WEBVTT - Going Blind 

0:00:00.030 --> 0:00:04.930
<v Speaker 1>It's Mojo in the morning. So last week, I was

0:00:05.370 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>leaving my house. I pulled out of my driveway. I

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:10.600
<v Speaker 1>got to the end of my street, and I couldn't

0:00:10.660 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>see anything. All of a sudden, everything went, like, completely blurry.

0:00:14.900 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>And it was wild because I have a Tahoe from

0:00:17.980 --> 0:00:22.220
<v Speaker 1>Bob Maxey Chevrolet, and my Tahoe has the speed limit

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in the windshield.

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:24.860
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah.

0:00:24.900 --> 0:00:26.500
<v Speaker 3>So you can see it on the windshield there. Interesting.

0:00:26.890 --> 0:00:28.730
<v Speaker 3>And all I could see was the speed limit. And

0:00:28.770 --> 0:00:29.229
<v Speaker 3>that was it.

0:00:29.450 --> 0:00:31.030
<v Speaker 1>It was like, you know, in the speed that I

0:00:31.070 --> 0:00:33.330
<v Speaker 1>was going, which was zero at time because I stopped.

0:00:34.370 --> 0:00:35.990
<v Speaker 1>And it was crazy because I was like, what is

0:00:36.030 --> 0:00:38.449
<v Speaker 1>going on with myself? I couldn't see. So I had

0:00:38.470 --> 0:00:39.650
<v Speaker 1>to like find my glasses.

0:00:39.690 --> 0:00:41.950
<v Speaker 4>This is the day you came in with your glasses.

0:00:42.190 --> 0:00:43.370
<v Speaker 3>I wore glasses last week.

0:00:43.470 --> 0:00:45.490
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I come in here with my glasses and I

0:00:45.550 --> 0:00:47.550
<v Speaker 1>say to Shannon, I go, it was the craziest thing.

0:00:47.710 --> 0:00:50.150
<v Speaker 3>I could not see. I was like blind.

0:00:50.729 --> 0:00:54.030
<v Speaker 1>Shannon says to me, did you know that people who

0:00:54.070 --> 0:00:55.670
<v Speaker 1>are on the shot are going blind?

0:00:56.290 --> 0:00:58.370
<v Speaker 4>I did not say going blind.

0:00:58.390 --> 0:01:00.250
<v Speaker 3>That's not what I said. Good luck. I'll see you later.

0:01:00.290 --> 0:01:03.770
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to go put some audio in.

0:01:03.810 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not true.

0:01:04.700 --> 0:01:07.060
<v Speaker 4>I said, I know a lot of people who are

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 4>on the shot that say that they are having trouble

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.680
<v Speaker 4>with their vision all of a sudden. That stuff is

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.990
<v Speaker 4>getting blurry and fuzzy and whatever.

0:01:15.050 --> 0:01:15.130
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:16.750 --> 0:01:18.910
<v Speaker 4>They have not experienced that before. And you were like,

0:01:18.930 --> 0:01:20.470
<v Speaker 4>that's me. That's exactly what happened.

0:01:20.550 --> 0:01:22.050
<v Speaker 3>Everybody thought that's a thing.

0:01:22.090 --> 0:01:23.370
<v Speaker 4>This is like a side effect.

0:01:23.410 --> 0:01:24.070
<v Speaker 3>I'm on the shot.

0:01:24.450 --> 0:01:26.130
<v Speaker 5>I thought it was going to be COVID that was

0:01:26.190 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 5>going to get everything else. I was the GOP.

0:01:29.310 --> 0:01:32.220
<v Speaker 3>I think COVID got us too. But listen, don't start

0:01:32.260 --> 0:01:34.819
<v Speaker 3>that discussion with me. But let me say something to

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.860
<v Speaker 3>you real quick. It wasn't. Not that.

0:01:38.620 --> 0:01:41.980
<v Speaker 1>I put the same contact in both of my eyes.

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 1>So I have two different contacts. For two different eyes.

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:45.809
<v Speaker 3>Oh my God.

0:01:45.900 --> 0:01:48.180
<v Speaker 1>And I put the same, all of a sudden I'm looking,

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going, why do I have an extra left side?

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 4>Explain to me why your contacts are different. Like why

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:55.900
<v Speaker 4>do you have a different prescription? Well, each eye is

0:01:55.940 --> 0:01:56.700
<v Speaker 4>a different eye.

