00:00.031 --> 00:02.434
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment.

00:04.776 --> 00:10.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, I can get it again, and now he'll be here quietly with a start to show.

00:10.743 --> 00:15.589
[SPEAKER_03]: T-M-O-S, Classic, Friday, Flashback.

00:15.629 --> 00:20.314
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you want the happy or the, I shouldn't put it that way?

00:20.334 --> 00:22.917
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you want the, uh, good or the back?

00:23.268 --> 00:50.220
[SPEAKER_03]: to start you know it's the holidays and um... sometimes the sad or bad sets up the happy like the gift of the magi you know what i mean so let's start bad well but for my purposes and i don't mind going that direction okay and i probably should based on what our listeners crave might they crave action but in this case

00:52.951 --> 00:54.013
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll start with the bad.

00:54.554 --> 00:55.295
[SPEAKER_04]: Mike, you know what?

00:55.535 --> 01:01.104
[SPEAKER_04]: If this is a disaster because we started wrong, people will forgive you and you know why?

01:01.144 --> 01:02.907
[SPEAKER_04]: Because it's the holidays.

01:03.148 --> 01:05.572
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's just a, I have some nice things to say after.

01:05.672 --> 01:08.617
[SPEAKER_03]: I talk about my experience yesterday.

01:08.717 --> 01:13.204
[SPEAKER_03]: So as I had mentioned on the show yesterday, I was going to,

01:13.184 --> 01:34.163
[SPEAKER_03]: the urologist because you know it's they sent me there so yeah it's it's been a few weeks since you've seen a doctor yeah and was this a pleasure trip or was this recommended you don't acknowledge when when Josh gives you that you know that's you look that's coming to play in my opinion right there oh sensational yeah you know it's it's it's it's it's

01:34.379 --> 01:40.269
[SPEAKER_03]: Every other day, I look, Medicare, I get maintenance.

01:40.329 --> 01:41.931
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why that keeps me healthy.

01:41.951 --> 01:45.958
[SPEAKER_03]: And by the way, let me say right off the bat, no issues.

01:46.579 --> 01:51.787
[SPEAKER_03]: But at a man of my age, it's a good idea to keep an eye on the prostate as I was told.

01:51.988 --> 01:54.612
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, you are like a Ducati automobile.

01:54.952 --> 01:56.094
[SPEAKER_04]: You are excellent.

01:56.235 --> 01:57.517
[SPEAKER_04]: You are fantastic.

01:57.537 --> 02:00.201
[SPEAKER_03]: You are designing a Ducati motorcycle.

02:00.535 --> 02:09.807
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, if they made it, if they made it, okay, you're like a Ducati motorcycle, Mike, and that you require maintenance, but when you are in fine fetal, you are desirable.

02:10.048 --> 02:16.236
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, I'm thinking like the old muscle cars, you just gotta keep it in the garage, tune it up, but then it goes out and it looks nice.

02:16.296 --> 02:17.017
[SPEAKER_02]: It still runs.

02:17.778 --> 02:19.941
[SPEAKER_04]: So, Mike, yeah, I still run.

02:20.302 --> 02:21.143
[SPEAKER_02]: I still run for now.

02:21.223 --> 02:28.252
[SPEAKER_04]: Every Friday night, Mike goes and sits in the parking lot of a burger king with all the other old men, and you can look at that man, how pretty they are.

02:28.453 --> 02:30.255
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I did.

02:30.235 --> 02:42.461
[SPEAKER_03]: I liked it, you know, with the previous co-host on this program referred to me as prickly, because somebody referred to me as prickly, then he's latched on to that.

02:43.102 --> 02:44.846
[SPEAKER_03]: Last email to the group.

02:45.908 --> 02:48.393
[SPEAKER_03]: Last word was prickly, correct?

02:48.413 --> 02:49.155
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I believe so.

02:49.135 --> 02:53.200
[SPEAKER_03]: And, and, and fine, I accept that bad job.

02:53.220 --> 02:55.723
[SPEAKER_04]: You've been with us correctly this year, Mike, than ever before.

02:55.923 --> 03:04.494
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't, I, I feel as though, prickly is now only when prickly is necessary.

03:04.734 --> 03:05.755
[SPEAKER_03]: Will I be prickly?

03:05.775 --> 03:14.586
[SPEAKER_04]: And also, Mike, knowing that you are prickly, acknowledging your prickliness, that is really the first sign that you're willing to change.

03:14.954 --> 03:24.366
[SPEAKER_03]: Now today, uh, because I ran a little late, uh, dropping our dog off who has a little, uh, pain in his right leg, uh, uh, and today my wife laid it on me last night.

03:24.386 --> 03:26.188
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you drop him off at eight o'clock at the vets?

03:26.208 --> 03:28.871
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said, well, they take me, you know, see, yeah, they probably will take early.

03:29.171 --> 03:31.735
[SPEAKER_03]: And I see all these people trundling in before eight o'clock.

