And we've already got 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.440 somebody in the queue and lined up to talk. Yes 0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:33.279 it with a mask on why make sure it has 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:36.519 spread the COVID I guess it can Spratty rise now 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.920 in his car by himself. Yea, all the white around. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.440 It's a beautiful day here in the burg. Oh my gosh, 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:50.800 he is there. Yeah. Well, it's not snowing hard yet, 0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.880 but it's uh, it's getting we had we've had the 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.960 ice storms and you know, all that good stuff. So 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:00.920 it's been wonderful. It's snowing here like the third time. 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.480 Uh yeah, we've got I think we have three inches 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:12.039 so far just today, just today. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. We 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.760 woke up today about two inches. And they're saying that 0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:17.280 our couple overdo. But you know, the roads and stuff 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.880 were fairly clear. The other idiots knew how to drive 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:23.600 in it, Jared, he's out there doing his thing. I'm 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.399 guessing for Pittsburgh that's pretty easy. Though. Two inches is 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:29.160 like nothing for you guys. Yeah, we don't start getting 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.360 alarmed till sixth eight. I was in a business the 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.440 other day of a friend of mine and the guy 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.360 walked in and said, man, they just changed the weather 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.800 because they were calling for six to eight. And he 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.640 said they just changed the weather to twelve to eights. 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.600 And I'm like what, and he goes, I'm just kidding. 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.800 You got me, because in Pittsburgh could happen, right, So 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.240 he ran out and got all the milk and bread 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.560 and all the twilet paper. Been through it, been through it. 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.000 Some of the people I look out for, uh, sent 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.920 me on what they didn't do it? But the goose chase. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.360 If I go looking like, what's what's something that every 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.720 store has? Right? Bottled water? Right, every store has bottled water. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.800 If you if I go looking for bottled water today, 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.440 I guarantee you every store will be sold out of 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.240 bottled water. Now. Tomorrow when I don't need it, every 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.000 store will have it. It's so this is the story 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:17.400 in my life. I spent the other day, like on 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:25.600 the scavenger hunt around Beaver County to find coffee, Italian bread, uh, detergent, 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:29.440 and a few things like that. Every store was out 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:32.080 of the side to keep hit hopsquatching. Then it became 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:37.880 like the challenge, right, can you find it? So wow? Yeah, 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:42.520 the Travails are being a franchise, but the coff looking 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.919 very good on a on a beautiful Thursday morning. I 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.160 think I'm gonna glue down right this time? Right? Wait, 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.880 we have I have a question. I have a question 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:55.280 for you. Don't go there, you'll get You'll get canceled. 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.080 This whole show will get canceled if you go there. 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.000 That's true. Hey, we got it. Before we go, we continue. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.760 Just a question for you. Who's got the better quaffs? 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:06.880 You are nineteen eighty five, Paul. Uncle Paul's got a 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:12.240 pretty handsome, pretty damn good Sarah Faucet. It's the male 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:16.760 version of the Parah Fawcett haircut. Yes, we need we 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.720 need a satin pillow with a franchise on it. Could 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.920 you imagine like walking into your room closing the dark. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.440 That'd be great. Well, we we recently had a sleepover. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:38.120 You and I do some explain, and I will, I'll 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.520 keep talking, thank you. We had an appearance together a 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:46.360 couple of weeks ago and we did a virtual signing. 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.600 I can't remember Billy Barf was the man's name, but 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.000 I don't know what the company was. I don't remember 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:59.280 sports fans promotions, thank you. Shane didn't know either, But 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:05.800 poor poor Shane. It took him about twelve hours to 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:10.040 get to me. And then when he finally did come, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.440 we did the Early Bird Special eight dinner, very early 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.320 and quickly, and we had to get on the road. 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.640 And so the funny part is we're I think it 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.720 was on the way there. We're driving and I don't 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.760 know where we're going. I'm just following GPS because I've 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.400 never been to this location before, and Shane's not familiar 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.159 with the area either. But I see headlights in the 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.200 back of me, the like policeman lights, and I go, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.440 oh my god, now I'm being pulled over. Shane goes, 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.440 I think you are, and I go, oh my god. 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.120 What do I do? What do I do? He goes, well, 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.640 let's pull over and see what happened. So I pull 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.200 over and the cop pulls over, but he pulls over 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:56.239 like a mile behind us, and for ten minutes, Shane 0:04:56.279 --> 0:05:00.280 and my sight and it's dark, it's super dark, and 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.360 we're just sitting there and I go, what's happening. It's good. 