Sam, you're back. Are you okay?
You gotta tell us.

**Sam Parr** (0:54)
Hot look, can you see me?

**Shaan Puri** (0:55)
I can see you.

**Sam Parr** (0:56)
Here's my face, ready? Here's a smile.

**Shaan Puri** (0:59)
Handsome as ever, look at that.
So I saw in the video you posted on Facebook, well, we should tell people who don't know, who don't follow you on Facebook, we should tell what's going on. So Sam was out last week.

**Sam Parr** (1:09)
Yeah, I've been out for about two weeks now.

**Shaan Puri** (1:11)
It sounded innocent at first, you were just like, I'm not feeling, I don't know, you said it kind of got worse and worse, I got more and more scared. It was like, I'm not feeling great, to like, I think I have a kidney stone, to like, I gotta go to the hospital, to like, I have kidney failure, and I was like, what the fuck is going on?

**Sam Parr** (1:27)
Yeah, dude, it's crazy. So let me tell you this story. So I have a history of kidney stones. So at the hospital, they looked at my kidneys. I have about 30 kidney stones, which is a lot.

**Shaan Puri** (1:37)
And so at all times, or you've been, you've had them and passed them.

**Sam Parr** (1:41)
I've passed about eight. I have 30 in me as of right now.

**Shaan Puri** (1:45)
Oh, my God. That's not normal, right?

**Sam Parr** (1:47)
It's not normal. It's not good.
It's not bad. It just means you are going to be in pain like 30 times.

**Shaan Puri** (1:53)
Oh, my God.

**Sam Parr** (1:53)
And so the other day, like two weeks ago, I started getting a stone. I could feel them. I could feel them coming whenever they're about to come. And I go to the hospital and I pass it, and they give me morphine. And I'm like, I still feel sick. Like I was like, I feel ill, right? I don't feel well. And they're like, you're probably fine. Just like shake it off. Basically is what they said. And then like three days later, I woke up and I had this massive rash all over my chest. And I had still been feeling sick.
And to the point of like I couldn't my legs were hurting me. I couldn't like move. I couldn't like walk one day. I was like, I'm dying. I was like, I think my. So I go to the hospital and I was like, I think I'm having kidney failure. And they looked at it. They're like, yeah, you might have an infection or something's going on with your kidneys. So they do all these tests and like, nothing's wrong with your kidneys. They're like, yeah, you we see on the CAT scan, you passed the stone, but like your this shouldn't cause you pain.
And then eventually they're like, oh, wait, we think you have Lyme disease.
And so from I know that they just know. So Lyme Lyme disease is like they don't have like many tests.
Like so you kind of do it on symptoms. And so I had this like my my my teeth were hurting me so badly. I thought I had a toothache and then my arms were hurting me and my legs. Like I had all these nerve pain and that is like a Lyme disease thing.
And I felt like I had a fever, just like sick.

**Shaan Puri** (3:22)
And Lyme disease from a tick, right? A tick bite. Is that right?

**Sam Parr** (3:25)
From a little ass tick. A tick can be the size of a period at the end of a sentence, just tiny. And so I called Jack Smith. I go, Jack, man, something's wrong with me. Doctors can't figure it out. I go, this does not feel right. And he goes, I know the person you need to talk to. So I'm not going to say this person's name, but maybe I will one day. But basically, he puts me in touch with this person.
