1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Calm Down with Aaron and Carissa is a production of

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Hey, no episode. I don't know what

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: number we're on, but I'm just so happy that we're

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: on six or seven. I think six or seven or

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: maybe eight. Well, I've got exciting news about the number

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: seven because we got a little hint about what the

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: number seven maybe detrimental to your relationship. Dr Oz is

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: going to join us later. This guy is the most

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: interesting man that you should definitely invite to your next

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: dinner party because we've all been vaccinated hopefully or will

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: be by the time this airs. Dr Oz is a dream.

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: He will be coming up later in this podcast. But

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: right now, Aaron and I are are a quest to

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: ensure that the viewers are getting what they want. We

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: asked questions and you guys answered. We appreciate all of you, Aaron,

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: the questions that we asked. We're all about relationships, right Yeah.

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: And I got this idea from our good friend Ryan Russelo.

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: He just said how much on he would have on

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: his show when people would submit emails or questions or

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: d m s to him, and he'd I love him

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: so much. Even talked about after his arrest, people wanted

22
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: to know if they could he could offer life advice.

23
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, I'm going to

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: steal this from you and we're gonna do it. Do

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: you mind? And he said, no, have at it. So

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: this week particularly, we asked people for dating if they

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: wanted dating advice. I don't know why we became you know,

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: the gurus on that, but our first question is do

29
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: nice guys really finished last? What I mean basically, yeah,

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: do do you guys have to be dad? Like? What

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: do you think? Go? Alright? Alright, right, so let's back

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: up here real quickly. Ryan Still, who's like one of

33
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: our well, he is our best guy friend. Ryan right

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: now is in an undisclosed location because he's vacationing by himself.

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: Because this is what Ryan does. He gets some relationships

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: and then he goes on vacation by himself and he

37
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,639
Speaker 1: like those in this full brand. So why this becomes

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 1: hysterical about this question is because Ryan is a really

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: nice guy. And for a while I thought to myself,

40
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: could I date Bryan? Because him and I were so No,

41
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: it's not a whoe, these are facts. Him and I

42
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: were so close, like he was like, truly my best

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: guy friend, So I'm like, why why am I not

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: dating Ryan? Like we're both like single, the whole thing,

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: And the reality was like, Brian are too much alike

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: would kill each other. But to get back to the question,

47
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: and if Ryan was here and not in an area

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: that had no WiFi to loom uh, then he'd be

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: able to chime in right now. Nice guys, in my opinion,

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: always finished first because I ended up marrying someone that

51
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: is so much nicer than I am, and I was like, oh,

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: he's so nice. I don't know if I could be

53
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: with him, But ultimately, like I don't want to be

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: with a dick, Like I've dated a lot of okay

55
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: and not interested and it's fun for a while, like

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: oh you have to chase them and the whole thing.

57
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 1: But now I want somebody that I know it's dependable,

58
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: that I know he's not going to cheat on me,

59
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: and that I know it's like somebody I'm gonna be

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: proud to be the father of my children. So yes,

61
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: And I keep waiting for my guy to come downstairs

62
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: as he's headed to the hockey rank Babe, Nope, anyway,

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: but I will say that listen, Yeah, it's good to

64
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: have a nice guy. I think my husband's a very

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: nice guy. I don't know really anybody that doesn't like him.

66
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: But I will preface that nice guy but knows when

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: to be firm when he's dealing with me in terms

68
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: of my attitude being a little pushy because I can't

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: date a pushover and or marry one. Apparently, um so

70
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate that about him, nice guy, but I need

71
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: a little attitude in there too. It's like, you know what,

72
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. It's like a quarterback. You can't

73
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: just have a nice guy quarterback. You know, you gotta

74
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: have a guy with a little lattitude. That's like you

75
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: see that. Look what I just didn't. I'm gonna tell

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what it isn't okay, because I'm

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: with you. The person has to that we marry has

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: to stand up to us because we are very aggressive.

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Jared getting here? Do you think nice guys finished last? Jarrett?

80
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: You do? Wait? The question is Jarrett, hold on, hold on, Jared,

81
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: you won't be able to hear CHRISA. But do you

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: think last or WHOA? Do you think nice guys really

83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: finished last? People say like you would you rather like

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: like the guys that are dicks always come out as

85
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: the winners in a relationship. No, you're just confused. You're

86
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: worried about power play and penalty kill. Let's go Los

87
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: Angeles Kings by day. I love you. You You know what

88
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: you gotta know. Love, you have a great You look right,

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: you look right? But what was good? He's worried? No, No,

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: what does what does Jared say when he remember the

91
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: other day we're on the FaceTime? I was like, Jerry,

92
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: look right. Say my husband is um. He works a

93
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: part of the development of the Los Angeles Kings and

94
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: also does the broadcast. And he loves when you talk

95
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: about his outfit. And I'll say I said to Chris,

96
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: I say that his outfit looks great, and he'll say

97
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: it does right, he loves he loves an outfit. She

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: didn't even have to call me. He looked great. So yes,

99
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: nice guys do finish first, not last. Next question, Next question,

100
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: what makes marriage number two a good idea of versus

101
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: keeping it a long term relationship? Well, since I'm the

102
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: only person here that's been married twice, I'll tell you

103
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: marriage number one. Uh, person was I got married when

104
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: I was twenty six, I went to break up with him.

105
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: I was in a lunch date with him and I

106
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: was like really into him, and I was like, I

107
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: gotta break up with him because I'm just starting my career.

