Hi, a quick note before we start.

If you have young listeners with you, please be advised that this podcast contains strong language.

Also, it's serialized, so if you're just joining in here, you should go back and start at episode one of season three.

Okay, let's start the show.

All righty.

And only 1052. We're doing wonderful.

It's just a few weeks after Jason's terrifying asthma attack at home.

I'm going with him to see Dr. Sexaria, little Liam's doctor.

How you doing?

Dr. Sexaria? He's the allergist who helped get Liam's asthma under control.

Jason is hoping the doctor will be able to work his healing magic over him too.

When we arrive, it's a generic medical office with some bored people sitting looking at their phones,

a TV playing a soap opera on the wall.

On the surface, nothing indicates what a big deal this place could be for Jason.

And nobody's making a fuss over Jason either.

Like, oh, you're the comedian who died on stage.

So the first thing we're going to do assessment-wise is a breathing assessment. I'm sure you've done something like this if you went to PCC.

The nurse does some breathing tests on him.

Jason's mood seems pretty calm.

But once we're alone in the little exam room, his jokes feel a shade darker than usual.

I always know the Grim Reaper's kind of reaching a little bit, and I keep slapping his hand.

Get your hand away from it.
