00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: the kids are home for Christmas like that, sitting around

4
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: the penis table is a Gandhi and Brody and Garrett

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm so glad, And I said, I was like, what

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: are we gonna talk about on our fifteen minute morning

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: show podcast? And then Nate says, do you want me

10
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: to talk about my lowest moment in the hospital. I'm like, oh,

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: how fun? It involve a bedpan? Don't take away people, punchline.

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: He's been through so much. Give him this. He doesn't

13
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: have much left the last time, I barely has life left.

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Take that away from him. All right, So the floor

15
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: recognizes Nate, Well, thank you all. I just want to

16
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: get to anybody that wasn't listening to the Big Show,

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: which you can listen to the on demand podcast. But

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: I love all of you guys, and I'm so glad

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: to be back here. I think once you go through

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: something like that, you really kind of figure out what's

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 1: important to you. And you guys are a huge part

22
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: of my life. And I just don't realize or didn't

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: realize how lucky I was to have all of you

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: in my life. Um, and I realized that as I

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: was reaching my lowest point, I think in my entire life. Okay, well,

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: before you give us the lowest point, what's like another

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: low point to like get us ready for the lowest

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: probably breaking my fifteen years streak of not vomiting that proud,

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I beg your pardon. I mean, so you totally forgot

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: what it felt like, and so and then you experience

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: vomiting again for the first I hate it? Who loves it?

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's like it's awful and and I can't eat.

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: So when you're sick, and you don't get sick very often,

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: you're probably thinking about that thing that you threw up

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and you never want to eat that again. You can't

36
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: touch a yogurt bowl for the next twenty years. Okay, good,

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: So I love all right? Well that was a low,

38
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: a low fifteen year streak of throwing up, all right,

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: So you can take us lower than that. Yeah, So

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: it was when you have a subarac annoid hemorrhage, all

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: of the blood that's surrounding your brain has to get

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: reabsorbed back into your your system somehow, right, So it goes,

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: as was explained to me, because I'm not a doctor,

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: down your spinal column and it gets absorbed into your

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: spinal fluid and distributed throughout your body. So they say

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: it takes about ten days for that blood to get

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 1: to the back of your brain. And that's when the

48
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: pain really comes back, because there's the initial pain and

49
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: then you kind of subside, and then it ramps back

50
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: up like a roller coaster, and then it comes back down.

51
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: And they told you to expect more pain. To expect

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: more pain go right around thanks Giving. It started on Thanksgiving,

53
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, and it was just it started

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: like on a tense scale of pain. It was like

55
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: a five headache, then a six, then a seven, and

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: then it got to like an eight, almost to nine.

57
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: And that was in the early morning hours of Saturday

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: of Thanksgiving weekend, and it was excruciating. It was I

59
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: was grabbing my head and just holding it and just

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: crying in the dark because I couldn't have any sort

61
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: of light source. Um, the nurses would come in and

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: they'd give me a hot pack or cold pack because

63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: I thought one of them would give me some relief.

64
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: They were trying to give me some drugs that wasn't working.

65
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: So when you're in the hospital like that, you uh

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: can't really get up to go to the bathroom. So

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: at night you have a p jug, which is just

68
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: a little jug urinate in and they also have to

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: measure your fluid output versus your fluid input. And I

70
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: was at a um, this is more more of a

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: problem I was getting. I was putting out too much fluid,

72
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: so they were giving me medication to stop stop doing that.

73
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: So at some point throughout the night, I used the

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: p jug and I didn't tell the nurse to empty it,

75
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: uh and then I will go up where I was

76
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: up the whole night. And then a few hours later

77
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: I just realized I had to go again because they

78
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: were giving me v fluid but they hadn't emptied it,

79
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: so I couldn't wait, and so I hit the call button,

80
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: but the nurse was busy doing something else. They said, oh,

81
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: she'll be in in a second, but I couldn't wait.

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: I couldn't hold it. So it was this balancing act

83
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: of pain in my head and trying to maneuver my

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: body to pee into this p jug which I successfully

85
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: managed to do, leaving about a quarter of an inch

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: from the top. However, there's a handle on the p

87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: jugged and I don't know if you use this froggy,

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: so putting it on the bed on the side of

89
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: the bed as I'm about to get it on their

90
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: successfully without spilling a drop, it locks on the railing

91
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: and p just goes everywhere. And so the nurse at

92
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: that point walks in and I just I just turned

93
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: into a sniveling, bawling mass because of the pain, and

94
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm just covered in pe and she goes, what happened?

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: I go to and so yourself exactly. I was expecting that.

96
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: I was expecting pooh, no, no. Well that's the other problem.