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.880 I'm thinking, like we're either like on the fugitive hunt 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.039 or something rather gonna come with guns blazing or or 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.880 something else. I think they pulled another car over. We 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.200 don't We still don't know, but he was so far 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.599 behind and after ten minutes, I was like, I'm just 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.680 gonna leave, Like, don't you think he would have walked 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.640 up to the car or pulled up behind. I don't know, 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.400 but it like the car was directly behind us but 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.920 far back. So I don't know who we pulled there, 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.480 but I almost cracked my pants because I thought it 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.200 was me and and you know, it was it. So 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.440 that was a close call, but we did. We had 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.280 a great time at the signing. Thank god no one 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:44.000 had corona because there was like twelve people in the 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:46.400 room with no mask on. When we walked in, I 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:50.720 was like, ugh, do we dare? But then every you know, 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.120 we took pictures after with them and everybody was healthy, 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.920 so that was good. But it was it was very 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.000 enjoyable to have you in my home with my family 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:02.080 and good. First of all, the meal was was incredible. 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.839 I love good sauce, not gravy. Gravy's and the stuff 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:09.799 you put on turkey gravy is when you add meat 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.360 to it. I can't emphasize this enough. There were meatballs 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.240 in the gravy, in the sauces. Gravy. Yeah, but it's 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.800 not really meat in the sauce. Meatball sitting in the sauce. 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.560 But that's meat. But it's not disseminated throughout the sauce. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:29.080 But it's still meat in my gravy. It's gravy. So 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:31.359 what do you any continue to put me over? Go ahead? 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.000 So what do you put on turkey on Thanksgiving? Brown gravy? 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.960 Brown gravy. It's you people over there on the other 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.680 side of the state. It's crazy. Let me ask you. 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:47.000 Do you drink pop or do you drink soda? Soda? Oh, 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.159 come on, it's pop. Never called it pop in my life. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.080 It's not hot. And do you say water or do 0:06:54.120 --> 0:07:04.679 you say water? Water? We pronounced it with a D. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:09.359 I'm sure water, yes, water. If I think about it, 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.160 I'll say it correctly. If I don't, it's water. Ireen, 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.880 and I picked all those up long before each e 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:16.800 w One of my I was an r A in 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:19.640 college and one of my students was from right outside 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:25.080 of Philadelphia something park, right out by the airport, Ridley Park. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.760 There you go, and uh. He used to come and 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.840 he say, where's the water And I said, O, d 0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:37.200 E R Yes. I try to correct myself, you know, 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.160 educate my children on how to talk correctly. But I 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.600 used to have a bad Pittsburgh Geese habit. Everybody around 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.640 her in the ground we all say Yin's right, where 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.040 Yen's going, like y'all or U all or you know. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.520 And and when I went to college, I didn't never 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.960 thought about it because everybody said it. And I went 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.280 to college and everybody kept saying Willans is going to 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.000 the bar, and I started thinking, like, Yin's that does 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.320 sound pretty bad. So I've broken myself with the Yen's 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:08.760 habit long ago. But I still say, Washington, Washington, That's 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:14.600 what I said. No, everybody's got something, every every state 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.400 has something. Jersey, it was draw versus drawer. I can't 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.920 say drawer. Opened the drawer next to me, it's draw 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:28.520 You opened the draw drawer, it's true. Yeah, the draw 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:35.960 I can't speak Pennsylvanians. Can I don't know, But anyway, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.680 it was it was nice to have you here. We 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:41.120 had a really good time, got to reminisce. I was 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:45.400 up away past my bedtime. Yeah, might I add, but 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.079 it was it was, Uh, it was nice, and I 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.200 just wish that we could do more of those, because 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:54.840 I think the fans have haven't seen us together in 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:57.720 a while, and I think they really appreciate it, both 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.920 of us being there at the same time because it's 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.079 usually just me or you're doing your thing, because I'm 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.079 scared to do live shows with you, so I won't 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.640 go out. But it was very enjoyable. So I also had, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.000 aside from the pleasure of meeting your immediate family, I 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.240 had the pleasure of meeting your mother after all these years, right, 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:20.160 I mean, like thirty years later, I meet missus Fournier 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.439 and really nice lady. It was only what ten to 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.640 fifteen minutes so before she went to bed. But I'd 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:32.280 met your father several times and not several handful of 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.880 times when i'd come pick you up or whatever, But 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.679 that was the first that I can recall meeting your 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.679 mother and really, really nice later the pleasure to thought, 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.079 and like, I'm sort of amazed because I