Doctor Steve - Healthcare for the Rest of Us

Well, the Vodka Tampon Challenge was our second scientific “mythbusting” endeavor…the first being Double Vasectomy Todd’s loss of 80 lbs and gaining of 1 and 3/4 inches of penis length, thus confirming “The Rule of 35″ or “Dr Steve’s Rule” that says for every 35 lbs of weight loss, you regain 1 inch (approximately) of visible male membership.

The Vodka Tampon Challenge was affected, however, by my recent loss of vision…posterior uveitis knocked me from 20/20 to 20/200 in a day and I had to get steroids injected in my dumb eyes again.   This is all documented on my pal “…

I’ve been hinting around that there is “Big” news involving the midnight eastern time slot and we can finally announce it. Big Kev’s Geek Stuff is not only returning to Sirius/XM radio, but will be sharing the midnight eastern timeslot with Weird Medicine.

The story behind this goes back to October 2007.  Big Kev and Weird Medicine were the first “pest radio” shows on the Saturday Night Virus.  If you recall, Gregg “Opie” Hughes made an announcement that any “pests” who had a good idea for a show should let him know…they were willing to put …

It’s been a long time since I posted a Weird Medicine Addendum. For awhile, we were recording them before the XM/Sirius shows and we were finding that a lot of energy that went into the addendum took away from the “official” show. So we just quit doing them for awhile. We had so much fun recording the last two Weird Medicine shows that we had a lot of energy left to do more so we sat back down and did this addendum. There is all-new material here…none of it (that I recall) was done on the shows that aired.

Please welcome …

We have two new shows “in the can” and they’ll play May 8th and May 15th. We’re going to do two more shows in two weeks to carry us through vacation season so we won’t have 2-3 weeks of reruns as we did recently. We cover Dave McDonald’s costochondritis, a guy who can’t smell farts, herpes, herpes, herpes, and a guy who got gutshot with a .22 cal pistol and not only lived to tell the tale, but is driving around, calling us wondering what he should do about it!

I had to kill the Weird Medicine Addendum…if we …

“Fez out of Balance”

This was inspired by something Ronnie B said that inspired something that Sherwin Sleeves said…and of course I just stole the idea.

I had forgotten how much I loved “Koyaanisqatsi” (Life out of Balance) and if you don’t know what I’m talking about, buy it immediately from  the Weird Medicine Drug Store.

It’s slow and plodding, not brilliant and thoughtful like Philip Glass’s original, but it’s the first music I’ve put together in over 6 years so it was fun to do.  I basically did it for @sherwinsleeves and @djjd1962 who were talking about Philip Glass on …

Do I need to post pics of the kid with 20 toes?  I’ve thought about making this site a bit more interesting by posting actual “Weird” medicine stories.  Then I think about how much work that would take and I get lazy.  Let me know what you think.   Silicone penis guy would definitely make the cut, as would maggots-between-scalp-and-skull guy.   Do we really need another Ripley’s Believe it or Puke?   I’ll do it if you think it’s necessary.

Here’s the newest Weird Medicine Addendum;  we kind of got carried away.   A 10 minute podcast that’s 21 minutes long?  Insane!  We finally …

Check out the Weird Medicine Addendum, powered by Arrogant Bastard Ale.

Ok, we gotta stop drinking while we’re doing the show.  Jefferson the Lawyer gave some really BAD medical advice, PA John gave some really BAD legal advice, Double Vasectomy Todd gave us all a BAD virus being cooped up in the studio with him, and I got totally flustered when John and Jeff started laughing hysterically off mic at some private joke.  Then I apparently posted this to our RSS feed and don’t even remember doing it.

Topics over the next few weeks include:

1) Breast Milk Flan
2) Assorted rectal bleeding …

My friend Brent sent me this video and it just blew me away;  sorry if you’ve all seen it 1000 times and I’m way behind, it’s still way cool.  Even if you hate the music, you have to appreciate the genius.   There are a few camera tricks here, but it’s still an amazing achievement in gonzo engineering.

You’ll note there’s no “Weird Medicine Addendum” this cycle;  it was just so bad that I erased it.  Totally my fault;  …

My friend Brent sent me the apple pie recipe; it made me watch the YouTube video again and I thought I’d just post it here. If you’re interested in reading about physics at all (why would you be?) my newest acquisition is “The Quantum Enigma” one of the better books about how physics and human consciousness are hopelessly intertwined.

Enjoy!

The guy who injected silicone into his penis is the subject (among other things) of this “Weird Medicine Addendum”.  If you haven’t seen the video, don’t miss it.  It’s not only “Not Safe For Work”, it’s not safe for anything.  This guy is a nut, but he’s happy, so who are we to criticize him? 20 lbs of silicone later, his glans looks like a giant bullfrog’s mouth and he can’t sit on the pot without dipping his junk into the water.   Fantastic then.

Don’t forget the Weird Medicine Merchandise Mart, where you can get that “I …
