Speaker 4: She goes it's either a blood clot in your left.

00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: So they take me down to get a cat and

168
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 4: then I see the beauty of the Pitts, the bad

169
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 4: part of the Pittsburgh work ethic. Finding out that you're

170
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: working five shows in a Steelers game while you have pneumonia, Like,

171
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: we just do that up here, we don't.

172
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 5: That's fine. I don't worry about no, I'm fine I

173
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 5: don't worry.

174
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: I'm fine having orange juice. You'll be all right.

175
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: He needed ginger ol, so it comes back, but I

176
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 4: got it. I love the little technician in there, Bob.

177
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 4: He must have been doing this on a forty years

178
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: and he had that Pittsburgh tone. I'm really filled with

179
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: gratitude forget me, ah, but he had that tone about him.

180
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 4: He's the guys. He's the good teacher in elementary school.

181
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: He's the guy that runs the dangerous ride at Kenny Wood.

182
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 4: He's the guy that operates something at the bank and

183
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 4: just does that thing perfectly every day. Because what they

184
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: do is they tell you the information they need you

185
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 4: to have, and no matter what you say back to them,

186
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 4: they redirect you back to the information they want you

187
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: to have.

188
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 5: But it was so great.

189
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: He's like, Okay, Bill, this is gonna go in and

190
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: it's gonna get hot in your neck. You're gonna feel

191
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 4: like you're peeing your pants, but you're not keep your

192
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 4: arms crossed.

193
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: I go, okay, Bob, I appreciate that. You go.

194
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 4: Where are you from? Bobby goes Manessa, Listen, this is

195
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 4: gonna feel hot. It's gonna make you feel like you're

196
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 4: peeing your pants. You're not keep your arms crossed.

197
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: That's good. I'm from Swissfeld. That's good.

198
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 4: Okay, listen, it is gonna feel hot. And then I

199
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: got him because then I did it to him on purpose.

200
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 4: I go, I go, uh, I got boy. The weather's

201
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 4: nice back here. And then he started, I go, you

202
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 4: got to go. It's gonna feel hot. I gotta keep

203
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 4: my arms crossed. It's very good, very good. And so

204
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: they get to de and me and everything, and then

205
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 4: we go back up and then they come in. They say, okay,

206
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: it's pneumonia. And the pneumonia the problem is it's taking

207
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: your heart into what they call a fib, a butterfly

208
00:09:59,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: a fib.

209
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: Jim Henson died.

210
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then they come in and they give you

211
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 4: the They try to give you the bad news, real, real,

212
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 4: calmly like they're like, okay, so here's what's happening. The

213
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 4: infection is causing your heart to go over drive. But

214
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 4: there's two chambers of your heart. The top one pumps blood,

215
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: the bottom one pumps blood. The top one isn't pumping,

216
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 4: it's quivering. And the problem with that is sometimes it

217
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 4: can stir blood around and cause stir up a clot

218
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 4: and if it pumps when there's a clot, well that

219
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: can shoot out and send a aneurysm to your brain

220
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 4: and kill you.

221
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 5: Well, what are we doing about that? What you got next?

222
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: She goes, Okay, well, I'm gonna get you on some

223
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: beta blockers so we could get your numbers down to

224
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 4: a manageable number.

225
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 5: Uh.

226
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 4: And then we got to fight this infection. So I said,

227
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: all right, So they start me on antibiotics. And then

228
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: they got to take me to the bigger hospital, which

229
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: was Inn where mccanlean's, which again mcnless, uh mickay I

230
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 4: land I have never visited, so uh. But then we

231
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: get down there and those folks were unbelievable, man. And

232
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: uh they got me in there and the young staff

233
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: down there, that's where I saw the beauty of the

234
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh work there. I think these people when you hear okay, han,

235
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: let me tell you what we're gonna do.

236
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: Mm hm.

237
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 5: And you grew up here, you got I'll be all right, yeah,

238
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 5: one way or the other, you know.

239
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 4: And uh and man, they just started putting stuff in

240
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 4: me and then they got the numbers to go. What

241
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: was your fear level? At this point, Randy, this is

242
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 4: the weirdest part. I didn't have any fear for me

243
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 4: at all. My fear is always leaving my wife and kids.

