What happens when a social media platform as colossal as TikTok suddenly vanishes, only to reappear like a digital boomerang? We kick off this episode with a whirlwind of personal stories and industry insights into the chaotic world of content creation during TikTok's mysterious disappearance and return, potentially tied to former President Trump. Discover how this digital rollercoaster affected creators, disrupted apps like CapCut, and even spiked the market value of phones with TikTok still installed—proving that in today's world, digital shifts can rapidly ripple through our daily lives.
Shifting from the social media storm, we tackle the muddy waters of football, exploring how unpredictable weather can tip the scales in team performance. Was it the rain or something more systemic at play? We discuss crucial players like Mahomes and Derrick Henry, and dissect the impact of injuries on team dynamics. From weather woes to the art of player utilization, we ponder what it takes for teams to emerge victorious, and share a hopeful glimpse into potential matchups, including a thrilling Chief-Commanders face-off.
Finally, we venture into the vibrant world of music, examining the tug-of-war between artistic integrity and commercial success. Using Kodak Black's collaboration with 6ix9ine as a case study, we highlight the transformation of hip-hop from underground art form to mainstream juggernaut and the resulting career challenges. We also unravel the intricacies of social media on personal relationships and the importance of proactive health management. From the hurdles in showcasing relationships online to advocating for regular health checkups and understanding sleep needs, this episode serves up a feast of insights on navigating modern life's multifaceted landscapes.

But boy, look at here.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
You see what I got on .
It felt nice today outside, Iain't gonna lie, it felt nice.
Yeah, it felt nice.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes sir, yes sir.
So we're going to start offwith trending topics.
I want to talk about the TikTok.
We kind of touched base on thelast episode, but it's back.
I don't know if it's because ofthe boy Trump.
He's getting all the credit,because when they came back, you
feel me, you got a littlemessage saying hey,
whoop-de-whoop, whoop-de-whoop,and because of Trump we got this
(03:01):
thing back.
And because of Trump we gotthis thing back.
So all the social mediacreators that make a living off
of TikTok you know what I meanwith their content or whether
it's a TikTok shop they seemlike they were very, very
grateful.
That's kind of dope.
And then there's a lot ofspeculation saying, oh, it went
away and it got back, so he canget that under his brim, you
(03:21):
know what I mean and say I didthat, right, right, you know
what I'm talking about.
So were y'all affected by it?
When everybody woke up and theysaid, oh shoot, it was really
gone, did y'all expect it toreally go away?
Did it impact you at all oranybody you know?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, so I'm not a TikTok guy, but the way I was
affected was CapCut and CapCutis my.
Yeah, I was hurt.
I didn't even know so when Iwent in there I completely
forgot.
I was like whoa, tiktok gone.
I forgot they're the owners,wait.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
TikTok is in charge of.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
CapCut yeah, that's their app.
Oh, I didn't know that CapCut,and my dumb ass deleted it, so
now I don't even have it.
What you don't have.
So because they came back, youcould use them.
Right, apple didn't put it backin the store I don't have.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
TikTok.
So this is making sense now.
This is why them phones goingfor 10 bands.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
That's exactly why Because?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
the phone had TikTok, still Boom.
Ah, you start wanting to buy aphone.
I did not understand that.
I'm like, bro, just get a phoneand download the app.
Why is the phone now worth$10,000?
You ain't downloading no more.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Oh, you ain't downloading.
No more, yep.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Gangsta want to get a part of the app.
Thank God, boy.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I just said, it is what it is, but I ain't go ahead
and jump and delete it.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I said it is what it is, but I ain't go ahead
and jump and delete it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
What about CapCut?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I can't get it.
I deleted it I deleted it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
It's gone.
Hey boy, I got a phone goingfor five days.
Right now I'm trying to haveTikTok to get everybody.
Hey, I ain't saying but hey.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
You know, if you know , you know, I forgot so I'm like
yeah, I don't care, whateveryou're on, everybody's body,
everybody's crying about tiktok.
And then I go open my app andall of the edits that I had is
gone.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Videos almost finished yeah, that's that hurt
bro rent out my cap, that's thathurt right there, fam.
That's that hurt.
I didn't delete that, but nowit's making sense to me when you
say that.
It's making so much sense to methat that's what was going on
with it.
I didn't register the two, soI'm out here looking for
something else like it.
Well, you were fine.
(05:34):
I'm sure you were fine, thoughyou were definitely fine, Well,
Facebook you already know theyin there, they making one coming
soon.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They got one coming soon Coming soon, just like it.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay, okay, I respect that.
That's crazy.
Do y'all know anybody who wasaffected, though?
Anybody who was like on TikTokheavy, who made a like, who make
a living off of it, Like, nah,me?
Neither, I didn't know nobody.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I don't know if it would be easy to ask Nobody's
going to really about to sayit's kind of hard to.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
If you're relying on it like that, it'll bother your
pockets for sure.
That'd be tough to just asksomebody I don't know.
Okay, I didn't know if anybodywas like you know, you know,
like yo, this is how I make myliving, or it's a part-time gig.
They generate such and suchamount of dollars.
Sure, but it also is telling me, guys is how I took.
It is like, especially when you, you, you are artists, athletes
(06:26):
, no matter what you are ifyou're using the platform and
you gain a following, we can'tonly solely rely on that
platform for everything.
Like I, still confused, likewhat happened to having your own
website?
We don't got so used to socialmedia that you know, nobody has
their own website, no more.
So like, yeah, I want to usethis platform, but I'm going to
still be directing traffic towhat I really got.
(06:47):
So let's just say this websitedoes ban me or shut you down or
go away.
You're not stuck.
You got the contacts, whetherit's email, whether it's the
text message through phone.
We've got to have another wayto stay in contact with your
fans.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, that's just crazy to mewhen I saw that, I'm like man,
that's crazy, but we'll stickwith it.
(07:10):
Man, it's back now.
We'll see for how long, becauseI know Trump said he won't have.
He want the US to have half ofthe ownership.
So this is going to beinteresting to see if they budge
.
And if that happens, becausethey're saying you know it's a
lot of money on the line withthis app, it's crazy.
A lot of bread flow through it,all right.
Topic number two we got is theplayoff predictions.
(07:33):
Man, you know what I mean.
I know we heartbroken with theRavens.
You know we heartbroken withthe Ravens.
You know it was a good game.
Now do y'all think weatherplayed a factor, or it just
wasn't their best game.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Definitely weather.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I just think the team won 100% man and you went back.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You're still sticking without.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, bro, because this Baltimore they playing that
weather, Like they playing thecold, it's cold up there, True,
so, True.
So the team just wasn't 100%.
Man, Like to go the distance,you got to have that 100% team,
like all the way around.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Agreed.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You got to.
That's why Mahomes always win.
It ain't just him, it's histeam.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
As a whole.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, that was tough, man.
We wanted to see home time.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Zay Flowers, bro.
I think once Zay Flowers wentdown, it was like man.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Here we go.
Yep he got to I mean.
But I think and I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
You asking other guys to step up, like out of nowhere
and it's not saying that theycan't, but you ask some guys to
do that and that's what happened.
That's what kind of results youget.
It ain't their fault.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Their morale was broken, man.
Yeah, they got broken from thebeginning.
They broke their morale fromearly on.
When they started the game,they looked like they weren't in
it.
They were slowly, slowly butsurely, losing their morale.
Bro, you saw, they was readyfor that L.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It was close.
But I think when you got twogood teams, I guess we expect a
low-scoring game.
And it wasn't as action-packedbecause nobody was throwing the
ball as deep as you anticipated.
It was really quick one, two,three releases and there was a
lot of run.
I I was just surprised that theydidn't use derrick henry as
much.
(09:29):
I think that was the only thinglike that.
You know cook, is it cook forbuffalo?
Is it cook?
Yeah, but I mean they didn't.
But when we kept feeding them,when I saw that I would see him
every nine, then he'll go andhit that.
You know he would get the firstdown every nine.
Then it started off slow, butevery time they did utilize them
and kept feeding them, he wouldget it and cook.
(09:50):
On the opposite side it lookedlike it was.
I just was expecting derrickhenry to show up a little bit
more.
I wanted them to utilize them alittle bit more.
And mark andrews, he didn'tthrow it to them a lot
throughout that game withouthaving zay, I was expecting a
little bit more catches from himtoo.
But man, likely Bateman, hedoes have three other weapons,
though Slam.
(10:10):
I know he said Zay, but theyshowed up Besides the drop and
the fumble from Andrews.
He usually is clutch.
He's going to give you somehighlight catches and a
touchdown.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, he can only do so much.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Steph ain't punching.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
We need everything.
Yeah, if you don't beat me, I'mnot even talking about this
game specifically, I'm justsaying beat me, holmes, that's
what you need, 100%, the fullteam.
You need to save flowers andmaybe even a little bit more.
I would like to see theRedskins and the Chiefs, I guess
(10:52):
, because I know it's going tobe the Chiefs, the Bills not
beating the Chiefs, so I'm goingto go ahead and say the
Redskins and the Chiefs.
The Redskins would be nice.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I would like to see the Redskins go too.
I meant the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I'm sorry, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
They did change it yeah, commanders.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I still say Commanders.
It's going to take me a whileto get the.
Yeah, you're right, I'd like tosee the Commanders win it all,
man.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'm with you bro.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I'm a father yeah, so I don't think they're going to
let it happen.
I don't think they're going tolet it happen.
They're going to make sureMahomes win the three-peat bro.
He's three-peating bro.
Yeah, that's going to be thestoryline.
The quarterback didthree-peating.
That's going to be thestoryline, bro.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's gonna be a story line, bro, hey, and if it and
you know what?
If that's how it plays out, man, that's how it's supposed to
play out.
You know, I ain't gonna knockon nobody.
Uh, greatness and and, and weall know, you know, although
sometimes it does look like therefs favor them, we can't, we
know, we got to call it how wesee it, all right, so that's.
That's just where we at with it, man, but it's gonna be
interesting.
I'm really excited for for it,though, and I guess we'll see
(12:09):
what happens tomorrow, you know.
I mean, with these last four,four teams in it, we'll be able
to see who's gonna make it tothe super bowl.
With that being said, do y'alldo like super bowl parties y'all
?
Y'all host, y'all, attend y'all, y'all, rather, go to a bar,
yeah we used to do it all thetime.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
We met up in one place, we watched a game, we'd
buy some food you know what I'msaying.
We used to get ribs.
All that, yeah, we did it thelast two, three years.
Was it the last three?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
years.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, three years ago .
Okay, we did it back to back toback, but we took a break.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, I like going now.
Somebody invited me to a SuperBowl party.
I'm there, you feel me.
I like to bring something, likeI usually like to ask what you
already got, or do you want meto bring anything Now?
I'm that kind of guest.
You know, I'm going to ask youand bring something now, but as
long as I don't got a host,because when it's time to go,
(13:02):
you know that feeling of Packingall the leftovers and storing
it in the fridge.
That's the ones that be gettingme like, damn, I want to be that
dude who was like, hey, I canget a to-go plate and gone, take
off, I'm with you.
Yes, sir, yes sir, we'll seewhat's going on with it.
So I also want to talk aboutman.
(13:22):
I want to talk about prettymuch lyricism in commercial
music.
Man, I don't know how y'allfeel with the atmosphere right
now in today's industry, but doyou feel like everybody's just
trying to chase a quick hit?
Or I mean, I don't even know ifwe want to say radio friendly,
no more, because I don't thinkradio is breaking music how it
used to.
It's really social mediaplatforms and pretty much, uh,
(13:45):
what you call social influencersare getting out of credit now.
But do we feel like we chasinghits and you know I mean, or or
do we still have enough peoplegiving you bars, aka lyrics, in
today's music?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You think it's getting back the lyricism.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You think it's getting back the lyricism.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I think it's getting back.
I thinkism you think it'sgetting back to lyricism.
