Welcome to the Between Two Shows.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Podcasts with Dave and Jen and Phil.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Well, welcome back from your procedure.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Phil, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I was it?
Speaker 5 (00:15):
Oh well, it was just as everyone can imagine. You know,
they knock you out and they poke and prod at
your bottom half. Now I was fortunate that I had
a top and bottom half. So I had the endoscopy
and colonoscary. Oh wow, So it was a fassing situation.
(00:36):
There's a magnet they stick up your rear end and
down your throat and the connect and then they just flop.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's not first of all, you had a colonoscopy. Let's
go ahead and say that.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
Okay, So the colonoscopy, sir it They always say that
the worst part.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
About that is the prep.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
That is correct.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
How did that go?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
That was something? So here's the thing. My procedure was
scheduled for two o'clock on a Monday.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (00:59):
They start me prepping at noon on Sunday. Now I
like to eat, yeah, but I can't eat anything from
noon on Sunday until after the procedure is over.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Can you don't have like jello?
Speaker 6 (01:11):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
I mean you. I mean, I guess you could, but
it's like a liquid diet is all it is. I
have chicken broth, yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Yeah, but it's still can't have any jello with color,
right either. Yeah, it's all got to be clean wine.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Well, they don't want to confuse anything, like you couldn't
have red Power Aid gatorade because.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
It might look like blood. There you go, right, so
they clear it all out.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
Okay, so I did have a little chicken broth, but
I mean once you start to and look, they give
you this prescript. You go get this mirror axe. I
don't know if you've had that before now, but I
bought it and it says, okay, this is fourteen daily
doses and I'm taking the entire bottle in a two
hour span. Right on top of that, after four hours,
(01:53):
I've got to take a couple of dulkhale acts. So
it's like they want to make sure that you are empty.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Nothing comes out right. So that's that was That was
my day.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I was I was back and forth from drinking the
stuff on the toilets.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
That is that it.
Speaker 7 (02:12):
Sounds like, Listen, I had the same procedure just a
few months back, and I remember before they put me under,
the anesthesiologists asked me what I did for work?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Okay, and I thought, why are.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You asking me?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I don't really want to answer this.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
And there were a couple of other I guess they
were nurses in the room at the same time.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And I said, well, I work on the radio. He said,
really you do. And I saw both nurses look at each.
Speaker 7 (02:50):
Other lord at the exact same time and give like
a little smirk.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Here we go.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Your is your your fanny exposed? At this point it
was not yet good but but you know they saw it.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But it was about later, right, Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I just think you should know that, Okay, a situation.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
That's the thing when I go into a doctor's office
and I think we've had this discussion before.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
I don't want to know the people.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
I don't want them to be my friend, I know,
because they're going to be seeing your rear end.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Listen. That's the thing.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
I see my gynecologist out and about all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
He's a great guy, he's a nice guy. I like
him a lot. I feel very comfortable with him. But
I know that he has seen quite the intimate part
of me. You know what.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
It just isn't little.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
It is.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
It's very weird.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
Now.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Did he make you toot before you left?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
No?
Speaker 5 (03:40):
I was looking forward to that, but that did not.
It didn't happen at least what I remember, because I
told my wife the next day. I said, there is
a period of time of about an hour where I
don't remember a thing, like the time I got into
the recovery room until the time I got into the car.
I don't remember seeing anybody. I don't remember saying anything.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Did Alison record you?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
She did not.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
She did, she, but she said, you didn't really do
anything weird. There's just a nurse that came in and
you asked, are you Russian?
Speaker 4 (04:08):
She was.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
She was from the Ukraine and she had the accent.
So I was like, okay, well are you Russian. It's
not like people listening. It's like, oh it blah blah blah.
I k new Nikita cool off.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
No.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
But so then the doctor came in and he explained everything.