244
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: No fear, but because I've lived a charm life. And

245
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that to be brave or like I'm

246
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: some badass. I just I have led my life with love.

247
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 4: I have lived well for the most part. I've left

248
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 4: places better than I came into him. And so there's

249
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: I didn't I have any fear about me. My fear

250
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 4: is won't Patty. I don't want to leave him alone,

251
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: you know.

252
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 5: And uh uh.

253
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 4: They they started like they need to get my numbers.

254
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 4: They were my heart was jumping from one hundred to

00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,800

00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 4: who I was. They had no idea who I was.

283
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,400

284
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 4: I say beautiful, I mean and the way they did

285
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,560

287
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 4: cardiologist came in. I think his name is Bob Luffer's

288
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 4: real nice guy. Now he is older, he knew, he

289
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: knew who I was. He come in and he goes, well,

290
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 4: he goes, is this going to be funny? I said, well,

291
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: I'll let you know when I get out here if

292
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 4: there's a bit in this. Let's get down to business.

293
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: But he he started getting me on on on the

294
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 4: right the track and uh and he says this. He goes,

295
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 4: all right, so he goes, here's the deal. We're going

296
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 4: to fight this infection back. He goes, but now, since

297
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 4: you put your heart in aphib he goes, we have

298
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: to get it back into what they call sinus rhythm.

299
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: And he goes, we have three ways to do that.

300
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: He goes, okay, you're the diseases are. The infection is

301
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 4: going to go away, and your heart will slip back

302
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 4: naturally into that rhythm. If it doesn't, we have two options.

303
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 4: We're going to either thank.

304
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: You baby finger in the butt. No.

305
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: No.

306
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: I asked that.

307
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: He's like, that doesn't help, but it's not covered, but

308
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 2: I would have paid. It's like.

309
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 11: Coming that.

310
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: Help, not really, but some.

311
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 5: People like it.

312
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: All I'm asking is you kiss my neck's hot.

00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: Crossed.

314

Speaker 4: But then he says this he goes, you know, he goes, uh,

315
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: he goes to get it back. He goes, we can

316
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 4: We're either do an ablazion or they go in and

317
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 4: they if there's no clod in the heart, then they

318
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: try to find the nerve that's missfiring and they cauterize it.

319
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 5: He goes.

320
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: Or he goes, and I suggest this is the one

321
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 4: we'll probably do with you. We'll put you on the table,

322
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 4: we'll stop your heart, and then we'll hit you with

323
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 4: the paddles and restart you.

324
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: Like yeah, I'm like, you're going to reboot me literally,

325
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 5: you know.

326
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: I'm in Pittsburgh something and there's a there's a guy

327
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 4: named Augie.

328
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: Would die hard to jump or table just hit him.

329
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 12: You know.

330
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: It's connected to the megatouch machine on the bar.

331
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, they started playing ruin a good all night to take.

332
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 12: Off and call the Dynasty and let me get I

333
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 12: needed them later, I believe me.

334
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: All I want to hear is boom. So I go,

335
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 4: all right, Doc, well we'll do you know whatever we

336
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 4: got to do. So now I'm alone in the room

337
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 4: and I'm looking at the machine and I'm watching my

338
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 4: numbers go from eighty to one hundred eighty to one hundred.

339
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 4: Nothing's changing. So all I'm thinking about is this die

340
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 4: hard moment I'm gonna have. And then uh, Tuesday, Tuesday,

341
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: Wednesday morning, at twelve fifty two am, I was up

342
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 4: because I couldn't sleep. I'm watching I looked over at

343
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: the numbers and the number said eighty eight, and I said,

344
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 4: all right, all right, that's a good number. And then

345
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 4: I looked back twenty minutes later and it was like ninety.

346
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 5: I was like, okay, that's good. Twenty minutes later I

347
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 5: look back and it was a eighty seven, and again

348
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: I go, I think I might have slipped into I might.

