Deadliest Diseases That Could End You!

Ryan and guest Zip from the "No Redeeming Qualities" podcast delve into a discussion about the top 10 deadliest diseases globally, using 2015 World Health Organization data, while weaving in timely reflections on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Recorded amidst a small-town Texas outbreak and Canadian quarantine, the conversation blends grim statistics on diseases like heart disease (8.8 million deaths), stroke (6.2 million), and Alzheimer’s (1.5 million) with personal anecdotes, such as Zip’s uncle’s alcoholism-related cirrhosis and Ryan’s step-grandmother’s dementia-induced panic. They tackle heavy topics like racism in Texas, blaming a non-white doctor for a local outbreak, and healthcare disparities, while maintaining a darkly humorous tone, debating which disease—Alzheimer’s or stroke—they’d least want to endure, and urging listeners to stay home to ease hospital burdens.

:00
beautiful brother you're going have to give me a second I have the hiccups of all things of all things to have right
0:06
now that shouldn't affect the podcast at all I don't know what it is I keep having these flu like symptoms oh jeez
0:13
cing I can't even joke you can't even joke about that out here right now everybody's real spooked yeah I live in
0:19
a town of about 1500 and then up the road there's a town of about 10,000 that has a hospital doctor in the hospital
0:25
has it oh boy and then unfortunately he's from like turkey and so he's not
0:31
white so and I don't know how things are up there but as silly as that sounds I'm telling you if this doctor was white
0:38
that's the worst part is he has like a private practice oh no and he was just working in the hospital and they were
0:44
saying that like he knew he had the flu and he was telling people he felt sick but he kept coming to work as crazy as
0:51
it sounds if that was a white doctor no one would accuse him of that oh no not a
0:56
single person so me and my husband were talking about that and we were like man if we're gonna have an outbreak we're
1:01
too close to Houston Too Close we're gonna have an outbreak I'm sorry literally Houston has this huge Road I
1:09
10 that connects us straight to New Orleans New Orleans is having a giant outbreak and then we have Highway 45
1:15
which connects us to Dallas which is having the other outbreak near us I it's just a matter of time this might be your
1:21
last recording have you ever read the stand yes or twice okay yeah I love the
1:27
stand like I wouldn't recommend it if you're scared about the pandemic right now but I always think about how that
1:33
killed people our age this one's not looking like it does so I'm not that worried but if I was an old person I
1:40
certainly would be well this is great this is a great pre-show amble I'm going to keep a lot of this because I think it ties into our topic today I just want to
1:47
say for the record you're from Texas is that right yes yeah are you trying to tell me Texas still has a problem with
1:52
non-white people as as shocking as that might sound it's this bizarre phenomenon and I
2:00
know you're up in Montreal or near you're in the French part right now that's right the the French province of Quebec near and 45 minutes south of
2:06
Montreal yeah what I find fascinating about the racism in Texas is that Texas used to be Mexico like I remind people
2:13
of that all the time Texas was originally a Mexican state that became its own country and then joined the
2:19
United States and they're just like I'm tired of all these Mexicans I'm like they've been here before you not even
2:25
Native Americans literally Mexicans colonized it and then white people colon did better and took it over and they're
2:32
just like all these Mexicans and I'm like you love the music you eat the food you hire them to cut your grass as long
2:38
as they speak English you don't seem to care it's the weirdest thing in Houston there's a huge Vietnamese population so
2:45
there's certain parts of town where they put like Vietnamese street signs up and white people lose their mind over that and I'm just why does it matter to you
2:52
like why do you care that there's another street sign under the one that says Fifth Street that says it at
2:58
Vietnamese I I don't know I'm worried because I was looking into the Spanish
3:03
Flu how come I've never heard very much about it if it killed millions and millions of Americans I was like I
3:10
there's no Memorial Day for those people there's no remembrance there's nothing and I looked into it and the reason is
3:17
is that everybody acted so embarrassingly during it blaming their
3:23
neighbors and blaming their The Village next to theirs that when it was over nobody wanted to really talk about it anymore they just wanted to move on
3:30
and then what am I seeing in my town I'm seeing people go on literally on Facebook and post pictures of our
3:35
patient zero pictures of him with his name and his business address saying let's ruin him let's not ever go and I'm
3:42
thinking like this it's just started you know well the good news is if you go to his office there's no
3:49
lineup I thought poor guy he's GNA have to move if there's something these old white people do it's never forget
3:55
something a brown person did to them you know ever and I so like up there in in
4:01
Quebec how much animosity is there between like English speakers and French speakers up there well I have a few
4:06
listeners from Canada and a couple even from Quebec so I'll tread lightly it's
4:12
like this so just like we're experiencing a tech off the mic you've you've exper you've referred to them as
4:17
non-humans French French speaking nonhumans that's right these non-
4:23
entities it's like everywhere I think anytime any culture or any race of
4:28
people I mean from any anywhere in the world deals with something that's not their own people have a weird way of acting I think that's just the end of
4:34
the day it's racism is just people don't know how to function I'm not that way personally I don't I really don't care I
4:41
mean it's too exhausting for me to be different it's a great word to explain it exhausting to think oh he's brown
4:47
he's black he's gay he's straight he's my end of the day are you an [ __ ] or not that's all I care
4:53
about welcome to the worst of the best podcast you wanted the the best well
5:01
they didn't freaking make it so here's what you get from Canada and Texas Ryan

5:26
zip welcome to the worst of the best podcast I am your host and with me today we have a returning guest host zip from
5:34
the no redeeming qualities podcast how you doing zip I am doing good I got a
5:39
bit of a chest cold and some flu like symptoms and a dry in a real dry cough and not a very runny nose but other than
5:46
that I think I'm good and you have a fever too so you should be fine yeah I've got a fever yeah you were on the
5:51
Arnold Schwarzenegger episode I believe mhm you've also guessed on the rocky
5:56
series podcast that I do as well I think at least once if not twice I believe I've only done it for Rambo 5
6:03
we still haven't done Rocky we not gotten yeah we have not gotten around a to Rocky no we're we're talking about
6:09
some diseases here today yes uh we just picked this topic randomly that's right
6:14
yeah with any doesn't tie in with any any current events going on yeah I had this topic in mind about two years ago
6:22
it just so happens we're in the middle of a pandemic yeah so yeah things are crazy right now in the world I thought
6:28
to myself because of the co 19 virus I wonder what other stop it right there
6:34
yeah please I'm an American so we call it China virus oh so I need you to
6:39
respect my culture okay my apologies I'm sorry no that's the humor we that's the
6:45
reason why you're on the show zip you bring the humor I love it I should say we'll plug your show of course a million times no redeeming qualities podcast is