I have no clue what he said. I don't remember
him coming in. But then we get back in my
wife said, well, what do you want to eat? I'm
starving at this point. Yeah, I'm ready to eat a cow.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
It's been over twenty four hours.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
It's been well over twenty four hours because my appointment
got moved from two o'clock to twelve thirty. So I thought, okay,
that's great. But by the time I got in there,
he had so many procedures in front of me it
got pushed back. They didn't get me until after three o'clock.
Oh yeah, yeah, good so and I you know, I
think it's it's really important that you go get checked
(04:57):
out this stuff.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
This is a very point.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
If you're over fifty, yeah, I get checked out. If
you have a family history, it's very important to get
checked that way.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Hold up, I'm not over fifty. What are we talking about.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Here, Phil, Well, you're close.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
Probably a good time too, budd. I say that, but
in three years, I'm not gonna say that.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I'm going no.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
If you have a family history, it's important to get checked.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
And that's why I got I started getting checked when
I was thirty six because my mom had colon cancer.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
So this is this is my fourth.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
So the doctor went in and he gave me the
print out, so I see pictures of my anus.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
So he went in and he showed me circled all
this stuff and so I could see it later.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But he did.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
He was able to remove there were six small polyps.
Oh wow, he said, I'm not really concerned. They're not cancerus.
But we got him out of there. So that's why
it's important to get checked because those could develop into
something later. He took care of that. Now going in,
you know, I'm not a doctor. I don't know what
they do. But when I go back there, I had
the endoscopy too. This lady scoreded me with some numbing
stuff from my throat because I gotta.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Put a tube down there. She said it's gonna taste bad,
and you know, just swallow it numbs your throat. So
I did.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I was like, that's not too bad. Oh gosh, this
is horrible. And then I've freaked out because I couldn't swallow.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
It was numb. I couldn't feel swallowed. I'm like, oh no,
I can't swallow.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Knock me out. Knock me out. So they did, and
then they did the thing. Now, when they do the
the top half, it's like five minutes. The bottom half
it's like seventeen minutes. I don't know how they do
the bottom half I've never seen a colonoscopy, so maybe
you guys can help me out. They make you roll
on your side, right, okay, and then they got to go.
They take the tube in you know in the backside.
Are do they have like a jack they put between
(06:35):
your knees to lift you up to kind of scrub?
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Is there like a pull apart thing?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I bet the nurses.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
I bet that's why they're thinking, the nurses, because they
just like pull your stuff apart.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Like one of them holds you down the other.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I'm knocked out. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
You know what we should do.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
We should call up your nurses that were in that
room and yours day because they seem to know you.
Now we should the specifics of how this goes down,
because okay, so when you went in and before you
actually passed out and went under, you were on your side.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
They made you they made me roll, made you.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Roll onto your side, so you were on your side,
and then you passed out and you have no clue
what's happening.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
None.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I feel like they've got to do something to manipulate you,
you know.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
And like there are blocks like yoga blocks that.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
You use sometimes, so maybe they put that between your
knees to keep it open.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
Do you know when they knocked me out, I was
not on my side. I was on my back, like flat.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Do you think they can while you're They can't do
it while you're on your back, right right?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I mean that's where you've got to turn your side.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I don't know how I got on my side.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
If that's the.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
Case, picture this, Okay, you're I was on my side
because they had a top and bottom. You're on your back,
maybe just maybe Dave. They had one nurse on each
leg and they're pulling back and this is holding your
legs back.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
You hurry, I'm slipping.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm not that flexible.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Okay, you didn't know you are that flexible. You're probably
the next thing like, why are my legs so sore?
This is so weird?
Speaker 4 (08:08):
My hamstring? I pulled a hamstring.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
You've got to get the best angle. I mean, I
don't know. You got to get in there.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
So I would say, yeah, I can totally see them
holding your legs up over your head.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I know.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
I had also heard my entire life that you had
to pass gas before you could leave. Yes, and that
was not a thing for me either, that I never
remember that being said, So I mean maybe I inadvertently.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Just that's what I think. I think one both of.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
You because you didn't have to pass gas either, no
so or at least they didn't say that to you.
