Speaker:I'm his client
Speaker:he supposedly loves me and has my best interests are
Speaker:and he's also he's had very good ideas in the past
Speaker:and so he says
Speaker:I have an idea for the name of your show
Speaker:but I don't want to offend you
Speaker:it's a great lead up isn't it
Speaker:what do you do you have any guesses to where I'm going
Speaker:why can't I get it up
Speaker:no oh he said you why don't you call it
Speaker:are you ready
Speaker:and he went through not just this
Speaker:but a bunch of them he goes
Speaker:why don't you call it something like the
Speaker:the doctor and the dumbass
Speaker:oh my God no
Speaker:and I said I
Speaker:I wouldn't mind that because I get
Speaker:I get that it's like oh
Speaker:it's this doctor who knows things
Speaker:and then this is comedian
Speaker:no but I I go
Speaker:my girlfriend
Speaker:I'm offended
Speaker:would not like that at all fuck no
Speaker:I'm offended
Speaker:you know what I liked about you was how smart you are
Speaker:I don't I don't
Speaker:I don't I think like I don't feel that way
Speaker:but but like
Speaker:I thank you well
Speaker:your timing is impeccable
Speaker:and your wit is there
Speaker:but you also read people and read audiences
Speaker:and what I saw when I watched you live was like
Speaker:how you change everything
Speaker:to meet the needs of the people that are there
Speaker:and a lot of people may okay
Speaker:they're book smart
Speaker:but they're fucking idiots
Speaker:I feel like
Speaker:you are well read
Speaker:oh you're smiling
Speaker:look at this
Speaker:you're very well read
Speaker:and you have read more than I have
Speaker:and that really blew me out of the water
Speaker:so yeah doctor
Speaker:the dumbass no go
Speaker:the reason I'm smiling is No. 1
Speaker:it's always nice to like
Speaker:get a compliment
Speaker:I'm of course
Speaker:super uncomfortable with compliments
Speaker:I want I want to do it
Speaker:oh I'm sure though
Speaker:that is coming right around the corner
Speaker:but I was tempted to argue with you just now
Speaker:and instead
Speaker:I just decided like oh
Speaker:that's like a nice thing to say
Speaker:the reason I'm really smiling is
Speaker:that's what I knew you would say
Speaker:of course like
Speaker:when he said that I go oh
Speaker:you don't even
Speaker:like on godfold when I go
Speaker:oh you know
Speaker:I thought whatever
Speaker:I don't like self deprecation
Speaker:when you could just simply state
Speaker:a fact and let people make their own decision
Speaker:which would be a positive one
Speaker:so I say to him
Speaker:I'll be honest with you
Speaker:I didn't tell him the truth
Speaker:I said I go
Speaker:I think that's kind of funny
Speaker:I get it I'll talk to my girlfriend
Speaker:but I don't think she's gonna like it
Speaker:and I didn't tell him why
Speaker:so then he goes
Speaker:oh no there's more he goes
Speaker:what about like
Speaker:the doctor in the douchebag
Speaker:oh my God well
Speaker:I hate that for two reasons okay
Speaker:is it to do with
Speaker:is a douchebag a derogatory
Speaker:yes I don't think I ever really thought about that
Speaker:what is a douchebag
Speaker:it's like an idiot
Speaker:do you know what it is
Speaker:like you mean
Speaker:what is an actual thing
Speaker:yeah I would guess that it's some sort of
Speaker:like a cleaning type of thing like a
Speaker:I don't know what you would do with it
Speaker:I don't know
Speaker:I don't know what it is
Speaker:wow douchebag
Speaker:wow bunch of douchebags
Speaker:is it can I ask you a question
Speaker:is it is do we still use the term douchebag or is it
Speaker:is it an old
Speaker:what's the collective we
Speaker:I most certainly don't
Speaker:so what is it
Speaker:well I think the derogatory
Speaker:derivative is someone who's an idiot
Speaker:yeah but I mean
Speaker:like what is a
Speaker:why are you
Speaker:why would you be offended
Speaker:is there what
Speaker:is there what is it
Speaker:what actually is a douchebag
Speaker:it's implied
Speaker:that you are ridiculous
Speaker:and I don't know
Speaker:it's a negative connotation
Speaker:and it's a reference towards women
Speaker:that's what I'm
Speaker:that's what I'm getting at
Speaker:only women do they teach
Speaker:right I mean
Speaker:you shouldn't
Speaker:and most women don't
Speaker:you should not do
Speaker:you should not
Speaker:it's an archaic
Speaker:thing that was created
Speaker:because women were taught that vaginas were dirty
Speaker:which they are not I mean
Speaker:I'm pretty sure that you like mine
Speaker:yeah you know
Speaker:who recommended my vagina
Speaker:who recommends that
Speaker:people use douchebags
Speaker:ha ha ha bunch of fucking douchebags
Speaker:you can't say that
Speaker:the reason I don't like the term is because it is
Speaker:it basically is like oh
Speaker:you're a horrible person
Speaker:and you do something for your vagina
Speaker:it's like pussy
Speaker:I hate that word
Speaker:just saying it
Speaker:disgusts me well
Speaker:we'll agree to disagree
Speaker:we don't say
Speaker:I love your pussy
Speaker:we say you are a pussy
Speaker:and it's negative
Speaker:same with douchebag okay
Speaker:I've said I love you
Speaker:why don't we
Speaker:make that terminology for Viagra
Speaker:you piece of shit
Speaker:you can't get it up on your own
Speaker:you're Viagra
Speaker:that makes way more
Speaker:or you're like yeah
Speaker:you that makes way more sense I mean
Speaker:think about it
Speaker:in general a vagina
Speaker:I don't want to say the P word
Speaker:I just feel weird saying that in front of you
Speaker:just because I know it makes you comfortable
Speaker:but think about what a vagina does
Speaker:how strong it is
Speaker:how it has a baby
Speaker:it's a ridiculous
Speaker:it's ridiculous
Speaker:uh thing to
Speaker:to call someone
Speaker:I could see how you get offended
Speaker:my only thing would be
Speaker:douchebag if it
Speaker:is an archaic practice
Speaker:does it not
Speaker:at some point
Speaker:get freed up
Speaker:for the Urban
Speaker:Dictionary to call someone a douchebag
Speaker:or you think that
Speaker:they're still in practice
Speaker:and you can still find them in certain drugstores oh
Speaker:so women still
