It's men's health week here in New Zealand so this week we are having a frank discussion about how we look after ourselves as dads, and what we could do better. Do we go to the doctor enough, and why are we so weird about anything to do with butts??
It's a fairly honest and revealing chat - hopefully it's not TMI...

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hi, everybody, Welcome to a brand new episode of The
Parenting Hangover and Men's Health Week.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Look At Men's Health Week, Look at Us, Topical, Topical,
Topical Health, Hangover, Topical Healthy.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We're going to discuss our health in general and our
health journey to date and kind of try and destigmatize
a little bit of this stuff, because even though it's
twenty twenty four and we're all open minded, girl, dad,
you know, healthy, whatever, its still a bit weird to
talk about some of the stuff. But it shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, Clint, we've just recorded the episode. Clint chears something right.
He may have made a doctor do something that that
doctor didn't want to do, but it's all in the
name of health progression. We went into this episode kind
of going in for a bit of a laugh, and
it's actually been really helpful to both of us. You've
given me some great advice and where we should be
(00:54):
going as whatever age you are. Again, we remember the
people that watched Clint DJ and they're like eighteen year
old girls who's randomly watched this. But if you're like
us and you're in that kind of middle aged thirties, forties, fifties,
you got kids.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Even DJs need their prostates examined.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I don't. I don't know. Yep. Listen. Now here's the
episode here.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It comes back from the New Zealand Radio and Podcast Awards.
It is the award nominated Parenting Hangover Keyword nominated.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We didn't We didn't win it, guys, but it was
a fantastic night out. It was good to rub shoulders
with other radio New Zealand celebrities. Clinton had to hold
my hand during the night because basically, I'm just there
on my own. He's there with a posse of his
radio show that he has. So they were up for awards. Yeah,
we didn't win.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I think I like to think we came second. There's
no way to know, but my.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Kids asked that my kids are the exact same thing, like,
did you come second? I was like, it's hard to know.
Yeah we did. Yep, we got second.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yep. We were in the middles. Either way, we were
either sickond or third. They just don't tell you. But
the night was a lot of fun. Geez, you got
a lot of compliments on your outfit. I don't mean
to keep going about the outfit, but you.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, the outfit that just keeps on giving yep. I
looked sharp and I ended up getting comfortable in it.
I even just like forgot that I was wearing slick clothes. Yeah,
and so I saw like dudes checking me out. I
was like, bro, are you chicking out my darkest kid.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Although we did have to make that pet stop at
about seven thirty so you could go get some plasters
because you were getting ouchytes.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I bought a backup a whole pack of plasters at
like seven thirty pm, and then thought, I only need one.
I don't want all the shrubbish, so I left it
with the man at the shop and then thought, now
I'll put all these spear plasters in my pocket because
there's going to be so many people with sore feet tonight,
ladies wearing heels. But then I just looked like a
weirdo because I kept doing it as like a half
drunk joke, like someone come to talk to you, like,
(02:55):
by the way, do you guys need a plaster? And
they kind of laughed weirdly and then just walked away.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
They were quite big glasses too, and they were a
massive It kind of looked like you were offering girls
like a cemetery. Pad Oh, is.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That why people will hear? That makes way more sense now. Look,
we both had some dad beers. I think we both
left it around midnight one am. That's pretty late for
late for dads. And I felt it. Man, you're at
the age now. I don't think it gets any better.
I wonder if there is a moment in your life
where it does start to get better the next day,
Like you can drink and wake up and you feel great.
(03:28):
But I don't do it as often as I did
when I was younger, and now it just everyone can
relate to this. You just are a piece of pooh.
The next day. You try to do everything you can.
My fault is that I just try to eat through it.
I think that I'm going.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To come up everything.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, you think that one of these meals is going
to fix it, and you just end up feeling worse.
And so I had a very quiet day. No I
woke up, so I got I remember going to be
at like one am. I woke up to a seven
thirty am tech Simon Aucklord. My wife's home in Totonga
had a tummy bug going through the household. I wake
up from a text from my wife. I'm pooling and
(04:04):
spewing at seven thirty am, and I'm like, okay, hopping
in the car now. I had a shower and jumped
in the car like I was going to slowly make
my way home.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You should have replied, thanks for the heads up. I'll
book an extra night at the hotel just to make
sure you're quarantined for twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know what she wanted
from that, Like I, so I just said I'm coming home. Yeah,
because this couple of the kids, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I would react the same way. I'd be like, well
she needs hands on dick.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yes. And then I tried to fight the bug, not
the hangover. I'd never won against that. So I went
home and I was like, I'm not going to get
this bug. You've all had it. I've googled it. The
only way I can catch this is if you guys
haven't washed your hands, or a bit of your spew
gets in my mouth or something like that. But I'm
not going to get this tummy bug because I'm a
grown adult and I don't put my hands in my mouth.
I got it. I got it. I got it like
(04:56):
two days later, not as bad as everyone else. I
was walking around the house trying to staunched it off,
like my gut was just the knots, and JODI's looking
at me and I'm I don't have it on fine,
I don't have it, and she goes, you are green, Oh,
I don't have it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
This is probably an old wife's tale, but my friend
Sharon Casey swears by because she has toddlers as well.
She swears by a shot of tequila in the morning,
if you have it, if you have if there's a
bug going around, if one of your kids comes home
with a bug, a shot of tequila, and she reckons
that will kill the bacteria in your stomach.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
How are the kids though? Like wasted boy, chat boots,
dad's got boo?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
How's the kids other than tummy bugs?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
The kids are tummy bugs. Has really been the focus
of the household. And it's been really funny just seeing
your kids. And we've talked about this before, but your
kids are all so different. You're never going to be
this parent who can go look at this breed of
litter of kids I have, and how perfect they all are,
and look they all tie their shoelaces the same. They
all listen as soon as I asked them to do.
They're all different and so on. All of them, like
(06:08):
a couple of them with the spewing and the pillen
absolutely fine, little troop like troopers. One of them begin
to the age. Now I can't name them because if
one of their mates here has listen, parents listen, they're
going to be real annoyed at me. But one of
them is just like it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Was any problem naming Jody when the podcast like I'm
shooting my pants.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
She's fine, she's fine. But one of them is just
acts like the world is over and the world has
ended because your belly has only just started to get
a little bit sore, and where the others are like,
oh up, walk themselves to the bathroom and then come
back watch TV. What a legend. I was the kid who,
like a lot of us, would weirdly run to the
(06:47):
parent to tell them and then spew down the hallway
as why kids do way around it?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, go do this.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Didn't come and tell me everything's on the up right now?
Though they're they're all back to school. There's lots on
a lot of different things, but school discos where so
many sports now, but they're not all doing a lot
of sports, but because they're at the age where everyone's
doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Who's the DJ for your school discos?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Not you? You were too expensive.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Thought it might be you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, No, it's just a it's just a iPod that's playing,
I'm guessing, and a teacher.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Okay, hit and play really but.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, busy time, lots on and basically spubag has blurred
the last week. But now we're choker. We're choker with
lots how's your household mate.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Gird It's the main focus in our house is fifth birthday,
which is about four weeks away.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh, that's one of the big ones.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's one of the big ones. So organized tequila out
of the party, get the tequila out. And the other
focus is big girl bed. So Maggie the three year
old is about to go into a big girl bed
and that's her primary focus at the moment. We've had
a real rough run of her not sleeping through the night.
So Lucy has turned her big girl bed into a bribe.
She's like, you show me that you can, because she
(07:59):
should be in the bed now she's three and a half.
She's like, you show me that you can sleep all
night and we will get it for you. And that's
a real carrot.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So now we're bid shopping. We're looking at all these
different things. Man, bids are expensive. I'm doing the dad
thing where I'm saying to loose, hey, there's some pretty
good second hand bids on trade meet. You know, we
could get her a fresh, fresh mattress. But these frames.
This is this twenty year old wooden bid frame looks
really solid. And I showed it to Lucy last started.
She goes, eh, yuck, she's a little girl. She needs
(08:29):
a pretty bed. I'm like, what or does she need
this forty five dollar bed that's in gray Linn that
I can get tomorrow. That looks like it would stand
up to an earthquake.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And I'll stand it and I'll paint it.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'll do that, babe, I'll make it pretty.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
She knows you won't. She knows you won't. But that's
a great bribe. That's the times where you can bribe
your kids. Yeah, without being judged. That's a perfect bribe.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, and it's working. So today we're going to talk
about men's health because it's Men's Health.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Week, Men's Health Week, and here we are being a
topical podcast. Yeah, okay, because of the week, this will
come out right.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
We might not remember Mother's Day, but we remember Men's
Health Week.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We remember Men's Health Week. And look, the hangover wasn't
a lead into it that that was a part of
men's health. We are men who struggled with health on
the Sunday or Saturday after that we were unhealthy men.
