Starting point is 00:00:00 The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is the greatest murder mystery in American history. That's Rob Breiner. Rob called me, so would Edo Brein and asked me what I knew about this crime. We'll ask who had the motive to assassinate a sitting president. Then we'll pull the curtain back on the cover-up. The American people need to know the truth. Listen to Who Kill JFK on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. My name is Payne Lindsay. Throughout my career, I've had the chance to travel all over the place, investigating true crimes, researching the unexplained, and I've been able to meet some of the most
Starting point is 00:00:40 truly interesting people, and I've decided to sit down with them and pick their brains. We're going to talk about life, death, unsolved crimes, the supernatural, there's something here, truly something going on. And honestly, just whatever the hell is on our minds. Wait a minute, it should be very happy you want. This is Talking to Death. New episodes of Talking to Death are available now. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On our new podcast, Two Crimes of John and Diana, returning our online investigative skills
Starting point is 00:01:10 to some of the most unexplained, unsolved, and most ignored cases. Police say 33-year-old f***ing was shot dead. Gunned down in front of his two-year-old daughter. It was a targeted attack. It appears to be an execution style of assassination. This is very active, so we have to be careful. Listen to two crimes with John and Diana,
Starting point is 00:01:29 every Wednesday on the I Heart Radio app, or wherever you get your podcast. How many times a day do you have to ask women and stirrups to scoot a little closer towards the end of the table? Oh, every single time. It's not an instinct that any woman wants to do. Well, I want to put a sign on the ceiling that says, go lower.
Starting point is 00:01:48 All right. Tosh show. Tosh show. Tosh show. Tosh show, Tosh show. Welcome to Tosh.0. Nope, wrong show. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Welcome to Tosh show. I'll be honest, sounds very similar. It's almost as if we're intentionally trying to be confusing. Yep. This show couldn't be more different. For example, no internet vids. Fine. Fewer internet vids. Thursday, partly sunny skies and 57.
Starting point is 00:02:22 And to another woman who likes to be double-fisted in a different way, I think, Jess. She means beer. She means beer. Guys, she means beer. Don't put me on YouTube. My God. Apparently, Channel Six's parent company is Pornhub. This is why we should have never started
Starting point is 00:02:41 paying women the same as men, because now they're acting like us and it's disgusting. You see on my old show, I would have put 20 seconds on the clock to make fun of this video. But now on a podcast, I can put three and a half hours on the clock, do a deep dive into why Jess is using alcohol
Starting point is 00:02:59 as a coping mechanism. Can we still play, is it racist? Of course. Of course we can play, is it racist. Christmas Carthie doesn't own racism. By the way, let me set the record straight about what happened over Comedy Central. Okay, they offered me a pile of cash to break my contract, and I did the end. I'm not mad though.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Because had that not happened, I wouldn't be here right now in this illegally built ADU in newly gentrified Baldwin Hills. The Lord works in mysterious ways. Real mysterious. Hosanna. The biggest difference between Toshio and Tosh.0 is that I will be wearing glasses occasionally and sitting down because it's a podcast and you're just listening. But you can also watch.
Starting point is 00:03:44 So it's pretty much the same show. Big difference. Chiming in off camera, way more than I'll ever feel comfortable with. It's my good friend and Tahoe neighbor Eddie. He co-created Tosh.0 and Tosh. Show. He's my Larry David. If Larry was slightly less funny and bought his jeans at Costco, which makes me Jerry
Starting point is 00:04:03 Seinfeld minus the Scientology phase and fear of performing in front of people under the age of 30. I'll do 45 minutes on the burden of white privilege at any college campus in this country. Okay? I'm not afraid to tackle the issues. What's Aaron Rogers take on Gaza? Looking it up. Don't look it up.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I know. I know the answer. He's on the wrong side. And yes, I'll still be talking about sports. The Miami dolphins having a great start this year. Six and three is played in Frankfurt, Germany. I was invited to that game by the team to fly with them. I said, no, because I don't do things seem like an awful idea. Go to Frankfurt. I was born near Frankfurt, Germany in bow part. It seemed like an awful idea. Go to Frankfurt. I was born near Frankfurt, Germany in Bhopard. It's like an hour and a half west.
