Uh One, there was a ton 35 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: of traffic, and as I got to the studio, too, 36 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: there was no sign of of Ben Maller. I'm kind 37 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: of curious, like everybody else coming back to work won't 38 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: even get your ass in the studio. Uh well, I 39 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: am really following the guidelines of management, and they've not 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: asked me to come back. I did go down there 41 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: to pick up some mail. If I had to have 42 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: to go back because Doc Mike sent me a book 43 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 1: about piss so I guess I've got to pick that up, 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: which he thinks is he thinks once I read this, 45 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: I'll be brainwashed and I'll be hornswaggled into like guzzling 46 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: my urine after this, which I am very confident will 47 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: not happen. Uh. And there's some other things I need 48 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: to pick up. So I will go in there. And 49 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: I have considered, you know, randomly, you know, going in 50 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: and doing a doing a show. But I have a 51 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: set up here. And the thing that I've noticed now 52 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: because they have the company has me doing these YouTube 53 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: videos in the home studio, it's set up per quickly 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: to record these things, and it's not set up the 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: same way in the main studio, which you think would 56 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: be the opposite, but it's not. And I've I'm a 57 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: pretty good set up here that I've got my routine down. 58 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: So I know at some point I'm gonna have to 59 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: figure out how to do do the the setup in 60 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: in the hub, but that's part of it. But now 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: I haven't haven't gone in there, and maybe i'll maybe 62 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I'll go in at some point and surprise you. I'll 63 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: pop in and say, hey, look here I am. Do 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: you miss me? Do you miss coming into the studio? 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: You know I do. But I'm at the problem. I'm 66 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: getting used to this now. It's been two months of 67 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: doing the show from the home studio, so I'm kind 68 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: of used to that now. But I like the energy. 69 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: I've always got into radio. One of the reasons I 70 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: got a radio is because I loved walking into the 71 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: radio station. Remember the first time I walked into the 72 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: Mighty six ninety in San Diego and I was like, 73 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: this is awesome. The vibe, the energy. Of course, there's 74 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: none of that right now at radio stations because because 75 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: of what's going on. But I'd really like to get 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: back in that. You feel like, you know, special when 77 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: you walk in there. You feel like this is a 78 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: big job. You know when you walk into a race station. 79 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: When you walk into your home studio, you don't feel 80 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: that big, you don't feel that important. And in a plus, 81 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: it's cool. I mean we we worked Steve Harvey, a 82 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: legend entertainment. His studio is right across the hall from us. 83 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: There's so many great stars that work at Premiere in 84 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: radio in our profession that it's you feel like this 85 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: is big. You know, this is cool where we with 86 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: all these legends and then now we're all we're all 87 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: a part more than ever. Yeah, there's something really empowering 88 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: about getting off the four oh five freeway. I know. 89 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: I know now that Claire. Now our studios if you 90 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: ever come to l A when things open up and 91 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: we invite studios people into the studio and stuff, the 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: studios are right where the four oh five and the 93 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: one on one merge. And I'm happy to report that 94 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: I take the one oh one. I do not get 95 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: on the four oh five. The only reason I were 96 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: to get on the four oh five is if the 97 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: offer amp right there at the Ventura is shut down 98 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: for some reason or sup Paul, and I'll I'll then 99 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: have to jump on the four or five. But that's it. 100 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't don't go on the four or five. That's 101 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: a point of demarcation. I do not cross the four 102 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: oh five. Don't do it. Don't cross it. Yeah, you 103 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: don't even cross it when you go get Tito's Tacos. 104 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: That's true. I saw that Tito's is opening up on 105 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: June one, but only only four delivery and only local deliveries. 106 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: So that means we were trying to figure out. I 107 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: was talking to the wife about this. I was like, 108 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: how are we gonna get my my tetoes fixed? Because 109 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: I don't have an address right near ttos. So I 110 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: was thinking, either maybe I'll deliver the car, you know, 111 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: I could sit in there, you know, parking lot somewhere. 112 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: Or my father in law has a business in downtown 113 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He's he runs a like a a storage 114 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: warehouse thing in in l A. So I could go 115 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: maybe at his place and then have him deliver there, 116 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: which I think is close enough that it might work. 117 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: So I have spent some time thinking about I wonder 118 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: if they take telephone call is because Chick fil A, 119 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: which is down the street from US and and Sino 120 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: was doing that. They have the Chick fil A app, 121 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: So they'll only serve you if you're either driving through 122 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: the drive through or you order through your app, and 123 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: then you can pick it up either the parking lot 124 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: or you can pick it up at the at the door, 125 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: like they'll have a door where you have a couple 126 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: of vendors that come in and out servers. Yeah, yeah, 127 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: I I went last week, uh, and to to make 128 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: sure my dad was still alive. I don't I don't 129 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: want to get in trouble guests come. But I did 130 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: visit my father. I'm a bad person. I did. I 131 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: visited my old man and so I picked up some 132 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: we picked up some food to to bring to him, 133 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: you know, some meal and obviously, and we went to 134 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: a restaurant that we like. And you can't just walk 135 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: up in order at that place, you had they had slass. 