00:00Okay, folks, say hello to Mr. Owens.
00:07He is a father of three.
00:09Had a little fender bender this morning,
00:11so we'll be repairing his right femur.
00:13But first, let's take a deep breath in,
00:15step into a space of gratitude,
00:17and get in the zone.
00:23Mm-hmm. That's best feeling.
00:27Come on.
00:29There it is. For Mr. Owens.
00:31Oh, yeah.
00:34It's not that his moves are bad, it's just...
00:36Three surgeries.
00:37I've done the math.
00:38We could perform three more surgeries a week
00:40if he would just stop...
00:42doing whatever that is.
00:44I am known to do so, what?
00:46What?
00:47I'm so known for the Flintstone clock.
00:48What?
00:49Cammy D, get biz on the crop.
00:50Cut!
00:51Beatsy boys, don't you let the beat?
00:53Mmm, drop?
00:59I know, he seemed like a nice young man.
01:13And that hurts.
01:14Hey, Alex, I'm gonna need you to...
01:16I'm so sorry. It's my mother-in-law.
01:17Can you give me just one second?
01:18Sorry.
01:19Wait, you getting your social?
01:21Cindy, no.
01:22Oh, no.
01:23Someone is on a personal call at work.
01:25You'd better wrap it up right now.
01:29I'm kidding. Take all the time you need.
01:33Today I have my big quarterly call with the board
01:35and I want to run my spiel past Alex,
01:37but she is on a personal call.
01:39So...
01:41You know, I'm gonna call you back.
01:43A big steel wall.
01:45That is what you need to have
01:47between your personal life
01:48and your professional life.
01:50Outside, go crazy.
01:52I have a very robust personal life.
01:55I play the marimba,
01:56which means weekly lessons and recitals.
01:59I've got my nuts.
02:00I love my nuts.
02:01I am a bone broth-er and a mugger,
02:04meaning I make mugs.
02:06I don't steal from people.
02:08But there is personal life
02:10and business life
02:11and never the two shall meet.
02:14No sign of fracture.
02:16With some rest,
02:17you should be back on your feet
02:18in a few days.
02:19Great.
02:20I'm a personal trainer,
02:21so feet kind of help.
02:22Oh, I had a personal trainer once.
02:24I almost lasted the full hour.
02:26Come on.
02:27You look pretty fit to me.
02:29This happens sometimes.
02:31The patient is vulnerable.
02:32I start tossing around terms
02:34like collateral ligaments
02:35and boom.
02:36They catch feelings.
02:37Of course, I'd never act on it.
02:39Wouldn't be right.
02:41But it is nice.
02:42This all looks great.
02:44One thing I do want to flag,
02:45I noticed you used the word dynamism
02:47like six times.
02:48Cool, isn't it?
02:49I got it from Dwell Magazine.
02:51Dynamism.
02:53I love a good buzzword.
02:55I love it.
02:56It just makes me feel so...
02:57Sorry, this is just...
02:59My mother-in-law got scammed
03:00by this guy who was claiming
03:01to be an IRS agent,
03:02but he wants the money
03:03in all Home Depot gift cards,
03:04so she's just like
03:05this high-needs person
03:06that I have to like...
03:07Okay, so I'm gonna stop you
03:08right there,
03:09because that sounds like
03:10a personal matter,
03:11and we, Alex,
03:13look around.
03:14We're at work.
03:15Huh?
03:16Yeah, I know.
03:17Do not disturb.
03:18Well, it's on
03:19do not disturb,
03:20but you know,
03:21sometimes life creeps in
03:22no matter what, right?
03:23So...
03:24Alex is busy.
03:25Do not bother her at work.
03:28Now that I'm a supervisor,
03:29I'm getting a lot more
03:30one-on-one time with Joyce,
03:31which rules, you know?
03:33But it does mean that we're
03:35having to establish
03:36a new working relationship,
03:37you know?
03:38Like, as colleagues,
03:39and that's taking some time.
03:42Hey, Val.
03:43The patient in four
03:44is hooked up to a respirator,
03:45but he's got a sheet
03:46over his head.
03:47Is that like a sleep hack,
03:48or...?
03:49Oh, he passed away this morning.
03:50The ultimate sleep hack.
03:51He's an organ donor,
03:52so we have to keep his heart beating
03:54until the procurement team comes.
03:55Organ donor?
03:56That's kinda...
03:57gross.
03:58Is it?
03:59I'm a donor.
04:00Pretty sure most people are.
04:01Most people, really.
04:03Yeah, kinda weird not to be one.
04:05Organ donation is frowned upon
04:08where I'm from,
04:09but I think I need to reconsider
04:11because I have people here
04:12thinking I'm weird,
04:13and you don't want the girl you like,
04:14uh...