Starting point is 00:04:49 I tell you, it was crazy though, watching a bunch of German Kansas City chiefs fans getting so excited to do the Tomahawk chop. It's like they just couldn't wait over there in Germany to do another racist arm gesture. Will I still be making fun of Nick Sabin? I'm not as much because he, like myself, is no longer relevant. Mostly this show will be my personal bullhorn to make sure Arn Anderson knows that our
Starting point is 00:05:15 feud is far from over. You hear me, Arn? Or is your mere clear run out of juice, you old fuck? Please subscribe so I can shove my out of touch coastal elite far left socialist opinions down your throat. All right, let's get started. I'm going to be interviewing people that I find interesting. So no celebrities, no comedians. Today, that person is my wife's gynecologist, which has to be every woman's nightmare for their husband to film a conversation
Starting point is 00:05:45 with their OB-GYN for the world to watch. Now in theory, being a guy in college just sounds like a dream job. But the reality is the vagina is a complete mystery. It's like an episode of Double Dare down there. And yes, I got my wife's permission to talk about her medical history. Carly, are you cool with me interview and doctor? Thank you for my podcast to talk about her medical history. Carly, are you cool with me interviewing Dr. Thanky for my podcast to talk about your lady
Starting point is 00:06:09 parts? Absolutely not. Yes, honey. Thank you. I probably shouldn't share as much about my wife as I'm going to, but we live in Malibu and she doesn't have to work, so I'm sure she'll get over it. Enjoy. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is the greatest murder mystery in American history.
Starting point is 00:06:26 That's Rob Breiner, Rob called me, Soledad O'Brien, and asked me what I knew about this crime. I know 60 years later, new leads are still emerging. To me, an award-winning journalist, that's the making of an incredible story. And on this podcast, you're going to hear it told by one of America's greatest storytellers. We'll ask who had the motive to assassinate a sitting president. My dad, 5JFK, screwed us at the Bay of Pigs, and then he screwed us after the Cuban Missile Crisis. We'll reveal why Lee Harvey Oswald isn't who they said he was. I was under the impression that Lee was being trained for a specific operation,
Starting point is 00:07:06 then we'll pull the curtain back on the cover-up. The American people need to know the truth. Listen to Who Killed JFK on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've got his fitness in Jackson. And I'm Charlie Webster, the podcast surviving alchapo, the twins who brought down a drug lord, returns for a second season and picks white back up with Pete and Jay Flores, taking their first steps on US soil after turning themselves into the US government.
Starting point is 00:07:38 When the plane landed, I think it was the first time I ever felt like, why are we doing this? You'll hear details from the twins 14-year prison sentence, and what it was like to go heads ahead against El Chapo in court. It was so ugly to be in a courtroom, I'm anxious, I'm worried, and I'm sick to my stomach. No matter what, whenever you're in my blood, you're still staring at me. Join 50 and I as we bring you the epic conclusion of this podcast. We'll bring you right up to date as the consequences of the twins' decisions now falls on their wives.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Maybe I don't know how you're looking up to 10 years in prison and that's a real number. Surviving no trouble. Listen to season two.

Starting point is 00:08:42 Yeah. Yes! And moments like this. I have an applause for you to come to space here. No. And my whole leg from my knee down in my foot burnt until it's full of big bubbles. And this, kale chips are delicious. They're too oily when I go.
Starting point is 00:08:57 They shouldn't be soft at all. They should be really crispy. That's what I said every single time. You are yelling at me. And this, do you want to go to the Clipper game with me tonight? Do you have 25 references of mutual friends that can tell me that you're not a murderer? And this.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Hold on, I got to open some peanut butter pretzels. Listen to Call Chelsea Paredion, Will Ferrell's big money players network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My guest today has been all up in my wife's guts. Literally, this man delivered both of my children, please welcome my wife's gynecologist, OPGY, and Dr. Finke. How are you? I'm well, thank you for having me. First question I ask all my guests.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Do you believe in ghosts? No. Okay. Jesus Christ, it took you so long. Your doctor for God's sake. I had to qualify. Thank you for agreeing to do this. Let me tell you something in all honesty. This is the reason I agreed to do this show.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I heard was like, will you do the show? And I'm like, I don't know. I don't wanna interview comedians. I don't wanna interview celebrities. But like if you let, and I said this, I swear to you. I said, if you let me interview like my wife's kind of collegeist, like then I'll do the show. And they're like, well, yeah, but that won't ever happen.
Starting point is 00:10:22 He probably won't let you. And I'm not that interesting. You know, you're extremely interesting. By the way, what should I call you? Do I have to say Dr. Finkhi, well, yeah, but that won't ever happen. He probably won't let you. And I'm not that interesting. You know, you're extremely interesting. By the way, what should I call you? Do I have to say, Dr. Finky, David, or do you, I usually just call you Finky. My whole life, people have called me Finky.
Starting point is 00:10:33 It's a great name. I have no idea why. I'm the youngest of four kids. So when I went through life, it was just, oh, there's Finky, it works. It's a good name, and I like it. How long have you been a doctor? Oh God, I graduated med school in 2006.
