Main Topics and Insights

1. Turkey Update: The Return of Omaha’s Most Notorious Bird

(Starts at 02:32)

• Jeremy revisits a story from a previous episode (“I Saved a Turkey”) where he rescued a turkey from traffic.
• Despite his efforts, the turkey’s saga continues: the bird is now famous on TikTok, still causing chaos in heavy Omaha traffic and even getting chased by a police officer.
• Jeremy humorously speculates on the turkey’s motives:
  • Is it a turkey “panhandler”?
  • Does the turkey want to get on the podcast?
  • “Maybe the turkey just wanted to raise hell. Maybe that’s what this turkey was destined to do.” (Jeremy, 03:40)
• He reassures himself and listeners he still feels good about helping, despite the turkey’s persistent escapades.

Memorable Quote:
“Maybe this turkey heard the pod and was like, I need to get on ‘Laugh With Me.’ There’s only one way to get this fellow’s attention, and that’s to create, you know, create more hell.” (Jeremy, 06:53)

2. Navigating Crohn’s Disease: Doctor Visits and Medical Mystery

(Starts at 07:02)

• Jeremy discusses living with Crohn’s disease, emphasizing both the hardship and the “silver lining” of frequent access to medical expertise.
• Shares the backstory of having to advocate for more attentive care after an ER visit.
• Details his most recent medical follow-up after starting a new medication. His condition hasn’t improved as expected, leading his doctor (or medical resident) to call him “an anomaly.”
• Jeremy reflects on doctors’ methods:
  • Repetitively asked the same questions—Jeremy jokes maybe it’s to catch him off guard.
  • Questions what doctors are really doing behind their computer screens: “Sometimes though, I wonder what’s going on in that computer screen when they’re just a-clickin’ … Are they googling?” (Jeremy, 09:40)
• Feels both admiration for medical knowledge and bemusement at the protocol.

Notable Moment:
“The doc says I’m an anomaly. Something special going on here.” (Jeremy, 11:45)

---

3. "Frozen Steak": A Medical Metaphor

(Begins in earnest at 18:38)

• The “frozen steak” analogy: The doctor tries to clarify Jeremy’s slow response to new medication by comparing him to a frozen steak that needs to be thawed before cooking/digesting medicine.
• Jeremy’s reaction:
  • Finds the comparison odd but memorable (“Okay, I’m a frozen steak. I get it.”).
  • Admits he usually buys fresh steak, but he gets the point.
• Ultimately, the care plan stays the same: let the meds keep “defrosting” him, then check for improvement.

Memorable Quote:
“This doc, he just kept comparing me to the frozen steak, and just kept coming back to it, coming back to it. I’m like, okay, I’m a frozen steak. I get it. I get it.” (Jeremy, 19:34)

---

4. Awkward Triumph: The Art of the On-Demand Stool Sample

(20:50 – 25:44)

• Jeremy describes with candid humor the process of giving a stool sample—opting to do it immediately at the clinic rather than at home, to maximize efficiency (and his $75 copay).
• Anecdotes on past ER visits reveal a unique “talent”: he’s able to provide a stool sample on demand, impressing medical staff.
• Narrates the awkward logistics:
  • Disposing of the collection apparatus in an exposed trash can.
  • The mutual discomfort when dropping off a “still warm” sample at the front desk.
  • The strange experience of walking around with “a bunch of poop in your pocket.”
• Finds humor in the discomfort, for both himself and clinic staff.
• Concludes with a reflection: in life and health, it’s just “always an adventure.”

Standout Line:
“It is weird walking around anywhere, honestly, with a bunch of poop in your pocket ... That’s the literal. That’s in my pocket. That’s what the smell is.” (Jeremy, 25:16)

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “I feel like I’m maximizing my time by doing this in one visit. Right? But then something inside of me must really enjoy that part because I got a kick out of it as I’m walking away, as I’m hurriedly running out of there.” (Jeremy, 25:36)
• “You just never know anymore around this place. Always an adventure. Always an adventure.” (Jeremy, 25:44)

---

Tone and Style

• Honest and unfiltered: No sugarcoating the awkward moments of chronic illness or the indignities of modern healthcare.
• Relatable and genuine: Whether discussing turkeys, weird doctor metaphors, or bodily samples, Jeremy finds the absurdity in everyday struggles.

And I'm Hari Kondabolu.

[Dr. Priyanka Walley]

It's a new year, and on the podcast health stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health, which means.

[Hari Kondabolu]

Being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone.

[Hari Kondabolu]

And I said, what?

