1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Kabbooms.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 2: If you thought four hours a day, twelve hundred minutes

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: of the old republic, a sol fashion of fairness. He

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: rich pill poppers in the penthouse.

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: The Clearinghouse of Hot takes break free for something special.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 2: The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the.

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: A every way you have stumbled on the Fifth Hour

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: with Ben Mahler and Danny g Radio as we kick

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: off a very important weekend here in the middle part

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: of May. As this is the weekend that the Eagle

14
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: will land in Minnesota. We're gonna have information. If you

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: have not heard any of the promotion for the Malor

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Meet and greet in Minnesota, We're gonna have information on

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: that coming up. But I wanted to do something a

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: little different on the podcast. I figure we have this

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: great platform. We have thousands and thousands of people that

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: download this podcast on a weekly basis. God bless you

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: and thank you for that. And things that catch my attention,

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: things that across my radar that I'm interested in. Why

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: don't we do a little bit of a deeper dive

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: on them and see where we can go. And one

25
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: of the stories over the last couple of weeks that

26
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: has popped into my head and I cannot, I cannot

27
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: get it out of my head is the life and

28
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: times of Bo Jackson. Now, you gotta understand that this

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson story is off the wall if you didn't

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: hear about it, a legend in the NFL with our Raiders,

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: the La Raiders, the Kansas City Royals back in the

32
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. And Bo Jackson is now sixty years old

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: and is suffering from a chronic medical condition hiccups. You

34
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: probably say, well, hiccups are something that happens when you

35
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: drink too much carbonation. You know, I had it when

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: I was a kid, or even as an adult, back

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: when I used to drink soda and I'd have too

38
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: much Doctor Pepper, too much cherry Coke, I would have

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: the hiccups. But there is a chronic level of hiccups.

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: And Bo Jackson said he's had this condition for almost

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: a year. That he's had this it's wild to me. Now.

42
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Another reason that I'm interested, not only was a child

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: when Bo Jackson was playing and I was amazed by

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: the ability to play in the NFL and baseball at

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: the same time. But I started out at a very

46
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: young age. As you may know or may not know,

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: and you may not care, but I started at a

48
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: very young age in radio. I was nineteen years old,

49
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: so I was only a few years removed from being

50
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: like a hart O fan. And one of my first

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: assignments for the station I worked at in San Diego

52
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: was to cover the California as I covered the sports scene.

53
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: But at that time, Bo Jackson had gone through the

54
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: major injury with the Raiders. He had retired from everything.

55
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: He came back as a baseball player. He was playing

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: for the California Angels. And here I am. I'm a

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: nineteen year old guy, and I'm interviewing Bo Jackson. And

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Bo was really cool and he had a bit of

59
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: a stuttering problem, but he didn't mind talking. He was

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: very available to those dopes like me and the other

61
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: idiots in the media. So I'm interested in this, and

62
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: now to hear that Bo's been going through this, I

63
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: didn't even know this was a thing. I didn't really

64
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: know much about it. Bo talked about all these different

65
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: remedies that he's going through. So I said, you know what,

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: we need to get somebody on this podcast. I've got

67
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: to learn more about this. I need to learn more

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: about this. So we'll get into the Minnesota stuff. But

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: before we get to that, I wanted to bring on

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: someone who knows all and my man Danny g He

71
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: turned over some rocks, he went behind some mountains, and

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: we have got on the podcast. Right now, we're gonna

73
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: welcome in MJ. Keeveman is her name, and she has

74
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: forgotten more about hiccups than I will ever know. How

75
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: do I know that? She is the founder, She's the

76
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: CEO of a company which I believe is the only

77
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: company dedicated to researching hiccups. Hello, Yes, we talk to

78
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: the captains of industry on this podcast. But this boat

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: Jackson story fascinates me, as I explained, So let's get

80
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: into it right now. We welcome in MJ. Keeveman is

81
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: her name. Hiccups are her game. And so before we

82
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: get into the boat Jackson stuff, MJ. Tel the lay

83
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: person who's listening to this podcast, like, how does one

84
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: start going down a rabbit hole on the hiccups?

85
00:04:59,760 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: How?

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: How did this begin? Yeah?