03:31.775 --> 03:35.339
[SPEAKER_03]: And I see the places open for me to clock on, but people are still walking.

03:35.399 --> 03:36.260
[SPEAKER_03]: And the doors were open.

03:36.280 --> 03:38.683
[SPEAKER_03]: So I brought the dog in at 745, and I say,

03:38.663 --> 03:41.407
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to be at work like in about five to ten minutes.

03:41.708 --> 03:48.878
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm wondering if you could see me early and it's like, ham-ha, ham-ha, then about nine effing people walk in after me.

03:49.980 --> 03:54.787
[SPEAKER_03]: And I sat, and I watched everybody get called in front of me.

03:54.807 --> 04:00.115
[SPEAKER_03]: I watched everybody get called, and I said, and this one I was prickly without justification.

04:00.095 --> 04:07.563
[SPEAKER_03]: And I walked up and I go, well, now it's eight o'clock and I really do have to go, and they accommodated me and it was it was wonderful.

04:07.964 --> 04:09.946
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm leaving out all the details.

04:09.966 --> 04:16.734
[SPEAKER_04]: Did you did you expect them that dozens and dozens of people rely on you being on time to be an eight or nine people?

04:17.034 --> 04:18.976
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, really need me to be here.

04:19.356 --> 04:25.223
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I could see you're there with the dog and somewhere at home, Jimmato is drumming his fingers on his desk.

04:25.383 --> 04:27.325
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait, that is nothing to do with yesterday.

04:27.345 --> 04:28.887
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you ever think I just

04:28.867 --> 04:30.850
[SPEAKER_02]: Pine whims low to the tear and walk it out.

04:31.471 --> 04:31.812
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

04:31.912 --> 04:50.503
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

04:50.737 --> 04:58.123
[SPEAKER_03]: Shutto interrupt, oh can I maybe just get half a sentence out today before please please for the love of God.

04:58.484 --> 04:59.304
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

04:59.324 --> 05:00.726
[SPEAKER_03]: God, you are holiday robbing.

05:00.826 --> 05:02.868
[SPEAKER_03]: He's back ladies and gentlemen today.

05:03.288 --> 05:07.171
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, this is prickly because last year you complained there wasn't holiday robbing.

05:07.191 --> 05:09.934
[SPEAKER_04]: And this year I'm actually enjoying myself and you're not happy.

05:09.954 --> 05:10.594
[SPEAKER_03]: Shut up please.

05:10.654 --> 05:11.615
[SPEAKER_03]: Just shut up for a second.

05:11.635 --> 05:12.736
[SPEAKER_04]: That won't make me happy.

05:12.916 --> 05:14.297
[SPEAKER_03]: Just shut up.

05:14.718 --> 05:15.198
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

05:15.218 --> 05:20.743
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to, I want to share what happened and I want to set it up properly so that there's

05:20.723 --> 05:26.005
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a regular what do they call it a wellness check.

05:27.089 --> 05:28.776
[SPEAKER_03]: That is not coming to my house to see

05:30.190 --> 05:31.771
[SPEAKER_03]: you know, he's dying to flap it.

05:31.912 --> 05:32.432
[SPEAKER_03]: He's dying.

05:32.472 --> 05:33.473
[SPEAKER_03]: He's right now.

05:33.493 --> 05:34.594
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all of his power.

05:34.674 --> 05:38.738
[SPEAKER_04]: You have to be able to have an effecture to problem in your mind that doesn't happen.

05:38.818 --> 05:44.222
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to excuse me that you in a rupture, I shouldn't be on a like 75 times.

05:44.262 --> 05:50.628
[SPEAKER_04]: No, that's manufactured at the moment that you are starting to talk and I am explicitly not talking.

05:50.808 --> 05:53.951
[SPEAKER_04]: And you're saying he's dying to talk because yeah, all right.

05:54.111 --> 05:54.512
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll shut up.

05:55.112 --> 05:56.293
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I'll shut up.

05:56.333 --> 05:58.375
[SPEAKER_03]: So what?

05:59.131 --> 06:18.608
[SPEAKER_03]: So anyway, I roll over to this after the wellness check this so you might want to just get it checked out And I go in and I am not expecting anything bad, but it's still I got a couple of you know We know people that have had prostate issues and some of them severe and some of them you know fatal

06:18.588 --> 06:21.032
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's a, you know, a thing that men have to be aware of.

06:21.092 --> 06:33.471
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, I'm told that type of a gland in the body that by the time you, you know, if you live forever to like 150, it will eventually get the big casino of course.

06:33.491 --> 06:35.955
[SPEAKER_03]: That's that's what I'm told about that particular part of the by.

06:35.935 --> 06:47.365
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm, you know, there's a tiny bit of me, even though the blood work scores are really good, I'm going just to get the final piece of the wellness check and it's no big as far as I'm concerned.

06:47.785 --> 06:51.848
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's why I waited over a month to go in and check it out.

06:51.888 --> 06:55.892
[SPEAKER_03]: And I, you know, because these are specialists and they book way, way in advance.

06:55.912 --> 06:57.013
[SPEAKER_03]: That's an eye, I'm fine with that.

06:57.573 --> 07:05.740
[SPEAKER_03]: And I really didn't think much about it except that, you know, the one thing that I know is probably coming and that is, you know,

07:05.720 --> 07:06.801
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm in finger.

07:07.142 --> 07:10.426
[SPEAKER_04]: Mike, my doctor once called it the trip to the jelly drawer.

07:11.989 --> 07:13.391
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, how did this doctor put it?

07:13.411 --> 07:13.951
[SPEAKER_03]: He was great.

07:14.112 --> 07:18.037
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, uh, it was some term that he used.

07:18.217 --> 07:19.980
[SPEAKER_03]: It's let's let's let's check under the hood.

07:20.621 --> 07:22.423
[SPEAKER_04]: That's kind of what that's what he see.

07:22.523 --> 07:31.195
[SPEAKER_04]: My eye prefer an organic maintenance for that part of the body, which is why I am scheduled for regular massages.

07:31.215 --> 07:32.237
[SPEAKER_04]: God, all right, stop.

07:32.817 --> 07:34.039
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to say this.

07:35.791 --> 07:36.386
[SPEAKER_03]: Um.

07:36.972 --> 07:45.521
[SPEAKER_03]: The interesting thing about this office is the office is located where my old general practitioner used to be and now he's across the street.

07:46.022 --> 07:51.688
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's a, I'm familiar with the office and the office works that the door is open up and you're right there.

07:51.928 --> 07:54.671
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's the whole, they've got the whole floor and there's a little building.

07:55.112 --> 08:06.304
[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't expect anything other than just to get in there, the iron finger, little stress and stuff like that and then excuse me, hopefully a clean bill out and I'm on my way.

08:12.427 --> 08:25.199
[SPEAKER_03]: doors open up and I'll tell you I probably have a significant anxiety about front desk personnel.

08:25.741 --> 08:27.465
[SPEAKER_03]: You've never had good luck with them.

08:27.530 --> 08:32.520
[SPEAKER_03]: It can go really only two ways, or three ways.

08:32.680 --> 08:36.908
[SPEAKER_03]: There can be in difference, which is fine.

08:37.730 --> 08:41.597
[SPEAKER_03]: There can be really terrific, which is a nice warm greeting.

08:41.898 --> 08:45.505
[SPEAKER_03]: And then there can be the worst part, which is just

08:45.485 --> 09:14.108
[SPEAKER_03]: real like borderline hostility for reasons that can't be explained exactly yesterday I experienced the third and it began it begins with the doors opening and I got to get my phone out here okay because I just want to read a text that I got and I got the I got the text maybe two days ago okay and one of those

09:14.088 --> 09:16.311
[SPEAKER_04]: So this is from the doctor's office, this text.

09:16.331 --> 09:23.340
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let me see if I can, when you got it, did it seem mechanically generated or did it seem like someone actually texted you?

09:23.740 --> 09:24.101
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.

09:24.822 --> 09:38.239
[SPEAKER_04]: Because I used to get automatic texts from a doctor that I no longer went to largely for the fact that he would email text and call with like a calling machine a robot reminding me for an appointment that was another ladies.

09:38.219 --> 09:39.561
[SPEAKER_03]: This would be last Thursday.

09:39.621 --> 09:39.842
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

09:39.862 --> 09:41.664
[SPEAKER_03]: It would be last Thursday at 11.40m.

09:41.684 --> 09:48.896
[SPEAKER_03]: I get Michael, confirm your appointment at 11.15 a.m. Yourologist, text stop to opt out.

09:49.196 --> 09:49.437
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

09:49.457 --> 09:50.358
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's automatic deal.

09:50.699 --> 09:51.981
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm like, okay.

09:52.702 --> 09:57.409
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I also went online and filled out all their paperwork.

09:57.389 --> 10:00.015
[SPEAKER_03]: in advance because that is a time.

10:00.035 --> 10:08.715
[SPEAKER_03]: So the doors open up and the very first thing when you know there might be an issue is you get the looking down.

10:10.062 --> 10:13.787
[SPEAKER_03]: And the words are, name, please, oh no.

10:13.808 --> 10:15.290
[SPEAKER_03]: And all right, no, but that's all right.

10:15.370 --> 10:16.652
[SPEAKER_03]: That's happened a million times.

10:16.972 --> 10:17.813
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no big, what?

10:17.833 --> 10:18.715
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's the holidays.

10:18.775 --> 10:22.160
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's the holidays, and also people go to this particular guy.

10:22.180 --> 10:24.203
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, there might be something serious.