Starting point is 00:10:46 From where? University of Missouri, Kansas City. And how does that get you into Beverly Hills? That's a very good question. I have no idea. You basically, at the end of residency, you interview all around the country and then you put in your rankings
Starting point is 00:11:00 and then it goes through a match system. There's match day and everyone goes in an auditorium and med school's around the country, you open up your envelope and you see where you matched. And I happen to match it at Seaters in Los Angeles. Did your peers were they jealous? Is it gonna, I assume it's competitive. Yeah, no, it is. It's very competitive. I was very happy to land where I landed.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And I'll be honest, I didn't know that much about LA. I came out here to interview, but other than that, I'd never been to Los Angeles before. Did you adjust immediately or no? Yeah, you like it. I think so, yeah. Would you ever go back to Missouri to live and work? I wouldn't like write it off the table.
Starting point is 00:11:37 The chances are probably slim. Where in Missouri are you from? A town of 6,000 people called Richmond, Missouri. It's about an hour outside of Kansas City. Which is the shitty or part of Kansas City? The Missouri side or the Kansas side? Oh, the Kansas side. Is it, that's noticeable?
Starting point is 00:11:52 Everywhere you wanna be is on the Missouri side. When did you come out? Oh, I would say I fell out. You were born gay. Yeah. Can you eyeball it in a child? I go back to pictures in my parents' house, in the attic, and stuff, and I'm like, I mean, they were headless if they didn't know.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Were your parents supportive? Very. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. Were they confused at the field of medicine that you went into? Oh, probably.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Why would you pick the vagina? Viginas picked me. I knew I didn't want to do it. So in medical school, you go through your rotations and you put in your lot for when you want to do certain rotations and I was like, well, I don't want to do that. So put it at the end of the year. And then you do, I did general surgery.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And then after that, I did OBGYN and I liked it. You know, a lot of professions, even in Hollywood, it's very progressive. If you're out, a lot of times people feel like roles aren't given to them that should be. But I feel in your profession, has it worked to your advantage? I think so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:57 It has. That's good. That's good. I do. I do. I do. There's one job where it works in your advantage. I think that women feel comfortable,
Starting point is 00:13:05 or at least I hope they do, and I feel like I try to be more sensitive or empathic, just because I don't know what they're going through. I mean, multiple times a day, I tell people I'm so happy I don't have ovaries. They mess up, they do a lot of weird things. I mean, the vagina's very tricky. Talk about the paradox of being a gay man who stares at vaginas all day.
Starting point is 00:13:27 It's probably the most common topic that comes up at gay parties. Do women ever corner you at parties and say, hey, can you look at this for a second? Has that ever happened? Not look at this. No. What about, do women ever send you, like, friends of yours, ever send you, like, badge picks, text message? To be like, hey, should I, what about this?
Starting point is 00:13:52 We have a patient portal. We have to re-read that. We have to re-read that. We have to re-read that. I'm talking about a close friend that, like, you know, when we all have a close friend, we're like, oh, we can just bypass this portal. What's your stance on a grooming?
Starting point is 00:14:04 Are you, do you care? I don't care and I don't remember. Now my wife did laser hair removal early on in our relationship per my request. And now she kind of regrets it on some level. But like to me, that seems like it's an easier situation to deal with as a doctor down there. Do you mind if a woman has just got a big, huge,
Starting point is 00:14:21 hairy bush, is that acceptable? It doesn't bother me one way or another. I see all the problems with lasers and waxing and shaving and the ingrowns and ingrown hairs. That's why you go laser hair removal. Well, you can get all those ingrown hairs and everything during the laser process. Also, you know, the vagina has a microbiome
Starting point is 00:14:40 and it has oily glands and things that keep it healthy. And you rip all those hairs off and try to get rid of all the moisture and everything that should be there. And then you're more prone to get yeast infections and you're more prone to get bacterial vaginosis. You ever seen a blue waffle? Do you know what it is? Do you know what it is? No.
Starting point is 00:15:02 The beginning of the internet when the internet got like real crazy in the beginning, it was like one of these first things. It was like an infected vagina and it was called a blue waffle okay it was like it was a form of a disease. What was it? Blue waffle is an internet hoax. Some claim that it is a sexual transmitted infection that turns the vagina area blue. Okay you've ever seen a blue vagina infected? Only on a smurf. No, okay. How much K-Y do you guys go through in your office a day? Oh, boat loads. Yeah. How many times a day do you have to ask women and stirrups
Starting point is 00:15:31 to scoot a little closer towards the end of the table? Oh, every single time. It's not an instinct that any woman wants to do. Well, I want to put a sign on the ceiling that says, go lower. All right. Here's one question my wife wanted. How about a new device for pap smears that's not so primitive and horrific?
