Glenn talking about how he needs to win because he put so much effort into being healthy immediately reminded me of Jeff from Community having a breakdown over that exact same thing
This episode felt like watching a Sunny episode, it’s the most in-character I’ve ever seen the guys. From Charlie being vaguely unsure what a doctor does, to Glenn’s hypothetical existential crisis over not winning, to Rob “do you think you are going to die”, this is the hardest I’ve laughed in a while
I REALLY wish they'd do an entire podcast 100% in character, there's a show called "Trailer Park Boys" and they started a podcast years ago-but they've done the *entire* thing 100% in total character, and it's exponentially better than if they weren't. Not saying they should have that as a permanent setup or anything but for one episode that'd be a great idea and just plain perfect 👌
@@SythPls Yep they've had one since about 2015-2016 👍Used to listen/watch them all the time at work until I had seen them so much I had to take a very long break lol
“Don’t you just want it all to eventually end?” And now a word from our sponsor Better Help! The greatest segway of all time. Love this podcast as usual
The fact that most people, particularly young people, don’t regularly go to doctors for check ups in the US is more about money than lack of preventative care practiced. You need insurance and you need to take time off work.
From the sound of it, I'm pretty sure Glen sees a functional doctor, who focus on general health, he's still a doctor, but they're proactive, will prescribe herbs sometimes, and are almost never covered by insurance.
@@frostypickle nah, health care is free here in Canada and almost no young person goes in for check ups either...I don't think I ever have went for a check up in my life and I'm 30...There's nowhere near enough family physicians for us all to have personal doctors (and that's not due to not enough people wanting to be doctors, it's a shortage by design unfortunately)
Kinda odd that the phlebotomist said that 159/78 is pretty good. Because it’s not lol. The top number is pretty high. From what I can remember robs reading is prehypertension-hypertension level which definitely isn’t ideal.
@@Xbitxx nah, you have to factor in the situation. The systolic is high prob bc he’s filming a podcast, the diastolic is normal and is a better indicator of how the bp is long-term
@@C0URTNEYYYYYYYY_______________ no bro. That phlebotomist knew nothing about what she was talking about in terms of good blood pressure readings. Also, they tested their blood pressure again with a real doctor on their podcast with a real blood pressure monitor and got way better results. There is no world where 159/78 is “pretty good.” If anything it’s “pretty bad”. 120/80 is considered ideal
@@C0URTNEYYYYYYYY_______________ yeah that’s cool and all…Pretty much my whole family works in the medical field including me. My mother is an RN as well. 160/79 is NOT “pretty good” the diastolic was fine but the systolic was pretty high and yes I understand that nerves, anxiety, stress etc can make bp rise. Those wrist monitors that she used are not the most accurate. All of their Bps were pretty elevated yet she assured them that it was really good. When the real doctor came in and tested them all with a legitimate bp cuff, they all had far better readings.
@@rickylefebvreas someone with adhd i have an incredibly difficult time around people with authority for lots of different reasons, rob also has adhd so i can guess that might be a reason
Love the conscious decision not to cut to Meg after Glenn's parable at 24:00. You just know she was biting her tongue to stop from asking him if he heard that story from his doctor.
I love Glenn until he starts talking about anything science. Charlie is definitely the smartest out of the 3, simply for understanding the concept of experts.
I love the consistency of this podcast. they don’t always talk about the show or follow a format, but I can always count on the conversation devolving into poop jokes
It's funny Charlie mentions "what is health?" bc there really is a ton of academic work written in philosophy, sociology, etc., about what it really means to talk about health and call someone healthy!!
I am watching in not an exactly chronological order (the podcast) but I imagine that as they get into later epidaodes they have had to draw on their real personalities more to portray their characters. I am really enjoying watching them though. It does feel like watching their creative process.
Watching the conversation of friends having that competitive spirit, sympathetic to each other's physical restrictions, and busting chops is the ideal male friendship goals.
