Closing Poem and Final Thoughts

Okay, this is a tough episode, people. I got a call a couple of weeks ago from people representing Victoria Jackson, a very funny young lady I started out with. She did six years on Saturday night live, standup, Johnny Carson's favorite. and I heard that she, she said she got diagnosed with stage four terminal cancer U You would think that's the end. She wrote a book, not dead yet. Before she goes, she's doing a tour promoting a book about her life, about what it's like to deal with Terminal cancer And she's still funny and doing comedy and wanted to come and talk about it I'll be honest, I'm incredibly uncomfortable U I don't know how this is going to go u W wish me luck Goria Jackson is going to talk about her bunch her. talk about you Okay, H we will. We will. I doing that. You can never get enough me. I always say that There's never enough me But here's what I want to say. So she is Victoria Jackson is a very funny young lady We'll talk about And we'll talk about your book, But before you start, what? Young lady. Well, you're much younger than me. Thank you for being so kind. People aren't kind to you. Fr the minute I walked in, I'm like Oh, by the way, can you make that camera angle A little higher so it's looking down on me. You want it higher? Okay. let's. I would love that too Y Can we do that higher? Because if you just put it a little higher, it would take twenty years off right here and then people would enjoy the rest of the show You think people are judging your looks, You look adorable. I'm judging It's my profession. We have a lot of Her. Yeah just make it higher so that it's looking down on me. And did somebody take a picture of that you said she didn't know whether she wanted to wear the sweater or not the sweater. And she said She is it slimming? I don't know Cack is always. Yeah. I think I should keep it Okay. And then I was gonna to let somebody take a picture of the screen before and after. See, that's why you're so kind because you could have just been like Another vame stupid actress over five trying to cling to her youth. I'm king that, but I'm just not saying it out loud. It' sweet. Is that nice? That's what makes me That's what makes me mean and that's sweet that you're not saying it. I asked them to blur out my camera. Yeah, she doesnt even haveos. And this is a child. I not a child. Well, yesterday, me and my two friends my entourage We went to the Chateau Maront And we Nedropper. And we pretended like we were writing a movie, making movie, and we were taking videos of each other And they're vainer than me. they would not release one of them from my Instagram because of their chins and everything. I'm not the only Well, your entourage is back there. One of your entourages, you want to look at the screen, you think she's going to be happy with that? There's Face Tune. Do you use Faceune? I use Faceetune Do you know what FaceTune is? Oh it' like a fil It edits photos. It is for you. haveave the person come forward that's saying it becausecause I don't know if it's somebody. She told me there's two people. she trusts three people walk in. Yes. I think it could go a little higher Really? Yeah. what's it gonna hurt No one. Make it a little higher Okay, and then we'll continue This is Well, your entourage is saying. Okay, everyvery girl does this on Instagram. None of them do this. Wellere here's one Gandler, she wants it. Okay, well let's talk while they're doing. They brought in the shortest girl so the camera looks like it's the highest they could be. I think he Yeah, the leg. We had a lot to talk about So far, we've been here for a long time and we're just talking about camera angles. Yeah. She's not the first one. Everyone comes in and changes our angles and our camera. I've never had like a down, it's like this is our downward dog episode. No, it's good. Is that good? Is it is it Take a picture of one of the takeake a selfie of the screen or a hurry. It's not a selfie. Don't be sorry. who you apologize? Noie At least listen to your started. Now come here and show her that picture you just took That's your entourage. What's her name? The lady with the pig p. Polo from Peri. Lolo from Peri. Yeah You're from Paris Well you don't have an ac.y was she? Did you lie to her That's good. Yeah, you happy? We can begin I'm happy, I'm happy. Good. We went to Paris together That's not where she's from Well I went to France with her. She's not from F. Yeah, but we're thinking of moving there so we're just envisioning that Can I ask a question, though that you're saying that? and I'm not I don't want to be too This is the book, which is out now not dead yet, which is I cannot wait to read. You just gave it to me now, so I haven't had a chance to read it, but I know it's like poems and talking about what it is. And just right off the bat, you have been diagnosed with terminal cancer Yeah. Yeah.' serious. No Yeah I would say so. I mean, it's It's pretty scary, it's serious. Terminal cancer versus eczema. I would think I would rather have eema. No shit eczema Don't shit on eczema. You don't know what they go through You think eczema's worth an I'm not comparing. I'm just saying don't bring up another ailment and compare. I don't know. Would you compare terminal cancer to eczema Um, I think cancer may be worse Okay, but it I'm not going argue with. It depends It depends because eczema could be years of suffering and some people might get cancer and die the next week and that would be less suffering So eczema's worse. I like the way she looks at that So the but do you have