Field Trip: My Butt, a Colonoscopy Ride Along & How-To Encore

Okay, up top, just so you know, this is a weird episode. Uh, topics weird, uh, format weird, audio weird. Stick with me. It's worth it till the end, I promise. Okay.

Oh, hey, it's your friend's kid who's hitting you with a pool noodle, Allie Ward. And come with me as I research, prep for, get a colonoscopy, and then learn some alarming results. Will you? Okay, so I'm proud of you, number one, for being here. It's an investment in your health.

Or maybe you're just here because you like butts or you want to hear some hot gossip about mine. Maybe someone who cares about you sent this as like a friendly, encouraging Valentine, straight up your rectum. But here's what's up. I needed a colonoscopy and like one would imagine I was not thrilled at this prospect, but I have lost a few loved ones to colon cancer and I've seen firsthand how gnarly it is to have cancer in your guts.