6:52
a favorite of mine I've listened to every episode from the beginning that is a true story I love their stick zip and
6:58
Bob are funny they're a little bit crass at times which is fine you guys have calmed down a little bit you're a little
7:03
bit more user friendly than you were in the early days and we're also just getting older I think you just get a
7:09
little you're a little bit more Howard Stern 2020 than Howard Stern 1998 I that
7:14
means a lot there you go we've taken this list of 10 diseases in the world
7:20
that affect the world every year and this is actually from the World Health Organization so that's a pretty reputable Source would you say oh yeah
7:27
yeah yeah okay so we're going to start at the bottom this is the top 10 diseases a lot of these diseases I've heard before but I
7:34
was I guess I was shocked or maybe not shocked about how many people die every
7:40
year because of these diseases everybody always thinks of like the black plague and they think of these like sexy
7:47
Stephen King nightmare kind of diseases but usually it's your basic very
7:52
straightforward diseases that are the ones that really get the high up their numbers yeah so we're going to give these diseases the respect they deserve
8:00
so when people think of the deadly diseases in the world they are probably
8:05
right now jumping to the covid-19 that's what their brain is going to because it's in the headlines did you know that 56 and A5 million people died just in
8:12
2015 from these 10 diseases that we're going to talk about that's a huge number it's a lot of people it's the same thing
8:18
where they're talking about just about like India is going on shelter in place and that's a billion people it it's just
8:24
it's hard to even wrap your mind around a billion people having to do something like that but these are definitely some
8:30
Heavy Hitters as far as diseases go the statistics that we're using are from 20
8:36
well 2,000 to 2015 so there's we're going to talk about numbers of increase decrease you know how how are these
8:42
diseases doing today so it's a couple years old but obviously the numbers are still just as valid today as they were a
8:47
few years ago all right so we'll start with number 10 therosis of the liver sosis is the result of chronic and
8:55
long-term scarring and damage to the liver the damage may be the result of a kidney disease or it can be caused by
9:01
conditions like hepatitis and chronic alcoholism so normally a healthy liver filters harmful substances from your
9:08
blood and sends healthy blood into your body as the substances damage the liver scar tissue forms as more scar tissue
9:15
forms the liver has to work harder to function properly ultimately the liver may stop working for the most part if
9:21
you get therosis to the liver you're a Booz Hound that's that's I always feel like that's a courtesy thing they're
9:26
like it can also be a kidney thing it's you're usually alcoholics that's usually yeah so the
9:33
risk factors like I said chronic alcohol use fat buildup around the liver and
9:38
then hepatitis A real fun weekend stay away from behaviors that can lead to liver damage to help prevent therosis
9:44
long-term alcohol use and abuse is the leading cause of therosis so avoiding alcohol can help you prevent damage
9:51
likewise you can avoid non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by eating a diet that's healthy rich in fruits and
9:56
vegetables and low in sugar and fat and lastly you can reduce your likelihood of contracting hepatitis by using
10:02
protection during sex and avoiding sharing anything that can have traces of blood like needles razors or
10:08
toothbrushes if you get therosis with the liver you kind of went out of your way to get it I was just going to say like it
10:16
doesn't seem like I just I woke up with therosis one day it's like never really shocked how many people get told you
10:22
have therosis in the liver and like deep down truly feel like they don't understand what caused it of the 10 I
10:29
think this one might be the most preventable yeah that's that's a very
10:35
true point it's ironic too cuz I think liver transplants are actually pretty easy because they could just cut part of
10:41
somebody else's liver out and put it in you but they won't do it if you're an alcoholic I think most people that's why
10:47
they just don't get a liver transplant are you an alcohol Drinker I drink socially so no because I have no friends
10:55
and I never go out no Now's the Time to pick up an alcohol problem yeah there's
11:00
nothing better to do and you're probably going to die anyway that's true go out go out drinking uh you should make note
11:06
here of how many deaths a year approximately this oh yeah yeah 1.2 million deaths in
11:12
2015 right and I'm assuming that's that's worldwide correct yes it's two yeah 2
11:19
2.1% deaths worldwide are caused just from drinking that's crazy I mean that's
11:25
absolutely do you have any alcoholism in your family no actually alcoholism runs
11:31
on the dad's side of my family like really bad and so people have to really keep an eye on it but I had an uncle who
11:37
was just a full-blown alcoholic but he was a really fun alcoholic like goofy
11:42
silly right and so like we would go stay at his house and he would make us ice cream and then he would put whiskey in
11:50
his Vanilla Ice Cream Bowl we put sirup on ours and he would put whiskey and we would laugh and we thought that was so
11:56
silly not knowing how s of a pro I he's he's long dead now sorosis yeah yeah
12:03
sorosis and then actually he was in this very interesting situation where he also smoked half a carton of cigarettes a day
12:10
so he had therosis and lung cancer pretty much at the same time but the therosis is what did him in
12:16
so but yeah that's uh yeah been dead for 20 years and it's not a secret that he
12:23
was an alcoholic like everybody knew that he was an alcoholic he went out doing what he loved and that is what's
12:29
sad about therosis is it's one of those diseases that could be caused by a lifestyle problem and the doctors will
12:36
sometimes just tell them to not even bother to quit drinking right they'll just say you're 67 with like severe
12:42
therosis of the liver you're dead in like 5 Years anyway so you might as well just keep drinking yeah it's really sad
12:48
actually it's well number nine I'm surprised this is still an issue this is
12:53
to I practice this word I'm having a hard time to broke TB tuberculosis this
13:00
might be this might be the first time somebody else has a hard time saying a word TUC tuberculosis tuberculosis there
13:07
I got it consumption oh my goodness yeah consumption that's right yeah back in the old days in Texas that's right Doc
13:14
Holiday had this didn't he a lot of people have caught it I don't know why they called it consumption cuz I think
13:19
you you withered away maybe maybe well it's a lung condition caused by bacteria
13:24
called MCO bacterium Tu yeah tuulos
13:29
okay TB I hate this word I hate it why did I choose this
13:35
one yet sounds like you have it oh he's dying it's a treatable Airborne
13:42
bacterium although some strains are resistant to Conventional treatments and TB is one of the top causes of death in
13:47
people who have HIV about 35% of HIV related deaths are TBR related okay I
13:53
didn't know that part this is one of these ones where Medical Health Care Systems are obviously a huge help or
14:01
factor in preventing deaths so I would say that people who die from TB which is 1.3 million deaths a year are probably
14:08
people that don't have access to medication and treatment for a long time tuberculosis was a huge problem in
14:14
Russian prisons to where a huge chunk of the people who caught it it was like a
14:20
Russian prison problem and I see that the article says that it's Fallen 1.5%
