• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, guys, I need your advice.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It's One More Thing. I'm strong and getty more drama
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: in real life. What was the last time you took
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: over the One More Thing podcast? What was that one about?
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Was that your healthier?
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I was type two diabetes?
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: That was an interesting story. Unfortunate for you, obviously interesting.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: How is that going by it? That's going very well?
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Actually, No, I have a funny story about that. They
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: want to pump me fullard. They wanted to give me
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a bunch of drugs, and I said, I will change
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: my diet, I will exercise. I've been doing all these things.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And one doctor said no, no, no, no, you you
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: got to be on these drugs for life. And I've
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: been able to do it without it pretty much, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: so I'm not going back to that doctor.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Two interesting things about that. One, I think the doctor's
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: recognizing reality that like ninety five percent of people don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: do anything about their diet. But two, the fact that
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: they would push the drugs on you rather than like
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: really push the diet part. Yeah, yeah, you know what part.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Of it has to do with And that reminds me
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: we got to get Craig the healthcare guru on next
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: week to talk about it several different healthcare related topics.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: But I was just reading about the incredible pressure that
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: is on doctors now to see thirty seven patients in
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: a single day, and they are just pushed and pushed
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and pushed by their corporate overlords. And so this doc,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know, you're Doc Michael, and I'm just guessing,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: but it could be he's thinking, I don't have time
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: for the You got to take care of yourself, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: here's how lecture. And then when you hem and haw
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: say all right, here's the other alternative, blah blah blah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: or why don't you come back and see me in
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: a week because you can't get an appointment for three
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: and a half months. So he just thinks, let's cut
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: to the chase. Take these pills, get now, get I
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: gotta go see thirty six more patients.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Well there's that. And then not to be the conspiracy guy,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: but I mean, if you prescribe medicine, somebody's paying for
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it and somebody's receiving money, so there's got to be
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: some incentives. So it might not be the doctor, but
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: there's got to be an incentive somewhere along the line
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to have you taking drugs as opposed to eating better, right,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, people make money if you don't eat better.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I was told that they have medical reps come by
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: all the time. Oh yeah, promoting drugs.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, and big Pharma allegedly. And I don't know
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: whether this motivates people a little or a lot. We'll
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: have a four day conference on how Zunetra can help
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: your patients. It's in Maui. It's at the fourth Seasons.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: There's a twenty five minute meeting each morning where you
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: talk about Zunetra. Then you're free for the rest of
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: the day expenses paid. Well.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't talked about this in years, but I
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: used to be friends with somebody who was a pharmaceutical
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: rep and just lived two houses down for me, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: so she would book these really expensive dinners at the
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: most expensive place in down but if they didn't have
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: all the seats filled, they were gonna get paid for anyway.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: She'd say, Hey, I got two extra seats. So we
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: would go and eat the meals and hang around. And
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: sometimes I'd have to like kind of pretend I was
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a doctor or something like that. If somebody asked me
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a question but they were getting wined and dined at
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the most expensive place in town with the open bar
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and everything like that. To tell them about some drug
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and there'd be a five minute slideshow about the drugs
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and then you get like a three hundred dollars meal
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: for free.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Oh I'd make hay with that opportunity. Man, I turn
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: on my left and say, what do you prefer? Viruses
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: or bacteria?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, to be at the same table with
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: you two pretending to be doctors.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I was always dreading if somebody actually asked me a fractures.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: There's something, aren't they. I don't know what I would say.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, I tell you what.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate to see it, but you gotta deal
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: with it. Im are wrong, So I told him, don't
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: do that anyway. Let's wait for the stake to show up.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Oh the other thing there? I knew there were there
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: were Actually there was another thing. Now I've forgotten it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I'm Joe Biden, like man, I do notice when I
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: don't get enough sleep that I can't remember near as
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: well my sessenes. Now my sentences in the middle, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I can't finish. I can't remember the end the oh,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the direct relationship between eating better and your body changing
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: or getting better numbers. Even though that's obviously clearly true,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I'm always still somewhat surprised, like I eat really good
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and look I'm a couple of pounds lighter, or the opposite,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I eat really bad and I'm a couple of pounds
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: every year. It's just, even though I know it's true,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to see it like in black and white in front
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: of me is always just a little something.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the old I feel better after a
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: drink or two the next morning than I did after
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the night I had seven. I'll be damned, I've only
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: learned that lesson five million times. Right.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Anyway, what's your tail today, Michael?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, So here we go. I yesterday had to get
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: my teeth cleaned. And I have a very good dental
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: hygienis who I've had for years. She's really gentle, she
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: does teeth well, she no hurt, no pain, nice. So
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I show up the dentist yesterday and it turns out
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: she's not there's and I had to know this. She goes,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we have somebody else though, that'll take you. And so
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I get this per and let me put it this way.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I'm still tasting blood today from them scraping my.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Brune Hilda the cruel.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: No.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: No, nobody in this scenario speaks English. And it was
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: in a garage and Rio Linda correct, No, no, no,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: actual dental practice.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Actual dental practice, good place. But I don't know if
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: this was a new employee or what the deal was,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: but uh.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: She was really rough.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You know. You put the tube in to suck the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: water out, and she was just jamming it down there.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Wow, physical reaction.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: This was crazy. When did she leaves?
