I'm a Podstar not a Doctor

This week on I’m a Podstar, Not a Doctor, The American Pharaoh and Cuff Daddy take a walk down the fairway—and maybe a little down memory lane.

Golf has officially taken over their lives, and they’re not even mad about it. From early morning tee times to midlife wardrobe updates, the guys dive into how golf became more than just a hobby—it’s a lifestyle, a coping mechanism, and occasionally, a form of group therapy.

They also get real about aging in medicine, business burnout, and the art of not taking yourself too seriously (especially when you three-putt).

Big Gripe Energy

This week on I’m a Podstar, Not a Doctor, The American Pharaoh and Cuff Daddy are back with a full dose of chaos and questionable life reflections. They’re talking about their new golf obsession, the humbling reality of learning something new, and how a good attitude can sometimes be harder to find than a straight drive down the fairway. From airline horror stories to fast food loyalty, the guys trade personal anecdotes that somehow tie together parenting, orthopedic innovation, and why reality TV might be the truest mirror of modern society.

I'm a Podstar not a Doctor

In this episode of I’m a Podstar, Not a Doctor, The American Pharaoh and Cuff Daddy dive into the side of medicine you won’t find in textbooks: how doctors try (and sometimes fail) to take care of themselves while taking care of everyone else. They’re joined by fitness consultant Michael Coval, who breaks down why fiber maxing is trending, how accountability shapes real results, and what it actually takes to build sustainable health habits in a high-stress profession. From nutrition hacks to the big three of physician longevity—exercise, sleep, and recovery—the conversation blends humor, honesty, and a heavy dose of reality about burnout.

I'm a Podstar not a Doctor

In this episode of I’m a Podstar, Not a Doctor, The American Pharaoh and Cuff Daddy bring their signature mix of humor, honesty, and chaos. From questionable mustache choices to golf course confessions, the conversation takes some wild swings—literally. The docs vent about the never-ending headache of peer-to-peer reviews, dive into the financial pressures of modern medicine, and debate the importance of vibes over scores (on the course and in the OR). Of course, no episode would be complete without music talk. You’ll hear their take on surgical playlists, the art of OR DJ-ing, and how their recent SiriusXM experience inspired their very own ultimate soundtrack for surgery. 🔊 Listen to the Ultimate OR Bangers playlist here: Spotify Apple Music Tune in for laughs, rants, and the reminder that even surgeons just want good music, good golf, and maybe a good mustache.

We’re talking: Amino acids and injury recovery Peptides and performance What we eat vs. how we heal The fine line between biohacking and bro science

This week, Cuff Daddy and The American Pharaoh sit down with Dr. Alexis Dixon—an overall badass, foot & ankle surgeon, and glider pilot. Yes, really. We cover everything from building a solo orthopedic practice from scratch to launching a side hustle in medico-legal consulting (shoutout to OrthoLegal). Alexis breaks down how to create a clinic vibe that patients actually want to return to—and how to make the OR playlist hit every time. Also in this episode: Why “patient-first” isn’t just marketing fluff What flying planes and running a practice have in common Music in medicine: yes, it matters Consulting gigs that don’t suck the life out of you We cracked up, learned stuff, and might have rethought our side hustle game. Standard Podstar vibes. Ultimate OR Bangers playlist got some love too. 🎧 Apple Music 🎧 Spotify

Stay out of the Kitchen!

Cuff Daddy and The American Pharaoh are back moderately hydrated, and maybe even emotionally refreshed. After failing (or redefining?) the 75 Hard challenge, they dive into the real grind—surgery, mentorship, and maybe a little pickleball. Enter Dr. William N. Levine, orthopedic surgeon and certified legend. We talk shop about the surgical lifestyle, playing sports without tearing something, and how mentorship is way more than just checking boxes. From social media shoutouts that aren’t cringe, to handling OR chaos with calm, Dr. Levine drops insight bombs like it’s nothing. Also: • Are you genetically built to run on 4 hours of sleep? • The weirdly noble art of listening to patients • And the case for not retiring at 60 if you love your job It’s a little real, a little ridiculous—just how we like it.

Crackin' Necks and Cashin' Checks

Cuff Daddy and The American Pharaoh catch up with their old buddy Dr. Navid Nazemi—chiropractor, golf junkie, and lowkey philosopher. We talk about how he stumbled into chiropractic school, what it’s like running a practice, and why teamwork between docs actually matters. There’s plenty of bro-science, a little real science, and just enough introspection to make you think “huh, maybe there’s something to this.” We get into sports med, cracking backs, and whether music can actually heal—or at least make the OR playlist a little less trash. Oh, and podcasting? Way harder than it looks. Bonus Round: We built the Ultimate OR Bangers playlist so your next case has zero skips. 🎧 Apple Music https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/podstars-ultimate-or-bangers/pl.u-WabZvdVHe77azdg 🎧 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Q1gPpkPd1PFW2YffSQWLQ?si=mBkQD2pPTjm6LDedBHlpWA Come for the stories, stay for the chaos. You might even learn something.