keep seeing 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:47.640 like these occagenarians, you know, like Dominic and my neighbor 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.800 and my stepmother and your mother, and it seems to 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:52.720 me when I was a kid, eighty year old, people 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.040 looked a lot older and acted a lot older than 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:58.640 these people do. I mean, they're amazing. Yeah, well, she 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.360 was impressed with you. She was like, he's such a 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.920 nice It was the quaff, Yes, it was. Well. She 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.560 couldn't wait till you got to the house because I mean, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.000 you know, for years, of course your name would come 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.120 up because you know, you and I were inseparable at 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.680 one point. And she's like, it's so weird. I've never 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.400 met him before. I'm looking forward to meeting him. And 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.760 then I had to put I think my daughter waited up, 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.080 so I put her to bed first, and I said 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.320 to sheen entertained mom while I'm going upstairs. But I 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:31.120 was putting her to bed, and my mom was so 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:36.160 impressed because you were talking about Hazel and Grit and 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.400 all the old shows. And she's like, he's such a 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.240 nice guy. And I was like, he watches my shows. 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.679 I was like, oh, you would love them. Yeah, she's 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:51.840 impressed with that. I'm an oldie. It's yeah, there you go. 0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:53.280 But it was fun. It was a lot of fun. 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.319 I just wish we could do more of those things. 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.679 It was not only was it fun, but it's super easy. Hey, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:04.960 can I something off about you? It depends what it is. Well, 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:09.240 I'm saying this is as careful as I can. I 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.600 was shocked that the Queen of Extreme didn't walk around 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:17.240 the house dressed like she does in the ring. I 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:22.160 expected the gowns and the flowing articles, and instead you 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.360 were taking care of your kids and making dinner and 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.680 washing dishes. And I was like, wait a second, this 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:30.760 is It's like whenever I met Randy Savage the first 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.360 time working that night, right you know, on TV's ordering 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.040 Liz around and all that. And right after he talked 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:37.559 to me and gave me some advice, he walked on 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.640 and real sheepishly knocked on the door. He said, Liz, 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:42.959 it's me, honey, can I come in? I went, oh, 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:50.000 come on, man, the illusion is gone. I know, I uh, 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.240 you know, it's real life here and that's it. I mean, 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:57.000 I was dressed when you walked in the well, I 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.640 was impressed. Yeah, well for the signing. But your kids 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.199 were cool too, you know, like like my boys may 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.000 walk past and I was giving a high five, right, 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.800 and when when your color walked by, did the same thing. 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.040 And then your daughter's showing me her art work on 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.560 the computer. Again, I'm an old guy, right, So computers, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.520 I'm still in the process of learning them. And to 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.040 see a kid that age to be able to do 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.960 that on a computer, like to me blows my mind. 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:25.640 Like if you paid me ten gazillion dollars, I couldn't 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.120 do that on a computer, even showing me how, you know, 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.599 it's it's impressives great to see young kids like that 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.320 doing stuff and and finding their way and learning their interests. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.679 You know. I always get a kick out of that. Yeah. 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:39.640 And when you left, they were like, oh, mom, we 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.000 like Shane, is he going to come back? I said, 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.480 if we get more work. Yes, we got to get work. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.880 Moving into the basement. He's moving into the basement. We 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:55.080 have room for you, Shane. It's fine, great time, No, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.839 it was. It was a good time. It was nice. 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.680 It was like I said, it was nice. It was 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:05.839 easy and it was fun. It was it was and 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.400 a break from all this insanity, right, I mean, just 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.199 to see some semblance of normalcy. I suspect and I 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.720 hope I'm right on this, that people are ready to 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:19.160 get back to some semblance of normalcy. Uh. You know 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.640 it's I couldn't take a stab in the dark. He 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.800 saw the shooting in Philadelphia yesterday right North Philadelphia. Seven 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:31.400 people shot. Without question, this this whole thing has something 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.000 to do with it, right. I mean, you put people 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.640 under pressure, and the pressure builds, sooner later some people 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.920 are going to release that pressure in whatever way they 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.319 can figure out to do it. You know, I don't 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:43.160 want to get on my political soap box, but you 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.400 know I think it's this pandemic has run its course 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:49.439 and had more than another. I was just going to 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:52.800 ask you. I saw in an article recently, I think 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.280 it was yesterday or something. Now they're saying the vaccine 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.960 needs a third dose. Got that? And what do you 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.520 know haven't seen it? Well, I'll give I'll give my 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.599 three to somebody else because I sat next to you. 