0:01:56.940 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 3>So that's one.

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.620
<v Speaker 1>But also I wear contacts for one for nearsighted, one

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:06.500
<v Speaker 1>for farsighted. Shout out Direct Optique and Mariana. So one

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of your eyes is farsighted, the other is near? So

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I have, so this eye right here.

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:12.420
<v Speaker 3>See that one?

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.540
<v Speaker 1>I can see far with that one. This eye right here,

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.500
<v Speaker 1>I can see close. Isn't that crazy?

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:18.139
<v Speaker 4>When he explained this to me, I was like, I

0:02:18.340 --> 0:02:20.370
<v Speaker 4>did not know that that could happen.

0:02:20.430 --> 0:02:23.570
<v Speaker 3>But here's the thing. I can see perfectly.

0:02:24.169 --> 0:02:28.090
<v Speaker 1>I can see clearly now. The rain has gone.

0:02:28.110 --> 0:02:30.389
<v Speaker 5>So with both eyes, you can just see in the middle?

0:02:31.050 --> 0:02:33.250
<v Speaker 5>So with both eyes, I can see in the middle.

0:02:33.270 --> 0:02:34.070
<v Speaker 5>Does it even out?

0:02:34.110 --> 0:02:34.470
<v Speaker 3>Hold on.

0:02:34.510 --> 0:02:39.900
<v Speaker 1>Can you see this? Okay, so here's an interesting thing.

0:02:40.590 --> 0:02:43.730
<v Speaker 1>With this shot, there's already been two bad things that

0:02:43.750 --> 0:02:44.549
<v Speaker 1>have come out with this.

0:02:44.830 --> 0:02:47.350
<v Speaker 3>What was the first? Your hair loss. Oh, we heard

0:02:47.370 --> 0:02:49.210
<v Speaker 3>about that. Which he's already experienced. We heard about that.

0:02:49.310 --> 0:02:53.250
<v Speaker 3>Hair loss. Now it's eyesight. It's going down. And it's

0:02:53.290 --> 0:02:56.610
<v Speaker 3>got me. What's next? It's got me thinking. Like, I

0:02:56.630 --> 0:02:58.250
<v Speaker 3>was thinking about this last night. What if your penis

0:02:58.270 --> 0:03:02.070
<v Speaker 3>falls off next? I don't need it. I'm okay. Yeah,

0:03:02.340 --> 0:03:04.140
<v Speaker 3>I'm good. I don't need it. I'm good.

0:03:04.380 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'll be a Ken doll as much as

0:03:06.820 --> 0:03:12.169
<v Speaker 1>I possibly can. Here's the interesting thing. I actually have

0:03:12.250 --> 0:03:14.829
<v Speaker 1>kind of weighed back and forth. Like, do I want

0:03:14.850 --> 0:03:17.050
<v Speaker 1>to continue to do this thing? You know, like I

0:03:17.090 --> 0:03:20.570
<v Speaker 1>feel good. I actually feel like I've, you know, lost

0:03:20.669 --> 0:03:22.869
<v Speaker 1>weight and I, I know I have, cause I've seen

0:03:22.889 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the scale go down, but I feel like I'm actually

0:03:25.340 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>losing weight. Like I feel like I'm, you know, feeling.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.940
<v Speaker 3>A little bit better, a little looser clothes. I'm wearing

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 3>different sizes, you know, which is the thing.

0:03:32.700 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 1>So it comes to a point where I feel like

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>this drug is like, have you ever seen on TV,

0:03:39.380 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the commercial of, I don't even know what drug it is.

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.380
<v Speaker 1>There's a drug that, in the end, it will tell you. Like,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the commercial is a 60-second commercial. 32 seconds of the

0:03:50.340 --> 0:03:53.870
<v Speaker 1>commercial is all the great things that this drug does.

0:03:53.990 --> 0:03:56.620
<v Speaker 4>And it's always somebody frolicking and canoeing.

0:03:56.810 --> 0:03:57.430
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's amazing.

0:03:57.870 --> 0:04:01.690
<v Speaker 1>The last 30 seconds of the commercial is everything it

0:04:01.730 --> 0:04:04.470
<v Speaker 1>will give you, including anal linkage, you know?

0:04:04.610 --> 0:04:05.030
<v Speaker 3>And death.