136 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: You had to park your car and you had order 137 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: on the phone. So even though I was right there 138 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: talking to the person, you know, we were talking about it, 139 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: they had now you gotta go, you gotta do it 140 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: on the app or whatever, and that that whole thing. 141 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: They didn't have a drive through. Now, So what's uh, 142 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: what's on the menu today? All right? So this is 143 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: a mildly marginally entertaining show. We're in the in the 144 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: middle part of this show, we're gonna get to another doctor. 145 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna call him Dr G. And this is a 146 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: fan of the show. This is a fan of the 147 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: podcast on the radio show who reached out to me 148 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: to come on this podcast. He had some things he 149 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: wanted to say. He was upset with the the narrative 150 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: about the coronavirus in the way that it's being described 151 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 1: in many of the mainstream media outfits. And he felt 152 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: like he's on the front lines. They're working at a 153 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: hospital on the East Coast, and he wanted his story told. 154 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: And I was a little skeptical at first because I 155 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: was I don't really know, but he We had him confirmed. 156 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: We did our due diligence to make sure he was legit, 157 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: because I, you know, anybody can email me from any 158 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: you know where, and but this guy is a legit guy. 159 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: He sent us I mean everything possibly you could imagine 160 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: to verify who he was is and uh and he 161 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: did that and so so that's that's how this all 162 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: kind of began. And we'll have him on talking about 163 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: his story and whatnot. But before we get to that, 164 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: we've got the flint Stones meets the Jetsons. Instead of 165 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: set it and forget it, just forget it, we've got that, 166 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: but we begin with what's in the box? What's in 167 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: the box? So you know, I I'm pretty much hermit. 168 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: I go I leave my house for like an hour 169 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: a day here, Uh, I go for a walk. Sometimes 170 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: it's an hour and a half. I went on a 171 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: two hour walk the other day. I got I couldn't. 172 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: I'm in a sleeping very well it was, which sucks. 173 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 1: And so as I get up, is I gotta get 174 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: some sun, get out, get a little daylight, you know, 175 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: see the world, walk around. I can't go to the 176 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: gym anymore. That's over. So I went out walking around. 177 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: But uh so then, you know, I don't usually check 178 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: the mail, even you know who's gonna send email. So 179 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: they get this message, Hey, go check your portion from 180 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: from from gag on. So I go out there and 181 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: there's this big box you know what, I'm thinking, Oh boy, 182 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: And it's got some kind of like like a health 183 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 1: label on it. You know, I see like like a 184 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: buzzword there, like you know, I think I saw organic 185 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: on that or something like that. So I'm like, what 186 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: the what the perishable perishable perishable is not organic? But 187 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: I saw there's a big word on the box, big 188 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: block box. I liked, did guests gott have Doc Mike 189 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: send me goat head or something like that? And so 190 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: then I this massive box. I take it through the 191 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 1: front door of the Mallard mansion. I put it there 192 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: on the kitchen counter. I then have to run back. 193 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: I grabbed some scissors to kind of cut open the boxes. 194 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: It does say perishable on it. I opened the box 195 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: and it says here there's a message right on top. 196 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: It says to Ben Maller from West of the four 197 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: oh five. Never in my whole life have I ever 198 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: been more afraid to see the end results of this endeavor. 199 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: God help us all. And there is a what looks 200 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: like a beautiful piece of meat here. It's American wagu 201 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: Tomahawks steak ball in. And I assume you want me 202 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: to do like a cooking video guest on, Is that 203 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: what you would like me to do here? Just you know, 204 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: I was thinking of that, asking maybe Fats to come 205 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: on to guide you through this, but he's currently probably 206 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: lighting himself on fire again. But to give you the 207 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: skinny on this thing, it's it's forty ounces two and 208 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: a half pounds or two pounds. Excuse me, um, and yeah, 209 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: I a buddy of two friends of mine, Um Colin, 210 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: who you you've got a chance to meet a couple 211 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, Uh Colin, And my other buddy Patrick, 212 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: who who's on the front lines as well, working in 213 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: um l a city fire department. Um, we actually went 214 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: to the Langham Hotel like a year or two ago 215 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: just to go out and have some dinner. And they 216 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: have a restaurant in the steakhouse called the Royce and 217 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: I've never had a tom hank before, and so a 218 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 1: friend of ours actually worked there and she's like, you 219 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: gotta get it. So they brought out this giant dish 220 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: and that's all we d me. Colin and Patrick. We 221 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: ordered the Tomahawk, which was a little pricey, but I 222 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: kid you not, with forty ounces, I could ate that 223 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: whole damn thing myself. It was so good. But we 224 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: absolutely demolished that thing. And I figured this would be 225 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: a perfect present for the guy that celebrated his birthday 226 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: that absolutely threw me against the cross and stoned me 227 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: to death and said I didn't reach out to for birthday. 