Starting point is 00:15:49 This is the way it goes in. Cranks, right? Is it, I don't know what it is. Am I wrong? No, yeah. So most commonly people use a speculum. There's usually a hinged by bowel, you know, it's a speculum. So it opens the vagina. There are people who have tried to invent new speculums
Starting point is 00:16:08 that are more comfortable. I have tried to do that, and I guess maybe I had a bad patent attorney because he said that the family who owns the speculum patent, he said they have it locked down. You can't make a modification to it, you cannot change it. And though and behold, now there's a company out there that made a speculum that I had literally designed probably 12 years ago.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Look at this. You had shitty lawyers. I think so. I think so. Are you rich? You're not rich. No. I don't understand this.
Starting point is 00:16:39 If you want to get into your line of work, what's the average range people are getting in, around 300,000 a year? Like entry level. That's probably the high end. That's the high end for entry level. And now that the top of the spectrum, what can a doctor like that expect to make? Can they pull in 700,000 a year? Yeah, potentially more.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Okay. If you work really, really hard, I'm working very, very hard. Uh-huh. I don't know. I just want you to be rich. Or richer. I'm just about to pay off my student loans. It's serious? I months away. I thought they were going to forgive those.
Starting point is 00:17:16 No, Biden didn't do that. Medical question. Is it possible to make any girl squirt? To find squirt? Squirt? Well, I don't know to what level I have to define it. You know, well, some people can like, like, project, it's not urine, right? It's quite a smart.
Starting point is 00:17:35 That's not pain, that's squirt. No. No. Across a room, like, they, and I've never been able to do it. I'll say that openly. That's never been a thing. I've never, no one's ever accused me being good in a room. Like, they, and I've never been able to do it. I'll say that openly. That's never been a thing. I've never, no one's ever accused me
Starting point is 00:17:47 of being good in a bedroom. I don't even know if it is being good in a bedroom, but some girls projectile a jackulate. I'm not sure that's a thing. No, no, no, it's a thing. I'd be the wrong person to ask them. I know. Well, come on, you should know if it exists.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I mean, there's gotta be, all right. Now, I won't get back to that one one day. I'm gonna have you on the show again. When you get breast exams, is it hard to come up with small talk with each patient? Not at all. Oh, what about horrible boob jobs? Oh, yeah, I've seen a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:18:20 It's just, I mean, you're just like, oh, I mean, no. About your business? I've had someone just like, oh, I mean, I know about your business. I've had a someone just was years ago. And I, it had to have been back before they did implants. And a patient went to a surgeon probably in the seven days, or so. I have no idea who just injected her breast with silicone. So there were just balls of silicone, like
Starting point is 00:18:44 flowing around in, like, well, they get stuck, they get a silicone. So there were just balls of silicone like floating around. No, like while they get stuck, they get scarred down and she was just, you know, she hated it today. But her husband loved it. I never asked her. Let's talk about birth plans. What's some of the craziest shit you've had to deal with in the delivery room a lot? Was there a pun in there?
Starting point is 00:19:01 No. Oh, no, no, there wasn't. I was just serious. I just assume people come up with birth plans like if this is what I want to happen. This is how I want it to go and then you have to be like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right fucking Knock it off. I I try to get people to keep it to a page Mm-hmm. I try to explain to people that they're in control of mostly everything the room the lighting the lights the music
Starting point is 00:19:24 Who gets to come in and out of the room at various points, whether or not they have students or residents involved versus the midwife team. But yeah, there wasn't nothing absurd ever jump out now. And not that I can think of. I mean, have you ever had butted a doula? No, but I had to come to Jesus talk with one. I was actually covering for another doctor
Starting point is 00:19:44 and so I had never really met the patient before I go and while she was in labor to meet her, and the woman, the patient, was just beside herself. She could as a crawling up the walls, and that doula was like, no, you didn't wanna do that you're not gonna do this. This is not what you wanted, and the husband's giving me funny glances,
Starting point is 00:20:01 and they could not tell this doula that they didn't wanna keep doing it this way. Hold her out into the hallway and it said, we're gonna reassess here. Everything I'm seeing in that room says she's changed her mind. And she did, she got it up a girl, relaxed, the baby was delivered three, four hours later
Starting point is 00:20:17 and they were very happy. You delivered our son, my first born, not successfully, you failed. We were supposed to do a traditional birth and that didn't happen after like 12 hours of labor. Now, is it true? It's because of my genetics and my enormous head. It is.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I tell people that I have a huge head and they're like, oh, but it doesn't look that big and I'm like, whatever, that's it. But I wear a size eight fitted hat, which is like the most ridiculous, largest hat you can wear. So yes, my kid had a huge head and my wife's a small woman. She came in hot, though.