14:25
since 2000 with a possible goal of it being eradicated by 2030 I've never even
14:30
heard of tuberculosis being eradicated I'm an instructor at the recruit School here in Canada everyone gets tested for
14:36
TB still but it's very rare that I don't hear of anyone having it but everyone still tested for it do they prick a little blood on their forearm yeah the
14:43
risk factors are of course diabetes HIV infection a lower body weight proximity
14:50
to others with TV because it's infectious it's airborne and regular use of certain medications like
14:56
corticosteroids or drugs that suppress the immune system so the best prevention then against TB is to get the BCG
15:02
vaccine goes without saying and this is commonly given to children so if you think you've been Expos to TB bacteria
15:08
you can start taking treatment medication called oh my gosh why do I have all these terrible words you got
15:14
screwed on that man hemo Proaxis oh man you're good to reduce the likelihood of developing the condition so this one's a
15:20
little bit more preventable vaccination medicine and of course if you don't have these things unfortunately it's still
15:26
killed in 2015 1.3 million people it's it's a lot harder to hold tuberculosis against somebody than
15:32
therosis to the LI or than therosis to the liver you know you can't really blame them for catching
15:38
tuberculosis no that's true that's very true but yeah tuberculosis is also one of those diseases that you're scared of
15:44
but I don't really think I even know what it does truly like what part of it kills you I just know that what we said
15:51
it affects your lungs and stuff probably breathing probably suff yeah just probably just the usual lungs quit
15:57
working we should say for our listening audience who maybe just jumped on this episode just because of you how it works here on
16:03
the worst of the best these are the best diseases that kill people if that makes sense these are the one these are the diseases that are the best at being
16:10
diseases there you go thank you well said what we're going to do and I don't know your pick and you don't know mine
16:16
and I'm still making my decision as we go through the list which is often the case with the show which one is it that you would least likely want to die by
16:25
okay well speaking of what I don't want to die by number eight dehydration due to diarrhea MH
16:34
this is a real issue one kills 1.4 million people in the American Civil War
16:39
dentary killed one out of every five soldiers wow you had a better chance of [ __ ] yourself to death in a ditch
16:46
than you did getting hit by like a cannonball diarrhea would you pass three or more loose stools at a day if your
16:51
diarrhea last more I feel like I should really have to explain what diarrhea is but if diarrhea lasts for than a few days your body loses too much water and
16:57
salt which will cause dehydration which will cause death diarrhea is usually caused by an intestinal virus or
17:04
bacteria transmitted through contaminated water or food it's particularly widespread in developing
17:09
nations with poor sanitary conditions diarrhea diseases second top cause of
17:15
death in children younger than 5 years old breaks my heart I hate about 760,000 children die from diarrhea each
17:22
year that's crazy isn't that that's that's think about that yeah that's a mountain of children of bodies of
17:28
children it just blows my mind I can see how it happens in like a war situation
17:33
cuz there's a lot going on but I just think about what a nightmare it has to be if you have a singular baby and the
17:40
baby is has such bad diarrhea that you literally cannot keep enough fluid in it
17:46
it's crazy it dies a dehydration you know cuz if you've ever had a really bad hangover and you get like a Pedialyte
17:51
diarrhea is what Pedialyte was created for to essentially pump babies as full of many electrolytes as you can so some
17:59
risk factors for diarrhea include uh living in an area with poor sanitary
18:04
conditions no access to clean water your age with children being the most likely to have severe symptoms being
18:11
malnourished and having a weakened immune system so either living in Africa or Detroit yeah I eating a Taco Bell too
18:20
much will also Del taco is Del okay is there Taco Bell up in Canada I think yes
18:25
yeah but quick Del Taco story so my family and I we went to California Disneyland in 2010 might have been when
18:31
we went it was our first night in California we just got off the plane went to our little hotel we couldn't believe it 99 Cents tacos we thought
18:38
that was fantastic that's what impresses the Canadian tourist family you're in
18:44
beautiful Southern California and you're blown away that to Taco is 99 Cents so
18:50
you know be on a you know be on a budget as a young family at the time you know we're like let's fill up with some Dell
18:57
Taco oh my I I will just say thankfully The Diary episodes did pass before we
19:03
entered the park the next day that is a great that Canadian family just was like we're going to go to California the
19:09
first thing you do is eat a bunch of cheap tacos and get diarrhea that is the American story you do this American life
19:16
and let them break that whole experience down oh man our body I don't think I've ever seen a Del Taco commercial so every
19:22
time we see or here of Del Taco we think of our diarrhea I I think there's Del Tacos out here but out here in Texas
19:28
Taco Bell well as your right if you're looking for cheap tacos that your place Bob actually my co-host has a thing
19:34
where he always says that about people whenever they make a joke about getting diarrhea from Taco Bell he's like look
19:39
if if you're getting diarrhea every time you eat a Taco Bell you either need to quit eating a Taco Bell or you have a
19:46
like a GI problem you know like that's good I like it all right so number seven
19:51
we're getting to uh some not so fun things this one's not very funny but it is kind of funny but it's not right well
19:58
Al disease kills 1 and a half million people a year approximately this is a number seven on our list when you think
20:04
of Alzheimer's disease or dementia you might think of loss of memory but you might not think of loss of life
20:11
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease that destroys memory and interrupts normal mental functions and
20:16
these include thinking reasoning and typical Behavior so basically they turn into 5-year-old kids if you've ever had
20:24
I don't want to say deal with cuz deal with is a little rude well no family member close one yeah if you've ever had
20:29
to take care of somebody with Alzheimer's or dementia it's frustrating it's difficult it's hard on them it's
20:35
hard on the people who take care of you it's all around a real crap time Alzheimer's disease is the most common
20:41
type of dementia so 60 to 8% of dementia cases are in fact Alzheimer's if that
20:46
makes sense so all times that you have Alzheimer's you have dementia yes but
20:53
you can have dementia from something that's not Alzheimer's disease that's right are you not pronouncing the Z I
20:59
might not be Alzheimer's it's Al it's Alzheimer's I as a kid thought it was
21:05
called Alzheimer's dis that's what a lot of people call what a rude thing to call a memory loss the disease starts off by
21:12
causing mild memory problems difficulty recalling information and slips in recollection then Over time however the
21:18
disease progresses and you may not have memory of large periods of time 2014 study found that the number of deaths in
21:24
the US due to alzheimer's may be higher than reported now that I think about it man it would have been about 10 years
21:30
ago I was a young man I was an adult and my dad had just gotten married my stepmom his wife moved into his house
21:37
