a better time. But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a copper mug, a glass, a tankard, a shell, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparall

eled pleasure of the dopamine blast of the day.

I'm super high right now. Sorry about that. Medically though, doctor's orders. Got some painkillers in me. You may have heard I'm dying of metastatic prostate cancer, but unless you slept all of yesterday, did any of you sleep all of yesterday and miss the trouble I caused? I caused so much trouble yesterday, but it worked out. Maybe I'll give you an update.

So some of you know the story that over the summer when the news came out that I was declining, President Trump called me and blew my mind. One of the things he offered was he said that if you need anything, let me know. But of course you have to be careful about does he really mean that? Does he really mean if you need anything, let me know? He's running the whole country and some would say part of the world. That doesn't seem like something a president could possibly do.

But when things aren't working out and you've got to try all the doors, I sort of reached the end of one rope, which was I wasn't sure I was getting any healthcare at all. I might have been. I still don't know. But what I don't know is if they'd even started the process to get me that potentially life-saving drug that I've been trying to get.

And so on Sunday I wrote a message saying that I would be asking the president on Monday. Now that would be today. But as you know, President Trump likes to do things ahead of schedule and better than you expected. What is it? Blow the budget, ahead of schedule.

And I don't know who he talked to first, but I feel like a lot of things went in motion at the same time. So I was contacted by Don Jr., who was literally in Africa. He's in Africa on a Sunday. And Don Jr. is calling me and saying, "I'm on this. My father wants me to get this done." Then Bobby Kennedy calls me. Bobby Kennedy calls me. He's like, "What can I do? What's the situation?" Dr. Oz calls me. Dr. Oz. "What's the situation? How can I help?" Oh my god.

And then you may have seen that President Trump, best president ever, he posted my message to him that was actually yesterday. It was a public message. And he just said on it, he was so on it. Oh my god. Was he on it?

Anyway, it turns out that nobody in senior management at Kaiser, my healthcare company, had a good weekend. They probably thought, "Oh, it's nice to have a Sunday off for a change." You know, they probably work pretty hard. I imagine they work pretty hard and suddenly the entire Sunday is absorbed by this. Oh, I feel bad about it, but good about it because it might have saved my life. I mean, there's a very good chance. Seriously.

That would be the Kremlin. Oh, I have a phone. I can't reach. What if I can reach that phone? That'd be great. I can throw a book at it. I guess it's done. Same phone number for ten years. Nobody's ever called that during the show anyway. Nobody would know that phone number. Nobody's calling me. They would have called my cell if it was anything.

Anyway, so here's the update. The update is I don't want to give you too much detail on my actual medical treatment yet, but I will. So let me tell you what I'm going to do. I'll give you lots of information about the medical path eventually. I'll just tell you it's under control now. So all wheels are moving in the positive direction. I have extra help beyond Kaiser. I have extra help. And I'll tell you a lot more about that if it works because it will be more than Pluvicto. I just want to get permission before I talk about it. I don't have permission to talk about it. So if I did, I would. But I'll be doing probably the very best thing that anybody could ever try, combination of things.

So that's the good news. But it'll probably take a few weeks, maybe a week or two, I don't know, before the first thing happens and then we'll see what happens.

So I thought I'd come on here because I definitely very much didn't think I was going to do a live stream today because I didn't think I could physically do it. I'm still in a lot of pain and I've been taking painkillers since I woke up at midnight. I've already done one long live stream today drawing. I did a drawing live stream for the Locals people. So they're the only ones who can see that one. So if you're on Locals and you didn't know, there's another lengthy drawing where I try to fight off my cats and draw Dilbert at the same time.

So oh, there's a reason that the Pluvicto can't be administered the day you ask for it. Turns out that not only does it have to be administered in a special nuclear medicine environment, so you can't just do it in a doctor's office, but it also has to be tuned to your situation. So not everybody gets a different dose or a different formulation. Not a different dose, they get a different formulation within the same range. So it would have to be tuned for me specifically and that takes two weeks, but they're going to try to speed it up. So maybe one. We'll see.

Yeah, it's nuclear medicine. Took the nuclear option. You're right. You're right.

So here was my one complaint. And it could be that it's only a communication thing and it could be only because my doctor was gone for two weeks. My oncologist was gone for two weeks. Now I do believe everybody gets to have a vacation. So I'm very torn about this. You know, if you need a doctor, you want your doctor to never go on vacation. On the other hand, human beings have to go on vacation. You know, I can't complain about it. I cannot like it, but it's hard to complain about somebody taking a vacation when everybody in the world takes a vacation.

So it may be that I just didn't know they were working on it. But I believe that they had to interview me first. So this morning as soon as I'm done with this, I've got an appointment to talk to their expert. And I think that's how it starts. So my issue was I didn't know if the process had started. It wasn't that it wasn't done. I couldn't confirm it had started, which is way more distressing if you don't know who to get to and you're not sure it even started.

But I think, and I still don't know if this is true or not, I think that today it starts. I think so. I'm still not even 100 percent sure if it's going to start. If you can imagine that, I'm pretty sure it will today because of all the noise I made, but it should.

Anyway, I will be everybody's practice animal. They can see how well it works on me and if it works on me, well, we'll see. And like I said, there will be more to it than Pluvicto. I just need permission to talk about that and then I'll yak about it so much you'll be sick of it.

What would that be? Oh, huh. Looks like my appointment at Kaiser just changed. Or are there two appointments? Don't know. I guess I'll find out. But since you're here, I thought I would read you some reframes at least. You want some reframes from my book, "Reframe Your Brain"? Man, do I need that. Yeah. Yeah, right. Trump was not on vacation. Damn right. Damn right he wasn't on vacation. And Don…