108
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I can't be tied down the whole thing. So I

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: went to break up with him, and he goes, no,

110
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna get married. We went to Hollywood got ring tattoos,

111
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: which I've since had removed eleven removals later. I got

112
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: married three days later. We're married for four years. He

113
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: wasn't the right guy obviously, So why did marriage number

114
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: to work out better instead of just being, you know,

115
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: just having just dating Kyle Because I am now thirty

116
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: eight years old and I had no reason being married

117
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: at I will say to anyone that's out there, I

118
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: think there's like this whole idea else against me from

119
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: the eye. I thought that I needed to be married

120
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: when I first got into this business because I didn't

121
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: want to be single and be interviewing athletes, because I

122
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to give athletes the idea that like, oh

123
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I was single and the whole weirdness because there is

124
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: it's like you have to be a hundred percent. I

125
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: thought that I was more credible being married than I

126
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: was being single. So for me, no, but the but

127
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that's by the athletes. I think that's

128
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: by the outside people, which really pisces me off. And

129
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: I see that because they think if you're being nice

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: to an athlete or smiling when you're single or even

131
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: when you're married, you just want to hook up, which

132
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: is so wrong. By the way, there's there's so many

133
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: this is it's its own podcast, by the way, which

134
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: maybe we'll make it one. The question was why is

135
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: my second marriage better than my I waited, why what

136
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: makes marriage number two? Yeah? Good idea versus just dating

137
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: Kyle for a long time. I'm older. I got married

138
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: at thirty eight years old, like I believe, and this

139
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: is coming from someone whose parents got married when they

140
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: were eighteen. I am a much different person now than

141
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: I was at twenty six when I got married the

142
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: first time, and that I am a thirty eight I

143
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: am so glad that I lived life. I was with

144
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: the wrong people. I did a lot of bad things

145
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: and now and Kyle will say the sue, live your

146
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: life and then when you finally meet the person you're

147
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: supposed to meet, then you can be like, uh, I

148
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,559
Speaker 1: did it all, so I'm good. So yeah, I believe

149
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: in waiting to marry the right person. All right. I

150
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: think this next question could actually go into the other

151
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: question that follows it, so we'll combine them. Advice for

152

Speaker 1: single ladies looking for a husband and also how do

153

157
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: my life was getting married. I mean I found more

158
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: in my twenties, and maybe because I grew up in

159
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: the South, it was such a big deal that I

160
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: wasn't married then in my thirties. I'm not gonna lie.

161
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: There was the pressure of like, shit, am I gonna

00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: for long? But you were asleep the whole time. That's

209
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: what it actually goes into the next question and pick

210
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: up line. On the plane, I was like, Prisa, you

211
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: were asleep when he was trying to pick him up.

212
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: I was. It was a six am flight to Minnesota,

213
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: and luckily Fox had booked the ticket, so my contract

214
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: designated that I was in a first class seat, and

215
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: I was like six am, six am, And because I

216
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: knew that the second I got off the plane with

217
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: the time change, that I was going to have to

218
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: go straight to do the interviews. So my we was

219
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: already in that it was like ponytail, so full we ponytail,

220
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: but no makeup. And I sat down and I remember

221
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: like like discombobulated, five thirty last person on the plane, like,

222
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: what's the flight? What's the seat? Never? And so I

223
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: went to put my bag in the overhead compartment and

224
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: the guy in which I now know is seat right. Yeah, no,

225
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: but the seat before him seat four. And I only

226
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: know that because now five A and five V, which

227
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: was our seats, it resonates. I also have a tattoo

228
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: of it. The guy four was like, oh, you can

229
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: go in here, and I was like, oh, thanks for

230
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: the enthusiasm, but I'm actually in this seat. So then

231
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Kyle like started laughing, and so Kyle got and I like,

232
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I sat at the window designated seat whatever, like the

233
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: window seat, and then we fell asleep. Was a six

234
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: am flight, and so the flight we're on we fell

235
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: asleep too. Yeah, because I turned out you guys slept

236
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: together your first meeting. What wouldn't be the first time?

237
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Whoa mile high club. We used protection. We had a

238
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: mask on. No, you didn't know his pre COVID when

239
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: we were just animals. So the flights on it just

240
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: said the flight attendant goes, you know, twenty minutes we're

241
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: going to be at our destination. We wake up and

242
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, isn't your name Sharissa, And I was like, well,

243
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: it's Corissa, but yeah, and he goes, yeah, you hosted

244
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: this forty under forty sports business general thing I was

245
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: at or whatever. Good to see you, and I was like, oh,

246
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: I'm good to see you too. And we then talked

247
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: and we were getting off the plane and we ended

248
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: up getting coffee together and I was like, I gotta go,

249
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: I gotta do this interview. And then I text my

250
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: makeup art and I was like, I just met my husband.

251
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: He's like, don't you have a boyfriend. I was like, Yeah,

252
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: that's not the guy I'm talking to. So anyways, three

253
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: days later, I broke up with my boyfriend over the phone,

254
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: and Kyle and I got engaged three months later. So

255
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: the reality is I had never even set next to

256
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: anyone I was interested in. And there you go. So

257
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: don't worry about if you meet Mr Wright. It should

258
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: be when it's right now. Yeah, let it go. I'll say,

259
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: stop complaining. Hey, by the way, that slept together joke.

260
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: The person who taught me this is a tangent for

261
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: all days. My second job of my career was with

262
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braves. I worked with TBS. That's when God

263
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: love him. Skip Carrie was still calling the games with

264
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: Joe Simpson. We flew back somewhere to Atlanta. He was

265
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: in the seat next to me. I was too. We

266
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: both passed out when we woke up. Skip Ghosts. Well

267
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,559
Speaker 1: now I can tell everyone I've slept with Aaron Andrews.

268
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: God love you, Skip Carrie. He was just so fantastic.

269
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: Loved him so much. Any who, Okay, our next question

270
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: is tips for balancing a work schedule, heavy work schedule

271
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: in a relationship doesn't make time to have sex. That's

272
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: what Kevin Hart said. I it's a hard one and

273
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: I think you need all the help you can get.

274
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: My husband's really good about telling me to put my

275
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: damn phone away. Our time is our time. We try

276
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: to make date night. We are, you know, trying to

277
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: have kids, and that's actually gonna put probably a big

278
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: dent in this situation of trying to figure out this relationship.

279
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: But look, I want to work, he wants to work.

280
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: We both love our jobs. We want to get better.

