- Man.
The human male is a majestic creature,
but he is facing one of
his greatest survival challenges yet.
Prostate cancer.
Fourteen million males worldwide
are living with this disease,
but with your help
we have a chance to save them all.
My name is Rob Riggle.
Follow along as we go into the wild
to tag the many species of men
for the Field Guide to the Modern Human Male.
First on our journey today,
we see Tinkerous Motorous.
This particular male thrives
in his cave environment.
He has developed an advanced ability to use tools.
- Tool box!
- [Rob] The bouquet of motor oil repels his mate,
but all that goes away when he
releases his emphatic mating call.
(motorcycle engine roars)
While he's careful to check the oil every week,
he has not yet had his prostate checked.
But don't just take it from me,
here's a real doctor.
- Hi, I'm Dr. Drew.
In the United States,
one in eight men will develop prostate cancer.
- [Rob] Now, as we venture into the backyard,
the stinging scent of charcoal alerts us
to the presence of the great carnivore,
(grill pops)
Grillius Ignitus.
This mighty male demonstrates his dominance
by providing a hearty meal for his pack.
But when they get overzealous,
he may become agitated
and lash out.
- No!
- Although he takes great pride in caring for his pack,
the male's pride often prevents him
from taking care of himself.
- Prostate cancer is 100% treatable if detected early.
- And now, it is with great apprehension
that we set our eyes upon Dad-jokey Embarrassus.
This male will do anything to impress the cubs.
Watch as he shamelessly attempts
one of his many terrible characters.
- Tong Monster!
(roars)
- Absolutely devastating.
- Potato chips!
- The chances of getting prostate cancer are one in three
if you have a close relative with the disease.
If two close relatives
have been diagnosed with prostate cancer,
the risk jumps to over 80 percent.
- And lastly,
the reigning patriarch, Back In My Dayus.
Presiding over the family unit,
he regales his clan with stories of yesteryear.
- Half the town would be on fire.
- The feeling of safety is abound,
but this is the most vulnerable of times.
- Where does it come out?
Where does the photo come out?
Can you print it?
- The risk of prostate cancer
rises rapidly after the age of 50.
I was diagnosed at age 52,
but some men can develop prostate cancer
as early as age 40.
- The human male is in a race against time.
May I?
Thank you.
That looks great.
In the U.S.,
a man is diagnosed with prostate cancer every 3.3 minutes.
Every 20 minutes,
a man loses his fight against this disease.
Surely, it's our responsibility to do everything
within our power to save these men.
This is the singular focus of many versus cancer,
and why we invite you to join us.
