Now this is probably three weeks ago, and 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:57.280 they said there's zero, there is nothing, and so I said, 0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:58.400 I'm cancer free. 0:00:58.560 --> 0:00:59.680 And then they said, well. 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.120 Yeah, we're going to do one more pet scan just 0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.200 because it's kind of like an insurance policy. 0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:07.240 So I'm still going to do that in a few 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:08.000 more weeks. 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.600 But they just said, look, it's it's not going to 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:15.600 show anything because you responded exactly how you're supposed to 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:20.640 respond and there's nothing.

And you know I talked to 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.000 him a month or so ago when he was trying 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.200 to get on the waiting list. Yeah, I don't know 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.639 a big guy, you know, I'm seventy five, and you know, 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.720 they wanted to go to a young person, you know, 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.960 And so I was like whow. And then he texted 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.000 me and he said, I'm on this list now, I'm 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:37.880 just waiting because it's a double lung transplant. 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.160 So it had to be two. Yeah. 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.920 So he's accepting it. His system isn't rejecting anything. But 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.080 I mean, I guess you guys have already explained to 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.600 your audience who Rich Correll is. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.760 I'm sure Rich Carrel is one of. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.480 Our amazing directors, and he was a producer on a 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.520 manner of things that we've all done. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:04.520 So and he was what Richie on child actor Yeah, 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:07.520 and his father was Andy of Amos and Andy. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:08.440 Yeah. 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.200 Like they were the most famous comedy team on radio. 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.000 And it's weird because I guess we can talk about this. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:24.040 This is something that is is very outdated and and 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:29.760 is part of our our weird historical past. But they 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:34.400 were on the radio, but they were an extremely popular show. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.520 They were the biggest stars in the world. And you know, 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.680 and rich hung out with Boris Karloff was like. 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.880 You know, like to make things in the little weird 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:49.640 things in the basement, make stuff pretty incredible. But I 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.760 heard that he had that double lung transplant and I 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.800 was like, oh my god, that's incredible, and that he 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.279 was like up the next day walking around and doing 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.120 It's really interesting now, like the difference between you know, 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.600 thirty years ago, it was like you had something replaced, 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.760 a knee, a hip, along whatever. It was like you 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.159 laid in bed and you didn't do anything and you 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.680 just stayed there. And now they're like, actually, that's the 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.960 worst thing you can do. Your body needs to sort 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:19.240 of keep going in order to you know, acclimate itself. 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:20.800 So it's crazy. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.560 Yeah. Wow, Yeah, So I was really happy that, you know. 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.920 She texted me that good, Yeah, because I always used 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.800 to do that, Hey you Ricky, what's your name? And 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:37.360 I'm like, uh, Gilbert, and so I texted. 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.479 I texted Beth back and I said, tell Ricky that 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:41.440 Gilbert says hello. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:44.960 Yeah. 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.440 Rich could never remember a lot of people's names. Like 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.960 he still calls me Andrea, like he's never gotten my name. 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.680 Right, years there was an ex or something of his 0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:55.400 that was Andrea, and so he's like it just comes. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.719 Out, and I mean Andrea, Andrea Andria. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.440 Right, He'll just say, like, hey, big guy. He just 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.520 calls everybody these little nicknames instead. 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.280 Look as you get older, just call people random nicknames 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.279 and then you never have to remember their names. It 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.560 makes it much easier. That's a good strategy, buddy, Buddy, I. 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.839 Had a friend who was a really bad alcoholic, and 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:21.040 he just just called everybody Jimmy, Hey, Jimmy. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.520 It looks like simplifies things, right, Yeah. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.200 Yeah. He called Stamos. John knew him. 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:30.960 My buddy's name was Digger was his nickname, and he 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:32.960 called Stamos Jimmy. 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:38.400 Stamos, oh man, Jimmy. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.760 Yeah. I couldn't remember anybody's name. So everybody was Jimmy, 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.000 I was like, that's yeah. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.520 It's so hard to believe that we're in this stage 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:54.800 of life where this is like people are having lung 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.520 transplants or cancer or we're losing. 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.479 People, Like what do we were doing?