10:24.243 --> 10:28.008
[SPEAKER_03]: So you're probably dealing with a little elevated anxiety when you want to get stood.

10:28.449 --> 10:30.672
[SPEAKER_03]: And then there is a, okay.

10:30.692 --> 10:37.302
[SPEAKER_03]: And from name, please, first words are, you're a half hour late.

10:38.412 --> 10:38.713
[SPEAKER_03]: What?

10:39.354 --> 10:44.785
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, no, the thing says, I'm here a little before 1115.

10:45.046 --> 10:45.787
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what I love.

10:45.807 --> 10:46.248
[SPEAKER_03]: I love the.

10:47.050 --> 10:57.231
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I can't give you all the details of the words that we said, but it was something along the lines of, I registered you for that appointment.

10:57.599 --> 11:01.546
[SPEAKER_03]: And I specifically said, be here half an hour early to fill out paperwork.

11:01.946 --> 11:15.169
[SPEAKER_03]: I said something like, I filled out all the paperwork online anyway, but I never, I don't remember, you know, it was over a month ago and I got, and then I produced the two message that said 1115.

11:15.149 --> 11:28.231
[SPEAKER_03]: and then we went back and forth and within a minute and a half I'm having an argument at the front about being a half hour late with a real attitude and was the was the waiting room crowded?

11:28.251 --> 11:29.293
[SPEAKER_03]: No.

11:29.894 --> 11:34.161
[SPEAKER_04]: So I mean it didn't look like you were going to muck up the system by being on.

11:34.201 --> 11:38.608
[SPEAKER_03]: No, but there's just a scow, I'm not getting a greeting, I'm not getting, and I said um

11:39.449 --> 11:48.497
[SPEAKER_03]: I said do you treat all of your patients this way and at that point she's received the insurance card and the driver's license and she turns

11:49.912 --> 11:51.234
[SPEAKER_03]: And she said, I can't do this.

11:51.534 --> 11:55.600
[SPEAKER_03]: And she tosses it to the other woman on the other side of the office.

11:55.620 --> 12:00.727
[SPEAKER_03]: She can't even make that's really bad.

12:00.767 --> 12:04.072
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's just this scene.

12:04.493 --> 12:05.314
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

12:05.574 --> 12:09.540
[SPEAKER_03]: And as I'm walking, she said, she'll take you over there.

12:10.421 --> 12:18.653
[SPEAKER_03]: And I looked down, I'm not letting it go, because this is obviously, the one thing I am perceiving is this is a bully.

12:18.886 --> 12:22.570
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is somebody who probably deals with elderly people.

12:22.790 --> 12:26.394
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that take the crap and I'm not taking the crap.

12:26.414 --> 12:28.196
[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's just instantaneous.

12:28.296 --> 12:29.417
[SPEAKER_04]: She's a terrorist, right?

12:29.437 --> 12:32.401
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said, are you having a bad day?

12:32.501 --> 12:33.462
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't go off.

12:33.482 --> 12:34.663
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't say anything.

12:35.424 --> 12:39.188
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the other person, I will walk around.

12:39.208 --> 12:41.771
[SPEAKER_03]: You literally walk around the corner of the other glass window.

12:41.991 --> 12:42.452
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

12:42.952 --> 12:46.436
[SPEAKER_03]: This lady is now out of the waiting area and gone to the back room.

12:46.456 --> 12:47.357
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm hearing.

12:47.337 --> 12:53.183
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what the hell is going on.

12:53.643 --> 13:06.276
[SPEAKER_03]: The vibe I'm getting, because I immediately begin to try to assess whether this next person is intimidated on my side with the other lady.

13:06.616 --> 13:08.118
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you got to feel the room.

13:08.178 --> 13:09.259
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you got to feel the room.

13:09.299 --> 13:10.280
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm getting smiles.

13:10.701 --> 13:12.302
[SPEAKER_03]: So at this point, I'm getting smiles.

13:12.362 --> 13:13.403
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm trying to be polite.

13:13.864 --> 13:16.146
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm feeling my heart rate.

13:16.328 --> 13:34.303
[SPEAKER_03]: is is going thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump because I don't I'm just I was blindsided by this and I'm not in here and now and now it's just a bit of a thing and at this point I am really going back and forth in my own mind and I'm sure people of experiences of effort.

13:34.486 --> 13:43.116
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll go see somebody else, but I'm like, no, this is the front desk person has really nothing to do with anybody else that I'm going to deal with after this.

13:43.156 --> 13:46.200
[SPEAKER_03]: This is a, I'm considered, but I was so close.

13:46.540 --> 13:52.307
[SPEAKER_03]: I, oh, by the way, all I need is one more bit of rude and that'll count.

13:52.327 --> 13:52.848
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm out of there.

13:53.088 --> 13:53.589
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.

13:53.669 --> 13:54.770
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.

13:55.090 --> 13:56.132
[SPEAKER_03]: Good bye.