If you haven't listened to all the podcast episodes, let me assure you that Glenn absolutely DOES love pseudoscience. Great actor, not a very bright guy.
@@LMarti13its so easy to fool people with misinformation that despite creating the misinformation completely on your own and having proof of it, its actually harder to make that person believe you lied to them.
GPs practice preventative care, not just treatment/reactive care. Also most doctors read medical journals to keep up with the current science. Doctors need to take their boards every number of years so they’re not practicing what they learned 30 years ago in med school.
Agree. I think they forgot about the fact that doctors have practicing licenses and they, as all licenses do, expire after some time. So, if they wanna renew, they 100% have to keep up with current medical research. Any GP that doesn't prescribe good lifestyle changes is objectively a poor GP.
But let’s also not act like doctors are all as good as each other. They’re not robots and there’s a bit of art in doctoring, even if it’s just in how you communicate with patients, and I’d be willing to bet that Glenn has a very good one
It's great that Charlie brought up pseudoscience and questioned the legitimacy of all so many people get caught up on things that don't actually matter or aren't even true.
@@alixberglund2699 And Glenn claiming that aging happens "due to disease" is also completely wrong. Glenn should never open his mouth about science or medicine tbh.

When you reach the episode 'the gang gets analysed'. You should all be independently analysed before you start the podcast episode and come in with a video result for each of you. You should include a few more cast members ✌🏽
No judgement here, but I'm skinny so they never brought it up for me either. They are all "blah blah don't drink so much blah blah smoking will kill you blah blah blah liters of soda everyday is bad for you blah blah blah. God-damned doctors telling me how to eat my food...
They've probably been led to believe that only their expensive rich people doctors do that. Need to make them think they're getting something special for their money and that regular doctors just do the bare minimum.

I see all your guys and raise you- My guy is a western, eastern, central, northern medicine and dabbles in southern. He reads all the old stuff and then rereads it to make sure he got it THEN he reads all the modern medicine stuff to stay up on all the new technologies. He practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu, flies a helicopter, and drives a Porsche.
Does your guy know about the benefits of meditation and direct current deep brain stimulation? That's what I thought, champ. My guy does pilates btw the ultimate martial art form, flies a jumbo jet and drives a Ferrari, chump.
Regarding Charlie not wanting to do testing because he’s worried about an incidental brain tumor finding… I work in the medical field and I ALWAYS let coworkers demo new equipment on me, but all of my coworkers say the same thing. “Well what if something is wrong with me!”, it’s definitely a weird phenomena but I guess I can kind of see the justification behind it.
To be fair, I don’t think its a particularly uncommon thing for people to have a benign tumour at some point in their life that causes almost no change to your overall health and goes away on its own without any treatment. Of course you should want to know if you have a tumour but the stress of finding and knowing you have a benign tumour is probably more damaging to your health than the tumour. I know this isn’t an at all rational approach to medicine and healthcare but people are nothing if not irrational
Is there a whole section in the middle where the audio and the video are out of sync? Not seeing any comments about it but I’ve restarted the app and it’s still this way.
We are absolutely taught to take in upstream determinants of health and things outside of medication as interventions. The problem is that people don't want to eat better, exercise and sleep regularly. And they often don't come to the doctor until they're so messed up that just fixing your diet is not an adequate response.
I'm a clinical mental health counselor in-training. You guys could get a MSE (mental status exam) or a MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). I would love to see your guys results.
I'm also constantly in motion. Like right now, dude, I am doing leg lifts that are IMPERCETABLE to the human eye. I call 'em hummingbirds. And although I might seem relaxed, I'm actually incredibly tense at all times.
@@andreasanchez2815 Or even worse, toxins that don't do anything and make the problem worse. SSRIs, Xanax. No thanks. I'll take mushrooms a few times every couple of years and be done with it.