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: So I'm the CEO of a company called meter Health,

88
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: who are a biotechnology company that's advancing science and developing

89
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: solutions for the whole spectrum of hiccups, so all the

90
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 3: way from the occasional hiccups that we're familiar with day

91
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: to day to chronic kickups like the one that bo

92
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: Jackson is experiencing. I got into this because I experienced

93
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: what I now know were likely chronic kickups back when

94
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: I was a kid. I had hiccups for about three months,

95
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: multiple bouts per day, the bouts of blasts for hours

96
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: at a time, for months on end, And that's what

97
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: got me into this space. The more that I started

98
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: researching and trying to understand what I was experiencing, the

99
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: more that I realized that it's a severely unmet medical

100
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: need in this space of chronic kickups. And obviously everyone

101
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: thinks of hiccups is something that always goes away with

102
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: time or with the use of home remedies, but for

103
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: millions of people worldwide, including hundreds of thousands of chemotherapy

104
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: patients per year in the US alone, hickups can be devastating,

105
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: a call of life and life threatening, and we call

106
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 3: those chronic kickups.

107
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know. I think we all get hiccups occasionally.

108
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: But I remember when I was a kid, and you know,

109
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: it's always awkwardhen you're around your friends and stuff. But

110
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: how how common you gave some numbers there? How common

111
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: is this? Uh, you know day to day out of

112
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, one hundred people, how many maybe it's even

113
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: more than that, But how how common is like chronic hiccups.

114
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: When we talk about chronic kickups, we typically bucket them

115
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 3: into two different categories. One are chronic kickups that last

116
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: for longer than forty eight hours but are connected to

117
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: when underlying medical condition or medical treatment. So, for example,

118
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 3: patients can experience chronic hiccups related to chemote therapy for

119
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: weeks on ends in relation to their chemot therapy treatments,

120
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: but often those hiccups resolve once they're chemotherapy treatments stop.

121
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: But on the opposite side, we have what are called

122
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 3: intractable hiccups, and intractable hiccups are a subset of chronic

123
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: kickups that last for years and years, and doctors are

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: often unable to pinpoint and underlying cause that's related to

125
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: hiccups or that's causing the hiccups. And that makes them

126
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: extremely difficult to treat and also makes them prone to

127
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: continuing for longer. In terms of chronic hiccups related to

128
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: things like chemotherapy, millions of people experience that worldwide, but

129
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 3: intractable hiccups only about a thousand people experience them per

130
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: year in the US alone.

131
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: Interesting and has anyone explained? Maybe this is out there

132
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: and I'm just an idiot, but like why do why

133
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: do humans hiccup? Like what is the what is the

134
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: reason for that? Is there a good reason for it?

135
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Is it? Does it help some way? Like why do

136
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: we do it at all?

137
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 3: So my scientific co founder actually recently published on this,

138
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: and his theory is that hiccups. Hiccups occur as a

139
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: vestigial breathing pattern. So similarly to the way that we

140
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: have a primary, secondary, and a tertiary cardiac rhythm, we

141
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: also have primary, secondary, and tersiery breathing rhythms. Essentially, So

142
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: anytime that our body is quote shocked out of a

143
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 3: normal breathing pattern, or you feel is that you can't

144
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: breathe normally, you will fall into this secondary or vestigial

145
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: breathing pattern, which is a hiccup breathing pattern. He believes

146
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: that that's an evolutionary response that evolved from our amphibious

147
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 3: ancestors needed a way of bringing water in through the

148
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: gills while keeping it out of the lungs. And amphibians

149
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: have a flap of cartilage called the glottis that helps

150
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: them do exactly that. Humans also have a glottis. So

151
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: that's how we have this physiological hiccup reflex.

152
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: Wow, so we can blame the fact that we were

153
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 1: in the ocean. That's the reason. That's amazing to me.

154
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: I love that. That's great.

155
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 3: Awe, that's super interesting.

156
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: That is that's wild. My mind's wandering here. But let's

157
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: get to Bo Jackson. I want to I wanted to

158
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: talk to you about Bo specifically. You know, I do

159
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: a sports show and a lot of people even though

160
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: this podcast we talked to titans of industry like yourself,

161
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: but we always go through the sports windows. So Bo

162
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: Jackson legendary figure in the sporting world and all that.