13:56.192 --> 14:01.438
[SPEAKER_04]: You're not even bringing up the fact that when she provides that element of tension,

14:01.418 --> 14:03.882
[SPEAKER_04]: and you get very tense and of tight.

14:04.183 --> 14:05.565
[SPEAKER_04]: It makes the exam harder.

14:09.151 --> 14:09.492
[SPEAKER_04]: It does.

14:09.552 --> 14:13.518
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be referred to as the Pucker factor.

14:13.979 --> 14:14.961
[SPEAKER_04]: Precisely, Mike.

14:14.981 --> 14:15.562
[SPEAKER_04]: And you don't have that.

14:15.582 --> 14:16.123
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't get it.

14:16.223 --> 14:17.966
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't get it from the other lady checking me in.

14:18.086 --> 14:20.811
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the assistant comes out this guy.

14:20.851 --> 14:22.914
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's this guy.

14:23.355 --> 14:26.380
[SPEAKER_03]: He's very, um, matter of fact, but I'm also,

14:27.085 --> 14:50.730
[SPEAKER_03]: heart still thump in it is that you wonder when you're going through it has she just said shared with the world that that I'm the problem in the back or something like that could be that I don't know what she's doing so I don't know I don't know who she's talking to or what's going on but I'm I'm filled with all this angst the second lady no reason the second lady at the desk did she sort of at all communicate the fact that

14:50.710 --> 15:00.240
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, this is just the way she is and she's maybe just a touch, but it's hard to tell, but yeah, there was certainly wasn't anything negative from the other lady.

15:00.260 --> 15:00.480
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

15:00.500 --> 15:04.284
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to objectify the first lady, but was she older?

15:04.384 --> 15:05.185
[SPEAKER_04]: Was she younger?

15:05.245 --> 15:06.827
[SPEAKER_04]: Did she look like anyone famous?

15:06.907 --> 15:10.230
[SPEAKER_04]: Did she before you got the bad treatment?

15:10.290 --> 15:12.132
[SPEAKER_04]: Which would force you to judge her as a bad.

15:12.252 --> 15:13.073
[SPEAKER_04]: No, she didn't.

15:13.093 --> 15:14.795
[SPEAKER_03]: She was a very average looking person.

15:14.815 --> 15:15.355
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm remarkable.

15:15.375 --> 15:16.517
[SPEAKER_03]: Like unremarkable.

15:16.537 --> 15:19.059
[SPEAKER_03]: Nothing, you know, maybe that's why she's mad.

15:19.340 --> 15:19.840
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

15:19.820 --> 15:24.039
[SPEAKER_03]: you know, a younger than much younger than me, you know, and, uh, but not not a kid.

15:24.521 --> 15:26.068
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's all I can tell you about her.

15:26.369 --> 15:29.222
[SPEAKER_03]: The other guy comes out and he's kind of matter of fact.

15:29.675 --> 15:50.350
[SPEAKER_03]: So he's but he's completely polite and he's completely, but there's no, you know, welcome or any of that and I still I'm thinking okay, have I screwed up their whole day now is this so what's going on here and I'm really I'm freaking out about and I this go this carries into Oh, and I'm filling out paperwork by the way.

15:50.330 --> 15:51.613
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it the same report?

15:51.633 --> 15:52.596
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, of course.

15:52.616 --> 15:54.400
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, repeat paperwork.

15:54.500 --> 15:56.124
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, not exactly repeat.

15:56.164 --> 16:05.046
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to I want to be fair here and say no wasn't exactly the repeat of what I filled out But there was certain redundancies to okay, that's normal in a doctor's office.

16:05.066 --> 16:06.109
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that that's the way it goes.

16:06.129 --> 16:06.550
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Josh

16:06.530 --> 16:09.836
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you get to see her interact with anyone else during this time?

16:10.016 --> 16:13.202
[SPEAKER_03]: No, because the whole time I'm in the outer office, there's, she's gone.

16:13.323 --> 16:14.264
[SPEAKER_03]: She's not there.

16:14.865 --> 16:16.829
[SPEAKER_03]: And, uh, but that'll come in the play later.

16:17.090 --> 16:17.250
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

16:17.270 --> 16:18.232
[SPEAKER_03]: That'll come in the play later.

16:18.592 --> 16:20.556
[SPEAKER_01]: T-M-O-S classic.

16:21.498 --> 16:28.495
[SPEAKER_03]: So I go back and the guys taking my vitals, they do a, are you sure this guy works there?

16:29.658 --> 16:32.245
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because he's got the out of the out of the out of the out of the out of the out.

16:32.546 --> 16:36.515
[SPEAKER_03]: He takes all my, my info and then he does what's called a bladder scan.

16:36.696 --> 16:38.781
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess they look for look at the bladder.

16:40.246 --> 16:44.330
[SPEAKER_03]: they do a bladder skin with it's like a sonogram that a friend would have.

