I've been eating like 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:45.320 leftover Halloween candy. I'm about through it, so that's I 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:50.600 have truly been gaining weight from probably my snacking. That 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.960 or the pregnant zone. I'm on that That steroid always 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.640 does it to me. That one I just made up 0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.520 on the spot here. I did not pre write that joke. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:00.760 Don't even think I'm good. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.760 That was just life. 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:04.120 That one. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:11.400 That one's for you, that one was just life hosting 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.560 jingle balls wild. One minute, I'm hyping up the crowd, 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.560 the next I'm dodging a stage manager who moves like 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.960 he's powered by pure espresso and resentment. If you were 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:25.280 at crash backstage, don't worry. That's just me knocking over 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.319 a prop worth more than my car, especially if I 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.400 don't get those tires soon. What's that car worth with 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.520 no wheels?

See how the iron's sitting, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.440 And you might be saying, Man, Jo sounds like he's 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:36.480 got that pep in his step. 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.000 He must be full of iron. 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.600 He must be rocking. And rolling right now that new 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.560 med meds he's on working. No, not necessarily see what 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.680 happened is is I Uh, I was like, I went 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.680 to have it checked because I am, in fact, probably 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:54.480 pretty low. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:58.120 And all the needed things to keep going. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:03.800 But as I'm at the desk, you know, talking to 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.600 the I don't even know what the reception whoever it 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:14.000 is doing the check in, you know, anymore. To verify 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.960 who you are, they need your name, they need your birthday, 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:22.000 sometimes they need your home address. But in this particular situation, 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.520 she asked for my birthday. 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:28.840 So I give her my birthday and she. 0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:33.480 Loudly goes, no way. And I thought, hey, we have 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.800 the same birthday or something. And I'm like, well, hey, 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:39.640 your birthdays in June and she's like, no, there is 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.320 no way that you were that old. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:50.920 I'm like, what are you talking about? And she's like, 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:52.880 you do not look like you were that old. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.440 And I'm like, hey, I'm gonna take this win because 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.440 I don't get that very often anymore. 0:16:58.840 --> 0:16:59.320 I do. 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:04.320 I do believe my age is in fact catching up 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.840 to me, and uh, I don't get that. I used 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.400 to get that a lot, okay, especially in my thirties 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.080 my thirties. I got it a lot where people thought 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:16.240 I was in my twenties sometimes even younger, you know, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.600 getting id left and right just boom boom boom. But 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:23.359 you know anymore, you know, I don't really get you 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.760 so much of that at all. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:35.120 Got it today, though. Take that as a win. Always 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.560 take that as a win. That's what they said. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.800 Like with the having red hair, they always said when 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.920 I was younger, They're like, you're gonna you're gonna get 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.760 that a lot when you're older. You people are gonna say, oh, 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.000 you look so young. It's just it's in the jeans 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.000 and something about the red headed jeans. I don't know. 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:52.679 I don't know if that's the case or not. But 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.040 whatever else I've got going on, I know is helping 0:17:55.400 --> 0:18:00.239 speed everything up to catch up so we are in 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:00.920 fact getting there. 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.600 I don't Maybe it's the beard. I don't know. You know, 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:08.200 this is gonna be a warm winter for your boy. 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.320 I started growing out my facial hair. I got a 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.720 beard going. I've never been more warm outside. And it's cold, okay, 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.800 it's like ten ten degrees or less in the mornings. 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.879 I think this afternoon. It was maybe in the twenties, 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:33.879 but I'll tell you what my face warm. So first 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:39.879 winter ever, I got the beard going, and I'm wondering, 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.880 should I have been doing this all long? I don't know, 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:45.600 but take that as a win. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:46.720 It could be. 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:51.000 It could very well be the beard covering up my 0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.359 old man face. I think that's what it was, because 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.960 I don't have the gray or the white or whatever. 