Pour a drink—this week’s Doctales with Cocktails gets spicy. Tim opens with NASCAR’s long, messy dance with diversity: from Drive for Diversity to Bubba Wallace calling out team dynamics, Kyle Larson’s hot-mic history, Danica Patrick’s marketability, and why fixing past racism can create new moral hazards when race and performance get mixed in the same bucket.

Then we swerve into home-improvement land: Chip & Joanna Gaines’ new series features two married dads with surrogate kids—lighting up evangelical comment threads over gay parenting, surrogacy, and what “trad values” actually mean when your brand is Christian-cozy Magnolia.

Crack the bourbon, hit play, and jump in the comments—we want to know: fan…or flinging turds?

Scrotum Botox, AI preachers, and emotional outbursts on Facebook — just another night with Drs. Tim and May. In this unfiltered episode of Doctales with Cocktails, the duo tackles how cosmetic fads and digital distractions reveal something deeper: a society starved for truth, peace, and real connection. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, uncomfortably honest, and surprisingly grounding.

What happens when a tech strategist steps into the emotionally charged world of pediatric vaccines? You get VAX Calc, and a no-BS conversation that shakes the foundations of medical conformity.

In this episode, Tim and May sit down with Chris Downey, founder of VAX Calc and former NVIC volunteer, to unpack the chaos of vaccine discourse. Drawing from over two decades in software and systems design, Chris shares how he built VAX Calc to give parents real agency in their child’s healthcare — without scare tactics or censorship.

You’ll hear how AI can humanize medicine, how character-based tools like “Tony” help parents navigate power dynamics in the exam room, and why true informed consent requires courage — not compliance. This isn’t just a tech solution. It’s a wake-up call for patients and practitioners alike.

From disappearing data to the dangers of dogma, we explore:

• Why vaccine risk info is buried — and how Chris is preserving it
• The flaws in the “trust your doctor” narrative
• How AI can empower patients rather than replace providers
• What pediatric visits have in common with mob tactics (yes, Tony explains)