did they give you like you say termin we're all terminal. I know. They don't give you like a date Well, not a specific date, but they'll go, we give you three years and we give you two years. No, they didn't. And the funny thing is, it's like Why do you think you have terminal cancer? And they can't give you a date because God's the boss and God is in control My doctor said one of his patients died in a car accident on the way to their visit. so Oh how lucky is that Yeah. Nobody didn't die. the cancer didn't get. Yeah, I would like to die fast I told the Lord, I pray this a lot Dear Lord, when I die, because he's the boss Whenever it is, could I please have no pain No sadness and no fear And um Then I concluded that would be in my sleep If you're sleeping when you die, that's probably like the best. You know, in Canada where I'm from, My sister in law uh terminal cancer. And then she chose, I think we treat humans worse than we treat pets because she got to choose and went to sleep You mean euthanasia pill? It was an IV Okay, well, I just watched that movie About the euthanasia pill And I have very strong feelings on both sides of it because as a Christian, You believe that every moment in life is sacred and important and that if you can lead one more person to the The Messiah, Yeshua Jesus. He was Jesus saying I know you're trying the rabbi. tryrying to include us. I'm trying to say that Isaiah seven fourteen. Okay No I get it. and I appreciate it Peside the Messiah and come from Bethlehem, born by a Virgin of Sarah So I tell my Jewish friends it's their Messiah that I believe in. But anyway, um So the Bible teaches us to I think every day is This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it and that it's important we could lead one more soul to the Lord, to eternal life to heaven So on that aspect in that aspect It would be a sin to kill yourself On the other side, if you are writhving in pain Unbearable. And I've had a little taste. I had hip pain about a month ago. because I have cancer on my pelvic bone, five vertebrae, And I had a tumor here and they radiated it, it was leaning on my windpipe, breast cancer cells. twowo years ago, and I couldn't breathe and I was coughing all the time And I radiated it and I can breathe right now So I'm so grateful Every time I pray, I'm like, Lord, a million thank you. I' have so many bless. That's I said to my sister in law before she did it, I said, areren't you afraid to die? She said, No, I'm afraid to suffer. So that's exactly what you're saying. Suffering But so I see that I see why it would be attractive to take a pill That makes your cruciating pain and because I told the doctor, I go, if you don't give me a pain pill for my hip pain, I guess I'm just gonna drink like five bottles of vodka till I pass out because can't I'm a tough person. I'm a gymnast, but I can't endure this pain Anyway, I don't have still do gymnastic? Do you still do canan you still do a handstand? I did it until I was sixty five. I'll tell you. How old are you know? sixty six. So you were doing handstands for you haven't done a handstands in a year. Photos in there. like last yearss There's photos of me doing it in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower cover Well, that's when I was young But I have it at sixty five in front in Greece and Turkey And I did it in She used to always be on the tonight showow Johnny Cars. Upside down doing poems. It was the most adorable funny Wing And I think that's what I never thought it was funny, but I didn't. Oh let me tell you what I thought of it Because when I went, we started about the same time. And u I'm still thinking about pain pills and motrin and I mean not You want to finish that Mor Morphame. T end that con. O more? No, to end that conversation. They It's socially acceptable to be in the hospital and be in pain and they slowly kill you with morphine.. So what's the difference between the pill and that? anyway, I have a lot of It's a deep subject. But it is. Long story short Um yeah, suffering, bad Not suffering good. Okay. Hello So back to You know what? the good news is you don't have eczema and that's what I keep coming back to that keeps me And. They make really good pain bills now. so But you're using the word terminal Well, I am terminal. I have metastasized breast cancer. It started in twenty fifteen I had a double mastectomy radiation chemotherapy I had nothing for ten years. It came back as the windpipe thing And they and now it's There's little It's everywhere Ad bone cancer But I don't have any pain right now, so Well that's good. So who cares what I have if I'm not in pain? Who cares? Who cares? Who cares? You don't care? I mean, I wouldn't even know. If I had amnesia And right now, I wouldn't even you know I have no pain right at this moment, but you're still getting treatment, right? I get scanned every three months., but you got a magic pill, you said. I take a magic pill every day. It's called Iy Brans And I looked it up online. Wait. You didn't you don't know what it is, You have to look it up tell you anything? No, I think you're not asking. I've asked a little bit, but I Okay, so they gave me eyebrans and I googled it. And it says, people who take this live two years longer than they would have lived if they had not taken it So I assumed that meant I'm gonna to live two years. How long have you been taking it? Two years. Oh shit. All right You might get to watch me go to heaven right now. Wit, L that, that's click. That's that'll be the That's that go J died right now. viral. Yeah. You want to How long do