0:04:05.110 --> 0:04:08.510
<v Speaker 4>Death is always the best. And possibly death. And the

0:04:08.530 --> 0:04:10.860
<v Speaker 4>way the lady says it is like, You want it?

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:04:11.500 --> 0:04:14.620
<v Speaker 3>Like, and possibly death. It's like, honey, you.

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>And I now have had the best sex we've ever had,

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:23.289
<v Speaker 1>but you have anal leakage too. So, so I asked

0:04:23.330 --> 0:04:27.070
<v Speaker 1>this question to, to you guys, is there like, is

0:04:27.089 --> 0:04:28.469
<v Speaker 1>there something that you kind of like.

0:04:28.410 --> 0:04:29.150
<v Speaker 3>Have to weigh?

0:04:29.190 --> 0:04:31.510
<v Speaker 1>Like you weigh the, the good with the bad on

0:04:31.570 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>certain things like this, you know, like going blind.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.510
<v Speaker 3>Okay. but I'll go blind skinny.

0:04:38.529 --> 0:04:42.450
<v Speaker 4>I'll be honest with you. If I'm like, I have asthma,

0:04:42.610 --> 0:04:47.050
<v Speaker 4>like really bad asthma. I have crazy allergies. I'm, you know,

0:04:47.290 --> 0:04:50.310
<v Speaker 4>starting to go through the super fun perimenopause. And so

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 4>there are a lot of medications that I'm either currently

0:04:53.070 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 4>taking or contemplating taking. And if one of the side

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.390
<v Speaker 4>effects is weight gain, and I'll be vain here but

0:04:59.430 --> 0:05:00.410
<v Speaker 4>very transparent, I'm.

0:05:00.350 --> 0:05:03.330
<v Speaker 3>Like, I don't know if I want to take it.

0:05:03.710 --> 0:05:05.050
<v Speaker 3>That's why I got off birth control.

0:05:05.070 --> 0:05:06.710
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if that's going to be one of the side

0:05:06.730 --> 0:05:11.470
<v Speaker 4>effects that there's weight gain, I'm like, I don't know.

0:05:11.529 --> 0:05:15.570
<v Speaker 4>It depends on if the good outweighs the bad, right?

0:05:15.670 --> 0:05:18.130
<v Speaker 3>As with anything. But what if you can't breathe?

0:05:19.190 --> 0:05:20.930
<v Speaker 1>Like what if all of a sudden you die, you

0:05:21.010 --> 0:05:23.390
<v Speaker 1>suffocate yourself, but you'll suffocate skinny?

0:05:23.420 --> 0:05:25.740
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what I have to think about.

0:05:26.770 --> 0:05:29.089
<v Speaker 3>I'm joking. No, of course I would choose to breathe.

0:05:29.529 --> 0:05:31.410
<v Speaker 3>I'm just saying if that, if that, like Dr.

0:05:31.430 --> 0:05:33.510
<v Speaker 4>Werner and I have all these conversations about certain things

0:05:33.570 --> 0:05:34.990
<v Speaker 4>and he's like, yeah, you know, there might be some,

0:05:35.330 --> 0:05:38.910
<v Speaker 4>some people experience weight gain. I'm on steroids right now.

0:05:39.089 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 3>Steroids make you gain weight.

0:05:40.060 --> 0:05:40.150
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:05:40.180 --> 0:05:45.650
<v Speaker 3>But like, I, I, To your point, I have to

0:05:45.690 --> 0:05:46.710
<v Speaker 3>be on prednisone right now.

0:05:47.350 --> 0:05:48.950
<v Speaker 4>I actually am having trouble breathing.

0:05:49.029 --> 0:05:51.089
<v Speaker 1>Mark has done that before where Mark has said to me,

0:05:51.110 --> 0:05:53.029
<v Speaker 1>you know, because I wasn't feeling good. And Mark said

0:05:53.070 --> 0:05:55.310
<v Speaker 1>to me, hey, you know, steroids, but there's a little

0:05:55.330 --> 0:05:58.859
<v Speaker 1>bit of weight gain. I'm like, forget it, Mark.

0:05:58.920 --> 0:05:59.739
<v Speaker 3>I don't want anymore.

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 4>I usually will say no, but sometimes I'm like, I

0:06:02.140 --> 0:06:03.420
<v Speaker 4>can't do this every day.

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.300
<v Speaker 3>I have to take something. Hold on, blind Claudia. I'm

0:06:06.339 --> 0:06:10.359
<v Speaker 3>about to join you, Claudia. What's going on? Oh, my goodness.