But in men's health. We thought it'd be funny to
look back on any health checkups we've had that might
have a funny story attached. Yeah, and kind of chat
(09:24):
about where we are meant to be going. What are
we like as mid thirty year old dad's what are
we meant to be doing to be the fittest we
can be?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah. I thought a few years ago that I should
get ahead of the curve with this, and I had
a friend. The reason I did, actually is I had
a friend who he was like thirty, must have been
like thirty three, and he found a lump on one
of his nuts and he went in and they said, yep,
that'll be cancerrous. So they just whipped the nut out,
and I was like, whoa thirty that can happen at
(09:52):
thirty three, and that kind of scared me into going
because I was like thirty two, and I was like,
I should really, so I booked the with my GP.
I went in. I saw my GP and I said, hey,
I want to be I want to be proactive about this.
My mates just lost a nut. Can I get checked out?
And the no shit, the GP. It was a guy
and he looked at me and he goes, oh, if
(10:15):
you want, and I went I said sorry. I said, wait,
I'm doing the right thing here by all accounts, I'm
doing the right thing and you you you saying you're hesitant.
He goes, well, we wouldn't usually chick you until you're forty,
but yeah, I mean if you want.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I hop up on the bed and then I was like,
what's weird now?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And it's weird.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's so weird now. But and I had this moment.
I was like, well, the doctor's weird about it. Should
I just not do it? I was like, and then
I'm here to went no, you did it. Pull your
pants down and get on that bed. So I did,
and he fondled around my balls and then he goes
to me with the same tone of voice, he went,
you're fine and I said, this is what I wanted
(10:55):
to hear.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Is this the part of the story. We also left
out the bit where you arrived straight after the gym
and you just run tin k and you were in
a sweety singler in sweety shorts and he was like, yeah,
I suppose I could do it.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
But no, I had freshly washed, unshaven balls.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And freshly washed unshaven balls. Okay, yeah, good on you, though,
I thought so for proactively getting in there, because yeah,
you'll hear something, or you'll see an ad or something
will be about testicular cancer or men's health. And then
that night in the shower you kind of do feel
your own balls. Problem balls aren't if you don't have them.
(11:32):
They're not round and smooth anyway, and a regular time,
so can you do freak out? It can get confusing
because you're like, maybe one of them might be, but
then the other one's like what's And then what's that
little bit hanging about? And then you google some things
and you realize, oh, yeah, well there's all the pipes
in there that are connecting the nuts and they're kind
of dangling about in the sec What a weird place
to put testicles? Just putting it out there though. The
(11:54):
things you know, apparently they're there for heat because they
need to be outside of the body. Surely our body,
over all these years that it's evolved into amazing things,
could have put the nuts and made some other way
to keep them cool and actually put them inside of
our body so they are never any issue. The one
thing that can floor a man and split second, it's
just sitting there between our legs. Yeah, makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah. I listened to a podcast with Dihinwood the other week,
who has been speaking of mentality, is a huge advocate
for it now and he's a guest coming up on
our podcast. We've just started to lock in the details
for that, and he was talking about his chemotherapy at
the moment, about how if you have testicular cancer, the
chemotherapy can't reach your testicles because they are separate from
(12:39):
your body. They have their own ecosystem, and if you're
having a treatment, it can't get to the testicles because
your body goes ah, that's those are the livestones that's
got the that's got half the DNA of a human
being in there. It can't get affected. So they are
this weird chamber of secrets that just dangle down there
below your legs.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And an ecosystem. I'd hate to think what's growing down
in someone's ecosystem of testicles.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But so taboo, and they're so yuck and ugly as well.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
They are, they're just a weird thing. And here here
we've been designed that. Here they are loud and proud
right there, the wrinkly old man's neck skin, yes, is
down and I'm only you know, the age of fourteen.
They look like old man's wrinkly nick skin. Like there's
no time where they weren't ugly.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, it's just turkey neck hanging between your legs, which
means they are rife for neglect because they're over sensitive,
they're taboo, and they're ugly. It's the holy trinity of
don't touch them, don't talk about them, which is the problem,
and not to keep going on about die because he
will talk a lot about this when we talk to him.
But that's the problem with rectal cancer as well and
(13:46):
bow count cancer is it's in a yuck quote unquote
yuck gross area that people don't like to talk about,
so they don't pay any attention to it.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And I tried, I tried to, you know, flip right
around and look at my butt, hold it see, but
you end up falling over in the shower and one
of the kids walk in and you're like, I'm fine,
and you got to try it up heart. Oh yeah,
it's very hard to look and to do a self
examination on your buttthole, like visually, yeah, to see how
things are.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I had a chat. I'm in a group chat with
some mates from high school and we're all thus same age,
we're all approaching forty and just yesterday, before you even
suggested the topic of this podcast, a message went around
from one of the boys who has just had the
camera up the butt to check that stuff out. Yeah,
and he said it's his second camera up the butt.
And then I was quite proud of our group because
(14:37):
the conversation moved to did you ask did you proactively
ask for the camera up the butt? Or did the
doctor was there symptoms like blood or something like that
That meant that you had to ask for the camera
up the butt and he had had mild symptoms. But
then we all started talking about without any like prejudice
or judgment or anything, and just going well, should we
be going in and asking for the camera up the butt.
(15:02):
We and it's that weird light if you don't want
to sound too keen for a camera up the butt.
But we're like, should we be going and asking for
it at thirty seven?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, because I know there's the age we're not there
yet where they'll do our prostate, which is the old
doctor's finger up the butt. Yes, but to beginning a
camera up there, I feel like you'd need signs first,
or symptoms. I don't feel like we needed to be
walking in there and saying hey, I would love to
be like, tick me off now at thirty eight? Can
I get the camera up the butt?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Plan I bought? I bought my GoPro and a flexi pole.
Can I get the camera up the butt?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I want? Can I please get the sixteen inch camera
camera inspection camera to go up my butt hole? Please
and just check some things out. I don't want to
be putting my hand up for that, like I.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Don't know unless you don't want to, but should we?
Because I don't want to be in a position where
someone that someone like die is in. Who's a young
dad who was misdiagnosed a few times and could have
probably caught things earlier, and you know it's still been
around for his kids for longer. We don't know how
(16:04):
long I will be around. He could go for ages
and he has talked about that too, but you know,
you just don't want to be in that position. So
should we be asking?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But I get you with the guy who heard the
direction about getting your nuts tested. I also feel like
I always feel that when I go to the doctors,
Like sometimes I'll go in and I've put something off
and then I've got something else fleair up. So I'm like,
I'll go into the doctor and I'll ask about that
second thing while I'm there. While I'm there, but they
make it almost like that isn't an option. You get
so awkward towards the end, like they're like trying to
get you out the door. Yeah, and you know they're
(16:35):
up against it. You know, there's a whole waiting room.
And there were times when I'm just like, oh, I'll
just I won't bring that up. I'll just leaving. And
so sometimes it's proactive stuff. I don't know if doctors
are open arms and like yeah, because sorry, eight years
ago I've been and it had bloods done, and because
Jodie had just been found to have real low iron
and I'm like, shit, I get pretty zonked out. Maybe
I'll go get I see can I please have all
(16:56):
my bloods done? And it was a similar thing as
like why you're thirty, Like why do you want all
your blood stuns? Like just to know how I am,
and like I might have a weird thing where I'm
lacking zisprey and I need more zisprey in my blood.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Like the key with bread.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And then she did them, and I like I wanted
the results sent to me so I could have a
look as well. I know I'm not a doctor, but
all it was was like a text message from the
doctor three weeks later, your bloods are fine. Yeah, I'm
like I kind of want more than that, or can
I see them?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Or yeah, don't or you don't get a text at all.
They're like, we'll just text you if there's something wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But again, I don't know in a
heartbeat if there was a thing at the doctor's where
you went and you got scanned, or it's one blood
sample to check you for all cancers. But I don't
think it works like that. If I did one hundred percent,
i'd go in and be like, can I please have
the cancer check? Cool bush boom cancer check? Lets you know. Yeah,
but I don't think it's that easy. I'm not sure
(17:49):
you make sense that we should be practically doing it.