163
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: And I saw this interview that he did when he

164
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: revealed that he's had the hiccups, and he actually missed

165
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: a very big event in Alabama at his old school,

166
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: Auburn because he didn't want to show up because he's

167
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: had the hiccups and all that for over a year

168
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's wild. And he said that he's dabbled

169
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: in all these home remedies. And since you run a

170
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: company and you're the CEO of a company involved in

171
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: the hiccup world, I wanted to go through these and

172
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on if they do anything at all

173
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: or they are just nonsense. So Bo Jackson said that

174
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: he tried the scare technique, and uh, what exactly is that?

175
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: For those that don't know, I assume it's kind of

176
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: obvious that you get scared and then you stop doing

177
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: the higgups, But does that work at all?

178
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 3: That could have some scientific merit and could work for

179
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: some people anytime you want to stop the hiccups, you

180
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: want to essentially shock your breathing patterns back to normal.

181
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: I think for a lot of people, being scared wouldn't

182
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: be a subfishment stimulus for that. But it's fully possible

183
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: for some people. But in Bo Jackson's case, there's almost

184
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 3: no way that that would work.

185
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, he also said he tried hanging upside down. I

186
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: think if I tried to hang upside down, MJ, I

187
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: would die, I would not be able to do it,

188
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: But BO said, he tried that you ever heard of

189
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: that working.

190
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: I've actually never heard of that as a remedy before this,

191
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: and I can't really think of a reason why that

192
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: one would work. But yeah, I have not heard of

193
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: that before.

194
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: All right, he said, Now this one, I've heard of

195
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: drinking water. I remember when I was a kid, they

196
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: said cold water. I think was what I remember when

197
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: I was younger. Does that do anything that could provide.

198
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 3: Some stimulation to nerves in the roape, mouth or abdomen

199
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 3: that can help reset breathing patterns, or the act of

200
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 3: swallowing water could provide some crush So that helps you that,

201
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 3: But for most people, even with just occasional, everyday hiccups,

202
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: that's likely too beak of a stimulus.

203
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: All right. Now, the other one here that he mentioned,

204
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: I really need information on this, and you're the person, MJ.

205
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: He said that he smelled the back end of a porcupine.

206
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: He claimed, Now, what the heck is this? Where would

207
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: one say, hey, this is a good idea, let's get

208
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: a porcupine and that will make the hiccups go away.

209
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I genuinely have no idea when people sent me

210
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: this interviewer of the article when it was initially coming out.

211
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: That's what they were all pointing out I have never

212
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: heard about before. I don't know if it was a joke,

213
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: but I have no what a porcupine smelled like. I

214
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: have no input on that own.

215
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 2: Well.

216
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: I would think anything on that end does not smell

217
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: particularly good. But why stop with a porcupine?

218
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 3: Right?

219
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: You can go to the zoo and there's elephants from

220
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Hose and you can just knock yourself out. The

221
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: other one that I remember this is for everything. Any

222
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: if you go to any of these places that have

223
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: like home remedies, they'll say apple cider vinegar that apple

224
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: cider vinegers like the magic elixir. So you are the

225
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: number one person to talk to when it comes to hiccups.

226
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,239
Speaker 1: So does apple cider vinegar MJ work for the hiccups?

227
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Apple setter vinegar can be effective for the hiccups

228
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: A meter halt. We actually have a consumer product that

229
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: it's a lollipop that stop stop pickups that incorporates apple

230
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: cider vinegar. The problem with apple stader finger in a

231
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: lot of cases is that a it's very difficult for

232
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: people to drink. It tastes bad. It's kind of shocking.

233
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 3: But also if you have things like mouthstores from chemotherapy,

234
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: the acidic content of apple setter vinegar can really impact

235
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: things like mouth stores. If you have trouble swallowing, that's

236
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: going to be even more difficult to use. But apple

237
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: set of vinegar can be effective.

238
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: All right, So we've got that, and now let's get

239
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: to the main event here. Jackson said that, and maybe

240
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 1: he's already had it. We have I have not gotten

241
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: an update on this as we're recording this podcast, but

242
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: both said that he was scheduled to have surgery to

243
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: cure the hiccups. This fascinates me, like, what what kind

244
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: of surgery? Uh, you think he's obviously you don't know, Bob,

245
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: But what do you think he's he's going to have

246
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: done here or has had done?