well her mother moved in too it was like my step-grandmother right and I had met
21:42
my stepmom a million times I never met her mother time goes by I go over to my dad's house and I have a key so I just
21:50
open the door and let myself in right not going to sit there and knock at my dad's house well I don't know my dad's
21:56
out back working on something and his mother-in-law my step-grandmother is in the living room and I just open that
22:02
door and I walk in and I put my hand up hello and she looks at me and she has these big saucer plate eyes and she's
22:09
just I can see she's in like absolute crisis panic mode and she's like frozen
22:14
staring at me and I'm looking at her like hey and she
22:20
just starts screaming and just runs out called my dad and was just saying home
22:26
Invader there's a home Invader there's a home invader my dad didn't tell me that she had severe dementia oh no did you
22:33
not think that was something I would need to know because I walked right into your house and so she didn't remember me
22:39
so she thought I was just a guy breaking into her house and that's kind of my dad and a nutsh all is like you didn't think
22:45
that was important you didn't think the memory loss was something that people need to know when they talk to somebody
22:52
I was going to say rest in peace to my father he got bit by a spider and he's dying now so what my dad claims he got
22:58
by a spider on his porch yesterday and now he's being really dramatic about it when he's texting
23:04
me and I'm just making fun of him that's awesome I grew up I was like super scared of my dad he was like one of
23:10
those kind of guys and then he's such a wiener when he gets sick that's the the funniest thing that you learn when
23:16
you're an adult yeah yeah yeah yeah just a complete weener I have adult children right now when I raised them I was a
23:22
weener right away so they're not surprised when they become adults well here's some the the risk of Alzheimer's being older than 65
23:28
a family history of the disease thus you're inheriting the genes for the disease from your parents existing mild
23:34
cognitive impairment Down syndrome unhealthy lifestyle being female being
23:41
shut off from a community or having poor engagement with other people for extended periods of time it's like if
23:47
you've ever visited an old folks home if you wonder why they go so out of their way to have them playing Bingo and doing
23:54
all that stuff that's why because it's been proven if they just sit in their room and watch Fox News all day they'll
24:01
develop alimer that's crazy that's interesting you ever watch uh Dumb and Dumber yeah yeah yeah the Jim Carrey
24:08
character talks about that older lady do you remember what he said I don't what did he
24:14
say uh you have change of a dollar change no I'm sorry I don't oh well uh
24:22
could you do me a favor and watch my stuff here while I go break a dollar of course thanks
24:29
hey I guess they're right senior citizens although slow and dangerous behind the wheel can still serve a
24:37
purpose I'll be right back don't you go dying on
24:44
me I love that it makes me think of old school they're doing the funeral for the
24:50
old man and I think it's either Vince vongh or wolf frell says that he's like look please don't beat yourself up over
24:56
this thing match it's not your fault damn it blue is old that's what old people do they
25:03
die s it zooms out and there's like a bunch of old people around the leading cause of death
25:10
amongst old people is death yeah yeah there's no current way to prevent Alzheimer's but one thing that
25:16
may be helpful in reducing your risk of the disease is a diet that's high in fruits and vegetables low and saturated
25:22
fats I have found that when you're on a healthy diet whatever the diet call it South Beach keto I don't care low sugar
25:28
low carbs and low processed food would be your key fresh food low sugar it
25:34
prevents so much it's crazy from cancer to everything they've proven that sugar sugar sugar refined sugar processed
25:40
sugar is not the best thing for your body Nei there's alcohol or smoking go figure that's true we're not health
25:47
professionals we just want to make that clear healthy diet seems to be a lot of the prevention for a lot of these put
25:52
this way it doesn't hurt yeah it doesn't seem like it ever is going to put you at risk to eat some vegetables every yeah
25:59
can you imagine the that one cause of cancer is vegetables that's right right now there's the Panic buying going on
26:06
thankfully we live in a in a rural area so our grocery stores haven't been quite picked clean but I go down there when
26:12
the Panic started and like all the meat was gone yeah that's weird even if you have a big freezer why is this your
26:18
priority you get some non- perishables I just noticed that Al heimer's kills 1.5 million people a year did we say that
26:25
that's a lot I didn't know it was that many yeah all right number six diabetes this one's probably in my
26:30
future diabetes is a group of diseases that affect insulin production and use and type 1 diabetes the pancreas can't
26:37
produce insulin the cause of that is unknown and in type two diabetes the
26:42
pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or that insulin just cannot be used effectively type 2 diabetes can be
26:48
caused by a number of different factors including poor diet lack of exercise and being overweight people in low to Middle
26:55
inome countries are more likely to die from complications of diabetes IES risk factors in prevention excess body weight
27:01
high blood pressure older age not exercising and an unhealthy diet while
27:07
diabetes isn't always preventable you can control the severity of symptoms by exercising regularly and maintaining
27:14
good nutrition also add adding more fiber to your diet can help with controlling your blood sugar so diabetes
27:19
is a pretty popular one everybody probably knows at least somebody I would imagine everybody at least knows
27:25
somebody who has type one and type two M kills one .6 million a year type one
27:30
you're born with you can't really get rid of it but type two you develop and you can actually get rid of it yes yeah
27:37
if you just change your diet good enough diabetes is a nightmare for a country like mine us has a problem with diabetes
27:45
because you're getting hit kind of on all sides so you get hit on the initial of that we are just a kind of fat people
27:52
we are just a large people that like to eat and drink that puts you at risk of diabetes it's further Complicated by our
28:00
absolute DieHard refusal to do anything with universal healthc care you know I
28:05
live in the rule south of the United States so there's a lot of people out here who definitely are not on board
28:11
with universal healthcare they're scared it's going to cost a lot when a guy catches diabetes when you think about
28:17
how much it would cost to sit him down and tell him what diabetes is because that's the craziest thing like I've met
28:23
people out here don't understand what it is they don't even know why they have it
28:29
if you would just spend that money and get them healthy it's a lot cheaper than
28:34
letting his foot literally start to rot off and then now the taxpayer has to pay for his amputation and his prosthetic
28:41
and his medicine and so that's why place like the United States we get decimated by a thing like diabetes because we
28:48
don't have access to health care and we're uninformed and it's not always a we thing also true it doesn't help but
28:54
five six years ago I was doing blood work in the military and they hate to spout off the keto diet
29:00
ladies and gentlemen but I'm just telling you what worked for Ryan that's all I'm doing here so I was doing blood work and the doctor said to me oh I
29:05