I think people are hungry forit.
Yeah, I think it's getting back.
I think it's still a lane forthe other stuff, but I think
people want the bars back.
It's in demand.
It's in demand.
So if you really can sit, thenyeah.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, I can see it coming back slowly but surely.
Yeah, most definitely, I cansee it coming back slowly but
surely.
Yeah, most definitely, becausea lot of the stuff that I can't
even think of one right now, youcan't think of what Like
something that's trending rightnow, that's that got some really
good lyrics on it and we're allplaying it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Everything is.
This is why I'm like you know,if you are artists who like to
rap, rap or you like to, youknow you like to, you're
passionate about the craft.
You, you know, I mean you youare giving what they call a
lyricism like does it generatefunds enough for you to keep
wanting to do that?
I think that's the dilemmasometimes, where artistry is
like, yeah, I could make thiskind of music and I want to, but
(15:01):
y'all not gonna pull up theshows or y'all not streaming it
how I see these other recordsare streaming, so I'm gonna make
records that cater more to that, because I see that's what the
label either is telling me to door the fans are gravitating to.
So why would I put myself in aposition where I'm not gonna be
able to feed my family?
(15:21):
I know it sucks, but you knowyou think about most people who
paint.
They're known for what they'reknown for.
They don't got to switch it up.
You like this painter becauseof whether they draw with their
fingertips or they use a certainstencil or you know, whatever
it is, they use oils.
Some people carve on walls.
You like that for that right,and we don't ask them to change
(15:42):
that.
We want to see that everysingle time, but with us or
anybody who's an artist, it'slike nah, we want you to rap on
this kind of beat.
I need you on a little babybeat, I need you to have a Migos
flow.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's like Migos already doing that.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So why can't I do something different?
Why my ad-libs can't bedifferent?
If you already got amigos, youalready got whoever was known
for something.
You already got a Jeezy withthe.
Yeah like you gotta bringsomething different to the table
.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
And that's what you just gotta stay true to you, and
I think a lot of us get trappedinto trying to follow what
people want us to do, you knowwhat.
I'm saying what's going onright now, what's popular?
You just got to stay true toyou and that's going to work out
the best way for you.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
So I want to bring up something.
He said something that's keystaying true to you, right.
So I want to bring up whenKodak did the feature with
6ix9ine he never mentioned aboutstaying true to me he brought
up that's a million dollars.
What I look like?
Not taking a million Although,buddy, although my music don't
align, you know what I'm saying.
(16:54):
Well, what he did, no matterwhat the situation I'm granted,
no matter how he feels the world, was able to see that and know
what.
That was right, because, sameway I mean, if that's the case,
look at briscoe I literally feelbriscoe never recovered from
his situation.
You know what I'm saying.
So I'm just trying to get to thepoint where, when we say that
(17:16):
too is like damn so, whenkodak's like, well, it was a
million dollars, so I did it,what I look like not to take a
million for a 16 bar, like.
I guess that's why I'm like see, I still think, no matter what
it is that money man will makeartists do whatever it is for
the bag yeah, outside of moralsand and what your fans really
(17:36):
know you for not.
It sucks because.
But I think when you come fromthe underground man, you've been
doing this for so long andyou've never always seen money.
We look at it totally differentfrom someone who's been getting
millions.
That's fair, you know what Imean, because I mean how many
free shows has an independentartist has done to get where
he's at.
You know what I mean Before youseen a dollar.
(17:57):
You know what I mean.
How many free beats you know?
Know you spending hours andhours on a beat?
You know what I mean God knowsto to you.
Know you, you invested in yourcareer to be like all right, I'm
gonna put some of these outthere on the house to start to
build a name for myself.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I just think hip-hop that Iloved and fell in love with when
(18:20):
I started.
It's not the same.
You know what I mean and I feellike I don't know who's in
charge of getting it back tothat.
Is it the OGs?
Is it the younger generationembracing what the older
generation was doing?
I don't know how we get back tosome kind of foundation you
know what I mean when it'srespected.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I think it's hard because hip-hop is more of a
popular thing than it was backthen.
Everybody is doing it, you knowwhat I'm saying.
So it's like you have thepeople that's been doing it, you
have people that's doing it forfun.
Now you know what I'm sayingthere's more people in it, so I
(19:01):
don't feel like there's nobodythat can really control that.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Nobody's storytelling , no more man.
It's really a wide-open field.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
It's a wide-open field now.
The barber is a rapper, thevideographer is a rapper.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I mean, I'm just being for real, that's just how
it is now.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Why is that though?
Why you think everybody wantsto be a rapper.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Because it's the popular thing.
Yeah, everybody who don't wantto express themselves.
And once people see like, oh, Ican do it, like you can do it,
I can do it, it's like it's oneof those things, you know, it's
like more of a hobby than an art.
Oh yeah, it's like a hobby.
Everybody see everybody elsedoing it and they popping it.
(19:48):
I got followers already.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Let me rap now, and it's like we don't have enough
cameramen, we don't have enoughmanagers, we don't have enough
photographers.
We don't have enough roadmanagers, we don't have enough
publicists.
I don't think I've ever metsomebody in my all my years of
doing music who told me yo, Iwant to be a publicist.
You know, I'm saying oh yo I'mfinna go pick up the.
(20:12):
You know, I'm finna go pick upthe camera because you know I
see I could be more of an assetto artists who want to express
themselves.
You know, I guess everybodyfeel like it's a short route huh
.
If you're famous and popular,it's a dangerous job.
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, it's.
I guess I don't know if it'sjust jewelry or we see the cash
(20:37):
a quick come up, but it's apretty dangerous job.
It ain't the easiest thing outthere that come with security
watching your steps.
You know what I'm saying.
You in different cities, hotelsyou know the shit.
You gotta learn how to maneuverin a hotel when you're an
artist.
You know the signs what to lookfor To do something, how to
(20:57):
move kids.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
You know, what I'm saying you can't just move
around Regular like you?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
regular, and that's the thing, right?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You can't even move around regularly, like, you,
regularly like, and that's thething, right, you can't even go
out and just shop on like aregular day, like if you want to
.
You never know what happens.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That is the one thing I would tell you that, like,
when I met T-Pain early in hiscareer, I remember we was in
Atlanta and you know we got achance to ask him questions.
It was a roundtable, a goodamount of us artists, and when
(21:30):
we're speaking on it, that wasthe biggest thing he left us man
.
He was just like you know, justbe mindful.
Like you know I mean this.
Yeah, you gotta see this now,but you gotta keep in mind that
regular person, like whoever youare, your regular life you
forget about it once you hitthis level.
You know, trying to go to thestore, trying pump your own gas,
there's certain things that youwas able to do and go about
your business.
That's going to change.
So when he kind of said that, Iwas like damn, that just sucked
(21:53):
with me a little bit Like whoa,I kind of like you know, you
like how things is right now,how you can go certain places
you can go out to eat, and noteverybody wants to take a
picture, interrupt you everyfive minutes.
I couldn't imagine.
Yeah, you want that limelight, Iget it, but you also got to
know what it's gonna come with alot, yes, uh, it's gonna come
(22:13):
with a lot.
So that's what?
Uh, I think we all got to bemindful of that.
Come with it, got the pros andthe cons.
So no, I'm Mm-hmm.
So no, I'm excited to see it,man.
I'm excited to see rappersbring back lyrics.
I'm excited because everyonewas saying and this is another
thing I want to get at whenTikTok went away, everyone said,
okay, now everybody has to be arapper again.
(22:36):
Like you know, because a lot ofpeople felt like that's going to
be the like, it's going to killthe TikTok music, where it was
just a quick, catchy littlehooker, you trying to get a dope
ass, eight bars and it was overand you lived and you were
relevant because, oh shoot, I'mon TikTok.
So I don't know if y'all sawany of that, but that's what a
lot of people were saying.
They was like excited and nowit's back.
(22:58):
So that's interesting to me.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Hey, man, if that work for people, man, let it
work.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You know what I'm saying no, go ahead, it's just
like the streaming game.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Just like with the streaming game, van, with the
gaming and all that.
Everybody else want to do itbecause everybody else is doing
it.
It's the trending thing, butit's still a grind.
It's still a grind.
It's kind of like right nowwhen Castanet go live.
Everybody get mad.
They lose all their viewersbecause everybody went to him.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's just like that do he announce when he go live,
or he?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
just when you, because if I follow you, I get
an alert.
I get an alert, my phonevibrates and let me know you're
live.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Oh, yeah, that's true .
Yeah, yes, that's true.
So now everybody is just likethat Slam.
You say you're on Twitch too,right, yeah, I'm on Twitch.
Yeah, I might have to get you.
Okay, yeah, for sure.
Because now I'm about to say Ido get the alert when you go
live.
I just be like oh shoot, let mesee what Draco doing, whether
he working on the hook or Iwatch him game a little bit but
it is like oh shoot, let me seewhat he got going on.
(24:00):
You know what I mean,especially when you don't know
what you're going to get withyou.
You're making a beat.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Are you singing?
If you're?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
writing that's dope.
Well, yeah, it's just like muchman.
Relationships with social mediaIs everything meant for social
media?
Do you feel like social media,no matter what, is going to play
a role in your relationship intoday, because everybody's on it
(24:28):
?
God damn it.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I guess only I say this because I saw a video with
a married man and his wife inthe back, but I say that because
I guess, with the activitiesthat you like to do, I guess it
may not be a problem with theactivities, but like I don't
like to go as far as my wholehouse.
(24:53):
You know, when it comes to thehousehold or showing what I got,
I hate doing that, but I guessit just depends on the activity.
If I'm away from home, you knowwhat I'm saying, or we out of
town.
I think I'm going to flick itup.
I don't mind that.
But the closer I am to home,the less you're going to get it
and if we're out having an eventthat I understand.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
But I like to keep a lot of weight is it required.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
But like, do you if your partner's like well, I
don't know if you really love me, you ain't posting me on your
platform?
I want everyone to know we acouple, does that do anything to
you?
Do you feel like that matterswhen they're like oh well,
you're not posting me?
Um, you post your music, youpost this.
You do that like should thatmatter always, like it's more,
like I'm trying to protect, likelisten, if I do happen to do
(25:41):
that, I'm gonna do that, butthis is more.
This is private here.
You know this is you feel me I?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
feel both.
I'm kind of in the middle yeah,me too okay I'm like, I'm like
on both sides because, like, Ido feel like it's better to keep
stuff private, like off socialmedia, like from my experience,
like.
But also I be seeing peoplelike in a whole relationship and
(26:06):
they don't post their person sopeople be at them.
You get what I'm saying.
It's like I be, like I ain'tfinna be a secret.
Nah, you know what I'm saying.
I ain't saying you gotta postme a thousand times secret.
Nah, you know what I'm saying.
I ain't saying you got to postme a thousand times, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
All right.
So how I feel, you know how Ifeel, right, right, I think it's
different for the ladies man,because if you're running a
business, let's just say Allright, all right.
I got to ask you, van, now Holdon, alright.
Alright, I gotta ask you, van,now hold on.
Here's a question let me put itthis way if you're in a
relationship your relationship,she knows what you do, you know
(26:41):
all this other stuff and you'restreaming, you know you.
You know you got some.
You know you got some.
You know people in the chatthat normally is always, you
know, throwing some flirting.
You know some flirting DMs atyou, but they only there because
they like you there.
Right, they come to yourchannel because they like what
you got in your channel, theylike what they see or they like
(27:02):
what you're doing.
You know what I'm saying.
So now, how do you explain thatto your significant other?
Like, hey, I got these peoplehere sometimes just to see me,
that's it.
And they sub to me.
They donate to me.
I can't so would you.
