Speaker 1: My god, we're in four k. It's one more Thing.
Speaker 2: I'm rare Michelangelo story for the One More Thing podcast.
Speaker 2: Before we get to that though, and I realize this
Speaker 2: is distasteful and people are going to groan.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: And I didn't do it on the show. I did
Speaker 2: on the podcast, but I was just in the restroom.
Speaker 2: There's somebody in there that needs to be rushed to
Speaker 2: the hospital. Oh okay, I mean an ambulance should take them.
Speaker 4: What did you eat a dead raccoon?
Speaker 2: What is going on with you?
Speaker 3: Dude?
Speaker 2: I almost wanted to say over the little transom thing
Speaker 2: or whatever. Hey, sir, you are right dial n good Lord.
Speaker 2: In case you don't know, this ain't right. This ain't normal.
Speaker 2: I've been around a long time. I've been in a
Speaker 2: lot of situations. This is not normal.
Speaker 4: Just stick your head and say that you're roll intoday. Ah,
Speaker 4: here's a question for you. If I pass on my comment,
Speaker 4: will we just move on?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: I will pass.
Speaker 2: Okay, So what do your four K comment? Michael Angelo?
Speaker 2: What was that all about?
Speaker 1: I had a cataract surgery last week on my right eye.
Speaker 2: And could you explain what that is? Because I had
Speaker 2: I heard people talk about cataracts my life. I'd hear
Speaker 2: it through my hola. I had no idea what it was.
Speaker 1: It's basically a large gray cloud that clouds your vision,
Speaker 1: but you don't realize it until it's removed. And so
Speaker 1: I've been seeing all of you like in standard definition.
Speaker 1: Basically is the way I would describe it. Very I
Speaker 1: didn't realize I had a film over my eye.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and I have this in common because I
Speaker 2: got lens replacement surgery in mine was to improve my eyesight,
Speaker 2: but I also had cataracts and didn't know what and
Speaker 2: they described it to me to actually show pictures. It's
Speaker 2: like putting a drop of milk on your lens. It
Speaker 2: just kind of makes it milky, and like it happens
Speaker 2: little by little.
Speaker 5: Over your life.
Speaker 2: You don't notice it. But it's why I was always saying, God,
Speaker 2: I can't see anything. Could somebody flip on a light
Speaker 2: and my kids would be like, Dad, it's plenty bright
Speaker 2: in here, because it makes everything right. That's why I
Speaker 2: never wore sunglasses. I just never ever wore sunglasses. Now
Speaker 2: I can't hardly step out of the building without Ah,
Speaker 2: it's so bright. I never wore sunglasses. I didn't need him.
Speaker 2: I had built in sunglasses and you're probably having the
Speaker 2: same experience. Yeah, it's just the colors are so vivid.
Speaker 2: It's like a whole new world.
Speaker 1: I've only got one eye done, so I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: the other one done, and it's just, you know, it's
Speaker 1: unbelievable how I'm seeing people, how I'm seeing it's like
Speaker 1: just mind blowing.
Speaker 4: Well that's great, it's fabulous, and I've heard that it's
Speaker 4: just remarkably safe, effective and non horrible these days.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the prepping is what takes a long time. The
Speaker 1: operation was like ten minutes.
Speaker 2: It's funny they shaved him for some reason.
Speaker 3: I've was wondering about that.
Speaker 2: That's actually what the doctor told me when I got lends.
Speaker 2: Replacement is like going from uh from HD to four
Speaker 2: K and that is very similar. When I was at
Speaker 2: Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs game, I really noticed with
Speaker 2: my eyes because my new lenses, just looking at the
Speaker 2: stadium in the bright red and all the colors that
Speaker 2: I just wasn't seeing. So yeah, it's pretty cool. Good
Speaker 2: for you can should you flat out see better? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, this, like I said, this is just one eye.
Speaker 1: The other it's weird because if I look out my
Speaker 1: right eye, it's h you know, it's like four K
Speaker 1: or whatever. But if I close it, then everything's like,
Speaker 1: you know, Gray, we.
Speaker 4: Ought to talk about this on the air at some point.
Speaker 4: I have a friend who is he's got a lung
Speaker 4: infection deal going on and it's really really hard to
Speaker 4: clear up, and it's life threatening, and so he's on
Speaker 4: these incredibly powerful drugs that have now started to rob
Speaker 4: him of his vision. And so he's got this unholy,
Speaker 4: you know, decision to make, and you know, all right,
Speaker 4: do I keep going with these drugs? And it's terrible
Speaker 4: and serious. But he's a physician. And the one thing
Speaker 4: he said that was so interesting, he's and he named
Speaker 4: several lung conditions his and then there's the San Joaquin
Speaker 4: Valley something or other that I remember like a decade ago,
Speaker 4: that's not far from where the radio ranch is. It
Speaker 4: was a very very rare lung condition that you'd get
Speaker 4: in certain farm work and that sort of thing. And
Speaker 4: he said that one, that one, and another one that
Speaker 4: you never saw or you'd see once every six months.