you have I don't know. it' I was talking about the podcast, not your life. Oh. talk Oh I'm free today until seven.. But But the pill is not something that you looked up like as alternative medicine. It's something your doctor' prescribed. Oh yeah, it's legitimate, you know, the medical community who's supposedly trying to kill us because they're making money on cancer. So do you believe in that? do you believe have you tried anything alternative I eat more broccoli I I take Ipermectin Um When I feel like it, like I my doctor, I said, Is I mactin good? And he goes, What do you have a tape worm Was it the doctor that knows you have cancer or was it the regular medical Iustry doctor. whereere did you get verect? Wh pose the ivermactin? Well, that's the Joe Rogan medicine? Well, because it's for animals, right? It's for horses. Well it's for lots of things and the thematriots The government would not let people have it for COVID. and I took it for COVID, I'd get it under the table, under black market becausecause the government wouldn't let anyone have it. So broccoli you' allowed to have. I made it yeah. I made it through COVID with Iverectin I think it helps me get over it but Did you get COVID I did twice, but I never got the vaccine. I don't believe in it. My husband got the vaccine and he got COVID I dont I think though I made the mistake, but but maybe he had less I'm going get trouble saying things. We already got RK. You had RFK on and that did not go well for us. Why was he not? No He did not know that. People comments did People in the comments And I think people are gonna comment on this one going Wh? Because I don't believe in broccoli I don't. And I don't give a shit what people say, but I don't think anybody should have broccoli. They're tiny little trees and we're not letting them exist.. How did it cut to that?ad? sad We will H stand in front of the musica statue in Nashville You did a hand stand there which I've done them everywhere I go and for a little collection and when I thought, well, you know, you're dying, get your thing in the Old Testament, the Jewish Bible God said to Hezekiah, the good king of Israel. I know this, but tell them. Get here. get Things in order, you're gonna die soon. Okay. And then Hezekiah started crying and then God said, Okaykay, fifteen more years But he but so When I was getting my things together, I thought, get a grave You know, Do you have a plot, makeake a will and Finish your book I did. I went without a grave. Oh, where is that Well, it's in the book. I took a handstanded picture in front of it Are you going to be it's Would you be buried lying down or would you do it like vertically like hands first And just a feet coming out instead of a towing stone Well And then I have to tell you the significance of the handstand and why it's a thing. Oh Am I going feel bad for what I just said? No Now, what were so many topics we're talking about My dad is really bad at this He jumps. He jumps I'm not good at the podcast. The podcast is my low point. Me too, but we always bring it back to the Here Here's my story about getting a grave I said, Honey, I have stage four terminal cancer And you're getting old too. Wh aren't we getting a grave? Where you talking to?ouse? Oh, okay. I didn't know that didn I said, we don't want to burden our kids with having to do all this. And he goes, yeah, okay I go, Well, when are we going to get the grave? And he goes, Well, I'm afree tomorrow. Is that how he sounds? That's my impression And then I go, you one I' gonna to say you and your husband have similar voices. Yeah. Well, he's kind of like this. I That's be amazing. So I go I go, honey, you don't want to get a grave because you don't want to be buried with me. You want to be buried next to your next wife or your next girlfriend after I die. And he goes No, no, I want to be pared next to you And I'm like Okay, then let's go get a grave. So the next day we go to the cemetery And I said, I don't want to be under dirt and I don't want to be burned And I said, I want to be in that drawer thing. Like a mausoleum. like Yeahah. And she goes, a crypt And I said, yeah, but that sounds so cryptic, right? It does, it sounds negative, but try to make a positive. Cryptic So I said, Yeahah, there drawer and she goes, Well, we don't have any more regular cryptps left, but we do have a tandem crypt. And I go, what's that? And she goes two people in one drawer and the first person who passes goes feet first, the second person who passes goes head first, so your head tos a head for eternity No, wait, feet first and then head first. Feet first and then Head first so your heads are touching Your heads are touching It's not next to each other. Oh, I was thinking on top of each other sixty nine. I was thinking like you were he's going like going down on you for eternity. But if you put him on top, wouldn't that be fun to have a guy go down on you for eternity? You probably have to pay extra for that. Oh yeah. An extxtra sixty nine dollars. So then my dad. Oh, your dad, o. I mean my husband. Okay. That's for was we. That was wed. You were mentioning that until I talked about going down on you and that's what's bothering me So that's where I am. Okay, go ahead. Okay So let me go back. What are we time? You should go back. So this nighting. The lady says Oh No, back before that. Oh. So then the lady says, Feet the feet or head the head. You're gonna be in one long drawer Hs ahead And I go, that's even more romantic than I And then my husband goes Is it extra for ear muffs? That' a cute joke. That's a great joke.