Would you say you're?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
single yeah, like I have that with music, yeah, so
so?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
so do you claim the single status, or do you claim?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
that, like these are my fans like right, right.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
But here's the thing I'm not gonna entertain.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I'm never gonna entertain my fans like my real,
true fans, like he's never gonnago to okay.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
But here's the question, though like, do you
say, like you're gettinginterviewed, hey, you single or
you are you in a relationship?
Because that's what a lot ofthe fans be wanting to hear.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I always say I'm in a relationship like I never stuck
with that.
Oh, you gotta be single.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
So the fans like, like they like when you're in a
relationship, like they like tosee for me a relationship.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Like they like to see for me, like I think I was
doing that before it became coolLike rappers showing their girl
.
They're putting them in thevideo, like I've been doing that
Like.
I've been showing my girl off,Like I've always been that type
of person.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
But that's why I was saying I'm in the middle,
because it kind of like messedstuff up.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
You know what I'm saying as soon as you post them
now you got 100,000 mutualfollowers the next day.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
What the?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I'm in the middle too .
I'm in the middle too.
That's just how it go, bro.
So you showing off yoursignificant other.
It's other people like.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, the envy, though there's good envy and
envy is bad envy.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
That's how it go, bro , and that's the messed up part
about social media.
You know what?
I'm saying Back then themotherfucker couldn't see you
post your girl in there like, goon her DMs and get at her.
But that's how it is, man, it'sa new world, sheesh.
Yeah.
So I'm in the middle with that.
(28:59):
But I feel like at the end ofthe day, it's all how you react.
Facts Like if you entertainingthat you know what I'm saying,
then that's disrespectful.
Because if your girl wasstreaming or whatever she was
doing working at the shop, youwouldn't want her entertaining
people.
That's flirting with her.
So you got to keep it.
You got to keep it on an evenplaying field.
(29:21):
Like hey, you know what I'msaying.
Listen, respect my lady, that'sit.
I understand you're a fan andyou might be attracted to me,
but hey, I got a girl, that's it.
That's all it is.
You know, don't let it go pastthat.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I say that cause I know there's so much that don't
care.
That's why I said that.
What?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
you saying like fans, yeah, they don't care what that
?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
you got a girl yeah, they don't care, that's not and
they have the right not to.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
What loyalty do they owe to your girl Like they don't
know her?
You the one who owe the loyalty, like?
So that's what I'm saying.
Like it's all up to the way youreacted.
If you on there flirting back,then yeah, you know she gotta
handle it up.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Alright, gang, now we're going to pretty much go
into health tips with Dr Keough.
Dr Keough, welcome to the show.
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
Hello, hello.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Hello, hello how you doing, how are?
Speaker 5 (30:33):
you guys, I'm pretty good.
How are you?
Speaker 1 (30:36):
I'm doing good.
We was a little chilly butthank God we in the 60s now we
all good, but I'm doing better.
How's the weather up there inBrennerton?
Speaker 5 (30:44):
How's it we're still in the 50s, we made it to 50.
We made it to 50.
Last night we were in the 30s.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Good grief, good grief we're in the 30s.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
Good grief, good grief, hang in there, it's gonna
get better.
It's Florida, it's gonna getbetter eventually.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well, listen, we are so thrilled and happy to have
you on the show and I knowyou're gonna be able to bring
some knowledge and some thingsthat not everybody's aware of.
So we wanted to talk abouthealth tips in 2025, and we was
going to kick it off with prettymuch men's general health,
right?
Is that what we're talkingabout today?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Yes, it's the beginning of the year, so we'll
go through some tips and justkind of guide your starting
point for the year and somethings that you can go ahead and
put on your calendar.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
All right, awesome, awesome, awesome.
So listen and I know some of uswho do have things we have to
deal with we try to do thatcheckup once a year.
I know that's important.
If you're not, we want guys togo right, but at least that once
a year for your yearly checkupis important, right?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
Yes.
So I say, if I don't see youfor the entire year, I at least
want to see you once a year andthat's going to be for your
annual physical, some blood work.
So if we have some things thatkind of go wonky throughout the
year, at least I'm onlybacktracking a year and not two
years, five years, ten years,because you've lost care.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Why do you think?
I'm trying to understand,because I know even some of my
friends.
I'm always telling them, likeyou should definitely get
checked up.
But why do you think us menwe're more stubborn to going to
the doctor?
Or is it for male and female?
Do you see that in both?
Speaker 5 (32:33):
I would say male and female.
I'll probably see my femalepatients a little bit more often
but a general mistrust and then, especially when we're dealing
with African American community,just things that have happened
in the past, so building thatrelationship.
Sometimes it's hard to find aprovider that looks like you, so
that kind of contributes to thelevel of mistrust.
(32:54):
I can say for myself I'm ahealthcare provider.
I'm not as good as I should beabout going to the doctors
because I've had my ownexperience where I've gotten
wrong diagnoses and I'm notgoing to go in there like I'm a
healthcare provider.
Well, I'll let them do theirthing.
(33:14):
But at the end I'm realizinglike I've been misdiagnosed at
least twice.
I've had a doctor tell me likeare you sure you don't have
mental retardation?
Well, what do you mean?
So I get it.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
And.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
I try to make sure like building those connections
with my patients so that you dofeel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Oh OK.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
OK, I'm with it.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
That that you do feel comfortable, oh, okay, okay,
I'm with it that that that makessense to me, that makes sense
to me.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
So usually men now I'll see men.
Men are either gonna come.
They're gonna come in becausetheir girlfriend made them, wife
made them, mama made them, oryour penis is threatened like
that's usually when I want tosee men yeah, that, that'll do
(34:02):
it.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
No, that'll do it, that'll do it.
Is there anything that's likeprobably more common than others
?
Are there signs?
Um, I guess, outside of tryingto just be healthy and doing it,
are there any certain signsthat we should be looking for
that might tell you that?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
hey, you know, maybe something is wrong as far as
health is concerned um, I mean,usually if you're seeing signs
we already have have a problem.
So my job I'm a primaryhealthcare provider so my job is
to keep you healthy.
Once we get to the point whereyou already have issues, my job
(34:44):
is to help those issues kind ofstabilize and not get worse.
Already having issues, weprobably already have a problem.
So usually those things aregoing to be maybe weight loss,
weight gain, and both areunexplained.
You don't know why you'relosing weight, you don't know
why you're gaining weight.
Maybe having headaches.
(35:05):
Sometimes headaches can berelated to high blood pressure.
Maybe changes in urinationYou're urinating too much,
they're not urinating enoughthirst.
So sometimes those things aregoing to be clues for me that
you may have an issue with highblood pressure, you may have an
issue with diabetes and thoseare probably going to be the
(35:26):
more common.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
OK, that makes sense.
No, that makes sense.
I mean just just definitelyimportant.
So how is it working now withour services that you offer
Cause I know you can do virtual?
They don't have to come to youconsidering where you're based.
So how does that work if onedoesn't?
Speaker 5 (35:45):
know home visits, so kind of bringing back that old
school healthcare where I cometo the home and then I do
virtual.
So I can do virtual for theentire state of Florida.
Some visits aren't appropriatefor virtual.
So if it's something that Ireally would want to see or I
(36:06):
need to listen to your heart,listen to your lungs or actually
put eyes on you, then usuallyvirtual visits may not be
appropriate, but otherwise mostkind of urgent care issues we
can do over virtual.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Or I have patients come to my office or I go to the
home, okay, okay.
So, viewers, just make sure youkeep in mind we can do this two
ways right, in person orvirtual.
So that is an option, whetherit's on the phone or a laptop,
right?
That's when we say virtual.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
They could do it both ways, yeah, virtual we say
virtual, they could do it bothways.
Yeah, virtual, yeah.
And then my, my patients.
I try to make it easy,accessible.
So my patients usually they cantext me.
Hey, this is going on, and Idon't usually know my patients
fairly well, so I can text themback.
Well, hey, let's hop on zoomreal quick.
Or if I know I'm like, hey,I'll just go ahead and send you
(36:53):
a prescription.
So it's a little bit different.
I'm a concierge, direct primarycare.
So it's similar to a gymmembership, netflix.
You use me as much as you needto.
If you need to see me moreoften, cool.
If not, that's fine.
But you just pay a monthly fee.
So it's a little bit differentfrom your traditional health
(37:14):
insurance.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Gotcha, gotcha.
So I guess I'm looking at this.
I feel like it's more common,especially in black men.
We're looking at high bloodpressure, diabetes, and I feel
like there's a lot more peopleon dialysis.
I know my father was on it.
He almost did almost 10 yearson dialysis, but I feel like
(37:37):
dialysis always existed, butit's not something I saw in my
culture until that generation.
Is this something that you'reseeing too, and what can we be
doing to avoid these, these topthree?
I don't I don't even know ifthat's safe to say those the top
three, but I feel like they'reso common, yeah, so we won't say
(37:58):
top three.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
But, when we think about like major health issues
in a black community, usuallywe're on the top of the charts.
For all of them Blood pressure,cholesterol, heart attacks,
strokes, cancers we're usuallygoing to top the charts.
So things that we can do isgoing to be your primary health
care.
So, like I said, if I'm seeingyou, I do birth through death.
(38:20):
So if I'm seeing you as a kid,I'm seeing you as a young adult,
through maturity, as amiddle-aged adult we're going
through every year I'm checkingyour blood pressure, I'm
checking you for diabetes.
You don't have to worry aboutgetting to the point where
you're on dialysis.
If that is the case, hopefullywe've already identified those
(38:44):
labs that are abnormal early.
So that's why I said, if Idon't see you, but once a year
at least I can go back and I'llsee the changes in your blood
work so we can stay ahead of it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Gotcha.
No, thank you.
That's great information, drago, that's great information
actually Okay.
I'm soaking this in too, okay.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Slam, you got anything over there?
Slam, I'm tuned in.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Oh yeah, he look like a student over there.
He's like yeah, payingattention, okay, I got my little
bag.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Paying attention.
It over that he's like.
He's like, yeah, payingattention, okay, and usually, um
, I share with uh georgio, it'skind of like a checklist.
So you have think about it as acar.
So your car, usually if you geta new car, older car, you have
your 5,000 mile maintenance,your 10,000, your 15,000.
Our bodies don't tell us thatwe don't have a check engine
like that comes on and let usknow it's time to get this check
, um.
So that's why if you stay on itonce a year, you're kind of
keeping up with it.
Usually about 40 is when thingsstart changing and you're going
(39:56):
in a little bit more often andwe're checking kind of bigger
things.
So, I have a routine and I'llshare the link with you.
I have like a routine checklistand it's a general checklist
men and women and on thatchecklist it tells you at what
age, what interval, so how often, you should have these things
checked.
So if you feel kind ofoverwhelmed about either
(40:18):
starting or being reintroducedinto healthcare, this checklist
is kind of like where you canlook.
You look up your age, youfollow that down and it tells
you the things that it's timefor.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
So I'll say for us, I'll assume late 30s, 40s.
Okay, so I'll say, for us we'llI'll assume late thirties,
forties, and for you I'll focuson men.
There's going to be four thingsthat I'm going to say like
those are kind of going to bethe things we need to start
looking at.
Okay, that's going to be colon.
So we're looking for coloncancers, prostate, prostate
cancers.
(40:53):
Uh, we're looking fortesticular cancer and then
breast cancer.
Men do get breast cancer and ifyou don't think about that, by
the time we recognize you have abreast cancer, you're usually
pretty like advanced.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
When do they start checking this?
I've never heard a man have abreast cancer.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
So unfortunately, like when you're going for your
annual visit, your primary maynot do a breast exam.
If your primary is not doingone, I usually recommend men and
women you should be checkingyour chest breasts at least once
a month, and it's some easy.
You can do in the shower.
Um, usually I review withpatients how to do it.
(41:35):
Um, if you're in a relationship, I think as far as like
practicing intimacy, having yourpartner do it for you, so
having your partner like eitherway.
