Hey, Ryan, should we do this?
Let's do this.
Okay.
Hello there I'm Ryan Reynolds,
Co-Chairman of the Welsh football club,
Wrexham AFC.
And I am Rob McElhenney
also Co-Chairman of the Welsh football club,
Wrexham AFC.
you know, at the heart of all sports
is competition
and Rob and I, I think, well,
we're pretty competitive guys.
We're so competitive in fact, that last year,
Ryan and I made a bet.
Did we.
I don't remember that.
Hmm.
Oh, you picked some up.
Good.
Hmm.
yes.
Yes, I did.
Uh, yeah, Rob and I both,
we turned 45 this year
and you know, part of being
this age is getting a colonoscopy.
It's a simple step
that could literally, and I mean literally
save your life.
Hmm.
So can we see it now?
No.
I would never normally
have any medical procedure
put on camera and then shared.
It's not every day that you can
raise awareness about something that will
most definitely save lives.
Going up.
Going in.
That's enough motivation for me to
let you in on a
camera being shoved up my ***.
Ryan.
Hello?
It's the first time you've had a colonoscopy.
Yeah.
And we're ****** filming it.
You're filming it.
It's just like also, it's just awful.
The procedure itself doesn't take long.
We talking you know 30
minutes, something like that.
It's stunningly effective.
I'm an eat a graham cracker
You did such a good prep
that I was able to find
an extremely subtle polyp
that was on the right side of your colon.
This was potentially lifesaving for you.
I'm not kidding.
I'm not being overly dramatic.
I mean, I love it.
This is exactly why you do this.
Okay.
You had no symptoms.
Yeah.
All right, man.
Home day.
Yeah.
I'm thrilled for you.
Thank you so much for this.
Seriously.
Thank you for pushing me to do this.
Can't believe you pumped all
that Aviation gin into my i.v.
I was out like a light.
This is the polyp
I put, I just
cut it off with the snare and it's gone.
You are interrupting the natural history
of a disease of something of a process, that could
could have ended up, you know,
developing into cancer and,
and causing all sorts of problems.
Instead.
You're not only diagnosing the polyp,
you're taking it out
so nobody would know that they had this,
but he reached the age of, of screening
45.
He got a routine screening
and there you go.
And that's why people need to do this.
They really need to do this.
This saves lives pure and simple.
They didn't find Rosebud up there?
My Rosebud was a sled I shoved up my ***
when I was a kid.
So...
Oh, that didn't seem so bad.
Do you wanna broadcast yours?
No.
Well, too bad *****
because we filmed it.
Those were your cameras?
All right. 90, get on the dot.
All good.
Thank you.
Just sit here.
Can I sit here to fill this out?
He's not listening.
I figure I can't go wrong in terms of
comparing myself to Ryan.
They either find nothing.
And that means my colon was cleaner than his,
or they find a polyp
All set.
And it's either bigger than his,
which is awesome
or it's smaller than his,
which means I had
less of an opportunity to have cancer
either way I win.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
Basically this test, a colonoscopy test
is the gold standard test
for the prevention of colon cancer.
So we think that colon cancer is a 100%
preventable disease if healthy people
get their periodic test.
Okay. We'll get started in a little bit.
Okay. Thank you.
Started watching your show I love it.
Oh, which one?
Um.
The Welcome to Wrexham.
Oh yeah.
Thank you.
One more
Rob
hi, you're all done.
You're in recovery now.
So easy.
Good.
How do you feel?
I feel great.
Good.
Can you lay on your back for me?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Can I get you water or apple juice?
How's my hair?
Beautiful.
You have the hat still on?
Can I take it off?
Yes.
Okay.
There you go.
Do you want a mirror?
No, thank you.
I'm not,
I'm not that that yain.
Not vat
yain.
Biscuits.
Gram crackers apple juice
So, first of all, I have no bad news.
Okay. Only good news.
And that is that today we found three polyps.
Um, they were small.
They were not a big deal,
but certainly a good thing
that we found them early and removed them.
Because you did such a great job with a cleanout.
It was spotless inside.
You crushed it and you made
the job really easy for us that way.
So is there anything that I can do.
from a preventative - that I can lower -
Right now I don't think in polyp formers
that there's strong evidence,
that a certain kind of diet makes a difference.
What does make a difference
is screening and surveillance.
So getting in on time is the key.
You made it so like so easy.
So amazing.
The staff has been incredible
all the way through the process.
I'm really happy to have you congrats.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
I'll see you.
Uh,
I'll see you in a couple years, too.
Absolutely amazing.
Thank you.
Well that didn't seem so bad.
