Speaker 1: You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
0:04
Speaker 1: six FORTYFI.
0:09
Speaker 2: AM six forty bill Handle.
0:11
Speaker 3: Here it is a Wednesday morning, April fifteenth.
0:15
Speaker 2: You can always podcast any part of the show.
0:18
Speaker 3: Some of the great segments that we have are the
0:20
Speaker 3: ones you don't listen to, and frankly, some of the
0:23
Speaker 3: weakest segments that we have are the ones that you
0:25
Speaker 3: do listen to see how that works, and so suggesting
0:28
Speaker 3: you just go to the iHeartRadio app and the podcast
0:32
Speaker 3: section is all over that and love to have you
0:35
Speaker 3: join us. A couple of interesting stories, well, a couple
0:38
Speaker 3: of big stories. We're looking at the International Monetary Fund.
0:41
Speaker 3: The IMF is saying the war in Iran is weighing
0:45
Speaker 3: down the global economy could tip the world towards recession.
0:51
Speaker 3: And if you want to go to England, you're just
0:54
Speaker 3: having a passport is not going to get you in.
0:56
Speaker 2: The British government started requiring the.
1:00
Speaker 3: Electronic travel authorization for most foreign tourists. Now, the war
1:08
Speaker 3: in Iran, obviously, what's going on in negotiations and we
1:13
Speaker 3: are in a rather big deal in terms of our
1:18
Speaker 3: relationship with Iran. Okay, there's another war going on and
1:23
Speaker 3: another negotiation that's happening at the same time, and that
1:27
Speaker 3: is the World Cup that is happening here. FIFA is
1:33
Speaker 3: coming here for the World Cup. A lot of the
1:39
Speaker 3: games are mainly in the United States, and President Gianni
1:45
Speaker 3: in Fantino, the FIFA president, may be the only person
1:48
Speaker 3: left who thinks he can actually reconcile the competing interests
1:52
Speaker 3: of Iran and the US. So as American and Iranan
1:57
Speaker 3: leaders abandoned the peace negotiation Islama last week and they're
2:02
Speaker 3: talking about doing it again. In Fantino is already into
2:06
Speaker 3: his shuttle diplomacy between the two countries, and he's attempting
2:11
Speaker 3: to navigate between a country that doesn't want to play
2:14
Speaker 3: in the United States and a country where the president
2:18
Speaker 3: says he doesn't care if the team plays. Now, why
2:22
Speaker 3: is this such a big deal in Iran? Coming because
2:24
Speaker 3: Iran was among the first nation to win a spot
2:28
Speaker 3: in the tournament to be held in North America. But
2:32
Speaker 3: President Trump began waging war against Iran a month ago,
2:37
Speaker 3: and now the leaders are opening questioning whether this is Iran,
2:41
Speaker 3: whether their national team will participate. The Sports Minister of
2:46
Speaker 3: Iran has demanded that the matches that were scheduled for
2:50
Speaker 3: la and Seattle be relocated to Mexico, and FIFA has
2:54
Speaker 3: said no because it is an enormous deal, almost impossible,
2:59
Speaker 3: and this is a huge gea political challenge for Infantino
3:04
Speaker 3: because he's looking at both countries and he's trying to
3:07
Speaker 3: figure out how this all works.
3:10
Speaker 2: So a FIFA quote, FIFA.
3:12
Speaker 3: Has consistently stated that looking forward to all teams participating
3:16
Speaker 3: to compete in a spirit of fair play and respect. Boy,
3:19
Speaker 3: that's exactly how I would describe what's going on.
3:24
Speaker 2: No change to the mass schedule.
3:27
Speaker 3: So now you have Infantino and his ties to our president,
3:33
Speaker 3: and that's clashing with some of the organizations the different countries,
3:38
Speaker 3: soccer organizations their core principle and seeing a team that's
3:44
Speaker 3: qualified on sports, qualified in the events not play in
3:49
Speaker 3: the tournament because of political tensions, now, that would be
3:53
Speaker 3: a big blow to the credibility and to Infantino. According
4:00
Speaker 3: to people in the know, there are several football associations
4:05
Speaker 3: around the world that are putting pressure on him to
4:07
Speaker 3: make sure that Iran participates and FIFA is playing the
4:12
Speaker 3: game between all these countries, Russia, China certainly Iran, and
4:17
Speaker 3: Iran's a Big One. So Iran got its World c
4:23
Speaker 3: Cup spot in March of twenty twenty five, finishing first
4:27
Speaker 3: in its qualifying group, the Asian qualifying Group, and it's
4:32
Speaker 3: a five week tournament, the Big One, whose matches will
4:34
Speaker 3: be spread across the US, Mexico, and Canada North America.
4:39
Speaker 2: Now, Iran was one of the.
4:42
Speaker 3: Twelve countries covered under Trump's ban on foreign visitors, but
4:47
Speaker 3: it explicitly did exempt players and team staff, but it
4:51
Speaker 3: would prohibit spectators coming in from Iran, and that travel
4:56
Speaker 3: ban later expanded to nineteen countries, including a compar editor Haiti.
5:02
Speaker 2: Even when Iranian.
5:03
Speaker 3: Sports officials came to Washington for the lottery draw in
5:07
Speaker 3: December to see which country plays which country, the State
5:11
Speaker 3: Department didn't approve all of the visa requests from Iran.
5:15
Speaker 2: So Iran response threatens to skip the event.
5:19
Speaker 3: FIFA steps in to mediate between the White House State Department,
5:24
Speaker 3: the Football Federation of Iran.
5:26
Speaker 2: A FIFA member, and a small Iranian.
5:30
Speaker 3: Delegation did show up and attended the event, and so
5:35
Speaker 3: it is a mess going on. The President was asked
5:40
Speaker 3: by Political and interview, do you want Iran to send
5:44
Speaker 3: a team to the United States for the World Cup
5:46
Speaker 3: and he said, yeah, I really don't care whether Iran competes.
5:51
Speaker 3: Now that whenever president says anything reverberated across the community,
5:57
Speaker 3: of this case, the soccer community, and so Infantino was, well,
6:03
Speaker 3: he was optimistic about this one. And I said, it
6:07
Speaker 3: is absolutely terrific. What's going on. The President said the
6:12
Speaker 3: Iran national soccer team is welcome to the World Cup,
6:16
Speaker 3: but then said I really don't believe it's appropriate that
6:19
Speaker 3: they be there for their own life and safety. So
6:22
Speaker 3: he changed his mind. And how unusual that the President
6:27
Speaker 3: changes his mind on anything. So are we going to
6:31
Speaker 3: see Iran play in the United States? My guess is yes.
6:35
Speaker 3: Are we going to see Iranians coming over here on visus?
6:41
Speaker 3: My guess is though, And by the way, one of
6:44
Speaker 3: the games are going to be played here in Los Angeles.
6:49
Speaker 3: The biggest diaspora of Persians of Iranians in the world
6:54
Speaker 3: is here in Los Angeles. Number one population outside of
6:58
Speaker 3: Iran is in Los Angeles, which just adds to this story. Okay,
7:04
Speaker 3: the big story nationally Eric Eric Swalwell, who has resigned.
7:09
Speaker 3: Not only he resigned from Congress goodbye, and he also
7:15
Speaker 3: just decided he's taking himself out of the governor's race,
7:18
Speaker 3: and he was one of the front runners for the
7:21
Speaker 3: governor of California. And so a little bit of background here.
7:26
Speaker 3: There is a woman, Cheyenne Hunt, who arrived in Washington
7:30
Speaker 3: as a staffer in twenty twenty and she was warned
7:33
Speaker 3: stay away from Swalwell. Swalwell could be creepy, she was told.
7:40
Speaker 3: So here she is six years later. She's one of
7:42
Speaker 3: several women who have taken their large followings online to
7:46
Speaker 3: go after Solwell and asking women to come forward with
7:50
Speaker 3: their stories and more and more are even to the
7:54
Speaker 3: point where yesterday there was a woman who accused Solwell.
7:58
Speaker 2: Of raping her straight out raping her.
8:00
Speaker 3: In twenty eighteen, he's accused of sexual assault, sending unsolicited
8:06
Speaker 3: explicit messages to young women, including photograph of his schwants
8:12
Speaker 3: to a woman. I'm assuming it's pretty good size, otherwise
8:16
Speaker 3: you probably.
8:17
Speaker 2: Wouldn't send it. I certainly would. I would have problems
8:20
Speaker 2: with that.
8:21
Speaker 3: His attorney says that Swallowell denies each and every allegation
8:26
Speaker 3: of sexual misconduct and assault, but misconduct and.
8:30
Speaker 2: Assault he.
8:34
Speaker 3: Admits basically having sex with all of these women, and
8:41
Speaker 3: he apologized for some mistakes in judgment he made while
8:47
Speaker 3: he was in office. Was in office because he resigned
8:51
Speaker 3: under unbelievable pressure from both sides of the aisle. Because
8:55
Speaker 3: you're talking about sexual misconduct. There are a few things
8:59
Speaker 3: where both the l where politics basically disappear. One's the
9:02
Speaker 3: Epstein file, where okay, we're stopping at that. This isn't political,
9:08
Speaker 3: thank you, We're talking about the rape of young women
9:12
Speaker 3: the miners. The other one is this kind of violation,
9:17
Speaker 3: taking advantage of your position and forcing women to have
9:20
Speaker 3: sex and in a couple of cases straight out rape
9:23
Speaker 3: that crosses the line to where he was forced to resign.
9:29
Speaker 3: Now he was, I mean, his rise in the party
9:32
Speaker 3: was meteoric. He came in as a council person, as
9:37
Speaker 3: a congressman after beating a guy who had been ten
9:42
Speaker 3: terms in Congress or I think maybe twenty terms in Congress,
9:46
Speaker 3: and he became well, he became a favorite of the
9:49
Speaker 3: Democratic Party. His mentor was Nancy Pelosi, who had just
9:54
Speaker 3: a small amount of power, and with her backing, he
9:58
Speaker 3: became one of the big wigs in the Democratic Party.
10:03
Speaker 3: Now here is the question, and that is since the
10:06
Speaker 3: rumors were flying around and it was common knowledge that
10:12
Speaker 3: he was known, not necessarily as a predator, but certainly
10:16
Speaker 3: as a player in Washington, And considering what the politics
10:22
Speaker 3: are today of people of men using their positions to
10:29
Speaker 3: basically have sex with subordinates, it is a different world
10:34
Speaker 3: than what it used to be. Now here is something
10:36
Speaker 3: I didn't know, and this is going to shock you.
10:39
Speaker 3: When congress people pay these women civil settlements, the NBA's
10:46
Speaker 3: non disclosure non disclosure agreements, will pay you money if
10:52
Speaker 3: you shut up, and there have been dozens of these.
10:55
Speaker 3: Do you know where that money comes from. It doesn't
10:58
Speaker 3: come out of their pocket. It comes out of a
11:03
Speaker 3: fund that is held by Congress that the taxpayer funds.
11:09
Speaker 3: We pay for the congressmen to pay to shut up
11:15
Speaker 3: women who accuse these men of taking advantage of them. Now,
11:21
Speaker 3: are there instances where women should not have gotten paid
11:26
Speaker 3: or using this.
11:27
Speaker 2: Position, Yeah, I think there are.
11:32
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I would think the percentage
11:35
Speaker 3: of congress people who have paid these women off for
11:39
Speaker 3: legitimate reasons, women had legitimate cases, I think that's a
11:44
Speaker 3: much much larger percentage. And there's a move among some Republicans,
11:49
Speaker 3: certainly all the Democrats, but certainly some Republicans that are
11:53
Speaker 3: saying we want it made public. Any one of these
11:57
Speaker 3: agreements in which Congress people paid for a non disclosure,
12:03
Speaker 3: non disclosure agreement out of taxpayer dollars. I mean, I
12:09
Speaker 3: find that stunning that the taxpayer pays for this kind
12:12
Speaker 3: of agreement. I mean, just insane. And then there was
12:16
Speaker 3: a move to make it public and that failed in Congress.
12:22
Speaker 2: That failed. Nope, we want to keep it secret. These
12:27
Speaker 2: agreements are secreted.
12:28
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if there's a fund in Congress to
12:31
Speaker 3: pay for them, where the perpetrator does not pay any money.
12:35
Speaker 2: And so the big question.
12:36
Speaker 3: Is who knew, who knew, and everybody who was close
12:43
Speaker 3: to him or saying two things. Number one is I
12:47
Speaker 3: didn't know, and he lied and he kept it a secret. Well,
12:51
Speaker 3: it's not much of a secret if it's an open
12:53
Speaker 3: secret and everybody knows about it. Harvey Weinstein, but everybody
12:57
Speaker 3: in Hollywood knew what was going on, even to the
12:59
Speaker 3: point where I remember there was an awards ceremony where
13:02
Speaker 3: the presenter joked about Harvey Weinstein and all the women
13:07
Speaker 3: he had sex with because of his position, joked about
13:10
Speaker 3: it on national television, and people in the audience were
13:14
Speaker 3: laughing because it was a given, it was known, all right.
13:19
Speaker 3: Jim Keeney, chief medical officer for Dignity Saint Mary Medical
13:22
Speaker 3: Center in Long Beach, always with this on Wednesday, Jim,
13:27
Speaker 3: good morning.
13:28
Speaker 1: Good morning, Bill.
13:30
Speaker 3: Question and we did this this morning, and that is
13:34
Speaker 3: the bad news about schagella or in Mexico it's shageia.
13:42
Speaker 2: What's going on? Yeah, yeah, well I just thought i'd
13:45
Speaker 2: share that with you.
13:47
Speaker 3: But let's go on because there's some bad news here
13:51
Speaker 3: that is not fun.
13:52
Speaker 1: You want to share, sure, I mean, so, sigel is
13:56
Speaker 1: a well known bacterial cause of diarrhea, and it's when
14:01
Speaker 1: you get dysentery. You know you have you can have
14:04
Speaker 1: bloody diarrhea, fevers, abdominal pain. Those are all signs of
14:09
Speaker 1: it's a more serious diarrhea when you get that. And
14:13
Speaker 1: the bad news here is that we're seeing increased drug resistance,
14:17
Speaker 1: you know, to about almost ten percent of these infections
14:20
Speaker 1: are showing that they are drug resistant to multiple and
14:24
Speaker 1: extensive drugs. So that makes it more difficult to treat.
14:28
Speaker 1: Not a lot of oral treatment options, so people end
14:31
Speaker 1: up hospitalized on IV medications when this happens. And really
14:35
Speaker 1: it's just you know, it's a sign of us using
14:40
Speaker 1: antibiotics you knows a lot in animals, in humans and
14:44
Speaker 1: just over using it quite a bit at pressuring these
14:48
Speaker 1: bacteria into drug resistance. So not much more you can
14:52
Speaker 1: do other than making sure you don't catch it by
14:54
Speaker 1: you know, it's passed by not washing your hands before
14:57
Speaker 1: you eat. You know it's past and contaminated water. It
15:01
Speaker 1: can be passed through sexual activity as well, so you know,
15:05
Speaker 1: avoided sex with people that diary.
15:07
Speaker 3: Yeah, in general, wash your hands before not having sex. No,
15:11
Speaker 3: I get that, and by the way, I do that regularly.