247
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: If I had to guess, I would say that they'd

248
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: be performing a frenic nerve oblation surgery or some other

249
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 3: kind of surgery that would clip some of the key

250
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: nerves involved in the hiccup reflex. There are some other

251
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: surgical or non surgical ways that doctors might approach intractable hiccups.

252
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: Like that botox even is one orthodontic work can be another.

253
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: So orthodonic surgery could make an impact on intractable hiccups.

254
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 3: But my guests would be kind of clipping one of

255
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: those key nerves involved in the hiccup reflex.

256
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: And how long rough has that? I had never heard

257
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: of this before Bow brought it up. That's one of

258
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: the reasons I wanted to talk to you, is like,

259
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: how how long has this procedure been around? Because I

260
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: don't ever remember hearing anything about it. Maybe I'm not

261
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: in that world, you're in that world, But how how

262
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: long has that been around? Is that a long term thing?

263
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: Is more recent?

264
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: It's been more recent if you go back a really

265
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: long time, so back towards just, you know, way further

266
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: back in history, chronic hiccups and intractable hiccups like this

267
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 3: have always been around. These surgical interventions are newer, so

268
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 3: they still aren't I guess as bold documented in terms

269
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: of how they work for the exact kind of surgery

270
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: that people would perform. There's just not a great kind

271
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 3: of diagnosis or treatment protocol for intractable hiccups. These are

272
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: newer surgeries, but they've been around at least for decades.

273
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: I got you. And is this a genetic thing or

274
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: is it something that just kind of develops randomly.

275
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 3: So there can be a variety of factors. What's interesting

276
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: about intractable hiccups And the longest recorded case of intractablehiccups

277
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: ever was sixty four years. They tend to occur more

278
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 3: in men over the age of fifty. But what really

279
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: makes intractable hickups tricky is the fact that they can't

280
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: be linked, oftentimes to an underlying cause. So I know

281
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: a lot of people who I've worked with for many,

282
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: many years who have had their whole quality of life

283
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: just turned around by having intractable hiccups, Because not only

284
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: do the actual hiccups prevent their ability to socialize or

285
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: to have a job, or to eat or to sleep,

286
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: but the fact that there are so many treatment options

287
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: that either only work for a brief period of time

288
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: or don't work at all is also exceptionally frustrating and debilitating.

289
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so you've got your company and you're working

290
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: on different solutions and all that. Do you think that

291
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: we'll have like you could take a pill or something,

292
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: or like, what do you think the end game if

293
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: there is one to make the hiccup problem go away.

294
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that for certain cases, like patients who

295
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 3: have chronic hiccups from chemotherapy. We're developing a pill for

296
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 3: that now. But in terms of intractable hiccups, that could

297
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: be something like a medical device that could also be

298
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: a pill. Trick I think in the case of intractable

299
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: hiccups is to minimize pickups as a symptom, if you will. So,

300
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: Obviously hiccups can be a disease in their own right,

301
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 3: but you want to stop someone from hiccupping while also

302
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: being able to diagnose what might be causing the underlying hiccups.

303
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: So I think managing hiccups on medication, to manage hiccups

304
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: that are intractable, is important. Yeah.

305
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: I was checking out your website and then you'd mentioned

306
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: the like the lollipop, which is not a lollipop. It's

307
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: it's a medical I guess thing, right, it's to help

308
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: the the Uh, how is it different? I guess I'm

309
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: looking at it here, it looks it looks not bad

310
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: at all, Like, what what makes it so magical?

311
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, the lollipops are only meant for occasional hiccups. So

312
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 3: those are the types of pickups that we get from

313
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: drinking alcohol, eating something too fast, et cetera. So hiccups

314
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 3: that only last for under forty eight hours. And what

315
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 3: helps the pop work is both the blend of ingredients

316
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: inside the pop that can send us signal back to

317
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 3: your brain stem where our central pattern generator for breathing

318
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: is and reset breathing patterns back to normal, but also

319
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 3: the actual mechanism of sucking on a lollipop can help

320
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: send that signal as well. It's important to note that

321
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: the kind of stimulus or the signals sent by the

322
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 3: lollipop are not strong enough for cases of chronic hiccups,

323
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: like for bojaction, for example. You need something much stronger

324
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: to continue to help reset breathing patterns back to normal.

325
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: I also saw you had you had a great some

326
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: great stats on this, which I didn't know about until

327
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: I looked at your website, but they said that a

328
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: couple of years ago was the third most searched on Google.