I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
There's a website, if it's welcomed. Have you done that
score thing the Men's Health Week?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
There's a ten out of ten sixty?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Are you ten out of ten sixty? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
The barks clothing, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Rick dearly as well. The it's a website called You
just type and what's your score, and to Google and
it takes you to the Men's Health Week website. I
haven't done it yet. I've just bought the page up.
But it's like a survey. It looks like there's about
twenty yes no questions, and then it gives you a
health score, which could be a really good place to
start with us.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Let's do it after Yeah, let's do it after this, yeah,
and then we can talk about what our scores were
next week. See who's the who's the healthiest out of us?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Here's a sample of some of the questions. It's like
how old are you? Have you had your blood pressure checked?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You're older?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Good? Checked? Are you a smoker? Do you eat? How
much fruit and vegetable do you eat? And I ask
you about alcohol and things like that. So I think
it's like a starting point.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Of smoking, beers, vaping. It'll ask you all that kind
of stuff. Yeah. I look, we didn't want to focus
on butt stuff, but we're just trying to normalize things
so if you have them coming up, you can have
a laugh about it. But I was how old was born?
I don't know. I'm like twenty six, twenty seven, and
I've got I've got gone and got a heymoid a pile,
(19:06):
so my butthole is stinging. Yeah, apparently lots of people
have them that just don't talk about them as confidently
as I do. I've bought this up before, and geez,
they are bad. Like I remember I had a day
I called and sick to my work, my office desk job,
to say that I had put my back out for
the sheer fact, I could not sit down and it
was tiny.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
This.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
When you get piles, it does become a shit. Who
do I call? I'll call my mom as like, hey, mom,
I called my mom. I'm very close. I was very
close with my mom. I know that she had had piles.
I don't know why. I know that you guys work,
but I'm like, mom, I've got a I think I've
got a pile my butt. My buttthole is like stingy
as how and I can feel this tiny little thing.
(19:47):
And she's like, oh, yep, she's British. Here we go, guys,
stay with me. Oh yeah, run yourself a nice hot bath,
hot pant soap, your hand up, and you just want
to try and just push it gently back up there
and then whole and then hold your butt chicks together
and just help it push back. That's all it needs, Jordan.
It's just popped out and you just need to push
it back up. All right, Good luck, lovey. And I'm like,
(20:07):
are you serious. She's like, yeah, go run a buth,
Go run a bath. She'd say, go run a bath.
And so twenty five Jody's very aware of this. I'm like,
don't come in the bathroom. I've got to run a
warm bath. Soak my finger up and try and slip
my finger and grab the pile and try and push
it back up my butthole. I'm sorry that this whole episodees,
but it wasn't planned to be this butt focused. So
(20:28):
I'm in the bath, I do the thing. It's not great.
It's not a great time. Yeah, and you can't get it.
And then you're clinching for every like you're trying to
crush a can. You hop out of the bath, and
you keep everything crushed. I'm sitting down like I'm trying
to lay down in the lounge. I'm keeping my butt crushed.
And then a day later, like the pain is there,
I've got to bite the ball. I gotta go to
a doctor.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, I think it's miraculously cured.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
No, not miraculously clear cured. So I go to the doctor.
It's I don't know. I was one of those guys
who never had a doctor like I was. I never
knew their names, so I just went. I go to
the same practice, but they'd be like, do you want
to see I'm the same. I'm like, just just whoever.
I don't know in my head. Maybe I wanted a woman.
I don't know. But I go in and it's this guy,
and straight away I just feel real bad, Like your
(21:09):
day to day is you need to steer into my
mor door and just figure out what's going on. And
I said, mate, I think I've got a pile. He's oh,
good about and lie on the bed and the fetal
position is what.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
He's here on your side, yeah, yeh yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
He doesn't say it in a way that lie on
the bed on your side, tuck your knees up. He's
just lie in the fetal position. I'm like, that just
makes me feel so much worse.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
A familiar position that you're regularly in.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So you get, you slip your pants down gently in
your uppart and within two seconds he's like, yep, yep, yeah,
you've got yourself a and I go, yeah, yeah, so
I tried to push it back up. I tried to
push it back up and it hurt like shit and
didn't really work. And he goes, yeah, well that's because
there's two kinds of hemorrhoids or piles. There's internal or external.
Internals can't be it was one of them, but internals
(21:54):
can't be pushed back up. Externals can. He's like, you
have an internal so you've been trying to push the
thing that was never ever going to go back up anyway. Yeah,
so you the bath, try to push a pile that
was never do it.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It's my mother's fault.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
So, and then they give you some it wasn't bad.
And yeah, they gave you some cream, and you said,
on your way, it'll get better. And so then you're
every day putting cream on your buttthole. Yeah, that's not
a great time.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
But you've broken the butt whole seal. So you will
be fine when it comes time to have those exams done.
We will all be fine. But you are one step
closer to just you know, who cares, man, Just get it,
get it done, get the test done. Yeah, do it
for your children. You know, that's where what it comes
back to when you think about your children, Well it's happening.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, I don't ever want to have to go. Well,
I won't give them the advice of when they're twenty
two and like dad, I've got a pile. Hopefully they
go to their mum. I won't be telling them to
run a bath. I'll be saying just send them this podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah good, Yeah, this podcast lives forever.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, just send them a link to this, Dad, I
got a pile.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Link apart from.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Skip past the bit where Uncle Clint's getting us balls
checked out and just go straight.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
To the Yeah, apart from you forcing a doctor that
did not want to touch your testicles to touch your testicles.
Have you any other in the safe space of this podcast,
have you any other quirky fun doctor health checkups?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
No? My major health concern has been and I'm interested
to know if.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You're not your teeth. Your teeth look great. Now, Okay,
that's not a health thing. Okay, he's got it. He's
had a visit line. He looks great.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Thank you. I appreciate it, Nana. It's what us, what
us Malory men get? Gout has been the big issue
for me.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Did you just say us Mary Men?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I had no idea you had, Mary and you?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah? We didn't ask, did you?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
No? I didn't. It's just because I've heard you say
rotal ruis so many times and I think, surely you
can't be Marty.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Thank you very much. And so that was that was
the big one for me. And that was I.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Didn't even know gout. What's gout? First, quickly, what's gout?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It's what it's they call it what they call it
good living disease, and it's you eat too much rich food,
seafood will do it to you. But then things like
craft beer, and some whiskeys will do it to you too,
and it's like it doesn't it's boring, but yeah, people's
partners might be going through it. You get a build
up of like acid which crystallizes and it pulls on
(24:23):
the lowest part of your body, which is your big
toe joint. And when it crystallizes, it's like broken glass
and it's so there's like little little shards of glass
in between your your big toe joint, which is so
painful that you can't walk, and it's so painful that
you can't even have like a bed sheet covering your
foot at night.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
What the flip. Yeah, yeah, it sounds terrible.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
And I used to get it once or twice a year,
and the bit for me of getting older was going
to the doctor and him going, hey, this is like
your eighth visit in the last five years. It's time
to put you on a preventative pill that you take
every day. So now I've got a pill that I
take every day. And I just want to be a
person because I thought I was healthy. Guy. I don't
want to be a pel every day guy, but I'm
a pearl every day guy.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Sorry, I feel like I misheard or skimmed over a bit,
but what you had gout?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, well, no, you get it. You get it. It's
like it's like you don't have hemorrhoids, but you have
had him.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
So you had a moment where your toe was sore.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah regularly, yeah, holy shit, and it was gout yeah
yeah wow. And then I talked and they're like, it's
often genetic, so Pacific Marti and Pacific Island people get
it a lot. And if your dad got it, you're
quite likely you men get it more than a woman.
And I said to Dad after I got I was like, hey,
is this the thing that you get? And he goes, oh,
is that the sore foot thing? You always wondered what
(25:39):
that was. He never went to the doctor about it,
threw it until it went away, and it's so painful.
It's so painful when it happened. And then I realized,
I get it. My brother gets it, my dad gets it, so.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I have let's get Hey, mate, I'm lovely that I
wasn't thinking too deep and heavy with this episode. But
already we've talked about chicking your nuts, you know, like
bum Stuff's fine, guys, Yeah, okay, I'm still married at
all woman, I still have three beautiful kids. Okay, a
dude can touch it, listens to all my stubborn rural
(26:17):
New Zealand listeners. A dude who's a professional can touch
your buttole okay, and you're not going to come out gay.