[Jeremy Odom]

What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened.

Everyone needs to take care of their mental health, even running back Bijan Robinson.

[Bijan Robinson]

When I'm on the field and feeling the pressure, I usually just take a deep breath. When I'm just breathing and seeing what's in front of me, everything just slows down. It just makes me feel great before I run the play.

[Jeremy Odom]

Iheartradio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Goodbye, foreign. Welcome back. It's a brand new episode. This is Laugh with Me and podcast with Jeremy Odom and I'm your host, J O Man, I gotta tell you, about a month ago, I told you about how I saved a turkey. Okay. I saved, I saved this poor turkey's life. You can go back, you can actually listen to the whole episode. It's called I saved a Turkey. So it's pretty easy to find. But the thing is, this turkey, in the midst of December holiday shopping, was in the middle, in the median, in the middle of like six lanes of very busy traffic here in Omaha. And it was just a. Pacing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Didn't know where it was going. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. This turkey definitely was scared. So we parked the car, I hop out, maneuver through the traffic, get to the median, help the turkey across the road, right? I think that's the end of the story with this turkey. I mean, it's got to be, right? It's got to be a happy ending, it turns out. And I just, we just came across this on TikTok. This turkey has continued to, to raise hell in that same section of traffic. Just now. It's running around in the road. Like, I'm almost wondering, did I not save the turkey? Did. Did the turkey want something bad to happen? Did this turkey have ulterior motives? Like what. What exactly was this turkey trying to accomplish in the middle of just insane traffic, Six lanes of just go, go, go, go traffic. Pacing back and forth. This turkey is still out there. There's a. The tick tock. The video is, is of a police officer chasing the turkey, trying to get this turkey to cross the road. So my first thought was, all right, maybe the turkey wanted to raise hell, right? Maybe that's what this turkey was destined to do. Maybe that's his turkey's job. Maybe this is what he does. You know, you've got those people that are like, they're, they're, they just sit in the middle there. The. Right when you stop for the lights and they're, you know, they want money, right? They're asking for money, the panhandlers. Maybe this is, this is the turkey version of that. So that was my first thought. My second thought was, well, this police officer is struggling to get this turkey. I mean, the turkey just run it. So either I'm just better equipped and maybe more trustworthy to the turkey than the police are, or maybe this turkey knows something that we don't and needed to stay clear of this Omaha police officer. Maybe there's something to it. I don't know. But the TikTok definitely got me thinking, because that. That this turkey should have just been moving on and enjoying its life. And it turns out there's more to this story. So the turkey is out there. If you are in the. You find yourself in the Omaha area. It was around a hundred and one hundred thirty second L, near the L street marketplace there, just in the main. Main level of traffic there. It's wild. It's wild. I still feel good about saving the turkey, though. Like, that doesn't. Like, I'm not like, oh, man, what a waste of effort there. No, not at all. Like, I still feel good. I feel like I did the right thing. But now I'm just like, all right, this turkey's got something. Or maybe the turkey wanted to tell its story. Maybe the turkey heard the pod and was like, I need to get on. Laugh with me. There's only one way to get this fellow's attention, and that's to create crew, you know, create more hell. So I don't know, maybe. Maybe eventually we can get this turkey on the pod. That'd be quite the deal. So that's the update with the turkey. I felt. I felt compelled to need to tell this story because the fact that this turkey is still going is. Is pretty wild to me. So. Yeah. How's everybody doing this week, man? Little doctor's visit. As everybody knows, I. I do have the Crohn's disease. And one of the things that comes with that. Not just the constant pain, the constant fatigue, the low. The. The anemia, the. I mean, I could go on and on with the. The negatives. One of the positives. I get to see doctors pretty frequently. And