04:15you don't want a woman
04:17who you work with professionally
04:19to think that you're weird.
04:21Or Val.
04:23Why do I do what I do?
04:25Is a question you might ask.
04:26Well, it's not just about
04:28the thousands of lives that I save.
04:30It's about their families,
04:32their friends.
04:33You see, I heal them.
04:35They heal the world.
04:36So...
04:37I don't know.
04:38You do the math.
04:39Come on, I'll show you what I mean.
04:41Hey, this is Mr. Williams,
04:43and we are going to fix his pelvis.
04:45Get him back in action.
04:46Get him back to, uh...
04:48What do you do for a living?
04:49I pour clothes on people
04:50who can't pay their mortgages.
04:52Uh-huh, uh-huh.
04:53But, you know,
04:54it's probably a bunch of greedy investors
04:56who got over their skis, am I right?
04:58Oh, no.
04:59Those guys have shell companies
05:00and lawyers.
05:01It's too messy.
05:02I like couples and families.
05:04It's a lot cleaner.
05:06Good.
05:07Yeah.
05:09We'll find a better one.
05:10I don't think so.
05:12So, remember how we were talking
05:13about organ donation earlier?
05:15Well, did some research.
05:16Turns out, it's awesome.
05:18I don't know why it ever bothered me.
05:20I guess it's four main things.
05:22Obviously, the afterlife risks.
05:24The what?
05:25You know, like if I get into heaven,
05:26I don't want to be a giant Swiss cheese man.
05:28All my favorite foods just glooping out of me
05:31or whatever.
05:32Sorry.
05:33So, you're filled with holes.
05:35SpongeBob is filled with holes.
05:37You don't see him complaining.
05:39That's true.
05:40I did not think about SpongeBob.
05:41Once I'm dead, do whatever you want to me.
05:43Make me into a scarecrow.
05:44Use me as a sandbag to stop floods.
05:46I truly don't care.
05:47I do.
05:49Someone better take my skin.
05:51This is an investment of time and money
05:53that cannot go to waste.
05:54I call dibs.
05:56Give me your skin.
05:59That was a joke, obviously.
06:01Hey, you know that sprained ankle in 12?
06:04I think somebody has a crush on me.
06:08In 12?
06:09Hey, act like you've been there.
06:11You think she has a crush on you?
06:13In what world?
06:14Why not?
06:15No, no, no, no.
06:16You're right.
06:17Hot 20-somethings are obsessed with old dudes
06:19who love talking about World War II.
06:21A, I'm more concerned with the events
06:23leading up to World War II,
06:25and B, I know when someone is flirting with me.
06:28She's probably just trying to get opioids.
06:29That's what it is.
06:30Or maybe she just has really low self-esteem.
06:33You ever think of that?
06:34Thank you, Matthew.
06:35No problem.
06:37The entire board's gonna be on this call,
06:39so please, let's triple check your intake numbers.
06:41Already done.
06:43But I love a quadruple check.
06:44Hmm.
06:45Same.
06:46Harriet?
06:48Joyce.
06:49Henderson.
06:51Oh, Joyce.
06:52Right.
06:53You're one of Alan's dudes.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Harriet is married to my marimba teacher, Alan.
06:58Nice to marimba?
06:59Well, you wouldn't know anything about that
07:01because, you know, separation.
07:03But Alan is a genius.
07:04Alan collapsed this morning.
07:06He's gone.
07:07I need to fill out some forms.
07:11Joyce, I'm so sorry.
07:14Are you okay?
07:15Yeah.
07:16Back to work.
07:17A lot of stuff to do.
07:19Your immune system needs those germs to practice on.
07:20You're so funny.
07:21Full disclosure, that was actually George Carlin.
07:22But I think I told it well.
07:23Is that a friend of yours?
07:24Yep.
07:25Anyway, um, ibuprofen for pain.
07:26I hope this doesn't break doctor-patient confidentiality or whatever, but, um, are you single?
07:32Hm.
07:33Am I single?
07:47Yes, I am.
07:49But I make a policy...
07:51Cause, I really wanna set you up with my grandmother.
07:54But I make a policy.
07:54Because I really want to set you up with my grandmother.
07:58You guys would be so cute together.
08:02Okay, bring it on.
08:04Let's do this.
08:05Dr. Ron is old and delusional.
08:08Come on, I can take it.
08:09I don't know what you're talking about.
08:11Yeah, you're being paranoid.
08:12Right, whatever.
08:13Well, don't look.
08:15There's a total smoke show checking you out right now.
08:17Oh, here she comes.
08:19You guys would be so cute together.
08:25What's on your mind, Matthew?
08:26Oh, just a quick surgery question.
08:29If I were an organ donor, would you, like,
08:31kind of try less hard to save me
08:33so you could, you know, use my organs?
