Episode Transcript

(00:00):
All right, we keep talking aboutit, maybe a little more in depth
if you will, now that we'redoing the podcast this episode up. I
tell you what, and that isdonating body parts to your friends. You
can't have mine, Well I don't. I don't want yours. Actually,
you don't want. If I everneeded a kidney, you would be my
first request because you don't drink.I don't drink, don't. I don't

(00:25):
drink a lot. Yeah, Butwhat's going on here between Selena Gomez and
her long time best friend, uhFrancia Raisa. She uh, she got
a kidney from Francia, and nowFrancie is a little pissed because Selena's drinking
and Francia gave her the kidney.So this it could be one of two

(00:48):
things. It could be I gavethe kidney, Why are you abusing it?
Right? Like it's my kidney?But I don't think it's like that
because most of this is conveyed throughher father, Francy's father. Um,
it's probably more like, why areyou drinking when you had a kidney issue
before? And I gave you akidney, a healthy kidney of mine,
and now you're you're putting your healthat risk, which is making the friendship

(01:12):
fade. So, yeah, whatdo you say to somebody, you gave
him a kidney? To me,I give somebody a kidney because they drank,
and I want him to keep drinking. Kidney because she was a drinker.
Drinker. No, I'm just sayingfor me personally, my friends that
drink and be like, yeah,let's keep you going off. Let's keep

(01:33):
it going off the wagon a littlelonger. Here, you're on the wagon.
Are off the wagon? How doesthat work? But you're on the
wagon when you're not drinking, right, you're off the wagon. Yeah,
let's get you off the wagon andget your back. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I get you. Yeah. But they never tried to stop anyway
because the kidney told him not to. And you know what, they don't
take the ructions from their kidneys.They don't like being told what not to

(01:55):
do. Then they go get anotherkidney, a good, healthy one,
and I'm all for it. Justdrink away. Who gives a ship your
drinking buddy. Selena has lupus,right, I think that's what she struggles
with. So she has lupus,and that's why ultimately it was that the
lupus is what I think impacted herkidneys and cause her to need a kidney
transplant. Anyway, my main kindof feeling on this is that I think

(02:19):
that once you give someone your kidney, it is now their kidney. And
I understand her maybe being a littlebit like I understand where she's coming from
if she's upset at Selena drinking.But if Selena is drinking at the point
where this is an unhealthy drinking problem, just be worried about your friend and
totality and be there for them thatshe might need that, not saying that
that's what's happening. This story didn'tspecify that she actually has a serious drinking

(02:44):
problem, But I mean, worryless about the little piece of Selena that
you had a pardon, and worrymore about the totality of your friend and
her mental health, her physical health, all of it. And I don't
know, I get where she's comingfrom. But ultimately, also though my
other folks here is why is thedad going and speaking to people about this?
It is really stay out of it. From what I saw, so

(03:06):
paparazzi was waiting outside of frent Whydo I say her name wrong? Friend
Francia's like apartment. She was walkingher dough. I'm just the rest I'm
gonna call her Selena's friends. Shewas walking her dog, and then paparazzi
was trying to pest her and shewouldn't answer any of the questions. And
then Dad popped on some zoom calland was like, Hey, the reason

(03:28):
that they're not friends is because ofSelena drinking after my daughter gave her her
kidney. Now, Francia has neversaid anything bad about Selena ever ever,
and Selena has never really said anythingbad about her either. She just when
she talks about friends, she doesn'treally talk about her. That's the only
thing that's ever been called out.So I think there is an extreme love

(03:50):
for each other on that aspect.But I had heard rumor that she had
started drinking pretty much right after thesurgery. This was a while ago.
You got to assume that whatever medicationthat you take to help with not rejecting
an organ was going to conflict withwhatever alcohol you're drinking. Like that does
seem like a poor choice to bedrinking at all, yes, but especially

(04:14):
medications that they could conflict. Butby the way, I mean, I
make a lot of poor choices ofSaturdays. I honestly though, I see
your point, but I would bepissed. And I know that it's not
my kidney anymore, but the factthat I went through the surgery, it's
harder for the person who donated it. There's a lot you're using part of
yourself. So they were saying thatSelena would do this amazing glow up because

(04:35):
their body hasn't had an organ thatit needed, while the other person will
really have more of a glow down. Not that she did. She's gorgeous
and beautiful, but health wise,working out, wise, having a normal
life, it's harder for her.So if you went through all of that
and you realize that your friend isn'treally taking care of what you gave up
for her, I'd be pissed.If they got my kidney, oh god,

(05:00):
they would have the stones that comewith kidneys, and it would be
like that would be the ultimate payback. Like if Francia had kidney stones and
she never told Selena, and maybesomething was brewing beforehand in the relationship or
she didn't like her, She's like, yeah, here have on a mine.
Here's a kidney, right, producesless stones for me and more for

(05:21):
you. Bring it on and thenalso team tear Team all those stones came
flying out of there. Would yougive your kidney a way to have less
stones? Um? While I'm passingone, yes right now feeling okay,
No, if I needed your kidney, would you give me? Would you

(05:43):
give me your kidney? Here?No? You no, you didn't need
to finish your sons. I wastrying to give you a little puppy dies.
What if I really? Sam?On the other hand, what why
have because they drink and have myheart? I don't think that's really kind
of not necessarily why because you'd haveto Sam has the bonnet of purity,

(06:04):
pulls it off, it gets allevil. It always reminds me of her,
like little house on the prairie witha bonnet on, you know,
throws it down. It's the bonnetof purity that just rolled off my tongue
the other day, and it's soperfect. Can you wear a bonnet to
work some day that I don't havea bonnet? We'll get you. Yeah,
you can give me one and Idon't wear it. What were we
talking about? Body parts? Andyou know what if I don't know,

(06:30):
I'm sure i'd be allowed to givesomebody kidney. I don't think stones stopped
that that may be something more ofa dietary thing. There's a but some
I don't know. I mean,but some I know some people. Some
people just they don't have anything onthe oxalate list. Like there's this list
that I have of all the stuffthat's supposed to start kidney stones. Yeah,
I know we're branching it off here. And I don't hit any of

(06:54):
that anymore. And I haven't fora while, and no, and I
haven't had a kid but but itwas I didn't hit most of that stuff.
And I drink a lot of water. I don't drink diet soda.
I don't drink anything that other thancoffee, which is technically a diuretic which
can dehydrate you to a certain degree. But I do drink water all through
the day. And I still hadthe stone episode a few times in my

(07:14):
life. So some people's bodies justproducing. We talked to that guy on
the phone who does nothing, butremember Joel does nothing but drink water,
nothing on the Axlet's list, andoh my god, but it just but
it's something. It's just somebodies makehim maybe some for but for a lot
of people. It is certain thingsthat will produce them, like spinach.

(07:38):
Spinach is nasty if you really,I guess it can create it is.
It's great for you, but itcan create kidney stones. It's that's one
of the things on the list.Salt is terrible. Chips, right,
well, I do, but Ilay back on those the last couple of
years. Peanuts maybe, so Istopped all peanut butter a couple of years
ago. So we'll see most ofthe stuff on the list, most of

(07:59):
the really rich kidneys don't producing stuffI don't eat anyway. Yeah, so,
well, there's good or bad forme. I don't. I don't
need it anyway. And somebody's justproduce them not. Come on, do
you haven't had one in a while. Oh, give them your kidney.
I can't. I won't blow up, I'll go backward. You do it.