You're going to be okay. Yeah, you're going to be okay.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And then and you bring it up and if you
are gay listening to this, a dude can touch your
buttthole and it's not going to turn you straight.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Exactly, and it's and it's not. It's also not them
coming on to you. Okay, you can go in there
and you just need to you need to know.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Let's be honest. If we have any gay listeners, they're
not so immature about this stuff. They're like, oh my god,
get on with it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I wanted to talk about really quickly, quickfire things. Where
you are right now? Are you apart from your gout
and apart from your cons so brave? We've got this
weird and look mid forty to mid fifty to mid
sixty year olds who maybe listening it will be rolling
their eyes. Yeah, but I feel like thirty's the gag
isn't a gag? You hit thirty and things you start
(27:13):
breaking down. Do you have anything right now that's broken?
And you're like, I wish this thing would go away.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I had to dig like a drainage trench at our
place over the weekend and it was underneath some tree,
so I'm like quite contorted and I'm digging in like
clay and stuff. I had to have two hip some
salt baths. I had to use annasium cream rub I
had to do like three sessions of stretching salted the bar. Yeah. Yeah,
(27:41):
my knee isn't working abruptly, my love back isn't working abruptly,
and my neck is killing me just from one session.
From one, I was digging for about three hours.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Fuck, maybe we don't bring this up. Maybe now any
rural listeners we had are just turning off.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
And I thought about that while I was doing it.
I was like, what about these farming men who are
out there working the land every day? And in my
head I try to just far. I was like, nah,
they've got machines, they'll have like a back hoe that
will dig their ditches. They're still lifting well, they're still
lifting poles and shit like that every day. Look just
(28:18):
sophisticated men who have lost the ability to do manual labor.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Look builders, roofers, farmers. Yes, they're going to be used
to doing physical stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You're conditioning, right, it's what you're conditioned for.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
They couldn't sit in a chair like you and hndle
the buttons and speak at the right time. Okay, just
take that. They couldn't do your job. Okay. I real similar.
We have this deck that we've been getting done and
me being a tied us, we got a builder mate
to do it. And then he's like, it's going to
be this much, and I was like, what if I
(28:51):
help as the laborer and do all the bad digging
and all that stuff. He's like, that'll save us heaps.
So it got to like the demo and had to
rip it. We were reu sing old posts. I'mrapping your
nails out. I've stuffed my elbow like day one, like,
couldn't I'm not joking. I'm left handed. I couldn't wipe
my ass. I had to wipe my ass with my
right hand, like it was that bad. I couldn't like
(29:13):
scratch my nose. But I had a few days of
just having to be on the tools and work through
it because I've got to get this done. Side here,
I'm swinging a hammer and my elbows just screaming at me. Yeah.
Went into my Osteo guy who's like a physio Cairo
mixed together. That's all Ostio Panther's and he's like, yeah,
you've got tennis elbow. Hang on. My dad had that
when he was fifty and wore like a copper bracelet
(29:35):
because he believed in that copper bracelet wearing kind of that's.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Right, I remember those, yeah, and he's like, no biomag
under lace ye yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
And he's like, now anyone can get tennis elbow. You've
gone and got yourself tennis elbow. I'm still like recovering
to this. I've got these weird exercises I have to do.
I take Voltairean for the swelling. He says, you just
got to stay on top of your Voltaireans.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And this is meant to be in our fifties thirties,
we're still in the prime of life now.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Just to loop it back to butthole stuff because that's
been the main focus of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
fell over last year when we went snowboarding slash skiing
with the kids. I'm a snowboarder. It's really hard when
you've got to try and hold your six year old
and make sure she's okay. She's not listening, and you
go to twist to help them, and I've just slipped
straight up snowboard in the air, both onto my ass
(30:21):
onto what was that concrete ice just and I found
my towlbone like sh and you're trying not to throw
at the kids, and you're like God, if you just
listened and skied away, I would have been absolutely fine.
Even now, right now as I talk to you, I
can feel it. And this is a year later, and nowtsaw.
I googled just recently cocksix tailbone stuff. What I figured
is that I need to go in and have it
(30:43):
put back into place. This is worse than a dude
touching your butt. I've watched the video. You are on
all fours with your knees tucked up. This person basically
has to grab onto your tailbone with two fingers. The
way they're doing it is their hands are very deep
inside your crack yeh, and they grab your tailbone and
then maneuver it in. What's put me off booking it.
(31:04):
I've got quite a rapport with my osteo. We talk
about the Warriors, we talk about things, he's worked on
a few broken down injuries. I feel like the comaraderie
will have is going to change significantly if I ask
him to put my coxis back into place. So I'm
contemplating whether just blind booking and another chiropractor and going
in there and asking them to do it.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Now, go and see your guy. He knows you really, Yeah,
he knows your body a whole car. You know. You
take it to the same mechanic because one thing could
be linked to another thing. He can put his hands
on your cox. It can go, oh, this is actually
related to the tennis elbow, you know, and then he
might just tweak your elbow and your cocks. You might
go and see the same guy and Will only and
that's his job. He's a professional. It will only deepen
(31:47):
deepen your relationship.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The other struggles we have anyone living in twenty twenty
four who uses social media, as we have just shown
a million clips a day that we haven't asked for,
but just of people living their best lives, which seemingly
look like their best lives, but again, it's eight second
clips on Instagram. But here they are taking their turmeric
shake that they have every day. Here they are stretching
(32:10):
and working on their flexibility and mobility and all these things.
Something I feel like I'm having the what people worry
about with teenage girls, right, and teenagers in New Zealand
getting peer pressured by social media into what they should be.
I almost feel like I'm having a wave of that
as a thirty five year old dad, Like I'm seeing
(32:32):
so much social media of dudes my age who are
just ripped and shredded and living their best lives. And
I know I need to work on mobility, Like I
can't even touch my toes all this shit, and I'm
going to do that and I don't. And then you
get reminded two days later by some other clip that
comes up on social media like man, I'm a sack
of shit. Yeah no, I'm like, man, I'm a sack
of shit. That's the thought that goes through my head
(32:53):
for a quick thing. It's like, you're a piece of shit.
Get up and work on yourself, like you you always
hear health is number one and to put that in
your head, and I just can't get that in my head.
I'm always I'm too busy. Do you know how many
videos I have to edit today? Or do I need
to do this? I got this meeting. I don't have time.
I know. I told myself at lunchtime I'm going to
take five minutes and stretch on the floor. I don't
do it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
No, And it's very normal. That's very normal. It's the
same way I feel too. So the teenage girl reaction
to social media thing, I think everyone's experiencing it at
the moment. I think social media has reached this tipping
point and we're on it exponentially more than we were
five years ago, and there's niches for everybody in every
(33:32):
life stage. Mums are feeling it from mum content where
they go, oh, I'm not as I'm not a focused
enough mum because this mum on Instagram is doing this.
And kids are feeling it because the body and mag issues,
and dads are feeling it because they're not ripped enough,
and people who don't have enough money are feeling it
because people are doing a flashy lifestyle. Social media is
the worst, man, It's the worst. But don't forget to
(33:55):
follow us.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Please go into your social media and follow uskey to
our growth. I want to hear nice short, little audio
sending clips that you guys can send it in to
us at on Instagram, at the parenting hangover tat little microphone.
Send us some nice, short and concise, little funny stories
you may have had at the doctors, ones that are
going to give us a real good chuckle. But it's
(34:19):
also funny because it as normalizes it. Like, look, you
had something on your boob, you had something on your diddle,
you had something on your knee that you thought you
shouldn't talk about. But if you talk about it here, hey,
you might save someone okay from having gout and being
sixty five years old and are going, oh, is that
what that was?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
That there were geez, I wondered.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I thought I just had ten pieces of glass in
my toe.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I can't walk more than fifteen meters anymore. Yes, that
would be excellent. There's no feedback this week because I
have had major technical issues and I've been combating that
all week. But we will get your voice memos on
next week's episode.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Voice memos next week as a little recap, and also
our men's Health score to see who's the healthiest out
of us. No cheating.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
We're going to talk about it on the thing next week.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I think we'll say who've got what score? We'll just
say our scores, who's the health.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
If you want to do it, I think you can
do this from all over the world. Go to Men's Healthweek,
dot co, dot in z. That's where you can do it,
or just google what's your score and you'll be.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Able to And if you didn't understand our Kimi drawl there,
that was Men's Health Week, dotco, dot.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
And z in z.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah was that good? That was pretty clean American. See
you guys next week.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
See yuh
Hi, everybody, Welcome to a brand new episode of The
Parenting Hangover and Men's Health Week.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Look At Men's Health Week, Look at Us, Topical, Topical,
Topical Health, Hangover, Topical Healthy.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
We're going to discuss our health in general and our
health journey to date and kind of try and destigmatize
a little bit of this stuff, because even though it's
twenty twenty four and we're all open minded, girl, dad,
you know, healthy, whatever, its still a bit weird to
talk about some of the stuff. But it shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, Clint, we've just recorded the episode. Clint chears something right.
