Speaker 1: mental health check in. Here's Jay Glazer. Welcome back to Unbreakable,

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: mental health podcast with Jay Glazer. A lot of people

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: ask me where the term I'm breakable comes from. Why

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: I name my book I'm Breakable podcast, I'm Breakable, my

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: gym unbreakable. My line at g n C unbreakable because

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm breakable for me is something they try to break

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: me but couldn't. And I came through the other side

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: of that tunnel and I can now use that in

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: every step of my life moving forward. That moment for

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: me was about oh seven and a half years ago.

12
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: I went in for a where we're supposed to be

13
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: just a regular little back deal. I ruptured L four

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: L five again. I've done it three times. Proud of

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: that too. Wrestling and fighting and to mixed martial arts,

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: and I was just supposed to go and just emforturely

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: get a little piece, just cleaned up off the nerve,

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: nothing big. The night before I had dinner with a

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,919
Speaker 1: friend my named Craig Lay, and both of us finish

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: up dinner, we had indigestion. Didn't think much about it afterwards,

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: and but I'd stopped eating twelve hours out. So I

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: go in for the procedure the next morning, and apparently

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: I had thrown up my entire meal for the night

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: before and stomach acid and bio, and I drowned in it,

25
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: and the natsiologist, I guess it walked away, um and

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: then they just heard me convulsing. So all that acid

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: and bile and undigested food went into both of my lungs.

28
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Usually you have a valve when you asper rate that

29
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: protects you from from both of your lung shilling up

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: both my lungs field. I guess if I have to

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: do something, I gotta do it big. So next thing

32
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: I know, I'm in a wheelchair. I'm getting and by

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: the way, the reason why my voice is like this

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: because they shoved the tube down try to revive me,

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: and they clip my vocal cord. So I'm getting rushed

36
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: the cedars SINAI to the head of respiratory. I'm in

37
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: a wheelchair, I'm freezing. I don't understand what's going on.

38
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: I got an oxygen tank on me. It's also the

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: day that free agency is beginning, all right, So I

40
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: got my cell phones. Somehow I got my cell phone

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: still on me, and I guess I wouldn't give it

42
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: up there in the procedure. And all I know is

43
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: I wake up on this bourney Cedar Sana and Randy

44
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Coutour is standing over me. UFC Hall of Fame, Randy

45
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Contour standing over me. And I said to myself, well,

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: if I'm dead, I ain't in heaven because he wouldn't

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: be here. Sorry, Randy had to give you a little

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: shot there. But I don't really understand what's going on.

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: So again, double aspiration pneumonia is what I ended up having.

50
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: I think se my lungs were burnt. For people who

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: don't really understand this when people ow a deal a

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: lot of times and they died because they aspirate. Both

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: of my lungs had aspirated and they had I was

54
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: in critical care. They had an oxygen oxygen mask on me,

55
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: another tube of my nose, and IVY trying to pump

56
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: me through full of stuff for the infection in my lungs.

57
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 1: Because when acid drops on your on your skin and

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: your lungs right, it bubbles up, it becomes infected. And

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: my oxygen was in the seventies. You need your oxygen

60
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: to b really to live. Well, you can be in

61
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: the nineties, but you can't be in the seventies. So

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm on my phone and the nurses are

63
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: begging Randy gatur To, begging me to get off my phone.

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm trying to work free agency, like Mr Getour please

65
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: have your friend Mr Glazer. He's got to get off

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: his phone. He doesn't understand what's going on. And I

67
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: really didn't understand. There's a lot of beeps going on.

68
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get it. I didn't understand, and I'm like, Randy,

69
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: it's free agency. He's like, hey, cowboy, I think this

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: is I think this is real. I think we're in

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: some trouble here. I'm like, dude, I don't know what

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: they're talking about. Pneumonia. I wasn't sick, and I still

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: didn't really get it. And Randy had stepped out, and

74
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: there's begging me to get off the phone, and all

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, shoot the entire room went about ten

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: feet away from me, and those beeps started beeping a

77
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: lot more and no. At one point my oxygen had

78
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: gone down to sixty and that room went across the way,

79
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: and I said, man, this is it. This is my moment,

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: and put my phone down and I started talking to God.

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: A lot of us make these deals with God right

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: when we're have near death experiences. But I wanted this,

83
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: this one to be different. And I said, God, and

84
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: maybe about to come see you. And if I am,

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: it's okay. I love you. But I think there's more

86
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: I could do in this world. And if there is,

87
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to step in here if you can,

88
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: and you step in here right now, I promise you.

89
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I will do more for this world. I will help others,

90
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: I promise you. And as I say that, shoot, the

91
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: room comes back in and my oxygen goes from sixty

92
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: or seventy to poom, just like that. Well, I spent

93
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: a week in critical care and then in a month

94
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: on an oxygen tank. I opened up my gym on

95
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: breakable with the use of an oxygen tank. So the

96
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: point of my book, the point of this podcast, this

97
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: is my way of keeping my promise to God. A

98
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: lot of us make that same deal. Once we get

99
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: out of the woods, we forget about it. I don't

100
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: want to forget about it. So this is my way

101
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: of keeping my promise to God. This is something that's

102
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: something that could have and should have broken me, but didn't.

103
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: I came through the other side of that tunnel and

104
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: I could use that in my next step in life.

105
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: So thank you all for allowing me to keep my

106
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: promise to God, keep walking this walk together
