love a good podcast or this is the worst podcast ever,
then we'll use that. You listen to it, listen to
what would you talk about on your on your podcast? Firm?
It's just it's you know, I think me redo it
all in favor of redoing the intro. All opposed me,

(00:46):
all right, Daniel, because I think that people are used
to it now and that's what they expect when they
listen to the five. That's the signature, cell Ye, is
that the speaking of Froggy is actually going to see

(01:06):
the prom, which that is where it's a good common town.
So tomorrow's Tuesday, so he at least are going tomorrow,
And I cannot wait because this is the perfect show
for Froggy. He's going to love he's gonna love it.
He's gonna love it the prom Go see it on Broadway.
It's so good. You gotta give some at any time
I think about anything, I'm like add some sass uh,

(01:30):
straighten it. You see them very pensive today? What is
what is on your mind? Like? What? Nothing? Who are
you mad at today? Nobody? I don't think he's mad
at anyone. But you do have something weighing heavily on
your mind and then your heart. Would you like to
tell it? Did a body resurface? No? I have a
doctor's appointment later. But okay, Arena adds at the appointment

(01:55):
is going to try to fix your jazz hands? You
know what. Yeah, it's a chronic condition. Fete nervous, you know,
and people get very nervous about going to the doctor
because they're afraid they're going to find out what they
need to find out about. That's no, you don't need
to be you should not do you know my motto.
You shouldn't be on something. You should be ahead of something.
You need to be You need to anticipate problems. But

(02:18):
what I'll tell you, when I went to the hospital
two weeks ago or whatever, they took a lot of
blood and the hospital was packed. So they were telling
people you're gonna have to wait like four hours to
be seen. So I'm sitting there and one of the
doctors comes out and just sees me and says, hey,
you come here, And I was like what, She didn't
know who I was. She's like, can I talk to

(02:40):
you in the other room. So right away I'm like,
oh my gosh, the blood work came back. I'm dying,
Like you know, that's what she wants. She just said,
oh no, no, no, She goes, there's just so many people.
I just came on shift, so I'm just grabbing people.
She I don't even know what you're here. Give me
a heart. Let's say, God forbid, you had something crawling

(03:01):
around in your veins that you needed to be checked.
Don't you want to know about it? Okay? Well, see
scary you say yes. But then you're you're saying you
avoid doctors at all costs. You make no sense. My
mother's just yesterday she called me. She goes, hey, you
remember our distant cousin butchie, yeah, he was feeling upset stomach.
He took a gas X and then he passed out
and he died of a massive heart attack. And then
it switched the conversation over to you know, I've been

(03:22):
telling you me and your father have been telling you
for years, you gotta get checked. You gotta make sure
everything's in order, because scary. How often do you have
a checkout, like three or four years ago? I would?
I go every single year? When the last time? Oh
my god? You know we get a discount, right if
we get a medical exam, you get a discount your insurance. Yeah,

(03:42):
Gandhi do you go every year? I do? Yeah, every
single year. Yeah. I mean. I have a lot of
medical professionals in my family, and it's funny because we
were talking about red flags and relationships and they all said,
if someone doesn't go to the doctor, I won't date them.
It's like, really, I get that you need to go
to the doctor, Brody, last time you had your check
up a month and a half ago. Twice a year,
like clockwork, twice a year, okay, twice here, I'm coming

(04:05):
for it. Okay, absolutely dessert? Uh, great tea? I know
you don't go at all. No, I just text my doctor,
just something wrong, and he'll just, you know, drop me
a prescription. Nothing to happen. That one time you had
the stomach problem. I didn't know why it was allergic
to sulfurd. I didn't know. That's why I was in

(04:26):
the hospital. Greg greg Gregory Gregg. I want you to
start going to yearly checkups. You're at an age where
you should be doing it. How old you? No, you're
I think it's time. It's time. Can you just start
getting your anal problem was going to the doctor is

(04:46):
that you always want to shut their finger everything they
common quit smoking. No, you're you're living, everything's fine, You're happy,
having fun, texting your friends, and all of a sudden
you go to the doctor and then you find something
wrong with you, and then you're on this like highway
to hell somewhere and don't want to be there. No,
but keep in mind, if they find something, they could
get rid of it early. If you if you, if
you let it grow, then it may be too late.

(05:07):
That's one way to look at that's the that's that's
the way to You don't get a hard condition from
the appointment. It's like get cured from the appointance. It's
like the optimist. You know, some people see the glass
half empty, some people see it half full. You know.
So you're saying, disease will not exist until you go
and they look for it. So many things don't exist
until they look for it and they find that makes

(05:28):
no sense. But there's so many things like in life
in general, like if I steal something from you, you know,
like everything's fine unless I tell you, if I tell
you that I've took it from you. Not how your health?
What's that, Daniel? I was thinking about what's scary about
the stomach ache? My friend the same thing happened, massive
stomach ache. Thought it was upset stomach, want it being
a massive heart attack. And she's in the hospital now,

(05:51):
still um and they don't know, you know, exactly what cousin.
My cousin thought he had pneumonia, went to the hospital
he had had a heart attack. By why had problem
with the indigestion and gas. Turns out she was eight
months pregnant. You gotta check these things. I'll tell you legitimately.
I do get and I'm not even kidding. It's not

(06:12):
just for the podcast, legitimately, And I haven't told anybody why.
I get heart fluttering quite often, you know. But the
thing is, though, if you have a heart problem in
the family, which I do, then I should really get
a checked out. I just don't have time right now.
Like things you want toists. But you know what's gonna happen.