He may have made a doctor do something that that
doctor didn't want to do, but it's all in the
name of health progression. We went into this episode kind
of going in for a bit of a laugh, and
it's actually been really helpful to both of us. You've
given me some great advice and where we should be
(00:54):
going as whatever age you are. Again, we remember the
people that watched Clint DJ and they're like eighteen year
old girls who's randomly watched this. But if you're like
us and you're in that kind of middle aged thirties, forties, fifties,
you got kids.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Even DJs need their prostates examined.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I don't. I don't know. Yep. Listen. Now here's the
episode here.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
It comes back from the New Zealand Radio and Podcast Awards.
It is the award nominated Parenting Hangover Keyword nominated.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
We didn't We didn't win it, guys, but it was
a fantastic night out. It was good to rub shoulders
with other radio New Zealand celebrities. Clinton had to hold
my hand during the night because basically, I'm just there
on my own. He's there with a posse of his
radio show that he has. So they were up for awards. Yeah,
we didn't win.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I think I like to think we came second. There's
no way to know, but my.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Kids asked that my kids are the exact same thing, like,
did you come second? I was like, it's hard to know.
Yeah we did. Yep, we got second.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yep. We were in the middles. Either way, we were
either sickond or third. They just don't tell you. But
the night was a lot of fun. Geez, you got
a lot of compliments on your outfit. I don't mean
to keep going about the outfit, but you.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, the outfit that just keeps on giving yep. I
looked sharp and I ended up getting comfortable in it.
I even just like forgot that I was wearing slick clothes. Yeah,
and so I saw like dudes checking me out. I
was like, bro, are you chicking out my darkest kid.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Although we did have to make that pet stop at
about seven thirty so you could go get some plasters
because you were getting ouchytes.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I bought a backup a whole pack of plasters at
like seven thirty pm, and then thought, I only need one.
I don't want all the shrubbish, so I left it
with the man at the shop and then thought, now
I'll put all these spear plasters in my pocket because
there's going to be so many people with sore feet tonight,
ladies wearing heels. But then I just looked like a
weirdo because I kept doing it as like a half
drunk joke, like someone come to talk to you, like,
(02:55):
by the way, do you guys need a plaster? And
they kind of laughed weirdly and then just walked away.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
They were quite big glasses too, and they were a
massive It kind of looked like you were offering girls
like a cemetery. Pad Oh, is.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
That why people will hear? That makes way more sense now. Look,
we both had some dad beers. I think we both
left it around midnight one am. That's pretty late for
late for dads. And I felt it. Man, you're at
the age now. I don't think it gets any better.
I wonder if there is a moment in your life
where it does start to get better the next day,
Like you can drink and wake up and you feel great.
(03:28):
But I don't do it as often as I did
when I was younger, and now it just everyone can
relate to this. You just are a piece of pooh.
The next day. You try to do everything you can.
My fault is that I just try to eat through it.
I think that I'm going.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
To come up everything.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, you think that one of these meals is going
to fix it, and you just end up feeling worse.
And so I had a very quiet day. No I
woke up, so I got I remember going to be
at like one am. I woke up to a seven
thirty am tech Simon Aucklord. My wife's home in Totonga
had a tummy bug going through the household. I wake
up from a text from my wife. I'm pooling and
(04:04):
spewing at seven thirty am, and I'm like, okay, hopping
in the car now. I had a shower and jumped
in the car like I was going to slowly make
my way home.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
You should have replied, thanks for the heads up. I'll
book an extra night at the hotel just to make
sure you're quarantined for twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know what she wanted
from that, Like I, so I just said I'm coming home. Yeah,
because this couple of the kids, I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I would react the same way. I'd be like, well
she needs hands on dick.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yes. And then I tried to fight the bug, not
the hangover. I'd never won against that. So I went
home and I was like, I'm not going to get
this bug. You've all had it. I've googled it. The
only way I can catch this is if you guys
haven't washed your hands, or a bit of your spew
gets in my mouth or something like that. But I'm
not going to get this tummy bug because I'm a
grown adult and I don't put my hands in my mouth.
I got it. I got it. I got it like
(04:56):
two days later, not as bad as everyone else. I
was walking around the house trying to staunched it off,
like my gut was just the knots, and JODI's looking
at me and I'm I don't have it on fine,
I don't have it, and she goes, you are green, Oh,
I don't have it.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
This is probably an old wife's tale, but my friend
Sharon Casey swears by because she has toddlers as well.
She swears by a shot of tequila in the morning,
if you have it, if you have if there's a
bug going around, if one of your kids comes home
with a bug, a shot of tequila, and she reckons
that will kill the bacteria in your stomach.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
How are the kids though? Like wasted boy, chat boots,
dad's got boo?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
How's the kids other than tummy bugs?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
The kids are tummy bugs. Has really been the focus
of the household. And it's been really funny just seeing
your kids. And we've talked about this before, but your
kids are all so different. You're never going to be
this parent who can go look at this breed of
litter of kids I have, and how perfect they all are,
and look they all tie their shoelaces the same. They
all listen as soon as I asked them to do.
They're all different and so on. All of them, like
(06:08):
a couple of them with the spewing and the pillen
absolutely fine, little troop like troopers. One of them begin
to the age. Now I can't name them because if
one of their mates here has listen, parents listen, they're
going to be real annoyed at me. But one of
them is just like it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Was any problem naming Jody when the podcast like I'm
shooting my pants.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
She's fine, she's fine. But one of them is just
acts like the world is over and the world has
ended because your belly has only just started to get
a little bit sore, and where the others are like,
oh up, walk themselves to the bathroom and then come
back watch TV. What a legend. I was the kid who,
like a lot of us, would weirdly run to the
(06:47):
parent to tell them and then spew down the hallway
as why kids do way around it?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, go do this.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Didn't come and tell me everything's on the up right now?
Though they're they're all back to school. There's lots on
a lot of different things, but school discos where so
many sports now, but they're not all doing a lot
of sports, but because they're at the age where everyone's
doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Who's the DJ for your school discos?
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Not you? You were too expensive.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Thought it might be you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
No, No, it's just a it's just a iPod that's playing,
I'm guessing, and a teacher.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Okay, hit and play really but.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, busy time, lots on and basically spubag has blurred
the last week. But now we're choker. We're choker with
lots how's your household mate.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Gird It's the main focus in our house is fifth birthday,
which is about four weeks away.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh, that's one of the big ones.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
It's one of the big ones. So organized tequila out
of the party, get the tequila out. And the other
focus is big girl bed. So Maggie the three year
old is about to go into a big girl bed
and that's her primary focus at the moment. We've had
a real rough run of her not sleeping through the night.
So Lucy has turned her big girl bed into a bribe.
She's like, you show me that you can, because she
(07:59):
should be in the bed now she's three and a half.
She's like, you show me that you can sleep all
night and we will get it for you. And that's
a real carrot.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So now we're bid shopping. We're looking at all these
different things. Man, bids are expensive. I'm doing the dad
thing where I'm saying to loose, hey, there's some pretty
good second hand bids on trade meet. You know, we
could get her a fresh, fresh mattress. But these frames.
This is this twenty year old wooden bid frame looks
really solid. And I showed it to Lucy last started.
She goes, eh, yuck, she's a little girl. She needs
(08:29):
a pretty bed. I'm like, what or does she need
this forty five dollar bed that's in gray Linn that
I can get tomorrow. That looks like it would stand
up to an earthquake.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
And I'll stand it and I'll paint it.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I'll do that, babe, I'll make it pretty.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
She knows you won't. She knows you won't. But that's
a great bribe. That's the times where you can bribe
your kids. Yeah, without being judged. That's a perfect bribe.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, and it's working. So today we're going to talk
about men's health because it's Men's Health.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Week, Men's Health Week, and here we are being a
topical podcast. Yeah, okay, because of the week, this will
come out right.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
We might not remember Mother's Day, but we remember Men's
Health Week.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
We remember Men's Health Week. And look, the hangover wasn't
a lead into it that that was a part of
men's health. We are men who struggled with health on
the Sunday or Saturday after that we were unhealthy men.
But in men's health. We thought it'd be funny to
look back on any health checkups we've had that might
have a funny story attached. Yeah, and kind of chat
(09:24):
about where we are meant to be going. What are
we like as mid thirty year old dad's what are
we meant to be doing to be the fittest we
can be?
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Yeah. I thought a few years ago that I should
get ahead of the curve with this, and I had
a friend. The reason I did, actually is I had
a friend who he was like thirty, must have been
like thirty three, and he found a lump on one
of his nuts and he went in and they said, yep,
that'll be cancerrous. So they just whipped the nut out,
and I was like, whoa thirty that can happen at
(09:52):
thirty three, and that kind of scared me into going
because I was like thirty two, and I was like,
I should really, so I booked the with my GP.
I went in. I saw my GP and I said, hey,
I want to be I want to be proactive about this.
My mates just lost a nut. Can I get checked out?
And the no shit, the GP. It was a guy
and he looked at me and he goes, oh, if
(10:15):
you want, and I went I said sorry. I said, wait,
I'm doing the right thing here by all accounts, I'm
doing the right thing and you you you saying you're hesitant.
He goes, well, we wouldn't usually chick you until you're forty,
but yeah, I mean if you want.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I hop up on the bed and then I was like,
what's weird now?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
And it's weird.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's so weird now. But and I had this moment.
I was like, well, the doctor's weird about it. Should
I just not do it? I was like, and then
I'm here to went no, you did it. Pull your
pants down and get on that bed. So I did,
and he fondled around my balls and then he goes
to me with the same tone of voice, he went,
you're fine and I said, this is what I wanted
(10:55):
to hear.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Is this the part of the story. We also left
out the bit where you arrived straight after the gym
and you just run tin k and you were in
a sweety singler in sweety shorts and he was like, yeah,
I suppose I could do it.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
But no, I had freshly washed, unshaven balls.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
And freshly washed unshaven balls. Okay, yeah, good on you, though,
I thought so for proactively getting in there, because yeah,
you'll hear something, or you'll see an ad or something
will be about testicular cancer or men's health. And then
that night in the shower you kind of do feel
your own balls. Problem balls aren't if you don't have them.
(11:32):
They're not round and smooth anyway, and a regular time,
so can you do freak out? It can get confusing
because you're like, maybe one of them might be, but
then the other one's like what's And then what's that
little bit hanging about? And then you google some things
and you realize, oh, yeah, well there's all the pipes
in there that are connecting the nuts and they're kind
of dangling about in the sec What a weird place
to put testicles? Just putting it out there though. The
(11:54):
things you know, apparently they're there for heat because they
need to be outside of the body. Surely our body,
over all these years that it's evolved into amazing things,
could have put the nuts and made some other way
to keep them cool and actually put them inside of
our body so they are never any issue. The one
thing that can floor a man and split second, it's
just sitting there between our legs. Yeah, makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah. I listened to a podcast with Dihinwood the other week,
who has been speaking of mentality, is a huge advocate
for it now and he's a guest coming up on
our podcast. We've just started to lock in the details
for that, and he was talking about his chemotherapy at
the moment, about how if you have testicular cancer, the
chemotherapy can't reach your testicles because they are separate from
(12:39):
your body. They have their own ecosystem, and if you're
having a treatment, it can't get to the testicles because
your body goes ah, that's those are the livestones that's
got the that's got half the DNA of a human
being in there. It can't get affected. So they are
this weird chamber of secrets that just dangle down there
below your legs.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
And an ecosystem. I'd hate to think what's growing down
in someone's ecosystem of testicles.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But so taboo, and they're so yuck and ugly as well.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
They are, they're just a weird thing. And here here
we've been designed that. Here they are loud and proud
right there, the wrinkly old man's neck skin, yes, is
down and I'm only you know, the age of fourteen.
They look like old man's wrinkly nick skin. Like there's
no time where they weren't ugly.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Yeah, it's just turkey neck hanging between your legs, which
means they are rife for neglect because they're over sensitive,
they're taboo, and they're ugly. It's the holy trinity of
don't touch them, don't talk about them, which is the problem,
and not to keep going on about die because he
will talk a lot about this when we talk to him.
But that's the problem with rectal cancer as well and
(13:46):
bow count cancer is it's in a yuck quote unquote
yuck gross area that people don't like to talk about,
so they don't pay any attention to it.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And I tried, I tried to, you know, flip right
around and look at my butt, hold it see, but
you end up falling over in the shower and one
of the kids walk in and you're like, I'm fine,
and you got to try it up heart. Oh yeah,
it's very hard to look and to do a self
examination on your buttthole, like visually, yeah, to see how
things are.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I had a chat. I'm in a group chat with
some mates from high school and we're all thus same age,
we're all approaching forty and just yesterday, before you even
suggested the topic of this podcast, a message went around
from one of the boys who has just had the
camera up the butt to check that stuff out. Yeah,
and he said it's his second camera up the butt.
And then I was quite proud of our group because
(14:37):
the conversation moved to did you ask did you proactively
ask for the camera up the butt? Or did the
doctor was there symptoms like blood or something like that
That meant that you had to ask for the camera
up the butt and he had had mild symptoms. But
then we all started talking about without any like prejudice
or judgment or anything, and just going well, should we
be going in and asking for the camera up the butt.
(15:02):
We and it's that weird light if you don't want
to sound too keen for a camera up the butt.
But we're like, should we be going and asking for
it at thirty seven?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, because I know there's the age we're not there
yet where they'll do our prostate, which is the old
doctor's finger up the butt. Yes, but to beginning a
camera up there, I feel like you'd need signs first,
or symptoms. I don't feel like we needed to be
walking in there and saying hey, I would love to
be like, tick me off now at thirty eight? Can
I get the camera up the butt?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Plan I bought? I bought my GoPro and a flexi pole.
Can I get the camera up the butt?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I want? Can I please get the sixteen inch camera
camera inspection camera to go up my butt hole? Please
and just check some things out. I don't want to
be putting my hand up for that, like I.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Don't know unless you don't want to, but should we?
Because I don't want to be in a position where
someone that someone like die is in. Who's a young
dad who was misdiagnosed a few times and could have
probably caught things earlier, and you know it's still been
around for his kids for longer. We don't know how
(16:04):
long I will be around. He could go for ages
and he has talked about that too, but you know,
you just don't want to be in that position. So
should we be asking?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
But I get you with the guy who heard the
direction about getting your nuts tested. I also feel like
I always feel that when I go to the doctors,
Like sometimes I'll go in and I've put something off
and then I've got something else fleair up. So I'm like,
I'll go into the doctor and I'll ask about that
second thing while I'm there. While I'm there, but they
make it almost like that isn't an option. You get
so awkward towards the end, like they're like trying to
get you out the door. Yeah, and you know they're
(16:35):
up against it. You know, there's a whole waiting room.
And there were times when I'm just like, oh, I'll
just I won't bring that up. I'll just leaving. And
so sometimes it's proactive stuff. I don't know if doctors
are open arms and like yeah, because sorry, eight years
ago I've been and it had bloods done, and because
Jodie had just been found to have real low iron
and I'm like, shit, I get pretty zonked out. Maybe
I'll go get I see can I please have all
(16:56):
my bloods done? And it was a similar thing as
like why you're thirty, Like why do you want all
your blood stuns? Like just to know how I am,
and like I might have a weird thing where I'm
lacking zisprey and I need more zisprey in my blood.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Like the key with bread.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
And then she did them, and I like I wanted
the results sent to me so I could have a
look as well. I know I'm not a doctor, but
all it was was like a text message from the
doctor three weeks later, your bloods are fine. Yeah, I'm
like I kind of want more than that, or can
I see them?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Or yeah, don't or you don't get a text at all.
They're like, we'll just text you if there's something wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, But again, I don't know in a
heartbeat if there was a thing at the doctor's where
you went and you got scanned, or it's one blood
sample to check you for all cancers. But I don't
think it works like that. If I did one hundred percent,
i'd go in and be like, can I please have
the cancer check? Cool bush boom cancer check? Lets you know. Yeah,
but I don't think it's that easy. I'm not sure
(17:49):
you make sense that we should be practically doing it.