generally that's a good thing, because then I feel like, hey, there's some doctors really using their talents and their knowledge to hopefully help me someday. Someday. Someday, right, doc? Someday, right, Johnny? Johnny. He'll see a doctor once a year, reluctantly and perfectly healthy. Drinks like a fish, eats like a pig. Perfect bill of health. I think it's all the running you do, bud. It's gotta be all the running you do. But either way, it's neither here nor There I've got the Crohn's, so I see the doctor. So I just, I had changed medication a few months ago, okay, so now we're trying out this new medication so that I had my follow up visit to, you know, see how things were going. And that's always good because a few years ago I wasn't getting these follow up visits. I wasn't getting much attention at all from the doctors until we had a pretty big blow up after one of my ER visits from everything. But now I'm getting all kinds of attention. But here's the thing, I get, I get the visit. So I need to tell you about this because doctors, I, I often wonder and I'm not taking anything away from, they go to school, they, their education and their knowledge on, in this area far exceeds anything I will ever know about anything in my life. I, I truly believe that because they did put the time, the energy, the investment into their career to know this stuff. So I, I do fully believe they are doing all of everything they can to know all of everything they can about this particular subject. I truly believe that. Sometimes though I wonder what's going on in that computer screen when they're just a click in on the computer screen because there's only so many clicks, so many things you can put into my profile. I mean there's just gotta be. So what are they looking for? Are they googling? One visit I had with hematology when we were just, we were talking about my anemia and just my disease and things like that and it was like it came straight out of the TV show House, you know, used to be on Fox you had the old vet doc that's in charge and he's in there with his four students, I would assume students or at some level of doctor. And they're there and they're watching. They're the ones answering all the questions. He's asking questions, I don't say a damn thing. They're answering all the questions. And then occasionally we'll have to get a Google out, we'll have to get a Google search out for something and that's fine. I thought it was interesting. As long as I'm taking care of, in the end that's all that matters to me. Well, in this particular situation, my gi, my GI office, my main doctor doesn't come in till the end. He's the main event. So I get the doctor that's reporting to him, right, That I can only assume is some kind of student of some type. And he's asking, you know, questions. It's, you know, you've been to the doctor, they ask you 20 questions, and a lot of times it's the same questions over and over again. I don't know if they're just trying to see if maybe you forgot something and you'll answer it differently this time. I don't know what the point of that is, but they do ask the same questions over and over and over. And this particular doctor, this is the first time I've met this guy. We've been going through students like crazy at this office lately, and I, I don't know what's going on there. I, I didn't have the time to ask questions about that because we were so focused on this. He says I'm an anomaly. Normally, patients will react to the medicine they've been giving special at the level that we are at now, you know, with I'm on tremphy. So they said, well, normally three months on tremphy and you would be showing some good signs of improvement. He says, you're an anomaly because you're. The medicine isn't helping you. Now, on one hand, I think it's my. It's my. It's not just the disease. I think it's. It's one of those things where, you know, when you're, like, chronically sick, they generally tell you to, like, take it easy, you know, just try to help your body, help you. And I only know one way, and that's just to go until I can't, and then I'm down and out. Now, in the last year or so, I've slowed down a little bit. That's because I'm so tired. Doc says I'm an anomaly. Something special going on here. But here's the thing. He took it a step further, and I don't know if he didn't. He think I knew what anomaly meant. But the way he wanted to describe it to me was with a comparison. He goes, I'm going to give you a comparison to what you are right now with your medicine.

You know when you get like a frozen steak, you don't want to just put that frozen steak right on the grill, right? Because then you're only going to get the outside heated up, and then eventually the inside is just going to continue to be frozen or at least not cooked as well.

[Dr. Joy Harden Bradford]

Like, all right.

[Jeremy Odom]

He's like, you need to thaw it a little bit. You gotta defrost. You gotta get the frosty outside just a little bit. So that way, as it's cooking, it cooks the inside. I go, yeah, I know. I understand how that works. I've grown before. He says, that's kind of how you are. We gotta defrost you. We gotta thaw you a little bit. So we're giving you these levels of medicine right now to get that. To get that going. And then. And then we'll get to maintenance levels, and then boom, boom, boom. Your body's absorbing it, and then you're feeling better. And I go, okay, I like that part of it. I like the idea that I'm going to get better. I don't understand how. I'm a frozen steak. I don't understand that. I also don't freeze a lot of steaks. I usually go to the meat counter, get my steak, grill it up that day or the next day or the day after. But I am familiar with the thawing process. But, man. Yeah, this doc, he just kept comparing me to the frozen steak, and he just kept coming back to it, coming back to it. I'm like, okay, I'm a frozen steak. I'm a frozen steak. I get it. I get it. So then we move on. He never brings it up again. My main doctor comes in. So now we're on to the main event. And he's saying a lot of the same things the other doctor said, but without the frozen steak part. And in the end, we decide we're gonna. We're gonna see this through. We're gonna. We're gonna continue on the same medicine, the same process that we're currently on to see if I can get better. Because apparently I just need to defrost a little bit. I need to fall a little bit before we get to the good stuff. So we'll see. But something he did want me to do, he put immediate orders in for labs, so he wanted some blood taken to run. And I. I'm pretty. I'm very familiar with that. So I knew. I. I figured that was going to be part of the deal, but the other part of the deal. And this was something that I knew was coming, but I wasn't quite sure how we were going to Go about it was I had to provide a, like a stool sample. If you're not familiar with a stool sample, it's where you have to poop in this, this like, cup thing. It catches it in the toilet there before it hits the water. And then you got to like, use this wooden stick and, and shove it inside a vial. And this is the most important part. And I thought the important part was making sure that it appropriately was shoved into the vial. No, the most important part is that you write your name, the date, and the time in which you provided the sample on the outside of the pill bottle, the vial there. That's the most important part. At least based on how much everybody stresses that this happens. That's what I'm assuming is the most important part. So, so they give me the stool kit. Now, I. I had received a call a few days prior and from a nurse and was told that I needed to get the stool sample. I'm like, well, I don't have a stool kit. I'm like, all right, well, we'll provide you with the stool kit when you get here. But nobody, no, everybody always does this at home. You know, they take it home, then they do it, and you refrigerate your poop and then bring it back, drop it off at the lab. I don't operate that way. I feel like there's so many different steps. I like to look for the efficiencies and things. And I'm like, they're gonna give me a stool kit here at the office. Well, I'm sure as going to give you your sample while I'm here. I'm going to maximize this visit, that's for sure. Especially for 75 copay. 75 copay. I'm going to maximize this. So he gives me a stool came, like, oh, yeah, I'll go down, I'll get the, get the blood taken. Okay. So I go downstairs, I go down the lab, get the blood. The blood. That, that, that goes great. Outside of the 15 minute wait. I always wonder about that. My. When you're in there and you're getting blood taken, it only takes you 5 minutes or less. Usually 5 minutes or less in and out unless there's complications. So why is it taking so long to get seen back there? I don't know. That's. I digress. So I asked the lab person as. After she's taken my blood, I'm like, all right, so I have to give this stool sample as well. The fecal lab. Do you want that? Do I give that to You. She goes, oh, no, no, you'll give that to the people at the front desk. And I'm like, perfect. So I immediately go out to the front desk, and I'm like, I'm supposed to give you this fecal. And they're like, no, no, no. You should have given it to the person back. I'm like, whatever. Okay. Either way. So I go. I go and I use the bathroom, and I gotta say, it was pretty. I. I can do this on a drop of a dime. I. I've done this before. One time I'm in the ER for the anemia because I needed blood badly, and they wanted a stool sample and they were going to give me. But what's the. The. What's the. Johnny, what's the thing where they mate? Like, if they force your body to. Need to. To. What's the. I forgot. Johnny, you got to be better at this stuff. I know you're a specimen of perfect health, but I need you, man. Google that. Google that, please. They were going to give me one of those, and I was like, no, I could just go now. And they're like, nobody can just poop at the drop of a dime on. On demand. Well, I can. I can. And I did. And everybody was pretty impressed. So I thought this would be another opportunity for me to be able to show off my talents. So I go in the bathroom and I do all that, but the issue is I've got to dispose of the big thing that goes on top of the toilet that catches your poop. And it's gonna smell. There's no hiding that because I'm not washing it. I'm just throwing it away. And they had an exposed trash can, which I thought was odd for a hospital, but whatever. It's not my deal. So anyway, I do it and I take the stick and I shove it all in the. In the vial and I write. I. Trust me. I wrote my name, I wrote the date, I wrote the time, which was just right then. So I did it. And then I walked myself right to the counter, and I'm like, I got you. They. It turns out they. It's just as uncomfortable for them. Not only when you're dropping it off, they. They bring out this little tub and they're like, just put it in here. Just. Just drop it in the tub. It's just as awkward for them when you're dropping it off. It's even more awkward for them when they know you just did it.

When.

They know it's still warm, which I don't know if that. Maybe that's part of the fun. Maybe that's why I like doing it that way. I don't know. It's not anything that I'm, like, trying to do. This is not intentional where I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have a blast doing this. They're gonna be so, like, feel so awkward about it. No, I just feel like I'm maximizing my time by doing this one visit. Right. But then something inside of me must really enjoy that part because I got a kick out of it as I'm walking away, as I'm hurriedly running out of there. But it is weird walking around anywhere, honestly, with a bunch of poop in your pocket. You know, just luckily I've had that little vial. Keep it in. But you got the. The people next to you waiting in line, like, what's that smell? It's the. That's the literal. That's in my pocket. That's. That's what the smell is. Oh, yeah. Well, anyway, that's what's been going on with me. I don't. You just never know anymore. You just never know anymore around this place. Always an adventure. Always an adventure.