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:11.160 I'll tell them I won't use names because this would 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.040 be you know, exposing somebody one of the ninety year 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:19.320 olds that I hang around with. I'll say for this man. 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:24.480 You're not Dominic, Okay, but uh, one of the eighty 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:28.800 nine year olds that I hang around with. I mean 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.800 I hang up with a a bunch of near ninety year 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.400 old people. Makes me feel young, right, that's because you 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:38.480 want to feel young. Yeah. Amen. But she and this 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.400 woman is is what more I would consider like an 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.920 average eighty nine year old person. I'm like your mother, 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.560 Dominic or my step mother. Uh. I get a text 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.480 one morning from her daughter that mum was diagnosed with COVID. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.440 Now she's been a lifelong smoker, and my heart sunk. 0:14:57.240 --> 0:14:58.880 You know, this is my buddy, you know, I don't 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.600 you know some she ain't coming home right The next morning, 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.600 I see him walking into the house and my first 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.600 thought was that they send her home to die. I mean, 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.720 she's old, right, old old. And she did tell me 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.480 later she was over. Her daughter told me they had 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.600 her on two middile leaders of oxygen, which is the 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.480 lowest level they can give you, for four hours, and 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.280 they took her off of it because her oxygen SATs 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.520 were too high. She came home and she said that 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.680 she was really sick. She said it wasn't fun, but 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.880 she said she never felt like she was dying. She 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.080 never had a fever, she never lost her sense of 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:34.520 taste or smell, and she said it was like the 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.520 worst cold she ever had. Is the way she put it. Now, 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.440 based on everything we've been told with this thing, right, 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.480 that should have been the poster child, and which is 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.360 why my heart sunk. Yet she came home, took no 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:55.240 medicine for it, just sort of toughed it out. Now 0:15:55.280 --> 0:16:00.880 I look at my kids, your kids. I know again, 0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:03.200 if the data we're being given as accurate, ninety nine 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.640 point ninety seven percent of the kids recover, if they're 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:10.120 even symptomatic, and the point zero three or point zero 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.600 zero three that get deathly ill or die from it 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:19.080 have asthma or other additional problems. So why are we 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:22.320 shutting these schools down? You know, I'm certainly not gonna. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.720 I don't feel comfortable. And this is not the wrestler speaking. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.440 This is the guy that was accepted a medical school. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:32.720 And remember my virology classes. Why are we shutting everything down? 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.520 Shooting me? Called me? I read a headline yesterday. Millions 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:38.400 of businesses have been shuttered during the pandemic and probably 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.200 won't come back. How many people have been put out 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:45.479 of work. I mean, just the devastation is the suicide 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:49.200 rate among teenagers, which just breaks my heart to hear 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:55.200 through the roof. Are we clearly we're doing more damage 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.560 with all of this stuff. Like my son Kayden is 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.200 in virtual he goes back two days a week next week, 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:05.240 thank god. Knock on wood, right, But why are they 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:07.400 not in class now? You know? I don't know if 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:10.159 you guys remember I remember high school pretty well, and 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:12.480 it was the social side of it was was the 0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:15.040 big thing to it, right, hanging with her buddies and 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.000 you know, pulling pranks and doing all that right, because 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:21.280 my friends used to do that all the time. But yeah, 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:23.679 I just think it's unforgivable. And the people that are 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.000 behind us and pushing this and and mostly scaring old 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:30.200 people right, Like to me, that scary anybody, but especially 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:33.359 old people, you know, like my stepmother. She she is 0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.720 being wise about it, but she is scared to death 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.240 to leave the house, you know, And I go out. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:44.520 I'm in thirty forty places a day and sat three 0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:49.400 feet from this person who had COVID for three five 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:59.840 nights a week and never got anything. So never know, Stepmom, no, no, 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:02.600 she told me to day. Well she's not saying no, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.040 but you know she's researching, and so far what she's 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:10.480 research she doesn't feel comfortable with. So you know, it's 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.439 just in that place right now. But you know, my 0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:16.879 oldest son is of age, it's nineteen now, so uh, 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:18.840 like I told him, if you you know, if you 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:23.679 want to get it, that's your decision, but do your research. Cayden, 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.880 however's a different story. You know, he's fifteen years old. 