0:06:10.820 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 6>You guys are not ready for what I have to say.

0:06:14.779 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 6>So everyone has been talking about this GLP-1, whatever it's called.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:22.980
<v Speaker 3>Yes.

0:06:23.500 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 6>You know what? I've been taking them way back when,

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.339
<v Speaker 6>before they were called GLP-1.

0:06:30.380 --> 0:06:32.870
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 6>I lost a lot of weight.

0:06:34.850 --> 0:06:37.110
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Is that the reason why you can't see? I

0:06:37.110 --> 0:06:39.010
<v Speaker 3>lost a lot of weight. Is it?

0:06:39.310 --> 0:06:43.050
<v Speaker 6>Well, I mean, no, I lost my weight. I lost

0:06:43.110 --> 0:06:47.900
<v Speaker 6>my vision. Because I did not take care of my health.

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:50.100
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:06:50.260 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 6>This is what people are misunderstanding. You can blame it

0:06:57.420 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 6>on whatever you want, but at the end of the day,

0:07:02.620 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 6>you have to take care of yourself.

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:06.729
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Claudia. That's what I'm doing.

0:07:06.750 --> 0:07:09.330
<v Speaker 6>These GLP-1s, they are amazing. Yeah.

0:07:15.380 --> 0:07:21.630
<v Speaker 1>So, Claudia, you didn't go blind from the diabetic medicine.

0:07:21.670 --> 0:07:23.690
<v Speaker 1>You went blind because you didn't take it soon enough.

0:07:25.310 --> 0:07:28.650
<v Speaker 6>No, because even people were trying to say, when you're

0:07:28.690 --> 0:07:32.470
<v Speaker 6>taking metformin, because I am a diabetic. I am a

0:07:32.530 --> 0:07:39.270
<v Speaker 6>type 2 diabetic. So, when you're taking metformin... They also

0:07:39.330 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 6>try saying, when you were taking the glucofudge, that also

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 6>made you blind.

0:07:50.940 --> 0:07:55.140
<v Speaker 3>Okay. I just don't want them to take my foot. No, no, no. Yeah.

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing. I don't want to lose my foot.

0:07:57.230 --> 0:07:58.860
<v Speaker 3>You feel me? You know what I mean? Like, you

0:07:58.880 --> 0:07:59.900
<v Speaker 3>know how they've said that before?

0:07:59.940 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Like they said, if you're diabetic, you can like lose

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a limb and stuff like that.

0:08:03.100 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. You have to get amputation. Cut your feet off.

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.660
<v Speaker 3>I don't want it. I know. I want my foot.

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.010
<v Speaker 3>You would give up sugar. I'll give up everything. Keep

0:08:14.030 --> 0:08:15.870
<v Speaker 3>your foot. Give me my foot.

0:08:16.310 --> 0:08:18.430
<v Speaker 5>Like my grandma had this thing and this was, this

0:08:18.490 --> 0:08:21.430
<v Speaker 5>is where they would get me. I love popcorn. Popcorn

0:08:21.490 --> 0:08:23.550
<v Speaker 5>is like in his own food group for me.

0:08:23.730 --> 0:08:23.950
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 5>And going to the movies, I love it. Imagine's popcorn.

0:08:27.100 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 5>I remember my grandma had something. I feel like diverticulitis

0:08:30.500 --> 0:08:31.140
<v Speaker 5>is coming.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.130
<v Speaker 3>Into my mind. I don't know what it is.

0:08:32.140 --> 0:08:32.340
<v Speaker 5>Oh, yeah.

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.079
<v Speaker 3>You're not supposed to eat popcorn.

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:33.540
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:08:33.700 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 5>So she had that. I couldn't imagine being diagnosed with

0:08:36.179 --> 0:08:37.059
<v Speaker 5>that and being told.

0:08:36.870 --> 0:08:38.290
<v Speaker 3>I can't have popcorn. Can I tell you something? I

0:08:38.309 --> 0:08:39.449
<v Speaker 3>got early stages of that.

0:08:39.690 --> 0:08:43.610
<v Speaker 1>Really? My sister Tracy had diverticulitis. Can't have any seeds.

0:08:43.750 --> 0:08:47.070
<v Speaker 1>Can't have any popcorn. I got that in my family.

0:08:47.190 --> 0:08:47.990
<v Speaker 3>Jesus, take me.