281
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: We're both putting more projects on our plate. But we

282
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: love each other so much that we know in order

283
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: to coexist, we have to be happy work wise and

284
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: we have to be happy with our relationship. So we

285
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: just try to make it a point communication to which

286
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,120

307
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: met for Chris is at a couple of months with

308
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: four different It's a it's a very important secret. If

309
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: you're scious, I'll tell you have to recognize that men

310
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: married the woman exactly as they want them and then

311
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: you guys want to change because you want to get better,

312
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: and women married the man. We they you know we

313
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: can become and we don't want to change. So from

314
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: the moment we get married or hooked up, we're starting

315
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: to spread away from each other and we got to

316
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: reconnect to Every seven years, you have to make an

317
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: earnest effort to remember you're not the same person you

318
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: were seven years prior to that. You've got to reinvent

319
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: the relationship. And the reason it's seven years is because

320
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: you have hormonal handcuffs on. Initially you fall in love,

321
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: your atos and seratonin, all these hormones surging through your

322
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: body or love. And that's probably why biologically makes sense

323
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: that why you're staying together with the kids are young.

324
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: But you've got to reinvent yourself beyond the biology of love,

325
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: and that's gonna happen because you look for other things. Wow,

326
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: this is why we wanted you on our podcast because

327
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Aaron and I are not an expert in a lot

328
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: of things. We may be an expert in sports and

329
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: some areas, but we're not an expert in relationships. Were

330
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: not an expert in medicine, but you are all of

331
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: the things. That was incredible and so true. Is that

332
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: why the seven year itches a thing? Oh for sure?

333
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: And again, if you think about it. After seven years,

334
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: the child that has been conceived is sort of able

335
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: to help a little bit. Then they can't go off

336
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: on their own. But you're not changing diapers anymore. Uh,

337
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: And it's it's unfortunate, but it's a reality that the

338
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: initial hormonal tools that are used to glue us together,

339
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: they know, they begin to wear off. You start looking around,

340
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: which is of course the reason that you have to

341
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: find other reasons to love your soul mate, because you

342
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: can't just be physical about it. Physicality is always going

343
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: to be important, and I always encourage people never forget that,

344
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, sex and the marriage is vital. That stated,

345
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: there has to be other things beyond that, and beyond

346
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: just talking about your kids that continue to to glue you.

347
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: My parents said we'd fight about two things in marriage,

348
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: sex and money. So if you don't fight about those

349
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 1: two things and you've got a good chance to survive.

350
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: They've been married since they were eighteen, they had no money,

351
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: and apparently there had a lot of sex because there's

352
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: three of us. So it is what it is. Wait,

353
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: can I ask about reinventing yourself? Okay, wait, so I

354
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: have I think this will be our that's not a

355
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: good start. Fourth wedding anniversary. So we have three more

356
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: years until we reinvent Where do you start? Where do

357
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: you begin? Where do you look? Oh my, I'm taking notes. Well,

358
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: the first big stumbling block is the guy doesn't really

359
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: know what text going on, and we just because well

360
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: we're hard wired to go after goals. That's what you

361
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: want us to be able to do it. When I say, guys,

362
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the masculine energy, feminine energy. You can

363
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: be any gender you want, but the energy of of

364
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: the masculine player is gonna be aimed for the target.

365
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Hit the target, go after it again. The word sin,

366
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: you know it's it's actually are a archery term. If

367
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: you hit the target in the middle of the of

368
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: the bull's eye that's hitting your target, you miss it.

369
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: That's a sin. So in order to hit the bulls eye,

370
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 1: getta know where the bull's eye is, and you have

371
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: to be aiming for it. Guys, know where the bull's

372
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: eye is, the aim for it. You'll get it. But

373
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: sometimes it's the wrong bulls eye. So if you hit

374
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: that bull's eye, you're still wrong because it wasn't what

375
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: you should have been aiming for. And so we're completely

376
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: oblivious the bigger issues you've got to pursue in life.

377
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: I'll just make it personal. So I graduate from I

378
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 1: played football in college. I loved sports. I got the

379
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: medical school. I wanted to be a doctor. I was

380
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 1: really passionate about heart surgery, which is my specialty. I

381
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: didn't have a bigger vision than that. I could have

382
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: done that for my entire life, and I probably would

383
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: have been just fine. Lisa, on the other hand, said,

384
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,239
Speaker 1: you come home from work lamenting the fact that so

385
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: many the people you're gonna operate on could have avoided

386
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: the need for you to take a scalpel to their chest,

387
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: a band saw through their chest bone. And so don't

388
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: tell me you're happy. You might think you're happy, but

389
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: if you actually dig deeper, you realize there's a bigger

390
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: play here if you can make it happy. And so

391
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: she was the one who started pushing me. She's remember

392
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: the visine commercials. You guys made me too young, But

393
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: there were these famous commercials with the bloodshot eyes of

394
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: a model. Yes, yes, those are my wife's eyes. Lisa,

395
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: she goes one of those viazine models. She had clear

396
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: vision with you, So she would say because you knew

397
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a show business. You have wasting

398
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: the opportunity to tell people about health, because if you

399
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: give American a message to health, they're listen to it.

400
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: The reason they're not acting healthy is they haven't gotten

401
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: the message. You never gave it to him. So that

402
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: changed my trajectory and made me think more about what

403
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: we need to tell people outside the Ivory Tower. I'm

404
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: at Columbia University and York Presterian Hospital. It's a great

405
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: place to practice. I never would have to leave, but

406
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: all around me in New York City, their health catastrophe

407
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: has taken place. So if she could could get me

408
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: to go beyond the Ivory Tower, I could actually make

409
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: an impact. It's much greater than the number of people

410
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: I do heart surgery on. And that was the beginning

411
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: for me. That's how I met Oprah. It's actually Lisa

412
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: and Oprah conspired to create the Doctorage show and to

413
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: get me to leave medicine as a full time professional.

414
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: I still practiced, but only part time and go and

415
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: start doing interviews like this. That's incredible. So you you

416
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: first debuted on Oprah in two thousand nine, right, I

417
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: met Oprah in two thousand three, and I'll tell you

418
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: how it happened because it fascinating story. It's all because

419
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: of Gail King. It was one of the coolest, most

420
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: influential women period in the country. I approached Gail, who

421
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: was an editor at Hurst Magazine, and I said, listen,

422
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: I've got to show that my wife has put together

423
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: called Second Opinion. It's basically me revisiting all the major

424
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: things that rereak havoc in your life. And I need

425
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: to have a big dame guest to launch the show.