16:45.031 --> 16:45.572
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

16:45.592 --> 16:47.193
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, hey, hey, hey, your bladder bladder.

16:47.313 --> 16:47.714
[SPEAKER_03]: You get done.

16:47.874 --> 16:48.214
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

16:48.495 --> 17:05.713
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got all I need and the doctor will see you and I said and then I make some reference to the fact that man, oh man, I I'm glad everything's going small now because it certainly didn't go smoothly at the front up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up and I kind of share with him what was going on and he says to me and I quote,

17:05.693 --> 17:14.421
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the gist of it is well, you really I really hope you would share that with the doctor because any kind of an a whisper says to me, you're really

17:17.708 --> 17:18.790
[SPEAKER_03]: There it is.

17:19.491 --> 17:26.861
[SPEAKER_03]: And suddenly the weight is lifted off me because, oh, I, I'm not the only one.

17:27.041 --> 17:29.926
[SPEAKER_03]: So this is repeat biz we have here now.

17:29.946 --> 17:36.715
[SPEAKER_04]: I have seen in different medical offices where the lady at the front desk is under the impression that they run things.

17:37.176 --> 17:38.558
[SPEAKER_03]: It's, it's a little bit of a thing.

17:38.578 --> 17:39.299
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no thing.

17:39.339 --> 17:39.560
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

17:40.080 --> 17:41.502
[SPEAKER_03]: There, it, it, it, it, it.

17:41.963 --> 17:46.770
[SPEAKER_03]: So the exam, no problems like the doctor,

17:46.750 --> 17:47.711
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you want loves?

17:49.633 --> 17:50.233
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

17:50.774 --> 17:51.815
[SPEAKER_03]: I was facing a way.

17:51.935 --> 17:52.616
[SPEAKER_04]: I understand.

17:53.036 --> 17:55.399
[SPEAKER_03]: Both sides are examined.

17:55.899 --> 17:56.540
[SPEAKER_03]: Both sides.

17:56.660 --> 17:57.220
[SPEAKER_04]: Lucky you.

17:57.701 --> 17:57.961
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Happy day.

[SPEAKER_03]: In and out.

17:59.623 --> 18:00.403
[SPEAKER_03]: No problem.

18:00.423 --> 18:01.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I shouldn't use that term.

18:01.605 --> 18:04.728
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think I was in the office and I was out of the office.

18:04.928 --> 18:12.315
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he says, There's a, There's one prescription he gives me.

18:12.876 --> 18:15.238
[SPEAKER_03]: And then

18:15.387 --> 18:42.205
[SPEAKER_03]: a follow-up appointment I think in six weeks something like that and uh... oral medication that he gives you no it's a suppository i shove up my butt see i did just want to come on yet no people want to be a cream it could be a jibisav i uh... i lost the afflicted remember that the funniest blinds and everybody's right that cream my bro so

18:50.690 --> 18:58.220
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's non-committal, but he's listening, and he says, yeah, well, it's been a day.

18:58.661 --> 19:00.303
[SPEAKER_03]: Something like that, blah, blah, blah.

19:00.323 --> 19:02.305
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just, you know, just wanted to be here.

19:02.325 --> 19:03.848
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going back there any time soon.

19:03.868 --> 19:04.348
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't care.

19:04.368 --> 19:06.371
[SPEAKER_03]: I just wanted them to know what's going on.

19:06.651 --> 19:13.120
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he walks me all the way out to the front desk to the woman's back there again.

19:13.403 --> 19:14.525
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, she's returned.

19:15.286 --> 19:20.934
[SPEAKER_03]: And she is, I'm sorry, I got to tell the truth, it's scowling.

19:21.375 --> 19:21.515
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

19:21.535 --> 19:25.081
[SPEAKER_04]: And I just, with the, do you get the feeling that's her resting face?

19:25.481 --> 19:25.722
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

19:26.082 --> 19:26.403
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

19:26.423 --> 19:26.623
[SPEAKER_04]: Good.

19:28.005 --> 19:30.248
[SPEAKER_03]: And the thing is filled out.

19:30.729 --> 19:33.193
[SPEAKER_03]: And she says, okay, you have a follow-up at that time.

19:33.213 --> 19:33.994
[SPEAKER_03]: What's a good time?

19:34.582 --> 19:39.389
[SPEAKER_03]: And I say, I work in the morning, so probably midday.

19:39.489 --> 19:40.992
[SPEAKER_03]: We have no cap to anything.

19:41.512 --> 19:45.759
[SPEAKER_03]: And as I said, listen, I'm sorry for the confusion, but, and I'm pissed.

19:46.340 --> 19:46.680
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.

19:47.221 --> 19:48.503
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think you owe me an apology.

19:49.585 --> 19:53.551
[SPEAKER_03]: And she says, I was trying to give you an apology.

19:53.571 --> 19:54.051
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you weren't.