349
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: Exactly eighty eight was my graduating class, and yeah, exactly,

350
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: And I thought, okay, maybe I slipped back in. And

351
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 4: then the nurse at four am was so cool because

352
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: she came in and let me know that's what happened.

353
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: You know, usually they'll wait in the morning sort of

354
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: the doctor can come take credit with that.

355
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 5: But she came in.

356
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 4: She goes, I just want you to know that your heart,

357
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 4: your heart broke the right way, and it's uh, it's

Speaker 4: at Monday morning, like I will go through the plane.

416

00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 4: then tell him how you got me on a plane.

418
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 7: Well, I said to him, if this were happening to me,

419
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 7: would you put me on a plane? And he could

420
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 7: not answer us. So to the hospital we went.

421
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 5: So she crushed you with the first question. It's like that.

422
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 4: It's like that scene in one of them m A

423
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 4: fighters were like one guy does all the dancing around stuff,

424
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: and the other guy's just quiet, and then the crazy

425
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 4: guy runs towards him and then just gets.

426
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: Knocked out with one shot. There's nothing I could do.

427
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: I couldn't argue that. So I don't know where we were.

428
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 5: So I'm sorry. My brain ain't still ain't working.

429
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,480

Speaker 6: cigarettes joking.

431
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 5: It was the numbers thing. So I looked at the numbers.

432
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 4: It's the middle of the night and they're holding to

433
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 4: the woman said you your your heart did slip back

434
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:18,119

Speaker 4: the next morning and he goes, Okay, guys, it's uh,

436
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: it's it's slipped into the right They call it sinus rhythm.

437
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 4: So your heart's beating the right way. Now we're going

438
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 4: to fight disinfection. Don he goes, but uh, here's the deal.

439
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 4: You're probably going to be on beta blockers and blood

440
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 4: thinners for the foreseeable future, and you need to get

441
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: a cardiologist when you go back home.

442
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: Uh, but we're going to keep you one more.

443
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 4: Day today just to get you filled with fluids and medicine.

444
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 4: Then you can take some stuff with you. And then

445
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 4: they had originally told us, look, don't go home till

446
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 4: Saturday in case we have to do a procedure. So

447
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 4: we we thought, you know what, man, we canceled everything

448
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: at home. Let's just let's stay in Pittsburgh and get

449
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 4: strong and uh, and we're gonna go home Saturday. So

450
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 4: so when day was actually a nice day at the hospital,

451
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: can Acy come out and visited me. And then uh,

452
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 4: and then God bless him, Jim Rooney came out to

453
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: visit me, and uh, yeah, because we were with him

454
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 4: at the game Sunday and he uh, he came in

455
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 4: and that made everybody freak out because they're young kids

456
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: and they don't know sitcoms and watch TV, right, so

457
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 4: they can't figure out why Jim Rooney's in my room.

458
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 4: And so one of the little young girls goes, are

459
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 4: you like an old player or something?

460
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: As a kicker?

461
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: A kicker?

462
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 5: So Jack cam nice to meet.

463
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 4: I honestly think that Jim got the Chief's heart. I

464
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: think of the Rooney's Jim as the chief's heart. So

465
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 4: we got to do all that and he really is

466
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 4: salt of the earth. And then uh, and then I

467
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: texted our boy Joey O'Connell from Penn Hills and this

468
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: is the thing that made me laugh so hard that

469
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: I had tears in my eyes. Uh. I'm not knocking

470
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 4: hospital food, but it's not you know, it's traditionally so

471
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 4: uh so I got this. I think, what is meat loaf?

472
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: So I take a picture of this, and I send

473
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: it to Joey O'Connell from Penn Hills. I go, Joe,

474
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 4: I just ate this, and he looked at me and

475
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 4: he goes, oh my god, that won't stand.

476
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 5: Don't worry.

477
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: I'm sending the Catholics and his family come over me.

478
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 4: So but then then they found out I was going

479
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 4: to get released that day. So I called, We're going

480
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: to go actually visit his mom after we leave here,

481
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 4: and I said, now, Mayor, don't come up, and uh,

482
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 4: I go, We're gonna come out and see you.

483
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 5: I'm coming home and uh.