Speaker 4: He said, we're seeing him every single month now, and
Speaker 4: he thinks it has a lot to do with what
Speaker 4: COVID nineteen did to people's immune systems. And he also
Speaker 4: thinks that rings quite tunefully, quite in tune with the
Speaker 4: idea that, yeah, those spike proteins in the design of
Speaker 4: the thing are not of God, they are of man,
Speaker 4: and they were designed to be extravrulent and nasty, which
Speaker 4: is a hell of a deal. So coming to a
Speaker 4: hospital near you.
Speaker 2: I think whenever I heard about cataracts, always thought about
Speaker 2: it being really really old people. You're not a really
Speaker 2: what are you seventy two?
Speaker 1: I'll be fifty in April. But that's what they told me,
Speaker 1: is they said, you know, you're healing really well because
Speaker 1: you're so young.
Speaker 2: But how long have your your eyes probably been this way?
Speaker 2: Did they say that?
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that I haven't seen this way in like
Speaker 1: twenty years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so well, And so people who get cataracts in
Speaker 2: like their twenties certainly thirties and forties. So that's I mean,
Speaker 2: that's one thing we got to start looking at, is
Speaker 2: it happens a lot earlier than you think. It's not
Speaker 2: just for grandma and grandpa. You know.
Speaker 1: I did want to play a prank though, when I
Speaker 1: was there, I wanted to come out. My wife, you know,
Speaker 1: she had to guide me around. She wouldn't let me
Speaker 1: do it. But I had dark sunglasses on, and so
Speaker 1: she's leading me through the waiting room and it's packed
Speaker 1: full of people. I told her, I said, oh, on
Speaker 1: so badly to have a white cane and say, I
Speaker 1: told you we shouldn't have come.
Speaker 5: Here and just walk out the door. That's the waiting room.
Speaker 5: Just clear out, wait until they do your other eye.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was twenty thirty when I came here.
Speaker 1: And the other thing was they make you spill out
Speaker 1: all these medical forms and they you know, they have
Speaker 1: to put you under I mean as far as giving
Speaker 1: you anesthesia and stuff. And they asked, is there somebody
Speaker 1: that you don't want to know that you're under anesthesia?
Speaker 1: Which is kind of funny, and so you know, like
Speaker 1: some people mention a family member or whatever. I thought,
Speaker 1: you know what, how funny it would be if I
Speaker 1: put Bill Cosby down.
Speaker 4: Oh the comedy stylings of Mike Langelo, Well that you
Speaker 4: don't want to know?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I've never heard that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, my arch enemy. Please don't tell them, that's weird.
Speaker 5: Don't tell Devin, who'some the lighter side of eye surgery.
Speaker 2: Thank you very Michael Ian. I'm glad you can see that.
Speaker 1: I am too.
Speaker 2: So another topic that came up during the radio show.
Speaker 2: We had never heard this term before. Katie brought us the.
Speaker 3: Yeah feeders. Before I do that, I have to ask
Speaker 3: you a favor. Don't describe anything as milky ever. Again,
Speaker 3: that sent me a weird I got a weird chill.
Speaker 3: I don't know you said said something about.
Speaker 2: It, now that you mention it, so milk.
Speaker 4: Some people it's moist.
Speaker 3: No, that's on the list too, But for some I
Speaker 3: and I've never had this issue before. I don't know
Speaker 3: that it's ever come to my attention. But when you
Speaker 3: said it right there, I went, oh God.
Speaker 2: There are gross words. That's a gross word. Yeah, milky,
Speaker 2: milky Other than milky. You don't want anything milk, anything milky?
Speaker 2: Now anyway, what's a feeder?
Speaker 5: So the backstory on this.
Speaker 3: Somehow my Instagram algorithm decided that I needed to know
Speaker 3: about this and what what a feederism is. It's a
Speaker 3: fetish where you have a couple and one of them
Speaker 3: feeds the other and encourages their weight gain and and
Speaker 3: this is this is a big they're they're saying it's
Speaker 3: an underground fetish.
Speaker 5: It's not. There's nothing underground about it. It's everywhere now.
Speaker 3: But these women in particular are getting up into the
Speaker 3: five hundred and six hundred pound range.
Speaker 2: And their boyfriend or husband or whatever is feeding them
Speaker 2: to encourage them.
Speaker 3: Well, there's that element of it. Or they're feeding themselves
Speaker 3: because they're online audience. Because they film themselves gorging on
Speaker 3: any fast food. You can imagine the online the comments are, oh,
Speaker 3: you look great, keep eating.
Speaker 2: It's sick, it's you know, gross, you know what's interesting.
