speaker:

I don't have to smell it

Speaker:

yeah yeah shit

Speaker:

quite literally

Speaker:

my love it just

Speaker:

all joking aside

Speaker:

not not comfortable

Speaker:

don't know what's gonna happen

Speaker:

but maybe that's good

Speaker:

it's good to get out of your comfort zone

Speaker:

and you're a doctor

Speaker:

so maybe things are different

Speaker:

maybe you've seen more things

Speaker:

you I've done

Speaker:

colonoscopies I think um

Speaker:

I think you're in good hands

Speaker:

I think it's funny that my friend is doing yours yeah

Speaker:

that's weird

Speaker:

I've never even seen your butthole

Speaker:

but my friend gets to touch it

Speaker:

oh my God gets to

Speaker:

use the term gets to in a lot of places

Speaker:

where I would think you would say the other day

Speaker:

you were like oh

Speaker:

I got to break this guy's nose for a procedure oh

Speaker:

I loved doing

Speaker:

but are you supposed to get to

Speaker:

well get to for touching your butthole sound

Speaker:

I was saying that physiciously

Speaker:

I didn't mean that

Speaker:

no physician would be inappropriate like that weird

Speaker:

but saying gets to break a nose oh

Speaker:

it was a privilege

Speaker:

like it was truly like an honor

Speaker:

I was so excited

Speaker:

that I got to be the one that got to break the nose

Speaker:

I was helping them

Speaker:

I wasn't hurting them

Speaker:

I hear what you're saying

Speaker:

big difference

Speaker:

I'm not into butthole stuff

Speaker:

but my penis didn't move when you said that

Speaker:

Ew just the

Speaker:

just the willingness Ew

Speaker:

okay moving on

Speaker:

so colonoscopy is this stuff I get what do I get

Speaker:

when it's a drug situation

Speaker:

you're gonna have a sedative

Speaker:

um you'll be awake

Speaker:

but pretty significant sedation

Speaker:

you don't need a breathing tube or anything like that

Speaker:

like they don't put you fully under what

Speaker:

I thought I was completely out

Speaker:

and then I just wake up and it's done

Speaker:

you'll feel

Speaker:

yeah you'll be

Speaker:

you'll be sleeping

Speaker:

but you still breathe on your own oh

Speaker:

I see what you're saying

Speaker:

it's not like when you have like massive

Speaker:

major surgery where you're anesthetized um

Speaker:

where we give like a paralytic

Speaker:

you stop breathing on your own

Speaker:

you have to have an intubation

Speaker:

so they'll breathe for you

Speaker:

anesthesiology is there for several hours

Speaker:

making sure that everything's going well

Speaker:

you don't have all of that

Speaker:

you usually have like a

Speaker:

a nurse anesthetist monitoring

Speaker:

but it's nothing severe and it's outpatient

Speaker:

so it's not like

Speaker:

I have so many thoughts

Speaker:

first of all

Speaker:

I think I might have said this on Gutfeld once

Speaker:

but did I did I ever tell you that I used to think

Speaker:

local anesthesia meant that we got it from like

Speaker:

around here

Speaker:

yes I thought it was like honey

Speaker:

like you like

Speaker:

oh I like to use the local anesthesia

Speaker:

it's good for my allergies

Speaker:

that's true

Speaker:

that's not a joke

Speaker:

then I was thinking

Speaker:

anesthesia allergies must make a lot of money

Speaker:

they are one of the highest

Speaker:

compensated physicians out there

Speaker:

you know why

Speaker:

I guess that

Speaker:

I feel like the

Speaker:

the the risk

Speaker:

the liability yeah

Speaker:

like imagine if you

Speaker:

practice is incredibly expensive for them insurance

Speaker:

cause when I worked at Arby's

Speaker:

if I made a huge mistake

Speaker:

that might mean I put horsey sauce on a super

Speaker:

horsey sauce doesn't go on a super

Speaker:

that's Arby's sauce

Speaker:

this guy makes a mistake he's like

Speaker:

okay wake up

Speaker:

you're all done

Speaker:

hello wake up

Speaker:

like shit yeah

Speaker:

that's like a serious

Speaker:

you have a good with dosages yeah

Speaker:

they also have one of the highest

Speaker:

rates of physician suicide too

Speaker:

they have access to all of oh

Speaker:

I didn't mean to be a downer

Speaker:

it's just it's every specialty

Speaker:

oh access to

Speaker:

cause it's easier

Speaker:

they have access to the drugs or they know how yeah

Speaker:

can I get a very serious question

Speaker:

this is very serious

Speaker:

I have once before been completely

Speaker:

or partially

Speaker:

consciously put out

Speaker:

I had a some kind of thing in the

Speaker:

my back or something

Speaker:

I don't even know

Speaker:

and they did a thing

Speaker:

they put a mask on

Speaker:

they go count backwards from 10

Speaker:

and you go 10

Speaker:

9 and then you go

Speaker:

what's happening

Speaker:

and they go

Speaker:

you're done yep right

Speaker:

why are we afraid of dying

Speaker:

no what would have happened

Speaker:

if I didn't wake up that day nothing

Speaker:

so I have no memory

Speaker:

of that time being out

Speaker:

so I don't understand

Speaker:

why the big fear of

Speaker:

I have it too

Speaker:

but I just was thinking about if you or

Speaker:

or to take it to an even sillier thing

Speaker:

like if you go to sleep

Speaker:

I feel like dying is so much harder

Speaker:

on the people that are still around

Speaker:

but it's weird that we all have this crazy fear of our

Speaker:

of not existing very

Speaker:

I realize I took a turn from

Speaker:

assholes to drugs to

Speaker:

you don't have to

Speaker:

I think the problem is with my profession

Speaker:

I'm trained to prolong

Speaker:

inevitable as much as possible right

Speaker:

so death to a doctor

Speaker:

is almost like you failed at your job hmm

Speaker:

so we hate it because we haven't been able to keep

Speaker:

station alive yeah

Speaker:

that makes sense

Speaker:

but I I have a fear of death

Speaker:

I think also because of the pain

Speaker:

cause I've seen a lot of people die

Speaker:

in horrible fashions

Speaker:

in front of me

Speaker:

and that's been tough oh

Speaker:

so yeah if you could just go to sleep yeah

Speaker:

that's great

Speaker:

that's the best way

Speaker:

right sleep die

Speaker:

that's what I'd like to do oh my gosh

Speaker:

it may have had to choose

Speaker:

I don't want to

Speaker:

worst for me drowning

Speaker:

I don't want to talk about this

Speaker:

okay I'm sorry

Speaker:

I almost drowned once

Speaker:

it was terrible

Speaker:

why um anyway

Speaker:

sorry about that

Speaker:

no it's just

Speaker:

doctors are sidebar

Speaker:

you can see how uncomfortable I am

Speaker:

yes I'm sorry

Speaker:

doctors don't like death

Speaker:

we just don't like

Speaker:

except hospice doctors

Speaker:

oh really good people

Speaker:

I didn't mean to make a light of it

Speaker:

I was just thinking like

Speaker:

as a person

Speaker:

you know what

Speaker:

one of the most beautiful women

Speaker:

in the sense of beautiful

Speaker:

like a beautiful soul was

Speaker:

my dad went to hospice

Speaker:

like when he had three months to live

Speaker:

they go to this

Speaker:

it's like a nice house

Speaker:

and there's a beautiful thing

Speaker:

and the people that worked there

Speaker:

you're right

Speaker:

it was like

Speaker:

a different kind of human being you know

Speaker:

and they're really good at going like

Speaker:

make sure you say stuff

Speaker:

don't forget to say that

Speaker:

all the sudden

Speaker:

it's gonna happen faster than you think

Speaker:

and I'll never forget this lady

Speaker:

I wish I'd remembered her name

Speaker:

I remember her name

Speaker:

I just remember her being like

Speaker:

a special kind of person

Speaker:

yeah you know

Speaker:

I have an immense amount of respect for hospice um

Speaker:

professionals yeah

Speaker:

it's a tough job

Speaker:

so you know

Speaker:

I actually chose my profession

Speaker:

one of the reasons

Speaker:

was because my patients

Speaker:

tend to be really healthy

Speaker:

and I hated it when they died

Speaker:

and I wanted one that had a very low likelihood of

Speaker:

death rates

Speaker:

yeah that makes sense

Speaker:

so that's why I love what I do

Speaker:

because very few people actually die

Speaker:

yeah I was thinking about some of the

Speaker:

yeah for real

Speaker:

that would be really

Speaker:

really tough way to make a living

Speaker:

like to deal with that thing in a day out

Speaker:

but I mean we need those people

Speaker:

so I'm psyched that they are able to do that

Speaker:

but I I totally understand

Speaker:

you know I got a text from my friend earlier today

Speaker:

when we were recording The Butthole Doctor

Speaker:

not the one that's doing my guy

Speaker:

you got two guys

Speaker:

I do I have two

Speaker:

what's he saying

Speaker:

what's what's going on with him

Speaker:

oh we were just I was asking about work and stuff

Speaker:

but I just think it's funny that

Speaker:

that's how I describe my friends

Speaker:

yeah butthole guy 1 or butthole guy 2 yeah

Speaker:

you're like skin guy

Speaker:

yeah you have a lot of friends

Speaker:

you got derm dude

Speaker:

yep you got two butthole guys

Speaker:

I have one penis doctor

Speaker:

I'm really good friends with

Speaker:

you do yeah

Speaker:

she's a female urologist wow

Speaker:

great conversations

Speaker:

I'll bet is she married dating ugh

Speaker:

can't say I don't mean for me I mean

Speaker:

is that weird that a doctor sees a bunch of being

Speaker:

it just seems like a lot of competition

Speaker:

well I was just gonna say

Speaker:

I liked your joke when you were on stage

Speaker:

talking about how you're happy

Speaker:

that your girlfriend is a women's health doctor

Speaker:

oh yeah yeah

Speaker:

about how like

Speaker:

you would not be very comfortable if I saw a bunch of

Speaker:

male anatomy oh yeah

Speaker:

that's right yeah

Speaker:

I I did say that my best friend

Speaker:

one of my best friends from intern year in residency

Speaker:

is a female urologist

Speaker:

that's what she does

Speaker:

and she's married okay

Speaker:

and I'm sure it's same thing

Speaker:

it's just work whatever

Speaker:

but I just don't think

Speaker:

I feel pretty sure in in myself

Speaker:

but I don't

Speaker:

I don't know if I just would want my girlfriend

Speaker:

likes every day coming in like a

Speaker:

do you need that kind of temptation

Speaker:

you're like oh my God

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

they came in that size of that color oh

Speaker:

it's temptation

Speaker:

you see all the bad stuff

Speaker:

she's probably like

Speaker:

oh thank God

Speaker:

right normal

Speaker:

healthy one

Speaker:

that makes sense

Speaker:

that makes sense

Speaker:

how about that

Speaker:

you know how I said that as a comedian

Speaker:

we would invite people to our shows in order to hit on

Speaker:

um like a girl or something

Speaker:

do you think that a female urologist would go like

Speaker:

come on in here

Speaker:

no not necessarily urologist

Speaker:

but you think that would be a way to hit on

Speaker:

absolutely not

Speaker:

I was thinking that when I was like oh

Speaker:

how would I like

Speaker:

set up the first perfect date for a guy

Speaker:

I would never bring you into my office

Speaker:

I hate it when I get hit on at work yeah

Speaker:

worst I hate it too well

Speaker:

I know you do

Speaker:

but I'm like in the mentality of professional

Speaker:

and then I have to basically say like listen

Speaker:

we're gonna keep it going right

Speaker:

never talk to me like that again or you're done

Speaker:

what's the worst thing anyone's ever said

Speaker:

one time I was um

Speaker:

I just treated a guy for chlamydia and

Speaker:

you asked me

Speaker:

almost almost spit out coffee

Speaker:

this is crazy

Speaker:

why I do it all the time no

Speaker:

but I mean you're no no

Speaker:

no I know but I mean

Speaker:

if you're gonna

Speaker:

you're about to tell me

Speaker:

he hits on you or something after this

Speaker:

this is this is a great story

Speaker:

I don't think I've ever told you about this

Speaker:

so I was a resident

Speaker:

so I was an actual doctor on rotation in

Speaker:

inner city Detroit

Speaker:

and we were working at a low income

Speaker:

clinic that doubled as like a homeless clinic yeah

Speaker:

and this patient came in

Speaker:

and he had uh

Speaker:

all the symptoms tested positive

Speaker:

so we had given him treatment

Speaker:

and as I'm leaving

Speaker:

across the hall

Speaker:

the other door is open and another guy

Speaker:

and you know

Speaker:

patient confidentiality

Speaker:

we always keep the door shut

Speaker:

but these guys open the doors at the same time

Speaker:

I can help that

Speaker:

and he looks at him and he looks at him

Speaker:

he's like hey man

Speaker:

what you in here for okay

Speaker:

the guy gets like prison

Speaker:

and I'm thinking

Speaker:

they're not gonna say right

Speaker:

what's in here for

Speaker:

and then the other guy goes

Speaker:

probably same thing as you man yeah

Speaker:

cause of blank yeah

Speaker:

and then and then they said the girl's name

Speaker:

they were both banging

Speaker:

yes they did

Speaker:

no I was just kidding

Speaker:

no they were dead serious

Speaker:

you're kidding me

Speaker:

so we treated them both

Speaker:

and gave them education on how to have safe sex

Speaker:

cause everybody should have as much sex as they want

Speaker:

wow and they obviously didn't have it

Speaker:

and the second guy on the way out said

Speaker:

wow thanks DOC

Speaker:

are you single

Speaker:

the comedy guy

Speaker:

and he looked at me and he said

Speaker:

I also need a prescription for Viagra

Speaker:

so on the confidence

Speaker:

so he asked me for my phone number so

Speaker:

and I gave him the doctor as working with business card

Speaker:

and walked away

Speaker:

so let me ask you this question

Speaker:

so that was very awkward

Speaker:

let me ask you this follow question

Speaker:

he's back at your house

Speaker:

you guys are talking

Speaker:

Jamie I just remember how

Speaker:

the other story started off so horribly

Speaker:

and then you guys are playing records and kissing

Speaker:

I didn't kiss him

Speaker:

the other guy you did

Speaker:

I just kissed him

Speaker:

nothing else happened

Speaker:

yeah oh I know

Speaker:

I just you for some extra

Speaker:

so that's but the balls

Speaker:

the balls on these got like to be able to

Speaker:

I can't ask a girl to have to go

Speaker:

I check that box

Speaker:

chlamydia also

Speaker:

I need Viagra

Speaker:

which means I can't even keep it

Speaker:

and then to go

Speaker:

can I have your phone number

Speaker:

can you imagine

Speaker:

I've gotten hit on multiple times

Speaker:

for men asking me for Viagra

Speaker:

unbelievable

Speaker:

I don't understand it

Speaker:

I don't either

Speaker:

yeah what were you thinking about

Speaker:

I was thinking that I would surprise you

Speaker:

that the chlamydia didn't really bother me

Speaker:

the Viagra bothered me

Speaker:

I treat chlamydia all the time but the

Speaker:

it's chlamydia

Speaker:

sorry to interrupt

Speaker:

just chlamydia

Speaker:

you can cure it yeah

Speaker:

very easy to try okay

Speaker:

nice and the

Speaker:

the why is the Viagra bother you

Speaker:

cause the person it would

Speaker:

that would be tough to have a relationship with

Speaker:

someone who couldn't get it up

Speaker:

or the fact that they wanna

Speaker:

they used what is it

Speaker:

what's an awkward conversation in general

Speaker:

I don't like practicing men's health

Speaker:

they don't do it very often

Speaker:

when I have a male patient come in and say

Speaker:

I'm here for a cough

Speaker:

it's never a cough right

Speaker:

it's always for that

Speaker:

if I have a woman come in

Speaker:

she'll say I'm having vaginal bleeding

Speaker:

I'm having vaginal discharge

Speaker:

and they own up to it

Speaker:

and I often have patients who lie

Speaker:

they lie to my m a

Speaker:

so I go in the room thinking I'm treating a cough

Speaker:

I get the whole work up in

Speaker:

I look up all their labs or previous X rays

Speaker:

I'm ready to go

Speaker:

and they're like

Speaker:

I'm just here because

Speaker:

I want the Acra

Speaker:

and I'm like

Speaker:

dude just tell the truth

Speaker:

but Erica is a man

Speaker:

I get so far behind

Speaker:

in my day I know

Speaker:

so just own up to it

Speaker:

but as a man

Speaker:

if your penis doesn't work

Speaker:

not speaking from experience

Speaker:

but you wanna tell the fewest people possible

Speaker:

that you're

Speaker:

that your penis doesn't work right

Speaker:

but you're in your healthcare setting

Speaker:

where I've known you for years yeah

Speaker:

but I'm telling you

Speaker:

tell the receptionist and put it in form

Speaker:

well yeah they lied to the receptions too

Speaker:

I'm in the lobby

Speaker:

they're like

Speaker:

oh the guy this stick doesn't work

Speaker:

it's your turn

Speaker:

don't say that

Speaker:

come on back

Speaker:

and the other thing is

Speaker:

I kind of don't like Viagra that much you don't

Speaker:

I asked you if I could drink

Speaker:

for a couple of reasons

Speaker:

I'm bragging

Speaker:

could I try that

Speaker:

yeah you don't need it

Speaker:

okay but remember I was like

Speaker:

wouldn't it be fun

Speaker:

and you said no

Speaker:

I don't want guys who ask for it recreationally

Speaker:

but the side effects too

Speaker:

recreationally

Speaker:

never thought about that

Speaker:

well that's a problem though

Speaker:

it's a medication

Speaker:

the prescription was actually initially marketed

Speaker:

well developed

Speaker:

for hypertension

Speaker:

so it's a phase of dilator

Speaker:

it expands blood vessels all over your body

Speaker:

including your penis

Speaker:

it fills with blood

Speaker:

so you get an erection

Speaker:

that's usually going to last for longer

Speaker:

do you know

Speaker:

in the original study

Speaker:

when it was to reduce hypertension

Speaker:

when they come into the doctors

Speaker:

the doctors thought

Speaker:

they were just super psyched that they reduced

Speaker:

their blood pressure

Speaker:

cause they had huge erections

Speaker:

this is really excited about their progress

Speaker:

well the reason I don't like Viagra is

Speaker:

a lot of men want it when they aren't

Speaker:

appropriate candidates

Speaker:

they already have problems with their blood pressure

Speaker:

and they want it anyway

Speaker:

right or they have underlying comorbidities

Speaker:

such as diabetes

Speaker:

where they can't have an erection

Speaker:

and they don't want me to treat that

Speaker:

they just want me to give them

Speaker:

an erection

Speaker:

and I have to explain to them

Speaker:

I'm not trying to take away your social life

Speaker:

I have to fix everything else

Speaker:

but here's why

Speaker:

how about you give a lot of guys directions

Speaker:

by my prescriptions

Speaker:

no I just mean you're unattractive

Speaker:

thanks you're attractive woman

Speaker:

that's why I practice

Speaker:

please finish your thought

Speaker:

and then I have a follow up question

Speaker:

um if you actually look at the studies

Speaker:

that Pfizer was doing with sildenophil

Speaker:

so the generic for Viagra

Speaker:

um in early studies

Speaker:

they actually found that it helps substantially

Speaker:

reducing menstrual pain in women

Speaker:

and remember how we talked previously about how uh

Speaker:

period pain is equivalent to heart attacks yes

Speaker:

so they actually had pretty amazing early on

Speaker:

evidence that it would help substantially eliminate

Speaker:

significant pain during your menstrual cycle

Speaker:

reducing mystase of work

Speaker:

cutting back on lost job wages

Speaker:

finances I mean

Speaker:

there's a lot of stuff that goes into this

Speaker:

right if women take Viagra

Speaker:

yeah wow and so just to reiterate

Speaker:

if anybody missed it

Speaker:

period pain

Speaker:

it when they tried to figure out like

Speaker:

what that intensity felt like

Speaker:

that was the equivalent to a man having a heart attack

Speaker:

yeah that's unbelievable

Speaker:

uh the cramping part

Speaker:

cramping part

Speaker:

uh huh yeah

Speaker:

so this is what bothered me is the study even says it

Speaker:

if you look at the printed material

Speaker:

it says that they've had prelimed findings that were

Speaker:

pretty substantially impressive to help reducing pain

Speaker:

but at the same time

Speaker:

they found out it gave men erections

Speaker:

wow so they

Speaker:

abandoned the study to help women with menstrual pain

Speaker:

and dumped a lot into erection

Speaker:

nice not even close

Speaker:

not nice no

Speaker:

cause you're saying they should have helped these women

Speaker:

yeah and now the men

Speaker:

they saw the money

Speaker:

yep they go

Speaker:

this is the

Speaker:

this is like the magic pill

Speaker:

wow um so that bothers me

Speaker:

because they had pretty good evidence

Speaker:

out there that they could have run with

Speaker:

and it felt like um

Speaker:

sex was chosen over chronic pain

Speaker:

manager sex and money and greed

Speaker:

yeah over that

Speaker:

yeah absolutely

Speaker:

isn't it crazy how many

Speaker:

medications we discovered by mistake

Speaker:

how many Medica

Speaker:

isn't Rogaine one of those

Speaker:

like people started growing hair

Speaker:

wasn't there something

Speaker:

it just started growing hair

Speaker:

and someone's nipples or something

Speaker:

or is that wrong

Speaker:

well monoxidil has

Speaker:

monoxidil yeah

Speaker:

well penicillin

Speaker:

like mold spores

Speaker:

I mean I think that it's really interesting

Speaker:

how we've developed a lot of modern medicine hmm

Speaker:

yeah wild well

Speaker:

I guess I'm not gonna try Viagra

Speaker:

it's tempting

Speaker:

as a guy you go

Speaker:

you're not necessarily thinking like

Speaker:

I can't perform in the bedroom

Speaker:

you're going like

Speaker:

Morse better

Speaker:

like let's go more longer

Speaker:

let's keep this going

Speaker:

so it's like a fun

Speaker:

almost like I'm awake

Speaker:

but a coffee would make me more awake

Speaker:

I'm not asleep

Speaker:

I don't need coffee to wake up

Speaker:

but it might be like a fun thing

Speaker:

but you really warned me off that

Speaker:

you were like

Speaker:

you shouldn't take that

Speaker:

no not at all

Speaker:

I mean I'm very cautious to prescribing medication

Speaker:

unnecessarily

Speaker:

and you know

Speaker:

I do think that they marketed it in a way that um

Speaker:

tried to appeal to men

Speaker:

by capitalizing on their side effect

Speaker:

you know the side effect is

Speaker:

you see the commercials

Speaker:

what's the big side effect

Speaker:

when they're like oh

Speaker:

take Viagra

Speaker:

but oh shit

Speaker:

if you take this

Speaker:

this could happen

Speaker:

you're saying more people were like

Speaker:

buy it now because of the side of it

Speaker:

that was a trick

Speaker:

they're saying like

Speaker:

you might get a really long

Speaker:

you might ever actually

Speaker:

really long time exactly

Speaker:

that's a great point

Speaker:

yep it's called preopism

Speaker:

and they'll say that if it lasted more than three hours

Speaker:

you need to go to the er and have them treat you

Speaker:

because you have this extremely powerful

Speaker:

right crazy stamina erection

Speaker:

those sons of bitches

Speaker:

they're so clever

Speaker:

I did not even think that's like them go like

Speaker:

you know don't take very a side effects might include

Speaker:

you might fuck a lot

Speaker:

so it might

Speaker:

you might miss appointments cause you're banging people

Speaker:

you're right

Speaker:

they're trying to

Speaker:

the side effects was a positive thing

Speaker:

I even think about that

Speaker:

you know how many of my male patients

Speaker:

when I go through the side effects

Speaker:

before I prescribe it

Speaker:

look at me like wait

Speaker:

are you are you for real right now

Speaker:

right like this is a bad thing

Speaker:

but you do have to be careful

Speaker:

occasionally that can happen and um

Speaker:

you have a 4 hour erection yeah

Speaker:

you know how you treat it

Speaker:

blow jump Jamie

Speaker:

no like even after you've ejaculated

Speaker:

you still have an erection no

Speaker:

what am I gonna do with that at this point

Speaker:

well deal with it for a while and then

Speaker:

so if it causes your blood flow to change after a while

Speaker:

it can be quite damaging to um

Speaker:

the tissue your your penis itself

Speaker:

so they suggest injecting

Speaker:

your penis with a shot of epidephrine

Speaker:

needle to the dick

Speaker:

so now you don't want Viagra

Speaker:

that's the most painful thing to imagine hmm

Speaker:

I don't think so

Speaker:

where is it wearing

Speaker:

to the right to the to the end of it

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

I've never had to do it

Speaker:

you know what

Speaker:

I'll take a four hour action see you in four hours

Speaker:

he pulls out that needle

Speaker:

he pulls out a needle

Speaker:

your dick just immediately shrivels

Speaker:

you don't even need the need or is like uh

Speaker:

never mind I go

Speaker:

you know what

Speaker:

I'll see you in four hours

Speaker:

I'm gonna just go

Speaker:

hang out in a room with another four hours

Speaker:

you want an eight hour erection now

Speaker:

oh no I meant like in general

Speaker:

if he's gonna do that to keep it down

Speaker:

I might go let me see what I can do my own yeah

Speaker:

I can come back in

Speaker:

I didn't know that it happened

Speaker:

I didn't know if it was after

Speaker:

I didn't know if it was after

Speaker:

I did not know it was after ejaculation

Speaker:

it continued

Speaker:

I never knew that

Speaker:

I thought you're just like waiting and waiting

Speaker:

it was a lot of anticipation

Speaker:

and it was four hours and then you got the

Speaker:

you couldn't finish

Speaker:

yeah no but I will say

Speaker:

and I don't wanna just like knock it

Speaker:

cause I think fires on a lot of really good things also

Speaker:

um I've seen women with

Speaker:

Viagra as a prescription on their medical list

Speaker:

hmm and as a student I was like

Speaker:

what is this

Speaker:

but it actually treats something called

Speaker:

pulmonary hypertension

Speaker:

it's one of the best medicines for it

Speaker:

wow so um so Donna

Speaker:

Phil can do a lot of good

Speaker:

you blew my mind though

Speaker:

that would be like with that side effect thing

Speaker:

that it's a good thing

Speaker:

you blew every

Speaker:

like your cigarettes

Speaker:

they're like hey

Speaker:

we gotta warn ya

Speaker:

if you smoke cigarettes

Speaker:

like you're gonna look fucking cool yeah

Speaker:

well they did that in their marketing

Speaker:

right they did

Speaker:

that's how they appealed to the masses

Speaker:

especially youth

Speaker:

yeah alright

Speaker:

well that was super interesting

Speaker:

so let me ask you a question about the colonoscopy

Speaker:

I do it's so hard to not go back to

Speaker:

you just must see so much stuff in um

Speaker:

in those rooms

Speaker:

those rooms

Speaker:

you're alone

Speaker:

you're alone with a guy oh

Speaker:

and some no no

Speaker:

I'm never alone oh

Speaker:

oh I always have a chaperone yeah

Speaker:

I know that

Speaker:

I remember we're together last night

Speaker:

and that guy was here

Speaker:

I have a question

Speaker:

I thought of a question

Speaker:

what you ever seen an unnecessary

Speaker:

you ever see an uh

Speaker:

involuntary boner

Speaker:

a couple times you have

Speaker:

cause you know

Speaker:

massuses and massage people

Speaker:

you know there's got to be erections left and right

Speaker:

I've seen some

Speaker:

but like they had their clothes on thankfully

Speaker:

didn't you tell me there's a way to

Speaker:

there's this way to get rid of an erection

Speaker:

well yeah my attending taught me that

Speaker:

when we had to learn how to do a male exam

Speaker:

and he basically took the

Speaker:

his nail and flicked it into the head of the penis

Speaker:

oh wow so now

Speaker:

not as much scientific

Speaker:

is just hitting something in the dick with your hand

Speaker:

yeah I I could never do that

Speaker:

like when he said that I was like

Speaker:

is that a joke

Speaker:

but he was dead serious he's like

Speaker:

if someone does this to you in the room

Speaker:

this is what you have to do

Speaker:

and me and the other students were like

Speaker:

the hell we will

Speaker:

I feel like I'd get sued

Speaker:

so we talked about

Speaker:

colonoscopies

Speaker:

hmm mine in particular

Speaker:

yep we talked about what's gonna happen before

Speaker:

the procedure itself's gonna be blink of an eye

Speaker:

we talked about the aftermath you know

Speaker:

they call it an anal wink

Speaker:

what do you mean

Speaker:

when you're testing the tone of your sphincter

Speaker:

what are you talking about

Speaker:

when you touch someone's butthole

Speaker:

to make sure that they don't have any neurological

Speaker:

compromise if I touch it

Speaker:

it's a reflex

Speaker:

to squeeze down

Speaker:

so when you said blink of an eye

Speaker:

you made me think of no

Speaker:

for you it's an anal leak

Speaker:

are you saying

Speaker:

I'm just that

Speaker:

you know when I hit

Speaker:

that's how doctors make jokes okay

Speaker:

is that a real thing yes

Speaker:

so you you know how when I

Speaker:

in my notes it'll say appropriate rectal tone

Speaker:

yeah sometimes I'll say positive or present

Speaker:

anal blink is that so

Speaker:

so is this like when you hit me on the knee to check my

Speaker:

my pterodactyl reflex

Speaker:

yeah sure well

Speaker:

yeah I mean

Speaker:

it's a neurological

Speaker:

response to make sure that you're neurologically intact

Speaker:

you don't have a problem with your spinal cord

Speaker:

I was with a girl once oh God

Speaker:

and I don't like where this is going already

Speaker:

yeah I'll do

Speaker:

the girl wants it

Speaker:

she's kind of facing no

Speaker:

she's facing down and um

Speaker:

she gave me an anal wink

Speaker:

oh my gosh no

Speaker:

I thought that might go ahead

Speaker:

I thought that man had permission

Speaker:

um I don't even

Speaker:

I don't even know what to say to that one

Speaker:

okay ain't a wink very interesting

Speaker:

do you know what story that makes me think of

Speaker:

no I don't wanna hear your stories

Speaker:

mine are medically derived

Speaker:

yours are like

Speaker:

either fictitious or something that I really did

Speaker:

fictitious well

Speaker:

I'm hoping that you're making them up

Speaker:

well the it's hard to figure out

Speaker:

I would hope that you're talking about buttholes

Speaker:

just to make me laugh

Speaker:

but you never know

Speaker:

a lot of people don't think about how hard consent is

Speaker:

when the girls face the other way

Speaker:

Jamie right

Speaker:

that's not even a laughable one

Speaker:

an anal wink is a way to go like oh

Speaker:

I think I got the green light

Speaker:

no yeah uh uh

Speaker:

oh my God we call the anal green light

Speaker:

so interesting

Speaker:

I've never heard of the in a link before

Speaker:

well I'm glad

Speaker:

could you tell me what it means again

Speaker:

you're saying it means our everything's doing well

Speaker:

it's a natural reflex

Speaker:

so it means your nerves are intact

Speaker:

gotcha and your body goes

Speaker:

oh don't like that

Speaker:

and kind of tenses up gotcha

Speaker:

and if it's relaxed

Speaker:

sometimes you might have some neurological damage okay

Speaker:

like someone's got someone's got a lazy brown eye yeah

Speaker:

oh you liked that one didn't you

Speaker:

yeah I just

Speaker:

it's fun when you're talking about medical stuff to

Speaker:

say stuff like that's super fascinating

Speaker:

you don't know

Speaker:

what is making me think that you're involved you know

Speaker:

I'm privileges

Speaker:

if you'd like me to go observe your colonoscopy

Speaker:

I don't even think about that hmm

Speaker:

I could be an assist

Speaker:

what would you think

Speaker:

I would of course not want that what would you think

Speaker:

what would you think would you want you would know no

Speaker:

no I don't want to be on anything

Speaker:

it even mine a little too invasive with you

Speaker:

I I'm curious when you are under

Speaker:

how much consciousness you actually have

Speaker:

like when you're not totally knocked out

Speaker:

but you know what I'm gonna do

Speaker:

if you're in there

Speaker:

if I I'll wink at you if I

Speaker:

with what I yeah

Speaker:

all three ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah um

Speaker:

do you know what the story I wanted to

Speaker:

it's with you the wink

Speaker:

what does the wink make you think of

Speaker:

well now it's one of the hardest I've ever laughed at

Speaker:

something you said in my whole life about winking oh

Speaker:

oh the condom yeah

Speaker:

what happened was all types of condoms

Speaker:

there's condoms they sell at target and stuff and

Speaker:

we use condoms and sometimes I go to a specialty

Speaker:

store to see if they might have some higher end condoms

Speaker:

and so I went to one of these places

Speaker:

where condoms was the

Speaker:

like there was a place that had a lot of stuff

Speaker:

I didn't purchase had

Speaker:

there were like whips and chains and things like that

Speaker:

right yeah but a couple things with no whips or chains

Speaker:

and they had high end uh

Speaker:

they had high end uh

Speaker:

condoms I thought

Speaker:

so I bought these ones called

Speaker:

they were wink brand

Speaker:

and um it's

Speaker:

uh oh my God

Speaker:

this is probably a topic for another time

Speaker:

but birth control and stuff like that

Speaker:

but what happened was there was a

Speaker:

there was a an error

Speaker:

there was a

Speaker:

what would you call it

Speaker:

a mistake it uh

Speaker:

it failed right

Speaker:

like condoms are 99% effective

Speaker:

this was that time when they are not

Speaker:

and the unfortunate rupture

Speaker:

well do you think it ruptured or do you think it fell

Speaker:

like came off

Speaker:

I thought it broke oh

Speaker:

oh that was a different time Jeez

Speaker:

was I there

Speaker:

I don't know

Speaker:

wink so haha

Speaker:

wow I just got really uncomfortable

Speaker:

no you of course

Speaker:

you were there

Speaker:

oh yes okay

Speaker:

I fell off yeah

Speaker:

yeah and then I was

Speaker:

we are both very nervous

Speaker:

cause obviously this is something we take seriously

Speaker:

practicing the safe section everything

Speaker:

but then you said

Speaker:

I think in a way to diffuse the moment

Speaker:

you were like

Speaker:

oh that's like their selling point

Speaker:

they're like

Speaker:

yeah these condoms are really secure

Speaker:

and nothing bad will happen

Speaker:

wink and you said that when you're on top of me

Speaker:

well I think

Speaker:

cause you were like wow

Speaker:

it felt really good

Speaker:

I should have known it did

Speaker:

and I was waiting for you to be like wink

Speaker:

yeah they don't talk about that a lot but

Speaker:

I'm not gonna say it

Speaker:

yeah I know it did

Speaker:

suddenly you have to be very scared that

Speaker:

if it suddenly starts feeling way better for a guy

Speaker:

I didn't notice

Speaker:

you can't tell

Speaker:

so crazy well

Speaker:

like the ribbed kinds

Speaker:

you can hmm

Speaker:

you know when they're textured on the outside

Speaker:

yeah that's why I'll say like for her pleasure

Speaker:

whatever they'll put some that are textured

Speaker:

is it for her pleasure

Speaker:

is that pleasurable

Speaker:

I consider it to be uncomfortable okay

Speaker:

but I'm sure women

Speaker:

some women must like it

Speaker:

okay it helps actually with stimulation for your G spot

Speaker:

G spot yeah

Speaker:

is the G spot the same as the clitoris

Speaker:

um well yes and no okay

Speaker:

yes in the sense that we're all one organ right

Speaker:

um and you can achieve climax from internal penetration

Speaker:

or external simulation of the clitoris

Speaker:

no in the sense that when you say G spot

Speaker:

it's meaning specifically internal

Speaker:

I see I see

Speaker:

is that right

Speaker:

well it's a neurovascular bundle

Speaker:

it's basically a bunch of nerves

Speaker:

like nerve endings

Speaker:

wow so the sensitivity is like the tip of your penis

Speaker:

essentially

Speaker:

oh I see do you spot inside Clitoris outside

Speaker:

yes yeah okay

Speaker:

good to know

Speaker:

on the next episode of afraid to ask

Speaker:

we have some questions coming in um

Speaker:

some people are embarrassed to ask about masturbating

Speaker:

which is a very natural thing

Speaker:

so we'll get into some of that

Speaker:

we have some question coming in about

Speaker:

birth control and what kind of you know

Speaker:

I think those are two really good topics

Speaker:

and so we will um

Speaker:

discuss those things

Speaker:

and then my last question about the colonoscopy

Speaker:

not joking was what do I

Speaker:

this is what started your

Speaker:

what do you call an anal wink uh huh

Speaker:

what am I to expect in the days following the procedure

Speaker:

can I play basketball

Speaker:

oh you'll be fine right away

Speaker:

no like so you'll come out of the sedation

Speaker:

and you'll be kind of loopy for a couple of hours

Speaker:

so you need someone to drive you home

Speaker:

you'll probably have a little bit of gas

Speaker:

that's it okay

Speaker:

and then your vows will regulate

Speaker:

so you regulate those nor no

Speaker:

no so you'll have a normal bowel movement

Speaker:

probably the next day or so

Speaker:

oh okay depending on how regular you are

Speaker:

and like the beginning

Speaker:

before you even have the procedure

Speaker:

and then you'll be fine okay

Speaker:

so you go back to work the next day

Speaker:

just to warn you

Speaker:

um the day I come back

Speaker:

I may need to use the fitness room in your house

Speaker:

but sneaking away to take her normal size dump

Speaker:

you'll be exercising every five minutes

Speaker:

I'm gonna get a hotel

Speaker:

I'm gonna get a hotel

Speaker:

I think it's the right decision

Speaker:

you know what Jamie

Speaker:

it won't bother me at all

Speaker:

if you shit your pants all day in my house

Speaker:

wink coming up on the next episode of afraid to ask

Speaker:

yeah I guess it is an effort right

Speaker:

to like wrap it up

Speaker:

yeah you got some type of birth control or something

Speaker:

versus just like

Speaker:

yep that's noise I make

Speaker:

this brings me to this question

Speaker:

which kind of ties in here

Speaker:

I'm really unattractive

Speaker:

hey Jamie Erica

Speaker:

um I have a question I

Speaker:

well basically I was with somebody in the condom broke

Speaker:

and it's been about two days

Speaker:

so I can't take the Plan B pill

Speaker:

I'm just wondering what my options are

Speaker:

is your plan C

Speaker:

I was not on birth control

Speaker:

is there anything that you can tell me about

Speaker:

about the situation that might be able to help me

Speaker:

thank you wow

Speaker:

so just I didn't know that was what the question was

Speaker:

Speaker:

Speaker:
