  It's a podcast of faith, and it's a podcast of friendship.
• 0:20
  Here is your host, Angel Santana, and special co-host, Dr. E.
• 0:26
  We're a three-podcast time. that's it
• 0:29
  man let's rock and roll in three two one hello
• 0:33
  everyone and welcome to have faith let it begin we are starting the
• 0:36
  month of december with a bang why dr e is back and we're gonna fix that intro
• 0:40
  he is not a special co-host he is the co-host of have faith let it begin dr
• 0:46
  e happy december how was turkey day oh my god i actually was a normal human
• 0:52
  being i didn't work I mean,
• 0:54
  I worked my ass off at the house, but I didn't go into work and I ate turkey
• 0:59
  and I ate corn and I yams and I ate cranberry sauce and I ate pecan pie and
• 1:07
  cherry pie and vanilla ice cream.
• 1:10
  And I had to, I have to tell you at the end of the meal, which was six hours,
• 1:16
  by the way, I was literally moaning.
• 1:18
  I literally could not go to bed because if I went to bed, I would probably stop breathing.
• 1:24
  So I had to literally sit up in a chair until all, so all the gravity of the
• 1:30
  food went all the way down straight South instead of going back up North.
• 1:35
  Well, let me tell you, we are here with a bang because after recording the episode
• 1:40
  that we did on your show, the Croc podcast, Citizens United to Overcome Cancer, we're piggybacking.
• 1:46
  I want everybody just for a second to listen to this closing remark that I made
• 1:51
  and then we'll Quentin Tarantino go back. Take a listen to this.
• 1:55
  See what I'm saying? Well, from that last part that I stated, Dr.
• 2:00
  E and I, we spoke about something that really hit home to him.
• 2:04
  And I want him to kind of give me a, just take us back a little bit.
• 2:09
  I don't want you to share all the stories because I want them to listen to the
• 2:12
  stories, but I want you to take us back because this is something that really
• 2:16
  resonates with every single person.
• 2:19
  That's what you do on the show, the Critic, the Citizens United to Overcome
• 2:23
  Cancer. We come together, we share these stories just like we do on Have Faith,
• 2:28
  but this is something that I think everybody really needs to listen to.
• 2:33
  And as you can hear my words at the very end that I just played for you.
• 2:37
  You took me to a level where I just spoke out.
• 2:41
  Dr. E, share with us what they just missed this week and how they can go back
• 2:47
  and listen to it. I will definitely let them know how. Take us back.
• 2:50
  Well, the first thing I'm going to say is that it is visceral to everybody.
• 2:54
  And, you know, Angel, it's almost as if you like basically the Holy Spirit just
• 2:59
  took over you because you're like four minute, you know, assessment of the podcast
• 3:05
  was so spot on that I had nothing left to say.
• 3:09
  I mean, I don't know if you're going to put the entire thing in,
• 3:13
  but I will say this, that I was literally without words.
• 3:16
  There was nothing I could do to add to the words that you mentioned.
• 3:19
  So let's talk a little bit about the way we talk about it, you know,
• 3:23
  talk to each other or talk to others about our, our friends,
• 3:27
  our family, our acquaintances or strangers.
• 3:31
  Even we as humans are very quick to judge and we're very quick to blame others
• 3:37
  for our own insecurities and our own inadequacies and in medicine, unfortunately.
• 3:44
  So if you're doing this to a neighbor, it's unfortunate because you lose friendships
• 3:48
  and it becomes uncomfortable.
• 3:51
  And, you know, it's just, you know, passing each other and looking the other
• 3:54
  way and all those kind of very awkward moments.
• 3:57
  But that's kind of where it stops and ends.
• 4:00
  In medicine, when physicians have to sort of let off some steam or blow off
• 4:06
  some steam or start, you know,
• 4:08
  getting rid of some of their anxieties and insecurities and by doing it,
• 4:13
  by blaming other physicians for either their care or their recommendations,
• 4:18
  they put the cancer survivor in a very, very terrible situation.
• 4:23
  They put them in the middle of this drama.
• 4:27
  And I think having cancer and being treated for cancer is stressful enough.
• 4:31
  And having your doctors talk trash about each other, and then you lose your
• 4:36
  trust, you lose your direction, you become non-compliant, your outcomes are less.
• 4:41
  But it is a metaphor for all of us, because what I was preaching is for physicians
• 4:47
  to elevate themselves to put the patient first and put themselves second.
• 4:53
  And, you know, there are other ways of identifying and strategizing to get,
• 4:59
  you know, outcomes and put everyone on the same page without involving the patient.
• 5:03
  But in real life, which this is our real life podcast, you know,
• 5:07
  I think that the same recommendation stand,
• 5:10
  Angel, don't you think of being mature and just thinking of how powerful your
• 5:14
  words are and being able to maybe sort of soften your words in order to, you know, you can get.
• 5:22
  You know, it's, it's better to get honey. You know, you can get more from honey
• 5:25
  than you can from vinegar or whatever that expression is.
• 5:28
  Yeah. And I think you said it perfectly. I can't add to that.
• 5:31
  No, I agree. And, and this is just kind of like a little bit of a teaser because
• 5:34
  at the end of the day, the episode that aired, I'm going to have the link in the description.
• 5:39
  I'm going to also, at the end of this episode, I'll put a little blurb as to
• 5:43
  what the name of the title is.
• 5:44
  Cause we have yet to actually title it right now, but when you guys hear it,
• 5:48
  it'll be titled that already have been aired and you'll get a chance to go right into it.
• 5:52
  Matter of fact, what we're going to do is breaking news right here,
• 5:55
  right now. This episode is going to end and I have just made an executive decision.
• 5:59
  We are going to air that episode right here, right now.
• 6:02
  We're just going to end this episode and go right into that episode because
• 6:06
  it's that important to me.
• 6:07
  And I really think it's something that we need to collaborate together.
• 6:12
  And then what I'd like to do is a part two of what I want.
• 6:17
  Have faith, let it begin. And I want the Croc Nation to send out your questions,
• 6:23
  send out your stories about what you got out of it and what things have happened to you.
• 6:29
  And the first five people that respond to these two episodes are going to receive a gift.
• 6:37
  And it will be autographed by Dr. E and myself for the holiday season.
• 6:43
  So you have to get involved because if you don't want to get involved,
• 6:46
  you're not going to get something special. So I'm throwing that out there.
• 6:49
  What do you think, Dr. E? Is that a smart way to do it? Can I also get a souvenir
• 6:54
  or two? You do. You have my friendship.
• 6:58
  I think that's wonderful. I
• 7:00
  think that's marvelous. Angel, lead us in prayer, my brother. Let's do it.
• 7:03
  Heavenly Father, we know that good teamwork means communication.
• 7:07
  We know that when you have teamwork, it's a group of people working side by side.
• 7:13
  True teamwork is when individuals bring their own struggles to the table,
• 7:19
  but they leave their egos at the door.
• 7:22
  We encourage everyone to be led to these two episodes today,
• 7:27
  that they feel the Holy Spirit guide them and to allow them to feel comfortable
• 7:32
  in sharing their stories.
• 7:34
  Stop worrying about who gets all the credit.
• 7:37
  Start focusing on what we can accomplish together. We pray this unto you in
• 7:41
  the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Happy December week.
• 7:45
  Thanksgiving is over. Let's get more food in our stomachs, but let's have a good time because, Dr.
• 7:51
  E, like I know that you know, that I know that we know, that you know that I
• 7:54
  know. You matter, my friend.
• 7:56
  May God be with you. God bless you, brother. Yep, and never forget,
• 8:00