I laughed so hard when Glenn and Rob were talking about death and uploading their being. Then sharply after giving all the listeners an existential crisis they immediate segue to Better Help.
@ The always sunny podcast, I love watching this podcast and the show because u can see the clear love and how good friends u guys r and its refreshing cause u are sincere
As someone who has a fear of needles and can't stand the sight of blood, some of it was hard to watch but it's a testament that I still thought the episode was hilarious, can't wait for Pt 2!
It is at this point, 50 episodes in, that I realized that we're just watching the guys slowly morphing into their characters. Keep it up, proud of you Megan :D
I'm kinda surprised by her saying that 159/78 is normal and 'pretty good;' my perspective is probably skewed by working in pediatrics for so long but I was shocked to hear that systolic for Rob. Can't wait to hear what the doctor says. 🧡
This is not good, you want the bottom number under 80 (so he is normal there, and this is the best predictor of mortality), but the top number should be under 120. 160 is the cutoff for when you consider medication.
None of the blood pressure readings were done according to the American heart association guidelines and i couldn't hear what rob said but 159 systolic is stage one. And I'm surprised by her using a wrist monitor because EVERY provider I've had told me thoses are not accurate and rold me to only use rhe upper arm ones of the proper size, my bicep is 161/2 around.
Appreciate the discussion about what is “health”, which is completely valid. But tough to watch parts of this one. Borderline needs a disclaimer on some of the things stated as fact, eg Glenns insinuation that Western doctors don’t require continuing education (which they’re legally required to do). Definitely felt like he was defending pre-determined conclusion (with obvious personal bias). Part of todays problems is people with large audiences (especially those with podcasts…) going outside their lane. Appreciate Charlie and Rob counterbalance on this ep
Yeah, as a (gasp!) Western doctor, I almost turned this episode off after only 5 minutes, because it's just so hard to listen to. Charlie definitely has the smartest/most accurate view of medicine.
Hearing that western medicine places no focus on preventative medicine is so depressing especially after a pandemic where multiple forms of preventative practices were used (masks, vaccines distancing etc). Also all of the research on the importance of sleep/diet/exercise is all more than enough justification for a doctor to be ensuring you are living a healthy lifestyle
Glad to see you participate in the extra-curricular activities with the guys Meg, you should cause imo you're part of the gang, even if you aren't a MC on the show itself. 🙏🙂
Dude I don’t know WHAT is happening, I’m trying to creep on this episode, but for some reason no matter how many times I restart it or let it buffer, after the first series of ads the audio gets like so absolutely out of sync for me that it’s like impossible to tell what what’s happening. It’s driving me nuts cause I can’t find any comments about this so I know it’s just my phone being a jackass in some capacity. I wanna CREEP, guy!

My doctor saw a mildly elevated number on my blood results from an ER visit the night before. Nothing serious, nothing alarming to literally anyone else who saw it. He said "Go back to the ER right now, you've never had this number elevated on a single test, something's wrong." My kidneys were failing. I would've died if I'd just gone in when I started feeling sick. So they should use that guy. That's the guy who knows his shit. He's like the nice version of Dr. House.
In terms of mental health, you should absolutely do something like that episode where they all barged their way in to get analyzed by the same therapist
This episode for me has the most Sunny feel in it. Haven't seem them all yet, but the idea of them financing this nonsense to see who is healtier is almost canon... Also Rob/Mac having a colonoscopy for some reason 😆
Every Monday my work week starts, but every Monday I get a brand new podcast from the crew. Really turns my Monday into a Tuesday feeling. It’s nice. I love this podcast
@@NoVACorpsGaming haha I was listening while doing chores but every time I’d check the screen I could SWEAR it was waaaay off. But I couldn’t see anyone mentioning it in the comments and started to think I breathed in too many cleaning fumes 😅
LOL "Yeah, but..don't you just kind of want to die one day and just, you know..be done?" "Oh, of course." "Ok, everybody, welcome to today's sponsor, BetterHelp."