Starting point is 00:20:48 I mean, she was in active labor, doing it naturally, no epidural. Right. And I'm thinking, this is going to be like a couple more hours. And then I think an hour later, she was complete. She was tense and we didn't have an epidural pushed like a champ. And the head did not budge. No, that's when you started moving. Having a parade of people come in and take a gander,
Starting point is 00:21:13 a second opinion. What percentage of women poop during labor? It's a lot. I mean, if you're pushing well, there's a lot of times poop's gonna come out. I mean, I'm sure she doesn't want me to talk about this, but these are things that some men, like, oh, if I ever saw that,
Starting point is 00:21:29 I'd never be able to look at my wife. Like, that doesn't affect me in the least. I wouldn't be a problem for me there. Okay, but the real problem with my wife was the concern of her bleeding disorder. She has Von Willough-Brands, and so we're always concerned about her bleeding out in dine. That was a big concern at the beginning,
Starting point is 00:21:47 but then you pulled it off so successfully, made everything good, now I have children. Ugh, and a wife, and you saved all of them. What's the appropriate amount of weight a woman should gain during a pregnancy? It depends on the starting weight. If she starts off at 200, you just want to maintain your weight. Right, you don't want her to gain a pound.
Starting point is 00:22:08 You can gain a pound. Okay, but not a lot of weight. Not 40 pounds. Right, but if you're 105 to start, 25. I love hearing that. Oh, oh, oh, 25, he says. And how long do you give him to bounce back? Oh, it's hard to lose weight while your breastfeed.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Oh, is it? It is. Oh, cause your body, I mean, your body doesn't want to die. So you don't want to starve. So the moment you start losing weight, the body's like, wait, why are we losing weight? How can we stop the weight loss? So the first thing you do is cut off the milk supply.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Ah, all right. Most people can't lose weight and produce a lot of breast milk. Biggest baby ever delivered. Ooh, 12-6. All right, that's pretty big. You ever deliver Siamese twins? Can you say Siamese anymore?
Starting point is 00:22:56 Or is that racist? Is Siamese racist? I don't think I'd say it. All right, no, you can't. You have to say conjoined. But, what is Siamese? I don't even, I honestly don't know what it is. Do you?
Starting point is 00:23:07 No. Do you looking it up? You're looking it up, are you ever delivered conjoined twins? No, most conjoined twins, I will tell you, they're very rare, but most are conjoined in a way that don't survive. Either, you know, pass the first trimester or there's not going to be compatible with life and patients choose not to proceed. Yeah. Well, that's, that's on them. That is on them. I got the Siamese twin answer for you. Okay, go ahead. Cheing and Ang Bunker. They were brothers that were conjoined and just became known as Siamese twins because they were Siamese Americans. Oh, so it was just, it was a race of people.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Yeah. So who were the first in the U.S. So did his races to got it. All right, live and learn. That's what I'm here for. I'm not afraid to evolve. Does your husband love that you don't bring your work home with you?
Starting point is 00:24:01 Okay. Do you like babies? I do like babies. Yeah. Do you have children? No. Do you like babies? I do like babies. Yeah. Do you have children? Nope. Do you want children? Nope. I know.
Starting point is 00:24:10 It's very Republican of you. They're very aware about when they're in the womb, but once they're out, they're on their own. I would call it an environmentalist position. Fair. What's your stance on abortion? Pro. In a pinch, could you do an abortion?
Starting point is 00:24:24 I could. You could. That's interesting. One time I was eavesdropping on you because your walls and your office are really thin. And you were, a woman was talking about if she should circumcise her son. And you seem to kind of just be a little bit of a yes-man
Starting point is 00:24:42 if I'm being honest. Like, you weren't pushing one way or the other. But I didn't circumcise my son, and I'm circumcised, but I was circumcised by a doctor who didn't do circumcisions. Well, no, didn't do, I was in Germany, I was born in Germany.
Starting point is 00:24:56 And my mom, who was a nurse, just kind of like talked the doctor through it. Oh, and she's like, oh, it wasn't good. Like, like it was bad. And she goes all the way, oh. Are you happy with it? No, no, oh, it wasn't good. Like, like it was bad. And she goes all the way. Oh, are you happy with it? No, no, no, of course I would have rather have, but you don't, all right, which, what is your stance?
Starting point is 00:25:10 Do, should people get their baby circumcised yesterday? No. It's personal preference. Why is it a personal preference? It is personal preference. Why shouldn't you just not do it? Why shouldn't you just not do it? Right.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Why cut off your skin? Oh, well, so I get it. I mean, I don't know, you know, I work at a Jewish hospital. There's a lot of we do a lot of circumcisions. I know. I'm circumcised. I'm not Jewish. I don't find one way about it pro-orcon. I, people get very heated about it. I know. If you go to the American College of Obu-Guy and conventions, the nationwide conventions, there used to be the abortion supporters, like I get it, they have their cause, they have to make their point known.