15:14
Speaker 3: A couple of things about shigella and other diseases that
15:17
Speaker 3: are antibiotic resistance, and we've talked about this before. There
15:23
Speaker 3: was one antibiotic that's sort of kept in the backgrounds,
15:27
Speaker 3: sort of the magic bullet, because there's.
15:30
Speaker 2: Only one left and it.
15:32
Speaker 3: Is basically it's like the recipe for coca cola. It's
15:38
Speaker 3: almost kept secret. Is that still around and is it used?
15:41
Speaker 3: Would it be used for shigella?
15:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we have a couple more than just
15:46
Speaker 1: one now. And you know what we do in the
15:49
Speaker 1: hospital is we'll say, look, these are just special antibiotics
15:53
Speaker 1: that we don't want to create resistance too, so we
15:56
Speaker 1: don't even allow people to prescribe it in the hospital
15:58
Speaker 1: without an infectious disease consults. We would say, look, if
16:01
Speaker 1: you're at that level, we need to have an affectious
16:04
Speaker 1: disease specialist on the case. And if this, if they
16:07
Speaker 1: can't determine a better option, then we're going to use
16:09
Speaker 1: that reserve, you know, one of those reserve antibiotics.
16:13
Speaker 3: And how dangerous is and we've talked about diarrhea, I mean,
16:15
Speaker 3: bloody diarrhea is by the way, for those you are
16:18
Speaker 3: going to go to a bar today and you order
16:20
Speaker 3: a bloody Mary.
16:20
Speaker 2: I just think of this segment.
16:23
Speaker 3: We normally don't think of diarrhea as being particularly dangerous,
16:27
Speaker 3: certainly inconvenient as well, But the danger of diarrhea, you
16:31
Speaker 3: want to share that one.
16:33
Speaker 2: It's not diarrhea, as say.
16:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the danger of dysenteria is that that
16:39
Speaker 1: you can become so dehydrated that you end up hostialized,
16:43
Speaker 1: in critical condition, or you can even die from it.
16:46
Speaker 1: So you know, it's definitely something that needs to be treated,
16:49
Speaker 1: and you got to keep up with the fluid losses.
16:52
Speaker 1: But in general, we can treat this. You know, you
16:56
Speaker 1: just replace the fluids that the people are losing and
16:58
Speaker 1: they do fine.
17:00
Speaker 3: All right, So it's and again you have to be hospitalized.
17:03
Speaker 3: And I'm thinking when we talk of the deaths, especially
17:07
Speaker 3: children's death around the world, particularly Africa, it is because
17:11
Speaker 3: of diarrhea for the most part.
17:12
Speaker 2: Isn't it.
17:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean definitely diarrhea and bacterial diarrhea. Dysenteria is
17:19
Speaker 1: a big player in the world. We don't We're just
17:23
Speaker 1: so used to it. We have very good you know,
17:26
Speaker 1: food quality, as far as you know, food safety. We
17:30
Speaker 1: have reports as soon as we get an outbreak somewhere
17:34
Speaker 1: so we can respond to it quickly, where other parts
17:36
Speaker 1: of the world don't have that. And you know, as
17:39
Speaker 1: you can see, when Americans travel abroad, that's the number
17:42
Speaker 1: one infection. They get a thirty percent of people who
17:45
Speaker 1: travel abroad of vomiting or diarrhease and type of gastronrietis
17:51
Speaker 1: and then when you go to places like India, it's
17:53
Speaker 1: closer to fifty percent India or Africa.
17:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, just absolutely lovely. Okay, moving over to a couple
18:00
Speaker 3: more topics. Na D plus I don't even know what
18:04
Speaker 3: that is and should we all be taking it?