Having your partner check yourbreasts, having your partner, um
, they ain't gonna check yourcolon, but do you recommend?
that go ahead, no, okay I don'tknow what they do for men I
(42:01):
would recommend your partner ifyou have a female partner, male
partner, whatever they can checkyour breast and they can check
your testicles.
Um, because you're pretty muchjust looking for both, you're
looking for something that wouldfeel can check your testicles,
because you're pretty much justlooking for both.
You're looking for somethingthat would feel like a frozen
peak.
So, if you're not rememberingto do it, and your partner
should have an idea like babe,you remember feeling this, like
what the person that sees youundress the most, like both of
(42:23):
you should have, like anunderstanding of each other's
body.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
OK oh, that that now, that is dope.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
I don't think we I don't't.
Yeah, I just know that's not adiscussion.
Right, that's not something toaverage, it's a test of
relationships because, like Isaid, like it puts you, it makes
you kind of vulnerable in thatrelationship, but again, that's
the person.
Like you're having sex with theperson they're seeing you on
dress.
Why wouldn't that person knowyour body?
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Facts, facts, facts Gym of the day.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yeah, that's what I'm about to say.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, that did feel like a gym of the day.
That was really good.
No, that was really good.
I'm actually thinking now Now,yeah, you over here, like let me
yeah.
Speaker 5 (43:04):
I need you to go ahead.
Who else can you ask?
You remember saying this to melike who else can you ask?
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Yeah, there's no one else comfortable that you can
actually have that conversationwith Right.
Yeah, no, that was good.
Okay, no, I'm with it.
Speaker 5 (43:17):
I am with it.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
So with the chart, I know you shared it with me and
I'll definitely share it withthe fellas.
What else can we learn fromthis?
This is the forties.
The forties we talked aboutthat feeling making sure we can
check on each other, right, ifyou're in a?
If you're in a relationshipalready, that is dope.
Uh, anything else we can bedoing.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
Um, eating right and when I say eating right, I'm not
talking about eating a saladevery day, because, to be honest
, I'm not going to do it, um,but just putting good things in
your body and everything inmoderation.
Alcohol, black men, like wehave, like we have to do better
like y'all have, and women too,because I mean women drink so
just monitoring how much alcoholyou're consuming.
(44:04):
Okay, tobacco, so I have.
I ask about drugs, recreationaldrugs.
I don't ask because I'm gettingready to report you to police.
I ask because I need to knowwhat your habits are and what I
need to be aware of and lookingout for.
So when I ask do you smoke?
No?
Okay, my follow-up question isprobably going to be do you
(44:27):
smoke marijuana?
Yes, how do you smoke it In ablunt?
A blunt is tobacco.
So now I have to be aware, like, okay, how long have you been
smoking?
Do I need to order a chestx-ray?
Am I looking for lung cancers?
Because technically you are asmoker, you're smoking marijuana
, but you're smoking it out of atobacco possible nicotine
(44:48):
product.
So if you tell me you're usinga pipe or you're vaping out of a
tobacco possible nicotineproduct, um, so if you tell me
you're using a pipe or you'revaping, a little bit different,
I may not be as concerned.
I still need to give you theeducation.
Smoking is bad.
Drugs are bad, yeah, but I meanthat's what it is.
So the basics, the foundation,everybody, if they come in and
they're complaining about stuff,our foundation is drinking
(45:11):
water, eating properly, okay,exercising, getting sleep.
That's your basic gotcha.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
And when we say sleep , what six hours?
What would be the six hours?
Is it still six hours?
Is that it can?
Speaker 5 (45:25):
be anywhere from six to eight but, people function
differently.
Um, it depends on how well doyou feel.
If you're getting eight hoursand you still feel crappy, as a
provider, I need to know that,because do you have sleep apnea,
like you're rested but you'renot waking up rested?
Um, if you can survive all fourhours, that just may be your
(45:48):
habits, and if you've had thathabit for a long time, as long
as it's not affecting yourhealth, I usually don't bother
patients too much.
But if you're surviving off twohours, that's probably just not
healthy because it's not givingyour body enough time to rest.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
I kind of feel like for me, it woke me up, I think
we all.
When you're on the grind, youthink, oh, I got to get it, I
got to get it, I got to grind.
You know what I mean?
Don't nothing come to a sleeperbut a dream.
But it wasn't until, like Ifeel like Rick Ross' scare of
not getting enough sleep it kindof taught me like ooh, he
pretty much what happened.
I was like, okay, there's a,you got to have a balance of
(46:31):
this.
You do have to rest.
You know what I mean.
No matter how much money youget, you got to rest I mean you
have to recharge your laptop,your cell phone.
Speaker 5 (46:44):
Like we give those breaks, we put them on chargers.
Like it's not, your body's notdesigned to just keep going,
keep going.
Eventually it's going to poopout.
Um, so, usually, taking cluesfrom yourself, most of us, we
know our body.
You know when you need rest,you know when you need water.
Um, we don't always listen, butusually your body is going to
(47:05):
tell you what it needs facts.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
I notice a lot of metaphors to like you know,
breaking it down and comparingit to real life.
Is that something you have todo in your field to get meant?
I mean to get people tounderstand, like, do you see a
light bulb go off when youcompare it to like a laptop?
Or you know like tune in yourcar.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
I try to, because that when you're saying like why
people kind of avoid doctor'soffices if you're coming in and
I'm using all these big fancywords and you leave and you feel
like you really haven't gainedanything, you haven't learned
anything, I haven't done my job,so at the end of a doctor's
visit you should have an idea ofwhat happened that visit and
(47:50):
what your plan is down the road.
So I usually try to think ofsome kind of analogy to compare
it to real life.
So you do have that like ohokay, that makes sense.
So I try to do it a lot just tomake sure you understand and
you're not leaving in a worseposition than you walked in and
you're not leaving in a worseposition than you walked in.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Gotcha, gotcha and I guess my last question that I
have is just with CMOS.
Does CMOS fix everything?
Because I feel like, sinceCOVID, it's kind of like you
want to lower your bloodpressure, take CMOS.
You want to fix yourcholesterol, take CMOS.
You just want to be all aroundhealthier CMOS.
So now I see everyone got aCMOS water, cmos, lemonade, the
(48:33):
paste I see it all over so isCMOS.
I don't know.
Is CMOS what it really is, thehype, what we're seeing on the
internet?
Is it true, and does that fixeverything, like the way it's
presented?
Speaker 5 (48:48):
So this is my position on natural therapies.
Like one, a lot of times we endup following trends.
So let's say, a while agoeverybody was on herbal life,
like.
So we usually go through thesecycles of trends.
My position is, if I have apatient, they come in and we
identify high blood pressure andthey're like well, I don't want
(49:09):
to go on blood pressuremedicine, I want to do some sea
moss, I want to do juicing, Iwant to do like whatever.
I'm fine with that and we'llagree on the time frame.
So let's do a month.
We'll check back in.
If it's gotten better, cool.
If it hasn't, now I get to takeover.
(49:31):
So I usually try to useevidence-based practice.
So if there's evidence, thatmeans has CMOS been studied?
Have they done a clinical trialwhere they've taken patients,
they've given CMOS to one set,they've given placebo, so
nothing to another set.
Was CMOS superior?
Superior?
If I haven't looked or seen astudy that says, yep, sea moss
(49:54):
is really going to work again,I'm going to let you do your
thing because there may be apsychological benefit.
You taking this sea moss andbeing on a regimen may make you
eat better, may make you drinkmore water, and it is having
benefits where your bloodpressure is reduced.
I'm cool with that.
But, if we come back in a monthand it's not looking good, we're
(50:17):
not doing.
I mean, you can keep doing CMOS, but we about to add this
lisinopril and this goodamylodipine to that regimen,
gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
No, I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Great information, dragoanything.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
No, she actually covered what I wanted to ask
that 40 mark and us going to goget a.
You know what us men need to doat 40.
Yeah, so I don't know.
I've known men around me thathave it and I've known men that
have, so I know it's somethingthat's bothering me.
You know coming up because it'saround the corner a little bit,
(50:52):
but, um, uh, you actuallyanswered the question so I took
it out of the way.
Good, good, all right all right, slam anything piggyback on you
just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (51:03):
so with colon screens , if you've had a family history
is 10 years.
So let's say dad, granddad,brother, brother, if they were
diagnosed, so we don't screenuntil about 45, but let's say
they were diagnosed at 45.
Right, you do 10 years earlier.
If I have a patient like youplease don't go in my mood, so
(51:31):
there are other tests so thereare dna tests.
So if you've seen the commercialwith a little man on the toilet
, you poop in the container, youmail it off.
So that is actually looking fordna of colon cancer.
So if I have a patient that isabsolutely like I ain't doing it
.
I ain't doing it.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
At least we have a happy medium.
Speaker 5 (51:52):
We have other options .
So at least I'm keeping an eyeon you.
You doing it.
Speaker 1 (51:58):
I'm doing that one.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
I'm doing that one.
Speaker 1 (52:01):
You're doing that one .
I didn't know that one existed.
That's good to know.
Though that is good to knowthat we have an option.
Speaker 4 (52:08):
Yeah, that'd be scary .
That's scary.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
And that's what most people think.
Speaker 4 (52:16):
I mean to be honest, I don't know this person and
they just gotta violate me.
Speaker 5 (52:20):
I don't know, you won't even be awake, so you'll
remember, but you won't reallyremember.
Like you'll be in twilight,okay.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
I don't remember.
Okay, I don't remember.
Okay, okay, okay, it don't feelgood today, okay, so the
process is now you're asleepBecause I didn't know that.
Okay, okay, so what we see inthe movies is not real.
Okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
You are not awake, you don't even know what that is
, when you in the movies that'snot real right, the movies are
not going off the movie base.
Speaker 5 (52:54):
Look, you just wake up and we hand you tissue.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
That's okay, no.
Speaker 4 (53:03):
I can't, yeah, nah, I put it in the bag.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
And question two.
So you said if it's in yourfamily history, you recommend
taking it 10 years before.
What was that?
Jamie said?
Speaker 5 (53:17):
Usually insurances will pay for you to do it 10
years before.
So, it's 10 years before thediagnosis, so if a brother was
diagnosed at 38, you're probablygoing to be screened at 28.
So it's just a 10 year to tryto get a screening before the 45
registered.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
Slam you, alright, man slam, he just comes.
Speaker 5 (53:43):
The day just took a turn for my dog the good news is
, the good news is, once youhave it done and you're if it's
negative, you don't do it againfor 10 years.
Speaker 3 (53:54):
Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (53:57):
So if that brings any kind of you, don't do it again
for 10 years.
Speaker 1 (54:04):
Okay, I think we all, yeah, we can work with that, we
can work with that.
Speaker 4 (54:08):
I can't do it dog.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
We can work.
We got to, but that's theproblem.
That's kind of like.
This is kind of the reason why,like I know, but you got to
think about it Ten years, man,that's a good little minute and
I have to do it again.
We'll work on it.
I'm going to make sure it's agroup the way we plan trips and
(54:31):
everything else.
I'm going to make sure all mydogs get it done.
Speaker 5 (54:35):
That would be a good if you have a group of male
friends and y'all try toschedule it and be a support to
each other.
That would be that would begreat.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
None of those guys showing up.
None of them showing up.
Speaker 4 (54:45):
There's got to be another way, another way,
another way, another way.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
Oh man, I appreciate it.
That's good.
That is good.
No, that's good, I guess.
With this being said, what madeyou get into your field, so the
viewers have a betterunderstanding, what made you get
into the field that you're inand how long have you been in
the field?
Speaker 5 (55:10):
understand it, what made you get into the field that
you're in and how long have youbeen in the field?
So I have been a nursepractitioner since I graduated
nursing in 05.
So I've been in health caresince 05.
I became a nurse practitionerin 09 and what kind of motivated
me is actually my sister, so Ididn't really have an idea what
(55:30):
I wanted to do.