Speaker:occasionally
Speaker:will use them
Speaker:although we advise
Speaker:against them
Speaker:so they're still being utilized
Speaker:is it a cleaning thing
Speaker:yes okay but
Speaker:why do you have to clean something
Speaker:that's great
Speaker:so you're saying
Speaker:now keep in mind
Speaker:I'm not a doctor
Speaker:are you saying that
Speaker:if you are getting a douchebag
Speaker:medical term
Speaker:there's there might be some under
Speaker:something else going on
Speaker:do you wanna know why women typically
Speaker:use douches
Speaker:do you know okay
Speaker:first of all
Speaker:do you know what it is
Speaker:we didn't get back to that
Speaker:do you know what it is
Speaker:my ex wife would
Speaker:date douchebags
Speaker:is that weird
Speaker:no oh you're not
Speaker:you're missing the whole point what
Speaker:why would they
Speaker:why would someone
Speaker:is it for is it cause
Speaker:they're going on a date
Speaker:you could well
Speaker:the whole practice
Speaker:is to cleanse
Speaker:the vaginal
Speaker:cavity right
Speaker:why are you laughing
Speaker:I wasn't laughing
Speaker:I actually swallowed my water
Speaker:you know what I'm gonna say
Speaker:you're being a fucking douchebag okay
Speaker:I'm sorry please continue
Speaker:I was not laughing
Speaker:I drank a sip wrong cool
Speaker:I'll remember that later
Speaker:I'm gonna do that
Speaker:when you ask me if it was good for me tonight so
Speaker:most women use them
Speaker:it's like a squirting device typically
Speaker:and it rinses everything
Speaker:they use it after sex
Speaker:they use it to get rid of your shit
Speaker:after sex yes
Speaker:to get rid of all the semen
Speaker:all the ejaculation that is in their body
Speaker:that's from a guy
Speaker:so I still don't understand like
Speaker:why people say you're a douchebag well
Speaker:I'm getting rid of your shit
Speaker:I'm not a weak woman
Speaker:but it still has that connotation that women are weak
Speaker:or women are dirty
Speaker:and that's why I hate it okay
Speaker:I I accept that
Speaker:it makes it makes sense so anyway
Speaker:the podcast will not be called
Speaker:The Doctor in the
Speaker:dumbass or the doctor in the douchebag
Speaker:but I'm about to tell you something
Speaker:that is going to blow your mind
Speaker:my mind what
Speaker:so when we wanted
Speaker:when I wanted to call it
Speaker:asking for a friend
Speaker:and I searched it
Speaker:I was slightly upset
Speaker:I knew it wasn't your favorite name for the podcast
Speaker:maybe not mine either
Speaker:but I felt like it truly was a
Speaker:was a good description of what it might be
Speaker:sure what I did was I googled it
Speaker:I went on Spotify and I searched podcast
Speaker:and there was already a podcast called you know
Speaker:asking for a friend
Speaker:there are two
Speaker:podcasts called the doctor and the dumbass no
Speaker:there aren't
Speaker:and there is one podcast
Speaker:who's the dumbass
Speaker:it's it's the same
Speaker:it's that same dynamic of a doctor and a regular person
Speaker:there's also
Speaker:the doctor in the douchebag no
Speaker:there's a doctor in a dummy
Speaker:a doctor in a douchebag
Speaker:and a doctor in and a
Speaker:and a dumbass
Speaker:it's already exist
Speaker:are they a comedians
Speaker:no I think one
Speaker:what's here's the problem
Speaker:with starting a new podcast
Speaker:you if you start a podcast
Speaker:and you do through like 10 episodes
Speaker:it's on Spotify
Speaker:pretty much forever
Speaker:and so there one of them
Speaker:the doctor and the dumbass
Speaker:like I'll bet it's the dumbass
Speaker:you forgot to take this thing down
Speaker:but their last episode was probably 10 years ago
Speaker:they did 10
Speaker:they got no one listened
Speaker:it has no reviews
Speaker:that's the name that comes up if you Google the podcast
Speaker:so I mean could you
Speaker:could we take it and do the same name
Speaker:like I guess so
Speaker:but that felt unoriginal to me
Speaker:I don't like the name
Speaker:but that's you're not a dumbass okay
Speaker:well thank you but
Speaker:I think we did find it certainly not our first choice
Speaker:our first hundred choices were taken
Speaker:I don't think so
Speaker:I'm not even gonna lie to you
Speaker:what you dropped today when we were shopping
Speaker:my favorite one
Speaker:oh yeah okay
Speaker:so I wanted something
Speaker:I said I think I like where we're going with this
Speaker:but I want there to be
Speaker:I want you to know like what it's about from the name
Speaker:I want you to know it's easily searchable
Speaker:uh huh and and so it's uh
Speaker:it's uh afraid to ask yeah
Speaker:where I ask and I
Speaker:I play the part of the guy that doesn't know
Speaker:I don't know a lot about medicine
Speaker:and I do have questions and I
Speaker:but I'm not afraid to ask
Speaker:I'll ask you anything
Speaker:so you know
Speaker:we'll get into questions like from
Speaker:especially if something was from
Speaker:comes from personal experience between us
Speaker:we will ask questions like
Speaker:like what is blue balls
Speaker:is there is there a um
Speaker:is there an actual medical term of blue balls
Speaker:like do women get blue balls
Speaker:like is it a real thing
Speaker:like stuff like that stuff
Speaker:so will eventually be taking questions
Speaker:from people that have stuff that are afraid to ask yeah
Speaker:and with that
Speaker:cause I really wanted to call it asking for a friend
Speaker:cause that like really intrigues me
Speaker:I don't get embarrassed
Speaker:like I don't get embarrassed
Speaker:like if I had trouble
Speaker:anytime at the doctor wait
Speaker:are you giving me like
Speaker:you don't believe me
Speaker:like is that not true
Speaker:that's correct
Speaker:do you think I get embarrassed
Speaker:of course you do
Speaker:in that situation of asking about like
Speaker:not to be like
Speaker:if I couldn't get an erection
Speaker:which I'm I never had that issue before
Speaker:but if I did
Speaker:I don't know if I date no winner
Speaker:I don't know if I would have
Speaker:have had I had a problem with it
Speaker:but maybe that's not okay for me to say
Speaker:cause I've never been there