0:08:48.309 --> 0:08:53.079
<v Speaker 1>My dad didn't give me anything when he died in

0:08:53.260 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>his will.

0:08:54.170 --> 0:08:56.860
<v Speaker 3>The only thing he gave me was bad health. That's

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.300
<v Speaker 3>what he gave me. Thanks dad. Inherited that from you.

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:01.579
<v Speaker 3>What's going on, Kathy?

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Hi, how are you?

0:09:04.020 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Good.

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I was just going to listen to your show and

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:10.660
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about losing your hair along being on the shot.

0:09:10.700 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>And I was just going to suggest, I had the

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.680
<v Speaker 2>same problem a couple of years ago. Um, and I

0:09:16.700 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't even realize it till my hairstyle was, that's something

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:24.140
<v Speaker 2>that my hair was spinning. And, um, I believe that

0:09:24.179 --> 0:09:25.380
<v Speaker 2>you need protein.

0:09:25.580 --> 0:09:28.939
<v Speaker 3>Yes. More protein. Yeah.

0:09:29.300 --> 0:09:31.559
<v Speaker 1>My doc just, uh, I just did a blood test

0:09:31.580 --> 0:09:34.870
<v Speaker 1>to test, uh, all, all my blood, but, uh, yeah,

0:09:34.970 --> 0:09:35.970
<v Speaker 1>I got to eat more protein.

0:09:36.010 --> 0:09:41.290
<v Speaker 3>Question for the hairless. Yes. Question for the hairless. You too.

0:09:41.410 --> 0:09:42.449
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:09:43.990 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 5>Do you guys, does the hair loss only happen on

0:09:46.580 --> 0:09:47.839
<v Speaker 5>the top of your head or is it like a

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:48.740
<v Speaker 5>full body loss?

0:09:49.620 --> 0:09:49.830
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:09:50.350 --> 0:09:51.030
<v Speaker 2>My whole head.

0:09:51.110 --> 0:09:51.210
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:09:51.410 --> 0:09:53.470
<v Speaker 2>It was thinning. It was really thinning.

0:09:53.670 --> 0:09:55.630
<v Speaker 3>My back hair is still there. Fubes.

0:09:56.340 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I got them.

0:09:57.940 --> 0:09:58.600
<v Speaker 3>And they're long.

0:09:58.700 --> 0:09:59.500
<v Speaker 6>Oh, gosh.

0:09:59.620 --> 0:09:59.860
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

<v Speaker 3>How long are your pubes, Kathy? Kat would like to know.

0:12:03.530 --> 0:12:06.290

<v Speaker 3>Okay. So we're praying.

0:12:13.929 --> 0:12:14.189
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:12:14.429 --> 0:12:16.270
<v Speaker 3>Pray for Mina. Quite quick question.

0:12:16.290 --> 0:12:20.000
<v Speaker 1>What were your, what were your signs like symptoms that, that, uh,

0:12:20.540 --> 0:12:22.210
<v Speaker 1>did you have anything or they just find it?

0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 7>Um, for like five years, I, I was having, like,

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.699
<v Speaker 7>pains in my lower left side and couldn't figure out why.

0:12:29.740 --> 0:12:31.819
<v Speaker 7>I just thought, because I'm 44, I'm, like, starting to

0:12:31.860 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 7>go through the woman change.

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:34.460
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.750
<v Speaker 7>And I had, like, a week where I couldn't use

0:12:38.770 --> 0:12:41.490
<v Speaker 7>the bathroom, and I went in, and they did some

0:12:41.530 --> 0:12:44.530
<v Speaker 7>scans and sent me home thinking it was just, like, inflammation.

0:12:44.550 --> 0:12:47.229
<v Speaker 7>And then I went back a couple days later, and

0:12:48.050 --> 0:12:50.290
<v Speaker 7>I had a golf ball-sized tumor growing.

0:12:50.309 --> 0:12:50.990
<v Speaker 3>Oh, my gosh.

0:12:51.790 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 1>You know what's unbelievable, Mina, is you actually bring a

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>perspective to the fact that all you want to do

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.459
<v Speaker 1>is be healthy. And it's interesting because so many people like,

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.990
<v Speaker 1>you know, you worry about how you look.

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.429
<v Speaker 3>You want to lose weight. You want to do all

0:13:06.450 --> 0:13:06.890
<v Speaker 3>this stuff.