And she had like a majorsurgery at like eight or nine
and just being involved in thatprocess, seeing her in the
hospital, seeing how they tookcare of her, like that was
probably when I started kind ofnoticing and being interested in
healthcare.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Okay, that's awesome 2005.
Yeah, that's a long time.
So, for the viewers now whowant to reach out, who want to
follow you, who want to hit youup and get any needs they need,
how can they follow you?
What's the best way to reachyou, kia?
Speaker 5 (56:06):
Best way to reach me is actually text.
Like I said, I text my patients, they text me.
If I have people interested, Itext you back.
So text is probably the fastestway.
Um, if you just kind of wantsome information, if you want
some healthcare updates, um, Ihave a blog on my website and
that's going to be primary care,tampacom.
So what I do primary care, I'minTampacom and then Facebook.

promoters for a show from PalmBeach.
It's exposed, it's wide opennow.

Y'all check it out, you know what I'm saying.
Keep it locked all over.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Florida and you are watching Exposure.
But thank God it's in the 60snow.
We hitting like the 65s now,when the sun come out, it's
getting better.
But boy, look at here.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
You see what I got on .
It felt nice today outside, Iain't gonna lie, it felt nice.
Yeah, it felt nice.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yes sir, yes sir.
So we're going to start offwith trending topics.
I want to talk about the TikTok.
We kind of touched base on thelast episode, but it's back.
I don't know if it's because ofthe boy Trump.
He's getting all the credit,because when they came back, you
feel me, you got a littlemessage saying hey,
whoop-de-whoop, whoop-de-whoop,and because of Trump we got this
(03:01):
thing back.
And because of Trump we gotthis thing back.
So all the social mediacreators that make a living off
of TikTok you know what I meanwith their content or whether
it's a TikTok shop they seemlike they were very, very
grateful.
That's kind of dope.
And then there's a lot ofspeculation saying, oh, it went
away and it got back, so he canget that under his brim, you
(03:21):
know what I mean and say I didthat, right, right, you know
what I'm talking about.
So were y'all affected by it?
When everybody woke up and theysaid, oh shoot, it was really
gone, did y'all expect it toreally go away?
Did it impact you at all oranybody you know?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, so I'm not a TikTok guy, but the way I was
affected was CapCut and CapCutis my.
Yeah, I was hurt.
I didn't even know so when Iwent in there I completely
forgot.
I was like whoa, tiktok gone.
I forgot they're the owners,wait.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
TikTok is in charge of.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
CapCut yeah, that's their app.
Oh, I didn't know that CapCut,and my dumb ass deleted it, so
now I don't even have it.
What you don't have.
So because they came back, youcould use them.
Right, apple didn't put it backin the store I don't have.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
TikTok.
So this is making sense now.
This is why them phones goingfor 10 bands.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
That's exactly why Because?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
the phone had TikTok, still Boom.
Ah, you start wanting to buy aphone.
I did not understand that.
I'm like, bro, just get a phoneand download the app.
Why is the phone now worth$10,000?
You ain't downloading no more.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Oh, you ain't downloading.
No more, yep.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Gangsta want to get a part of the app.
Thank God, boy.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I just said, it is what it is, but I ain't go ahead
and jump and delete it.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I said it is what it is, but I ain't go ahead
and jump and delete it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
What about CapCut?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I can't get it.
I deleted it I deleted it.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
It's gone.
Hey boy, I got a phone goingfor five days.
Right now I'm trying to haveTikTok to get everybody.
Hey, I ain't saying but hey.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
You know, if you know , you know, I forgot so I'm like
yeah, I don't care, whateveryou're on, everybody's body,
everybody's crying about tiktok.
And then I go open my app andall of the edits that I had is
gone.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Videos almost finished yeah, that's that hurt
bro rent out my cap, that's thathurt right there, fam.
That's that hurt.
I didn't delete that, but nowit's making sense to me when you
say that.
It's making so much sense to methat that's what was going on
with it.
I didn't register the two, soI'm out here looking for
something else like it.
Well, you were fine.
(05:34):
I'm sure you were fine, thoughyou were definitely fine, Well,
Facebook you already know theyin there, they making one coming
soon.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They got one coming soon Coming soon, just like it.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay, okay, I respect that.
That's crazy.
Do y'all know anybody who wasaffected, though?
Anybody who was like on TikTokheavy, who made a like, who make
a living off of it, Like, nah,me?
Neither, I didn't know nobody.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I don't know if it would be easy to ask Nobody's
going to really about to sayit's kind of hard to.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
If you're relying on it like that, it'll bother your
pockets for sure.
That'd be tough to just asksomebody I don't know.
Okay, I didn't know if anybodywas like you know, you know,
like yo, this is how I make myliving, or it's a part-time gig.
They generate such and suchamount of dollars.
Sure, but it also is telling me, guys is how I took.
It is like, especially when you, you, you are artists, athletes
(06:26):
, no matter what you are ifyou're using the platform and
you gain a following, we can'tonly solely rely on that
platform for everything.
Like I, still confused, likewhat happened to having your own
website?
We don't got so used to socialmedia that you know, nobody has
their own website, no more.
So like, yeah, I want to usethis platform, but I'm going to
still be directing traffic towhat I really got.
(06:47):
So let's just say this websitedoes ban me or shut you down or
go away.
You're not stuck.
You got the contacts, whetherit's email, whether it's the
text message through phone.
We've got to have another wayto stay in contact with your
fans.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah, that's just crazy to mewhen I saw that, I'm like man,
that's crazy, but we'll stickwith it.
(07:10):
Man, it's back now.
We'll see for how long, becauseI know Trump said he won't have.
He want the US to have half ofthe ownership.
So this is going to beinteresting to see if they budge
.
And if that happens, becausethey're saying you know it's a
lot of money on the line withthis app, it's crazy.
A lot of bread flow through it,all right.
Topic number two we got is theplayoff predictions.
(07:33):
Man, you know what I mean.
I know we heartbroken with theRavens.
You know we heartbroken withthe Ravens.
You know it was a good game.
Now do y'all think weatherplayed a factor, or it just
wasn't their best game.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Definitely weather.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I just think the team won 100% man and you went back.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
You're still sticking without.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Yeah, bro, because this Baltimore they playing that
weather, Like they playing thecold, it's cold up there, True,
so, True.
So the team just wasn't 100%.
Man, Like to go the distance,you got to have that 100% team,
like all the way around.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Agreed.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You got to.
That's why Mahomes always win.
It ain't just him, it's histeam.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
As a whole.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yeah, that was tough, man.
We wanted to see home time.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Zay Flowers, bro.
I think once Zay Flowers wentdown, it was like man.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Here we go.
Yep he got to I mean.
But I think and I don't know.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
You asking other guys to step up, like out of nowhere
and it's not saying that theycan't, but you ask some guys to
do that and that's what happened.
That's what kind of results youget.
It ain't their fault.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Their morale was broken, man.
Yeah, they got broken from thebeginning.
They broke their morale fromearly on.
When they started the game,they looked like they weren't in
it.
They were slowly, slowly butsurely, losing their morale.
Bro, you saw, they was readyfor that L.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It was close.
But I think when you got twogood teams, I guess we expect a
low-scoring game.
And it wasn't as action-packedbecause nobody was throwing the
ball as deep as you anticipated.
It was really quick one, two,three releases and there was a
lot of run.
I I was just surprised that theydidn't use derrick henry as
much.
(09:29):
I think that was the only thinglike that.
You know cook, is it cook forbuffalo?
Is it cook?
Yeah, but I mean they didn't.
But when we kept feeding them,when I saw that I would see him
every nine, then he'll go andhit that.
You know he would get the firstdown every nine.
Then it started off slow, butevery time they did utilize them
and kept feeding them, he wouldget it and cook.
(09:50):
On the opposite side it lookedlike it was.
I just was expecting derrickhenry to show up a little bit
more.
I wanted them to utilize them alittle bit more.
And mark andrews, he didn'tthrow it to them a lot
throughout that game withouthaving zay, I was expecting a
little bit more catches from himtoo.
But man, likely Bateman, hedoes have three other weapons,
though Slam.
(10:10):
I know he said Zay, but theyshowed up Besides the drop and
the fumble from Andrews.
He usually is clutch.
He's going to give you somehighlight catches and a
touchdown.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Yeah, he can only do so much.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Steph ain't punching.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
We need everything.
Yeah, if you don't beat me, I'mnot even talking about this
game specifically, I'm justsaying beat me, holmes, that's
what you need, 100%, the fullteam.
You need to save flowers andmaybe even a little bit more.
I would like to see theRedskins and the Chiefs, I guess
(10:52):
, because I know it's going tobe the Chiefs, the Bills not
beating the Chiefs, so I'm goingto go ahead and say the
Redskins and the Chiefs.
The Redskins would be nice.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
I would like to see the Redskins go too.
I meant the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I'm sorry, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
They did change it yeah, commanders.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I still say Commanders.
It's going to take me a whileto get the.
Yeah, you're right, I'd like tosee the Commanders win it all,
man.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I'm with you bro.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
I'm a father yeah, so I don't think they're going to
let it happen.
I don't think they're going tolet it happen.
They're going to make sureMahomes win the three-peat bro.
He's three-peating bro.
Yeah, that's going to be thestoryline.
The quarterback didthree-peating.
That's going to be thestoryline, bro.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
It's gonna be a story line, bro, hey, and if it and
you know what?
If that's how it plays out, man, that's how it's supposed to
play out.
You know, I ain't gonna knockon nobody.
Uh, greatness and and, and weall know, you know, although
sometimes it does look like therefs favor them, we can't, we
know, we got to call it how wesee it, all right, so that's.
That's just where we at with it, man, but it's gonna be
interesting.
I'm really excited for for it,though, and I guess we'll see
(12:09):
what happens tomorrow, you know.
I mean, with these last four,four teams in it, we'll be able
to see who's gonna make it tothe super bowl.
With that being said, do y'alldo like super bowl parties y'all
?
Y'all host, y'all, attend y'all, y'all, rather, go to a bar,
yeah we used to do it all thetime.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
We met up in one place, we watched a game, we'd
buy some food you know what I'msaying.
We used to get ribs.
All that, yeah, we did it thelast two, three years.
Was it the last three?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
years.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yeah, three years ago .
Okay, we did it back to back toback, but we took a break.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, I like going now.
Somebody invited me to a SuperBowl party.
I'm there, you feel me.
I like to bring something, likeI usually like to ask what you
already got, or do you want meto bring anything Now?
I'm that kind of guest.
You know, I'm going to ask youand bring something now, but as
long as I don't got a host,because when it's time to go,
(13:02):
you know that feeling of Packingall the leftovers and storing
it in the fridge.
That's the ones that be gettingme like, damn, I want to be that
dude who was like, hey, I canget a to-go plate and gone, take
off, I'm with you.
Yes, sir, yes sir, we'll seewhat's going on with it.
So I also want to talk aboutman.
(13:22):
I want to talk about prettymuch lyricism in commercial
music.
Man, I don't know how y'allfeel with the atmosphere right
now in today's industry, but doyou feel like everybody's just
trying to chase a quick hit?
Or I mean, I don't even know ifwe want to say radio friendly,
no more, because I don't thinkradio is breaking music how it
used to.
It's really social mediaplatforms and pretty much, uh,
(13:45):
what you call social influencersare getting out of credit now.
But do we feel like we chasinghits and you know I mean, or or
do we still have enough peoplegiving you bars, aka lyrics, in
today's music?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
I'm trying to think.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You think it's getting back the lyricism.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You think it's getting back the lyricism.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
I think it's getting back.
I thinkism you think it'sgetting back to lyricism.
I think people are hungry forit.
Yeah, I think it's getting back.
I think it's still a lane forthe other stuff, but I think
people want the bars back.
It's in demand.
It's in demand.
So if you really can sit, thenyeah.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, I can see it coming back slowly but surely.