(06:34):
I mean there's Dr Tazi. You know what's gonna happen.
They hook you up these monitors you got carried around
with you like next four days, like a monitor heartbeat.
I just don't have that time. You're not gonna time. Okay, well,
but you're not gonna have any time because you're gonna die.
That's one way to look at it, as the optimists.
Why a look a simple things in life so difficult
for you, grant take, I just don't have the time.

(06:56):
I'm too busy because you're vaping at your uncle Ted show.
What if? What if? What's going on with you now
can be helped? And if you wait longer, it can't
be helped. Like right now, these three fingers right here,
I have complete numbness in my in my three tips
on your left hand, Yes, alright, that could be something
bigger all the time and my thumb is that all

(07:18):
the time? Well, it's because I've been doing some some work,
is what I'm thinking. You've been masturbating. Well I used
this hand, not this one, so anyway, okaya, hold this
is what you numbness in your fingers? Could it could
be nothing of any important, But isn't it Isn't it

(07:40):
nice to know that? Though? That's my point, big Danga fever,
you don't know. I rather think that it's just because
I'm doing construction right now in the house, and that's
why I'm getting this. You know, like carpal tunnel. You know,
you know that that part of your body is connected
to your spine, your heart. I do have a compressed
C four C five discs in my neck, and I
feel like I could be a problem as well, but

(08:01):
I really don't want to know about that right now. Okay,
you have time holidays, Okay, calm down. You're making me nervous.
You're sending this to your wife. What are you saying
to his wife? He is having heart flutters and numbness
in his fingers and he refuses to go to the doctor.
Here we go. Web MD says, you might have endometriosis.
What is that? You don't want it? What is it?

(08:25):
You don't want it? If you had it would be um.
You should see a doctor. What is andrew detriosis? You
should look that up. A lady problem. I think I just,
for the life of me, I don't I just don't
understand it. I don't understand people who don't want to
go get checked out. And you catch it, you can

(08:47):
cure it. But if you don't, you can't. You find
a lump on your breast, then you know, I have
friends who have ignored it and by the time they decided, oh,
you know, maybe i'll go now it was stage four
breast cancer and she didn't make it. So you you
that's nothing to joke about. But you don't ignore those things.
You go to find out what's wrong so they can
fix you. And I really, I'm gonna have a lot

(09:08):
more time, Like in January February, there's nothing going on.
What if you're dead by January Febuary, I'm sure I'll
make it another couple. By the way, this this is
a downer podcast. Well, but this thing is is that,
I mean, it's real. I think that's sad. But people
have to have that time to go to the doctor.
Like right now, it's not time. How many things do
you have on your plate right now because it's it's
the end of the year. You have holiday shopping, decorating,

(09:30):
friends to see, dinner plans, you know what else I have?
Who's got time? I have my yearly check out. Now,
I will say something. If you go now, you've probably
already reach your deductible for something. If you go in January,
you have a brand new deductible. That's what he is
doing with his life right now. He said, he reads

(09:50):
the so so you truly know our right you literal
at lea said, i' kidding, dude, I just got a
PAP to me. I was free. Yeah, he want all
bring it anything. He's like, m R. I like, how

(10:10):
much for the finger Tickle's free? You say, he's great.
I reached my deductible. He reached my prostate the prostate exam.
I enjoy it. It doesn't bother me at all. It's
it's a gateway example because what is that what your
fingers are? Number? One time? Can I just be honest.
The one time I had it done, I didn't know

(10:31):
his fingers in there. Wow, like you're loosened up? He was.
He was good. I'm like, look that's what I said.
I will go did you do it? And he goes, yeah,
I did it. I didn't feel anything. It was straight
because both of his hands are on your shoulders. If
I hadn't had an easy pass. But I'll drive through there.
You probably could well. Look. You know, sometimes the as

(10:51):
lets you right in life is called let's talk. Can
you hear it? Speak speaker you guys here? Yes? So
your your husband says he's been having flutters in his
heart and numbness in his fingers for a while now
when he's doing nothing about it. Um, do you want
to just call him an ambulance? Yeah? Right, we're on

(11:12):
the podcast. Get some life insurance on him, Trish, what
do we do? This could be the best day, but
no one cares. This is why no one care. You're
an idiot because you don't take care of you. If
she was serious, she would not have started with a joke.
She would have started with he said it's the best

(11:32):
day because she knows. Now we've brought it to your attention.
But I did call him concern and then you refused
to go. So what am I supposed to do? It
could be the day my prayers get answered. I just
don't have I don't have the he needs, Trish. He
needs to go get a we all need to check
up everyone, and I keep telling him to go. He
says he's gonna wait till January. Why why is waiting