228 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: So given that, given that the shortage and meat, Ben, 229 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: this was actually ordered before your birthday. Was my thirty birthday, 230 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: just turned thirty. But to be completely transparented, you know, 231 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: it took a while to get to you, just obviously 232 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: with the shortage, and uh, well, thank you, it's very 233 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: kind of you, and I see the uh it's got 234 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 1: a little pamplet that this thing came with on how 235 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: to properly cook the steak. But I noticed there it 236 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: says your preference. It's got listed here rare medium, rare 237 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: medium medium. Well, I do not see well, do not 238 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: see well listed here? And it's got it's it's it's 239 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: somewhat annoying here that they don't have that. They're like 240 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: our people are being shunned. You know. The President Donald 241 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: Trump loves his food well done, much like myself. So 242 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: but I do not see that. But I guess I'll 243 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: have to do it medium. Well. Then, yes, I guess 244 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: I'll have to get a little pink in the middle 245 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: there and take the medium. Well, I think you're gonna 246 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: have phone with it. I appreciate the very kind of 247 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: you to do that. And this is perfect for when 248 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: you because typically say, when you break your fast, you 249 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: go all out that day or that night. YEA, yeah, 250 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: I go big, I go big. I got I this 251 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: week I had let me go to the phone here, 252 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: Hold on a second, let check this out. I want 253 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: to do some fast. I'll be like you bragging about 254 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: my fast fast. No, that was only when my gallbladder 255 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: got taken out. That I had my record fast, the 256 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: longest fast ever ninety point one hours because I had 257 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: I had not eaten for forty eight hours, and then 258 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: I went to the hospital and they wouldn't let me 259 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: eat for another another couple of days. Uh, let's see 260 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: the other day this week, I went sixty four hours 261 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: at a sixty four hour fast, and I also had 262 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: a about a fifty hour fast, so I had. Yeah, 263 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: so I pretty much ate. I think I I ate 264 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: on Saturday, I eat a bunch of food on Saturday, 265 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: didn't eat on Sunday, didn't need on Monday, eight on Tuesday, 266 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: and then didn't need on Wednesday, and then eight late 267 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: on Thursday, and then you know, picked up you know 268 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: for the weekends Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I just eat 269 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: like you know, a couple of times or whatever. So well, 270 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: you know this from back in the day when you 271 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: were you were running around the world, will travel with 272 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: the Dodgers that they have this thing that everyone calls 273 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: is the slut buster. Um, this will definitely be your 274 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: fasting buster. Like I recommend that when you finished a 275 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: long fast on a Friday or Saturday, this is on 276 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: the menu. It's front and center and and you know, 277 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: I will, I will put that to use there. But 278 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: this more of a weekend item. You know, I got 279 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: it because because I can't doing the week I got 280 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 1: a lot of crap going on, and we all do it, 281 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: but on the weekend, I can just focus on the meat. 282 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: Focus on the meat. Now. That leads me to one 283 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: thing I gotta push back on you on regarding your 284 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: your regular show Monday through Friday. I thought you had 285 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: a golden opportunity to capitalize on something from from Sunday night, 286 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: and I was a little shot that you didn't um 287 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: the flu game or the pizza game, the food poisoning game. 288 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna be a perfect opportunity for 289 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: you to jump along the same linear lines as Michael 290 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: Jordan's because not only did he play in game six 291 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: in a closeout game for the Chicago Bulls, but you 292 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: actually hosted a show after burning your mouth eating pizza. 293 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: No no, no, I see that's your see you miss 294 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: getting here. I guess that is not the most impressive 295 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: feat of broadcasting with some kind of ailment. Yeah, you 296 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: shoot your pants and then hosted a show. I get 297 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: no, no no, no no. Before that, I had gold stones 298 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: the most painful thing. You think you're having a heart attack, 299 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: and I can the show continued. I kept doing the 300 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: show with gold Stones series. I had goll Stones going on. Yeah, 301 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: that was that was brutal. But anyway, we ever get 302 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: to it because we got a lot to be a 303 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: lot very long podcast. So the flint Stones meet the Jetsons. 304 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: That is an outdated reference, but you know it sometimes 305 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: in television. Typically in television they have crossovers. You know, 306 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: it's like where characters of different shows get together. It's 307 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: kind of obvious, Like, you know, I grew up watching 308 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: the flint Stones and the Jetsons all these old cartoons, 309 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: and they had an episode where there's like some kind 310 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: of time machine and Fred flint Stone and the Jetsons 311 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: got together and all that. So I bring this up 312 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: because I got a phone call from management the other 313 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: day and then you know, ring ring, I'm like, anytime 314 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: I see management, I'm like, gosh, ship, what did I do? 315 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: You know? What did I say? I'm like going through 316 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: my head. Did I say something? Did something get on 317 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: the other shouldn't have gotten the air? Did they finally 318 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: hear O, Mike, you know what's going on? And so Anyway, 319 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: management calls me up and they're like, hey, we've got 320 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: a proposal, and I was like, okay, I'm listening. Uh. 321 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: They said, we want to do a crossover show. I 322 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: said okay, uh, and so I I agree to it. 323 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm actually excited about this. And so this coming Thursday, 324 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: I in Thursday and the Friday, the Friday show on 325 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: the Overnight. I will not be in the Overnight the 326 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: normal seat here, which I'm reluctant to leave that position, 327 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: but I will not be on that show Friday of 328 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: this week.