Yeah, most definitely, I cansee it coming back slowly but
surely.
Yeah, most definitely, becausea lot of the stuff that I can't
even think of one right now, youcan't think of what Like
something that's trending rightnow, that's that got some really
good lyrics on it and we're allplaying it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Everything is.
This is why I'm like you know,if you are artists who like to
rap, rap or you like to, youknow you like to, you're
passionate about the craft.
You, you know, I mean you youare giving what they call a
lyricism like does it generatefunds enough for you to keep
wanting to do that?
I think that's the dilemmasometimes, where artistry is
like, yeah, I could make thiskind of music and I want to, but
(15:01):
y'all not gonna pull up theshows or y'all not streaming it
how I see these other recordsare streaming, so I'm gonna make
records that cater more to that, because I see that's what the
label either is telling me to door the fans are gravitating to.
So why would I put myself in aposition where I'm not gonna be
able to feed my family?
(15:21):
I know it sucks, but you knowyou think about most people who
paint.
They're known for what they'reknown for.
They don't got to switch it up.
You like this painter becauseof whether they draw with their
fingertips or they use a certainstencil or you know, whatever
it is, they use oils.
Some people carve on walls.
You like that for that right,and we don't ask them to change
(15:42):
that.
We want to see that everysingle time, but with us or
anybody who's an artist, it'slike nah, we want you to rap on
this kind of beat.
I need you on a little babybeat, I need you to have a Migos
flow.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
It's like Migos already doing that.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So why can't I do something different?
Why my ad-libs can't bedifferent?
If you already got amigos, youalready got whoever was known
for something.
You already got a Jeezy withthe.
Yeah like you gotta bringsomething different to the table
.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
And that's what you just gotta stay true to you, and
I think a lot of us get trappedinto trying to follow what
people want us to do, you knowwhat.
I'm saying what's going onright now, what's popular?
You just got to stay true toyou and that's going to work out
the best way for you.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
So I want to bring up something.
He said something that's keystaying true to you, right.
So I want to bring up whenKodak did the feature with
6ix9ine he never mentioned aboutstaying true to me he brought
up that's a million dollars.
What I look like?
Not taking a million Although,buddy, although my music don't
align, you know what I'm saying.
(16:54):
Well, what he did, no matterwhat the situation I'm granted,
no matter how he feels the world, was able to see that and know
what.
That was right, because, sameway I mean, if that's the case,
look at briscoe I literally feelbriscoe never recovered from
his situation.
You know what I'm saying.
So I'm just trying to get to thepoint where, when we say that
(17:16):
too is like damn so, whenkodak's like, well, it was a
million dollars, so I did it,what I look like not to take a
million for a 16 bar, like.
I guess that's why I'm like see, I still think, no matter what
it is that money man will makeartists do whatever it is for
the bag yeah, outside of moralsand and what your fans really
(17:36):
know you for not.
It sucks because.
But I think when you come fromthe underground man, you've been
doing this for so long andyou've never always seen money.
We look at it totally differentfrom someone who's been getting
millions.
That's fair, you know what Imean, because I mean how many
free shows has an independentartist has done to get where
he's at.
You know what I mean Before youseen a dollar.
(17:57):
You know what I mean.
How many free beats you know?
Know you spending hours andhours on a beat?
You know what I mean God knowsto to you.
Know you, you invested in yourcareer to be like all right, I'm
gonna put some of these outthere on the house to start to
build a name for myself.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I just think hip-hop that Iloved and fell in love with when
(18:20):
I started.
It's not the same.
You know what I mean and I feellike I don't know who's in
charge of getting it back tothat.
Is it the OGs?
Is it the younger generationembracing what the older
generation was doing?
I don't know how we get back tosome kind of foundation you
know what I mean when it'srespected.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I think it's hard because hip-hop is more of a
popular thing than it was backthen.
Everybody is doing it, you knowwhat I'm saying.
So it's like you have thepeople that's been doing it, you
have people that's doing it forfun.
Now you know what I'm sayingthere's more people in it, so I
(19:01):
don't feel like there's nobodythat can really control that.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Nobody's storytelling , no more man.
It's really a wide-open field.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
It's a wide-open field now.
The barber is a rapper, thevideographer is a rapper.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I mean, I'm just being for real, that's just how
it is now.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Why is that though?
Why you think everybody wantsto be a rapper.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Because it's the popular thing.
Yeah, everybody who don't wantto express themselves.
And once people see like, oh, Ican do it, like you can do it,
I can do it, it's like it's oneof those things, you know, it's
like more of a hobby than an art.
Oh yeah, it's like a hobby.
Everybody see everybody elsedoing it and they popping it.
(19:48):
I got followers already.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Let me rap now, and it's like we don't have enough
cameramen, we don't have enoughmanagers, we don't have enough
photographers.
We don't have enough roadmanagers, we don't have enough
publicists.
I don't think I've ever metsomebody in my all my years of
doing music who told me yo, Iwant to be a publicist.
You know, I'm saying oh yo I'mfinna go pick up the.
(20:12):
You know, I'm finna go pick upthe camera because you know I
see I could be more of an assetto artists who want to express
themselves.
You know, I guess everybodyfeel like it's a short route huh
.
If you're famous and popular,it's a dangerous job.
You know what I'm saying.
Yeah, it's.
I guess I don't know if it'sjust jewelry or we see the cash
(20:37):
a quick come up, but it's apretty dangerous job.
It ain't the easiest thing outthere that come with security
watching your steps.
You know what I'm saying.
You in different cities, hotelsyou know the shit.
You gotta learn how to maneuverin a hotel when you're an
artist.
You know the signs what to lookfor To do something, how to
(20:57):
move kids.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
You know, what I'm saying you can't just move
around Regular like you?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
regular, and that's the thing, right?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
You can't even move around regularly, like, you,
regularly like, and that's thething, right, you can't even go
out and just shop on like aregular day, like if you want to
.
You never know what happens.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That is the one thing I would tell you that, like,
when I met T-Pain early in hiscareer, I remember we was in
Atlanta and you know we got achance to ask him questions.
It was a roundtable, a goodamount of us artists, and when
(21:30):
we're speaking on it, that wasthe biggest thing he left us man
.
He was just like you know, justbe mindful.
Like you know I mean this.
Yeah, you gotta see this now,but you gotta keep in mind that
regular person, like whoever youare, your regular life you
forget about it once you hitthis level.
You know, trying to go to thestore, trying pump your own gas,
there's certain things that youwas able to do and go about
your business.
That's going to change.
So when he kind of said that, Iwas like damn, that just sucked
(21:53):
with me a little bit Like whoa,I kind of like you know, you
like how things is right now,how you can go certain places
you can go out to eat, and noteverybody wants to take a
picture, interrupt you everyfive minutes.
I couldn't imagine.
Yeah, you want that limelight, Iget it, but you also got to
know what it's gonna come with alot, yes, uh, it's gonna come
(22:13):
with a lot.
So that's what?
Uh, I think we all got to bemindful of that.
Come with it, got the pros andthe cons.
So no, I'm Mm-hmm.
So no, I'm excited to see it,man.
I'm excited to see rappersbring back lyrics.
I'm excited because everyonewas saying and this is another
thing I want to get at whenTikTok went away, everyone said,
okay, now everybody has to be arapper again.
(22:36):
Like you know, because a lot ofpeople felt like that's going to
be the like, it's going to killthe TikTok music, where it was
just a quick, catchy littlehooker, you trying to get a dope
ass, eight bars and it was overand you lived and you were
relevant because, oh shoot, I'mon TikTok.
So I don't know if y'all sawany of that, but that's what a
lot of people were saying.
They was like excited and nowit's back.
(22:58):
So that's interesting to me.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Hey, man, if that work for people, man, let it
work.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You know what I'm saying no, go ahead, it's just
like the streaming game.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Just like with the streaming game, van, with the
gaming and all that.
Everybody else want to do itbecause everybody else is doing
it.
It's the trending thing, butit's still a grind.
It's still a grind.
It's kind of like right nowwhen Castanet go live.
Everybody get mad.
They lose all their viewersbecause everybody went to him.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
It's just like that do he announce when he go live,
or he?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
just when you, because if I follow you, I get
an alert.
I get an alert, my phonevibrates and let me know you're
live.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Oh, yeah, that's true .
Yeah, yes, that's true.
So now everybody is just likethat Slam.
You say you're on Twitch too,right, yeah, I'm on Twitch.
Yeah, I might have to get you.
Okay, yeah, for sure.
Because now I'm about to say Ido get the alert when you go
live.
I just be like oh shoot, let mesee what Draco doing, whether
he working on the hook or Iwatch him game a little bit but
it is like oh shoot, let me seewhat he got going on.
(24:00):
You know what I mean,especially when you don't know
what you're going to get withyou.
You're making a beat.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Are you singing?
If you're?
Speaker 1 (24:06):
writing that's dope.
Well, yeah, it's just like muchman.
Relationships with social mediaIs everything meant for social
media?
Do you feel like social media,no matter what, is going to play
a role in your relationship intoday, because everybody's on it
(24:28):
?
God damn it.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I guess only I say this because I saw a video with
a married man and his wife inthe back, but I say that because
I guess, with the activitiesthat you like to do, I guess it
may not be a problem with theactivities, but like I don't
like to go as far as my wholehouse.
(24:53):
You know, when it comes to thehousehold or showing what I got,
I hate doing that, but I guessit just depends on the activity.
If I'm away from home, you knowwhat I'm saying, or we out of
town.
I think I'm going to flick itup.
I don't mind that.
But the closer I am to home,the less you're going to get it
and if we're out having an eventthat I understand.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
But I like to keep a lot of weight is it required.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
But like, do you if your partner's like well, I
don't know if you really love me, you ain't posting me on your
platform?
I want everyone to know we acouple, does that do anything to
you?
Do you feel like that matterswhen they're like oh well,
you're not posting me?
Um, you post your music, youpost this.
You do that like should thatmatter always, like it's more,
like I'm trying to protect, likelisten, if I do happen to do
(25:41):
that, I'm gonna do that, butthis is more.
This is private here.
You know this is you feel me I?
Speaker 4 (25:45):
feel both.
I'm kind of in the middle yeah,me too okay I'm like, I'm like
on both sides because, like, Ido feel like it's better to keep
stuff private, like off socialmedia, like from my experience,
like.
But also I be seeing peoplelike in a whole relationship and
(26:06):
they don't post their person sopeople be at them.
You get what I'm saying.
It's like I be, like I ain'tfinna be a secret.
Nah, you know what I'm saying.
I ain't saying you gotta postme a thousand times secret.
Nah, you know what I'm saying.
I ain't saying you got to postme a thousand times, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
All right.
So how I feel, you know how Ifeel, right, right, I think it's
different for the ladies man,because if you're running a
business, let's just say Allright, all right.
I got to ask you, van, now Holdon, alright.
Alright, I gotta ask you, van,now hold on.
Here's a question let me put itthis way if you're in a
relationship your relationship,she knows what you do, you know
(26:41):
all this other stuff and you'restreaming, you know you.
You know you got some.
You know you got some.
You know people in the chatthat normally is always, you
know, throwing some flirting.
You know some flirting DMs atyou, but they only there because
they like you there.
Right, they come to yourchannel because they like what
you got in your channel, theylike what they see or they like
(27:02):
what you're doing.
You know what I'm saying.
So now, how do you explain thatto your significant other?
Like, hey, I got these peoplehere sometimes just to see me,
that's it.
And they sub to me.
They donate to me.
I can't so would you.
Would you say you're?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
single yeah, like I have that with music, yeah, so
so?
Speaker 3 (27:25):
so do you claim the single status, or do you claim?
Speaker 4 (27:27):
that, like these are my fans like right, right.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
But here's the thing I'm not gonna entertain.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
I'm never gonna entertain my fans like my real,
true fans, like he's never gonnago to okay.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
But here's the question, though like, do you
say, like you're gettinginterviewed, hey, you single or
you are you in a relationship?