Speaker 2: So this is like an extreme example to help prove
Speaker 2: a point for the other stuff. This would explain why
Speaker 2: some people go down the road they go politically or whatever.
Speaker 2: If you start getting likes and encouragement from people. I
Speaker 2: mean cause, if you're going to eat yourself into five
Speaker 2: hundred pounds and you know, on early death and being
Speaker 2: miserable all the time, you certainly would be willing to,
Speaker 2: you know, encourage certain aspects of your politics because you're
Speaker 2: getting likes or encouragement and popular. It's just like being
Speaker 2: one of the popular kids. That's maybe that's what's driving
Speaker 2: all our problems in America. People are more susceptible to
Speaker 2: likes and encouragement online than we even realized.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think if you're hoping for likes and
Speaker 4: encouragement from your family, your friends, the people who live
Speaker 4: with you in your town, the people you see at
Speaker 4: church or associate with and whatever, that is going to
Speaker 4: guide you in a certain direction. But if you just
Speaker 4: venture onto the internet and see what you can get.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it was the other interesting thing.
Speaker 3: I hopped over to TikTok to look because everybody, if you,
Speaker 3: if you look at their what's called a link tree,
Speaker 3: now they've got Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and it's all of
Speaker 3: their platforms. Right, Yeah, it's because all of everybody's got
Speaker 3: a profile on everything. Now. Sure, So I went from
Speaker 3: this particular feeders whose page popped up on my Instagram
Speaker 3: and I wo jumped over to TikTok. Now on TikTok,
Speaker 3: the encouragement is through the roof. On Instagram, there was
Speaker 3: a lot of hate like this is unhealthy, you shouldn't
Speaker 3: be promoting obesity, you shouldn't be doing this, that and
Speaker 3: the other.
Speaker 5: But if you go over to TikTok, it was your
Speaker 5: beautiful keep it up. Wow, Oh my gosh, I'd love
Speaker 5: to feed you.
Speaker 2: So the Chinese Communist Party algorithm includes if this is
Speaker 2: bad for people in America, encourage it. Yeah, I'll bet
Speaker 2: that's what it is.
Speaker 4: It would be as simple as that. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: If your husband is feeding you like with a fork,
Speaker 2: encouraging you to be five hundred pounds, he's trying to
Speaker 2: kill you. Yes, that's what he's doing.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 5: Oh, but they're making money, They're making money because of it.
Speaker 2: Wow, that is an interesting insight into the power of
Speaker 2: peer pressure. I guess you'd call it, or I don't
Speaker 2: even know what you call it, neediness wanting to belong
Speaker 2: part of Maslow's hierarchy, needs the need to belong. But wow,
Speaker 2: that takes it to an extreme.
Speaker 3: Lef Yeah, and it definitely falls into the mental health
Speaker 3: thing too, because if you watch some of these videos,
Speaker 3: it's just there's something wrong.
Speaker 5: You know, Yeah, clearly big time.
Speaker 2: I was reading something over the weekend I was planning
Speaker 2: to get on the air about social contagions, how they
Speaker 2: are a real thing and giving examples through the years,
Speaker 2: and they were they were using currently the whole trans thing.
Speaker 2: It's a social contagion, and it's just it's like a
Speaker 2: man calling trans a disease is going to get me
Speaker 2: into trouble, But a contagion is a contagent, and it
Speaker 2: just spreads that way. And they use the example through
Speaker 2: the years of anorexia and school shootings and a variety
Speaker 2: of things. They just catch on and one of the
Speaker 2: feeder thing is just a social contagion.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is not. It's not a good Wow. I
Speaker 5: don't and I don't know why.
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, I just went to my Explore
Speaker 3: page and it was like nineteen of these videos.
Speaker 4: Why can't I did somebody prank you that? Dear?
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't. I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Why can't I fall prey to the social contagion of
Speaker 2: like eating well and exercising regularly and getting plenty of sleep.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do it, but all the cool
Speaker 2: people are doing it, and I just can't stop. Why
Speaker 2: doesn't that happen to me?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm reminded of a discussion on
Speaker 4: the show about a certain political subculture, and you know,
Speaker 4: I pointed out if a tenth of a percent, a
Speaker 4: tenth of one percent of people are into it, that's
Speaker 4: three hundred and forty thousand on the internet constantly tweeting
Speaker 4: about how it's clearly true and a great idea and
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. That's a lot of mass since we
Speaker 4: all take in, you know, every single corner of the
Speaker 4: world is our inputs, which is incredibly unhealthy. In my opinion, I.
Speaker 2: Think a thousand people would look alike a lot in
Speaker 2: an online feed on Instagram or something like that. It
Speaker 2: would seem like everybody's doing it. It could be a
Speaker 2: thousand people. Weird man.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't like modernity. I want to go back.
Speaker 1: It's nice to see you guys. Y'all look good.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess that's it.