08:37That's, that is a funny question.
08:40Actually, a dumb one.
08:42Because no, no, no, no.
08:43That would be a huge violation of the Hippocratic Oath.
08:46Oh, okay, cool.
08:47I was just worried it would be too tempting to let me die.
08:50Tempting? How?
08:51Well, I mean, I'm just one little life.
08:52But if I died, you know,
08:54somebody would get my lungs, my kidneys, my heart.
08:57I mean, you would save, like, a dozen extra people.
09:00Yes.
09:01No, no, no, no, no.
09:02That's, it doesn't, uh,
09:04I heal patients, they heal the world.
09:07End of story.
09:08Yeah, but think about that times 12.
09:12Would you do me a favor to get out of my office?
09:14Sure.
09:14Great.
09:16Okay, on goes the day.
09:19Woo!
09:19Stella, Stella Bella, Stella Bella.
09:22Hey, girl.
09:24I am excited to be here.
09:27So is everybody else.
09:30Roger!
09:31I'm gonna beat you senseless.
09:33I got your start paperwork.
09:35Boom!
09:37Alex, there she is.
09:39Giving it her all.
09:41It's like that thing I was saying earlier, though.
09:43You know, sometimes life just kind of creeps in.
09:46Not that I'm saying I told you so.
09:49I would never.
09:51I mean, I did say that earlier,
09:53but, you know, who cares?
09:55Dr. Leonard?
09:56Hey, I want you to meet my grandma.
09:58Oh, God.
09:59It's happening.
10:01Hello, Lisa's grandma.
10:03Nice meeting you.
10:04And most people my age just call me Barb.
10:06Well, what should I call you, then?
10:08Kidding.
10:10Oh.
10:11He's kidding.
10:12He's your age.
10:14It's not about how old you are.
10:16It's about how old you feel.
10:18I feel 30, so if I date a woman who's 50,
10:21then that's almost weird on her end.
10:24And I heard you're a big pickleballer.
10:26I'm obsessed.
10:27I play every day.
10:28You guys should play sometime.
10:30Well, maybe, but I'm more into the extreme sports.
10:33Wee-tie, base jumping,
10:35and that thing you do in the squirm suit.
10:37Since when?
10:38A while now.
10:40Interesting.
10:41You know, if there were one word to describe my life,
10:44it would be adrenaline.
10:46Hmm.
10:49That is hot.
10:50Excuse me.
10:55Matt?
10:56What are you doing?
10:57You're just taking in the sights?
10:59Sorry.
10:59I, uh, I was just on break,
11:01and I went down to the O.R.
11:02to watch him take the organs out of that guy
11:04who died here this morning.
11:05And, uh...
11:06Oh, yeah, you mean Alan.
11:08I mean, I guess he looked like an Alan.
11:10Hard to tell without the eyes.
11:11They were just scooping out of this guy.
11:13It was like one of those Saw movies
11:15I've accidentally seen the posters for.
11:17It was like he was a used pinata,
11:19but there was no candy.
11:20Shut up!
11:21Shut up!
11:23Just stop talking.
11:24Yeah.
11:24All right?
11:25Here's what it is.
11:30Patients are like dandelions, yeah?
11:33And surgeons, well,
11:35we're the children who
11:36send those seeds back out into the world
11:38so that new life can grow.
11:41Finally, a white doctor.
11:43Nope, nope.
11:44Do not use that.
11:45Uh-uh.
11:46Go, go, go, go.
11:51Hey, Joyce.
11:52You want some peanut butter crackers?
11:55Grieving people always seem to go for these, so...
11:57No, no, thank you.
12:00Look, I understand if you don't want to open up
12:02with someone at work.
12:03What I do when I'm feeling overwhelmed
12:05is I go into the janitor's closet
12:07and I just cry for like five minutes
12:10and I really think you should try that.
12:13Not necessary and frankly inappropriate.
12:15I will work until the day is done
12:17and then I will go home
12:18and cry in my own closet.
12:20You probably don't need the closet
12:22if you're at home,
12:22but, you know,
12:24message received.
12:25Uh, do you want these?
12:27Those crackers are for the sad.
12:29Throw them out.
12:30I mean, I'll just eat them.
12:31I don't need them.
12:32In the trash.
12:32Oh, my God.
12:44Oh, my God.
12:53Oh, my God.
12:54the skin on your arms needs to heal all right so I wouldn't longboard for a couple weeks I mean I
13:19wouldn't longboard ever but that's more my own personal judgments coming into it nurse Alex
13:23Mazurky and report to my office now this is Joyce hey you said cry for five minutes and I did and now
13:30it is so much worse it is so much worse my call is now and all I can think of is Alan Alan Alan dead
13:37dead dead okay okay well that's that's normal all right just just get on there and tell them that
13:44your friend died okay they're gonna understand if you're having a personal issue uh no I am the
13:49leader if I seem weak those jackals will just rip me apart they will literally bite into my flesh
13:55no Joyce did you eat those out of the trash different ones
14:00somewhere else you're seriously not gonna ask the lady out she's cute sure a lot of ancient stuff
14:09is cute Stonehenge the Dead Sea Scrolls I don't want to date them either I'm sorry isn't she almost
14:14exactly your age you know I dated an older woman once online well she said she was an older woman
14:19but turned out to be a much older man why is it still a thing that men can date women way younger
14:24but dating a slightly older woman is like gross no I didn't say it was gross it's just not my thing
14:29because you won't give it a chance we didn't uh do anything by the way I mean I didn't I don't know
14:34what happened on his end Serena leave Ron alone thank you it's too late for him to evolve he's brainwashed
14:40because he grew up in a time before modern ideas can we not I'm defending you I'm not just gonna ask
14:45some woman out to prove that I've evolved you know what you're the one who's gonna miss out so
14:51hey here they are so question do you guys ever wonder why the hell we even do this job
14:57I'm not missing out on anyone I date plenty my last girlfriend was 42 and she and I got along great
15:06but then she wanted to go back to grad school and get her master's and before that was a 39 year
15:11old but she wanted to have kids and been there done that then it was 35 year old and she was just loud
15:20she's too loud
15:22okay Medicare revenue is up legal claims are down Tchaikovsky is playing on the hope music
15:32and that was Alan's favorite Joyce just tell them okay let the wall down it'll be fine I promise
15:38that is the worst idea I've ever heard stop it okay we're all here Joyce how you doing I'm good
15:45I'm great how are you doing are you okay you good because we've got some exciting projections here
15:53really good ideas and um all right um let me circle back to something no I am not okay
16:03I'm uh I'm a little upset um someone very close to me passed away this morning
16:10I'm so sorry Joyce that's really hard
16:13he was my mentor and my friend and my teacher and
16:17hey was I a little bit in love with him yeah yeah I was I was
16:23Lisa will be just a minute she's picking up her prescription
16:26sounds good John Grisham now we're talking
16:31my kids tease me but the man just knows what he's doing
16:35can I admit something to you I prefer Grisham's later work
16:40thank you and I think my boyfriend Sanderson kind of felt that connection
16:46Joyce he's my ex but we're talking again meaning I'm doing all the talking
16:50and he's doing what he does which is shut me out
16:53so after a very dynamic quarter our revenue for Medicare patients is up 2.9%
17:00great that's great yes I'd also like to say my relationship with Alan never
17:04crossed any lines I feel like I painted a really sordid picture here but it was
17:08never sexual never sexual
17:10yes oh but if and when you get to Santorini
17:14you have to try the grilled octopus but wait I thought it wasn't cool to eat
17:19octopus anymore wasn't there that documentary oh isn't there always a
17:23documentary I said that I mean if it's dumb enough to wind up on my plate I'm gonna eat it
17:28absolutely I just didn't know if you were interested since I don't jump off of cliffs and
17:41sometimes you just gotta say what the hell right what does that mean well I just I'm saying that I'm
17:47I'm usually uh nah I usually gonna date oh uh a woman who is as mature that's a bad word no um as seasoned that's a better word right
17:59are you sure yeah I mean yeah I'm not saying you're worn I I I look at you as vibrant considering
18:08so Barb was a bust way too sensitive if you're gonna clutch the pearls every time I say the wrong
18:15thing it's gonna be a long life but Santorini with a woman of a certain age that could be nice
18:22dinner at five in bed by eight I think it's time I expand my horizons
18:28it's called growth was that bad I feel like that was really bad you know the beginning was strong
18:40and that's what people remember I just don't know where all of that came from I try so hard to
18:49keep things separate yeah but no one expects that of you Joyce no one expects that of anyone
18:54we all process personal stuff here we kind of have to yeah I guess I could use some practice with
19:00that exactly so let's get to it okay sorry how are we getting to it I've long believed that people
19:15should maintain a steel wall between work life and home life but a special colleague well friend
19:23actually I'm gonna stick with colleague taught me that if a fire burns bright enough even steel can
19:31melt we should all feel comfortable sharing personal stuff at work I'm gonna be an organ donor you
19:40weren't an organ donor yeah I mean we talked about it this morning okay well maybe we can stick with my
19:46thing please yes I lost someone special today Alan my marimba teacher he taught me to play and today I play for him
19:57so I'm 16 years old and I'm at the high school science bowl final I guess I was pretty bright back then and but I'm off my game this time because my dad who's always front row center I don't see him anyway we come in third and then I find out
