“Phil’s not doing well,” Jase said on the podcast. “According to the doctors, they’re sure that he has some sort of blood disease that’s causing all kinds of problems.”

Jase says the blood disorder has “accelerated” and “it’s causing problems with his entire body and he has early stages of Alzheimer’s so if you put those things together, he’s just not doing well. He’s really struggling.”

Phil‘s family is focused on making him comfortable amid his health struggles.

“We have a team of doctors then we have another set of doctors who are looking at all of the tests and they’re all in agreement that there is no curing what he has,” Jase said. “What do you do? We’re trying to make him a little more comfortable.”