Because that's what a lot ofthe fans be wanting to hear.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
I always say I'm in a relationship like I never stuck
with that.
Oh, you gotta be single.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
So the fans like, like they like when you're in a
relationship, like they like tosee for me a relationship.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
Like they like to see for me, like I think I was
doing that before it became coolLike rappers showing their girl
.
They're putting them in thevideo, like I've been doing that
Like.
I've been showing my girl off,Like I've always been that type
of person.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
But that's why I was saying I'm in the middle,
because it kind of like messedstuff up.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
You know what I'm saying as soon as you post them
now you got 100,000 mutualfollowers the next day.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
What the?
Speaker 3 (28:25):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
I'm in the middle too .
I'm in the middle too.
That's just how it go, bro.
So you showing off yoursignificant other.
It's other people like.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, the envy, though there's good envy and
envy is bad envy.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
That's how it go, bro , and that's the messed up part
about social media.
You know what?
I'm saying Back then themotherfucker couldn't see you
post your girl in there like, goon her DMs and get at her.
But that's how it is, man, it'sa new world, sheesh.
Yeah.
So I'm in the middle with that.
(28:59):
But I feel like at the end ofthe day, it's all how you react.
Facts Like if you entertainingthat you know what I'm saying,
then that's disrespectful.
Because if your girl wasstreaming or whatever she was
doing working at the shop, youwouldn't want her entertaining
people.
That's flirting with her.
So you got to keep it.
You got to keep it on an evenplaying field.
(29:21):
Like hey, you know what I'msaying.
Listen, respect my lady, that'sit.
I understand you're a fan andyou might be attracted to me,
but hey, I got a girl, that's it.
That's all it is.
You know, don't let it go pastthat.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I say that cause I know there's so much that don't
care.
That's why I said that.
What?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
you saying like fans, yeah, they don't care what that
?
Speaker 3 (29:48):
you got a girl yeah, they don't care, that's not and
they have the right not to.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
What loyalty do they owe to your girl Like they don't
know her?
You the one who owe the loyalty, like?
So that's what I'm saying.
Like it's all up to the way youreacted.
If you on there flirting back,then yeah, you know she gotta
handle it up.
Speaker 1 (30:18):

Yes, it's the beginning of the year, so we'll
go through some tips and justkind of guide your starting
point for the year and somethings that you can go ahead and
put on your calendar.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
All right, awesome, awesome, awesome.
So listen and I know some of uswho do have things we have to
deal with we try to do thatcheckup once a year.
I know that's important.
If you're not, we want guys togo right, but at least that once
a year for your yearly checkupis important, right?
Speaker 5 (31:53):
Yes.
So I say, if I don't see youfor the entire year, I at least
want to see you once a year andthat's going to be for your
annual physical, some blood work.
So if we have some things thatkind of go wonky throughout the
year, at least I'm onlybacktracking a year and not two
years, five years, ten years,because you've lost care.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Why do you think?
I'm trying to understand,because I know even some of my
friends.
I'm always telling them, likeyou should definitely get
checked up.
But why do you think us menwe're more stubborn to going to
the doctor?
Or is it for male and female?
Do you see that in both?
Speaker 5 (32:33):
I would say male and female.
I'll probably see my femalepatients a little bit more often
but a general mistrust and then, especially when we're dealing
with African American community,just things that have happened
in the past, so building thatrelationship.
Sometimes it's hard to find aprovider that looks like you, so
that kind of contributes to thelevel of mistrust.
(32:54):
I can say for myself I'm ahealthcare provider.
I'm not as good as I should beabout going to the doctors
because I've had my ownexperience where I've gotten
wrong diagnoses and I'm notgoing to go in there like I'm a
healthcare provider.
Well, I'll let them do theirthing.
(33:14):
But at the end I'm realizinglike I've been misdiagnosed at
least twice.
I've had a doctor tell me likeare you sure you don't have
mental retardation?
Well, what do you mean?
So I get it.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
And.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
I try to make sure like building those connections
with my patients so that you dofeel comfortable.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Oh OK.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
OK, I'm with it.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
That that you do feel comfortable, oh, okay, okay,
I'm with it that that that makessense to me, that makes sense
to me.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
So usually men now I'll see men.
Men are either gonna come.
They're gonna come in becausetheir girlfriend made them, wife
made them, mama made them, oryour penis is threatened like
that's usually when I want tosee men yeah, that, that'll do
(34:02):
it.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
No, that'll do it, that'll do it.
Is there anything that's likeprobably more common than others
?
Are there signs?
Um, I guess, outside of tryingto just be healthy and doing it,
are there any certain signsthat we should be looking for
that might tell you that?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
hey, you know, maybe something is wrong as far as
health is concerned um, I mean,usually if you're seeing signs
we already have have a problem.
So my job I'm a primaryhealthcare provider so my job is
to keep you healthy.
Once we get to the point whereyou already have issues, my job
(34:44):
is to help those issues kind ofstabilize and not get worse.
Already having issues, weprobably already have a problem.
So usually those things aregoing to be maybe weight loss,
weight gain, and both areunexplained.
You don't know why you'relosing weight, you don't know
why you're gaining weight.
Maybe having headaches.
(35:05):
Sometimes headaches can berelated to high blood pressure.
Maybe changes in urinationYou're urinating too much,
they're not urinating enoughthirst.
So sometimes those things aregoing to be clues for me that
you may have an issue with highblood pressure, you may have an
issue with diabetes and thoseare probably going to be the
(35:26):
more common.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
OK, that makes sense.
No, that makes sense.
I mean just just definitelyimportant.
So how is it working now withour services that you offer
Cause I know you can do virtual?
They don't have to come to youconsidering where you're based.
So how does that work if onedoesn't?
Speaker 5 (35:45):
know home visits, so kind of bringing back that old
school healthcare where I cometo the home and then I do
virtual.
So I can do virtual for theentire state of Florida.
Some visits aren't appropriatefor virtual.
So if it's something that Ireally would want to see or I
(36:06):
need to listen to your heart,listen to your lungs or actually
put eyes on you, then usuallyvirtual visits may not be
appropriate, but otherwise mostkind of urgent care issues we
can do over virtual.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Or I have patients come to my office or I go to the
home, okay, okay.
So, viewers, just make sure youkeep in mind we can do this two
ways right, in person orvirtual.
So that is an option, whetherit's on the phone or a laptop,
right?
That's when we say virtual.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
They could do it both ways, yeah, virtual we say
virtual, they could do it bothways.
Yeah, virtual, yeah.
And then my, my patients.
I try to make it easy,accessible.
So my patients usually they cantext me.
Hey, this is going on, and Idon't usually know my patients
fairly well, so I can text themback.
Well, hey, let's hop on zoomreal quick.
Or if I know I'm like, hey,I'll just go ahead and send you
(36:53):
a prescription.
So it's a little bit different.
I'm a concierge, direct primarycare.
So it's similar to a gymmembership, netflix.
You use me as much as you needto.
If you need to see me moreoften, cool.
If not, that's fine.
But you just pay a monthly fee.
So it's a little bit differentfrom your traditional health
(37:14):
insurance.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Gotcha, gotcha.
So I guess I'm looking at this.
I feel like it's more common,especially in black men.
We're looking at high bloodpressure, diabetes, and I feel
like there's a lot more peopleon dialysis.
I know my father was on it.
He almost did almost 10 yearson dialysis, but I feel like
(37:37):
dialysis always existed, butit's not something I saw in my
culture until that generation.
Is this something that you'reseeing too, and what can we be
doing to avoid these, these topthree?
I don't I don't even know ifthat's safe to say those the top
three, but I feel like they'reso common, yeah, so we won't say
(37:58):
top three.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
But, when we think about like major health issues
in a black community, usuallywe're on the top of the charts.
For all of them Blood pressure,cholesterol, heart attacks,
strokes, cancers we're usuallygoing to top the charts.
So things that we can do isgoing to be your primary health
care.
So, like I said, if I'm seeingyou, I do birth through death.
(38:20):
So if I'm seeing you as a kid,I'm seeing you as a young adult,
through maturity, as amiddle-aged adult we're going
through every year I'm checkingyour blood pressure, I'm
checking you for diabetes.
You don't have to worry aboutgetting to the point where
you're on dialysis.
If that is the case, hopefullywe've already identified those
(38:44):
labs that are abnormal early.
So that's why I said, if Idon't see you, but once a year
at least I can go back and I'llsee the changes in your blood
work so we can stay ahead of it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Gotcha.
No, thank you.
That's great information, drago, that's great information
actually Okay.
I'm soaking this in too, okay.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
Slam, you got anything over there?
Slam, I'm tuned in.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Oh yeah, he look like a student over there.
He's like yeah, payingattention, okay, I got my little
bag.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
Paying attention.
It over that he's like.
He's like, yeah, payingattention, okay, and usually, um
, I share with uh georgio, it'skind of like a checklist.
So you have think about it as acar.
So your car, usually if you geta new car, older car, you have
your 5,000 mile maintenance,your 10,000, your 15,000.
Our bodies don't tell us thatwe don't have a check engine
like that comes on and let usknow it's time to get this check
, um.
So that's why if you stay on itonce a year, you're kind of
keeping up with it.
Usually about 40 is when thingsstart changing and you're going
(39:56):
in a little bit more often andwe're checking kind of bigger
things.
So, I have a routine and I'llshare the link with you.
I have like a routine checklistand it's a general checklist
men and women and on thatchecklist it tells you at what
age, what interval, so how often, you should have these things
checked.
So if you feel kind ofoverwhelmed about either
(40:18):
starting or being reintroducedinto healthcare, this checklist
is kind of like where you canlook.
You look up your age, youfollow that down and it tells
you the things that it's timefor.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (40:33):
So I'll say for us, I'll assume late 30s, 40s.
Okay, so I'll say, for us we'llI'll assume late thirties,
forties, and for you I'll focuson men.
There's going to be four thingsthat I'm going to say like
those are kind of going to bethe things we need to start
looking at.
Okay, that's going to be colon.
So we're looking for coloncancers, prostate, prostate
cancers.
(40:53):
Uh, we're looking fortesticular cancer and then
breast cancer.
Men do get breast cancer and ifyou don't think about that, by
the time we recognize you have abreast cancer, you're usually
pretty like advanced.
Speaker 1 (41:08):
When do they start checking this?
I've never heard a man have abreast cancer.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
So unfortunately, like when you're going for your
annual visit, your primary maynot do a breast exam.
If your primary is not doingone, I usually recommend men and
women you should be checkingyour chest breasts at least once
a month, and it's some easy.
You can do in the shower.
Um, usually I review withpatients how to do it.
(41:35):
Um, if you're in a relationship, I think as far as like
practicing intimacy, having yourpartner do it for you, so
having your partner like eitherway.
Having your partner check yourbreasts, having your partner, um
, they ain't gonna check yourcolon, but do you recommend?
that go ahead, no, okay I don'tknow what they do for men I
(42:01):
would recommend your partner ifyou have a female partner, male
partner, whatever they can checkyour breast and they can check
your testicles.
Um, because you're pretty muchjust looking for both, you're
looking for something that wouldfeel can check your testicles,
because you're pretty much justlooking for both.
You're looking for somethingthat would feel like a frozen
peak.
So, if you're not rememberingto do it, and your partner
should have an idea like babe,you remember feeling this, like
what the person that sees youundress the most, like both of
(42:23):
you should have, like anunderstanding of each other's
body.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
OK oh, that that now, that is dope.
Speaker 5 (42:34):
I don't think we I don't't.
Yeah, I just know that's not adiscussion.
Right, that's not something toaverage, it's a test of
relationships because, like Isaid, like it puts you, it makes
you kind of vulnerable in thatrelationship, but again, that's
the person.