I bet you right after the surgery that you both
probably not surgery. I'm sorry, right after the procedure, you
both probably want.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
One rif without knowing it.
Speaker 6 (08:49):
And they were like, oh, yeah, he's good, dis charge
him as soon as he wakes up, get him out
of here.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The doctor said, I was a star pupil.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
So maybe that was after I had passed the gas that.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Oh my god, did you have like a day's too after,
like when you're in the recovery room.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
So Heath had a procedure done, not a colonoscopy, a little.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Snip snap and uh.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
And he went to a doctor in Charleston and the
doctor was.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
A handsome fella, He's told me when he came in.
Speaker 6 (09:25):
So Heath is in the recovery room all jaded, right,
has no clue really what's going on. He was like hey, baby,
was like hi, honey, He's like my doctor is doctor McDreamy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I was like, oh, I'm sorry. What He goes, I'm
telling you.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
And then the guy comes in to give me the
instructions and I was like, oh, hi, nice to meet you.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
He goes McDreamy. See the guy didn't crack miney.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It was so awkward.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, honey, stopped talking.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
And then we get into the car and I do
start filming him because he's trying to put on a
seatbelt and it is like watching a child try to
eat with a spoon.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I don't know, it's terrible, like watch a toddler try
to eat. He was like like, got to hear you. Okay,
It's like I'm good, I'm hungry.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
I was like, okay, let's go get me.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Now.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
The procedure before the not this one, but the one
before that I did. My wife said, you got in
here and you were just ready to go. So you
got up and you started taking your clothes off and
wanted to change clothes, and she said the curtain was opened.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Wait what she said? I had to stop you and
make you.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Get back down and close the curtain because you were
ready to get out of here.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Well naked, Like, where's my car? We need a film
crew to follow us when we go to do these
procedures or whatnot.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I'm gonna have to have my mammogram soon enough. Okay,
so maybe we shouldn't have that thing.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
They don't knock you out that though, right, they don't.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
But I tell you what, that seems like a barbaric procedure.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
They just put your your chest inside two metal plates
and as far.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
As they can do you not think that does more damage.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I feel like that video might give viral.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Never mind a bad idea, A bad idea, folks.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
I will say this, The one thing I was super
nervous about was going to the bathroom after the procedure.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I was nervous that there was not going to be
a comfortable situation.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I did, Okay, it was fine, It was fine.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Obviously they don't give you so like after I had
Leo and I had to have an epidural, they gave
me stool softeners and they said, even if you don't
feel like you should take them, take them.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Take them.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
They said, take them for five days straight. Please take them.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
I was like, I'm going to do what they say, right,
and thankfully it was okay. But obviously that's a stool softener,
y'all didn't have, so you all so yeah, they were
probably like, no, you're gonna be just fine, trust me.
And now you're clear, you know, you're completely wide. It's
a free highway now.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And then you try to go.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I mean you're like, okay, well I ate something, I'm
due to go, right, And then you go and you wait.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
And it's like, wow, there's there's nothing there. It's just gas.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
And then then a couple of days later it finally
catches back up to you and you're flowing again.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Everything's great, become regular.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
When did I have that?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Was there any corning that?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Now?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I'm joking anyhow, how do you mention that? But you
all are good now, you're regular good, Yeah, feeling good.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
So I don't have to have another for like seven years.
Speaker 4 (12:36):
We'll go there, you go. When do you go back?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
It's probably I go see the doctor as a follow
up next month, and it's he said on the sheet,
probably like three to five, okay, because I'm much older
than you guys, so it's it's important to good check.
So I'm going to say five because I've been going
about every six.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Okay, I'm just look at you. Well, that is good
taking care of your heals. Now listen.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
A lot of older people don't do that, now, you know,
my father, my father in law. They act like the
doctor is the dample and they just don't go okay.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
So you all are doing right and keep in check
with yourself.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I like it.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
That's important. It's very important to get checked out.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
Yeah, absolutely, and then you know, pass gas before you leave, right.
I listened real quick. So one of our coworkers here,
I'm not going to mention his name. He said he
had a Colon oscar for years ago, and he said
he was looking forward to the part part where they say,
you know, go ahead and get one fly float an air.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
Business, he said. He said.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
He said that he got back into the recovery room
and he was waiting for that and his wife at
the time had gone down the hallway to get a
cup of coffee, which is probably a good fifty feet
fifty yards away. He said, he let one fly. Oh god,
he said she heard him down in the hall. It
was so loud. That's without sitting on a metal chair
(13:53):
or a wooden chair.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
But he let it. He let it go.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
For him.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
That was the fun part. That's the best part.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Man, that's like fun party, so funny.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I missed out on that.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah I did too. Yeah, well it's a shame.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
But you know, boy o, boy I'll let you know
when I get checked. What the fun part for me is. Okay,
So I do have a question for you, Phil.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
I think I asked Dave about this before he went
and got his procedure. I said to him, buddy, did
you prepare for the procedure?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Meaning did you shave the area?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Prepare the area?
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah? Did you shave in between your cheeks? And so Dave,
I believe, said I didn't.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Do that at all.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Absolutely no, absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
They're going to see what's back there.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
The Phil did you prepare your haryt?
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:50):
My words, you've never done that.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Guys don't know who.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Has Okay, guys don't do that. Guess what women would
like it if you did. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 6 (15:00):
I'm just saying sometimes it gets a little hairy down there, Okay.
So I'm just saying, I bet you these doctors are like,
I love doing female colonoscopies more than men because they
seem to prepare a little harder than men do. And
I tell you what, I will be absolutely hairless all
over if I had a colonoscopy.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I can promise you that right now, buddy, as.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Much as things are now, as far as medical procedures go,
I want them going through the forest like they're walking
through the Amazon, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Look, you gotta earn it.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
I'm not gonna make it easy.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
I'm laying naked on a table.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
My butt, cheeks are spread apart.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
Look did you prepare the area? Did you use a
scrub on your butt? Just so it's just nicer, maybe
at les nicer.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes, I made sure it was clean.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Definitely. Don't take care of their bodies the way women do.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (15:54):
I have scrubbed my butt before to make it look
better before I go to the beach. Okay, I mean
we were about cellulate, so we put creams on all
the time.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
You all, I've got it so easy, I tell you what.
And by the way, did.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
You notice after you left the procedure that anything might
have been shaved for you?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
No, no, that's they didn't do that. They're barbers.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Sometimes they have to shave areas in order to they do.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Usually if you have to cut the.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Skin and they're up in there, they're past all that. Yeah,
you know, they don't care.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
To get through the forest day. They have to get
through it. And what if it's rather bushy.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
That's what I'm saying. If it is, I don't look
down there. I don't stand over the mirror.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
You don't check your body after a shower, like look
at yourself and just to check and see if everything's
where it should.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I'm in my fifties. I can't bend that way.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
And you think stuff moves around after a shower, Well.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I think stuff moves around as the older you get.
I think things move and you got to figure out
always that a new thing? Or is that a problem?
Should I get yourself?
Speaker 5 (17:05):
If my anus has moved, I've got more problems than
I need to talk about.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Right, it's going to be in the same spot, you.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
What is happening?
Speaker 4 (17:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
I didn't have never heard of somebody shaving their you know,
getting up in there.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah okay, Well then a girl's never talked to you
about their daily routine.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I can't wait to ask, have you gotten up in there?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
You do shave your butthole?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
You have got to clear yourself out taking a pole.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Let's take a let's.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Shut up. I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Cleaning is one thing. I get that.
Speaker 5 (17:52):
Okay, if you got the like the toilet scrubber thing
and you know, reach the backside or whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