I know 346 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: part of the reason why you're not apprehensive about doing 347 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: this is because you're already used to k l a 348 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: c a M. Five seventy here in Los Angeles covering 349 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: your show up, so this will be no different for 350 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: you during the prime hours here in Los Angeles is 351 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: being covered up? Uh yeah. Well. One one thing that 352 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: we point out here that does have I get covered 353 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: up reruns of baseball games, which is really a kick 354 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: in the nuts. But I understand, and they sold it. 355 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: They have advertising whatever. Good for them. I don't really care. 356 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: And I used to get really upset about being covered 357 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 1: up and I rant and rave and I remember one 358 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: time years ago when Fox Sports Radio was in his 359 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: early days, and I found out that the they were 360 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: replaying Olympic events overnight, and I was getting covered up 361 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: by like, you know, lose or something like that. But 362 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: did you say women's ice hockey, Well that was yeah, 363 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: I was even before that. Yeah, I got preempted by 364 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: women's Olympic trial hockey, which was really a just a 365 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: dagger to the to the gut. But but I learned 366 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: at some point, you know, you do the show and 367 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: if people love the show, they'll find the show, like 368 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: the fans of the show will find it. You can't 369 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: really worry about that. And the great thing now more 370 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: than ever, like back in those days there was no podcasting, 371 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: didn't really exist. You either listen to the show live 372 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: or that was it. But now like if you miss it, 373 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: you can there's like seven thousand different ways you can 374 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: hear the show. You can satellite radio and if you're 375 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: driving a truck, get satellite radio. Can hear the show. 376 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: UM almost always cleared on on Sirious x M channel 377 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: eighty three, and you've got I Heart Radio. The streaming services. 378 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: There's some other streaming services. We're not supposed to say 379 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: that our shows on that you can also listen to, uh, 380 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: and then we've got the I Heart app with podcasting 381 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: and all this, it's like a zillion ways you can 382 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: hear the show, so I don't really rebut it it's nice. 383 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: And it's limited though, because I mean, we're doing this 384 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: for a limited time before we go follow Jill Rogan 385 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: of Spotify, right, yes, yes, yes, I'm right now. It 386 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: doesn't have to Spotify anyone that has a hundred million 387 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: dollar check. I am in. I don't care if you 388 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: have no listeners. I could be talking into a garden hose. 389 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: I don't care. I will yell into that garden hose 390 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: loud and proud. Chi ching, Chi ching. I'm telling you 391 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: right now, my dream is to be a sellout. I 392 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: want people to call me a sellout. I want people 393 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: to say, you're just some rich guy. I want that, 394 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: you know. I did a monologue this week about the owners, 395 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 1: and everyone's like shaming the owners in baseball, taking the 396 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: side of the players. I think because people look down 397 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: upon the rich, even though everyone's rich, it's just that 398 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: the owners are more wealthy. They're super rich, they're aristocrat 399 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: rich and all that. But my I don't I don't 400 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: feel that. I don't. I don't just look down upon 401 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: people because they have a lot of money. Nor do 402 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: I look down upon people because they have no money, 403 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: you know, so, but a lot of people do that. 404 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: But I would like to be one of those people 405 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: that has ridiculous few money. Uh, And that is the goal. 406 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to working with Rob. That'll be fun. 407 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: It's a standalone, one time thing. Uh. They you know, 408 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: there's a chance to do more than that. But I 409 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,239 Speaker 1: want to do the Overnight show and I didn't want to. 410 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: I want to miss that, but I am gonna miss 411 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: it one day this coming week.

How does that make you feel? That is 420 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: a low blow because you're no, because you're usually correct 421 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, But you have no editors during 422 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: your show.