426
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: Could you get Oprah come on with me? So she

427
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: called open and said, this guy's got a vision for

428
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: help that I think agrees with what you want to do.

429
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: And Oprah loves teaching that she really, I mean, she

430
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: should have been a teacher, that's what she really likes

431
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: to do. So she agreed one the day when she

432
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: was in New York to come on the show, and

433
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: she did, and she was my first guest, and we

434
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: had a blast, and there were a bunch of articles

435
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: written about it, and her producers saw them and asked

436
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: me if i'd revisit what we had done on my

437
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: show on her show, much bigger platform, obviously, and so

438
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: that was the that was the beginning of it, and

439
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: initially the reason I was in scrubs because people always say,

440
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, curious about how that happened. I was so

441
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: naive about television that I put a nice suit like

442
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: this on. I fly to Chicago from New York when

443
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: I practiced medicine, I bring my organs in an eagle cooler.

444
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: They thought they must have thought I was Jeffrey Dahmer.

445
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: Literally organs in a cooler going through security, and i'd

446
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: I'd end up at her set. I didn't want to

447
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: get my suit dirty, so I would change into scrubs,

448
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: fourteen dollar cotton scrubs because they wouldn't, you know, they wouldn't.

449
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Who cares if they smell a little bit from formaldehyde.

450
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: And I go out and do the shows. And what

451
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: turned what initially was at naives almost foolish maneuver, and

452
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 1: they're becoming really cool because people said, if the Scrubs

453
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: are on, he's gonna show Organs, and that became one

454
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: of the markers of the episodes I would do with her.

455
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: I probably did any plus shows with Oprah over the

456
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: course of those five or six years. Wow, you talked

457
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: about Oprah being a teacher. What do you think she's

458
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: taught you? Like, the biggest lesson she's taught you? Dtr

459
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 1: eyes the biggest lesson without any question at all. And

460
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: this may resonate with you guys, but it's the deep truth.

461
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: People do not change based on what they know. People

462
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: change based on how they feel. If you get people

463
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: to feel differently about an issue, they'll actually do it.

464
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: It's true for working on sports and becoming a winning team.

465
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: It's true for being a better heart surgeon. If I

466
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: want to get a patient to act differently towards their body,

467
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. I do not operate on smokers, really,

468
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: and the reason I don't operate on people who smoke

469
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: is because by one chance to get them to stop

470
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: is before I take them to surgery. So I would say,

471
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: I care about you too much to rush you into

472
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: the o R. Look around the room with the people

473
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: who brought you here. Those people love you. All I

474
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: want you to do is love yourself as much as

475
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: they love you. And when you appreciate that you're really

476
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: that precious, that you're a you have a divine spark

477
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: in you, and people love you and care about you,

478
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: you wouldn't put that cigarette in your mouth out anymore.

479
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: I've never once failed to get a patient to stop smoking.

480
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes they go back to smoke again. I recognize that

481
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: failure rate, but I've never once failed to get a

482
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: patient stopped smoking by using an approach similar to that.

483
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: I found that so interesting though, as you said that

484
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: your wife was actually responsible for you introducing what's her

485
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: and Oprah's relationship. Well, Lisa was the one who went

486
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: to open and said, my husband needs to have a

487
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: presence in your program that people can relate to. So

488
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: make him America's doctor call him. That literally put her

489
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: on the band, the big monitor behind him, and and

490
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: so people can begin to understand what you're trying to do.

491
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: And sometimes you actually have to tell people and show

492
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: people and then reinforce the people what you're up to

493
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: and what Opraush sought to do and she she's done

494
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: it before and being after me as well is to

495
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: get people that she trusted to be envoys ambassadors of

496
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: whatever our specialty is, in my case obviously healthcare. And

497
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: then she said, okay, I'll teach you basically it's Oprah University.

498
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: I'll teach you oz how to talk to people about stuff.

499
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: You have to bring interesting ideas and up your game

500
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: so you can connect with people in a way that

501
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: means something. And then working with her team and her

502
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: hood was fantastic. By the way, the whole team at

503
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: Oprah Show was just stellar individuals who understood the subtlety

504
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: of how to make great programs. And then my wife

505
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: was playing a role because she knew me better than

506
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: anybody else. But she also knew health. Her father is

507
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: a heart surgeon, was a pretty well known guy, and

508
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 1: she had understood where the big gaps, the big connections

509
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: were failing. And so all together we were pulling the

510
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: oars as hard as we could and it got i

511
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: mean so big, so fast, in part because there was

512
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: this voracious appetite for health information, not the kind of

513
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: health information you traditionally got, like, take better care of yourself,

514
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: do the right things, I'll see you back in the

515
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: office in a year. That doesn't mean anything to most people.

516
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: If they were doing the right things, they wouldn't be

517
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: in your office with blood pressure problems, high bood sugar

518
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: or obesi. So a lot of the wisdom around health

519
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: is creating automated lives, lives where you do the right thing,

520
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: because it's easy to do the right thing, and that's

521
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: a mistake that a lot of people make. And so

522
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: if you change your life and make it easier to

523
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: do the right thing by automating your food in the

524
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: morning and figure out what lunch you love. In fact,

525
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: forget about eating food that you think is good for you,

526
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: eat food that tastes good that happens to be good

527
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: for you, and you can stay on that diet program

528
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: your whole existence. Those are the the the deeper realities

529
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: to how you build a healthy lifestyle. Because healthy people,

530
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: I'll say it differently, people overweight look at skinny people

531
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: and think that they're lucky devils, right, And then people

532
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: don't understand heavy people because they somehow never picked up

533
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: those habits. And there's genetic roles and there are other

534
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: issues as well, but primarily it's about lifestyle. That's why

535
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: people are heavy. Then they have heavy pets as well,

536
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: it's probably not genetic at that level. That's crazy. Dr Eys.