Starting point is 00:25:50 But in recent years, the circumcision crowds have been much bigger than the abortion pro-life crowds, which I just found fascinating. Yeah, I find that fast. I don't care to the point of protest. It's a great, I just more feel more feels a good conversation, but I got another bone to pick with you. For both of my children, I paid this VIP experience of $5,000 extra dollars for a back line. And I'm positive. I received no VIP treatment. It wasn't $5,000,
Starting point is 00:26:21 but what was it? Each delivery at that time, I think it was probably $2,500. I swear to God, it was $5,000. It wasn't all right. I believe you, but. It's currently $3,500. Would you ever think about going a little more private? Well, so I mean, that's kind of where medicine's going is really tricky.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I mean, insurance companies have not increased our reimburse rates for over 20 years. With inflation, the cost of rent employees now, we pay our employees well, they stick with us. But the bottom line keeps shrinking. I mean, my patients have hard working jobs. They earn, they will, you're an exception. Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:00 But they earn their insurance and they pay a lot for it. So we feel like we wanna, I wanna keep taking it. But at some point, you kinda have to like slow down the growth of your practice. And so that's one of the ways I've been able to do it with it's called an OB administrative fee. If you come to my office now and it's your first pregnancy or you've never seen me before,
Starting point is 00:27:19 I require it. If you're an existing patient and you want special perks, like not sitting in the waiting room or making an appointment, you know, when the office is closed or... That's what we liked. We were at the 830 time slot. There you go. And now, by the way, I have a cell phone number of yours. Is it your real cell phone number or no?
Starting point is 00:27:39 It's probably real. For a time, I had a Google voice number that would forward to my real number. Oh, but I don't think you know there was a so my phone number was a Missouri number. It's an 816 and the hospital would frequently dial 818 and the rest of my number. And there was a person who would answer the phone and we'd get called at three in the morning. I mean, I'd be pissed too, right? The hospital is like, what should we do with this? And he started answering that.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I like this guy. No. Ethically it's wrong, sure. But at some point you're allowed to answer. I had a doctor if enough people think you're a doctor. I couldn't, I was like, he starts giving advice over the phone. He also, a patient of mine had texted the number and the person replied,
Starting point is 00:28:29 well, that's probably safe, but it could kill your baby. And that was a dumb text. And he didn't know what to do and didn't know how to bring it up with me. He thought, I had texted it. So at one kind of awkward appointment, he's asking me, like, what I meant by this text message, I'm thinking, what are you talking about? I never texted that and he was typing in the A.V.A. That's why you tell him to go through the portal. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:55 That's insanity. Top five grossest celebrity vaginas go. You see a lot of celebrities? I bear a number, I'll be honest. I know you don't know that who they are. I kinda don't wanna know a lot of the times because I think you might act differently or something, but I've caught myself in very awkward situations
Starting point is 00:29:19 where you go through the whole consult in person in my office, we go down to doing the exam. And when you're putting in a speculum, you want to ask questions or make it somewhat conversational. This is what do you do? Oh, I'm a writer. Oh, what are you right? Like, what kind of stuff?
Starting point is 00:29:34 It's like, oh, I created a TV show. And then they say the TV show and then I feel like an idiot. Do you ever use slang terms for vagina? Or do you only say vagina? For a vagina. Oh, you say VJ? That's it. Not coolie cod.
Starting point is 00:29:47 You ever use coolie cod? Nope, that's a new one. You also are the, the, the GYN for Pete in here's wife, Sam. Yep. So you've seen Sam's vagina and my wife's vagina. Who's is better? Who's vagina is better? My wife's or Pete's. I told you I don't remember. Hmm. You told Pete, as his wife is childless, she's 35. You told her that she has plenty of time.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Now, how old are you comfortable with women having babies currently? I mean, I've delivered women in their 50s. Biblically? What the fuck? I eat. I eat. I eat. I eat.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I eat. I eat. I eat. I mean, I've delivered women in their 50s. Biblically, what the fuck? You know, I think that a lot of the times people don't really fully get some of the complications that can happen because you're 52. This is the first time you're becoming pregnant. That said, you know, we know how to take care of women who are high risk, we're not afraid of it, and when people want a family,
Starting point is 00:30:49 they'll do anything to get it. And my job is to make sure that it's safe and everyone's healthy. 52, huh? That seems old. All right. Knowing how much it takes to upkeep and maintain the vagina, how thankful are you that you're a man? the vagina, how thankful are you that you're a man? I always tell people it's a self-cleaning oven, leave it alone. Huh, leave the vagina alone? Yes. Why then do some vaginas just smell to high heavens? Well, I think a lot of it has to do with what we do to change nature. And when we get rid of nature, then more opportunistic bacteria can overgrow. And so sometimes you'll get a smell that's slightly off. I'll be honest, the worst thing
Starting point is 00:31:33 about being a gynecologist is feet. Is feet? Feet. Feet are right in your face. You're like up in stirrups. And you're just like feet. So someone comes in in the summer, they were in Tori-Bert shoes, but they don't wear socks, right?