I just don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
There's a website, if it's welcomed. Have you done that
score thing the Men's Health Week?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
There's a ten out of ten sixty?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Are you ten out of ten sixty? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
The barks clothing, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Rick dearly as well. The it's a website called You
just type and what's your score, and to Google and
it takes you to the Men's Health Week website. I
haven't done it yet. I've just bought the page up.
But it's like a survey. It looks like there's about
twenty yes no questions, and then it gives you a
health score, which could be a really good place to
start with us.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Let's do it after Yeah, let's do it after this, yeah,
and then we can talk about what our scores were
next week. See who's the who's the healthiest out of us?
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Here's a sample of some of the questions. It's like
how old are you? Have you had your blood pressure checked?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You're older?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Good? Checked? Are you a smoker? Do you eat? How
much fruit and vegetable do you eat? And I ask
you about alcohol and things like that. So I think
it's like a starting point.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Of smoking, beers, vaping. It'll ask you all that kind
of stuff. Yeah. I look, we didn't want to focus
on butt stuff, but we're just trying to normalize things
so if you have them coming up, you can have
a laugh about it. But I was how old was born?
I don't know. I'm like twenty six, twenty seven, and
I've got I've got gone and got a heymoid a pile,
(19:06):
so my butthole is stinging. Yeah, apparently lots of people
have them that just don't talk about them as confidently
as I do. I've bought this up before, and geez,
they are bad. Like I remember I had a day
I called and sick to my work, my office desk job,
to say that I had put my back out for
the sheer fact, I could not sit down and it
was tiny.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
This.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
When you get piles, it does become a shit. Who
do I call? I'll call my mom as like, hey, mom,
I called my mom. I'm very close. I was very
close with my mom. I know that she had had piles.
I don't know why. I know that you guys work,
but I'm like, mom, I've got a I think I've
got a pile my butt. My buttthole is like stingy
as how and I can feel this tiny little thing.
(19:47):
And she's like, oh, yep, she's British. Here we go, guys,
stay with me. Oh yeah, run yourself a nice hot bath,
hot pant soap, your hand up, and you just want
to try and just push it gently back up there
and then whole and then hold your butt chicks together
and just help it push back. That's all it needs, Jordan.
It's just popped out and you just need to push
it back up. All right, Good luck, lovey. And I'm like,
(20:07):
are you serious. She's like, yeah, go run a buth,
Go run a bath. She'd say, go run a bath.
And so twenty five Jody's very aware of this. I'm like,
don't come in the bathroom. I've got to run a
warm bath. Soak my finger up and try and slip
my finger and grab the pile and try and push
it back up my butthole. I'm sorry that this whole episodees,
but it wasn't planned to be this butt focused. So
(20:28):
I'm in the bath, I do the thing. It's not great.
It's not a great time. Yeah, and you can't get it.
And then you're clinching for every like you're trying to
crush a can. You hop out of the bath, and
you keep everything crushed. I'm sitting down like I'm trying
to lay down in the lounge. I'm keeping my butt crushed.
And then a day later, like the pain is there,
I've got to bite the ball. I gotta go to
a doctor.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, I think it's miraculously cured.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
No, not miraculously clear cured. So I go to the doctor.
It's I don't know. I was one of those guys
who never had a doctor like I was. I never
knew their names, so I just went. I go to
the same practice, but they'd be like, do you want
to see I'm the same. I'm like, just just whoever.
I don't know in my head. Maybe I wanted a woman.
I don't know. But I go in and it's this guy,
and straight away I just feel real bad, Like your
(21:09):
day to day is you need to steer into my
mor door and just figure out what's going on. And
I said, mate, I think I've got a pile. He's oh,
good about and lie on the bed and the fetal
position is what.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
He's here on your side, yeah, yeh yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
He doesn't say it in a way that lie on
the bed on your side, tuck your knees up. He's
just lie in the fetal position. I'm like, that just
makes me feel so much worse.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
A familiar position that you're regularly in.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
So you get, you slip your pants down gently in
your uppart and within two seconds he's like, yep, yep, yeah,
you've got yourself a and I go, yeah, yeah, so
I tried to push it back up. I tried to
push it back up and it hurt like shit and
didn't really work. And he goes, yeah, well that's because
there's two kinds of hemorrhoids or piles. There's internal or external.
Internals can't be it was one of them, but internals
(21:54):
can't be pushed back up. Externals can. He's like, you
have an internal so you've been trying to push the
thing that was never ever going to go back up anyway. Yeah,
so you the bath, try to push a pile that
was never do it.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
It's my mother's fault.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
So, and then they give you some it wasn't bad.
And yeah, they gave you some cream, and you said,
on your way, it'll get better. And so then you're
every day putting cream on your buttthole. Yeah, that's not
a great time.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
But you've broken the butt whole seal. So you will
be fine when it comes time to have those exams done.
We will all be fine. But you are one step
closer to just you know, who cares, man, Just get it,
get it done, get the test done. Yeah, do it
for your children. You know, that's where what it comes
back to when you think about your children, Well it's happening.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Well, I don't ever want to have to go. Well,
I won't give them the advice of when they're twenty
two and like dad, I've got a pile. Hopefully they
go to their mum. I won't be telling them to
run a bath. I'll be saying just send them this podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah good, Yeah, this podcast lives forever.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yeah, just send them a link to this, Dad, I
got a pile.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Link apart from.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Skip past the bit where Uncle Clint's getting us balls
checked out and just go straight.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
To the Yeah, apart from you forcing a doctor that
did not want to touch your testicles to touch your testicles.
Have you any other in the safe space of this podcast,
have you any other quirky fun doctor health checkups?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
No? My major health concern has been and I'm interested
to know if.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
You're not your teeth. Your teeth look great. Now, Okay,
that's not a health thing. Okay, he's got it. He's
had a visit line. He looks great.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Thank you. I appreciate it, Nana. It's what us, what
us Malory men get? Gout has been the big issue
for me.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Did you just say us Mary Men?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I had no idea you had, Mary and you?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah? We didn't ask, did you?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
No? I didn't. It's just because I've heard you say
rotal ruis so many times and I think, surely you
can't be Marty.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Thank you very much. And so that was that was
the big one for me. And that was I.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Didn't even know gout. What's gout? First, quickly, what's gout?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It's what it's they call it what they call it
good living disease, and it's you eat too much rich food,
seafood will do it to you. But then things like
craft beer, and some whiskeys will do it to you too,
and it's like it doesn't it's boring, but yeah, people's
partners might be going through it. You get a build
up of like acid which crystallizes and it pulls on
(24:23):
the lowest part of your body, which is your big
toe joint. And when it crystallizes, it's like broken glass
and it's so there's like little little shards of glass
in between your your big toe joint, which is so
painful that you can't walk, and it's so painful that
you can't even have like a bed sheet covering your
foot at night.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
What the flip. Yeah, yeah, it sounds terrible.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
And I used to get it once or twice a year,
and the bit for me of getting older was going
to the doctor and him going, hey, this is like
your eighth visit in the last five years. It's time
to put you on a preventative pill that you take
every day. So now I've got a pill that I
take every day. And I just want to be a
person because I thought I was healthy. Guy. I don't
want to be a pel every day guy, but I'm
a pearl every day guy.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Sorry, I feel like I misheard or skimmed over a bit,
but what you had gout?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, well, no, you get it. You get it. It's
like it's like you don't have hemorrhoids, but you have
had him.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
So you had a moment where your toe was sore.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Yeah regularly, yeah, holy shit, and it was gout yeah
yeah wow. And then I talked and they're like, it's
often genetic, so Pacific Marti and Pacific Island people get
it a lot. And if your dad got it, you're
quite likely you men get it more than a woman.
And I said to Dad after I got I was like, hey,
is this the thing that you get? And he goes, oh,
is that the sore foot thing? You always wondered what
(25:39):
that was. He never went to the doctor about it,
threw it until it went away, and it's so painful.
It's so painful when it happened. And then I realized,
I get it. My brother gets it, my dad gets it, so.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I have let's get Hey, mate, I'm lovely that I
wasn't thinking too deep and heavy with this episode. But
already we've talked about chicking your nuts, you know, like
bum Stuff's fine, guys, Yeah, okay, I'm still married at
all woman, I still have three beautiful kids. Okay, a
dude can touch it, listens to all my stubborn rural
(26:17):
New Zealand listeners. A dude who's a professional can touch
your buttole okay, and you're not going to come out gay.