I think bringing a ziplock baggie of your blood to a random person you found on the internet, who say they offer blood analysis, could be a cool idea to try out too.
Also the interaction between Meg and the phlebotomist was amazing. She asked (me paraphrasing) "can I just call you a nurse because I am self conscious about not being able to pronounce it" and she says (me insinuating) "no, I am a professional and I am a phlebotomist" and then Meg decides to just call her by her name which to me was respectful.
My moms sister died of a brain tumor which turned out to be brain cancer. shes been gone for almost 5 years but having to go through losing my aunt like that really makes you take life seriously and get checked out regularly and dont ignore symptoms. I love yall so much! yall give me so many smile and laughter

Ooh, that's interesting. I didn't notice.
I agree, it's a really fun show!
Oh my god I had no idea that had been released and I'm just watching it right now THANK YOU!!
I was wondering whether to watch the show or not but this has defo convinced me, I'll watch anything Megan is involved with
@@SeanoMcCool18 what streaming service is it on?
@@efnfen Channel 4 in the UK. Use a VPN and make an account with them 😁
I see all your guys and raise you- My guy is a western, eastern, central, northern medicine and dabbles in southern. He reads all the old stuff and then rereads it to make sure he got it THEN he reads all the modern medicine stuff to stay up on all the new technologies. He practices Brazilian jiu-jitsu, flies a helicopter, and drives a Porsche.
Does your guy know about the benefits of meditation and direct current deep brain stimulation? That's what I thought, champ. My guy does pilates btw the ultimate martial art form, flies a jumbo jet and drives a Ferrari, chump.
I want to see you guys compete in a high school physical fitness test
Regarding Charlie not wanting to do testing because he’s worried about an incidental brain tumor finding… I work in the medical field and I ALWAYS let coworkers demo new equipment on me, but all of my coworkers say the same thing. “Well what if something is wrong with me!”, it’s definitely a weird phenomena but I guess I can kind of see the justification behind it.
To be fair, I don’t think its a particularly uncommon thing for people to have a benign tumour at some point in their life that causes almost no change to your overall health and goes away on its own without any treatment. Of course you should want to know if you have a tumour but the stress of finding and knowing you have a benign tumour is probably more damaging to your health than the tumour.
I know this isn’t an at all rational approach to medicine and healthcare but people are nothing if not irrational
Is there a whole section in the middle where the audio and the video are out of sync? Not seeing any comments about it but I’ve restarted the app and it’s still this way.
Same
Glenn and Charlie having the same proctologist makes them Eskimo brothers.
Much love to everyone! Life can be rough, late Sunday night im happy I can get a notification like this.
We're all gonna be okay! Golden gods in fact
We are absolutely taught to take in upstream determinants of health and things outside of medication as interventions. The problem is that people don't want to eat better, exercise and sleep regularly. And they often don't come to the doctor until they're so messed up that just fixing your diet is not an adequate response.
I'm a clinical mental health counselor in-training. You guys could get a MSE (mental status exam) or a MMPI-2 (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory). I would love to see your guys results.
Mmmmm, you said "in-training" and that would lead them to not listen to you
@@shinrahunter I don't believe that's his point. He wants to look their name up on the database after they have said tests.
@@onapermo I believe they were making a joke
I don't think these guys want their names listed in the Donkey Brain Database.
@@shinrahunter both of the assessments are very basic and standard. You get trained in administering them in the first year
This podcast has actually made me looking forward to Mondays.
I'm also constantly in motion. Like right now, dude, I am doing leg lifts that are IMPERCETABLE to the human eye. I call 'em hummingbirds. And although I might seem relaxed, I'm actually incredibly tense at all times.
as someone who works in healthcare, some parts of this episode made me want to scream lmao
Do you prescribe synthetic toxic pharmaceutical medication that only treats symptoms of disease ?
