The Strange Things Glenn Said Under 'Truth Serum'

Glenn recently took a trip to the back doctor. After taking Propofol, he started talking very "honestly" to the nurse and his wife.

"I had this procedure done at like 1:30 in the afternoon. Five o'clock, my wife comes into the bedroom. She said, Well, weren't we a little talkative? You had a few things that were interesting to hear," Glenn recalled.

What exactly did he say? Read below or watch the clip to learn more about his bizarre experience.

Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors:

GLENN: So I go to this doctor -- Pat and I go to the same back doctor. And he's -- he's unbelievable with backs. Dr. Vera in Texas here. And he's unbelievable. Really competent. The only guy that I would ever trust sticking, you know, a needle into my spine.

And I go in. Whenever I throw my back out, once a year, once every year and a half, I'll have to go in and get a steroid injection.

JEFFY: Yeah, you know, after you move in a chair. You don't want to do that.

GLENN: Shut up. Shut up.

PAT: You weren't careful enough. And we were all worried, "Is he going to move in that chair? Because he is sitting there, but will he move?" And you did.

JEFFY: It looked like it. And you did.

PAT: And we were all, my gosh, he shouldn't have moved. He should not have moved.

GLENN: It couldn't get worse -- the last time this happened to me, I picked up a pencil. Remember?

PAT: Yes.

JEFFY: Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right.

GLENN: I picked up a pencil, and I threw my back out.

JEFFY: That's right. We thought you were healthier now.

GLENN: This time I just moved in my chair.

PAT: He moved, and it was over.

GLENN: Yeah, the muscle tone on me is nonexistent.

(laughter)

But, anyway, so -- oh, my gosh.

So we go in, and they give you -- what is it called? Propofol? How do you say that?

PAT: I don't know.

GLENN: It's the stuff that killed Michael Jackson, right?

JEFFY: Yes.

PAT: Oh, yes.

GLENN: And it's -- it's truth serum.

JEFFY: Ooh, wait. What?

GLENN: Yeah, it's truth serum.

PAT: Yeah, this is nothing you want to get anywhere near.

GLENN: Yeah, Jeffy, you got to stay away from this stuff.

JEFFY: No. No.

GLENN: So I have said to my wife, I don't know how many times -- every time I go under, "I got to bring my phone because I got to hear what I'm saying to them. You know, what am I saying to the doctor? What are they saying about me?" You know, they could get you to say anything. Okay?

JEFFY: Right.

GLENN: And they're like, "No, no. It doesn't happen."

JEFFY: I should probably take you next time just to make sure you're safe.

GLENN: Yeah, no.

So I go in, and I -- and once -- they roll you onto a table in this room that's about 4 degrees. And they strip you down, and they stick your butt up in the air. And then they say, "Count backwards," and you're out. Okay. And -- oh, I forgot. They put wash all over your back to sterilize your back. And then when you're out, then the doctor comes in, jabs a needle in your spine, and calls it a day

PAT: First they make sure that wash is about 38 degrees below zero, when they put it on. They chill it nicely before they put it on.

GLENN: I asked them nicely if they could put it in the freezer to get it a little colder.

PAT: Yeah.

JEFFY: So far, you're close to a lot of my sites.

(laughter)

GLENN: Okay. So -- so I come back in apparently -- this is according to my wife. And we get home. And you're not supposed to sign anything. You're not supposed to make any major transactions. Any decisions. Sign any contracts or anything for like four or five hours after. And they recommend you just go home and try to get some sleep.

And so -- I had this procedure done at like 1:30 in the afternoon. 5 o'clock, my wife comes into the bedroom. She said, "So you awake?" And I said, "Yeah."

Well, weren't we a little talkative?

JEFFY: Oh, boy.

GLENN: And I'm like, what?

And she said truth serum. You had a few things that were interesting to hear.

And I said, "Oh, dear God, what did I say?"

