1 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's a brand new episode. This is laugh 2 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: with Me and Bye Gost with Jeremy Aum and I'm 3 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: your o Jay oh Man. I gotta tell you about 4 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 1: a month ago, I told you about how I saved 5 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: a turkey. Okay, I saved this poor turkey's life. You 6 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: can go back. You can actually listen to the whole episode. 7 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: It's called I Saved a Turkey, so it's pretty easy 8 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: to find. But the thing is, this turkey, in the 9 00:00:54,760 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: midst of December holiday shopping, was in the middle in 10 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: the median, in the middle of like six lanes of 11 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: very busy traffic here in Omaha, and it was just 12 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: a pacing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. 13 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: Didn't know where it was going, back and forth, back 14 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth. This turkey definitely was scared. 15 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: So we parked the car. I hop out, maneuver through 16 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: the traffic, get to the median, help the turkey across 17 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: the road. Right. I think that's the end of the 18 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: story with this turkey. I mean, it's gotta be right, 19 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: it's got to be a happy ending, it turns out, 20 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: and we just came across this on TikTok. This turkey 21 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: has continued to raise hell in that same section of traffic. 22 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: Just now it's running around in the road like, I'm 23 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: almost wondering, did I not save the turkey? Did did 24 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: the turkey want something bad to happen? Did this turkey 25 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: have ulterior motives? Like what what exactly was this turkey 26 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: trying to accomplish in the middle of just insane traffic, 27 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: six lanes of just go go, go go traffic, pacing 28 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: back and forth. But this turkey is still out there. 29 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: There's a the TikTok. The video is is of a 30 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: police officer chasing the turkey, trying to get this turkey 31 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: to cross the road. So my first thought was, all right, 32 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: maybe the turkey wanted to raise hell, right, Maybe that's 33 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: what this turkey was destined to do. Maybe that's this 34 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: turkey's job. Maybe this is what he's you know, you've 35 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: got those people that are like they're they're they just 36 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: sit in the middle there the right when you stop 37 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: for the lights, and they're you know, they want money, right, 38 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: they're they're asking for money, the panhandlers. Maybe this is 39 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: the turkey version of that. So that was my first thought. 40 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: My second thought was, well, this police officer is struggling 41 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: to get this turkey. I mean, the turkey is just 42 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: to run it. So either I'm just better equipped and 43 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: maybe more trustworthy to the turkey than the police are. 44 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: Or maybe this turkey knows something that we don't and 45 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: needed to stay clear of this Omaha police officer. Maybe 46 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: there's something to it. I don't know, but the TikTok 47 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: definitely got me thinking, because that this turkey should have 48 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: just been moving on and enjoying its life. And it 49 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: turns out there's more to the story. So the turkey's 50 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: out there. If you are in the you find yourself 51 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: in the Omaha area. It was around one hundred and 52 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty Second L near the L Street 53 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: marketplace there, just in the main Nain level of traffic there. 54 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: It's wild. It's wild. I still feel good about saving 55 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: the turkey though, Like that doesn't like I'm not like, 56 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: oh man, what a waste of effort there, No, not 57 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: at all. Like I still feel good. I feel like 58 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: I did the right there. But now I'm just like, 59 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: all right, this turkey's got something. Or maybe the turkey 60 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: wanted to tell it story. Maybe the turkey hurt the 61 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: pod and was like I need to get on lap 62 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: with me. There's only one way to get this fellow's attention, 63 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: and that's to create, you know, create more help. So 64 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe maybe eventually we can get this 65 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: turkey on the pod. That would be quite the deal. 66 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: So that's the update with the turkey. I felt, I 67 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: felt compelled to need to tell this story because the 68 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: fact that this turkey is still going is uh is 69 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: pretty wild to me. So, yeah, how's everybody doing this week? Man? 70 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: A little doctors visit. As everybody knows, I uh, I 71 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: do have the Crohn's disease. And one of the things 72 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: that comes with that, not just the constant pain, the 73 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: constant fatigue, the low the anemia. I mean, I could 74 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: go on and on with the negatives. One of the positives. 75 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: I get to see doctors pretty frequently, and generally that's 76 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: a good thing because then I feel like, hey, there's 77 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: some doctors really using their talents and their knowledge to 78 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: hopefully help me someday, someday, someday, Right doctor, someday, Right, Johnny, Johnny, 79 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: He'll see a doctor once a year, reluctantly and perfectly healthy. 