This is between two shows podcast oniHeartRadio. Hey, what's up. I'm
Dave and I'm and it's Phil.I am so nervous. It is colonoscopy
time. Yeah, that's what well, yeah, that's what my doctor Amy
told me. My doctor Amy,just a couple of weeks ago. She

(00:22):
said, you know, it's timefor colonoscopy. And I said, I
know, and I'm super nervous aboutit. Have you never had one?
I've never had one. Why areyou nervous? Let's break this down.
Why are you nervous? Well,okay, so I'm nervous for the prep.
I've always heard that's the worst partof Hell. Yeah, I'm nervous
for the actual procedure while it's happening, even though they say you're in twilight,

(00:44):
they make you out. Yeah,okay, you don't know what's going
on. Well, all right,all right. As a colonoscopy veteran,
I've heard three Okay, so nowthe first one I had, I was,
like you, a little bit nervous, but the prep was the worst
part. They knock you out.Okay. Well, at one point during
the procedure, I start to wakeup and I felt a little pressure down

(01:07):
there. I thought, well,that's not right. Oh my god.
And then I heard the nurse sayhe's coming to he needs more. So
then they shot me up with somemore stuff, and out I went.
And then he got a whole lotand I don't remember anything. That's my
worst nightmare. Phil. Just tellhim to give you a little extra and
you'll be okay. So then mydoctor, she says she'll refer me to

(01:27):
somebody great, and she's awesome.So I'm telling my wife this and she
said, wait, she's referring youto a woman doctor. I was like,
I mean, yeah, yeah,I mean she apparently did not like
that idea. I feel about that. Well, go to a woman doctor
anyway. I do. But it'snot she didn't do anything like that right,

(01:53):
or like a physical I need.She answered, doctor, she's checked
my heart, my blood pressure,okay, you know all that. She's
maybe poked and prodder around on mybelly a little bit anywhere else he knows
you. Well, it's okay.Yeah. I think you need to have
a little more personal relationship with yourdoctor too, you know, they need

(02:14):
to know you a little bit more. No, I can't do that.
Why I would rather be like astranger, like a stranger with a degree.
I'm fine with that. My doctor, his grandson and my son are
really good friends. So that's whereI kind of like a little bit too
much and I can't do that.It's just like if I had a friend
that was a dentist, I couldn'tgo to a dentist that was a friend

(02:36):
of mine. I'd just like tokeep it more of a professional kind of
a thing. I am with youone hundred percent, thank you, Dave.
Yes, I am not. Okay. Let me tell you something,
buddy. My gynecologist, doctor StephenBromfield, listens to us. Oh,
and he has seen quite a bitof me. How does he feel about

(02:57):
you going to a guy he's neverhe's never even made a question about I
mean never, I mean, andI've been going to this man for gosh
ten years now, and he Imean, I talk to him when I
do see him. We talk aboutthe show, we talk about our lives,
we talk about trips were taken,we talked. He went by the
way. When I was having Leo, he was at a Jimmy Buffer concert,
so I couldn't. He did notdeliver LEA. So do you have

(03:21):
these conversations during procedures. I mean, listen, guys, I think I
don't know what it is between menand women. And maybe some women are
very you know, kind of takingit back by talking to their doctor when
they're doing this stuff. Me,I feel like I have been poked and
prodded plenty by multiple doctors throughout mylife that I'm just like, yeah,
whatever what you need to do,spread eagle, here we go. I

(03:44):
don't see it as anything different.I mean, they're a doctor. That
might be a little awkward, butthey gotta do it. So I did
having a baby change that for you, like was it? And it didn't
make it any better because that Iwas going to the doctor every three months
and then they're they're checking me everythree months. And then I got a
peece every three months in a cup, and then I got I just it
was constant with the baby, okay. And when you're in the delivery room,

(04:05):
man, there is I mean,I didn't know what was happening behind
that sheet when I had a Csection. I didn't want to know,
okay, But there was like fouror five people back there, Okay,
I don't know who all of themwere, but they were doing something to
help me. So I didn't.I will tell you this. I did
mention a couple's colonoscopy to my doctorand she said, no kidding, she

(04:28):
knows someone who's had a couple's areyou because they wanted the husband and wife
wanted to keep their appointments together.Basically, I think it's brilliant. It's
brilliant. Who's going to drive himhome? Well? Your daughter? Yeah,
okay, you and Tracy make ita date night. Okay, come

(04:53):
on, and then afterwards you cango and get some champagne and sushi and
be and be in Twilight. Belike Sarah, take us home. We
just had a couple of colonoscopies.That is so bizarre. It's fun.
It's so bizarre. A couple's colonoscopy. Yeah, I didn't think it was
an actual thing. I was justkind of joking about it, and she

(05:13):
said done, She said, actuallyI know. So I was like,
well, is it the same doctor? Do they sit in like a swivel
chair and just go back to thesame one, the same one? You
know? I mean you got onein each hand, you got two monitors
up there, multics, you're holdinghands while it happens this is wonderful.

(05:42):
Hey, please schedule this just forus, and can we film it?
And Tracy's got like another year orso, she said, we can't,
so you can't put it all.He can wait. So okay, okay,
well we'll film yours and put Iwill say the last time I had
a colonoscopy, I also had anendoscopy. So they go through the top

(06:03):
end through the bottom. My god, I just I kind of wondered if
they kind of stuck one end downand one end up and then they connected
and pulled it back and forth tokind of cleaning everything out. But then
they'll they'll give you this little thenurse, you're good. But the nurse
before I was going into prep,uh, she said, you're having an

(06:25):
endoscopy and a colonoscopy. Hunh.I said, yeah, that's right.
She goes, well, if youwake up and there's a mint on your
pillow, you know, we usethe same wand got the dirty humor when
you're at the doctor's. I gottatell you that's my favorite. It is
it always skeptical of going into somethinglike that, you know, and uh,

(06:45):
the doctors are the nurse who havenow they're professionals. I know that,
and they have to go up yourwe're into the scope things for sure.
But just if they just like youknow, pick up the covers and
peek under the covers when you're knockedout, I don't know. I don't
think they do. I wouldn't saythey do. Well listen, I don't
care if they do, because Ihave had doctor c everything there, so
I think it's due time for youall. I think something that might keep

(07:10):
them from doing that is their colleaguesbeing you know, maybe if it was
just one doctor working on you,then maybe I see. I think it
would be just the opposite of morethan yay, look at that. Who's
got their phone? It's always coldin the room too, well, I

(07:35):
want a conversation. Well, thatseems like a rat check back weekly in
case we do something