0:13:06.970 --> 0:13:08.870
<v Speaker 1>And then all of a sudden, one day you find

0:13:08.929 --> 0:13:10.890
<v Speaker 1>out a diagnosis of stage four cancer.

0:13:11.370 --> 0:13:13.069
<v Speaker 3>And you're like, what the hell is this all about?

0:13:13.110 --> 0:13:13.490
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:13:13.550 --> 0:13:15.630
<v Speaker 3>So also, if anything, now, like.

0:13:17.350 --> 0:13:17.630
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead.

0:13:17.650 --> 0:13:18.010
<v Speaker 7>I'm sorry.

0:13:18.190 --> 0:13:20.710
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm so happy you called because I feel like

0:13:20.750 --> 0:13:23.870
<v Speaker 4>it's such a good reminder of we make excuses for

0:13:23.990 --> 0:13:28.140
<v Speaker 4>all the things instead of saying like more so being

0:13:28.900 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 4>just yeah, like just go see your doctor, schedule a

0:13:31.540 --> 0:13:35.610
<v Speaker 4>doctor's appointment like you. That's such a good reminder of

0:13:35.660 --> 0:13:36.350
<v Speaker 4>doing that.

0:13:38.230 --> 0:13:40.390
<v Speaker 7>I tell everybody now, like, don't put off.

0:13:40.650 --> 0:13:40.949
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:13:41.150 --> 0:13:43.429
<v Speaker 7>Don't put off going. Like, if you feel it might

0:13:43.470 --> 0:13:46.750
<v Speaker 7>be something, it's better to be wrong and you be

0:13:46.830 --> 0:13:48.030
<v Speaker 7>fine than.

0:13:47.929 --> 0:13:48.850
<v Speaker 2>You to put it off.

0:13:49.050 --> 0:13:50.910
<v Speaker 7>And then you end up with something that they may

0:13:50.970 --> 0:13:52.390
<v Speaker 7>not be able to get. Like, I have to be

0:13:52.429 --> 0:13:54.010
<v Speaker 7>on chemo the rest of my life.

0:13:54.330 --> 0:13:54.710
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:54.770 --> 0:13:57.590
<v Speaker 7>But I'm handling everything good. And like I said, I'm

0:13:57.630 --> 0:14:00.110
<v Speaker 7>not getting sick from it. So my life expectancy is

0:14:00.150 --> 0:14:01.670
<v Speaker 7>still very, very good.

0:14:01.700 --> 0:14:02.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're here and you're healthy.

0:14:02.740 --> 0:14:05.780
<v Speaker 6>But it's just the same because, yeah, like.

0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.100
<v Speaker 7>I'm actually pulling into.

0:14:06.980 --> 0:14:07.820
<v Speaker 4>The hospital right now.

0:14:08.220 --> 0:14:09.430
<v Speaker 3>Okay, what hospital are you going to?

0:14:10.980 --> 0:14:11.660
<v Speaker 7>Huron Valley.

0:14:11.900 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, all right. I'm about to schedule a doctor's appointment.

0:14:13.900 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 7>They've come a long way. I know they didn't have

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 7>a good reputation for a long time, but they've come

0:14:18.090 --> 0:14:18.950
<v Speaker 7>a long way.

0:14:19.150 --> 0:14:19.870
<v Speaker 3>Question for you, Mina.

0:14:19.910 --> 0:14:20.850
<v Speaker 7>And they've been amazing.

0:14:21.230 --> 0:14:26.510
<v Speaker 1>How do you think I would look? Skinny, bald, and blind?

0:14:28.450 --> 0:14:30.790
<v Speaker 7>I think men need to have meat on their bones.

0:14:30.910 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 7>Women are not supposed to be the bigger ones when

0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:35.900
<v Speaker 7>it comes to that. So I think you should just.

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:36.350
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead and.

0:14:37.010 --> 0:14:40.030
<v Speaker 7>be you and enjoy life and everything that offers and

0:14:40.050 --> 0:14:41.370
<v Speaker 7>stop worrying about being skinny.

0:14:41.710 --> 0:14:45.500
<v Speaker 3>I love you. Thank you. Fat boy. Um, Mina, have

0:14:45.540 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 3>a great day. Good luck with your appointment.

0:14:48.860 --> 0:14:50.060
<v Speaker 7>Thank you. You all as well.

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:50.540
<v Speaker 1>Bye.
