One More Thing.

Find it wherever you find all your podcasts.

Drama in real life what was the last time you took over the one more thing podcast what is that one about was that your health situation

type two diabetes right that was an interesting story unfortunate for you obviously but

how is that going by that's going very well actually you know i have a funny story about That was an interesting story. Unfortunate for you, obviously.

How is that going, by the way? That's going very well, actually. I have a funny story about that. They wanted to give me a bunch of drugs. And I said, I will change my diet. I will exercise.

And then not to be the conspiracy guy, but I mean, if you prescribe medicine, somebody's paying for it and somebody's receiving money. So there's got to be some incentive. some might not be the doctor, but there's got to be an incentive somewhere along the line to have you taking drugs as opposed to eating better, right? I mean, people make money if you don't eat better. I was told that they have medical reps come by all the time. Oh, yeah. Promoting drugs, yeah.
