Chapter 3: How does Al feel about his upcoming dermatologist appointment?
Yeah. As they're about to check you out, that's embarrassing.
Well, I did wear dark underwear because if you have a tiny wet drop on light colored underwear, you will see that. Okay. So that helps. So that'll help. What about wearing shorts like over your underwear?
Because they say get into your underwear. They really want to see you, don't they? But that could be my boxers. Yes, it could. That's why I was saying just wear like athletic shorts over your underwear.
Yeah, because I don't need them to check my genitals. That's never exposed. No, you want them to.
That's never exposed to the sun. Right. What about your bare ass? You've never laid on the beach? No. Pulled down the underwear and get those cheeks rosy? No. Yeah, me neither. I would say bring athletic shorts.
Because the doctors will say this when you go to the dermatologist. They will say to you, is there anything in particular... that you've seen on your body that you... Would you, if I said that to you, would you have some ideas like, yeah, I got this thing on my thigh and... I don't think so. Yeah, I got a couple things, but they checked them out three years ago. No, I don't. Like on my thigh.
And nothing has changed? No, nothing's changed.
Well, that's good. I don't... And this is bad on my part.

Chapter 4: What are common concerns during a dermatologist visit?
I don't know that I've looked enough. I mean, I certainly... And I'm in the sun a lot with golf, for sure. I do try to spray sunblock on. I don't do it every day, though. I'm not going to lie. All those years on the baseball field... Um, I've probably taken for granted and wrongly. So, you know, I've got, I have that Italian olive skin.
I always kind of felt like I'd be okay, but I don't, I don't know. But I, but I've nothing, nothing stands out. Like I don't feel any, any raised marks on my skin. I don't see anything that looks unusual, but I also haven't given myself like a, um, real... What's the right word I'm looking for?
A real once-over.
Like a comprehensive check. Yeah. Like, I haven't done that. I probably should. I also haven't gone to a dermatologist.
Yeah. I would say in the past three years since I last went... Because, you know, I do walk my dog a lot outdoors. I'm bald and I don't put a hat on because they're generally in the summer, like 20-minute walks. And I always feel like 20 minutes in the sun, I think, is even good for you. It is weird that we've made going into the sun unhealthy, even though going into the sun is healthy.
I think it's unhealthy at long periods of time and exposure. I mean, everything you read about vitamin D and getting it from the sun and all that, I don't think you're meant to go out and fry for six hours when it's 90 degrees and there's not a cloud in the sky. I don't think that's good for your skin. But I don't think going out there for 20 minutes is a bad thing either.
So, you know, it's like everything. There's a balance with everything we do.
Yeah. I know. I really want to ask this woman, doctor, although I don't think I'm getting the doctor. I think I'm getting some sort of assistant. A naughty nurse. An OnlyFans naughty nurse. I really want to ask the question of, because I've heard from so many, and these are doctors, by the way.
Mm-hmm.

Chapter 5: How do Al and Jerry discuss body image and self-consciousness?
Really? Yeah. Now that seems like that could not be true. But they say that the incidence of skin cancers has not decreased after all these years of everyone telling everyone to put sunscreen on. Yeah. So I don't know. I would like to ask that question. There's so many questions that we don't know answers to. But why don't we know the answer to that? That seems like a pretty simple question.
If I put these chemicals on my skin, is this going to give me skin cancer?
Well, I guess as we continue to evolve and get more technologically advanced and medically advanced, I guess we learn more and more. I mean, like a good one, for instance, would be, I'm sure you've seen these videos, all these doctors on YouTube, of course, that claim the autophagy, is that what it's called?
When your body starts to eat the fat around your organs and was discovered in 2016 by a doctor from, I believe it was Harvard trained, and he won the Nobel Peace Prize for this discovery. And that's the whole part of you got to give your body 16 to 18 hours without eating so that your body...
basically cleans itself inside and eats away all the toxins and all the crap that's growing and all the fat, and that you really only need this six to eight hour eating window. Well, growing up, not in the 1920s. I grew up in the 80s. You grew up in the late 70s and early 80s. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You got to eat breakfast.
If you don't eat breakfast, you're starving yourself. You're going to be dizzy. You might pass out. Holy crap. You can't focus. Meantime, what science is telling us now and what doctors, again, they're on YouTube, but they all seem like they got great credentials. They're the real doctors. And they seem to be science-backed.
is that we're not meant to be eating three times a day and that you got to give your body the break. The other one too, if you go back like 10 years, remember the big trend was small meals, eat often, keep the metabolism burning. Right. I watched something the other day that said that might've been the most misguided information we've ever handed out because it doesn't allow your body to reset.
It just continues to work against itself.
I don't know. I know. This is the problem. All this stuff, you would think that in how far we have come in all this stuff, that there would be definitive answers to all this stuff. And there isn't. Right.

