- We're about to play Medical Confessions
with the one and only Tony Hale,
two-time Emmy winner.
(whooshing)
Rockstar extraordinaire. - That's right.
- [Mike] Who's gonna trick me
with his medical knowledge. - [Tony] That's right.
Rockstar, what was that?
- I don't know.
- Rockstar. - Rockstar.
- All I heard was rockstar.
- P whoop! - P whoop!
(wheezing)
- I am legitimately considering getting a hair transplant,
but I'm very nervous.
(whooshing)
I have tremendously bad BO,
Thanks Dan.
And have to shower multiple times a day.
- When you say multiple times a day
how many times are you thinking?
(whooshing) - Uh, it's two to three,
depending on what I'm doing.
- Okay.
Do you have people commented on your BO?
(whooshing) - Yes.
- Is it like partners you're with and stuff?
(whooshing) - Not only, but yes.
- Okay. (whooshing)
With your hair is it typically on the back?
Like tips.
Are you losing hair back here
or are you just worried about thinning in general?
- I'm worried about patches missing.
- Do you examine your hair every day?
- No, I'm not actually as worried about the hair loss
as I am more about the process of getting the transplant.
- I see.
- Have you researched it? - A lot.
- Lot in terms of BO,
do you use extra deodorant?
- Extra? No.
- I think the BO is the lie.
- You're right. (register chimes)
- Yeah. (chuckles)
Why?
- I can relate to the hair transplant.
- Okay.
Because the hair transplant
is not where you think it is.
I'm thinking about getting it on my face
for a bald spot on my facial hair.
- Is it this one right here?
- Yeah, I don't know which side it's on.
It's like there's like a whole space.
- [Tony] Interesting.
- 'Cause I want it to be like, you know.
I want the fullness,
but I wanna show people the process
of what it's like to go through it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So I'm like, I think I should just do it on myself
as an experiment and film this.
- Lie detector on. (alarm sounding)
- Okay.
I broke a toe
or I slammed my finger in the door and my nail came off.
- How long until your nail came off?
- Ooh, I would say
Ooh,
three weeks?
- And was there bruising?
(whooshing) - Oh yeah.
(whooshing) - Where?
- Right. Like it came down here
but then the whole nail was black.
- And then it fell off.
- And then it, well, not immediately.
But if fell off. - And then once it fell off
was there still bruising?
- Mm. - [Mike] Mm.
Mm.
Mm. Mm! - [Tony] I don't-
(chuckles)
I don't remember that actually.
- Which door was it?
- Oh, it was the sliding door from a van.
A van? - Yeah.
(Mike wheezing)
I love that your question,
like if I have a van?
No, cause my daughter was in elementary school.
This was a while ago.
She was in elementary school when I was slamming the door.
I'm like, chung right there. (glass shattering)
- Okay, and then the pinky toe,
what did you break it on?
- Oh, it wasn't the pinky toe. - [Mike] Oh.
- It was the toe next to the big toe.
- What did you break it on?
- I was (chuckles)
I was stepping over,
we have a dog door,
and I was stepping and then I fell and it twisted.
- Mm.
- So actually broke is probably not the best thing.
I think it was probably-
- Oh, so you didn't get an x-ray?
(whooshing) - I did get an x-ray.
(whooshing) - But it was broken?
- It was, had a little clip to it.
Is that broken?
- Are you lying about both of these?
(laughing)
I think the nail was just so,
you don't have a a van.
- I think that's a lie. - What?!
- I'm such an all-American.
- I think that's a lie.
- Yes, it's a lie. (laughing)
- I knew you don't,
you don't have a van, right?
- I don't have a van.
- I knew it!
- I lost a bet in medical school
and got a tattoo that I then had to laser off.
- Okay.
- I am currently battling a fungal infection.
- Interesting.
Where was this tattoo?
(whooshing) - Back.
(whooshing) - The back.
- What was it of.
- Mitochondria.
(whooshing) - Sorry?
(whooshing) - Mitochondria.
- [Tony] And that's a disease?
- No, that's a part of a cell.
Is the powerhouse of the cell.
- I see, okay.
- Where is the fungal infection?
Is it like in your crotch?
- No.
My left pinky toe nail.
- Your left pinky toe.
Does it itch? - No.
- [Mike] It doesn't itch? - It's on the nail,
not the skin.
- Is it something that a cream helped?
- No, it's, - [Mike] It's always there?
- It's not a cream issue.
(whooshing) - It just flares up?
- No, it's flared up right now
and it's gonna take a long time to treat.
- How many laser surgeries
did you have to go through to get rid of it?
- [Mike] Six.
- Six.
Were they expensive?
(whooshing) - Very expensive.
- [Mike] And were they painful?
- Very painful.
- How much of your back did it go?
- It was very small.
- Is it completely gone?
- Completely gone.
- So they took all the dye out?
- Yes.
- And so the fungal infection is on your toe.
Did your toenail come off? No.
- No, still have it. (boink sounding)
- I think the tattoo is truth.
(whooshing) - No!
Ah, hah! - [Mike] Ah!
(laughing)
- I got it.
- That was good. - That was good too.
- I do have a fungal infection on my toenail.
I should of have thought like,
who puts a cell on their back?
(laughing)
- Now this guy.
- I had these white spots in my mouth.
- Mm-hm.
- And the second one is,
I had a weird rash on my thighs.
(Tony wheezing)
- Does the rash on your thigh
cause psychosocial harm to you?
- It reminded me of eczema.
It happened when I was doing a gig and it was outside
and I came home and it just,
it got inflamed.
- Were you aware of it before you saw it?
- Oh yeah.
But then I kind of took a shower.
It actually got worse after the shower.
- And when you saw the white spots in your mouth
what was the first thing that came to your mind?
- Why do they hurt?
And they seem to be kind of deeper
or they seem to be wider than like a canker sore.
- And you've had canker sores before?
- [Tony] Yes.
- And you knew these were not canker sores.
- They felt like a canker sore.
- [Mike] Were they examined by a physician?
- Yes. - And what'd they say?
- They said it's kind of like yeast related.
(chuckling) - That's it?
- They just said yeast related?
- [Tony] Yes.
- Where they said you need to watch
kind of what you're eating.
And they gave me a steroid.
- I think that one's the lie.
- No.
- Really?!
(register chimes)
What?!
- What doctor did you see?
That is not good advice?
I should have been more detailed.
It's called lichen planus.
- Okay. So they said it was yeast related?
- Well, they said that was kind of what helped me.
Cause I- (laughing)
They did give me like trays
that would like have the steroid on it.
But they had trays of the steroid that helped heal it.
But then when I did cut out like sugar
and it actually went down.
- Okay.
- Just 'cause if you have a fungal infection in your mouth.
- It was fungal related.
That's the word for it.
- But then if you get fungal related
they shouldn't give you steroids.
So something doesn't make sense.
I think it was also associated with anxiety.
There was like a flare up anxiety stuff.
- [Mike] Fair.
I actually don't need these glasses,
but I wear them to look smarter.
- Oh, we're gonna get into that.
- I have a severe delayed allergic reaction to penicillin.
- Okay, lemme ask you about the glasses.
When did this start?
Have you always worn glasses?
You thought it was cool?
- No.
- Do you wear those because you wanna seem smarter?
- [Mike] Correct.
- Is that because you feel like you have a baby face?
- No. (baby crying)
(wheezing)
- But apparently you do.
- Not a baby,
but like you're a young dude.
Like you're a young doctor. - [Mike] Well, I'm a doctor.
(whooshing) That's why, yeah.
(whooshing) - The penicillin.
Is this a delayed reaction?
Meaning, how long until you have a reaction?
- Days.
- Days?
And when was this discovered?
(whooshing) - High school.
- [Tony] What happened?
I had mono,
I took penicillin.
(fire blaring)
- Okay.
You're gonna tell me the truth.
Take off your glasses.
(record scratching)
(timer ticking)
Can you see that?
(intense tune)
- 3:33.
- I think you're okay.
(wheezing)
I think you're lying about the penicillin.
- No, I was lying about the glasses.
- Oh shoot.
I was gonna go that way but then I was like,
"No, that's too,"
- [Mike] I'm secretly blind. - Like who does wear?
- You know how hard it was for me to see the 3:33?
(employee laughing) I was about to say 3:43,
but I'm like,
"Nah, I don't think it's 3:43 yet.
- Dang it.
I'm sorry, Asthma Foundation.
(laughing)
(static sounding)
I got hives from an allergy shot
or a blood vessel in my eye popped
and blood covered my eye.
- Subconjunctival hemorrhage.
- All right, fine. - [Mike] What did you-
- [Mike] What did you- (wheezing)
Oh my god. - That's enough.
We can settle down now.
(wheezing)
- [Mike] What did you do when you saw the eye?
- You're smart, you go the glasses.
- Stop wasting my 60 seconds!
- What did you do when you saw the red eye?
- Oh, I freaked out.
'cause I was shooting Alvin and the Chipmunks at the time.
I was the bad guy in Alvin and the Chipmunks.
- And did you go see a physician?
- No, because they,
I was so terrified the next day
and they said we can touch up.
We can fix it in post?
- Your eye? - [Tony] Yeah.
- Wow. - 'Cause it was,
the whole left side was covered red
from the blood vessel pop.
- And then what was your allergy shot for?
- [Tony] It was just a standard allergy shot.
Then the whole,
it was like right down here to here.
It got just got hives.
- And what were you getting the allergy shot for?
- Just a bit like a routine allergy shot.
(whooshing)
- A routine allergy.
Do you get those often?
(whooshing) - Once a week.
- And why did this one affect you so?
- I guess it was a higher dose.
- Oh, man,
These are both so real.
- I know.
- Just on odds.
I'm gonna go with the eye being real.
(whooshing) - Wrong.
- Oh.
- I just recently got the hives.
(register chimes) - $3,000
to the AAAFA.
- So fun.
- [Mike] Thank you so much for coming.
- Thanks for having me.
This is was great. - [Mike] Yeah, this is-
(mellow band music)