80 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: Drinks like a fish, eats like a pig perfect bill 81 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: of health. I think it's all the running you do, Bud. 82 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: It's got to be all the running you do. But 83 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: either way, it's in here, no there, I've got the chrones. 84 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: So I see the doctor. So I just I had 85 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: changed medication a few months ago. Okay, so now we're 86 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: trying out this new medication. So that I had my 87 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: follow up visit to uh, you know, see how things 88 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: were going. And that's always good because a few years ago, 89 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't getting these follow up visits. I wasn't getting 90 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: much attention at all from the doctors until we had 91 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: a a pretty big blow up after one of my 92 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: er visits from everything. But now I'm getting all kinds 93 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: of attention. But here's the thing I get. I get 94 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: the visits. So I need to tell you about this 95 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: because doctors, I often wonder, and I'm not taking anything 96 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: away from they go to school, that they their education 97 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: and their knowledge on in this area far exceeds anything 98 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: I will ever know about anything in my life. I 99 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: truly believe that because they did put the time, the energy, 100 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: the investment into their career to know this stuff. So 101 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: I do fully believe they are doing all of everything 102 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: they can to know all of everything that can about 103 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: this particular subject. I truly believe that. Sometimes though, I 104 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: wonder what's going on in that computer screen when they're 105 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: just a clicking on the computer screen, because there's only 106 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: so many clicks, so many things you can put into 107 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: my profile. I mean, there's just gotta be so what 108 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: are they looking for? Are they googling? One visit I 109 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: had with hematology when we were we were talking about 110 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: my anemia and just my disease and things like that, 111 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: and it was like it came straight out of the 112 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: TV show House, you know it used to be on Fox. 113 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: You had the old vet doc that's in charge, and 114 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: he's in there with his four students I would assume 115 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: students or at some level of doctor, and they're there 116 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: and they're watching. They're the ones answering all the questions. 117 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: He's asking questions. I don't say a damn thing. They're 118 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: answering all the questions. And then occasionally we'll have to 119 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: get a Google out, We'll have to get a Google 120 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: search out for something, and that's fine. I thought it 121 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: was an interesting As long as I'm taking care of 122 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: in the end, that's all that matters to me. Well, 123 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: in this particular situation, I do my GI office. My 124 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: main doctor doesn't come intil the end. He's the main event. 125 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: So I get the doctor that's reporting to him right 126 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: that I can only assume is some kind of student 127 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: of some type, and he's asking, you know, questions. It's 128 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, you've been to the doctor ask you twenty questions, 129 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: and a lot of times it's the same questions over 130 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: and over again. I don't know if they're just trying 131 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: to see if maybe you've forgot something and you'll answer 132 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: it differently this time. I don't know what the point 133 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: of that is, but they do ask the same questions 134 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: over and over and over. And this particular doctor, this 135 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: is the first time I've met this guy. We've been 136 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: going through students like crazy at this office lately, and 137 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on there. I didn't have 138 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: the time to ask questions about that because we were 139 00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: so focused on this. He says, I'm an anomaly. Normally, 140 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: patience will react to the medicine they've been giving me 141 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: special at the level that we are at now, you know, 142 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: with I'm on trimfaya. So they said, well, normally three 143 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: months on Triumphaya, and you would be showing some good 144 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: signs of improvement. He says, you're an anomaly because you're the 145 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: medicine isn't helping you. Now one hand, I think it's 146 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: my it's my uh, it's not just the disease. I 147 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: think it's it's one of those things where you know, 148 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: when you're like, uh, chronically sick, they generally tell you 149 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: to like take it easy, you know, just try to 150 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: help your body help you. And I only know one way, 151 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: and that's just to go until I can't and then 152 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm down and out. Now in the last year or so, 153 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: I've slowed down a little bit. That's because I'm so tired. 154 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: Doc says, I'm an anomaly, something special going on here. 155 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It took it a step further. 156 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he didn't think I knew 157 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: what anomaly meant, but the way he wanted to describe 158 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: it to me was with a comparison. He goes, I'm 159 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: gonna give you a comparison to what you are right 160 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: now with your medicine. He goes, you're a This episode 161 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: of Laugh with Me, a podcast with Jeremy odem Is 162 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: brought to you by Celebrate your Memorial.