I 427 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: don't know if the SAD the schedule out for the 428 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: company it says February twenty eight. Maybe I can have 429 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: a time machine and go back and do it on 430 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: February twenty eight, um, which we could go out without 431 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: masks on February and we could you know, go to 432 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: restaurants and sit down and eat like human beings. It's 433 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: amazing thing anyway. So uh, instead of set it and 434 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: forget it, just forget it now. A couple of weeks 435 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: ago we said we we thought we had a guest. 436 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: It didn't work out well. One of the people that 437 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: was in the running to be that guest. I have 438 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: been negotiating and I'll i'll let you in behind the 439 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: curtain here. And so we're trying to figure out who 440 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 1: do we want to put on the podcast. You know, 441 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: this is designed for for interviews and whatnot. And in fact, 442 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: we've got coming up in a minutes we'll hear from 443 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: Dr G who's uh working in the hospital on the 444 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: East coast, and he wanted to tell his story, so 445 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: we'll get to him coming up in a comus. But 446 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to some people that are like 447 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: I'm big fans of you know, and and one of 448 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: those people I grew up stand up late at night 449 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: watching infommercials. And the legend of infomercials is this guy 450 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: named Ron Pope Peel from the showtime Rotisserie Chicken. I 451 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: believe is the I think that was the item there, 452 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: but he had the line said it and forget it, 453 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: one of the great lines ever said. And so I 454 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: am Facebook friends friends with Ron Pope Peel, and so 455 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: I reached out to him, and then he directed me 456 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: towards his publicist. So, believe it or not, I still 457 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: got a publicist. He's not actively working anymore. He's an 458 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,719 Speaker 1: older gentleman. And I reached out to the publicist's very 459 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: nice woman for Ron Popeel, and we've been going back 460 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: and forth in email for the last couple of weeks. 461 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: And she she originally when I first contacted her, was 462 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: very excited. She said that Ron would be perfect, but 463 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: she had to check with Ron and all this stuff. 464 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: And so anyway, we went back and forth, and much 465 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: to my dismay, here we have been rejected by Ron 466 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 1: Pope Peel. He has decided not to do it, and 467 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out why. And I'm not sure. 468 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because of Lenny Dikester. I don't know. Because 469 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: they asked for a list of the people that we've 470 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: had on because I guess, you know, we don't have 471 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: big enough names or the wrong names, then these certain 472 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: people won't come on. But it's disappointing. I'm still a 473 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: Ron Pope Peel fan, not as big a fan, not 474 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: as big a fan as I was. I'm not gonna 475 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 1: lie to you, but it would have It would have 476 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: been fun because he's had an interesting, interesting career and 477 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: all that. But he is decided to pass, which is 478 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: his right there, and um, we will get other people. 479 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: Who's his rival? Maybe we should know what I should 480 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: do is we should try to get his who's the 481 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: other big guy the infomercial game that's not like Billy 482 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: Mays is dead, so we can't get him on. That's 483 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: the guy that you compared me to? You right, yeah, 484 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: you look like Billy Mays. How about the sham Wow guy. 485 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: Is he still around? The sham Wow guy? Get him on? 486 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: Or the my pillow guy that we should try to 487 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: get to my pillow guy on as like an f 488 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: you to Ron Popio. We could put my pillow guy. 489 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 1: But do you think some people do you think your 490 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: audience would be offended? Like because he's a Bible thumper? 491 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: Do you think like Ron? Yeah? Or the pillow Yeah. 492 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: Mostly just there's certain people that run around looking for 493 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: things to be offended. So those people will be offended. 494 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: The people that are running around the always offended crowd. Yeah, 495 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: I'm offensive. That is offensive to me. How dare you 496 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: calm down, snowflake? Let's get to this doctor. What do 497 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: you say here? All right? So just give you the 498 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: backstory again if you missed the beginning here, I don't 499 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: know how you missed the beginning. But I got an 500 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: email about a week ago from a fan of the 501 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: show who works at a hospital on the East Coast, 502 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: and he did not want to use his name, but 503 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: he felt it was important. He wanted to tell his 504 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: story about the coronavirus and what he's experienced, and he 505 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: was upset with some of the media coverage and the 506 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: way this thing is being portrayed in the media. And so, uh, 507 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: let's welcome in. We're gonna call him Dr G. And 508 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: we welcome him him into the Fifth Hour with Ben 509 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: Maller and David Gascon. So the first question we'll start 510 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: with this, Dr G. Why did you contact me? Yeah, 511 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I'm frustrated with um the way 512 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: that all the scientistic information about the coronavirus is being presented. 513 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: We have, you know, just a vast amount of information. 514 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 1: None of it's very good because none of it's really 515 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: been pure review and they're all small, little studies. But 516 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: unfortunately only the negative side is being displayed. And you know, 517 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: your famous mind is when the legend becomes the fact 518 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 1: to go with the legend. And it's frustrating because no 519 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: positive information is really being display to the public. Yeah, 520 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: and so you're working there, you're in the hospital, and 521 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: what has it been like the last couple of months, 522 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: because you see, I know, the first month you saw 523 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: the news stories. You're on the East coast, but the 524 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: news stories were like everything is being gonna be overwhelmed 525 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: and all that, And what is your experience, your personal 526 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: experience been like, you know, so I'm coming from the 527 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: surgical side, not necessarily the medicine boards, but we had 528 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: to completely shut everything down. We were very worried that 529 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: we were going to run out of personal protective equipment. 