97
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: So when they give you these heavy we're moving on

98
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: to opioids, you can't go to the bathroom. So they

99
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: give you they'll give you I know, if you've probably

100
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: had this froggy, they'll give you a stool softener, which

101
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: every time I took pills, I took one of those,

102
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: and then they give you mirror lax and if that

103
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: doesn't work, they give you this thing called lactulose, which

104
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: I nicknamed lact You lose because you lose every time

105
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: you give that, so you do this little shot and

106
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: pills are terrible for blocking you. Oh my god. But

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: when that volcano finally erupted, you got lift off. It

108
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: was seriously left off. And you know, you go in

109
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: the room of which they need to keep the door

110
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: open in case something happens. So it was I just

111
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: I feel so bad for that. And those nurses at

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Westchester Medical Center are the best nurses I've ever had,

113
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: and they've seen everything. They've seen everything, and they remind

114
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: you of that. Oh yeah, they and I would I

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: would profusely apologize whoever was helping. I'm like, I'm so sorry.

116
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: They're like, this is nothing, this is our job, and

117
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: this is nothing compared to what we've had to do

118
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: with in the past. I remember I had to go

119
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: after one of my surgeries. They said, before you can

120
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: go home, you have to go Pete to make sure

121
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: everything's working okay. And she said, I'm gonna have to

122
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: stand in the bathroom with you. And I told her,

123
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: I said, listen, if I hadn't paid in a week,

124
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: and you stand in here with me, I'm never gonna go.

125
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to leave the room for me to go.

126
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't go. So even when she left the room,

127
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: I still could not go. And I wanted to go

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: home so bad. So I ran water in my hands

129
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: in the sink really quietly, and I dribbled it in

130
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: the toilet so she could hear it through the door.

131
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm going, I'm going. She heard it. I

132
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: got to go home. Second got home. Guess what problems? Still,

133
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: that's not good. There. Your wife Lisa just walked in,

134
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: so I have a question. She wants to come to say,

135
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: how Tony, what's your question? Scary? The nurses in the hospital,

136
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: they are they fans of the Elvis Fanning. He's hugging Lisa.

137
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: How about the one that had to deal with the

138
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: p jug They became fans so and actually Mike, one

139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: of the nurses, had called in on our show. He

140
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: came over. He wasn't my nurse, but he was working

141
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: on the other side of the I c U. And

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: he came over one morning when he was done, he goes, hey,

143
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: I just want to say hi, I'm a big fan.

144
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: I called in when you guys were talking about long

145
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,119
Speaker 1: distance or no shift. You know, we were talking about

146
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: working at different schedule as your significant other, and I said,

147
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: tell elvis it didn't work out. Yeah, so that's a

148
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: sad story from the hospital. But yeah, there's a lot

149
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: of fans and they all, you know, they just took

150
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: such good care. When when my dad was there, I

151
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: had announced it on the air that he was there,

152
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: and I didn't think about it. I just wanted to

153
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: say thank you to those great people. The next morning,

154
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: they go, we'd just like to thank you for us

155
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: having to add extra security to the hospital. I go, why, well,

156
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: now that everyone knows you're here, I don't believe me

157
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: we're extra security. Nobody's but the listeners started sending cards.

158
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: Apparently you could call downstairs and they have like a

159
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: card that they could generic card and they would send

160
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: them up to the room and stuff, and it was

161
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: very sweet. But I really wasn't worried about someone coming

162
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: and like lifting my dad and taking them out. Did

163
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: you catch up on any You didn't watch a lot

164
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: of TV to watch to watch, so how did you

165
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: spend the day of the hours? I guess when you're

166
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: kind of left up on pills, you don't really. It's

167
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of the calendar goes fast, right, really, and it

168
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: goes it goes fast. It's funny you don't know where

169
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: the days go. Because even coming back here, I couldn't

170
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: even believe it was it's been a month since I've

171
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: been here. I can't believe it. Completely out of your life.

172
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: But at times when you're in that pain, seconds or

173
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: like minutes, and minutes are like hours, and hours are

174
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: like days. When I was in that really bad had

175
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: pain on that Friday and Saturday, I would open my

176
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: eyes just briefly and there's this clock on the wall,

177
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: and it would say like two fourteen, and I would

178
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: close my eyes and just pray that the pain got

179
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: better and hope the time passed and I would get

180
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: out of this pain. And then I would open my

181
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: eyes from what seemed like five hours and it would

182
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: say to sixteen minutes had gone by, and I felt

183
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: like it was hours. Maybe it was twelve hours, so

184
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: maybe it could have been, but I I just I

185
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: never want to go through that again. How about some

186
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: deeply rooted philosophical or life changing thoughts or I promise

187
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: as you made to yourself, or possibilities I there's there's

188
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: things like buying a house, for instance. I've always wanted

189
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: to have a house, a place to call my own

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: at home. I want to do that. Um, I want

191
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: to do things in my relationship. I want to go

192
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: to places that I haven't been before. But as far

193
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: as like massive revelations, like I was saying on The

194
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: Big Show, I kind of figured out life one morning.

195
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: And I know they had given me some drugs, but

196
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: that aside, and think it takes something to put you

197
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: in that position to realize things. And I'm I'm just

198
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm meant to do something greater. I I don't know.