Chapter 6: What humorous anecdotes do they share about doctor visits?
I don't know what to... Because the other thing I was... A couple of months ago, maybe in the summer, I was reading a lot about... sun exposure and the suntan lotion that we use and how terrible it is. And they tell you that the zinc-based ones are better. Right. But when you go to the store, if there are a hundred different kinds of suntan lotion, maybe you could find one zinc-based one.
Oh, they're all, it's like, oh yeah, of course. You know what I mean? So like you have to really look through it. Why is that any different than going to the supermarket? Yeah. 90% of what's in the supermarket is crap.
Yeah.
Yeah. And then one of the things when I was looking at that thing, it said that most of the things that the dermatologists find on you, if it's not melanoma, it's not. Melanoma is the one that can kill you. Right. And the other thing this doctor was saying online is that if skin cancer, if most of the things they want to pull off you, they still call skin cancer. It's not melanoma. Right.
you're not going to die from that skin cancer. Melanoma, you will. And oftentimes, when melanoma is found on somebody, it's in an area that doesn't get sun. So that doesn't make any sense.
No. I feel like if my lower back had melanoma. Right. When you always have a shirt on, you're never shirtless.
Yes.
Yeah, I don't know. I got a lot of questions, Jerry.
I hope this woman is ready to get some questions.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of discussing health issues openly?
This place is really good. So I was like, I want to go there, and I'll just pay. So when they asked me the one time, they go, when I called, they said, oh, and what insurance do you have? I go, oh, my insurance isn't covered by this, so I'll just pay cash. They go, oh, okay. Then when I get there, they go, can I see your insurance card? I go, well, you don't take my insurance card.
I said, I'm just going to pay cash. She goes, ooh, I don't know if we can do that. Hold on. And I was like, what? I'm in the waiting room.
Mm-hmm.
You don't want me to pay cash? I didn't understand that.
I don't either because I used to go to a urologist years ago. He was phenomenal. And when SAG-AFTRA changed insurance plans, he was no longer part of it. So I didn't realize that he wasn't in the plan, so I went for my first appointment. And his wife, I believe, runs the office. And she goes, oh, no, we don't take this. I'm like, well, I really want to see the doctor. Just here's my credit card.
It is what it is. And she goes, okay, thank you. Everything was good. I called back to make a follow-up appointment like six months later. She hung up on me when she asked me for my insurance. I said, no, I'm the person. I just like the doctor. I don't care what it costs. I'll give you my credit card. She goes, no insurance can't help. Bye.
The only thing I can think of with that is, so let's say I'm going in today and I'm going to pay cash. I think last time, three years ago, it was 180. Okay. Seemed reasonable to me. So let's go. I go in there today. I pay 200 bucks. All of a sudden, let's say I do have an issue. I'm not going to go get it done there because you don't have the money to pay them. Probably right.
I can pay for my once over, but maybe they think, Hey, if we have an issue here, he's going to go somewhere else to get it taken care of because we're not in his insurance.
That's interesting.

Chapter 8: How do they address the topic of skin cancer awareness?
Very private. Very private.
What's your penis problem today? I see you're here at the urologist. You must have some sort of penis. And I also think, strangely, there's a lot of odd-looking people in the world. You're in the urologist's office, a lot of older men. For sure. And I just think, like, oh, man, this doctor's got to see all these weird-looking penises today.
Right. So now that comes back to you. These women, these doctors, are going to see a lot of weird-looking people. Yeah, that's true. And your body, I would think, is in better shape than most. I'm going to go, you like what you see here? Just don't follow it up with touch me.
Oh, so bizarre. Doctors are so, it's so strange. I wonder, do you think the doctors and nurses get used to it?
Yeah, I think it's a job. I do. I think at first, it's like anything, it's probably eye-opening. Yeah. But I do think it becomes work after a while. The one thing, and I understand why they go on strike. It's always funny to me though, and I am not, my niece is a nurse and I know she works her ass off and she really did it for all the right reasons.
My niece as well, a nurse. No doubt.
So all the love to the nurses and doctors out there. Without them, we're in trouble. I always find it just like disheartening when you see them on strike. Yeah. Like we're here to help the patients. Pay us! We need a raise.
I guess that's the only way they get leverage because... Yeah.
There's a way you can do it. You're right, but it's just... That's why I say it's disheartening. And I'm not saying I wouldn't do it either if I was unhappy with what I'm being paid. I hear you. But it's like... Yeah, it does feel weird. It's also kind of like someone, you know, needs care. And I guess legally you're not allowed to turn someone aside. But like someone needs care.