Speaker:but I've had other things where
Speaker:I don't know if it's from being on the radio
Speaker:for a while
Speaker:you just kind of get
Speaker:or doing comedy
Speaker:you get used to just like talking about
Speaker:just this afternoon
Speaker:a friend of mine messaged me and he said
Speaker:he goes hey
Speaker:would you do me a favor
Speaker:and I go yeah
Speaker:and he goes
Speaker:would you write an affidavit
Speaker:is to prove that me and my wife are married
Speaker:he goes we need it for like Argentina
Speaker:and he goes
Speaker:just say that you were with us
Speaker:when I asked my wife to marry me on Catalina Island
Speaker:all I gotta do is like
Speaker:write a little thing that says you were with me
Speaker:and I read it and I write back
Speaker:hey dude honestly
Speaker:it just sounds a little bit
Speaker:I just wanna do something like illegal
Speaker:like I'd be
Speaker:I'd be happy to
Speaker:to do this but like
Speaker:let's find a date when I didn't have a show like
Speaker:cause what if they could
Speaker:what if they issue her some sort of license
Speaker:and then they find out I had a show that night
Speaker:and I wasn't there
Speaker:and then he leaves me an audio message that says dude
Speaker:what the fuck are you
Speaker:that actually happened
Speaker:it's a real story
Speaker:I didn't make it up
Speaker:and you were there
Speaker:you were there
Speaker:this actually happened
Speaker:and so I felt like a jerk
Speaker:but I fast up to it
Speaker:you did immediately
Speaker:I'm proud of you
Speaker:it was not embarrassed
Speaker:I couldn't wait to show you
Speaker:what a fool I made of myself yeah
Speaker:well listening to his voice message was hilarious yeah
Speaker:that was amazing
Speaker:I like it when people call you on your shit
Speaker:which is why I'm excited to do this
Speaker:because I feel like
Speaker:a lot of the stuff that I don't talk about in medicine
Speaker:needs to be talked about
Speaker:a lot of my platform is talking about
Speaker:the scary or uncomfortable
Speaker:because so many people get
Speaker:intimidated to go to the doctor
Speaker:and they don't tell me anything
Speaker:they just say
Speaker:oh yeah I'm here to
Speaker:have my blood pressure checked right
Speaker:and they have all these other questions
Speaker:but they're too scared to ask
Speaker:I only get those questions from you or my close friends
Speaker:like and I think everybody deserves to ask them
Speaker:and deserves to have them answered
Speaker:but in a fun way too yeah
Speaker:like wouldn't you wanna like
Speaker:I don't know
Speaker:hang out with your friends and like
Speaker:find an answer to like any penis question under the sun
Speaker:wow oh you like that one
Speaker:by the way there's three podcasts already named
Speaker:any penis question under the sun
Speaker:there's three different
Speaker:okay okay well
Speaker:I'm women's health
Speaker:so I'm not gonna give you too much penis stuff
Speaker:and if I have to
Speaker:I'm probably gonna look it up
Speaker:vagine inquiries
Speaker:I will give you
Speaker:we'll edit that out yeah
Speaker:no why would you edit that out
Speaker:well I'm glad I'm done with my terrible vagina idea
Speaker:vagina diaries it's fine
Speaker:so you can say douchebag diaries
Speaker:I'm happy with you okay
Speaker:but thank you
Speaker:first of all
Speaker:for coming to my defense
Speaker:on the douchebag
Speaker:dumbass thing
Speaker:I'm actually not familiar with that
Speaker:in a relationship or someone
Speaker:supports you and does nice things to you
Speaker:and um so you
Speaker:so you were saying
Speaker:you get you get people that come in
Speaker:and they don't wanna ask you questions
Speaker:and I for sure am that guy that
Speaker:do you get a lot of people that are like
Speaker:I don't wanna get this test
Speaker:cause I don't wanna know yeah
Speaker:well cause what comes to mind for me is
Speaker:cancer yeah
Speaker:yeah and I was thinking
Speaker:I just got a colonoscopy scheduled
Speaker:I have in a couple weeks
Speaker:and why did you get that scheduled Jamie
Speaker:cause you freaking
Speaker:told me over and over and over that I needed to do it
Speaker:or I would have never done it
Speaker:that brings up a really good point though
Speaker:if you weren't dating a doctor
Speaker:would you have done it
Speaker:I don't think you would have
Speaker:no and I'm not trying to give myself credit
Speaker:I just feel like a lot of people are so afraid
Speaker:they won't do it
Speaker:and they need that little push yeah
Speaker:and would you say
Speaker:if you're gonna
Speaker:it almost doesn't make sense
Speaker:and I'm saying
Speaker:I do this and it doesn't make sense
Speaker:it doesn't make sense to go
Speaker:I don't wanna know what's going on on there
Speaker:because the earlier we find something like this
Speaker:the if something was going on with my
Speaker:I don't know
Speaker:what could happen
Speaker:from the colonoscopy
Speaker:I don't see
Speaker:I'm afraid to ask well
Speaker:I really am
Speaker:like I don't
Speaker:I almost didn't
Speaker:you're just lucky
Speaker:that the guy who's doing it
Speaker:happens to be a personal friend of mine
Speaker:so he's gonna take you to dinner
Speaker:before he proves your asshole
Speaker:oh that's nice
Speaker:yeah I know
Speaker:I set it up nicely for you
Speaker:is it weird that
Speaker:it's your friend
Speaker:I got your back
Speaker:I think it's a little weird
Speaker:why you're not looking at your dick
Speaker:yeah but let me
Speaker:is it because he
Speaker:this is what he does
Speaker:that is not
Speaker:strange yeah
Speaker:like if you're sensitized
Speaker:it doesn't matter
Speaker:like if there's another guy
Speaker:friend of yours
Speaker:and you were like
Speaker:oh I looked at your boyfriend's asshole
Speaker:and he was a
Speaker:photographer
Speaker:that would be strange
Speaker:unless he photographed assholes
Speaker:exactly so I feel
Speaker:I don't feel I do that
Speaker:I take care of my friends
Speaker:I do their vaginal
Speaker:exams all the time
Speaker:I look down there
Speaker:I touched and do procedures
Speaker:and if they're comfortable
Speaker:I'm comfortable
Speaker:I think the hard thing is that
Speaker:is the most