You know, when you get like 174 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: a frozen steak, you don't want to just put that 175 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: frozen steak right on the grill, right because then you're 176 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: only gonna get the outside heated up, and then eventually 177 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: the inside is just gonna continue to be frozen, or 178 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: at least not cooked as well. I'm like, all right, 179 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: He's like, you need to thought a little bit, got 180 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: de frost You gotta get the frosty outside just a 181 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: little bit so that way as it's cooking, it cooks 182 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: the inside and I go, yeah, I know, I understand 183 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: how that works. I've growed before. He says, that's kind 184 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: of how you are. We got to defrost you, we 185 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: gotta thaw you a little bit. So we're giving you 186 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: these levels of medicine right now to get that, to 187 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: get that going, and then and then we'll get to 188 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: maintenance levels and then boom boom boom, your body's absorbing 189 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: it and then you're feeling better. And I go, okay, 190 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: I like that part of it. I like the idea 191 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: that I'm going to get better. I don't understand how 192 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm a frozen steak. I don't understand that. I also 193 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: don't freeze a lot of steaks. I usually go to 194 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: the meet donner and get mistake, grill it up that 195 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: day or the next day or the day after. But 196 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: I am familiar with the thawing process. But man, yeah, 197 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: this doc he just kept comparing me to the frozen steak. 198 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: And he just kept coming back to it, coming back 199 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: to it, and I'm like, Okay, I'm a frozen steak. 200 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: I'm a frozen steak. I get it. I get it. 201 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: So then we move on. He never brings it up again. 202 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: My main doctor comes in, so now we're onto the 203 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: main event, and he's saying a lot of the same 204 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: things the other doctor said, but without the frozen steak part. 205 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: And in the end, we decide we're gonna see this through. 206 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: We're gon we're gonna continue on the same medicine, the 207 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: same process that we're currently on, to see if I 208 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: can get better, because apparently I just needed to frost 209 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. I need to fall a little bit 210 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: before we get to the good stuff. So we'll see. 211 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: But something he did want me to do. He put 212 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: immediate orders in for laps, so he wanted some blood 213 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: take in to run. And I'm pretty I'm very familiar 214 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: with that, so I knew. I figured that was going 215 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: to be part of the deal. But the other part 216 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: of the deal, and this was something that I knew 217 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: was coming, but I wasn't quite sure how we were 218 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: going to go about it. Was. I had to provide 219 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: a like a stool sample. If you're not familiar with 220 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: the stool sample, it's where you have to poop in 221 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: this this like cup thing. It catches it in the 222 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: toilet there before it hits the water, and then you 223 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: gotta like use this wooden stick and shove it inside 224 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: a vial. And this is the most important part. And 225 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: I thought the important part was making sure that it 226 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: appropriately was shoved into the vial. No, the most important 227 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: part is that you write your name, the date and 228 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: the time in which you provided the sample on the 229 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: outside of the pill bottle of the vial. There. That's 230 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: the most important part, at least based on how much 231 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: everybody stresses that this happens. That's what I'm assuming is 232 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: the most important part. So they give me the stool kit. Now, 233 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: I had received a call a few days prior and 234 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: from a nurse and was told that I needed to 235 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: get the stool sample. And I'm like, well, I don't 236 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: have a stool kit. I'm like, all right, well, we'll 237 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: provide you with the stool kit when you get here. 238 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: But nobody everybody always does this at home, you know. 239 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: They take it home and they do it, and you refrigerate 240 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: your boop and then bring it back drop it off 241 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: the lap. Don't operate that way. I feel like that's 242 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: so many different steps. I like to look for the 243 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: efficiencies and things, and I'm like, they're gonna give me 244 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: a stool kit here at the office. Well, I'm sure 245 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: as shit going to give you your sample while I'm here. 246 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to maximize this visit, that's for sure, especially 247 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: for seventy five dollars copay. Seventy five dollars copay, I'm 248 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: going to maximize this. So he gets me stoolkin like, 249 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: oh yeah, I go down I get the uh get 250 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: the blood taken. Okay, So I go downstairs, I go 251 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: down the lab, get the blood. The blood that that 252 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: that goes great outside of the fifteen minute wait. I 253 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: always wonder about that. My when you're in there and 254 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: you're getting blood taken, it only takes you five minutes 255 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: or less. Usually five minutes or less in and out 256 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: less there's complications, So why is it taking so long 257 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: to get seen back there? I don't know. That's I digress. 258 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: So I asked the lab person as after she's taking 259 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: my blood, and I'm like, all right, so I have 260 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: to give this stool sample as well the fecal lab. 261 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: Do you want that? Do I give that to you? 262 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: She goes, oh no, no, you'll give that to the people 263 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: at the front desk, and I'm like perfect. So I 264 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: immediately go out to the front desk and I'm like, 265 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to give you this vehicle and they're like, no, no, no, 266 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: you should have given it to the person back. I'm like, whatever, 267 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: okay either way. So I go, I go and I 268 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: use the bathroom, and I gotta say it was pretty 269 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: I can do this on a drop of a dime. 270 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: I've done this before. One time. I'm in the er 271 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: for the anemia because I needed blood badly and they 272 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: wanted a stool sample and they were gonna give me. 273 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: Uh but what's the what's the Johnny, what's the thing 274 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: where they made like if they force your body to 275 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: need to shiit, what's the I forgot, Johnny, you gotta 276 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: be better at this stuff. I know you're a specimen 277 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: of perfect health, but I need you, man. Google that. 278 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: Google that please. They were gonna get me one of those, 279 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: and I was like, nah, I could just go now. 280 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: And they're like, nobody can just poop at the drop 281 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: of a dime on demand, While I can. I can, 282 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: and I did, and everybody was pretty impressed. So I 283 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: thought this would be another opportunity for me to be 284 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: able to show off my talents. So I go to 285 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: the bathroom and I do all that. The issue is 286 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: I've got to dispose of the big thing that goes 287 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 1: on top of the toilet that catches your poop, and 288 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna smell. There's no hiding that because I'm not 289 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: washing it. I'm just throwing it away. And they had 290 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 1: an exposed trash can, which I thought was odd for 291 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: a hospital, but whatever, it's not my deal. So anyway, 292 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: I do it. I take the stick and I shove 293 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: it all in the h the vial, and I write, 294 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: I trust me, I wrote my name, I wrote the date, 295 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: I wrote the time, which was just right then. So 296 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: I did it, and then I walked myself right to 297 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: the counter and I'm like, I got you. They It 298 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: turns out they it's just as uncomfortable for them, not 299 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: only when you're dropping it off. They bring out this 300 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: little tub and they're like, just put it in here, 301 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 1: just just drop it in the tub. It's just as 302 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: awkward for them when you're dropping it off. It's even 303 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: more awkward for them when they know you just did it. 304 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: They know it's still warm, which I don't know if 305 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: maybe that's part of the fun. Maybe that's why I 306 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: like doing it that way. I don't know, It's not 307 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: anything that I'm like trying to do this is not 308 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: intentional where I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have a blast 309 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: doing this, They're gonna be so like, feel so awkward 310 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: about it. No, I just feel like I'm maximizing my 311 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: time by doing this one visit, right. But then something 312 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: inside of me must really enjoy that part because I 313 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: got a kick out of it as I'm walking away, 314 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: as I'm hurriedly running out of there. But it is 315 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: weird walking around anywhere, honestly with a bunch of poop 316 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: in your pocket. You know, just luckily I've had that 317 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: little vial keep it in. But you get the the 318 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: people next to you waiting in line, like, what's that smell? 319 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: It's the that's the literal shit that's in my pocket. 320 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: That's that's what the smell is. Oh yeah, well anyway, 321 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: that's what's been going on with me. I don't. You 322 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: just never know anymore.