19:55.013 --> 19:57.737
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry, but I wish she tried to give me a apology.

19:58.088 --> 20:01.120
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said, for the minute I walked in, you're looking down, you don't look up.

20:01.160 --> 20:04.673
[SPEAKER_03]: And she takes, she got this headset on, she goes, you see this?

20:05.851 --> 20:07.433
[SPEAKER_03]: This is for when I'm on the phone.

20:07.713 --> 20:10.136
[SPEAKER_03]: I looked at her, I said, but you weren't on the phone when I walked in.

20:10.196 --> 20:12.238
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have known if you were having a phone conversation.

20:12.839 --> 20:13.900
[SPEAKER_03]: No answer to that.

20:14.822 --> 20:18.726
[SPEAKER_03]: And then my last words are her with, you know, be careful who you piss off.

20:18.746 --> 20:22.511
[SPEAKER_03]: They might have a bunch of people that would be interested to hear this story, which I'm sharing right now.

20:22.831 --> 20:25.454
[SPEAKER_03]: And if she's listening right now, I hope she does better.

20:25.895 --> 20:30.880
[SPEAKER_03]: The one other thing I said, because at this point another person comes out from behind because I wasn't letting it go, because I don't, right?

20:31.081 --> 20:32.542
[SPEAKER_03]: Bullies getting away with crap.

20:32.582 --> 20:32.803
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

20:32.863 --> 20:35.706
[SPEAKER_03]: And obviously the other lady said,

20:35.686 --> 20:46.204
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't have any major medical issues, but I'm sure there are plenty of people that come in here and do and are filled with a worry and anxiety and I really hope that you wouldn't treat them the way I was treated to it.

20:46.224 --> 20:46.624
[SPEAKER_03]: See you later.

20:47.245 --> 20:48.908
[SPEAKER_03]: And that was it and I was on my merry wet.

20:49.669 --> 20:53.756
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm still thinking about it going into today.

20:53.776 --> 20:55.219
[SPEAKER_03]: I was thinking about it coming into this show.

20:55.259 --> 20:57.222
[SPEAKER_03]: It was unnecessary.

20:57.202 --> 21:01.195
[SPEAKER_04]: Only the only thing I can think is that it's a very busy time in the office.

21:01.236 --> 21:03.824
[SPEAKER_04]: This is the busy time of year for ornament removal.

21:04.547 --> 21:07.035
[SPEAKER_04]: And they very, very busy time for them.

21:07.075 --> 21:09.102
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, maybe she's just in over her head.

21:09.352 --> 21:17.965
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, as far as when, you know, you asked if there was anybody in the waiting room when I got there, there was not.

21:17.985 --> 21:25.537
[SPEAKER_03]: And as far as the people in the waiting room when I left, Ne, not a soul, not a soul out there.

21:25.597 --> 21:28.642
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe one guy came in while I was waiting to check out.

21:29.103 --> 21:30.505
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was that, I don't know.

21:30.705 --> 21:32.608
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it's just, I don't think.

21:32.588 --> 21:34.353
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my, hold on a second.

21:34.955 --> 21:36.419
[SPEAKER_03]: We have a we have a call.

21:37.000 --> 21:37.903
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.

21:37.923 --> 21:39.126
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you have to say hello.

21:40.009 --> 21:41.072
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi, this is Greg Omen.

21:41.553 --> 21:42.295
[SPEAKER_01]: Wishing you.

21:42.696 --> 21:44.321
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'm very very married.

21:44.341 --> 21:45.163
[SPEAKER_01]: He's dead.

21:45.183 --> 21:47.229
[SPEAKER_01]: He's greetings for me in the Greg Omen band.

21:47.249 --> 21:47.931
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

21:48.451 --> 21:48.992
[SPEAKER_03]: He's dead.

21:49.413 --> 21:49.694
[SPEAKER_01]: What?

21:50.335 --> 21:50.596
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

21:51.317 --> 21:52.079
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you have a wall?

21:52.400 --> 21:53.021
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't.

21:53.041 --> 21:53.803
[SPEAKER_04]: Mike, I don't know.

21:54.224 --> 21:55.847
[SPEAKER_04]: They just may pop up at any time.

21:55.867 --> 21:56.388
[SPEAKER_03]: You never know.

21:56.589 --> 21:57.370
[SPEAKER_03]: You never know.

21:57.491 --> 21:57.952
[SPEAKER_03]: You never know.

21:57.972 --> 21:59.856
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know Greg Olman was dead.

21:59.876 --> 22:00.337
[SPEAKER_03]: I did.

22:00.357 --> 22:01.299
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, yes, yes.

22:01.319 --> 22:02.020
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

22:02.040 --> 22:02.802
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

22:03.043 --> 22:08.755
[SPEAKER_04]: He wouldn't be dead if he visited his urologist on a regular basis for a while.

22:08.735 --> 22:13.761
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, this person in my theory is this particular person would be much like me.