530 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: A lot of it comes from overseas, and so that 531 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: was a big issue. And also we wanted to be 532 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: able to funnel it towards the medicine side and save 533 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: in the case they call on us because we take 534 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: care of a lot of these patients on the respirator um. 535 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: I think the biggest frustrating thing is I had a 536 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: lot of patients who have come in and although their 537 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: surgeries aren't considered emergency surgeries, you're like your gallbladder um. 538 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: There's conditions that they can't function unless they get surgery, 539 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: and they can't go to work. So not only is 540 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: the coronavirus people off, now I have more and more 541 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: people who would be delayed too. For six weeks to 542 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: go back to work after a surgery, you have now 543 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: been delayed, you know, two or three months, not taking 544 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: a big hit. Be sure to catch live editions of 545 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 1: The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven 546 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and The I heart 547 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: radio app Yeah, and just to follow that up, I 548 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: mean you mentioned the science and we've talked about it 549 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: on this podcast a bit, because you are right, it 550 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: seems like anything that is positive. You think, normally in 551 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,239 Speaker 1: a situation like this where it seems pretty bad at 552 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: the beginning, when things change, people would get excited. But 553 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: people make their mind up in that. But but you're 554 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,719 Speaker 1: in the medical industry, so what are you what are 555 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 1: the people around you when you guys, when you're talking 556 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: behind closed doors there without giving any names to violate 557 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: hippo loss, but like, what what is the what is 558 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,479 Speaker 1: the conversation like? And how does this relate? You know, 559 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: you've been been around for a few years, so how 560 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: many How does this relate to some of the other 561 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: things that you've experience or the other doctors have experienced. 562 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: So you know, between you, me and the fence post, 563 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 1: I think it's everybody listening. A lot of us think 564 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: that this is absolutely like we're living in the twilight zone. 565 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: We don't understand. You know, it's good to be cautious. 566 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: This is not something to just blow off and make 567 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: a joke about. I mean, people are dying, and their 568 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 1: mothers and sisters and brothers and fathers. Um. But just 569 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 1: the vast or the rash steps that we've taken to 570 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: prevent this. We're all looking around each other and sitting 571 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: in the lounge or were on the wars and talking 572 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: and being like, this is not nearly as bad as 573 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: it's been predicted. Why are we not changing things and 574 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: getting more focused towards back to health. Thymus were um 575 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: and you know, I mean this kind of the same 576 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: thing happened in two thousand nine, and speaking with a 577 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: lot of the folks that were around then, obviously it 578 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: was a more familiar virus um than what's now and 579 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: it was discovered in the United States, so I think 580 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: that gave us a little more sense of security. But 581 00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: you know, Dr Fauci was on the news saying to 582 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: say things, don't touch your face, don't touch your mouth, um. 583 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: But nobody was required number of masks. We didn't perform 584 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: social distancing. Some students got led out of school, but 585 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: it wasn't nearly at this And so you know, even 586 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: these top minds, you sit around and talk with them. 587 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: And I talked with people from other cities, other hospitals, 588 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: different regions. People are a little bit perplexed as to 589 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: why these decisions are being made. Be sure to catch 590 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 591 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: a m. Eastern eleven p m Pacific dr G. Before 592 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: we brought you on on the podcast, but and I 593 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: had talked about a couple of different things. But one 594 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: of them he had mentioned was that you did not 595 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: want to use your name and where you're working at 596 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: for specific reasons. Um, what are those reasons? And why 597 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: do you feel like you can't come out specifically to 598 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: acknowledge like where you're at and what you're doing. You know, 599 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: it's really for fear minute the backlash. Um, it's there's 600 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: so much of it. You look at anybody who talks 601 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: about this positively and they're pretty much off precise. Um, 602 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: and the things that we're talking about, And I'm going 603 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: to say that about my opinions, these are this is 604 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: just published at a period view data. And even if 605 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: you try to have a civil conversation with someone about this, 606 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: if they are not in the know, Um, they look 607 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: at you as if you have some type of agenda. 608 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: And I hate I don't want to talk about politics. 609 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: I don't really prescribe to either side, But a lot 610 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: of this is being played as that, as that either 611 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: the left or the right, and there's some type of 612 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 1: political agenda, and I just don't want to deal with 613 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: that kind of backlash because I'm not here to uh, 614 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: you know, advocate for any side of here to maybe 615 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: give people a little bit of hope that things are 616 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: going to get better and they're not going to be 617 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: as bad as they've been predicted. Yeah, Like taking a 618 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: line from Dragnet's like the names have been changed to 619 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: protect the innocent, and you're in that position. Um, while 620 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: you've been working or even away from from the hospital. Um, 621 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: has anyone that you either know directly or indirectly come 622 00:30:55,640 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: across individuals that will work for FEMA? Um? I do 623 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: you have a friend who's worked for people to four? Um? 624 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: He was big with Hurricane Katrina. Basically he does inspections 625 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: of damns and housing sites, flooding fights, things like that. 626 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: But no one working with this specifically. Okay. The reason 627 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: why I was asking is because Ben and I have 628 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: gone back and forth on this because we're here in California. Uh, California, 629 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: New York, Texas, Arizona, and Florida are a big among 630 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: the biggest names in the cross the United States with 631 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: how their numbers have been cases versus deaths, deaths versus cases, 632 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: and also elderly versus the young. But people have made 633 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: this statement that states like Florida are manipulating their numbers 634 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: for the sheer reason of bringing down their cases. Do 635 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: you find or do you feel that any of that 636 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: information is actually accurate at all? Or do you feel 637 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: that what Governor of Santis has been publicizing and obviously 638 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: displaying is accurate to your best to your knowledge, you know, 639 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: I think the issue with all of these numbers is 640 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: that we're looking at a very limited set of data. UM. 641 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: The biggest thing with this is, depending on who you read, 642 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: the people that have this never know they're going to 643 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: have it, are entirely a symptomatic and a bunch of 644 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: us have been exposed and we're all younger individuals, UM, 645 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: and we mean direct contact with people we didn't know 646 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: they had it. We've operated on some people didn't know 647 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: they had it. We've never had any symptoms. So you 648 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: look at the numbers that are reported, and if what 649 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: these studies are saying is accurate, you need to at 650 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: least double the number of confirmed cases, if not multiply 651 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: it by five times. And so now that makes your 652 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: denominator huge in terms of looking at the infection fatality 653 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: rate UM and it drops it down, you know, two 654 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: to five times what it is. And if you want 655 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: to bring an antibody testing into the conversation, it goes 656 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: down even more. I mean they investing maybe fifty times 657 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: more people have already had this, So it's really hard 658 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: to say which numbers are accurate, which numbers are inaccurate. 659 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: At this time.

