Rise and shine fever dreamers. Look alive, my friends. I'm V. Spear. And I'm Sammy Sage.

And this is American Fever Dream, presented by Betches News. The show that is actively choosing to ignore the discourse around that book about Joe Biden. Correct. Leave Joe Biden alone. Joe Biden ain't the president anymore.

But we wrote that line before we learned of his terrible cancer diagnosis. And we're very

sorry about that. We're very sorry to hear that. I often think not just about when it's a celebrity

or a major figure that gets some sort of diagnosis or dies or something. I don't always think necessarily just about that person, but about the broader impact it has on the public.

And I think a lot of us have had an experience with an uncle or a brother or dad or somebody who is diagnosed with prostate cancer.

And so hearing that Joe Biden had prostate cancer and it was aggressive. It spread to his bones. I think

brought up a lot more feelings for me about men's health than it did necessarily me over-focusing

on Joe Biden's specific diagnosis. So I just want to recognize for the audience that like,

this is a tough one. This is like when somebody gets diagnosed with breast cancer or ovarian cancer,

where we just feel like

it's such an intimate thing. It's such a difficult thing and it's such an unfortunately common thing.

So that's kind of where I went with it. Yeah. I mean, prostate cancer is very common. It is also very

treatable. Usually. Yeah. Obviously at this point, we've talked enough about his age, but you can't ignore the fact that that's a risk factor for this. Right. He and his family are evaluating treatments, but that it had been responsive to a type of hormone therapy. It's basically like an, I believe it's like an androgen blockers, the type of therapy hormone therapy that he would be receiving. Yeah.

But it's really sad.

This family has been through a lot.

It's quite interesting timing with the fact that they were going to release Robert,

DOJ's former independent counsel, Robert Hurr's audio recording of, you know, his, his questioning with the DOJ over those classified papers from, you know, a year from 20, ends of October 8th,

2023 of all days, which is pretty wild to think about that he was doing that the day after

October 7th. Right.

I mean, that's what he was dealing with. People want to like remove all of the context surrounding anything with Joe Biden and like,

for whatever reason, have made this the thing that's going to unite Americans, all this hate for Joe Biden and all the conspiracy and all the original sin.