22:14.141 --> 22:20.008
[SPEAKER_03]: When I rant and rave on the show, if I'm really angry, if I'm really mad at something, I don't feel good after that.

22:20.268 --> 22:22.250
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't like walk out of here dancing.

22:22.310 --> 22:23.452
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like crap.

22:23.472 --> 22:25.134
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm sure that she's the same way.

22:25.634 --> 22:27.276
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know she's not the same way.

22:27.376 --> 22:27.977
[SPEAKER_04]: She loves it.

22:28.397 --> 22:29.879
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't think it's a love thing.

22:29.939 --> 22:34.084
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's just, how can you be happy if you treat people like that?

22:34.104 --> 22:37.948
[SPEAKER_03]: Because you can't, how can you treat people like that if it doesn't make you happy?

22:37.928 --> 22:40.693
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't but I don't know who knows.

22:41.094 --> 22:42.056
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if it's regular.

22:42.096 --> 22:42.797
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if it's okay.

22:42.817 --> 22:47.986
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's lots of people who are miserable and all they can do is cause other people to be miserable.

22:48.006 --> 22:48.567
[SPEAKER_04]: It's very true.

22:48.808 --> 22:55.921
[SPEAKER_04]: And on a really assistant doctor was he like a nurse practitioner or an intern or just a helper guy from around the neighborhood.

22:56.001 --> 22:58.846
[SPEAKER_04]: There's the PA physicians assistant.

22:59.087 --> 23:00.409

[SPEAKER_03]: And I, I, I used to land when I went to the vet today.

23:44.315 --> 23:46.378

[SPEAKER_04]: Intelligence for your Mike.

24:06.538 --> 24:11.004
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was, it was off to get a rat for Jake and pick up my kid at the point.

24:11.045 --> 24:12.466
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, he's up for rats now, isn't he?

24:12.486 --> 24:14.129
[SPEAKER_03]: From school, just up to small rats.

24:15.030 --> 24:22.320
[SPEAKER_03]: And everybody that came across my path for the rest of the day, I killed him with kindness,

24:22.300 --> 24:27.148
[SPEAKER_03]: the prickly guy at the tire center when I had my second count.

24:27.168 --> 24:28.590
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm second flat tire.

24:28.931 --> 24:30.733
[SPEAKER_04]: What do you think about your own construction sites?

[SPEAKER_04]: How are you getting these flats?

24:32.717 --> 24:37.665
[SPEAKER_03]: Went to a part of the world off the highway that were very much under construction.

24:37.945 --> 24:43.915
[SPEAKER_03]: Lots of vehicles, lots of lanes crossing, lots of debris in the roadway.

24:44.075 --> 24:44.996
[SPEAKER_03]: It was that type of thing.

24:45.016 --> 24:47.380
[SPEAKER_04]: And then this is where your medical office was.

24:48.136 --> 24:49.059
[SPEAKER_03]: No, they were fine.

24:49.159 --> 24:49.741
[SPEAKER_03]: They were good.

24:50.041 --> 24:50.663
[SPEAKER_03]: They're fine.

[SPEAKER_04]: Some of them are really fine.

24:54.594 --> 24:57.824
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I was, I picked my kid up.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I gave him a donut when we when he got in the car as a treat because it's holidays and yeah, yeah, yeah, and and so When I got him dad, I hear something coming out of the tire and I kind of poo pooed it and then Like ten minutes later, Crowley goes out to the grudges that tire is flat and I look and it's flat, so it's going to

25:22.713 --> 25:24.577
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I've got modern cars.

25:24.657 --> 25:27.783
[SPEAKER_04]: My first of all, you should feel a flat before you hear it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Like the dump, the dump, the dump, or the, and you can get it.

25:30.788 --> 25:32.572
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, no, it was, it was, it was a leak.

26:21.586 --> 26:22.507
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a way to go.

26:22.647 --> 26:24.529
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't have a couple of Mike out of couple.

[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to answer it.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was not on.

26:28.873 --> 26:29.754
[SPEAKER_03]: Or that's the point.

26:29.894 --> 26:31.075
[SPEAKER_03]: It is very disappointing.

26:31.095 --> 26:31.455
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what?

26:31.475 --> 26:32.316
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not so bad.

26:32.436 --> 26:33.918

[SPEAKER_03]: They were very fresh.

26:38.802 --> 26:43.795
[SPEAKER_03]: I found out because I do a Google search that I got this tire joint.

26:44.015 --> 26:44.938
[SPEAKER_03]: I could walk to it.

26:45.198 --> 26:46.983
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like literally around the corner.

26:47.063 --> 26:48.146
[SPEAKER_03]: That's ironic isn't it?

26:48.487 --> 26:51.394
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm filled with anxiety again because that

26:51.914 --> 26:59.965
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, it's that no I mean it what what are you saying there everywhere no saying that why would you walk to a tire place because you don't Okay, that's it.
