Toe Bro: So we've got a soccer boy in the chair.
Again, you've had this multiple times, right?
Mm-hmm.
, um, and all the time, usually the new nail goes in, old one falls
off, and it keeps happening.
And that's because we keep traumatizing the nail.
Just like you get a bruise on skin, we can bruise the toenail.
Mm-hmm.
And it's the dry blood underneath that separates the nail from the nail bed.
Causing it to become detached.
Things like fungus gets in, sometimes the nail becomes more curled, but in the
end it's really damaging your toenail.
So we're gonna trim off whatever's attach, uh, detached and leave whatever is good.
And we just watch the new nail growing.
But I can see that the nail's very thick.
Right.
So this will always happen, right?
So we just have to maintain, uh, these sticking toenails.
That's why going next door to the nail salon regularly to have
them buff down, very important.
Um, if you get tired of doing this or you don't like how thick they are, honestly
removing them, it is a great option.
No more toenails, completely smooth.
You never have to deal with the nail again.
Okay?
But we'll see how it looks once we clean it all up.
So we're just gonna trim this back.
And it was just really this corner that made you want to come in, right?
Yeah.
It's a little bit ingrown.
A little bit curled,
but this has been happening for years.
No, honestly,
Patient: just like,
Toe Bro: like what?
Two years, one and a half years with happening.
You get new soccer shoes.
Don't
Patient: think I've rinsed through as many soccer shoes as I possibly can because
it's just like, cuz some of them like are, some of 'em are too tight, some of 'em
are too, uh, or are too wide or too much.
So I realize like right now, I, I have a pair, which I'm very comfortable with.
Yep.
It's just like, it just hurts my heel.
But that's, that comes with like breaking them in and just as of
recently, maybe a week ago, is the, the Ang room part on the left side.
Yep.
Bothered me.
But if it wasn't for my mom and my brother, like telling me,
you have to go, you have to go.
You have to go.
Like, I probably wouldn't have came here.
I probably would've just let it grow.
Cause I saw like the nail beginning through, I saw, I'm like, I don't
know how much I really need to do, but I'd rather get an expert's
opinion rather than just go about it.
Toe Bro: Yeah, and I think your big issue was just the nails are just a little
bit too long and these are too thick, so then they put more pressure in the shoe.
Mm-hmm.
and just a vicious cycle.
Once we get the thickness down, nothing will be pushing the nail into the skin.
And then, like you said, then you can let your normal nail grow in.
, the crappy thing about cleats or athletic shoes, they just have to be snug.
Mm-hmm.
, right?
So you can have control if they're loose, it just doesn't work.
But then tight shoes really damage and beat up feet.
Mm-hmm.
. So let me know if it gets a little bit too sensitive.
I'm just trying to get as much of the snail that's in the side out.
Again, we're just.
Anything that's dead or lifted coming right off today?
No pain.
No.
Plus, you'd never admit that on camera, right?
You're gonna be a tough No, that's fine.
The camera can know.
At least I was being serious.
That's true.
No, but nothing should really bother you.
So now you can show off that all position.
You like all positions.
You use both feet.
You're Mr.
Exactly.
Stamina, . That's the one thing I really suck though.
I just, I'm not a
Patient: good runner.
See, here's the thing.
I don't even think it's about being a good runner.
I, I think it's just like
Toe Bro: pacing yourself.
That is, that is true.
That is true.
Because like, I, you have to pick your spots.
Literally.
Patient: Like a lot of people, like when, like I remember when
I used to watch film a lot.
A lot of, they don't learn a lot.
They know when to run.
You're right.
It's like there's their, their, their awareness and like scanning the field
is what makes it easier for them.
So I feel like that's really what genuinely
Toe Bro: makes the difference.
Wise words from this young guy, but you're completely right.
If you just start chasing after every ball, you're gonna die.
Oh, I swear.
That was my problem.
And that was too much like a little puppy just running around.
Patient: Oh, my friend's like that.
I play with him and then he runs after everything and I'm like,
bro, you, you don't have to.
Like, there's no need.
He's like, no, I wanna run it.
I'm like, bro, like after three runs, you're, you're,
you're wheezing on the floor.
Yep.
Toe Bro: And then you're no good, then you're gonna get beat everywhere.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I'm gonna be using a little tool to be scooping out the corner.
Mm-hmm.
, but it was very tight in there.
Mm-hmm.
And
Patient: I also, like, I personally just got scared and never, never cut it myself.
Cuz like looking at the blue and the green and the Yep.
And the red.
I was just like, yeah, I'm, uh, I'm just, this outta my area of
Toe Bro: expertise.
Then who saw your foot that it was really like, you
Patient: gotta go see.
I always wear socks in the house.
So I think on the rare occasions that I didn't is when I heard
it from my mom, you have to go.
And then my brother, because he has already been here,
is like, you have to go.
You have
Toe Bro: to go.
You have to go.
So it's like, huh, okay.
I
Patient: ignored it for six months.
But then once you're done school and you're on.
Kinda have to hear it every day.
Toe Bro: So you got tired of it.
I was like, you know what, lemme, lemme go see . Lemme just see what this is about.
No, and you have, you're right in a sense where if you were just to
leave it, the new nail would come in, but we can help it a little bit.
So this is that little two I was talking about, just to check the corner, make
sure we can see the end of the nail.
But I think the, the nail saw on next door, they.
Really doing an amazing job cleaning out these damaged toenails.
They're gonna get all the cuticles nice and clean.
They get down there really deep.
It's gonna make a big difference.
So little bit of cold water.
Mm-hmm.
, nothing should hurt.
Only 21.
Yeah, I gotta see an ID man.
This guy, he's an adult.
Look at him.
He's a grown man playing against boys.
They have a full beard, a drink beard going on, . Okay,
let me smooth out these nails.
A little bit of cold water.
That way you don't feel any heat.
So I'm just gonna smooth out all of them since we're here and this is what they're
gonna do next door at the nail salon.
Really well.
How was cool?
It's alright.
I work in times, so.
So you're a busy guy.
I try to, It's better that way.
Day.
Like I remember when Christmas happened.
Yep.
If we don't celebrate, so when, uh, when Christmas happened, like days off weird.
Don't
so I dunno.
Feels weird enough to have anything to do, but hey, that's gonna
give you good work ethic, man.
That's good.
So you're not just home playing video games all the time.
Oh, I like, I played video games like on Christmas Day.
I play video games at 1:00 PM and I was like, this something does not feel right.
Something not outta her now.
So if anything's a little sensitive, you let me know anything yet?
No.
You can see a lot of the bedkin has already come off.
Mm-hmm.
where
the
Toe Bro: bad part of the nail.
Mm-hmm.
So I know that you said from
Patient: yellow, so is it gonna be that yellow
Toe Bro: or that new?
Yellow.
And that's unfortunately the damaged, thick and nail from
all the wear in tear you it up.
It just comes with the territory.
Lot of athletes have this.
Issue and it's just nail trauma.
So we get thick, yellow, dead skin from too much pressure.
We get thick yellow nails from, again, cleats being
stepped on, bruising the nail.
Better.
Mm-hmm.
, you can see the nails.
Much flatter per se.
Yeah, we can see where half of it is, the new nail coming in, and
the top half is the bad stuff.
We'll wipe them down this whole foot in a second.
A lot of people felt like, yeah, they went with him, right?
Because just to see his whole career, it's really unbelievable.
I dunno, when watch.
So you've gotten to see him in person?
No, I haven't.
I, I hope that one day I can see him.
I, so I hope that, By next year I would've gone.
But it was really awesome to see him win.
It really was.
Anything a little sensitive here?
No.
So again, getting as much of this bad stuff off is very bruised.
Mm-hmm.
. So you just kind of.
As the nail grows out, you keep cutting it yourself.
Mm-hmm.
and I'd say, you know, in maybe three months or so, come in for a pedicure.
They can do another cleanup next door and we just keep seeing the new healthy
nail until you bang it up all over again.
And we start from cutting.
They're all over
You okay here?
Yeah.
So, Making sure there's nothing in that little pocket.
Now it does go pretty deep on that side.
Trauma can change the way a nail grows, so I can put my tool all
the way underneath the edge of it.
We just need this corner to grow on out.
Okay, so this is the corner.
It's rounded.
It's not sharp.
Mm-hmm.
, it's gotta grow over the skin and push on out.
Mm-hmm.
. So now that it's filed back, it should be able to do that without a problem.
Okay.
And, and there you go.
Your, your first, your first YouTube video.
. Maybe.
Maybe your secret YouTuber.
Maybe , I guess I'll never know.
Well, you either look, you look like a.
We can musician an artist or a fashion icon, Mr.
Style.
I'll take a fashion.
I'll take a
Patient: fashion one.
That, that, that made my day.
I'm good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm good for the rest of the day.
I
Toe Bro: don't have to worry.
You got, you got some, you got some swag too.
I'll tell you that.
And that's how old I am saying swag.
Not that old.
I have sister swag.
People still say swag.
Yeah.
Okay.
Patient: Okay.
Well, at least when I grew
Toe Bro: up, people did.