484
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 4: And then last night I went to Kenesy's house and

485
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 4: Holly made some pasta with boloonnaise and nice. You know, man,

486
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 4: there's something very therapeutic about a Pittsburgh kitchen table and

487
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 4: the pulls that love you. That's medicine you can't buy.

488
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 4: And so and now I'm here with you guys, and

489
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: I get the extra extra special bonus with partner over there.

490
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 4: I ignorantly called, damn, sorry, but do it again. I

491
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 4: don't even know where I'm at.

492
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 5: You know, I'm lucky. I wasn't waking up going do

493

Speaker 5: you serve Marshmallo body for three.

494
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 6: So do the cardiologists recommend bolonaise right after the aphib

495
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 6: is that because is that the first I had?

496
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 4: I just had hospital that way, I highly recommend bolon

497
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: As and Mancini's bread.

498
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 2: That's what I'm a lot that talk.

499
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 4: So I'm just and and then I just you know,

500
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: I realized, you know, look, you know what, what grace

501
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 4: for this weird thing to happen to me and to

502
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 4: be in one of the weeks where I was on

503
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 4: the road with my wife who saved my life again,

504
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 4: and to be in my hometown when this happens. You know,

505
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 4: I'm I'm blessed. I'm just truly blessed. And then you know,

514
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,240

516
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,680

517
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 4: they go, if your heart stops, do you want to

518
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 4: be resuscitated? And I couldn't. You know, we're comics. We

519
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: can't help but take the laugh. Instead of saying something,

520
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: I just looked at Patty like, well, yes, I'm.

521
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 6: Glad you're feeling better, And mostly I'm glad you didn't

522
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 6: check out at my house up in Erie, because that

523
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,359

524
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 6: up there. We didn't need another one. My dad, my

525
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 6: dad in Guardell haunting that place would have been actually

526
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 6: going to charge admission.

527
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: Hilarious. That's the best part is we get to hang

528
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: with we very rarely get to see her.

529
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:18,440

00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 4: Well, it's like Bartnick said to man, you have one

536
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 4: of the great gifts of the comic brain is as

537
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 4: you're going through that one. You can diffuse a little

538
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 4: bit with humor and then you start thinking, you know,

539
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 4: if I get through, this is gonna be a great bit.

540

Speaker 5: Just so grateful.

582
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 4: One of the reasons I came in here with Patty

583
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 4: was for you to talk to her finally, because she's

584
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 4: starting to seem like Norm's wife.

585
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 5: You know, you guys share it morning out there.

586
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 6: Well, every once in a while I'll get Patty in

587
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 6: the car and then she and I start talking right politics,

588
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 6: and you're like, all right, yeah.

589
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 4: You're wrapping up, all right, But if you want to

590
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 4: talk to her, she's here if you want to ask

591
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 4: her any.

592
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 6: Question, Patty, what is the best thing about being married

593
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 6: to a comedian, like of the level that Billy Gardell

594
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 6: has achieved, the best thing, the best thing.

595
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 7: Well, the best thing is how he loves me. But

596
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 7: the greatest, I guess the thing is that you're always

597
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 7: surrounded by people who laugh. And you know, I'm quite

598
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 7: a serious person, and so it's a good balance for

599
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 7: me because I'm the I'm the house vulcan, you know,

600
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 7: and so, you know, surrounded by people who don't take

601
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 7: themselves too seriously is good medicine for me.

602
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: You're from Georgia originally.

603
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 6: How much Pittsburgh appreciation do you have right now, which

604
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 6: is to say, like if you had one foot in Pittsburgh,

605
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 6: How like how assimilated.

606
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 2: To being a Pittsburgh do you feel like you are?

607
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 7: You know, I think a lot. We've been together twenty

608
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 7: six years, almost twenty seven, and you know, I feel

609
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,959
Speaker 7: like a little resident Pittsburgh when I'm here and I

610
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 7: get my Pittsburgh e's done and we go down Tom.

611
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: You know, I was driving, we were driving by.

612
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 7: And there's a store that's called a R H A

613
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 7: U S R. And I was like, I'm like, that

614
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 7: must be the Pittsburgh pronunciation of our house, right like ahra.

