We're back. We're back. This is distraction. I'm Drew. That's raw. That you doing, raw. I'm good, man. How are you? You doing all right? Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm minding my free speech like a good citizen. Good for you. Yeah. You got to be careful what you say and what you do. It's good advice. Our Fleischer was ahead of the curve there. So exciting. Hey,

let's get to the fun stuff. We have Dan McQuaid with us. Oh, that is fun. Hi, Dan. I'm only here

to talk about fun stuff today. Nothing, nothing negative. No, nothing serious. Nothing serious at all.

Certainly not the fact that you're suffering from cancer as we speak.

We're not going to talk.

Negative is not the word I would use. Yeah. Yeah. So if you don't know, I'm Dan McQuaid. I'm the visual editor at DeFectar. I don't even think I got an intro. Just, hey, here's this guy with cancer. We're putting them on the air. You started talking before I could go into the script, but that's okay. Well, Roth talked over you, too. So I thought that was the new. Roth talked over you, and I was like, ooh, that's what I'm best at. So I just jumped in. You know what? I think that's fair. I personally enjoy blaming everything on Roth, too. So I'm sorry. You know what you did, you piece of shit. No, your audio dropped for a second. I didn't get a lot of what you were saying. Now you're talking over me. Now you're talking over me. You can't do that. Dan's talking about cancer. You don't care about cancer by talking so much. All right. So I have been for possibly a decade now, but I have known for a little over a year that I have

been living with neuroendocrine cancer of the pancreas. Panets, they can also be called

Islet cell tumors. There's lots of words for it. It's a little hard to explain. It is not pancreatic cancer. That is

much more common and that is much worse of an outcome. About 7 and 100,000 people are diagnosed

with neuroendocrine cancer every year. It can sort of come out of anywhere in your body,

anywhere in your neuroend anywhere of your, you know,

in your neuroendocrine system. And I have it originally in the pancreas. It was discovered due to

a blood test that eventually took place after years of unexplained pain that was sort of radiating up

through my shoulder from my liver, which was

like 80% tumors. So, yeah, that sucked. But in the last year, I've had three surgeries. I get a

monthly shot of a drug called Lanreotide, and I had four rounds of radiation that took six months.

And right now I'm doing really well. I like to say that I am just living with neuroendocrine

cancer. Right now, I'm like feeling really healthy, the most healthful I felt in a really

long time. It has gotten easier to deal with both the mental and physical pressures of

having this cancer. And I don't know. I have, like, a 21-month-old son who's perfect, and I have a perfect wife, and my family and friends

have all been great through this past year,

and everyone at Defector has been amazing.
