In the midst of the bustling city of Las Vegas, I sit down with my dear friend Angelo Reyes. Angelo's strength is palpable as he takes us through his emotional journey battling terminal liver cancer, his life-saving liver transplant, and the challenges he faced securing adequate healthcare. His cultural reservations about seeking medical aid cast a unique light on the healthcare crisis, especially in the trying times of a global pandemic.


Angelo’s life was hanging by a thread, yet his determination to survive prevailed. Being handed a 30-day life sentence only to receive a miraculous liver transplant represents the wonders of modern medicine and the sheer will to live. We explore the unspoken heroes of the medical world, the organ donors, and their life-saving contributions to individuals like Angelo. The discussion then shifts to House Medicine, a non-profit organization providing medical procedures in countries like Honduras, pressing on the need for global access to quality healthcare.


As we wrap up, we find ourselves immersed in the world of boxing. A lively debate flares up about the prowess of Jake Paul and MMA fighters like Conor McGregor. We speculate on the hypothetical match between Dana White and Jake Paul, emphasizing the critical role of a strategic team in the fight game. We end our time reflecting on the power of friendship and support during challenging times, paying tribute to our friend Matt who is battling stage 4 cancer. In the end, Angelo's story isn't just about survival, it's about living life to the fullest, advocating for healthcare, and appreciating the bonds that keep us grounded.