Speaker:sensitive thing in your entire world
Speaker:well that hurts my dick
Speaker:after hearing about you and your friends
Speaker:what is wrong with you
Speaker:I think so many think
Speaker:what in the hell just happened
Speaker:I'm sorry do you think
Speaker:you're never getting introduced to any of them now
Speaker:the ones you've already met
Speaker:I'm gonna let them flee the country
Speaker:it just sounds like an original
Speaker:beginning of a pornographic movie like oh
Speaker:thanks for seeing me
Speaker:my insurance
Speaker:you know it lapsed and we've always been friends
Speaker:this is so I apologize
Speaker:you were saying something serious and I do
Speaker:I I legitimately
Speaker:but you were saying
Speaker:you have to look at it in the perspective of the person
Speaker:who comes to see me
Speaker:they never come to see me on the best day of their life
Speaker:to see the doctor right
Speaker:so automatically
Speaker:you've taken time off from work
Speaker:you scheduled this
Speaker:you're probably nervous
Speaker:and then if you have a concern
Speaker:that happens to be in a sensitive area
Speaker:that's really shitty
Speaker:it is and you know
Speaker:you're gonna have to like
Speaker:strip down and show somebody stuff
Speaker:so for me when we talk about it
Speaker:it's a I'm in a whole different category
Speaker:even with my friends
Speaker:I go doctor mode
Speaker:I'm professional
Speaker:I give them every single treatment that they need
Speaker:the best care possible
Speaker:and then we can go to yoga afterwards and it's fine
Speaker:and then I have other friends
Speaker:who are uncomfortable
Speaker:and I'll say
Speaker:you know what
Speaker:like find another doctor
Speaker:I'll refer you just for that part of the exam right
Speaker:because some don't want me to see it
Speaker:um but I think the important thing is like
Speaker:you have to find somebody who respects you
Speaker:I mean that's a
Speaker:it's a huge trust issue
Speaker:did someone that respects you when they
Speaker:so examining you yeah
Speaker:you're super vulnerable to not
Speaker:and I would never make fun of a patient
Speaker:when I'm like afterwards
Speaker:like for that exam
Speaker:like it's so much trust that they're giving to me
Speaker:to get naked
Speaker:and have me examine something that they would only show
Speaker:sometimes one of the
Speaker:sometimes never right
Speaker:no one's ever seen them before right
Speaker:so you have to treat it with sensitivity
Speaker:and you're right
Speaker:I've had doctors where they were very dismissive
Speaker:or they said something extremely scary
Speaker:and then went
Speaker:okay take care
Speaker:you know like
Speaker:where you have like some sort of scare or something
Speaker:and then yeah
Speaker:you know if I feel like you've always been
Speaker:get your your
Speaker:I know you're good at that
Speaker:without having seen you do it in person
Speaker:I know that you
Speaker:you're gonna deliver
Speaker:but I've had guys were
Speaker:he said that to me
Speaker:and then everything ended up being fine
Speaker:but like no
Speaker:whatever it's called
Speaker:like bedside man or empathy yeah
Speaker:I think what's really difficult to is
Speaker:you catch doctors on good days
Speaker:and bad days
Speaker:we're people too
Speaker:and I think people forget that
Speaker:like I can have a really shitty day
Speaker:where I haven't slept at all
Speaker:maybe I had a horrible call
Speaker:um I've pronounced patients that I've loved dead right
Speaker:like I've done CPR
Speaker:it hasn't worked
Speaker:it usually doesn't work
Speaker:thank you movies
Speaker:for fucking that over
Speaker:fuck you Grey's anatomy
Speaker:but the point is
Speaker:at the end of the day
Speaker:I have to keep doing my job
Speaker:and people expect me to be robotic
Speaker:and that's difficult
Speaker:and everyone has a hard job
Speaker:I'm not like some heroic person
Speaker:like I respect everyone under the sun
Speaker:I don't think I'm better than anyone
Speaker:I just mean
Speaker:a lot of people don't think of doctors as
Speaker:people who can fail
Speaker:or have personalities or have personal lives and we do
Speaker:so sometimes when you see us
Speaker:maybe we've just gotten really bad news
Speaker:maybe we just had a relationship
Speaker:that we were in fall apart
Speaker:and that happened to me
Speaker:maybe we've had something
Speaker:devastating happen with a patient
Speaker:and I just got off the phone
Speaker:telling them that they're not gonna
Speaker:survive another month
Speaker:and then I have to go to someone who's like
Speaker:I don't like the color of my hair
Speaker:how do I fix it
Speaker:and if we seem a little callous
Speaker:it's not that we're dismissive
Speaker:it's that we're dealing with really tough stuff
Speaker:but there's no way
Speaker:I would be like
Speaker:fuck you dude
Speaker:I don't give a shit about your concerns right
Speaker:I just told someone they were gonna die
Speaker:so it's challenging in my job
Speaker:because there's a balance
Speaker:but a lot of the times
Speaker:people also expect me to be
Speaker:superhuman hmm
Speaker:and I'm not
Speaker:I have a lot of faults
Speaker:never thought about that
Speaker:and um oh well
Speaker:I've got a lot of them
Speaker:this is a terrible analogy
Speaker:I want to ask
Speaker:also you said
Speaker:I'll give you the terrible analogy in a minute
Speaker:oh wonderful
Speaker:you said you said
Speaker:like fuck you
Speaker:Grey's anatomy oh oh oh
Speaker:so you're saying it's not
Speaker:realistic to expect just all good looking
Speaker:nurses and doctors to
Speaker:together all the time and still
Speaker:handle other tasks
Speaker:oh I love you
Speaker:and this is probably gonna bug you
Speaker:but I've definitely hooked up in a coffin before oh God
Speaker:so uncomfortable
Speaker:it was one time
Speaker:and I don't even wanna continue
Speaker:I feel fine
Speaker:it's not like that
Speaker:all that granted
Speaker:all of my scrubs
Speaker:I like are Grey's Anatomy scrubs
Speaker:in a what room
Speaker:you looked up
Speaker:in a what room
Speaker:a call room
Speaker:I don't know what that is uh
Speaker:so like a huge hospital
Speaker:like 20 stories tall
Speaker:you finish everything for the night
Speaker:nobody needs you
Speaker:you have a pager
Speaker:in case an emergency happens
Speaker:okay and then
Speaker:you very well could sleep for like
Speaker:eight hours
Speaker:or get paged every minute
Speaker:can I see a weird
Speaker:medical question
Speaker:sure what is it
Speaker:when you have like
Speaker:your stomach hurts and you
Speaker:your face is flushed
Speaker:is that always jealousy
Speaker:cause that's what I have
Speaker:those are the
Speaker:symptoms it's not
Speaker:I'm just kidding
Speaker:I waited to say that one
Speaker:it wasn't okay
Speaker:you know I don't need to know
Speaker:I didn't fully hook up
Speaker:how about that
Speaker:I just made out with somebody
Speaker:I just made out with somebody okay
Speaker:fully hook I was about to
Speaker:I was gonna ask what is hook up mean to people
Speaker:and I was literally afraid to ask but I love okay
Speaker:you didn't do you want to know the truth though
Speaker:not no sure
Speaker:I don't know
Speaker:it was like 15 10 years before I even met you calm down
Speaker:what is wrong with me
Speaker:so essentially
Speaker:do you know what it's called
Speaker:do you know why this doesn't happen
Speaker:because we're talking about Grey's anatomy
Speaker:we're not talking about what oh
Speaker:do you know what it's called
Speaker:when I if I were to actually get jealous of
Speaker:I'm not gonna lie
Speaker:I do get have an uncomfortable feeling
Speaker:and then my mind goes dude
Speaker:you're crazy
Speaker:that was a long time ago
Speaker:but there's like this primal brain that does the thing
Speaker:well you have a base of motor
Speaker:response and facial flushing
Speaker:essentially
Speaker:you're having more blood rush to your face
Speaker:you're upset yeah
Speaker:sorry it rushed to somewhere else
Speaker:which really made me think about what do I like
Speaker:what do I not like
Speaker:did rush to somewhere else or we no
Speaker:some people like that
Speaker:okay I don't
Speaker:it's called I
Speaker:I heard it called retroactive jealousy
Speaker:which is like some sort of weird jealousy that you get
Speaker:that had nothing to do with you
Speaker:that's irrelevant
Speaker:that happened before
Speaker:you're even a part of the person's life well
Speaker:I think that's fair though
Speaker:because it's difficult for a lot of people to
Speaker:picture their partner with someone else
Speaker:even though they're not cheating
Speaker:and having a long time ago
Speaker:you know that like your partner's not a virgin
Speaker:but you're like fuck
Speaker:I don't wanna ever think about you with someone else
Speaker:and that's a valid point um
Speaker:so when I fucked this guy
Speaker:just kidding so Jesus
Speaker:what's a full hook up if that's what you guys did
Speaker:no but this is what I'm trying to say
Speaker:so like you have all night long
Speaker:but you didn't
Speaker:there was a partial lock up
Speaker:we went into a call room where there's like bunk beds
Speaker:you tried to sleep and I made out with him
Speaker:my scrub stayed on okay
Speaker:and you're dating an innocent girl
Speaker:believe it or not
Speaker:I'm such a such a child
Speaker:my clothes stayed on his clothes stayed on
Speaker:but but oh yeah
Speaker:that one the fuck well
Speaker:I won't tell you the other story then
Speaker:so what's the other story
Speaker:I don't have one
Speaker:I just like messing with you God
Speaker:I hate Jesus
Speaker:but here's the reality
Speaker:could you prescribe me
Speaker:can we take a break
Speaker:you prescribe me Xanax when I know
Speaker:so when Xanax bad by the way
Speaker:we should revisit that yeah
Speaker:in a lot of cases God sorry
Speaker:why I don't like medical shows
Speaker:is because of so many inaccuracies that they portray
Speaker:this one for prime example
Speaker:I had all night long
Speaker:I'd finished everything
Speaker:every patient was taken care of like
Speaker:I would never leave a patient if they needed something
Speaker:like everything is checked right
Speaker:a million times
Speaker:doctors are like crazy crazy
Speaker:about like being overprotective with their patients
Speaker:it's my responsibility
Speaker:so I'm not gonna leave somebody
Speaker:but by the time like everyone are
Speaker:do you think all doctors are like overprotective
Speaker:pretty much
Speaker:like is that a
Speaker:I think so like
Speaker:did he wear two condoms
Speaker:oh wow I'm sorry
Speaker:that was you continue forced that in there
Speaker:so did he so that one hurt my feelings
Speaker:sometimes I start the joke and then all right
Speaker:so it so hoping it does actually happen
Speaker:it doesn't happen
Speaker:because I just made out with him and that was it
Speaker:and then I had this fear that a patient would need me
Speaker:and so did he
Speaker:and we're like we're done
Speaker:what are we doing
Speaker:thank god for that fear to hit both of you guys
Speaker:we made out for like two minutes and it was done
Speaker:because no one
Speaker:realistically has all night long to just hook up
Speaker:like you are like running labs and running
Speaker:codes and taking care of people
Speaker:and you know what's funny
Speaker:that whole night
Speaker:nothing happened
Speaker:I went back to my room
Speaker:and I sat there for like six hours
Speaker:and then so I came up
Speaker:my attendings came
Speaker:the other like doctors came and we rounded on patients
Speaker:and did everything that you would normally do right
Speaker:but what I don't like is they make it seem like
Speaker:everyone's hooking up and having sex with everybody
Speaker:we don't have time to do that
Speaker:we don't even have time to sleep right
Speaker:I that's so interesting
Speaker:I I've never seen Grey's Anatomy
Speaker:so I'm speaking just from like
Speaker:I actually haven't either
Speaker:promos and stuff really
Speaker:we just know from what we
Speaker:from like um
Speaker:clips that I've seen
Speaker:it irritated me that everyone was super attractive
Speaker:doctors don't look like fucking 10 models
Speaker:they don't right
Speaker:that's when you say but you do
Speaker:I was going to
Speaker:and then I'm like
Speaker:is that you didn't
