Transcripts
hello and welcome to con O'Brien needs a
fan uh this is a bit unusual this is the
podcast where usually I speak to a fan
around the world or in the United States
anywhere someone uh who I connect with
and uh it's a lot of fun but I wanted to
use this slot today to do something
quite different um as some of you
listening may know recently I appeared
on a show called Hot ones and it got a
lot of attention uh and got a lot of
people talking I'm I'm told my behavior
was a little unusual for hot ones and
everyone has a million questions the
question I get the most about my
appearance on that show other than did
you have to go to the hospital
afterwards is what's with your
doctor Dr aroyo I believe I'm the
first uh person to show up with a
physician who uh looked after me because
um there were some concerns about my
health I was a little concerned so the
day before my appearance I contacted my
doctor and said would you be present and
uh you were and a lot of people are
talking about you Dr ro royal well I
actually consider this a follow-up visit
because uh you looked a little
distressed at the end there and uh I was
distressed yeah yeah yeah were you
concerned well first of of all I want to
before we talk about the hot ones I'd
like people to understand just how we
met um uh because we have an interesting
uh meeting how how we first discovered
one another do you want to talk about it
at all okay um I was walking by the uh
the myo clinic and um and uh excuse me
Dr Roy I think it's called Mayo Clinic I
think it's Mayo you don't say Sinco de
Mayo
so I was walking by the Mayo Clinic and
I heard I want a second opinion and I
ran in and it was
you now at the time you were not dressed
as a doctor no and I said are you a
doctor and you paused for a while to be
honest okay yes I did pause and said yes
I am a doctor well I thought you were
asking if doctor was my given name okay
no
I said no it's not okay but um I did go
to to a doctor's School I've you went to
a what a doctor's School medical school
yes to medical school yes okay
um there was some comments I mean this
video on hot ones has been seen like 9
million by times I see and a lot of the
comments
are uh this doctor doesn't seem some
people were questioning whether you KN
I'm just telling you what I've read
that's all right I know you don't read
comments well well people were saying
I'm not sure he knows what he's doing oh
my gosh no I'm just I'm just saying I
would like to talk to those 9 million
people because that would take a while
well and understood understood but I
have time um I I think
I'm what there seems to be a question
about whether or not I attended doctor
school and I did medical school medical
school
it was not in the country I I grant you
it was not in the continental United
States but I did attend can you tell us
exactly where it was that you attended
uh as what you what you prefer to seem
to call doctor School doctor school I
did uh I I cannot say without returning
a lot of money because I was paid very
generously not to reveal where I went to
medical school so that's why I keep it I
see yeah but I did
graduate okay at the top top 100% of my
class
I you can look it up okay if you ever
find it yeah um I have noticed you have
been my physician out here in Los
Angeles now for about seven
years um I have brought up many times I
could come by I could swing by your
office and you have always said that's
not a good idea that's right and you
prefer to
meet um like in a restaurant or
sometimes outside a restaurant is there
is there a
reason that you don't like me to come to
your office yes there is I'm in between
offices right now I'm still I've been
with you for seven years yes I know it's
been it's been a while uh I um I go all
over the city I have I have I figured
well instead of the patients coming to
me why don't I just meet the patients
closer to where they are it's less
stressful we but I've also brought up
you could come to my house
and that's called a house call you know
yes yes and you always say um there's
this restaurant yes downtown exactly and
we could meet outside that restaurant
yes and then I they allow us to use the
restroom in that restaurant so for o you
know for for full exams we can there's
the mirrors there's a counter there's a
baby changing station there's a lot of
equipment in that restroom that we can
use is I um it's interesting because I
have uh and Sona is here my assistant
and she knows very well that I have uh I
work with an accounting firm business
manager it's all quite sophisticated the
billing with you is a little strange
because I right I mean I get so many I
have I have a therapist I have someone
who works on my back I have a dentist
and it's all paid you know through um CH
you he wants cash right yes you always
insist on cash I prefer cash yes yes um
it's just the way I do business there's
less paperwork there's less accounting
uh the IRS doesn't know a thing uh the
IRS is completely ignorant about my
about my uh business practices and the
IRS will never track down how many how
many people hear millions millions and
millions of people hear this but the I
PE millions and millions of people hear