615
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 5: And I was like, I didn't make me smile this week.

616
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: So my place has got some ritzy furniture.

617
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 5: You know her favorite comedians Joey O Konn.

618
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: Oh, well, Joeyo konn.

619
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 5: Nobody makes her laugh like Joey O kon Well, there's.

620
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: Nobody as committed to the dead pan quite as much

621
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: as Joey O Kann. Like I always know he's kidding.

622
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,720

Speaker 4: You're coachable, Yeah, I'm coachable.

639
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: Now let me ask you this.

640
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 6: Did you know, like when you found out your heartbeat

641
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 6: was once seventy eight, you still wanted to get on

642
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 6: the plane.

643
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: I did at first, just because I had some stuff

644
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 4: at home and I thought like, well, we can get home,

645
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 4: I'll call the doctor and then I will deal with this.

646
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 4: So that part of me I'm growing like I will

647
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: go deal with this. You know, but apparently it wasn't

648
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 4: time for it.

649
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 5: And how did you guys find out? You put your

650
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 5: watch on him?

651
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I wear an Apple watch for a similar reason.

652
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 7: And you know, I have a heart rhythm issue myself,

653
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 7: and so my doctor had me wear one. And I said,

654
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 7: you know, I don't think this is a cold, you know,

655
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 7: just with the fuzziness in his head, the shaking and things,

656
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 7: and I just said, you know, I don't see cold.

657
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 7: I don't see runny nose. I don't hear a cough.

658
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 7: I said, you know, please let me check your heart.

659
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 7: And so I put my watch on him and checked.

660
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 5: His heart and it said due.

661
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 7: To the hospital now is basically what it said. And

662
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 7: I said, yeah, we're going Joe b.

663
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: You had heart issues, you know what it's like.

664
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I and I had pneumonia and I

665
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 3: did did shows because I had the Russian horse pill

666
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: antibiotics to get me through. Luckily, I actually went to

667
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: go get my weed prescription, you know, a shady Hollywood

668
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: Russian doctor, and she's like, you're coughing blood and you

669
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 3: have pneumonia, and she was, let me get.

670
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: Doctor diagnosed you. They're not, I know. That's how sick.

671
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: I was, but like, I can't turn down work.

672
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 4: That's that's good, that's exactly right, that's exactly And they.

673
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: Knew in Vegas because I always my not my my

674
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: rider was always a bottle of Crown Royal, And when

675
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: I gave it to the stage hand, like you're not

676
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: going to drink that, I'm like, I gotta go back

677
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: and just sleep. Like that's when they knew Bartnik is sick.

678
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

679
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but yeah, I mean I walked off my heart attack.

680
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 3: That's the most Pittsburgh thing you did. Was Yeah, I'm

681
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 3: doing all my shows and I'm going to Steeler game.

682
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm not really that sick. You've always been, mister Pittsburgh.

683
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: But that really is the most Pittsburgh thing you could

684
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 3: have ever done.

685
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: I think it's what we saw our fathers go to

686
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 4: work under any condition, because that's what you do, that's

687
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 4: what you do for your family, it's what you do,

688
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: and it's part of a pro in us that they

689
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 4: can be very dangerous, Like I said, that's that's that's

690
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 4: the downside of it. But then when you see people

691
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: doing doing things the right way, with precision and with

692
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 4: being deliberate, that's the thing that there's a pride in Pittsburgh.

693
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 5: But you can you can you can hit.

694
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 4: The gas on that a little hard, you know, you

695
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 4: can push it a little far.

696
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 9: You got to tell Chuck Laurie about this, because you've

697
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 9: outdone yourself. They had to shut down production.

698
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we shut down Michael Molly one week because

699
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: I did the terrible toal towirl. Somebody said, you know what,

700
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 4: I think it was a Joe that said it to me.

701
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I think because that was, you know,

702
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 4: the offensive line. They ain't got no coachs on. You

703
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 4: should do the toll without your coat back on the

704
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 4: stage Monday anyway, Molly.

705
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,720
Speaker 5: No, what is happening?