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:31.479 So he's my in my ex wife's responsibility, and I 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.800 can't with good conscience stick a needle in him and 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.600 put something in that I know I can't take out 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.800 if And the worst part to this is should Cayden 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.920 be one of the kids that has a bad reaction 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:47.920 and God forbid die from it. I can't even sue 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:51.119 the company. You know this, This is the craziness of it. 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.720 And so like, well, I'm with all the ancillary stuff 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.320 and when you add in the politics to it, to me, 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.520 it just you know, tells me, you know, my Brandon 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.560 tells me, ain't no chance of my kid getting that nick. Now, 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.560 maybe it's a year from now, if we haven't seen 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.280 a lot of fall out from it. You know might 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.960 contemplate it, but as of right now, and he doesn't 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:18.480 want to get it, so yeah, we're not. No one 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:23.880 here is getting it, so we're that's where we're at. 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.000 But well, you know, I told my stepmother that they 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.439 were in good company. I saw a report out of 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:32.520 Ohio that the governor there said that sixty percent of 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.720 healthcare workers there have refused to get the shot. The 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:39.840 same numbers in California and some maybe Texas. There was another. 0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:43.359 There were two other states listed, so you know, they're 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.199 they're doing their damn distarring. They to tell us they 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:50.639 it's safe. Look, I'll take it. Well, that's your decision. Yeah, 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.520 this is my decision exactly. I just feel like it's 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:57.439 too soon. It was made too quickly. We don't know 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.760 enough about it, like you said, and I'm waiting it out. 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:05.000 We're super careful. My mom doesn't go anywhere. Yeah, and 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.840 we talked about this, like most of her health appointments 0:20:07.880 --> 0:20:12.280 have been virtual online and she only goes to cardiology 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.639 where I know they're all tested and it's safe to 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:18.200 take her. She'll wear her mask and that's it, and 0:20:18.880 --> 0:20:21.280 she doesn't she doesn't go out, so she I don't 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:23.280 feel like she needs to put that in her body. 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.280 She's got three health risks going against her. What if 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.639 something counters. I'm just I'm scared. I'm just scared to 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.920 give it to her. Well, okay, and I think that 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.040 you know, fear it can be a good thing if 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:37.960 it's the right reason, right. I mean, you don't just 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.160 go jump in you know, a pool of water at 0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:44.640 the local fish farm, right, it could be sharks in there, 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.399 you know. So with this thing again, like you putting 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:52.880 all my medical school hat. Uh. This is the first 0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:54.720 vaccine in history. It has been made for the messenger 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:57.399 O a messenger and as it was suggested, is some 0:20:57.440 --> 0:20:59.879 of to transmit signals into your in your body, so 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:02.080 when you come in contact with the cold, it sends 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.080 the message to the immune system. Hey, we've got to 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.480 kick up here. Uh. There's never been one made from 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.639 this before, so we don't really know. They can take 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.080 a pretty good guess that they think it's safe. That 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:14.560 ain't good enough for me to stick a needle in 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.320 my kid. You think it's safe, I need to know 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:20.399 it's safe. I agree, But I'm gonna switch topics because 0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:24.840 you just jarred my memory jumping into a pool and 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:28.000 the scene sharks. Shane and I had to do promos 0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:31.440 at the y MCA and we jumped into the pool 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:35.600 with all old people and they all ran like no tomorrow. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:41.800 Yes that was There were so many bathing caps, old 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:46.760 bittings in the water and all It's like, okay, we 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.399 have to we need this side clear and what are 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:52.359 we gonna tell these people get out of the pool, 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:56.879 Like do you remember the epithets that we were filming 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.679 a scene right with me swimming laps and you coaching 0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:14.640 me a Yeah, water therapeutic. Water is very therape Damien's 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:16.879 our buddy that passed away a few years ago. He 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:23.000 was the head of merchandising sales for ac W. Yeah. Oh, 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.520 he was one of those guys that he would crack 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:27.440 He would and he was in no way trying to 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:30.400 be funny, but he would crack you up all day 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:34.280 long because he was so serious about everything. There's there's 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:37.800 another story if we have time for it. Uh and reading. 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.440 Remember when Sabu and rub Dan Damn busted me open 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:43.199 front and back. So I was busted open in the back, 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.560 busted open in the front. So we had to go 0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:48.119 to the Redding hospital to get staple and stitched up right. 0:22:48.240 --> 0:22:51.399 So he's in the room of the ladies. The doctor 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:53.720 has sewing up my front. Now I got to turn 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.280 over so she can staple the back right. So I'm 0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.480 talking to Damien and she goes, who are you talking to? 0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:00.720 I said, my buddy. She goes, he left. She goes, 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:05.879