537
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: You mentioned it got so crazy so fast in a

538
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: good way with Oprah and her team, and I've seen

539
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: how they've on a first hand basis work over there.

540
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: How did you know this thing was bigger than you expected,

541
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 1: or maybe did it get bigger than you expected when

542
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: you started with her? It got bigger than I expected

543
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: because I didn't know what it was gonna do. I

544
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: was very naive to the process. I'll tell you what

545
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: telling moment. Oprah asked me, has it happened yet? And

546
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 1: I said, as what happened yet? It says, you know,

547
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: has it happened? I said, no, I don't, I don't.

548
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: I re talking about So when you're walking down the street,

549
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: the people look over, recognize who you are, and then

550
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: begin peppering you with questions, and yes, it had just

551
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: started happening. And I realized at that point that the

552
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: ability to speak to people in a very honest, authentic

553
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: way allows you to become part of their family. That's

554
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: what makes daytime television is so powerful to me. People

555
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: have us on in the background. I was actually just

556
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, it got shopping before this interview, and I

557
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: had a mask on, so people couldn't really tell who

558
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: it was. I said something as soon as the woman

559
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: heard my voice that the count as you knew who

560
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: I was because they don't have to watch daytime television

561
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: half the time. They're just listening to it, but you're

562
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: part of the family, and so they respect that you're

563
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,239
Speaker 1: they're bringing them good information. Because by the way, if

564
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: you didn't, they wouldn't invite you back. Right, You're not

565
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: gonna bite your friend over and they're not bringing you

566
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: worthy stuff. So Oprah's big message was respect the audience.

567
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: Always remember that they're out there looking for things to

568
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: help them, bring them stuff that works for that purpose.

569
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: And if you do that, don't invite you back. Over

570
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: and over and over again. And it has been a

571
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: wonderful for me, blessing because I know a lot of people,

572
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: as they think about whether they can control their destiny,

573
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: look back and say, yeah, I can't because I just

574
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: heard it said on oz or Oprah or whoever show

575
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: that they're watching that they trust because if I can

576
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: give you confidence that you can change your future, then

577
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: you'll lose the nihilism that holds you back. And that's

578
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: the real epidemic that we're struggling with in America now

579
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: is people have lost hope. People don't realize that they

580
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: have agency to control their future, that if they're brave,

581
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: they'll be rewarded. That's the big message and health is

582
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: a good place to start because if you can change

583
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: what's happening inside your body, you can change the world

584
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,400
Speaker 1: outside of it. And that's the deeper, fundamental reason why

585
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: health matters. It's the first stepping stone to controlling all

586
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: the things as you want to change in your life. Yeah,

587
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: and with that comes great responsibility. So I imagine when

588
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: people stop you on the regular but ask you for

589
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: advice or ask you are they mostly asking you for

590
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: help in a medical area or is it now because

591
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: you do so many different things, what is that primary

592
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: question that they're asking you? There has to be one. Well,

593
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: the big question historically was I don't lose weight as

594
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: in public. In private, if you're a you know, a

595
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: place where they get you to themselves. They ask about

596
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: sex because there's a sexual feminine America, and people don't

597
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: realize that they're not alone. They don't want to talk

598
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: about it. Women always blame themselves when their men aren't performing.

599
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: And I keep emphasizing most men who aren't performing or

600
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: having a medical problem or a deeper emotional problem, help

601
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: them with If the machinery works, they don't want to

602
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: use it, So don't blame yourself. It's a problem, not

603
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: a blame issue, not a shame issue. You know, get

604
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: ahead of it. And those are the two things this

605
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: past year. Obviously it's all COVID all the time, because

606
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: there's so much confusion about the rapid fire hose worth

607
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: of data coming into our mouth every day, and it's

608
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: hard to process at all because most there's not enough

609
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: wisdom for the average human being to be able to

610
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: understand all these different moving parts. So a lot of

611
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: what they asked me is break it down. What would

612
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: you do if it was your family, which is how

613
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: I try to do it on the show. I'll tell

614
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: you what I do for my daughters, my wife, my parents,

615
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: and if I do it for them, you don't at

616
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: least think about that option. What was the rest of

617
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: the medical community's reaction when you became who you are?

618
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I imagine that there were some

619
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: pundits or some people that looked at like, oh, he's

620
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: a sellout, or he's this or he's that because you

621
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: became this household name. Did the medical community react positively

622
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: or negatively to your success? Be honest, I'll tell you.

623
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. This mixed. You don't have to I

624
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: don't have to be honest. You can read you can

625
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: read people's comments. The the The big message that I

626
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: was trying to deliver is a scary one. It's that

627
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: you can become the old expert in your body and

628
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: you've got to trust your instincts and push for what's yours.

629
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: So if you're not getting the care you think you deserve,

630
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: asked either that person again or ask somebody else. But

631
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: don't take no for an answer. Recognize that there's lots

632
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 1: of wisdom out there about health that we don't understand

633
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: in the Western world because we haven't gotten there yet.

634
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: A lot of the subtle things, the whole remedies, alternative

635
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: medical approaches, this stuff is. Some of it's who never

636
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna work. Some of it's gonna be effective and has

637
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: already been improven effective. So you've got to navigate that

638
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. But you have to own your destiny.

639
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: And that's a message that not every medical professional likes

640
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: their patients to hear because it's frustrating. You get a second.

641
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: Guess what I'm telling you. If aout my whole life

642
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: learning this stuff, now you're coming in here and telling

643
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: me that you know bioidentical hormones can help you deal

644
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: with menopause? Who are you to say that? And I'll say, well,

645
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, there are lots of doctors who actually use

646
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: biodetical hormones, for example, for menopause, and the women who

647
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: take those hormones, well, you know, when they're well tested

648
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: and appropriately managed, seemed to do really well, you should

649
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: at least be able to talk about it. And that

650
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: is unsettling. But I gotta say, most of my brethren

651
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: are actually happy because I think I saved them time

652
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: by educating people about the basics of lifestyle management so

653
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: they can avoid chronic illnesses. It saves the need for

654
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: every single doctor seeing every obese slash diabetic, slash hypertensive

655
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: patient that need to have that conversation. But I gotta

656
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: be clear on this. We're not winning this battle right now.