Like you're having sex with theperson they're seeing you on
dress.
Why wouldn't that person knowyour body?
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Facts, facts, facts Gym of the day.
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yeah, that's what I'm about to say.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, that did feel like a gym of the day.
That was really good.
No, that was really good.
I'm actually thinking now Now,yeah, you over here, like let me
yeah.
Speaker 5 (43:04):
I need you to go ahead.
Who else can you ask?
You remember saying this to melike who else can you ask?
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Yeah, there's no one else comfortable that you can
actually have that conversationwith Right.
Yeah, no, that was good.
Okay, no, I'm with it.
Speaker 5 (43:17):
I am with it.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
So with the chart, I know you shared it with me and
I'll definitely share it withthe fellas.
What else can we learn fromthis?
This is the forties.
The forties we talked aboutthat feeling making sure we can
check on each other, right, ifyou're in a?
If you're in a relationshipalready, that is dope.
Uh, anything else we can bedoing.
Speaker 5 (43:41):
Um, eating right and when I say eating right, I'm not
talking about eating a saladevery day, because, to be honest
, I'm not going to do it, um,but just putting good things in
your body and everything inmoderation.
Alcohol, black men, like wehave, like we have to do better
like y'all have, and women too,because I mean women drink so
just monitoring how much alcoholyou're consuming.
(44:04):
Okay, tobacco, so I have.
I ask about drugs, recreationaldrugs.
I don't ask because I'm gettingready to report you to police.
I ask because I need to knowwhat your habits are and what I
need to be aware of and lookingout for.
So when I ask do you smoke?
No?
Okay, my follow-up question isprobably going to be do you
(44:27):
smoke marijuana?
Yes, how do you smoke it In ablunt?
A blunt is tobacco.
So now I have to be aware, like, okay, how long have you been
smoking?
Do I need to order a chestx-ray?
Am I looking for lung cancers?
Because technically you are asmoker, you're smoking marijuana
, but you're smoking it out of atobacco possible nicotine
(44:48):
product.
So if you tell me you're usinga pipe or you're vaping out of a
tobacco possible nicotineproduct, um, so if you tell me
you're using a pipe or you'revaping, a little bit different,
I may not be as concerned.
I still need to give you theeducation.
Smoking is bad.
Drugs are bad, yeah, but I meanthat's what it is.
So the basics, the foundation,everybody, if they come in and
they're complaining about stuff,our foundation is drinking
(45:11):
water, eating properly, okay,exercising, getting sleep.
That's your basic gotcha.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
And when we say sleep , what six hours?
What would be the six hours?
Is it still six hours?
Is that it can?
Speaker 5 (45:25):
be anywhere from six to eight but, people function
differently.
Um, it depends on how well doyou feel.
If you're getting eight hoursand you still feel crappy, as a
provider, I need to know that,because do you have sleep apnea,
like you're rested but you'renot waking up rested?
Um, if you can survive all fourhours, that just may be your
(45:48):
habits, and if you've had thathabit for a long time, as long
as it's not affecting yourhealth, I usually don't bother
patients too much.
But if you're surviving off twohours, that's probably just not
healthy because it's not givingyour body enough time to rest.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
I kind of feel like for me, it woke me up, I think
we all.
When you're on the grind, youthink, oh, I got to get it, I
got to get it, I got to grind.
You know what I mean?
Don't nothing come to a sleeperbut a dream.
But it wasn't until, like Ifeel like Rick Ross' scare of
not getting enough sleep it kindof taught me like ooh, he
pretty much what happened.
I was like, okay, there's a,you got to have a balance of
(46:31):
this.
You do have to rest.
You know what I mean.
No matter how much money youget, you got to rest I mean you
have to recharge your laptop,your cell phone.
Speaker 5 (46:44):
Like we give those breaks, we put them on chargers.
Like it's not, your body's notdesigned to just keep going,
keep going.
Eventually it's going to poopout.
Um, so, usually, taking cluesfrom yourself, most of us, we
know our body.
You know when you need rest,you know when you need water.
Um, we don't always listen, butusually your body is going to
(47:05):
tell you what it needs facts.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
I notice a lot of metaphors to like you know,
breaking it down and comparingit to real life.
Is that something you have todo in your field to get meant?
I mean to get people tounderstand, like, do you see a
light bulb go off when youcompare it to like a laptop?
Or you know like tune in yourcar.
Speaker 5 (47:26):
I try to, because that when you're saying like why
people kind of avoid doctor'soffices if you're coming in and
I'm using all these big fancywords and you leave and you feel
like you really haven't gainedanything, you haven't learned
anything, I haven't done my job,so at the end of a doctor's
visit you should have an idea ofwhat happened that visit and
(47:50):
what your plan is down the road.
So I usually try to think ofsome kind of analogy to compare
it to real life.
So you do have that like ohokay, that makes sense.
So I try to do it a lot just tomake sure you understand and
you're not leaving in a worseposition than you walked in and
you're not leaving in a worseposition than you walked in.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
Gotcha, gotcha and I guess my last question that I
have is just with CMOS.
Does CMOS fix everything?
Because I feel like, sinceCOVID, it's kind of like you
want to lower your bloodpressure, take CMOS.
You want to fix yourcholesterol, take CMOS.
You just want to be all aroundhealthier CMOS.
So now I see everyone got aCMOS water, cmos, lemonade, the
(48:33):
paste I see it all over so isCMOS.
I don't know.
Is CMOS what it really is, thehype, what we're seeing on the
internet?
Is it true, and does that fixeverything, like the way it's
presented?
Speaker 5 (48:48):
So this is my position on natural therapies.
Like one, a lot of times we endup following trends.
So let's say, a while agoeverybody was on herbal life,
like.
So we usually go through thesecycles of trends.
My position is, if I have apatient, they come in and we
identify high blood pressure andthey're like well, I don't want
(49:09):
to go on blood pressuremedicine, I want to do some sea
moss, I want to do juicing, Iwant to do like whatever.
I'm fine with that and we'llagree on the time frame.
So let's do a month.
We'll check back in.
If it's gotten better, cool.
If it hasn't, now I get to takeover.
(49:31):
So I usually try to useevidence-based practice.
So if there's evidence, thatmeans has CMOS been studied?
Have they done a clinical trialwhere they've taken patients,
they've given CMOS to one set,they've given placebo, so
nothing to another set.
Was CMOS superior?
Superior?
If I haven't looked or seen astudy that says, yep, sea moss
(49:54):
is really going to work again,I'm going to let you do your
thing because there may be apsychological benefit.
You taking this sea moss andbeing on a regimen may make you
eat better, may make you drinkmore water, and it is having
benefits where your bloodpressure is reduced.
I'm cool with that.
But, if we come back in a monthand it's not looking good, we're
(50:17):
not doing.
I mean, you can keep doing CMOS, but we about to add this
lisinopril and this goodamylodipine to that regimen,
gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
No, I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Great information, dragoanything.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
No, she actually covered what I wanted to ask
that 40 mark and us going to goget a.
You know what us men need to doat 40.
Yeah, so I don't know.
I've known men around me thathave it and I've known men that
have, so I know it's somethingthat's bothering me.
You know coming up because it'saround the corner a little bit,
(50:52):
but, um, uh, you actuallyanswered the question so I took
it out of the way.
Good, good, all right all right, slam anything piggyback on you
just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (51:03):
so with colon screens , if you've had a family history
is 10 years.
So let's say dad, granddad,brother, brother, if they were
diagnosed, so we don't screenuntil about 45, but let's say
they were diagnosed at 45.
Right, you do 10 years earlier.
If I have a patient like youplease don't go in my mood, so
(51:31):
there are other tests so thereare dna tests.
So if you've seen the commercialwith a little man on the toilet
, you poop in the container, youmail it off.
So that is actually looking fordna of colon cancer.
So if I have a patient that isabsolutely like I ain't doing it
.
I ain't doing it.
Speaker 4 (51:50):
At least we have a happy medium.
Speaker 5 (51:52):
We have other options .
So at least I'm keeping an eyeon you.
You doing it.
Speaker 1 (51:58):
I'm doing that one.
Speaker 4 (52:00):
I'm doing that one.
Speaker 1 (52:01):
You're doing that one .
I didn't know that one existed.
That's good to know.
Though that is good to knowthat we have an option.
Speaker 4 (52:08):
Yeah, that'd be scary .
That's scary.
Speaker 1 (52:15):
And that's what most people think.
Speaker 4 (52:16):
I mean to be honest, I don't know this person and
they just gotta violate me.
Speaker 5 (52:20):
I don't know, you won't even be awake, so you'll
remember, but you won't reallyremember.
Like you'll be in twilight,okay.
Speaker 3 (52:29):
I don't remember.
Okay, I don't remember.
Okay, okay, okay, it don't feelgood today, okay, so the
process is now you're asleepBecause I didn't know that.
Okay, okay, so what we see inthe movies is not real.
Okay, got it.
Speaker 1 (52:43):
You are not awake, you don't even know what that is
, when you in the movies that'snot real right, the movies are
not going off the movie base.
Speaker 5 (52:54):
Look, you just wake up and we hand you tissue.
Speaker 3 (52:56):
That's okay, no.
Speaker 4 (53:03):
I can't, yeah, nah, I put it in the bag.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
And question two.
So you said if it's in yourfamily history, you recommend
taking it 10 years before.
What was that?
Jamie said?
Speaker 5 (53:17):
Usually insurances will pay for you to do it 10
years before.
So, it's 10 years before thediagnosis, so if a brother was
diagnosed at 38, you're probablygoing to be screened at 28.
So it's just a 10 year to tryto get a screening before the 45
registered.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
Slam you, alright, man slam, he just comes.
Speaker 5 (53:43):
The day just took a turn for my dog the good news is
, the good news is, once youhave it done and you're if it's
negative, you don't do it againfor 10 years.
Speaker 3 (53:54):
Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 5 (53:57):
So if that brings any kind of you, don't do it again
for 10 years.
Speaker 1 (54:04):
Okay, I think we all, yeah, we can work with that, we
can work with that.
Speaker 4 (54:08):
I can't do it dog.
Speaker 1 (54:09):
We can work.
We got to, but that's theproblem.
That's kind of like.
This is kind of the reason why,like I know, but you got to
think about it Ten years, man,that's a good little minute and
I have to do it again.
We'll work on it.
I'm going to make sure it's agroup the way we plan trips and
(54:31):
everything else.
I'm going to make sure all mydogs get it done.
Speaker 5 (54:35):
That would be a good if you have a group of male
friends and y'all try toschedule it and be a support to
each other.
That would be that would begreat.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
None of those guys showing up.
None of them showing up.
Speaker 4 (54:45):
There's got to be another way, another way,
another way, another way.
Speaker 1 (54:54):
Oh man, I appreciate it.
That's good.
That is good.
No, that's good, I guess.
With this being said, what madeyou get into your field, so the
viewers have a betterunderstanding, what made you get
into the field that you're inand how long have you been in
the field?
Speaker 5 (55:10):
understand it, what made you get into the field that
you're in and how long have youbeen in the field?
So I have been a nursepractitioner since I graduated
nursing in 05.
So I've been in health caresince 05.
I became a nurse practitionerin 09 and what kind of motivated
me is actually my sister, so Ididn't really have an idea what
(55:30):
I wanted to do.
And she had like a majorsurgery at like eight or nine
and just being involved in thatprocess, seeing her in the
hospital, seeing how they tookcare of her, like that was
probably when I started kind ofnoticing and being interested in
healthcare.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Okay, that's awesome 2005.
Yeah, that's a long time.
So, for the viewers now whowant to reach out, who want to
follow you, who want to hit youup and get any needs they need,
how can they follow you?
What's the best way to reachyou, kia?
Speaker 5 (56:06):
Best way to reach me is actually text.
Like I said, I text my patients, they text me.
If I have people interested, Itext you back.
So text is probably the fastestway.