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:00.919 Maybe today, because I don't know always, maybe today I 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.800 had that life in my eyes and she was just like, man, 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.040 that guy's young. And then you know, I spit out 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:10.080 my age. It verified in the computer and she's like, 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:14.280 no way, we're gonna give credit to the beard on 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:22.160 this one. But as life does, whenever you've got some 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.040 some monster wins like this, it tends to humble you. 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:33.360 And that's what happened not long after that, because I'm 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.240 waiting for tires. See I had an appointment today one 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:39.159 thirty to get all new tires on my car. My 0:19:39.240 --> 0:19:42.480 car desperately need tires. One blue I talked about a 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:44.760 couple weeks ago, one blue. So I'm getting all these 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:50.600 new tires one thirty appointment today, But I apparently not 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:55.240 all the tires were delivered. I you know, they said 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.440 four tires, two of them have been delivered. Then there 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:00.560 was some talk of maybe we had three, so maybe 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:05.640 they had a rando around. I don't know, but either way, 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:09.280 we're waiting on two tires to be delivered for sure. 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.320 And did you know tires they don't come rolling in 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:18.159 on a truck, right, They get like delivered fed X 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.520 or something. At least at this place they did. Because 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:24.840 they're waiting on a fat X delivery. I thought that 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:28.719 was random. You think they would just get like a 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:30.680 truck that rolls up and just drops off all their 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:31.840 tires for him for the week or. 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.520 Something, a couple times a week. 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:39.560 I don't know, but yeah. So so anyways, I'm waiting 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.160 because they they were like, hey, it's fed Ex truck. 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:43.280 I'm waiting on the fedext here. 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:48.120 Any minute, any minute. Spoiler, I still don't have my tires. 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.840 But as I'm waiting, I'm like, oh, cool, I'll go 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.879 walk around like Target or something, you know. So I'm 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:59.040 walking around Target, and here's where life humbles you. I'm 0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:00.720 in the back of the store, having the time of 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.240 my life, just looking at stuff, just look at it stuff. 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:11.879 And uh, I had this instant urge that I was 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.480 going to ship myself, and this is not something that 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:17.480 always happens. I think that's the one of the biggest 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:21.720 make misconceptions with somebody who has like Chrome's disease or colitis, 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.400 is that you're just constantly shitting yourself. This is that's 0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:30.040 not true at all. Now, with that being said, does 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:32.600 it do you have that urge? Do you feel like 0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:37.600 instant immediate, like it's going down. Sometimes yes, And I 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.080 know some people have a far worse than me, so 0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.000 I'm very thankful for that. I'm gonna continue to fight 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:46.280 the good fight and hope that I can get into 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:51.320 remission and not have to deal with it to a deeper, deeper. 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.160 Into the chromes world. 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:57.840 But the thing is, sometimes yes, the urge hits, and 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.280 it's not like, oh, I'm gonna hold it until I know. 0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:01.880 It's like. 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:08.040 I was dodging people in aisles because I was it 0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:10.479 was like one of those things where every step you 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:14.119 take like a fart, like it just they just start 0:22:14.160 --> 0:22:18.679 flying out. And I was at a point where I 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.320 knew if I didn't get to the bathroom now, it 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:27.520 was gonna be worse than these little farts. So it's 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.720 like I didn't want to be embarrassed by ripping farts 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:31.440 by all these people. But then at the same time, 0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:37.639 it would be worse. It could get far worse. So 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.560 what did I do, Johnny? I went straight up to 0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:46.720 the bathroom. But here's what I did anticipate. There was 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:49.480 a guy in the back of the store with these 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:51.919 two kids in his cart, and he's just he's on 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.399 his phone, he's ran and raven to his girl that 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:58.880 he's having to keep the kids, you know, entertained while 0:22:58.920 --> 0:23:05.399 she's doing whatever is she doing. And so I just 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:07.280 thought it was funny. I'm like, oh, this guy is 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:07.880 poor guy. 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.240 He's dealing with his kids. 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:16.040 And then I get up to the front because I'm 0:23:16.040 --> 0:23:21.440