657
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: The reason America got hit so hard by COVID we're

658
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: a quarter of the world's deaths. The reason we got

659
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: hit so hard is we're not, at our heart a

660
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: healthy population. Most of the people, the overwhelming majority of people,

661
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: are people who died had obesity, hypertension, or high blood sugar,

662
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: or some chronic disease related to those and so we're

663
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: not taking charge of our health. And when these types

664
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: of inflammatory viruses hit us, they call those people from

665
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: the herd, and we want to avoid that in the future. Yeah,

666
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned the dependence. You have a lot of different

667
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: chapters in the book of your life. A new one is,

668
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, hosting Jeopardy. I was very four in it

669
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: to be close with Alex Trebeck and he was a

670
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: very important person in my life. I was like devastated

671
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 1: when he passed away, as we all were. You know,

672
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: we welcomed him into our living room. I remember watching

673
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: him with my grandpa growing up. Is how I became, uh,

674
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, infatuated with the individual that said they were

675
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: very difficult shoes to fill. You're not going to fill them.

676
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: You can only hope to, you know, do him the

677
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: honor um with your position. How have you found that

678
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: experience so far to be It was one of the

679
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: most unique experiences of my life to be able to

680
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: host Jeopardy and Alex Reco I was also close to

681
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: and adored. Like you grew up watching him and respecting

682
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: his remarkable talents as a broadcaster. I also respected his

683
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: talents as a human being. I'll give you one story

684
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: real quickly, and then I'll tell you about my personal

685
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: experience there. The last time I was with him, we

686
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: were backstage at Jeopardy and he we were in his

687
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: dressing room, the one that I would ultimately use when

688
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: I guest hosted the show for a couple of weeks,

689
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: and I was about to leave. He said, before you go,

690
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: let me show you some and he walked me out

691
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: down the hallway and there's this long corridor of just

692
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: Emmy awards, all the enemy's they've had on Jeopardy. He

693
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: walked right past those awards, didn't never slowed down. At

694
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: the end of that corridor, there was a big glass

695
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: case with all the notes, quilts, prayer rugs that have

696
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: been sent to him from people wishing him the best.

697
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: And he got very emotional as he began looking at

698
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: the letters and reading some of the bits that he

699
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: obviously looked at before, and realized that the really impact

700
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: he'd had in America was to bring a little bit

701
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: of light into our lives. He lifted a little bit

702
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: of a burden for all of us, and that was

703
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: the love he was getting back. That's the man Alcabec

704
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: represented the culture that he left behind. The Jeopardy is unparalleled.

705
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: Mike Richard's EP. All these guys are superstars and they

706
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: do not cut corners. Every single thing has to be

707
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: done perfectly, and it's not. You do it again, and

708
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: then they put you through boot camp. Imagine this. I've

709
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: been toasting shows. I mean it was a thousands of

710
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: television shows. I mean a lot of time in front

711
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: of a camera. No no, no, no, don't matter. I

712
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: had to go to boot camp. I spied a weekend

713
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: getting rehearsed by the writers who are brilliantly writing these

714
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: questions being guests, and then pretending to mess me up

715
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: like they'd asked the answer it wrong. They give me

716
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: a complicated response that wasn't right. So I had to

717
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: learn how to deal with those those seal problems. Because

718
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: what Alex did so effortlessly that's really really hard to do,

719
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: is he kept the game flowing and from a fire

720
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: hose sixty one questions in twenty some minutes, you've got

721
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 1: a ton of information. He's got to keep it going

722
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: because if you slow it down, you give the other

723
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 1: contestants unfair advantages of the ones one first a Jeopardy

724
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: boot camp who knew well I want to know your reaction.

725
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you know, you work very closely with

726
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: the heart. What was the blood pressure like? As you know,

727
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: the lights went on and they were like three two.

728
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: You know, it is just like playing sports. It's great.

729
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: You've got a little bit of anxiety, but a good kind.

730
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: Whenever I was getting ready to play, I always think,

731
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get out there. I worked so hard,

732
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 1: I earned this right just to be able to give

733
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: it my best, and so I'm gonna I'm just gonna

734
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: get out there. But anxiety as soon as you walk

735
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: out there and you harness it a little bit like

736
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: a puppy dog. You just started to sit up, settle in,

737
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: and it just felt so good. And then you get

738
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: in the zone and the contestants are so smart. My

739
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: only fear the whole time was that I would mess

740
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: up the contestants by saying something or doing something that

741
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: wasn't right for them and throw them off their game.

742
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: I wanted them all to have a fair chance to compete.

743
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: But I I left those shows so impressed by how

744
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: wise these people are at so many different kinds of

745
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, they've got, they've got they know they do

746
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: the equivalent of weightlifting with their brains daily. But not

747
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: everyone lifts the same weight. These guys lift heavyweights with

748
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: their brains. Well, that's high praise coming from a doctor.

749
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: Are you still practicing? Dr? Like? Can? Can somebody get it?

750
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna say it wrong. A cardio cardiothoractic

751
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: appointment and what is that? And this I have seven

752
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: thousand questions. My dad actually suffered a big time heart

753
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: attack right before COVID. And so when you know reading

754
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: all about you, what is that surgery? Dr? Oz So?

755
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: My training is in heart surgery, so bypass operations, changing valves,

756
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: doing heart transplants. I helped build the mechanical heart program

757
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 1: at on my institution. My real claim to fame is

758
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: I helped invent the devices to fix heart vouls from

759
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: the groin without having to stop the heart, without having

760
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: to open the chest. And I did that through much

761
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: of my career. I love tinkering and I love fixing stuff.

762
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry about your dad, Thank you, But I

763
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: tell you that the medical profession has gotten so proficient

764
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: and managing heart disease because we got so much of

765
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: it that hopefully he'll do well. Yeah. No, I was

766
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 1: actually I mean not to get personal, but it was

767
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: a question I had. You know, my dad was the

768
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: last person when we got the phone call that night

769
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: that we thought this was going to happen to vegetarian

770
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: works out every single day, almost underweight. But what we

771
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: didn't know what was going on in our family was

772
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 1: oh gosh, and now I'm blanking out. What is it?