199
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: This is so stupid to tell you guys this, But

200
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: counting the heart surgery I had when I was five

201
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: months old, which I probably shouldn't have survived because that

202
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: was the infancy of open heart surgery, the stroke I

203
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: had last year, the heart surgery I went through this year,

204
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: and then this stroke I'm just four, and oh, like

205
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: why am I still alive? So you feel like there

206
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: there is a message coming to you from a higher

207
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: source by being God, the universe, whatever, something is telling you.

208
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: You need to pay attention to something. But are you

209
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: quite I'm not just what it is, Yet I what

210
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 1: I want to do. I want to find ways to

211
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: help people that have gone through what I've gone through.

212
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what Froggy wanted to do when the

213
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: sting you. I just feel like everything happens for a reason,

214
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: and so like, for example, my disease is on one

215
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: in a million disease, Well, there's a reason I got it.

216
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: So then I wanted to help people. And that's why

217
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about it and do whatever I

218
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: could to raise awareness and and and people have now

219
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: that listened to the show have realized, wait a second,

220
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm going through the same things. They've realized they had

221
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: it because it's not easy to get diagnosed. So absolutely,

222
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: there's a reason that you have come through this four times.

223
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: And helping other people is what you're here for. That's

224
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. If you can help

225
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: somebody else go through less than what you've been through,

226
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: and then you're succeeding. Yeah, and even people that haven't

227
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: had my exact situation with suboracnoid hemorrhage or heart surgery.

228
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you beat cancer, maybe you you you you know

229
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: you had a diabetes or whatever in a life threatening situation.

230
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: You're you're one and oh you know you you beat it.

231
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: You only have to lose once. You can win a

232
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: thousand times. But you just have to keep focus on

233
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: the fact that you haven't lost yet. You're very motivating.

234
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: You go on tour with my mom, I swear because

235
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: I want my mom to go and like talk about amyoidosis,

236
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: which is what got my dad, which nobody really knows about.

237
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: It's something something that they're just starting to learn about.

238
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: And I said, you should become an advocate for something

239
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: like that. So I feel like you guys can team up.

240
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: I tell you listening, you have on board something that

241
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: got you through it, so it's sharing that with you. Know,

242
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: I had a facelift. I'm gonna help others. I'm gonna

243
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: help others who have had to like watch their face

244
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: get tied and more pretty. I was with Lisa when

245
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: she got breast implants. I could go around and talk

246
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: to and help people with that. Oh my god, Lisa,

247
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: you know what exactly? You know what, Daniel, when we

248
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: first learned what your father was going through with this part,

249
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: we I had never heard of that either, And so

250
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: there are other people that they're going through that yeah, people,

251
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 1: and and there's no cure for it, there's no you know,

252
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: the life. Can you describe to people what that was.

253
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: It's the thing that it's something that hardens your heart

254
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: and makes it um just a tough and the blood

255
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: flow doesn't get to it enough, and it will attack

256
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: other parts of your body. It's like a protein and

257
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: it attacks on the part of your body, so your

258
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: kidneys start to fail in different things, and you don't

259
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: have the life expectancy is not very long. If they

260
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: catch it in the beginning, there's things they can do

261
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: to prolong your life, but you're still only going to

262
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: have a couple of years to live. And for him,

263
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: they found it too late, and you know, we know

264
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: the end result unfortunately. So but it's something. I mean,

265
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: when they said what it was, I'm like, what what

266
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: the hell is that? Right? You could have chosen not

267
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: to come back here. I know you could have chosen

268
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: to go ahead, and I'm going to go out there

269
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: and take a chance and just live my life in

270
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: a whole different way with less strong about that. It's

271
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: stressful to work here. I thought about that. I thought

272
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 1: about you still can't you you can walk out anything,

273
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: No I'm not going to because You're in my life

274
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: for a reason. Elvis, Danielle in my life for a reason.

275
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 1: Gandhi's in my life for reason. I love all of

276
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: you guys, and I'm not going to give that up.

277
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: I love you guys, and it just really makes you

278
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: feel that all of the good in your life is

279
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: there for a reason and you need to appreciate it more.

280
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: And you guys are the good in my life. And um,

281
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to waste the time that I have

282
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: left because like you said, I do have that feeling

283
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: and whether or not it's true or not, it's you

284
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: got that ticking time bomb feeling, and uh, we should

285
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: all be living, yes, knowing that we all have a

286
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: ticking time I hope nobody ever has to go through this,

287
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: but it's sad that it takes something like this a

288
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: lot of times for to kick your gear, you know,

289
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: to make you realize how short life is. Okay, then

290
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: let me ask you the question. We know exactly somewhat

291
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: what Nate has been through, what he's going through, and

292
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: he's sitting here right in front of us telling us

293
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: we need to respect life and understand it because it

294
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: could go away. At any moment. Have we learned our

295
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: lesson yet? Scary, you haven't learned your lessons. I want

296
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: to learn as I want to learn a lesson from

297
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: you know. Come on, learn the lesson fifteen minute morning

298
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,200