You're going to be okay. Yeah, you're going to be okay.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
And then and you bring it up and if you
are gay listening to this, a dude can touch your
buttthole and it's not going to turn you straight.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Exactly, and it's and it's not. It's also not them
coming on to you. Okay, you can go in there
and you just need to you need to know.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Let's be honest. If we have any gay listeners, they're
not so immature about this stuff. They're like, oh my god,
get on with it.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I wanted to talk about really quickly, quickfire things. Where
you are right now? Are you apart from your gout
and apart from your cons so brave? We've got this
weird and look mid forty to mid fifty to mid
sixty year olds who maybe listening it will be rolling
their eyes. Yeah, but I feel like thirty's the gag
isn't a gag? You hit thirty and things you start
(27:13):
breaking down. Do you have anything right now that's broken?
And you're like, I wish this thing would go away.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I had to dig like a drainage trench at our
place over the weekend and it was underneath some tree,
so I'm like quite contorted and I'm digging in like
clay and stuff. I had to have two hip some
salt baths. I had to use annasium cream rub I
had to do like three sessions of stretching salted the bar. Yeah. Yeah,
(27:41):
my knee isn't working abruptly, my love back isn't working abruptly,
and my neck is killing me just from one session.
From one, I was digging for about three hours.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Fuck, maybe we don't bring this up. Maybe now any
rural listeners we had are just turning off.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
And I thought about that while I was doing it.
I was like, what about these farming men who are
out there working the land every day? And in my
head I try to just far. I was like, nah,
they've got machines, they'll have like a back hoe that
will dig their ditches. They're still lifting well, they're still
lifting poles and shit like that every day. Look just
(28:18):
sophisticated men who have lost the ability to do manual labor.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Look builders, roofers, farmers. Yes, they're going to be used
to doing physical stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You're conditioning, right, it's what you're conditioned for.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
They couldn't sit in a chair like you and hndle
the buttons and speak at the right time. Okay, just
take that. They couldn't do your job. Okay. I real similar.
We have this deck that we've been getting done and
me being a tied us, we got a builder mate
to do it. And then he's like, it's going to
be this much, and I was like, what if I
(28:51):
help as the laborer and do all the bad digging
and all that stuff. He's like, that'll save us heaps.
So it got to like the demo and had to
rip it. We were reu sing old posts. I'mrapping your
nails out. I've stuffed my elbow like day one, like,
couldn't I'm not joking. I'm left handed. I couldn't wipe
my ass. I had to wipe my ass with my
right hand, like it was that bad. I couldn't like
(29:13):
scratch my nose. But I had a few days of
just having to be on the tools and work through
it because I've got to get this done. Side here,
I'm swinging a hammer and my elbows just screaming at me. Yeah.
Went into my Osteo guy who's like a physio Cairo
mixed together. That's all Ostio Panther's and he's like, yeah,
you've got tennis elbow. Hang on. My dad had that
when he was fifty and wore like a copper bracelet
(29:35):
because he believed in that copper bracelet wearing kind of that's.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Right, I remember those, yeah, and he's like, no biomag
under lace ye yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
And he's like, now anyone can get tennis elbow. You've
gone and got yourself tennis elbow. I'm still like recovering
to this. I've got these weird exercises I have to do.
I take Voltairean for the swelling. He says, you just
got to stay on top of your Voltaireans.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
And this is meant to be in our fifties thirties,
we're still in the prime of life now.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Just to loop it back to butthole stuff because that's
been the main focus of this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
fell over last year when we went snowboarding slash skiing
with the kids. I'm a snowboarder. It's really hard when
you've got to try and hold your six year old
and make sure she's okay. She's not listening, and you
go to twist to help them, and I've just slipped
straight up snowboard in the air, both onto my ass
(30:21):
onto what was that concrete ice just and I found
my towlbone like sh and you're trying not to throw
at the kids, and you're like God, if you just
listened and skied away, I would have been absolutely fine.
Even now, right now as I talk to you, I
can feel it. And this is a year later, and nowtsaw.
I googled just recently cocksix tailbone stuff. What I figured
is that I need to go in and have it
(30:43):
put back into place. This is worse than a dude
touching your butt. I've watched the video. You are on
all fours with your knees tucked up. This person basically
has to grab onto your tailbone with two fingers. The
way they're doing it is their hands are very deep
inside your crack yeh, and they grab your tailbone and
then maneuver it in. What's put me off booking it.
(31:04):
I've got quite a rapport with my osteo. We talk
about the Warriors, we talk about things, he's worked on
a few broken down injuries. I feel like the comaraderie
will have is going to change significantly if I ask
him to put my coxis back into place. So I'm
contemplating whether just blind booking and another chiropractor and going
in there and asking them to do it.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Now, go and see your guy. He knows you really, Yeah,
he knows your body a whole car. You know. You
take it to the same mechanic because one thing could
be linked to another thing. He can put his hands
on your cox. It can go, oh, this is actually
related to the tennis elbow, you know, and then he
might just tweak your elbow and your cocks. You might
go and see the same guy and Will only and
that's his job. He's a professional. It will only deepen
(31:47):
deepen your relationship.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The other struggles we have anyone living in twenty twenty
four who uses social media, as we have just shown
a million clips a day that we haven't asked for,
but just of people living their best lives, which seemingly
look like their best lives, but again, it's eight second
clips on Instagram. But here they are taking their turmeric
shake that they have every day. Here they are stretching
(32:10):
and working on their flexibility and mobility and all these things.
Something I feel like I'm having the what people worry
about with teenage girls, right, and teenagers in New Zealand
getting peer pressured by social media into what they should be.
I almost feel like I'm having a wave of that
as a thirty five year old dad, Like I'm seeing
(32:32):
so much social media of dudes my age who are
just ripped and shredded and living their best lives. And
I know I need to work on mobility, Like I
can't even touch my toes all this shit, and I'm
going to do that and I don't. And then you
get reminded two days later by some other clip that
comes up on social media like man, I'm a sack
of shit. Yeah no, I'm like, man, I'm a sack
of shit. That's the thought that goes through my head
(32:53):
for a quick thing. It's like, you're a piece of shit.
Get up and work on yourself, like you you always
hear health is number one and to put that in
your head, and I just can't get that in my head.
I'm always I'm too busy. Do you know how many
videos I have to edit today? Or do I need
to do this? I got this meeting. I don't have time.
I know. I told myself at lunchtime I'm going to
take five minutes and stretch on the floor. I don't
do it.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
No, And it's very normal. That's very normal. It's the
same way I feel too. So the teenage girl reaction
to social media thing, I think everyone's experiencing it at
the moment. I think social media has reached this tipping
point and we're on it exponentially more than we were
five years ago, and there's niches for everybody in every
(33:32):
life stage. Mums are feeling it from mum content where
they go, oh, I'm not as I'm not a focused
enough mum because this mum on Instagram is doing this.
And kids are feeling it because the body and mag issues,
and dads are feeling it because they're not ripped enough,
and people who don't have enough money are feeling it
because people are doing a flashy lifestyle. Social media is
the worst, man, It's the worst. But don't forget to
(33:55):
follow us.
Speaker 2 (33:59):

our growth. I want to hear nice short, little audio
sending clips that you guys can send it in to
us at on Instagram, at the parenting hangover tat little microphone.
Send us some nice, short and concise, little funny stories
you may have had at the doctors, ones that are
going to give us a real good chuckle. But it's
(34:19):
also funny because it as normalizes it. Like, look, you
had something on your boob, you had something on your diddle,
you had something on your knee that you thought you
shouldn't talk about. But if you talk about it here, hey,
you might save someone okay from having gout and being
sixty five years old and are going, oh, is that
what that was?
Speaker 1 (34:35):
That there were geez, I wondered.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I thought I just had ten pieces of glass in
my toe.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
I can't walk more than fifteen meters anymore. Yes, that
would be excellent. There's no feedback this week because I
have had major technical issues and I've been combating that
all week. But we will get your voice memos on
next week's episode.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Voice memos next week as a little recap, and also
our men's Health score to see who's the healthiest out
of us. No cheating.
Speaker 1 (34:58):

say our scores, who's the health.

do this from all over the world. Go to Men's Healthweek,
dot co, dot in z. That's where you can do it,
or just google what's your score and you'll be.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