329
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: The third most searched healthcare term was related to hiccups.

330
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: Like this is a big Yeah, it's wild. That's wild

331
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: to me. Why do you think that is?

332
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: Everyone experiences hiccups, and I think that it's a more

333
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 3: prevalent problem than many of us are led to believe.

334
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: I've found that hiccups are kind of a double edged

335
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 3: sword in a way that if you get occasional hiccups frequently,

336
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: or if you've had chronic hiccups, then you can empathize

337
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: really well with someone who is also experiencing chronic hiccups

338
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: or hiccups that are really upsetting their everyday life. But

339
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 3: if you only get hiccups, maybe like once every two

340
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: years for thirty seconds, then you're way less likely to

341
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 3: be empathetic to someone who is going through that. But

342
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: I think it's a more prevalent problem than most of

343
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: us have been led to believe, especially in these medical spaces.

344
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I don't really get the hiccups at on.

345
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: My wife, though she gets some, you know, fairly off.

346
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: So she's like, I've gone through most of the home remedies,

347
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: Like I've done most of the home remedies myself, So

348
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: I might have to look into those lollipos. But if

349
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: people want to know more, MJ. You run. You're the

363
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: As we said here at the start of this podcast,

364
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: as it is meet and Greet weekend today later today,

365
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: on this Friday, I will be taking off and flying

366
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles in the Minnesota. I'm excited about This

367
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: can be a fun weekend in Minneapolis and Saint Paul

368
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: and plan on spending a lot of time in the

369
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 1: great outdoors. Looking forward to that and hanging out. But

370
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: the main event is going to be the Malord Meet

371
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: and Greet. We've done a podcast on this, we had

372
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: spin cycle Regina on not that long ago, but I

373
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: wanted to remind you maybe you haven't listened to that

374
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: podcast or you've heard me mention the meet and greet.

375
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: You've also likely heard random people call up and ask

376
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: for information about the Mallard Meet and greet and all that.

377
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: So let me give you the details again in case

378
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: you are considering going, if you're in the greater Minneapolis

379
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: area or reasonable driving distance. So there are some people

380
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 1: that have told me they're planning on flying in and

381
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: they want to be part of this, and I'm very

382
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: grateful to those people, but I am also realistic that

383
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: for most people, if we are geographically desirable and it

384
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: fits in your schedule, you may consider coming out and

385
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: hang out with us. But let me tell you what

386
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: we've got planned. So nobody else has this content where

387
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: the only podcast that's talking about the Mallard Meet and greet.

388
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: Why would anyone else talk about this? But anyway, So

389
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: the Mallard Meet and greet is going to take place

390
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: at the Mermaid Inn and Event Center. That's two twenty

391
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Mounds View So two two zero zero, I guess that's

392
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: twenty two hundred, twenty two hundred Mounds View Boulevard in

393
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: beautiful Moundsview, Minnesota. It is going to be tomorrow, which

394
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: is Saturday. Unless you're listening to this podcast at a

395
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: different time, it may have already happened. But the event

396
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: is scheduled for May twentieth, which, as we are doing

397
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: this podcast here on a Friday, that would be tomorrow.

398
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: And the reason we are doing the podcast or the show,

399
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: I should say, a meet and greet for the show

400
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: from Minnesota is just to hang out, to thank you

401
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: for supporting the show, and to say hello and introduce myself.

402
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: And if you've never been to a Malard meet and greet,

403
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: these have spanned the full spectrum. We have had crazy,

404
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: drunken parties with all kinds of ridiculousness that has taken place.

405
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: We have also had very small intimate meet and greets

406
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: you never know, and I've heard some amazing things. The

407
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: event has been put together by our friends spin Cycle Regina.

408
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: She is the hostess with the mostess. She is the

409
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: party planner. It is absolutely free to attend. We're not

410
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: charging you to attend. I have been told in recent

411
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: days to expect the unexpected. I don't know what that means.

412
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means in the context of

413
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: a Mallard meet and greet. I do know that Doc

414
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: Mike is driving in from Chicago, so you got the doc.

415
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: I have been told that Hollering James will be making

416
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: an appearance. The Great Hollering James a legend on the show.

417
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: If you don't know Hollering James work. James has been

418
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: calling show for a number of years. He's got a

419
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: few issues, don't we all. But James is a very passionate,

420
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: hardcore Minnesota sportsman and it hasn't gone well for his teams.