forget what the numbers were but he said oh you're in danger there Ryan of close to getting type 2 diabetes and I looked
29:10
at myself and I looked at him said I'm going to get di look at me I'm not obese
29:16
and he said well it's it's not always just a matter of just being quite you know having extra pounds on you but
29:21
you're your blood sugar and your high blood pressure it's it's causing all the right things that your your body is
29:27
prone to people can just be prone to it so I started the keto diet and got blood
29:32
work and after 6 months all signs and symptoms of every blood work came back amazing and it's just a diet change the
29:38
danger of getting type 2 diabetes is now gone if I keep up the quotee unquote healthy eating you know no sugar go
29:45
figure not Ruben but my brother Jason who's been on the show a couple times he has type one he was born with it and
29:52
thankfully with medication it's you know he's with us today which is wonderful at 14 he got diagnosed with he's lived with
29:58
that for 30 years you can always tell when a fat person's amputation was
30:04
diabetes related you could always tell because it's one of the odds that you're morbidly obese and you got attacked by a
30:12
shark you know like like what is more likely here yeah the 300 lb Surfer
30:22
or it is scary like this is a disease that I am absolutely 100% the risk
30:28
factor for it I well no you're a very handsome man don't you don't you worry about it oh no I mean I'm overweight I'm
30:34
not I'm not going to like deny that yeah so this is one where I'm actually looking at like kind of myself and I'm
30:39
like I'm 30 I might need to start turning the ship around so I can not be dead by the time I'm 50 I know you can
30:45
do it I know you've talked to me offline about keto so I'd recommend it that's the thing I'm more than capable of
30:50
losing the weight I know exactly what I need to do like I I just can't get myself to do it that's cocaine you see
30:58
yeah that's that won't work either okay all right I mean it will I just don't want to I can't
31:03
afford a Coke is this still expensive cocaine I don't even know is it expensive in the 80s it seemed to be the
31:09
thing but I don't know if it I wonder if it's still running the price actually don't I don't do enough cocaine to give
31:15
you an accurate answer to that well get back to me on that let me know yeah I'm sure the Navy would love to hear you oh
31:20
right I that's right I I think I have some military listeners okay I was just joking guys I do love I do love people I
31:27
knew knew when I was in the military I knew guys who would pop hot on uh cocaine and I'm like I get weed cuz
31:34
weed's in your system for a bit but I'm like cocaine is in your system for like two to three days yeah we don't do
31:41
random blood checks here though or PE checks I mean we don't do oh really oh my God they do it constantly in the
31:49
United States if you take any leave it's an automatic drug test when you come back they just don't trust you guys yeah
31:55
it doesn't matter if you take a two-day leave or a 30-day leave you come back you automatically get I've been in for
32:00
17 years in the military we do do blood work and what have you and you do give urine samples but it's always you're
32:07
there for a reason it's voluntary or whatever might be it's or for like a deployment we do a screening for
32:13
deployments like yeah you know do your blood but it's for medical reasons to make sure you're healthy but it's never random a never random urine check ever
32:20
and I don't know about the other branches but the Marine Corps you would probably be embarrassed at how much time money and effort the Marine Corps spends
32:26
constantly drug testing everybody and always do it in the most inefficient way so my favorite is they make everybody in
32:34
like the whole company get in one long line to go into the bathroom because they you have to have a pecker Checker like looking at your penis Y and they
32:42
don't break it up they make everybody drink a bunch of water and then get in a 200 person line and then somebody at the
32:48
end's like I'm about to piss in my pants right now and they're like well you're at the end of the line eventually they
32:54
either piss in their pants or they just say I can't do this I have to go pee and they go pee and then they have to go sit
33:00
and drink more water to get at the end of the line oh man just to pee again and
33:05
then so it's this thing that takes nine hours to get everybody through and it's just the most inefficient system anyway
33:12
but anyway we're talking about diabetes so that's uh so yeah just take care of
33:17
your pancreas and your pancreas will take care of you unless it's uh you're boring with it which they don't know why
33:23
but that just happens okay number five trania bronchus and lung cancers so
33:29
respiratory cancers including cancers of the trania larynx and bronchus and lungs the main causes are smoking secondhand
33:36
smoke and environmental toxins but household pollutions such as fuels and mold also
33:41
contribute so 2015 study reports that respiratory cancer counts for about 4
33:46
million deaths annually in developing countries researchers project an 811 to
33:52
100% increase in respiratory cancers due to pollution and smoking many Asian
33:57
countries especially India still use coal for cooking oh man clean burning coal oh man
34:05
solid fuel emissions account for 177% of lung cancer deaths in men and 22% in
34:10
women 1.7 million deaths in 2015 3% of the deaths worldwide and it's actually
34:15
on the increase I guess as cities get bigger and yeah pollution urbanization
34:21
and and all that and risk factors of prevention are don't smoke don't live in
34:26
these areas that blow blow smoke in your face other risk factors for these cancers include family history and exposure to environmental factors such
34:33
as diesel fumes so aside from avoiding fumes and tobacco products it isn't known if there's anything else that can
34:39
be done to prevent Lung cancers however early detection can improve your outlook and reduce the symptoms of respiratory
34:45
cancer I think with lung cancer though I I'm sure the Lion Share is going to be either cigarette smoking related or you
34:54
worked in a coal mine and if you do both boy or both yeah you a cigarette smoker
34:59
me do you ask if I am as I start coughing sorry okay yeah I was going to say do you smoke cigarettes no no no no
35:05
not your bag my mom when she died we had gotten so wrapped up in all her constant
35:10
lying about well lying is a little harsh but she was like in such denial that she was sick that she didn't want anyone
35:16
know to know anything right and that so when she died the only people who even knew something was wrong were one of her
35:25
siblings her mother her boyfriend and two children one of her sisters one of her brothers literally every other
35:31
person I was in charge of Mom's estate mom kept thinking she's like I'm going to check out of the hospital next week
35:37
and we're like you're not checking out of the hospital anytime soon and she's well I'm supposed to have lunch with Susie on Tuesday and then so mom dies
35:43
and I have to just pick up the phone and be like oh hey Susie uh yeah I see in the calendar you're supposed to have
35:48
lunch with Mom on Tuesday I don't think that's gonna happen you know wait wait what and it's yeah she's dead and it's
35:54
just I talked to her last week and it's well she's dead now I don't know what to tell you some people are just so
36:00
secretive about all their medical stuff and I'm like I'm kind of an open book I don't really care I think it's our generation too like I rather people just
36:06
know what it is I'm dealing with whatever so when if and when something happens to me it's like oh yeah well we knew and we're sorry but we knew there's
36:13