Glenn is so far into woo-woo it kills me
@@andreasanchez2815 Or even worse, toxins that don't do anything and make the problem worse. SSRIs, Xanax. No thanks. I'll take mushrooms a few times every couple of years and be done with it.
the 159 being "normal"?
Same. Almost skipped this one entirely. It's so painful.
I laughed so hard when Glenn and Rob were talking about death and uploading their being. Then sharply after giving all the listeners an existential crisis they immediate segue to Better Help.
LOL both Glenn and Charlie bent their knees to touch their toes.
I love that they’re doing this just to entertain us… but bro 159/78 is way too high hahahaha
Lookin good tho rob 👍🏼
Thank you! How is no one else mentioning this??? I had to look way too long to see if anyone else heard that!
@ The always sunny podcast, I love watching this podcast and the show because u can see the clear love and how good friends u guys r and its refreshing cause u are sincere
Man, I wish they got all their doctors together to judge them like it's American Idol
Charlie is so introspective in regards to health. It was nice to see
Glenn and Rob talking to a therapist seems like it would be absolutely fascinating 🤣🤣
...and a little terrifying.
"Oh I see you put this pen here and people are supposed to think it's a dick"
I will be the podcast therapist 💁♀️🎙️🛋️
Considering that Rob exercises regularly and isn't overweight, his blood pressure IS abnormal lmao
Yeah, 159 systolic is in the hypertension range
159/78 is NOT pretty good lmao who the fuck telling them this. @@MrSF247
As someone who has a fear of needles and can't stand the sight of blood, some of it was hard to watch but it's a testament that I still thought the episode was hilarious, can't wait for Pt 2!
Rob: my blood pressure's 159/78
Phlebotomist: That's pretty good!
dead🤣
When I first saw Charlie’s jacket in the full shot, I thought his pocket was Frank. 😂
It is at this point, 50 episodes in, that I realized that we're just watching the guys slowly morphing into their characters. Keep it up, proud of you Megan :D
I'm kinda surprised by her saying that 159/78 is normal and 'pretty good;' my perspective is probably skewed by working in pediatrics for so long but I was shocked to hear that systolic for Rob. Can't wait to hear what the doctor says. 🧡
I have no medical background but it seems to me that you want to take a blood pressure reading before you take a patient's blood.
This is not good, you want the bottom number under 80 (so he is normal there, and this is the best predictor of mortality), but the top number should be under 120. 160 is the cutoff for when you consider medication.
None of the blood pressure readings were done according to the American heart association guidelines and i couldn't hear what rob said but 159 systolic is stage one. And I'm surprised by her using a wrist monitor because EVERY provider I've had told me thoses are not accurate and rold me to only use rhe upper arm ones of the proper size, my bicep is 161/2 around.
I thought the same thing. 159 is well into hypertension. I'd be curious what it would be in a quieter/calmer setting.
120/80 is the benchmark normal BP. That systolic number (159) is quite high and is definately not normal if that is taken at rest
Glenn and Rob were totally performing for Amy and I love it
I can't sleep so I really needed this to just relax
Charlie is wearing Megan's shirt she wore earlier in the episode?? It's pretty adorable that he borrows her clothes.
Appreciate the discussion about what is “health”, which is completely valid. But tough to watch parts of this one. Borderline needs a disclaimer on some of the things stated as fact, eg Glenns insinuation that Western doctors don’t require continuing education (which they’re legally required to do). Definitely felt like he was defending pre-determined conclusion (with obvious personal bias). Part of todays problems is people with large audiences (especially those with podcasts…) going outside their lane. Appreciate Charlie and Rob counterbalance on this ep
Yeah, as a (gasp!) Western doctor, I almost turned this episode off after only 5 minutes, because it's just so hard to listen to. Charlie definitely has the smartest/most accurate view of medicine.