773
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: Coronary artery disease? We didn't know. And I was going

774
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: to ask you too selfish questions and nothing about sex um.

775
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: But my two questions are as a forty three year

776
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: old and travel on the road all the time, you know,

777
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 1: when should somebody whose dad just suffered a heart attack

778
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: because of that? Is there anything I can do for myself?

779
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: And then also with my dad being high risk now

780
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: he's had the vaccine, like, is there anything the forty

781
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 1: two year old daughters should be worried about with my father?

782
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: Moving forward with all of this, well, this for you

783
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: first preventive medicine. So generally speaking, if you're real, if

784
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: you how old your dad. By the way, my dad

785
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: is sixty seven, so any medical problem that happens before

786
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: the age of sixty five and he's close mandates that

787
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: you assume you have a genetic problem. Now, it doesn't

788
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: mean you have it, and it doesn't mean that if

789
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: you do lifestyle changes ahead of time, you can avoid it.

790
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: But your dad's vegetarian underweight, so he's done most of

791
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: the things correctly. I mean, I remember operating on a

792
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 1: forty five year old Yogi once lackt of vegetarian not

793
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: like they're just a vegetarian meditating underweight, and he said

794
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: that he felt blessed because every male and his family

795
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 1: had died a decade earlier than that. And so jeans,

796
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: they you know, they're the cards you're dealt. So you

797
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: have to be thoughtful about your heart history. Because you're

798
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: a female with estrogen, you're protected. Males have testosterone poisoning,

799
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: so we actually get hurt to seize about a decade

800
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: earlier than women. But by the time you're in your

801
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: late forties. Uh, you should be evaluated with either. Right,

802
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: you can do a stress test, but I like to

803
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: do a ultra fast CT just to take a quick

804
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: peek at the arteries to see if there's any plaque

805
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: on them. Okay, this is true for everyone. Want listening

806
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 1: right now. If you can get an actual picture either

807
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: a crowdo ultrasound or a picture of your heart. It

808
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: tells you whether you're actually making plaque or not. If

809
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: you're not making plaque, the numbers, the cholesterol values, that

810
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: none of that matters then, because if we're using those

811
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: blood tests to estimate your risk of making plaque, but

812
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: we can actually look these days and see if you're

813
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: making plaque. And so if you do that, they'll help

814
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: God whether you need dical therapy or not, because I

815
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: don't want to put you on pills before you need them.

816
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: And if you have no plaque, who cares what your

817
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: cholesterol is as long as you don't have anything else

818
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: going on. With regard to your dad, the most important

819
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: reality is the blood coursing through his vessels was corrosive.

820
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 1: Something rusted his blood vessels. So no matter what he's eating,

821
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: no matter how he's taking care of himself, he's got

822
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: some genetic issues caused a problem. You've got the air

823
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: and figure that out. And they're very sophisticated tests that

824
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: are done now. They're not garden variety tests. But most

825
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: sixty five year old vegetarians are underweight, don't have heart problems.

826
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: So he's got something unique so you gotta will go

827
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: one step further. There's a test called the Berkeley test,

828
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: and there are others as well that look very carefully

829
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: at these different kinds of cholesterol, and if he's got

830
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: one of the more abnormal profiles, there are different medications

831
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: we put them on. Here's the big secret about medicine

832
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 1: that's not talked about much. The ailments that plagued us

833
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: the most are the ones that all doctors learn a

834
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: little bit about. But because we learned a little bit

835
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 1: about them, we think we're world experts on them. So

836
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: everyone's got a cholesterol value. We learned about it the

837
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: first month of medical school and from then on we

838
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: all think we're pretty good at it. But not all

839
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: cholesterol experts are equally good. So find a world class

840
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: cholesterol person to try to find out what went down

841
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: with your dad's arteries, because there's someone who knows that

842
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: answer that who's gonna be able to save his life

843
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: because whatever solutions exist today that we put into his

844
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: heart to get the blood flowing, because the fluid coursing

845
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: through those man made graphs are not as good as

846
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: what he was born with. Who rush those as well,

847
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: So get ahead of it. He also blames the fact

848
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: that the Packers haven't done anything in the off season

849
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: as adding stress for him. So, you know, let's go

850
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: green bag. You know, Dad, that's that's not quite true.

851
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 1: Because Aaron Rodgers hosting Jeopardy right after me. They are

852
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: doing something. Eron's been Aaron one when he was a

853
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: contestant on Jeopardy. But Dr hoj, you are the world's

854
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: most interesting man. Move over Doseki's because you know about

855
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: a three or four defense. You know questions to UH

856
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: and answers to Jeopardy. You can perform open heart surgery,

857
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: and you know all about sex, which we had more

858
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: time to talk about, which means we're gonna have to

859

Speaker 1: have you on again. Yes, we can't thank you enough

Speaker 1: I could talk to him. He's a dream. Yeah, great guy.

867
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: I would like to talk to him over some like

868
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: he mentioned Oprah. I want to be with Oprah with alcohol.

869
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 1: I want to sit down with Dr Oz with alcohol.

870
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,000

872
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: with like, oh, invite someone living or dead. I'll take

873
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: him because the fact that he started out our conversation

874
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: about how to keep a marriage alive, I mean, as

875
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: someone who's on her second I'm all yours. And what

876
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: he had to say, and the pheromones and the physics

877
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: and the whole thing that came along with it, I

878
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: definitely lee found him to be more impressive than I

879
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: already thought he was. And what I love too is

880
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: he's a guy that's continued to reinvent himself, even his family,

881
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 1: his daughter's shows, like shows and all that kind of stuff,

882
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: and and anybody that has sustained a marriage through the

883
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: ebbs and flows of life. I always and all years

884
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,319
Speaker 1: for us. So I really enjoyed listening to him. Yeah.