it should be a shock it's a mixture of I'm just an open book and also I talk all the time so it doesn't really matter
36:20
about what it is right your lung cancer well actually it's not even lung
36:25
it also is trachea right trachea throw long yeah that's that's what cigar
36:31
smoking gets you yeah and chewing oh God I dipped for a long time
36:37
and I look back on that and I don't know how I did it is such a gross habit it is I'm sure that's prominent in the Navy
36:43
though yeah a lot of people do and I hate seeing it number four chronic obstructive pulmonary disease this kills
36:51
3.1 million people a year worldwide and what it is is it's a long-term Progressive lung disease that makes
36:57
breathing difficult chronic bronchitis and osma are types of COPD in 2004 about
37:05
64 million people around the world were living with it it's probably the same number today approximately this one
37:10
probably hasn't changed very much yeah so risk factors include smoking or secondhand smoke lung irritant like
37:16
chemical Flames family history or having a history of respiratory infections as a
37:22
child there is no cure for it but its progression can be slowed down with medication the best way to prevent COPD
37:29
or to stop smoking and to avoid secondhand smoke and other irritants people always kind of bunch in empyema
37:34
with lung cancer cuz they're both kind of the end result of of cigarette smoking right but I think the difference
37:40
is that like cancer is a thing that grows inside of your lungs whereas this
37:45
is kind of damaged just to the lungs themselves yeah kind of longterm the
37:51
actual lungs themselves are starting to fall apart on you inisa when I was a little kid our neighbor was a chain
37:58
smoker and he had empyema and had the oxygen tank and everything right that stuff scared the hell out of me you know
38:05
and then I went on to smoke myself but still oh you're a smoker didn't not anymore I quit smoking cigarettes about
38:11
four or five years ago and then I picked it back up last year but only for a
38:16
couple months CU I was trying to quit something else so I kind of leap frogged from one bad habit back to another right
38:22
but yeah I haven't been a regular cigarette smoker in a long time and then I quit dip about 2 or three years ago
38:28
good now we just got to get the get you off that soda pop hey you see the yeah the sugar is uh actually the soda is not
38:35
the the biggest problem diets definitely what do you drink soda like fully loaded
38:41
soda I usually prefer Diet Coke which you know it's no substitute for water but yeah stay hydrated with Diet Coke I
38:49
I don't want to say that like it's healthy to drink diet coke when we like to have a treat like if at a restaurant or whatever di Coke is totally allowed
38:55
there is no sugar but yeah there's other quot quote chemicals you're not living off of it of course yeah no no let's go
39:01
to number three lower respiratory infections so a lot of lung issues which
39:06
shouldn't be surprising three four and five on this list all involve your lungs
39:11
yeah and this is obviously made before Corona virus so something to keep in mind is that if you're somebody who
39:18
catches Corona virus and you have to go to the hospital the people who are catching and suffering from diseases 3
39:24
four and five still exist still need that equipment and they still need that respirator in the in the hospital bed so
39:32
that's why they're so desperate to get people to stay home is you still have to treat all these other lung people and
39:38
then just to be graphic no go ahead in the United States we have the ventilator shortage which I I'm sure that's a very
39:45
common thing in every country yeah what people have to understand about those ventilators is that if you're in a
39:50
situation where you're going oh my God Ryan we're losing Ryan he needs a ventilator that window is this big to go
39:57
from he needs a ventilator to get him hooked up to a ventilator essentially hold your breath how long can you just
40:04
hold your breath for so when they say these people need the ventilators they can't wait you're going do we have it we
40:10
don't well this person's dying move on to the next person I know so stay home
40:15
please this message brought to you by the Coalition of the worst of the best podcast and the nor redeeming qualities
40:21
podcast it's well it's especially difficult in America cuz I know economically your culture is very
40:26
different from Mars I understand there are some people who are literally faced with I'm either going to lose my house and my job or I can stay home right and
40:34
I'm thankfully not in that situation so but I do understand that there are people who have to pick I know between
40:40
their job and stopping a global pandemics but yeah please for the love of God if you can stay home stay home
40:46
anyway I'm sorry number three lower respiratory infections actually a very good point like you're saying these numbers don't change because covid-19 is
40:53
now in the world and because of that if these millions of quite frankly millions of people who have or currently have
40:59
these diseases also get the flu that's probably a lot of people who are dying that's the weaken immune system that their lungs are already weak and now
41:05
you've just kind of thrown this fuel to the fire of your body not to scare people but hospitals are literally doing
41:12
triage yes places like New York City and triage might sound like this horrible
41:18
cruel thing but you got to put yourself in the doctor's perspective and that's literally what they're going to do is
41:23
your grandparent could be mixed amongst 10 other old people who are dying and that nurse literally is taking a pen and
41:29
just marking yes this one's going to live this one's going to die this one's going to live when you have a multiple casualty situation triage for those who
41:37
maybe don't quite know what it means it's just you're going through who can I save and I've got a certain amount of
41:42
time and a certain amount of people who is it that if I spend time on this person they're going to live if I spend
41:48
time on this person three other people might die you have to say who's the least amount of people that are going to
41:54
die with the amount of time that I have with the equipment that I have you and I and a third person got brought in and
42:00
your neck has been slid open and you've got like a drop of blood left in your body and I have a broken foot and then
42:06
the other person is very very wounded but going to live they're not going to help me or you cuz you're going to die
42:12
no matter what and I'm going to live no matter what right and even though I'm going to suffer usually you think of
42:18
that in like a military hospital but no that's happening in the hospital in your community it will be or it will be when
42:25
the outbreak gets there yeah I don't know the temperament is in Canada but down here we still have people calling
42:31
it a hoax we still have people saying they don't believe that it's real that it's a power grab by the government we
42:37
have people up here the course that feel that way if you think it's a hoax there's just too many players now like
42:42
come on that's the thing about conspiracy theory people and you've done episodes of conspiracy theories is it
42:48
doesn't matter if 99% of it doesn't make sense they find the 1% that does and they go from there right but but anyway
42:55
lower respiratory infection all right so it can be due to influenza the flu pneumonia bronchitis which
43:02
nobody has time for then I ran out I didn't grab no shoes or nothing Jesus i
43:08
r for my life and then the smoke got me I got bronchitis ain't nobody got time for
43:17
that and uh TB so viruses usually cause this lower respiratory infection so you
43:23
can already have it from a previous flu they can also be caused by bacteria so coughing of course is the main symptom