421
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: They all suck, but doesn't stop James from screaming and shouting.

422
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: He loves being part of the show and we love

423
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: having Hollering James. The reason he got the nickname Hollering

424
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: James is because he was evicted from a house that

425
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: he was living in because he became addicted to calling

426
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: our show in the middle of the night and screaming

427
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: and shouting and yelling and going bonkers, and as a

428
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 1: result of that activity, James ended up getting evicted, so

429
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: we called him Hollering James. The name has stayed. I've

430
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: never met him, and I look forward to that, but

431
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: I really look forward to meeting everybody, and I realize

432
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: that this is always an awkward situation. I am a

433
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: massive introvert. That's why I went into radio as an extrovert.

434
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: I'd be in television, but I'm an introvert. And when

435
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: you're an introvert, it's odd in a lot of people

436
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: that listen to the show. It's kind of a weird thing.

437
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: You don't even know anybody you go to an event

438
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: like this. Now there are extroverts that show up, and

439
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: those people always are the star of the show to

440
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: these type events. But for one day, I'm going to

441
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: attempt to be an extrovert, and I will try to

442
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: go around the room and try to say hello to everybody,

443
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: And there's always that weird thing like do you who

444
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: do you approach? How do you approach them? And as

445
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: much as I'd like to make this all about me

446
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: because my name's in the title Malard Meet and Greet,

447
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: I would also like to point out it's really about

448
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: just hanging out with like minded people, people who are

449
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: also part of the tribe, the Malord militia, people that

450
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: have stayed up just like you have and listen to

451
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: the live radio show or used to listen a live

452
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: show and now listen to the podcast, and so just

453
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: kind of hang out and you can talk to other

454
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: fans of the show and people that are listeners like yourself,

455
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: and you can exchange different ideas. And we've had friendships

456
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: that have been born out of these things in the past,

457
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: and I always love when people will email me and so,

458
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, I met somebody at the Boston meet and greet.

459
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: We're still friends. We hang out, you know, golf occasionally,

460
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: or we'll go out and hang out and do some

461
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: random activity. Some people even don't even they don't actually

462
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: meet in person, they become friends and then they're like

463
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: Facebook friends. But yeah, whatever floats your boat. Man, I'm

464
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: not who am I to judge? Sometimes those are the

465
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: best friends in the world, the cyber friends, not the

466
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: real friends. So anyway, it's it's gonna be a lot

467
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: of fun. There's gonna be a live band there. From

468
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: what I understand this, this is crazy. Doc Mike would

469
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 1: like me to be the deacon, So I guess I

470
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: will be the deacon if I follow that plan. And

471
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: we're not charging you for money. There's going to be

472
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: food available. I've never been to the Mermaid in and

473
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: event centered. There's a hotel there and if you're interested

474
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: in more information, or if you'd like to RSVP and

475
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: you want to contact our friends spin Cycle Regina. Now

476
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to RSVP. It would be more convenient

477
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: for us if you did, but I realized you might

478
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: be a game time decision and it might not be

479
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: something that you're willing to commit to. So either way,

480
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: you can email at spin Cycle Regina at gmail dot com.

481
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: She is the party planner, so you can let her know.

482
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 1: She wants a rough estimate of how many people are

483
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: going to be there. I'm told there'll be a ton

484
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: of Viking fans, because why not. But there are people

485
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: coming in from Wisconsin. I've been told there's some people

486
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: from Iowa docs coming from Illinois. So you never know

487
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: who's going to show up. We did one of these

488
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: in Boston and there was a guy who's a big

489
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: fan of the show who drove from Toronto. We had

490
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: a guide drive from Florida with Roscoe the Parrot. David

491
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: in winter Park, Florida famously showed up, which was wild

492
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: to me, wild and crazy that he did that. And

493
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: so you never know. But it doesn't matter whether you

494
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: live right around the corner or whether you live thousands

495
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: of miles away. The fact that you are taking time

496
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: out of your schedule. It is the most valuable thing

497
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: you have. The most valuable thing we all have is time,

498
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: and you're going to spend some of that with me

499
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: and the friends of the show. It does mean a lot,

500
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: and so I look forward to meeting you. Hopefully you'll

501
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: be there if you can make it be great. We've