885
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,439
Speaker 1: I told my friends, Um, because we filmed that while

886
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: we were in Montana. I told my friends about it,

887
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: and they I said, every seven years, that's what he said,

888
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,720
Speaker 1: you should try to talk about it all. Reinvent everything,

889
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: and my friends had been married for ten years, said, well,

890
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: we're about three years too late. Bad for us. They

891
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: have three kids. They're fine. But yeah, no, I I

892
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: loved him. I thought he was phenomenal. He's reminded me

893
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: of Dabo Sweeney, Clemson head coach. You just asked one

894
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: question and you let him go. I mean, he just

895
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: you don't even need to interview the guy. He's phenomenal.

896
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: I love that. And also too, when we talked to

897
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: him about the medical field, which let's be honest, like

898
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: put on the lab coat, let's be you know, science

899
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: and mathematical and whatever, and for him to sort of

900
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: go rogue on that and really which he credits his

901
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: wife too, for that introduction to Oprah and going more

902
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 1: mainstream that he knew maybe something and a little bit

903
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: of some pundits came along with that, But ultimately, what

904
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:27,280
Speaker 1: he ends up doing is being accessible to that audience

905
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: that's at home that doesn't maybe have the money to

906
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: go to a specialist or or have the access to

907
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: the medicals and not everyone again, of course has insurance

908
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 1: and can go to a doctor. So I think what

909
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: he's able to do, you know, just being in our

910
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: living rooms on a television is far superior to anything else.

911
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: So I really enjoyed listening to him and definitely could

912
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: talk to him for a long time about all of

913
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: his advice on things. He's a disrupter. People don't like

914
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: it in your field when he kind of shake it

915
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 1: up and do things a little different. What did you

916
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: take away from the things that he said to you

917
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: about Steve? Oh? Yeah, I think now, just for me,

918
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: it's like the tests I need to get to make

919
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: sure coronary artery disease isn't something that I'm going to

920
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: be dealing with twenty years down the line, but it

921
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: sounds like I will because you know it's hereditary and

922
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: we didn't know that about my father. It's it's yeah,

923
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: it's something that weighs on my mind. I wanted to

924
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: ask him even more in terms of like corona, my

925
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: dad being high risk and you know he's vaccinated, but

926
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 1: are we good? But I'm sure that's listen. I feel

927
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: like we're going to talk to him down the road.

928
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, he mentioned the tests I should

929
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: be taking. He mentioned the questions I should be asking

930
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: of my dad's doctors, and I loved it. Yeah, I

931
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: I had. I guess I had no idea. He worked

932
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 1: transplants and all that. I love that. Are you good

933
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: about going to a doctor on the regular? Got really

934
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: good about going to the Oh you are, yes, my mom?

935
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: And still that. That's how I found out I had

936
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 1: cervical cancer. I am. I always go to the dentist

937
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: every six months. I always go to the gynecologist every

938
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: single year. I stay on top of ship. And that's

939
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: why when I was diagnosed with cancer, we were like,

940
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: there's no way. I was just here a year ago,

941
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: Like how could this happen? And then when I came

942
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: out public and I said, you know, I had this

943
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: and I found it from a routine exam, I was

944
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: blown away with how many women said to me, I

945
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: haven't been to the doctor in three to four years.

946
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: I need to go for my annual. I'm like, are

947
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: you fucking crazy? Like this is how I found out

948
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: I had it. Well, that's not good. You need to go.

949
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: You have got to go. So so I I go

950
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: to the dentist every six months. I go to my

951
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: my guy in college is set me up for my

952
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: ex boyfriend. That's weird. That's a different podcast. I am

953
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: routine about that, but I would, you know, when you

954
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 1: fill out like who's your general practitioner doctor or whatever.

955
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't have one. Like I go to my guy

956
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: in college, and so I'm like, I've got this pain

957
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: in my foot, Like he's like my all encompassing doctor,

958
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,479
Speaker 1: which is late, but I should do a better job,

959
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: and and obviously, being as close as we are, I

960
00:45:56,280 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: should definitely like, you know, take that into consideration, like

961
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: I need to just go and get because I am

962
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: under that like umbrella for a lot of people that's like, oh,

963
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: I don't feel something, So I'm not gonna checked out.

964
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: So I will make a concerted effort to do that

965
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,840
Speaker 1: because it is important, and I think there is a

966
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: little bit of fear in me that's oh if I

967
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 1: don't know, then I won't worry about it. But yeah,

968
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,959
Speaker 1: the worst worst things that I have to make every

969
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: six months is to you know this, I text you

970
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: all the time to the cancer center. I freaking hate

971
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: it my oncologists. It's very attractive. I love him so

972
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: very much, but I think that's how how we have

973
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: to meet every six months. I actually need to check

974
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: to see when my next six month appointment is. He's amazing.

975
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: It's the worst. A couple of months ago, I think,

976
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, but it's awful. It's terrible to go to

977
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: the doctor, but you gotta go because again, like my dad,

978
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: nothing was wrong with him and then all of a

979
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: sudden this, you know, huge events. So I just gotta

980
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 1: go get that, get the old blood pressure checked out,

981
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: the vitals. Well. I love you, thank for being open

982
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: and honest about that, because it's important for a lot

983
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: of people. And I again and I will yield your

984
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: own advice that even though I go to attention to

985
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: my kind of gog, I need to get a check

986
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: up all things. So for those of you listening or watching,

987
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: let's all make an effort to check up and check

988
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: in often. And uh look at it as a great

989
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,240
Speaker 1: luxury that we have to be able to have somebody

990
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: bring awareness to something that we might not have known

991
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: that will be preventative in the future. So big thing,

992
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: especially right now with COVID. A lot of people put

993
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: their health off because they didn't want to go into

994
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: the doctors. I just went to the dentists and this

995
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: girl's like, I haven't been here in three years. I

996
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: was like Jesus, like, I better have less scraping in

997
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 1: the old mouth and this broad you know what I mean.

998
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: So yes, go to the doctor, wear a mask, go

999
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: to the doctor. Go to the doctor. Doctor Oz, thank