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And then I guess she got behind
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: on our schedule, and so the doctor had come to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: her and said, said, you know, is he almost done?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: She goes, well, it's gonna be a few minutes, just
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a few minutes. And then all of a sudden, she
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: starts putting the polish on my teeth and rubbing as
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: fast as she can, starts grabs the water and just
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: starts squirting my mouth. You know, just it's just crazy.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So wow, that's terrible. So like a car wash, yeah, literally, So.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Just we're running out of time. So you picked up
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the poker and you stabbed her with it, and you
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: wonder what were you in the right.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Somebody that doesn't like conflicts. So I just held on
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: for dear life and I just put up with it,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and I'm fine, but I'm debating do I called him
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and let them know, Hey, this person was really rough.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: This is terrible because I got to go back there
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in a few months and.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: It was really painful. Well, you asked two questions. The
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: first one I've had before where it's like the last
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: person's better at this, but I don't want to make
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: another appointment. I need to get this done now, and
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: so it's not just conflict avoid and it's like the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: reality of trying to get the person you like better.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: So that's that's one thing. But then the complain, Hell,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: he is, I'm complaining.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It was funny is during the whole procedure though, she goes,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I know you're just laying there. She goes, I take
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that as a compliment. It means that I'm not hurting you.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, is this a common thing? Are people
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: saying to her?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: You'll scream? She thinks everything's going fine.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's a really weird thing. She said, that's so odd.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I would definitely call Michael and maybe just say something
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: along the lines of could I not be with this
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: individual next time because that was a little uncomfortable.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I would go ahead and say why it
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: was extremely uncomfortable. It was the most painful cleaning I've
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: ever had. Say that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's perfectly reasonable to say. It's like when
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I used to talk about my man Pong, the phlebotomist
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: who'd draw blood from me. I would always call and
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: see if Pong was there because he could do it
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: where you didn't feel a thing. And I love Pong,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: but he quit and uh, and other people aren't as good.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But I've never had anybody jab me in the side
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of the year with the needle and say sorry about that.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I just want her to look at me next time
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I go and say, oh, you're the one that called.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: You're the one that got me in trouble, or something
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, my Brian, don't think it would go like that.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I told the story years ago when my brother went
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: into the hospital is here and here in the local area,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and man, the president of the hospital, ended up meeting
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: me in the parking lot. After I told this story
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: on the air, they were so worried but anyway, they
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: were trying to put an IV in my brother and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the guy just kept having to do it over and
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: over and over again and jab him over and over again.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: And my brother is incredibly stoic as a military dude
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff. It's part of his
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: whole personality that he would never ever act like anything
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: hurt underneath circumstance. But they really guy was it. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the guy actually says to him, I'm sorry. Man. I
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: was at the casinos really late last night and just
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: kept jo oh, and I was like, dude, you gotta
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: tell him. Nah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: The only time I've ever had someone miss I love.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good for you.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, she missed three times and I went three
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: strikes and you're out.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You're done.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing this again. And I walked out, made
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: another appointment. This was before it took eight months to
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: get your blood drawn though.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, wow wow.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because getting back to the whole doctors more
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: than dentists. But it's just in my lifetime, the whole
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: doctor patient relationship has evolved from I know you for
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: years and years. You're like my partner in health. There's
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: a great deal of respect for you. There's concern for me. Now,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: it's more like getting a burger out of a fast
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: food joint. To some extent, I've got a great doc
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: right now too. I've had a couple that were terrible,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: that were just thinking, well, it was like eating a
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: burger from a fast food joint. So I don't you know, Michael,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I would. I would remember, you're a customer who's paying
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: a great deal for a service, and there are other
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: service providers and dentists are skilled people and they're caring
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: and the rest of it. But they're not They're not gods,
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: they're not priests.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think this would be a bad way to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: handle you say, this is the deal I make with everybody.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Whatever you do to me, I'm gonna do to you.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Just keep that in mind.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an idea.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I brought my tools, and so you know you might
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: own You think that'll be.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You show up with your own tool.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: And you say, I'm gonna give as much pain as
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I get. Always get started.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: If it's to you, exactly, it's because of your remove.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Ball is in your court. If I feel nothing, you
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: feel nothing, That's what I'll do.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I'll walk up to the receptionist, scrape your teeth a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: little bit and say does that hurt?
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Well, guess what. That's what she did to me. Bought
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: your hose, spray her with it right in the face.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: How do you like it?
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Eh?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, hold still, lady, you're gonna feel a little pressure. Wow.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Well thanks, guys, I guess that's it.
