Tony NevinGUEST
But it does work if you have a good laugh.
Tony NevinGUEST
And if you've ever seen the old film with Robin Williams, Patch Adams, that was all built on improving.
Tony NevinGUEST
Even if you've got a physical problem, if you're happier, you actually heal from it quicker.
Tony NevinGUEST
And if you're on any medication and you're happier, you respond better than...
Big Jay OakersonHOST
Yeah.
Big Jay OakersonHOST
Fucking Patch Adams.
ChristinePANELIST
Yeah.
ChristinePANELIST
Check your little butt out.
Mark O'NeillHOST
to market Jack's VHS release as if it was suddenly going to have a second wind on home video.
Mark O'NeillHOST
The way that Patch Adams did.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Because lots of people had Patch Adams on VHS, didn't they? Even though Patch Adams was shite.
Mark O'NeillHOST
Well, Patch Adams is not only
Eddie EdwardsHOST
shite, it's offensive.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
To be clear, if you don't know the story about Patch Adams, there is a real man named Patch Adams and the movie is based on his life.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
And when I say based on his life, you know Patch's girlfriend gets killed by the man who... he's insane but they're not treating him properly because they're trying to treat him with jokes and that is based on a real event that happened but it didn't happen to his girlfriend it happened to his close personal friend but they just changed the details around because they thought it made a better story at which point you're allowed to say fuck that movie Isn't that what happens in that movie? Because I don't really remember that movie at all.
Eddie EdwardsHOST
Yeah, that is part of that movie and it is notable for one important thing because at that woman's funeral, one of the mourners is Greg Sestero.
Big CatHOST
We start in the Queen City, where Ben Johnson was king.
Big CatHOST
As Caleb Robin Williams said, "It's not your fault if you doubt this fire, but you'll end up looking like Patch Adams with a clown nose." It came from all angles.
Big CatHOST
As DeAndre Taylor Swift said, "I've felt a hole like this never before and ever since." She was talking about some stupid breakup chick shit, TJ.
Big CatHOST
DeAndre was talking about 124 yards and three touchdowns.
Troy HaslingerGUEST
What I did is I basically was a man with no emotion who just wanted to focus on getting his sister better, and I remember going to see her at chemotherapy the very first time.
Troy HaslingerGUEST
And there's a movie called Patch Adams with Robin Williams that deals with the humor and the enlightenment of people, uh, being treated with cancer because it's such a serious disease.
Troy HaslingerGUEST
All I wanted to do was allow Holly an escape by making her laugh at chemotherapy, by not talking about her cancer as much as the person she was.
Troy HaslingerGUEST
Because people with cancer, they get asked on a daily basis, "How you feeling?" It's very normal and very admirable that people do that, but- The key is, is that my sister wasn't just cancer.
Suzanne LloydGUEST
What was that called?
Rich CorrellGUEST
Patch Adams.
Suzanne LloydGUEST
Patch Adams.
Suzanne LloydGUEST
Patch Adams is a lot like Dr. Jack, if you think about that, too.
Brad EastridgeHOST
Yeah, he's finding unorthodox ways of kind of curing people's mental states.
Brad EastridgeHOST
But Harold did
Jack ArchdaleHOST
You'd take
Louisa DaldinHOST

Ash MorfitHOST
Was it Patch Adams? Oh, was that the doctor who went around making people laugh? Laughter's the best medicine.
Ash MorfitHOST

Brett WilsonGUEST
And because I've seen what I saw in the system and because I've seen what I saw outside of the system and I know where the breakdown is, I'm not afraid to try to address the problem.
Brett WilsonGUEST
But when you try to keep things so that it's not, so that it just keeps going like the regular system, it's kind of like in the movie Patch Adams, right? You treat a disease, you lose, you win.
Brett WilsonGUEST
You treat people and I guarantee you, you win.
Brett WilsonGUEST
But the system was so used to treating the disease, they didn't really ponder how to work with the people and transference and talking to the patients was not something they did in the medical centers for years.