43:29
of a lower respiratory infection you may also feel breathlessness wheezing a tightening feeling in your chest so
43:35
untreated lower respiratory infections can lead to breathing failure and of course death 3 and a half million people
43:41
died approximately every year because of this crazy so I wonder and that's the argument now is how many people have
43:47
this that are dying that maybe are being said that it's a co9 issue so that's the problem with numbers I think it's kind
43:54
of like a chicken in the egg kind of thing if I get covid-19 and it beats me within an inch of my life but then I
43:59
catch the flu and the flu is what kills me or the vice versa if I have the flu
44:04
and the flu wrecks me but then I catch covid-19 and then die well it's like AIDS right a common cold will kill
44:09
somebody with AIDS what killed them the colder AIDS yeah that's a really that that's a good example yeah okay number
44:15
two stroke getting away from lungs Strokes kill
44:21
6.2 million people it's a lot higher than I thought so a stroke occurs when an artery in your brain is blocked or
44:27
leaks this causes the oxygen deprived brain cells to begin dying within minutes during a stroke you feel
44:34
suddenness confusion or have walking and seeing if left untreated a stroke can cause long-term disability so risk
44:41
factors include high blood pressure family history of stroke being a smoker being African-American right and being
44:48
female there is sickle cell anemia which is a blood disease that literally only affects black people the
44:54
gene that gives you black skin is also the gene that makes you susceptible to disease something like that okay I don't
45:00
know if being black put you at risk of being higher for stroke or if it's a
45:07
cultural thing though because I've heard both sides I've heard that African-Americans have a lot of diabetes
45:13
and and high blood pressure and stuff but it might just be their diet I've also heard that black people just have a
45:18
lot of high blood pressure because of racism oh jeez I've heard that that they say that just living in an environment
45:25
like that Conant VF fear and stress sure yelled at all the time so some risk
45:31
factors of stroke can be reduced with preventive care medications and lifestyle change in general good health
45:37
will lower your risk so Strokes kind of seem like unless you're taking uh a
45:43
medicine that can cause you to stroke out Strokes just kind of seem like they happen you know you should avoid smoking
45:49
drink in moderation cuz these increase your risk that scares me yeah stroke
45:55
does kind of scare me I'm not in the risk area for it yet so yeah Strokes kill a surprising amount of people and
46:02
outside of General preventative maintenance and Care there's really not a whole lot I think you can do there are
46:07
anti-stroke medicines but they're probably only given to people who've already suffered one right we always
46:12
think about like people not being able to speak when they have a stroke that's the part that scares me of having a
46:19
stroke is not necessarily the numbness it's the not being able to talk that's the part that seems like it would be
46:25
really freaky okay okay so number one now if people who are listening are wondering what could be number one now
46:31
before I say what it is you're going to be like oh of course but this is now 2015 and I'm sure it's the same now
46:37
because it's only on the rise 8.8 million people died from s the number
46:43
one killer the the number one killer disease in the world is heart disease or coronary artery disease so this is the
46:51
deadliest disease in the world although it's still the leading cause of death mortality rates have declined though in
46:56
many European countries and in the US this may be due to the better public health education and access to health
47:02
care and forms of prevention however in many developing nations still mortality rates of CAD are on the rise an
47:09
increasing lifespan soci economic changes and lifestyle risk factors play a role in the rise okay so here are some
47:16
risk factors high blood pressure high cholesterol smoking again boy just don't
47:21
smoke family history of CAD diabetes so diabetes kind of rolls into this so if
47:27
you have diabetes you can die from that or you can also just get a heart and just being overweight talk to
47:33
your doctor if you have any of these risk factors ways we can prevent it exercise regularly maintain a healthy
47:38
weight and diet eat a balanced diet avoid smoking and drinking only in
47:44
moderation I like how it says avoid smoking like cigarettes are being that randomly tossed in your mouth that you have to suck down you're dodging the
47:50
smokes I think what's interesting is that they always tell you to drink alcohol in moderation and eat bad food
47:57
in moderation but just avoid smoking well it sounds like smoking really just damages you yeah just don't even smoke
48:04
don't even do it in moderation well cuz if you think about it I mean they talked about pollution being ISS you're basically just sucking on your own
48:10
pollution you're like here's pollution intake or like I'm just literally putting my mouth over the the pipe of a
48:15
car and now that marijuana is getting more and more legalized everywhere especially in North America I love a
48:21
good joint I don't know if we could talk about that on here but Canada knock your socks off yeah
48:27
I love a good joint every so often but well how is this not bad for your lung so I looked it up and apparently just
48:33
smoking a marijuana cigarette does not really do any damage to your lungs it is
48:40
specifically tobacco smoke and all the chemicals and [ __ ] it's the chemicals right it's not smoke like it's like
48:45
saying campfire smoke though you don't you know smoke will kill you because smoke inhilation will anything in your
48:51
lungs that's not supposed to be there is probably going to cause problems right heart disease kills did you say it
48:58
killed 8.8 million God that that is crazy of the 56 million people that have
49:05
these combined diseases 15% of them di with heart disease that's what those
49:11
still it's still a lot of people that's right so 56 so if you're one of the 56 million people who have one of these
49:17
diseases you have a 15% chance dying of the heart disease that's how it works the reality of the situation is is uh I
49:25
mean I am a walking like late 50s heart attack like that's stop it I mean I tell my husband that all the time say you
49:32
know I think about like we're hoping to have a baby in the next year too and I'm just thinking like I'm glad I don't have
49:38
to do all the high school stuff because I'll be gone by then stop it don't say that that's stuff for the stepdad to
49:43
deal with I always yeah I always my wife's eight years younger than me and I always tell her when I die I I fully
49:49
expect you to find a younger handsome richer Man by all means I give you my full blessing my husband's 5 years
49:54
younger than me and I always tell him like your 5 years younger than me and significantly more healthy than me you need to be prepared the last third of
50:01
your life to spend it alone you know like right like we need to plan for that my grandparents actually did that my
50:07
grandpa was a real big dude and my grandma's like super healthy and they even talked about like well we need a
50:13
plan for when I die and then you're alive for the last 15 years and that's kind of what's happened so oh wow yeah
50:20
yeah there you go ladies and gentlemen those are the top 10 diseases there's probably others of course but those are
50:25
the top 10 killers in the world yeah 56 to 60 million a year I'm sure the number
50:30
hasn't changed in the last 5 years are dying every year that's a lot of numbers and not to say the covid-19 isn't a