18:08
Speaker 1: Right? So it's interesting, right, because the article about this
18:13
Speaker 1: are mostly put out by med spas and people who
18:17
Speaker 1: sell an A D plus, So that you know, here's
18:21
Speaker 1: the thing. We there's something you may have remembered from
18:23
Speaker 1: high school biology called the Krebs cycle. The Creb cycle
18:27
Speaker 1: is how every cell in your body generates energy, and
18:32
Speaker 1: it's a It uses certain certain chemicals to produce energy.
18:39
Speaker 1: One of them is an A D and so the
18:42
Speaker 1: thought is, all right, well, you know you want more energy,
18:45
Speaker 1: you want more ability to function well, and your cells
18:48
Speaker 1: will all function better if you have any It's true,
18:51
Speaker 1: but as you age, your NAD levels drop, so there
18:54
Speaker 1: may be some people that might benefit from a little
18:56
Speaker 1: bit of supplementation from NAD, but it's an well absorbed
19:01
Speaker 1: so a lot of people take other supplements to increase
19:04
Speaker 1: their NAD. One of them is called m MEN, right,
19:08
Speaker 1: which is nicotinamide mono nucleotide, and that converts your liver
19:13
Speaker 1: converts that to NAD. So and now the bottom line
19:18
Speaker 1: is a lot, you know, a lot of hope there.
19:20
Speaker 1: People thought, wow, this makes a lot of sense, and
19:24
Speaker 1: it just does not seem to have a significant effect.
19:28
Speaker 1: People will get kind of a flush feeling after they
19:30
Speaker 1: get the IVY infusion, which by the way, is thousands
19:32
Speaker 1: of dollars and requires multiple infusions. So this is not Yeah,
19:37
Speaker 1: it's not for everybody, but definitely for the MEDSPA clientele.
19:41
Speaker 1: And if they have the money to burn, then go
19:43
Speaker 1: for it.
19:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, high school, I remember having crabs in high school.
19:47
Speaker 3: But if you wash all of your clothes and your
19:50
Speaker 3: bedding really well, you should be Okay, we'll be right
19:55
Speaker 3: back with the doctor.
19:56
Speaker 2: Jim Keeney.
19:58
Speaker 3: All right, Jim Kiney. Jim is back with us. Jim,
20:03
Speaker 3: chief medical officer for Dignity Saint Mary Medical Center in
20:06
Speaker 3: Long Beach. And so you know what, this isn't on
20:12
Speaker 3: the on the list of what we're talking about. So
20:14
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've dived into this before, but
20:17
Speaker 3: the GLP one drugs that everybody is taking, all of
20:22
Speaker 3: these you know, GOV and.
20:26
Speaker 2: OCMPIC, et cetera.
20:28
Speaker 3: I was talking to Lindsey and she came in with
20:31
Speaker 3: an article says that it is helping with depression, It
20:35
Speaker 3: is helping with anxiety as well as the appetite. Are
20:40
Speaker 3: you finding that that information is out there, because it
20:42
Speaker 3: looks like magic bullet is even more magic.
20:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it seems like every day. It was
20:48
Speaker 1: almost like when the statins came out for cholesterol, right,
20:53
Speaker 1: and they were supposed to control cholesterol, but they also
20:55
Speaker 1: reduced inflammation. They reduced the risk of heart attack independently
20:59
Speaker 1: of you're dropping cholesterol. So it does seem like we're
21:03
Speaker 1: getting a lot of information. I've heard both, and some
21:07
Speaker 1: of it's conflicting, right, I've heard both that the glps
21:10
Speaker 1: can increase your risk for osteoporosis and joint pain, while
21:15
Speaker 1: another article saying that it can actually reduce osteoporosis and
21:21
Speaker 1: improve jointy pain. So I think the jury is still out,
21:24
Speaker 1: but it does seem they do seem to have multiple
21:27
Speaker 1: effects and some of them beneficial, and I wouldn't be surprised.
21:33
Speaker 1: But no, I haven't seen any evidence that says that
21:36
Speaker 1: glps treat depression yet.
21:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
21:39
Speaker 3: Just on a personal note, I did my physical yesterday
21:43
Speaker 3: and one of the things that I have is aphib
21:46
Speaker 3: irregular heartbeat. Not a huge issue, and they're not particularly concerned.
21:52
Speaker 3: Should I be worried?
21:57
Speaker 1: We'll say, what are you worried about?
22:01
Speaker 2: This segment? That's what I'm worried about.
22:03
Speaker 1: No, sorry, a fib A fib Should you be you're
22:10
Speaker 1: worried about, like, yeah, have a FIB. Yeah they have it.
22:13
Speaker 3: No, no, No, I have a FIB and they're not
22:18
Speaker 3: doing much about it, and they're not particularly worried. But
22:23
Speaker 3: I want to ask you because you I happen to trust.
22:26
Speaker 3: By the way, that's not to say I don't trust
22:28
Speaker 3: my doctors at Kaiser because they haven't killed me yet.
22:32
Speaker 2: But should I be worried?
22:34
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's a little bit. It's kind of
22:37
Speaker 1: a complicated subject because some people are in chronic a FIB,
22:40
Speaker 1: so they're in it every single day. Those people have
22:43
Speaker 1: a one percent risk per year of getting a blood
22:46
Speaker 1: clot in their heart that will go to their brain
22:48
Speaker 1: and cause a stroke. So because of that, we put
22:50
Speaker 1: those people on blood thinners and we allow them to
22:54
Speaker 1: stay in a FIB, and we protect them from that
22:57
Speaker 1: complication by putting them on blood thinners. Other people are
23:01
Speaker 1: in what kind of an intermittent a FIB, and they
23:04
Speaker 1: know they feel it when they go into it, and
23:06
Speaker 1: we can just shock them or do something like that,
23:09
Speaker 1: or give them meds to take them out of atro fibrillation.
23:12
Speaker 1: So do you know which one of those two you have?
23:14
Speaker 1: Is it always? You know?
23:16
Speaker 3: I think no, I'm taking I'm taking blood thinners and
23:19
Speaker 3: I have ever since my surgery. And the problem with
23:22
Speaker 3: blood thinners for me is I get a paper cut
23:23
Speaker 3: and I start hemorrhaging out. Literally I'm bleeding out and
23:27
Speaker 3: I'm going to die.
23:29
Speaker 2: So there are always so no.
23:33
Speaker 1: It's it's it's you lose about ten percent, you know,
23:36
Speaker 1: because what happens is the blood fills the heart, and
23:39
Speaker 1: it fills it by the negative pressure, mostly of your
23:42
Speaker 1: your lungs. When you take a deep breath in you're
23:44
Speaker 1: sucking in air, but it actually sucks some of the
23:47
Speaker 1: blood up into your chest, which dumps into your heart.
23:50
Speaker 1: But then the atrium, which is atrial fibrillations, the top
23:53
Speaker 1: chambers of the heart, it squeezes down at the last minute. Now,
23:57
Speaker 1: after your ventricles are completely full or almost completely full,
24:01
Speaker 1: it squeezes down at the very end just to top
24:04
Speaker 1: them off with like an extra ten to fifteen percent.
24:07
Speaker 1: So it does reduce your cardiac output by about ten
24:10
Speaker 1: or fifteen percent. But when you know when your activity
24:13
Speaker 1: level is low, you won't even notice it.
24:15
Speaker 3: Okay, appreciate it. And by the way, I know, I
24:18
Speaker 3: just did a personal sing. I'm talking about my problem.
24:22
Speaker 3: You know what I got to tell you. If you're interested,
24:24
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the audience, not you, Neil, if you're
24:26
Speaker 3: interested at all. In a personal question to Jim, get
24:31
Speaker 3: a radio show. Okay, that gets easy.
24:34
Speaker 2: Listen. I'm not a doctor, but I'll tell you this.
24:36
Speaker 2: If your new wife puts more insurance on your life,
24:41
Speaker 2: that's when you have a heart problem. You got it,