this some people from the IRS are
listening right now I see I see yeah
okay um okay well we we'll we we'll
we'll edit that out right we do make
some edits so that may be one of them
okay say I uh what is
your out the
S just the
S Dr Royo do you have a specialty in
medicine is there a field that you're
more interested in than other
fields I mean do you have a specialty in
comedy I mean or are you kind of an
allaround very funny man well I don't
think it's applies I think comedians can
be did you go to a college to be funny I
don't think so you are just funny and
you learn by experience and I learn by
experience I learn my practice medical
practice every day that I practice
medicine I get better every day okay and
uh I'm a wonderful uh first opinion if
if you if you want a good first
opinion for any medical thing yeah come
to me medical thing any any medical
thing any medical thing whatsoever in
you know inside there was some I'll tell
you there was in couple things that
happened during the hot ones appearance
that I want to say raise some eyebrows
in the medical community okay at one
point I was complaining about the heat
of the sauce
yes yeah you um and this is documented
it's been on the internet all over the
place you applied a stethoscope to my
tongue yes
yes is there medically what did that
tell you in that moment oh well I was
listening for any kind of aberation any
kind of weird um thing you know and uh
basically I I listen to your tongue and
and I didn't hear any screaming I didn't
hear anything unusual just sounded it
was a dead actually it was just almost
nothing so I thought you're fine okay
cuz if there was no screaming were you
attempted at all to place it uh on my
chest to listen to uh heart
rhythm no
because is that just that that's you
think that's some sort of medical
quackery it's just I don't want after
your tongue i' put it on there I don't
want it okay you did something else
where um I think there was some concern
I think you wanted to take my pulse
yes it looked to just about everyone
that's viewed the video as if you were
choking my neck oh and that is a very un
I have to say very few people my bad my
bad I thought you said take my pulse
like take it
away that's what I was trying to
do Do no harm yeah of being the
hypocritic oath the first rule is hypoc
ratic Hippocratic okay nothing um uh
there's an oath yeah that you most
people know that have gone to um
medicine School doctor School apologies
for not knowing the correct
terminology uh yeah no so you in that
moment thought that I said take my pulse
meaning deprive me of circulation yes I
that's I I I was doing what you asked me
to do and then you corrected me and said
no no and then I had to cut you lightly
yeah but uh okay do you have tell me
about some of your other uh patients I
know that when we meet I never first of
all you have no office no office when we
you like to be paid in cash I do I do we
uh we meet outside uh a restaurant
restaurant yes downtown and eventually
go inside where you're insistent on
using the bathroom for a long period of
time alone um and often I hear what
sounds like bathing in there
but you can't really bathe in a sink can
you I have to have to stay clean and uh
and the bathroom is the perfect place to
do that okay and then um but I I don't
know if you see other are you seeing
other uh patients I would be I'd be
violating my Hippocratic Oath if I told
you is that the
way and also I would be my oath of uh uh
I would be violating confidentiality
confidentiality confidentiality you any
other celebrity clients yeah that's a
good question uh I I do a lot of um a
lot of players on the NBA I do uh a lot
of uh I don't I can't I can't you can't
really get into it can I say as as your
assistant anytime I've had to schedule
an appointment with him it's been very
easy I would say you're very available
ABS I am very available you can always
anytime you have my my cell phone number
and uh and I I'm also always on the road
so I can always you know come get to the
restaurant quickly and so on you
solicited an appointment with me out

came to me we've never met I did I did I
walked out of that um mobile pet
grooming van and I saw you and I said uh
you you could use a
checkup you I'm just what I have to say
Sona brings up a really good point which
is your availability I about 6 months
ago butt dialed you accidentally yes at
4 in the morning I didn't know who I was
calling uh I heard you and the sound of
a
bus um it sounded like someone was
ordering you off the bus
oh um you something about you can't
sleep here that's right that's right and
um you said I'm available for an
appointment and now would be a good time
I said no I butt dialed you that's right
that's right um and I couldn't I
couldn't meet you because they kicked me
off the bus but uh I don't consider it
sleeping on a bus I consider it uh
self-induced coma that I um take you did
what you had to do yes um can you tell
the audience is going to be curious and
my fans um you know they adore me and
they constantly pray for my well-being
yes just assume okay can you maybe talk
a little bit about your assessment of my
physical condition you know I give you
permission to by the way I don't want to
uh I don't want to violate the oath you
clearly earn learned maybe eight seconds
ago um little quip just a little that's
a little ribbing between we all okay
okay
um because you didn't you really didn't
seem to know what it was but well I mean
you hear yeah the
hippopotamus Hippocratic Hippocratic
hypocritic ratic
o um Dr Royal I give you full permission
to tell people who were listening um you
know who were concerned about me after
the hot ones and just want to know about
my my uh my condition in general okay
let me ask you a question yeah are you
alive yes I'm alive you're welcome okay
all right well I don't think you're the
reason I'm alive uh you
um you I you've I have first of all many
times you have prescribed me pills yes
that I didn't think I needed all right
okay you've I've gone and gotten the
pills and then you've taken them from me
that's right is that a common how does
how does that how does that help me I
don't want you to get addicted to those
pills they're very strong why do you
have me you have me you have me pick up
large quantities of of these pills I can
write which are highly addictive yes and
you these are big bottles yes very large
bottles and I mean and then as I'm
picking it up from the drugstore you're
usually outside tapping on the window
yes and then you want the pills back
before I can even take them yes yes and
then I give you
$25 and I feel I don't understand how
that helps me
medically well it gets you out of the
house you got to go to the to the
drugstore um you meet you meet people I
mean it helps both of us really it's
even pretty
even Dr Royo if you don't mind I've
noticed often um when we meat that your
lab coat seems like it is a little
[Music]
dirty
there's sometimes and usually when you
think of a a white lab coat you think of
this pristine lab coat and there have
been times not always today it looks uh
pretty good but it's a new one okay
there are times where uh it's looked
like you were rolling around in
something where there's dirt and some
detrius is that something that yes uh
sometimes uh my patients are reluctant
to meet with me and uh and I have to be
a little more aggressive in performing
the exams and so you're well with Matt
specifically I said young man you you
could use an exam and he said please
please go away I don't have money and uh
and then uh I proceeded to do the exam
and uh and he it got physical yeah I
heard there was a scuffle outside L
offices I felt like I left that meeting
with a sore arm and a sore back and and
so I didn't come away with any medical
awareness any healing I was worse for
the wear and that's the opposite of what
a doctor should be yes I suggest you get
a second
opinion you say you give an amazing
first opinion I give a great first
opinion he he wrote a prescription put
it in my back pocket and slapped me on
the ass is that a common practice for
you uh yeah it's a motivation tactic off
you go young man off you go be well
no um
is this something you always dreamed of
when you were a young boy growing
up up I uh I did feel uh did you was it
was that the dream you you felt the
calling call I felt a calling to heal to
be uh of service um to um be paid in
cash and it all came
true it all came true and you are one of
my best patients uh you're always uh
very tolerant uh of any procedures we do
and uh I guess said I don't want to take
credit for your incredible Health but I
do feel like I play a part well um I'm
you know I have to say when I asked you
to come on hot ones I had no idea that
you would suddenly become a famous
person um and you are now you must be
getting recognized I have been
recognized and uh but I want to say I I
will I still keep my rates low it hasn't
gone to my head and uh I am still the
same affordable doctor that you know
yeah I I want to say this uh you are the
most affordable doctor that I've ever
worked with yes of course because you
don't always need the most expensive of
everything you know you don't right you
don't have to you don't need a a roll
Roy to take you to the um Goodwill and
and so you you don't always need the
most expensive things and and and I
think Medical Care is one of those
things where you can save a little money
right so then spend it on something
important later spend it on something
else yeah on something important yeah
okay well Dr Royo uh it's it's been a
treat having you on oh my pleasure and
um as a guest this was not a uh this was
not a consult this was just a you I'm
bringing you
on I was led to believe it was a
consultation I uh I put in a billing for
it already I you
put if you don't you mean you just he
just you signaled yes yes so let me
write you a prescription for some some
pills uh what would that be how much is
that I've got uh 20 is fine 20 is good
$20 20 is fine is that a co-pay or
that's the full that's the full amount
that's the full am $20 that is the full
amount I'm capable of paying uh more it
would hurt me and my uh hippoc clean
oath uh there you go dollar
change so $9 so much $19 that's an odd
amount all right it's a lot of this this
bill is moist it's wet it's uh were you
in some kind of liquid earlier it's it's
