I guess we can give you an ultrasound if you insist on it.

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

And I'm like, verily, sir, I do.

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

And I do insist.

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

And so I get an ultrasound and they're like, yeah, you have a mild case of fatty liver disease.

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

lose 10 to 15 percent of your body weight for a starter and come back to us in a year.

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

I was just like, all right, you know what?

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

I have all these wearable devices.

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

Let's try this.

The Vergecast
Ben McKenzie vs. crypto

And, you know, part of me was just like, I'm going to do everything right.