706
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 4: He had the greatest line though that week because he

707
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 4: shut production down that way. Chuck, Yeah, and he goes,

708
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 4: he just walked up and he went, no more playoff games, akay.

709
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,719

00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a beautiful day.

738
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 6: You can walk to the bay or you can walk

739
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 6: the beaches. And you're like, guys, I'm under the blankets

740

742
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 6: shows tonight. And then I hear back from you. And

743
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 6: then I texted my brother and told him like, I

744
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 6: don't think Billy's doing that show tonight. Just FYI, if

745
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 6: you got a babysitter, you might not need one or

746
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 6: make other plans because I'm expecting he's not doing it.

747
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 6: And then you texted me later and said you were

748
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 6: doing it. Yeah, I'm like, well, he's doing it, and

749
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 6: then he went to the show instead it was great

750
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,479
Speaker 6: and said you would have never known you were sick.

751
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 6: And so yesterday when I found out what happened to you,

752
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 6: I texted him. Michael was like, yo, I'm like, dude,

753
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 6: Cardell had pneumonia.

754
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 2: When he was doing that show, and.

755
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 11: Then he came down and did the Steelers game after that,

756
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 11: and then like you know, I ended up in the

757
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 11: hospital day fan, I go, you almost saw his second

758
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 11: to last Carbon show, and he texted, still, is he

759
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 11: does another one? It's true as we stand, you might

760
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 11: need to get out to Bartnek show.

761
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, Billy, you would have made that flight.

762
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 3: You would have walked off Alix because there's no way

763
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 3: that Steeler game would have been your last one.

764
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 4: Oh I don't know that one almost put the nail

765
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 4: on my top.

766
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 5: And that was hard to watch. That was really hard.

767
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 9: I'm surprised you didn't hear about it from you know

768
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 9: any of the doctors at.

769
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 5: U p MCNs actually work.

770
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: No, these blockers are actually you're actually gonna help your heart.

771
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 2: False starts.

772
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 6: Do you guys remember when the guy had a heart

773
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 6: attack at Chips When Betts fumbled in the game against

774
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 6: the Colts.

775
00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 14: This in his favorite stool, and this play nearly killed him.

776
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 14: A Jerome Bettis fumble at the goal line. Bettis is

777
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 14: his hero.

778
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,520

779
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 8: and to perhaps and his Pittsburgh career that way, than

Speaker 8: Know I was in here and I regained consciousness and

787
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 8: I asked the doctor did we win? And it was

788
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,719

Speaker 5: Here's tom Oproman.

873
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 13: The task for a struggling Steelers defense will not get

874
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 13: any easier on Sunday when the NFL's number one scoring

875
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 13: offense comes to town in the form of the Indianapolis Colts.

876
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 13: The colts prolific offensive attack let's averages thirty three point

877
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 13: eight points per game and the league best three hundred

878
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 13: and eighty five point three total yards per game, is

879
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 13: no doubt led by their superstar running back Jonathan Taylor.

880
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 13: Taylor leads the NFL and rushing yards of eight hundred

881
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 13: and fifty rushing touchdowns with twelve, and with his two

882
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 13: receiving touchdowns, his fourteen total tds leads the entire NFL.

883
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 13: He's also coming off of what might be his most

884
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 13: dominant performance of the rushing for one hundred and fifty

885
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 13: three yards on just twelve carries and finding the end

886
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 13: zone three total times. That marks the fourth time this

887
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,760
Speaker 13: season Jonathan Taylor has achieved three touchdowns in a single game.

888
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: The rest of the NFL has just eight of those

889
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: performances combined.

890
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 13: Furthermore, Taylor has scored ten touchdowns over his past four games,

891
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 13: the first time that has been accomplished by anyone since

892
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 13: the twenty fifteen season. The Steelers, who have the NFL's

893
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 13: eighteenth ranked run defense allowing one hundred and twelve points

894
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 13: seven yards per game on the ground two opponents, will

895
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 13: have their work cut out for them when it comes

896
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 13: to stopping Taylor in the Colts rushing attack, but doing

897
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 13: so will be a major key in snapping.