Starting point is 00:31:47 And their feet stink, and they're like right in front of your face. I was all told you once while you were examining my wife, I was like, I had my fingers inside of a woman, and I could feel something pokey. And I asked you if it was the IUD, and had slipped down, and I was you if it was the IUD and had slipped down and I was actually touching it because I felt like a sharp needle,
Starting point is 00:32:10 is that truth, is that what I was feeling? What was I touching? It's the strings of the IUD. This was sharp and hard. It would be like the end of like a fishing line. Uh huh. Like, Poki. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:23 That is exactly what it's like. Like this fishing line. Couldn, that's a fixed fishing line. Wouldn't that pop a condom? No. Huh. I don't like anything sharpened, Poki pointing at me. I trim the strings inside the cervix, so you shouldn't be able to feel them if I put it in.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I'm not, my days of IUDs are over. You need to give me the names of for the surgery, the little SNP. I need to do that. Oh, the insect. Yeah, I have to do that immediately. Should have already done it. You know, you know, we wanted to make sure the baby was like healthy and I don't know. If they make it eight months, I feel like, all right, this kid should live forever. That's my thinking. It's a good, good, lofty goal. Uh-huh. Well, this is my goal. Keep them alive. I've got a squirting answer. What, what's your squirting answer? So, this squirting is the expulsion of urine during an orgasm. Female ejaculation is release of both urine and a substance from the
Starting point is 00:33:25 skeens glands. I like uh-huh okay. All right. So it's so it's so they are pee in all over your place. Yeah. That's what I've learned. They're peeing. According to WebMD. After you delivered my son, I gave you a gift to the Tomoko Japanese spa. You did. Okay. You said thank you. I think when I gave it to you, fine, but you never talked about it ever after that. You did. Okay, you said thank you. I think when I give it to you, fine. But you never talked about it ever after that. Now, did you actually go? It was great. Did you went?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yes. Did you do the thing where it was for the two people with the sushi? With the sushi? You did it, package. Yes. I felt like you didn't do it. It was for my husband's birthday.
Starting point is 00:34:02 We did it like after the pandemic had. So you, we didn't do it before. Used my gift as your birthday. It acted like it was yours. I did. No, he knew it. He knew it. He knew it was it was a gift. Okay, but that brings me to the, I give everybody this, I guess, to my show a gift, but I don't buy them anything. I just take something from my house that I don't want my house anymore. I just give it to him. It's very nice. It can be nice, but do you remember what I asked for you to do on our second child? No.
Starting point is 00:34:33 When you were gonna have the surgery, I said, what did you need to fix? Oh, the smirk, smirk. Yeah, because we had that emergency C section the first time, and I felt like that it was like a little bit of a smirk. Like the scar was a little bit of a smirk. Again, she doesn't heal well because of the bleeding
Starting point is 00:34:49 disorder, so it's gonna be there forever. And there's no hair because the laser hair removal too much information. But anyway, so I'm just staring at the smirk. I was like, hey, could you fix that? I'm not positive if you fixed it. Now it's more like a weird, crazy joke or smile. So the bandages are over her scar.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Her mother came out, was with us. And when you removed the bandages from her scar, my wife's mother said, oh wow, Stephanie's scar is a lot smaller. That's her son's wife. That was the first thing it was said. That was the first thing that my wife heard as bandages were being removed.
Starting point is 00:35:25 So I, for my wife's first mother's day, got her coffee mug. She loves coffee. Nice, heath ceramics coffee mugs and had it put in on it. Oh wow, Stephanie scars a lot smaller and then mother's supporting mothers written underneath it. And that was her mother's day gift. She thought it was funny. It's very appropriate. It was silly. It was, ah, ah, ah, then my mother-in-law visits and she gets rid of defaces the mugs.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Yeah. So I get upset, but she didn't know, but I had already taken a photo of it. So the next time she visited in our guest house I had I had this name I had this name Right and this hung above our guest room so every time she had a sleep This was in and this has been there for four years and I'm passing this on to you. So this is now. Oh been there for four years. And I'm passing this on to you. So this is now your Oh, great. I don't know. I don't know if you have space for it. But I've got the
Starting point is 00:36:33 perfect place for it. What's it like just always being on call? I I've never been actually diagnosed with IBS, but I've shit myself way more than I ever want to admit. So I need a schedule. I need shit myself way more than I ever want to admit. So I need a schedule. I need to know what my day is gonna be like. The stress that you must go through of knowing like, oh, I have to wake up and go to the hospital right now. That's absurd.