She said, I'm rolling back into the room, and I apparently look directly at the nurse and said, "I am so full of gas, I was holding it so I wouldn't fart in the doctor's face."

(laughter)

And she said, "It's okay. That happens a lot."

PAT: Oh, man.

JEFFY: Yeah.

GLENN: Then I turn and I look at my wife, and out of the blue, I apparently say, "I hate the little Christmas Italian tchotchkes you've got all over the house, especially the ones in the kitchen." And then I'm out. I don't say anything.

PAT: And does she actually have those in the kitchen?

GLENN: Yeah, yeah. And I do hate them, but I've never told her I hated those. I had no reason to tell her I hated those. I had about an hour of backpedaling.

PAT: That is weird. That is weird.

JEFFY: There's no backpedaling after that.

GLENN: She said, "You were passionate about it." She said, you said, I'm sorry that I -- or, I'm so full of gas. I didn't want to fart in the doctor's face.

And, you, I hate those Italian tchotchkes you've got in the house.

JEFFY: That's never ever going to go away. You know that now. Never going to go away.

GLENN: No.

JEFFY: Every year: "I'll just put these over here, the ones you hate. These will just be right over here." Never.

GLENN: That's exactly right.

JEFFY: That's always there.

GLENN: Can you imagine.

PAT: And, by the way, I've been cheating on you for a year and a half.

GLENN: Can you imagine if you really had something bad?

PAT: Wow. That could be it.

JEFFY: Yes, I can. I can imagine.

PAT: Yes, you can.

JEFFY: I can imagine.

GLENN: Jeffy can't walk. Why don't you get that spinal thing?

JEFFY: No, no. I'm fine.

JEFFY: We're good. I'm fine. It's good to go right here, Doc.

GLENN: She was not happy with me. She was not happy.

PAT: Oh, man.

Seriously, you'll never hear the end of it. Every year.

GLENN: Oh, my gosh.

And I'm the laughingstock. Now going back to the doctor, and I'm the guy who was, you know, worried about farting in his face.

Now, they apparently had a conversation, and they were laughing about it. Her -- my wife and the doctor.

JEFFY: It does always happen.

PAT: It's got to happen a lot.

GLENN: Always happens.

PAT: Yeah, yeah.

GLENN: Can you imagine how horrible of a --

JEFFY: It's embarrassing.

GLENN: What a -- I don't want a job where somebody is always farting in my face. That's not a job I want.

PAT: Or ever.

GLENN: Or ever. Ever.

PAT: I don't want a job where it ever happens, let alone always.

GLENN: I want a job where that never happens.

PAT: Right. Like here. Hopefully there's no reason --

GLENN: It will never happen. I've spent 45 years, or 40 years in this industry, never has that happened.

PAT: No.

GLENN: He might make more money or have a sweet job or whatever it is. But he all the time has people farting in his face.

PAT: Not good.

GLENN: No.

PAT: Not worth it. I don't care how long you went to medical school. I don't care what the payoff is now. How many millions of dollars a year you make, not worth it. No. No.

(laughter)

GLENN: I asked --

PAT: I'll take my high school education and sit right here.

GLENN: Once you have --

JEFFY: We see those, which are getting a little old, but we still see them. The mothers and fathers recording their kids after the dental work, and they tell them something bad. And they cry.

GLENN: Oh, I think that's horrible. It's horrible.

JEFFY: Everybody laughs. Ha, ha, ha.

GLENN: No, that's horrible.

JEFFY: I know, but Tania should do that with you. It's horrible with the kids, but you --

GLENN: Yeah, it's horrible with the kids. No, I think that would be fine.

Five times Glenn had J.D. Vance on his show and where he stands on key issues

We finally have an answer to the long-awaited question of who Trump will pick for his running mate, and it's none other than Ohio Senator and friend of the show, J.D. Vance. At the RNC in Milwaukee, Trump officially accepted the party's nomination as the Republican candidate and announced J.D. Vance as his running mate.