Speaker:you missed it
Speaker:I just set you up
Speaker:and you're the most attractive doctor I've ever seen
Speaker:I just felt like
Speaker:cause you're my girlfriend
Speaker:but you didn't swing and miss
Speaker:you didn't even fucking swing at that okay
Speaker:that's cool
Speaker:so do you wanna hear the real call room story
Speaker:is there really one
Speaker:you can tell me if you want to no
Speaker:okay um this
Speaker:is for for my time
Speaker:I want I listen listen
Speaker:as far as jealousy goes
Speaker:I wanna say this for real
Speaker:there I think there are sometimes I get
Speaker:the difference in emotions and feelings is hard for me
Speaker:to um describe sometimes
Speaker:what did I do
Speaker:you just like
Speaker:bumping industry
Speaker:I'm gonna knock over this whole table
Speaker:I don't give a shit if he knocks it over
Speaker:it's just I think there's a difference between
Speaker:keep in mind
Speaker:I'm not I'm the dumbass
Speaker:you're not stop it
Speaker:I'm not gonna keep going
Speaker:if it bothers me
Speaker:if it if this
Speaker:I'm the person that's not formally educated
Speaker:medically trained yeah
Speaker:big difference than dumbass
Speaker:douchebag so
Speaker:here's what here's my
Speaker:here's what I
Speaker:it's debatable
Speaker:I believe that we have
Speaker:emotions and we have feelings and we have thoughts
Speaker:and I have trouble figuring out which one's which
Speaker:and I think sometimes
Speaker:for instance
Speaker:you say I know you're not a virgin
Speaker:you're an extremely attractive woman
Speaker:of course you have guys hit on you
Speaker:and of course
Speaker:you've had previous
Speaker:relationships
Speaker:and great sex and good times
Speaker:and there's been guys who all it's your
Speaker:I hope so if not
Speaker:who would I be dating if
Speaker:you've never had an experience like that
Speaker:so that's all kind of obvious and part of the game
Speaker:but I think there's
Speaker:I don't know if this happens in women
Speaker:there's a thing that will happen to me
Speaker:if you say oh yeah
Speaker:I was with this guy once in like
Speaker:he's kind of a douchebag and like
Speaker:he's got me out of his yacht
Speaker:and when his Ferrari
Speaker:I get my chest will tighten up for a second
Speaker:in a weird ego
Speaker:almost like a jealousy
Speaker:even if it was a current
Speaker:that that's
Speaker:more retroactive jealousy
Speaker:but if it was current like oh
Speaker:I ran into this guy and he's my friend
Speaker:and like oh
Speaker:he's really attractive
Speaker:there's like this weird thing you get
Speaker:but sometimes for me
Speaker:I can't control it so I'll go
Speaker:I saw what happened right there
Speaker:I'm I'm feeling jealous because
Speaker:I love this woman
Speaker:I I maybe I felt like a threat from my primal brain
Speaker:and then you move on with your life
Speaker:and I don't think we should
Speaker:we need to beat ourselves up over like
Speaker:that feeling
Speaker:I think it comes for me
Speaker:it's about how long
Speaker:does that feeling last
Speaker:what is the refractory period between like
Speaker:a weird reaction
Speaker:like even anger
Speaker:like I wanna
Speaker:like road rage
Speaker:it's okay to get super mad in the car
Speaker:just don't follow the guy and beat him up
Speaker:like I think it's okay to have that and you're
Speaker:I think we're all working on
Speaker:the period of time
Speaker:when the reaction happens to
Speaker:to to just the
Speaker:whatever action you take
Speaker:I think it's also um
Speaker:you have to put in perspective
Speaker:so like the story that I just
Speaker:told you was
Speaker:less than five minutes right
Speaker:and my medical training was
Speaker:eight years right
Speaker:in eight years
Speaker:I had five minutes
Speaker:right to kiss somebody
Speaker:but even so
Speaker:I'm insane for
Speaker:even having the
Speaker:that thought at all
Speaker:but it's yeah
Speaker:I understand that
Speaker:but I I think also like
Speaker:what if I told you like yeah
Speaker:that happened every day right
Speaker:that would be
Speaker:a little more problematic
Speaker:I would worry about the patients
Speaker:at that point
Speaker:so would I but the
Speaker:the story is like yes
Speaker:at one time
Speaker:I was like hey
Speaker:maybe I should see if Grey's anatomy is true oh
Speaker:nope it's not
Speaker:I got shit to do right
Speaker:that would not have even made it in the script
Speaker:you're you're
Speaker:there is not a great ending to your
Speaker:I don't think
Speaker:they would have
Speaker:picked up the series with that one
Speaker:so don't be jealous is my point yeah
Speaker:and I bet and you know
Speaker:that's easy to say that's not fair
Speaker:you can feel however you want to feel
Speaker:but my point is doctors in general are nerds
Speaker:we don't have social lives
Speaker:and we try to be cool and then we fail at it miserably
Speaker:I think you're pretty cool
Speaker:your friends are cool
Speaker:I met many of your doctor friends
Speaker:that's nice
Speaker:I like my friends
Speaker:I meant as a whole as a whole
Speaker:when you want a doctor who's nerdy oh yeah
Speaker:I actually get stuff on my social media about like
Speaker:if you're posting this
Speaker:why aren't you reading a book
Speaker:you should be having like
Speaker:you should be studying more
Speaker:you should be researching more
Speaker:I don't want a doctor who's fun and enjoys herself
Speaker:yeah and I think what people are missing is
Speaker:you also don't want a doctor who does nothing but study
Speaker:because those are the ones that usually burn out
Speaker:they're exhausted
Speaker:hmm they have no balance with their work life
Speaker:and honestly
Speaker:sometimes they're asked to make more poor decisions
Speaker:because they're so fatigued
Speaker:I want a doctor who's happy
Speaker:enjoys their life
Speaker:so when they come to work
Speaker:they are fucking on point
Speaker:and then when they leave
Speaker:they balance it out
Speaker:not they're so exhausted
Speaker:they come back to work the next day
Speaker:and they haven't even left the office and they're tired
Speaker:and they're not looking at their charts with fresh eyes
Speaker:right so I think you have to also
Speaker:and this is
Speaker:this goes for way more than just medicine
Speaker:but like everybody needs a balance right
Speaker:100% your job
Speaker:hundred percent
Speaker:you need a balance
Speaker:are you gonna be funny every day if you're exhausted
Speaker:yeah no not at all
Speaker:you're absolutely right
Speaker:you need those days off
Speaker:I've never felt less funny
Speaker:I don't wanna say what tour it was
Speaker:but you came on tour with me
Speaker:and when I started that tour
Speaker:it was my first
Speaker:one where I ever sold like a lot
Speaker:of shows in a row
Speaker:I sold out and like
Speaker:right at the beginning of it I was like
Speaker:this is the life
Speaker:like I have
Speaker:this what I've always wanted
Speaker:like so and by the end of the tour
Speaker:the the amount of energy required for me to be
Speaker:just to feel like I was funny at all
Speaker:if you're in the same
Speaker:fucking jokes every night
Speaker:come out of my mouth was
Speaker:it was really hard
Speaker:it was it was 12 days in a row
Speaker:and I remember thinking
Speaker:I don't wanna
Speaker:I don't think that he has too many
Speaker:I think it's got to be 10
Speaker:you gotta you gotta refill the well
Speaker:as they say creatively
Speaker:you gotta punch out
Speaker:I was impressed
Speaker:go to the beach
Speaker:I thought you were just as good day one as the last day
Speaker:I was there but um
Speaker:I could totally respect that and understand it
Speaker:yeah you get tired
Speaker:people get really fucking tired
Speaker:I I get scared
Speaker:here's what scares me
Speaker:Eric and I mean
Speaker:no offense by this
Speaker:oh great say
Speaker:I'm a comedian
Speaker:oh this is a
Speaker:fictitious story
Speaker:okay wonderful
Speaker:well I don't like them very much
Speaker:I know that about you
Speaker:I had to say that
Speaker:because people will think
Speaker:you're making a joke and you're
Speaker:you've never been a huge fan of comedy
Speaker:I haven't fascinating
Speaker:so I think you guys are mean
Speaker:what do you mean it
Speaker:you know it's
Speaker:we have to talk about this real quick but do you
Speaker:I think that's
Speaker:from the way comedians are portrayed on social media
Speaker:it's all crowd work
Speaker:it used to be
Speaker:we would just stand up there and deliver and act
Speaker:I'm not mean to people
Speaker:even when I mess with people
Speaker:I mean but on the internet
Speaker:I mean to doctors
Speaker:but guess how many views I've gotten online
Speaker:not very many
Speaker:nobody gives a shit
Speaker:when you're nice to a guy
Speaker:they wanna see
Speaker:like somebody
Speaker:destroying somebody
Speaker:yeah me and by the way
Speaker:me and Erica met
Speaker:because I kind of
Speaker:because I did a whole thing
Speaker:like a crowd work thing on doctors
Speaker:you know I was just thinking that
Speaker:and afterwards
Speaker:you came up and said
Speaker:I just insulted you
Speaker:I'm a doctor
Speaker:did you I did
Speaker:you know why
Speaker:I didn't notice
Speaker:cause it happened so often
Speaker:that's not fair
Speaker:I said I don't like comedians
Speaker:because they're mean
Speaker:but why did I come up and talk to you afterwards
Speaker:because you specifically
Speaker:made fun of doctors
Speaker:my kind of specialty by the way
Speaker:not just any doctor
Speaker:family medicine
Speaker:so you uh hmm
Speaker:but not in a
Speaker:but not in a
Speaker:but not in a cruel way
Speaker:you weren't nice
Speaker:but it I wasn't
Speaker:ha ha ha ha
Speaker:I don't remember what we said well
Speaker:I was afraid to go to a comedy show and get picked on
Speaker:and singled out
Speaker:that's what I
Speaker:think happens to people
Speaker:so you're right
Speaker:the crowd work is different
Speaker:here's my question
Speaker:okay you ready
Speaker:and I don't want you to
Speaker:I don't think I'll ever be ready
Speaker:but go for it okay
Speaker:so here's my question
Speaker:in all of our jobs
Speaker:we do get exhausted
Speaker:and some people think oh
Speaker:as a comedian
Speaker:you only have to perform like an hour a night
Speaker:sometimes what
Speaker:you know what
Speaker:it was like
Speaker:you must be fine
Speaker:but sometimes we've driven five hours that day
Speaker:sometimes I
Speaker:I have flown to a gig recently
Speaker:where I didn't have time to change
Speaker:I went right to the gig with a hat on
Speaker:and did not change it to go right on stage um
Speaker:last weekend
Speaker:I drove to show that had already begun
Speaker:and I went went up um
Speaker:so there is exhaustion
Speaker:now as a comedian
Speaker:the I thought
Speaker:my last show
Speaker:I felt like I put it together
Speaker:and I don't know if anyone would have noticed
Speaker:but if I'm really tired
Speaker:the worst thing that could possibly happen
Speaker:I would think would be
Speaker:I forget a joke
Speaker:I don't put as much energy into a bit
Speaker:and they go oh
Speaker:that's pretty good
Speaker:but like like
Speaker:what I'm saying
Speaker:see the worst case scenario
Speaker:I'm exhausted
Speaker:I fall asleep for a second
Speaker:in some insane scenario
Speaker:there's just a moment
Speaker:where there's no
Speaker:where there's no dick jokes being told
Speaker:no one's harmed or hurt
Speaker:or whatever
Speaker:which leads me to my question
Speaker:which is you
Speaker:you DOC doctors
Speaker:depending on the specialty
Speaker:our work is
Speaker:and especially in residency
Speaker:I think are so
Speaker:were are so exhausted
Speaker:at all times
Speaker:and I would think
Speaker:mistakes might happen
Speaker:maybe there's something you can't even talk about
Speaker:but like have you ever been
Speaker:what's the most tired
Speaker:you've ever been
Speaker:like well seeing a patient or yeah
Speaker:if you don't mind saying
Speaker:yeah yeah so um
Speaker:they have duty
Speaker:restriction hours now
Speaker:so essentially
Speaker:um this organization
Speaker:came together for that exact
Speaker:reason and said
Speaker:you know what
Speaker:they're working too hard
Speaker:they're gonna make errors
Speaker:they have to sleep
Speaker:so I don't even know what it is now