50:36
serious issue and it should not be you know should not not be social distancing or whatever you want to call it to
50:41
prevent spread because I think it exacerbates issues that it's going to exacerbate issues that's why they're
50:46
saying those who get it those who have pre-existing conditions right now who get the virus that's why that it's it's dangerous for those people in particular
50:53
and something to point out about covid in those statistics I see people say
50:59
that too they're like this many people die of heart attacks every year people die and it's like that is true but that
51:05
heart attack death if you look at the five million people who die this year from heart attacks a good chunk of those
51:11
were long term like long time in the coming a long time in the making 30
51:16
years of lifestyle choices led to that heart attack that killed you you caught covid three days ago and now you're dead
51:23
right that's the difference it's it's aggressive yeah it's iive and it's here when the outbreak first started people
51:29
were talking about the swine flu from about 10 years ago and they were like the swine flu 20,000 Americans and so
51:36
far CO's only killed three people and I'm like that's like going you know more people died in World War I than in the
51:43
first week of World War II so World War I was worse it's like that's a stupid
51:49
statement it doesn't mean anything what does that have you know like I don't know what the temperament is in Canada but there are a lot of people down here
51:56
there's usually a coincidence that the people who are most desperate for this thing to be a hoax also happen to be DieHard supporters of a certain American
52:03
political figure oh that's good that's [ __ ] enough F enough that seems like a coincidence to me but there's definitely
52:10
people who are fighting tooth and nail to deny that this is happening it's like a horror movie as soon as it started in
52:16
China I was how is this not going to happen here right I was blown away that people didn't immediately Panic how is
52:23
it not going to spread and look where we are yeah it's crazy you guys are in a much better situation to deal with than
52:29
we are though because you can tell people to stay home and people have health care and stuff we don't have any
52:35
of that yeah that's I know that's that's crazy I feel bad for you guys it's embarrassing you know and like I love
52:41
America I'm an American Born and Raised I'll probably be unless the country breaks apart I'll probably be here for the rest of my life right things like
52:47
the healthcare are kind of embarrassing cuz I'm like how do we brag that we're the mightiest country we're number one
52:53
but we have our people dying in the street while while our neighbors in Canada and Mexico are handling it it's I
53:00
don't know it's embarrassing is that Mexico is apparently preventing Americans from fleeing to Mexico right
53:06
now yeah there's a bunch of Texans that have ties into Mexico that are trying to get out of here if you want to know how
53:12
creepy it is I live in an area that is near a lake so a lot of these houses the
53:18
fancy houses are part-time houses right people who live down in the city and
53:24
they own this as their second house my buddy is the mailman out here and he said that they have been overwhelmed
53:32
with requests from people who have their second house for the mail service to set them up a mailbox there because they're
53:38
moving from the city to their second house out here jeez so people in Houston are just
53:44
fleeing the city because they know it's coming you know yeah right hopefully we don't look back on this episode in a
53:49
couple months and go well that was quaint when they were joking about it this will probably be out in a week or two so uh hopefully the world world is
53:57
getting better by then so when we're people are listening to this y I want to be optimistic let's just say when this
54:03
episode gets released it will be uh they had nothing to worry about will be the discussions that people are going to
54:08
yeah that's very true okay of these 10 zip if you had to choose which one is
54:13
the last one on your list that You' want to suffer the one I I should worry about is probably the heart attack and
54:19
diabetes M sorosis really scares me because I've seen what it does but if I had to pick be dementia oh
54:27
wow explain I do not want dementia I would much rather my heart pop and me just die in the kitchen MH then die in
54:36
an old folks home not knowing my name not remembering my family not
54:41
remembering anybody being confused that just sounds like hell on Earth I would rather just go and just fall and be dead
54:47
in the mud then cuz then you got to think about my sister and my husband and your children and so yeah dementia
54:53
scares the [ __ ] out of me I agree so I have a kind of a stipulation I know it's kind of cheating I I totally agree with
54:59
you and I think a lot of people probably would agree with you and I do too about Alzheimer what does make it terrible and
55:05
you hinted at it before was what it does to other people even if you have cancer
55:10
or if you have other diseases at least you can have a conversation with your loved ones saying I'm not you know yeah
55:15
you're like I know that I'm dying my lungs I can't breathe but at least we can say goodbye to each other and I love you you know you can have a conversation
55:22
with somebody even as you're dying your mental faculties are still in place whereas unfortunately somebody with
55:27
alzheimer's is you're beside your loved one and you can't even properly say goodbye because the person is like who
55:33
who who are you it's like Have You Ever Seen The Notebook yeah yeah yeah I mean that's I'm not ashamed to admit it's a
55:40
very sad movie yeah well yeah it showcases in a Hollywood way but still a
55:45
real way of what it's like for people but I will have one little stipulation the only on a selfish note honest this
55:51
is just so I agree I agree with that choice I think it would be hard pressed to prove Alzheimer's is the worst way to
55:56
go for everyone involved but on a selfish note because if I truly had Alzheimer's I wouldn't even be aware of
56:02
what I'm doing to people but with a stroke what scares me the most about the stroke is not dying from one but
56:07
surviving one and being paralyzed on one side yes I had I admit that's a selfish thing I totally understand that but just
56:13
being paralyzed my face or the side of my body so selfishly speaking living with the effects of a of a major of a
56:20
major stroke would you know half my body paralyzed or face paralyzed it's like GH that scares me to death so that actually
56:25
scar scares me these other things don't scare me the non-selfish part of me is I wouldn't want to hurt other people with
56:32
my living with Alzheimer's the selfish part of me is me personally living with half of my body frozen because of a
56:38
stroke so there you go it's kind of cheating but if it's possible for me to have a disease that caused others to
56:44
suffer I would probably take like did you see Logan yeah yeah of course yeah with I want I want whatever seizures
56:51
those are that Professor X has that causes everybody else to be in pain yeah I don't think that's part of the list
56:57
here you know what superpowered disease can I have that affects everybody if I had to pick which one's going to kill me and kill me quick I might say
57:03
tuberculosis just so everybody could say the consumption got me yeah he died of the consumption he died of consumption I
57:10
think we're all in agreement that Alzheimer's ultimately is the worst I think probably the worst yeah yeah even though it doesn't kill the most people
57:16
it's the worst way to go for everyone involved yeah all right well that's a fun episode a little gloomy but what
57:22