Yeah, 663 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,719 Speaker 1: it's it's interesting, dr G. Because I have some friends 664 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: that are in the medical industry and they've told me 665 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: that they they think this has been in America since 666 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: like maybe December, possibly before that, with people traveling from 667 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: China and the things spreading around. So this shutdown didn't 668 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: start till March, so you're i mean, the timeline on this, 669 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: it's kind of mind boggling when you think about the 670 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: amount of people that came out of Wuhan, China, where 671 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: they think this started and to America, to two hub 672 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: cities in America, and then those people went out and 673 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: this is as contagious as everyone thinks it is, but 674 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: not as deadly as everyone you know now thinks it is. 675 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: It's really crazy. I think this this probably went around December, January, 676 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: February three months unchecked, and then in the United States, 677 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: and then in March they decided that we better, we 678 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: better roll this out. It's it's kind of I mean, 679 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: the numbers are are what have you been tested through 680 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: the antibodies or any of that stuff, or have you 681 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 1: had the coronavirus. We have not been testing. Only way 682 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: we're getting tested is if we become a symptomatic UM 683 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: excuse me, symptomatic pardon me. I have been exposed to 684 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: multiple individuals UM. And you know, essentially they didn't have 685 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: a stop coming to work. It was just you go 686 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: and you wear your N ninety five the entire time 687 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: that you were there, and if you start to develop 688 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: any symptoms UM that they would test you because they 689 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: were trying to keep the kids. Essentially, for those who 690 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: were symptomatic UM. The biggest reason is because the kids 691 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: aren't very good and so you have to use multiple 692 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: testing kits on folks to actually ensure that they have 693 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: the coronavirus. And then you know, those are the folks 694 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 1: that you treate outs you a hiring unit of care, 695 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: so they're not just testing us, UM testing us widely. 696 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: And to talk to your point, you look at the 697 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: number of flights that come into l a X from 698 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: UM Asia, especially China every day. I mean you're talking 699 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: about thirty fifty thousand flights UM in that time span 700 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: string in November through Christmas where this thing was just 701 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: going unchecked. Dr G. Two other questions that I need 702 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: to do in terms of follow up with this based 703 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: on what you're doing your activity level instead the hospital. 704 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 1: One is what is the morale like? And then too 705 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,520 Speaker 1: what are your schedule has been? Like are you working 706 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,400 Speaker 1: twelves or you working eight teens? Are you're working twenty four? Is? Like, 707 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: how has that been structured? And do you feel like 708 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot more strain built on the hospitals now 709 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: that you're at UM as opposed to the pandemic actually 710 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: opening up? So I think morale UM is a little 711 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,400 Speaker 1: down just because we've been UM you know, sort of 712 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: clamped down by the system just to try to ensure 713 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: that everyone's safe. Um, we're also when things are opening 714 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 1: up for us here, we're starting to get back to 715 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: our normal daily lives. But people have very highly active people, 716 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: especially in surgical fields, and when you're sitting around you're 717 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: unable to do things, you're not able to act. That 718 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: definitely weighs on you. In terms of hours, you know, 719 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: we work alone anyone and we're usually there from trove 720 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: the fourteen hours a day regardless, So it really hasn't 721 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: changed it for us. I think probably on the side 722 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: of the medicine folks, UM there there maybe a little 723 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,399 Speaker 1: bit longer in terms of days in a row now 724 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: because they're trying to separate people or you keep half 725 00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: the staff out for as many as you can for 726 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,000 Speaker 1: a week at a time, so that if people do 727 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: become symptomatic and test positive, if they have to go 728 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: out for two weeks, then you can bring in folks 729 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,839 Speaker 1: in their stead. So I think they've been doing some 730 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: longer shifts in terms of the number of days now. 731 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,240 Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong, because I do have friends 732 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: that work out here in Los Angeles at CECH Medical 733 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: for usc U c L A Providence hospital as well. 734 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: And they actually have to go through procedures they have 735 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 1: to go through to training to get and to wear 736 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: a ppe mass um to take out any kind of 737 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: of medicine. And that doesn't even include UM any Z packs. 738 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: Has that been the case for you guys back east 739 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: to No matter what field of the hospital that you're in, 740 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: whether you're a doctor, nurse, pharmacy, whatever it may be, 741 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: you have to go through extra protocol to get these devices. 