That's right.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

What kind of physician was he?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Orthopedic surgeon.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Yeah.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Because I was going to ask you, how did your physician father feel about you playing football in the first place?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

But I would imagine even compounded by this being an orthopedic surgeon.

Well, he's probably observed a lot of injuries.

What were the challenges?

Did you have a hard time putting on weight?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

I'm like an okay athlete, but I work really, really hard.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

But David, I have to tell you something.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Every athlete says that.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

I finally want one to say like, I'm a fucking physical phenom.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

I hit the genetic lottery, Curtis.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

Oh, no, he'll tell you he works so hard.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
David Fajgenbaum (on repurposing medicine)

It was confronting their stereotypes, to say the least.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Your dad must have loved this.