Starting point is 00:36:57 It's a lot. I mean, I think it's one of the main reasons people stop doing OBE at a certain point in their career. I mean, the way I do it is in how 90% of physicians across the country do it, or even the world, what you just don't answer, you keep your phone on silent. No, sleep. No, I mean, most places there's one doctor who's on call for the whole group. And that person does all the deliveries overnight or for 24-hour period so that everyone else
Starting point is 00:37:24 can sleep and be in the office the next day and not look awful. But you are waking up occasionally in the middle of the night. Yeah, all the time. All the time. And that how annoying for your husband, like he didn't sign up for that. He's gotten used to it.
Starting point is 00:37:40 He did not like it in the beginning. Right, but it's kind of good. I mean, when he's there, it's helpful. He travels a lot. But when he's there, it's helpful because I, from like 10, 30 PM to 1, 30 AM, I get a tornado could be going by, and I'm very difficult to wake up.
Starting point is 00:37:59 What time do you go to bed normally? 9, 30. Uh-huh. I'm right there with you. What time do you wake up? I mean, sometimes I'll wake up before 4am and be going the whole day. You mean hobbies? Do you exercise?
Starting point is 00:38:10 I work out with a trainer two to three days a week. Saturday, Sunday for sure, potentially Monday. There's babies are born at like, if they're born between like 3am and 4am, 2 to 2.30 to 4, it's's the we call it the witching hour. Cause then it's like 4 30 approaching 5. And it's like, well, now what do I do? I don't have to be in the office until 9
Starting point is 00:38:34 or I don't have to be into the operating room until 7 15. And so a lot of times you just push through, you start your workout. Because if you go to bed at 5 and you wake up at 6 30, you're on Mars. No, you're wrong. It's awful. I take sleep anywhere I can get it. Oh no. Just go back to bed. Any sleep is better than no sleep. Depends on where you are in the room and the act.
Starting point is 00:38:53 If I wake up on Mars, I'd much rather just push through the whole morning. I'll ask you this because I was having a conversation with a man who happened to be a gay man and I brought up, he's married, I brought up monogamy and he laughed in my face saying that's not a thing in gay relationships and I said that's insane. I go, I know tons of, I said I go, I know tons of gay men that are in monogamous marriages and he says no you don't and the was, he was right, I don't.
Starting point is 00:39:26 I just assume that I do. Are you in a monogamous relationship? I am. Have you always been? Yes. See, I just don't want anything. I don't want any STDs. But it is a rarity.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Not to over generalize in a little bit. To be monogamous in a male relationship. I think it's that rare. You think you're that unique. I think it's common. I just think that guy hangs out with tons of wild sex freaks. It's possible. I don't want the stress of another relationship. That's my fear.
Starting point is 00:40:00 I agree. The one or two upsides of a relationship is like, okay, I don't have to stress about, you know, somebody else. Well, and I'm too busy to have another relationship. You like to travel? Love to travel. Where's your favorite places to go? The Maldives. Oh god, it takes so long to get there. I've never been, but that's too long. That's a whole day of traveling. Well, no, I mean, you go to, you hop to like Tokyo, you stay one or two nights in Tokyo, then you hop to Singapore and Singapore, maldi.
Starting point is 00:40:30 You fly first class the whole way? On points. Oh, okay, I don't care how you get there. You don't have to act like you're an everyday man. You're not. We also, I book all my travel 330 days in advance. That's so funny, because you know exactly when you're gonna be free,
Starting point is 00:40:46 because you have to tell these women nine months in advance, I'm not gonna be here. Isn't it weird that you affect people's sex life? Like, people have sex around your schedule. It's a little weird. People, I think people do. No, no, we definitely do. There's like, there's like no scenario
Starting point is 00:41:02 where we're ever gonna have a baby in March. Is that when you leave? It's a popular time to leave. Yep. Yeah. Where does a woman's pee come out? Right under the clearest? And right above the vaginal opening.
Starting point is 00:41:15 It's always confused me. It's always confused me. Well, honestly, I hope I'm never in your office again. I am not offended. But I thank you very much for being on the show, Dr. Finkie. Thank you for having me. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is the greatest murder mystery in American history.

I just start a real hostile conversation
Starting point is 00:45:47 in front of my son. My son, who is now four and less cute than he was at three. But when he was three, his voice was so cute the way he would mispronounce words. And I said to myself, I'm gonna really miss this when he gets older. This, this, just this sweetness, the voice. And so every night, I would ask him to tell me a bedtime story.
Starting point is 00:46:12 And I would record it. And I thought it'd be a cute thing to have this library of all these stories. So from time to time, I'm going to let you hear one of my son's bedtime stories. I hope you like it. There's a good chance you won't because it's a child making up a story and it's not your kid, so it's not interesting to you. But it's only a minute long.