742 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's uh, it's really can it's really gone 743 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 1: through the riff of the stuff. Is you know who 744 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: thought having needs to be worth gold actually found a 745 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 1: box in my house from what I had been painting, uh, 746 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 1: and it was a great pay So yeah, I mean 747 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: we've gone through dawning and daffing all of the ppe um. 748 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: The American College of Surgeons has gone through a very 749 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 1: rigorous or creative regular set of guidelines for especially innovating patients, 750 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: exhibiting patients changing out trade theostom is anything that has 751 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: to do with the airway because this has transmitted through 752 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 1: droptalizations UM. And so now we're requiring before we can 753 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: go into the operating room. It's only the anenthesiologists and 754 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: the certified nursing assistants who are in the room within 755 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: the fives on and protect you here innovating the patients, um, 756 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,240 Speaker 1: and we treat them all if they have this version 757 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: of the coronavirus, and then we're allowed in. And when 758 00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: the patients are exhibited after procedure, we have to exit, 759 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: and then the whole room has to be completely turned 760 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: over and sterilized. And we're only using specific rooms and 761 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: specific equipment for patients. Okay, So when you take the 762 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 1: when you take the Batman suit off, and you're outside 763 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: as a normal civilian, are you exercising, are you out 764 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: and about regularly? And also are you wearing any kind 765 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: of mask when you're outside the hospital. So I am 766 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 1: doing my best to respect the wishes of the general 767 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 1: public in terms of that, I have been keeping my 768 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: social distance. I try to do things tradiciously when we're 769 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: opening up here now. But before this happened, um, you know, 770 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: I want to people have a lot of information they 771 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,640 Speaker 1: received and I'm not going out of my way to say, hey, 772 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: I know better than you, I know more than you. 773 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm not going to follow the steps. Masks here were 774 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: never a huge thing, um, you know, and unfortunately, there's 775 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation about the masks which give people, 776 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,319 Speaker 1: UM kind of a false sense of security. UM. You know. 777 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 1: University of Minnesota actually in April when this suggestion came out, 778 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: their Center for Infectious Disease and Research, I mean, they 779 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,839 Speaker 1: came out with a summary about the use of masks, UM, 780 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, and to to give you a quote, UM 781 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 1: basically Master, Well, before we get into this, masks are 782 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: not very effective. Cloth masks the particle sizes which you're 783 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,879 Speaker 1: trying to protect from getting into your lungs, the coronavirus UM. 784 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: Cloth masks stop maybe two to three pent of those 785 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,520 Speaker 1: particles from going in. Even surgical masks aren't great about 786 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,200 Speaker 1: is the best UM And there's been no studies that 787 00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 1: have ever shown that wearing masks is actually decreased UM 788 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,359 Speaker 1: the transmission of upper recipy infections, but not with any 789 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: statistical significance. There is some correlation, so, I mean, you know, 790 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,360 Speaker 1: the call and they said, leaving aside the fact that 791 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: master ineffective, telling the public to wear cloth or surgical 792 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: masks could be interpreted by some to me and that 793 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: people are safe to stop isolating at home and or 794 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: stop you know, we're safe to stop using social distancing. 795 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: And so I actually I think that that recommendation may 796 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 1: have been inappropriate, um, because you know, you see a 797 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 1: lot of people aft with their masks on. They're touching 798 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: them all the time, touching their face, touching their cell phone. Yeah. 799 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: Think it's a false sense of security. Yeah. And just 800 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: to kind of wrap this up, Dr G, I'm so, 801 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm glad you reached out your fan and I appreciate that, 802 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: and I appreciate what you guys are doing there at 803 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: the hospital. But anything that we've missed here that you 804 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,799 Speaker 1: wanted to pass on to the person listening here that 805 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: you think is important that we have completely screwed up 806 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: and not gotten to. I don't think you guys to 807 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: screw up anything, and I appreciate you having me on um. 808 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,359 Speaker 1: It was nice to you to make some time for me. Um. 809 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,880 Speaker 1: I think the best thing for the individual to do 810 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 1: and for the for their families is do whatever you 811 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:59,120 Speaker 1: needs is best. If you want to continue social isolating, 812 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 1: if you think that wearing a mask is important, if 813 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: you think that not all the public events is important, 814 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: it's best for you and your family. You know, each 815 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: individual is different. Obviously, this thing affects people differently based 816 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: on their predisposed conditions, based on their age, and definitely 817 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: follow whatever your local and federal government is telling you 818 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: to do. But I think in the grand scheme of things, 819 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: this the extremes that we've got to in order to 820 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: prevent the transmission of something that moreb and likely has 821 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,360 Speaker 1: already been spread throughout a majority or at least the 822 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 1: large percentage of the public, and something that for the 823 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 1: most part, most people will be just fine. And Okay, 824 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: I think that when things open up and when you're 825 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: allowed to go back treat life is normally thin. And 826 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: don't be afraid to hello to someone. You don't need 827 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: to wear a mask.