Hearing that western medicine places no focus on preventative medicine is so depressing especially after a pandemic where multiple forms of preventative practices were used (masks, vaccines distancing etc). Also all of the research on the importance of sleep/diet/exercise is all more than enough justification for a doctor to be ensuring you are living a healthy lifestyle
26:58 - The video began to be out of sequence with the sound. Did anyone notice?
I thought the problem must have been on my end, cos it took me so long to find this comment. How is this not the top comment?
Glad to see you participate in the extra-curricular activities with the guys Meg, you should cause imo you're part of the gang, even if you aren't a MC on the show itself. 🙏🙂
Dude I don’t know WHAT is happening, I’m trying to creep on this episode, but for some reason no matter how many times I restart it or let it buffer, after the first series of ads the audio gets like so absolutely out of sync for me that it’s like impossible to tell what what’s happening. It’s driving me nuts cause I can’t find any comments about this so I know it’s just my phone being a jackass in some capacity. I wanna CREEP, guy!
You’re not alone!
same, super annoying :(

My doctor saw a mildly elevated number on my blood results from an ER visit the night before. Nothing serious, nothing alarming to literally anyone else who saw it. He said "Go back to the ER right now, you've never had this number elevated on a single test, something's wrong." My kidneys were failing. I would've died if I'd just gone in when I started feeling sick. So they should use that guy. That's the guy who knows his shit. He's like the nice version of Dr. House.
In terms of mental health, you should absolutely do something like that episode where they all barged their way in to get analyzed by the same therapist
This episode for me has the most Sunny feel in it. Haven't seem them all yet, but the idea of them financing this nonsense to see who is healtier is almost canon... Also Rob/Mac having a colonoscopy for some reason 😆
Guys, this is awesome. I turned 40 yesterday so waking up to this has made my day.
"pee in a cub, stand on the scale."
Glenn with a mouthful of food: "shit."
Not gonna lie, I just put this on and saw them all gettin pumped up and it made me wanna join in immediately. No explanation required.
Every Monday my work week starts, but every Monday I get a brand new podcast from the crew. Really turns my Monday into a Tuesday feeling. It’s nice. I love this podcast
Is the audio messed up for everyone else?
I spent 5 minutes trying to fix it, glad it’s not just me lol
@@NoVACorpsGaming haha I was listening while doing chores but every time I’d check the screen I could SWEAR it was waaaay off. But I couldn’t see anyone mentioning it in the comments and started to think I breathed in too many cleaning fumes 😅
LOL
"Yeah, but..don't you just kind of want to die one day and just, you know..be done?"
"Oh, of course."
"Ok, everybody, welcome to today's sponsor, BetterHelp."
21:06 Finally someone mentions that a doctor's advice should be considered. Love it
I love that they seem to really enjoy doing the podcast now. Also, that doctor looks like the Hollywoodest of doctors.
'your going to keep the worst part'. That was the best... especially how fast you said it. Perfect.
I was literally driving home from lab -getting blood work done while listening to you guys talk about blood work.
I think bringing a ziplock baggie of your blood to a random person you found on the internet, who say they offer blood analysis, could be a cool idea to try out too.
I do blood analysis, btw
Also the interaction between Meg and the phlebotomist was amazing. She asked (me paraphrasing) "can I just call you a nurse because I am self conscious about not being able to pronounce it" and she says (me insinuating) "no, I am a professional and I am a phlebotomist" and then Meg decides to just call her by her name which to me was respectful.
The problem with Glenn advertising bluechew is that he would never choose to chew
15:34 the exchange/glances between Glenn and Charlie when he's talking about how he sways..but doesn't break...LOL so fuckin funny
Dang Meg should’ve been a therapist! She’s ask such good questions that make you think introspectively
My moms sister died of a brain tumor which turned out to be brain cancer. shes been gone for almost 5 years but having to go through losing my aunt like that really makes you take life seriously and get checked out regularly and dont ignore symptoms. I love yall so much! yall give me so many smile and laughter
