Your Doctor Has Questions

Chris Morley and Kacy Peek

Have you ever wanted to know something you're too busy to learn? Have we got a podcast for you! Kacy Jo is a busy orthopaedic surgeon with lots of questions about lots of topics--What are the important volcanoes? What's up with Ponzi schemes? How does a record player work?--and no free time at all. Chris is a busy stay-at-home parent who loves trivia and fritters away his little free falling into Wiki holes. Every episode, Chris researches and teaches Kacy Jo about something she's always wanted to know about (or maybe something she just thought about in the OR).

    Doctor, Husband, Podcast, Spy

    What's up with all these spies? Did they really love me? Have we no sense of decency? The history of Russian espionage in the west, and especially "Illegals"--spies who operated without diplomatic cover. We get into Kim Philby and the Cambridge Five, Klaus Fuchs, the Rosenbergs, Hanssen and Ames, and the more recent clown shows.

    Your Doctor Has Answers! Squirt It Like You'll Hurt It (High Pressure Injection Injuries)

    What is a high pressure injection injury, and is it bad? (Spoiler: Yes. It's very bad). Following our quinquepisodinal* tradition, Kacy explains high pressure injection injuries. You might have heard them called "grease gun injuries." In short, it's when a high pressure fluid squirts with such force that it cuts into your body and shoots that fluid into you. It's nowhere near as sexy as it sounds. *I'm making this a word now. Sources: M.C. Cejin, A. Koyfman, B. Long, High risk and low incidence diseases: high-pressure injection injury, Am J Emerg Med, 88 (2025), pp. 120-125 NYTimes: 3 Hikers Dead After Volcano Erupts in Indonesia

    What is the Fed?

    Finally! The Fed! Top 3 friend of the pod Jamisen joins us to explain what the Fed is, what it does, and why we should care. What is a central bank? What's fractional reserve banking? What's the interest rate that everyone cares about? Should we audit the Fed? And, like, what is money anyway? We answer some of these questions on this show.

    YDHSpoilers: How Neon Is Your Demon?

    YDHQ takes on the 2016 glitzy, arthouse oddity, The Neon Demon and somehow lives to tell about it. The Neon Demon is the tenth movie by Danish weirdo, Nicolas Winding Refn, who's probably most known for his 2011 film, Drive, starring a young and taciturn Ryan Gosling. Demon stars Elle Fanning and features some truly awkward performances by Christina Hendricks, Keanu Reaves, Jenna Malone, and a couple of hungry Australians.

    Was Ned Kelly a Sheep?

    Who was Ned Kelly? Was he a sheep? Why did he wear a helmet? Could he read? "Yes!" Is the answer to at least one of these questions. We dive deep-ishly into the history of perhaps Australia's most iconic figure: Ned Kelly. Bushranger. Bareknuckle Boxer. Hero? Who can say. Sources: Where is the Green Sheep?

    How Real Is Your TV?

    Outwit. Outlast. Outlisten. Whence came all that awful not-at-all-real reality television in the 2000s, anyway? Chris walks through the history of reality television, all the way back to hidden microphone shows on radio in the 1940s, through Chuck Barris' reign of outre gameshows and political assassination (!?!) in the 1960s, An American Family on PBS in 1970, the Real World, and the explosion of reality shows as we crested the new millennium. **UPDATE: We had some issues with the audio file initially. Should be fixed now!** Sources: Cue the Sun, Emily Nussbaum Wiki: Chuck Barris Wiki: Allen Funt Wiki: Mark Burnett NYTimes: Huge Snowball Fight in New York Escalates After Police Arrive NYTimes: D.A.

    BONUS: YES YES YES!

    BONUS TRACK: This is just a monster cut of every time I agreed with Kacy Jo on our most recent episode. I think it really shows off how smart I am.

    Your Doctor Has Answers! How to Cut Off a Finger

    Not that you'd want to. Kacy explains why a person might ask a surgeon to cut their finger cut off, why removing a whole finger can sometimes be better than keeping a bit of one, what the procedure looks like, and what happens after. Gripping stuff (har har). Sources: Years of med school, residency, fellowship, and practice.