Speaker:I wanna say
Speaker:like 16 hours
Speaker:don't quote me on that
Speaker:cause I don't know
Speaker:I haven't been residency recently
Speaker:but after so long
Speaker:you have to go home
Speaker:which is kind of crazy
Speaker:that's so a lot
Speaker:with me um 16 yeah
Speaker:that's still a lot
Speaker:you in one day
Speaker:but you can still work um
Speaker:I think it's
Speaker:like for me
Speaker:it was different um
Speaker:the longest I ever worked
Speaker:straight without sleeping
Speaker:was 32 hours
Speaker:shit and um
Speaker:the worst rotation I ever had in 30 days
Speaker:I had two days off
Speaker:damn so we were getting there at 4:00am and leaving
Speaker:between 7 and nine PM and you don't report it
Speaker:cause then they get in trouble it's
Speaker:it's a long thing
Speaker:but you're you're shamed into you're too tired
Speaker:you can't do your job
Speaker:everyone else does it
Speaker:people are gonna die if you fuck up
Speaker:so don't fuck up
Speaker:but what they don't realize is you're exhausted yeah
Speaker:you're in a close call well yeah
Speaker:oh yeah yeah
Speaker:I've made mistakes
Speaker:all of us have you ever almost just not off
Speaker:you're talking to a patient
Speaker:and they're telling you something
Speaker:and you almost just close your eyes
Speaker:I've fallen asleep
Speaker:you know this story
Speaker:I fall asleep in the or
Speaker:I was the first to say oh
Speaker:that's right
Speaker:yeah yeah yeah
Speaker:and that's the hard thing
Speaker:I was I had to wake up at 3:30
Speaker:I was going home at ten PM
Speaker:for a surgical rotation for a month
Speaker:and I was the first assist
Speaker:meaning the first person after the main doctor
Speaker:and this person was cut open from sternum to pubic bone
Speaker:essentially
Speaker:got it open
Speaker:and my job was to hold a retractor
Speaker:so this is like the big tongue kind of things to hold
Speaker:the body cavity open so the surgeon
Speaker:can cut without everything closing up again
Speaker:but that's a lot of force
Speaker:so I was standing there
Speaker:you were the retractor yeah
Speaker:you had the retractor
Speaker:you were in charge of that
Speaker:that's I didn't know that part
Speaker:okay oh yeah
Speaker:so I got to help cut open everything
Speaker:as the first is this
Speaker:I get to do
Speaker:I like how you say
Speaker:got to like
Speaker:that's the doctor
Speaker:I loved it yeah
Speaker:I love and wasn't it also
Speaker:I still love my job
Speaker:wasn't it also an opportunity
Speaker:almost like a
Speaker:he chose you to do that as someone sometimes
Speaker:sometimes you're assigned or like the other doctors
Speaker:like drop off and like
Speaker:you're the only one
Speaker:like one time the assistant
Speaker:like the other doctor was gone
Speaker:and I got to break a nose
Speaker:and they never let you do that from the beginning
Speaker:I got to fucking smack the shit out of it
Speaker:wow cosmetically
Speaker:it was so cool but anyway
Speaker:I digress so yeah
Speaker:I'm like retracting this person open
Speaker:hadn't slept
Speaker:probably in a couple of days
Speaker:um only because at the end of it
Speaker:you have to like take tests
Speaker:so I would study after a 15
Speaker:20 hour work day
Speaker:it was it was crazy
Speaker:so I'd stay in the car room
Speaker:I'd study I'd go home for a couple hours sleep
Speaker:and then shower and come back
Speaker:so I was standing up and I
Speaker:I fell asleep standing up holding these retractors
Speaker:wow and they closed up
Speaker:and the surgeon slapped my hand
Speaker:and he's like
Speaker:what did you
Speaker:and I'm like
Speaker:oh you just like
Speaker:he did this surgery and you're doing this
Speaker:and he's like
Speaker:oh very good
Speaker:didn't catch me
Speaker:but that's not bragging rights
Speaker:I I kind of want it like no
Speaker:I I have a necessity to invoke
Speaker:restrictions on how
Speaker:much you work because of how dangerous it is
Speaker:yeah and again
Speaker:I'm a person I'm not AI
Speaker:I fuck up all the time
Speaker:and then you take sleep out of the equation yeah
Speaker:into the equation
Speaker:depending on how you're looking at it
Speaker:and I'm deprived of reparative
Speaker:regenerative sleep
Speaker:I'm gonna fuck up even more yeah
Speaker:isn't it true that if you don't sleep for
Speaker:isn't it like if you pull an all nighter
Speaker:you can't just go to sleep more tomorrow
Speaker:you're messed up
Speaker:isn't it like you're almost drunk or something
Speaker:yeah that's the time I told you
Speaker:when I was driving to the hospital
Speaker:and I fell asleep with the wheel
Speaker:the only time I've ever had yeah
Speaker:something dangerous with driving
Speaker:I was absolutely sober
Speaker:but I was going to the hospital
Speaker:it was like 4:30 in the morning
Speaker:pitch black
Speaker:and I fell asleep at the wheel
Speaker:and I went over an embankment
Speaker:in the hospital and got stuck
Speaker:in the grass in this like 20 story hospital
Speaker:and woke up
Speaker:instead of being like
Speaker:oh I should probably like fix my car or call
Speaker:maintenance or something
Speaker:I just drove into the hospital
Speaker:parking lot and did my shift
Speaker:it's quite insane and I can't imagine it
Speaker:would you mind taking a question
Speaker:so uh here on
Speaker:afraid to ask
Speaker:you have a question coming in from
Speaker:this is from Jamie from Fairbanks
Speaker:Alaska oh my god
Speaker:coming up on the next
Speaker:episode of afraid to ask
Speaker:and this is a common
Speaker:fear in men
Speaker:I am telling you
Speaker:I have heard more men
Speaker:talk about this than any other kind of condition
Speaker:it is uh it's having to pee all the time
Speaker:oh how many times a day do you think you should pee
Speaker:you said that sometimes a doctor can be um
Speaker:tired or you know
Speaker:or wide awake or depending on their schedule
Speaker:that I know people say like oh
Speaker:buy a car on a Friday
Speaker:because they're trying to get new in
Speaker:but I don't know
Speaker:they say these things
Speaker:is there a certain day I would want to go
Speaker:I would if I had a big surgery
Speaker:I want to go see the doctor