Glenn has had Senator Vance on the show several times to discuss everything from DEI to the Southern Border. If you are looking to familiarize yourself with the next potential Vice President, look no further, here are five conversations Glenn had with Trump's VP pick:

How RFK's example can help our nation in the wake of Trump's attack

How did you feel last Saturday when you heard the news that a former president of the United States narrowly avoided an assassin's bullet by a mere few inches? Were you angry at the media for their constant demonization of Trump and his conservative contingency? Did you blame the left for curating a political climate that fostered an assassination attempt?

In his immediate reaction to the news, Glenn pointed us back to a similar moment in American history: April 4th, 1968—the day Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.

"The best speech I've ever heard given was by RFK Sr. on the day Martin Luther King was killed" - Glenn

Robert F. Kennedy, the father of current independent presidential candidate RFK Jr., was en route to Indianapolis when he heard the terrible news. His security team, expecting violent outrage across the country, asked RFK Sr. to turn around and head back to safety. But as Glenn said, RFK Sr. believed in the good in people and demanded to give his speech. He arrived in Indianapolis Park late in the day, and he addressed the crowd of predominantly black campaign supporters.

There were no riots in Indianapolis that night.

The message RFK Sr. gave that night wasn't one of vengeance, hatred, or hopelessness, but of calm and goodness. He appealed to the best in people. He called for people to set aside their differences, anger, fear, and confusion and instead express love and compassion towards one another. RFK Sr. asked for wisdom and the pursuit of justice so that we might be resolute in our unity as the country faces another difficult chapter.

What we need in this country is love and wisdom and compassion toward one another.

Glenn has made a similar plea to our nation—a plea for unity and not to lash out in fear and anger. Don't use this time to blame your friends and family who disagree with you politically for what happened or to tell them "I told you so!" Instead, reach out with compassion and grace. This is a turning point in American history. Let's turn it upward, away from hatred and violence and towards unison and compassion.

Fortunately, President Trump walked away from his attempted assassination with very minor injuries. The bullet that wounded Trump's ear could have just as easily ended his life, and his survival is nothing short of a miracle.

Sadly, that miracle didn't extend to everyone attending Trump's ill-fated Pennsylvania rally. Three other people were shot. David Dutch and James Copenhaver, both Pennslyavia residents, are thankfully in stable condition. Corey Comperatore, however, tragically died after being shot while protecting his wife and daughter from the hail of gunfire.

“Corey died a hero."

Camperatore, a 50-year-old loving father and husband from Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania leaves behind his daughter Allyson, his wife Helen, sister Dawn, and many other friends and family. Camperatore was a man of service, having spent 43 years as part of the Buffalo Township Volunteer Fire Company and had worked his way to becoming the fire chief when he stepped down to spend more time with his daughter.

Corey's friends and family have nothing but good things to say about him, and judging by their testimonies, Corey's final heroic act was consistent with how the volunteer firefighter lived his life.

According to many people who knew Compertore, he was a true patriot who loved his country. He was a fan of President Trump. Compertore was very excited to attend Saturday's rally, which he expressed in his last social media post.

During his speech addressing the shooting, President Biden expressed his condolences to the Comperatore family, stating that "He was a father. He was protecting his family from the bullets that were being fired.”

Democrat Mutiny? These prominent Progressives and Democratic leaders DEMAND that Biden withdraw

Biden is still taking hard blows from both sides of the aisle after his abysmal performance in last month's presidential debate. As Glenn pointed out in his post-debate coverage, Biden came across as so incompetent that it has made many Americans scared that, should the country face a major threat, Biden would be unable to respond to it. This includes many Democrats, who are finally admitting that Biden isn't as fit as they have been claiming for the last four years.

Many names have already been suggested as potential replacements for the Democratic nominee, but many people, including some Democrats, don't believe Biden should even stay in office for the election. Here are some prominent progressives and Democratic lawmakers who have called for President Biden's resignation:
