00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: friend in Maine who I met in Boston. Now she

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: I didn't actually give her my number, her and her

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: her guy Paul there. I didn't give her my number,

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: but I she was gonna send me. This is a funny.

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: right in Maine. And so I'm like, all right, whatever. Uh.

43
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: And so I had to take a picture of my

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: my business card which they gave me years ago, to

45
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,520

Speaker 1: she got a photo of my my number and uh

50

00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: that's the most recent one. But that was not an

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: intentional act. That was not an intentional act. Since I

72
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: this type of broadcasting, do you not. It's uh, it's

73
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: a little bit different than eulogy radio. You have different forms.

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: Some of it you are you are bombastic. A couple

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: of days ago it was a great rout with the

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Houston Astros. Other times it's frankly just ejaculation radio because

77
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: you have listeners that come on and profess their love

78
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: to you. What's wrong with that? It's disgusting. And then

79
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: you have and then you have staff members that just

80
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: foam at the mouth because of you, which is a

81
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: little annoying to um. But yes, it's just foaming, well,

82
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: angry in anger, foaming the mouth. But no, no, no no, no, no, no.

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: Like Brian Finley loves you, he adores you. He's the exceptional.

84
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: Brian Finley is like a Bennett. But Finley is like

85
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: the one of the only Benett's that's in the building.

86
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Like everyone else is like, screw this guy's terrible, Get

87
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: somebody else in there. I don't think that's true, especially

88
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: when you're gone for a couple of days, like you

89
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: took a week off for vacation purposes, just like, Yes,

90
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I booked myself at a four day four and a

91
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: half days at a bed in bath in a hospital. Yes,

92
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I did. Hashtag sleep number bed four

93
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: nights at a hospital of your choice, unplanned, Yes, vacation. Oh,

94
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: it's good to know that I had the sick time.

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I did not know that. Yeah, continue, I'm listen. It

96
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: was it was a little empty of a feeling for

97
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: you being gone for a week. Uh. I was actually

98
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: a little shocked when I knew something was up, because

99
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: I sent you a acid amount of Textas that usually

100
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: will respond, you'll respond accordingly with a wow, or what

101
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: the hell you're sending me? Or this is disgusting. But

102
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I got a text from another

103
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: number that I didn't recognize and it was your better

104
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: half and I was like, oh Ship, something's up. Halfway

105
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: through the text message, I realized, oh Ship, something's up.

106
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: And then I had the news broken to me and

107
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, jokes aside. I hope this

108
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: guy's all right. Very very odd for you to do

109
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: jokes aside. So anyway, I got a lot of email.

110
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: I told people on the radio show that I would

111
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: spend more time here on the podcast talking about it

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: for those that are interested. If you're not in, said, boy,

113
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one hell of a boring podcast.

114
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: My god, is this going to be terrible if you

115
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: don't care about this. But so as you know, we

116
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: we didn't do the podcast last week. I did have

117
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the doctor's note if I can show you that gascon

118
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: if you want, and uh, I did get rushed by

119
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: my wife there to the emergency room on Friday. This

120
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: was November one. But to give you the backstory, so,

121
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: I I had started feeling like shit the previous Sunday.

122
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: I I felt pain like it was it was not good.

123
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: I was on my way to actually Staplesenter. I was

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: at a Laker Hornets game. Sitting in the near the

125
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: Pearly gates there watching that game on a on a

126
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night, and I I figured it was acid reflux.

127
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: So I self diagnosed myself. I wanted the internet and

128
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: went to a couple of sites and I put my

129
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: symptoms in and uh and I and they put it

130
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: all there. Whatever. So I treated it with my amish cure.

131
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: It didn't get better this time. It didn't get better. Uh.

132
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: It stayed bad but manageable. For several days. I the

133
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: pain was continuing, and I did the show. Here's what

134
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: the day I should win like some kind of award here.

135
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: I did the show every night for five nights, withering

136
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: in pain, right, And then on Thursday into Friday, I

137
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: did the show normally or somewhat normals Halloween, you know,

138
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: in the November one. I then went to the gym.

139
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: I've been working out all week. I did my workout.

140
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: I was still in pain. And then I got home

141
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: and actually started feeling a little better. And then around

142
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: the time I went to bed, we attempted to go

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: to bed. It's like seven in the mornings, maybe eight

144
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: in the morning. Uh, and I just could not. It

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: got worse. I couldn't get comfortable, and it was this

146
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: throbbing like pain in my chest area. But it kind

147
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: of felt like acid reflects to me, but it was

148
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: it was pure agony. So anyway, here's how I ended

149
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: up going to the hospital. So I attempted to go

150
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: to bed at approximately seven in the morning, all right.

151
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: I then twisted and turned. I took showers and bass,

152
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: I drank magical potions. My wife cooked up until six

153
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: o'clock at night. I did not sleep on Friday. I

154
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: was up from all four when I went when I

155
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: woke up on Thursday ironically to do this podcast until

156
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: Friday night at six, and I couldn't go to sleep

157
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 1: then because I I I just was terrible. My wife

158
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: got medicine, I drank water. I did everything I could

159
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: to feel better, and after twelve hours I got taken

160
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: to the emergency room and I end up staying there

161
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: for from Friday night till Tuesday afternoon. And in that

162
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: time I had my gall bladder removed. That was Sunday

163
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: during the late television window, so I did not get

164
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: to watch well Baker Mayfield. Uh so that was I

165
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: had a better day than him. As the year that

166
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: joke goes. But but this is typically a pretty routine

167
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: medical procedure. That's the other thing. Guess gun. It is

168
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: typically an in and out thing. But I hadlications. That's

169
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: why I had to stay longer. And you know other

170
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: people have this, they're out the same day. But because

171
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: my gall bladder was such a such a mess that

172
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: it was pretty much just a collection of gall stones

173
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: loosely hanging together and ready to fall apart and wreck

174
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: havoc on the enters of my body, they considered actually

175
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: a second medical procedure. That's one of the reasons they

176
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: didn't operate the first time, because I still I had

177
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: gall stones, they thought messing around, so they were gonna

178
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: a procedure before the other procedure. Uh. And there was

179
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: a team of doctors trying to figure out how to

180
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: fix all this. And it makes you feel very good.

181
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: It makes you feel very good. But that's that's the

182
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: backstory on how this all down. Well, and you want

183
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: to medal for this, which is I want a purple heart.

184
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: It's a little mind boggling because I saw you that

185
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Sunday night and I actually offered to go to Whole

186
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: Food to get you some probiotics or some tons. You said, no,

187
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: well that wouldn't have worked. Stupid, I know, but I'm

188
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 1: just I'm just saying, oh, yeah, says the guy that

189
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: way in a week after self diagnosing him having gall stones,

190
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: which I I has been, my wife said that it's

191
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: been compared one of her friends. Uh as, it's compared

192
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: to like the paint agony of childbirth, but worse. Yeah,

193
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: it's like kidney stones. But your wife also recommended that

194
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: you went to the doctor a week prior to you

195
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 1: actually go into the er room. So the fact that

196
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: you want to medal because two people recommended a little

197
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: bit of a remedy and you ignored both. Well, in fairness,

198
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: my wife always recommends going to the doctor, So it's

199
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: not that's her default. You'll go with the doctor. Check

200
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: it out. Why. I think her occupation has something to

201
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: do with it. She does work in trauma. Possibly that

202
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: could be the case. Alright, So moving out, we got

203
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: mellow yellow tomato. Tomato. This is continuing. It's all about

204
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: my gall bladder. I'm not done with the gall black.

205
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: I know I was gonna ask you, do you have

206
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: a souvenir. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk

210
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: we'll get to that, all right. So there were two

211
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: times during all of this medical malady that I thought

212
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: I was actually in some peril. All right, now, Normally

213
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, come on, I'm gonna be

214
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: fine no matter what. But when now, when my wife

215
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: dragged me to the emergency room and they started to

216
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: examine me, this is the first moment that I thought, oh,

217
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: oh shit, this is this is not good. The e

218
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: R doctor said I was turning jaundice. That for those

219
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: that don't know, that means you're you're the whites of

220
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: your eyes and the skin start turning yellow. Yeah. Uh

221
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: and uh. And I had a flashback because one might

222
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: my mom passed away a number of years ago from

223
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: from cancer and she she had I remember when she

224
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: started getting worse her skin, she started turning jaundice at

225
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: the end before she passed away, And uh, it freaked

226
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: me out. I was like, oh, you know, I didn't

227
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: I said much, but on the inside, I'm like, oh crap,

228
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: Like this is uh I was. I was like wow,

229
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: and but apparently it's common when you have extreme gall

230
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: stones like I had, and you do go an entire

231
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: a week without treating them. Um, And so that that

232
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: freaked me out. And the other thing that freaked me

233
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: out was the nurses and the doctors. They wanted me.

234
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: They wanted me to pee into a cup like I

235
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: was an NFL player doing steroids, and they wanted me

236
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: to know, to examine my urine and all that stuff. So, um,

237
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: which is what you have to do in any of

238
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: these situations. So and my, my, my, my urine. Guest,

239
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: you're very fascinated. It's been a little darker than normal,

240
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: which is apparently a sign that your body is screwed

241
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: and dehydrated. Yeah, but on that Saturday night, now I

242
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: was alone more on this for a few hours. So yeah,

243
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: there's nothing more dangerous than when you're alone. Your mind

244
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: plays the mind tricks on you, especially in the hospital.

245
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: And that was the day the time change happened. So

246
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: at an extra hour that night in the hospital, which

247
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: is even better. So I piste into the cup and

248
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: I turned on the light and it looked handed god

249
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: like tomato juice. I was urinating V eight and uh,

250
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: you know, my wife had gone home because she couldn't

251
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: spend the night because the hospital had rules. Uh, so

252
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: she couldn't stay. I was all alone, and my mind

253
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: started playing, you know, walking away. I went on the

254
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: phone and I looked up you know what happens when

255
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: your urine looks like tomato juice? You know? Uh that

256
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: was a mistake. And after I read a few things

257
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: on the internet, I was convinced I was gonna die.

258
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: And then around if it was. It was late at night,

259
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: but my mother in law, who's she had text me

260
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: to see how I was doing. She's a very very

261
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: she's had a big careers. E ar nurse in l

262
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: A and uh we get along good. And she she

263
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: texted me and I was like, well, my I tried

264
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: texting my wife, but she was sleeping, so I was like, hey,

265
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: it looked like blood, but you know she she was

266
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: freaking out too. But then it turned out that it

267
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: was apparently other crap that was looked like blood but

268
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: was not as bad as blood. I do you know

269
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: what Billy Reuben is, guest gun Uh yeah, I didn't

270
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 1: either until this, but apparently there the Billy Ruben levels

271
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: uh in your body from your gall bladder. If you

272
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: have excessive billy Ruben in your system that causes this

273
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: to happen. And so it's supposed to be for the

274
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: average human being, it's supposed to be below one. My

275
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: billy reuben was almost nine. Oh my god. Yeah, it

276
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: was a bad situation. But hey, I learned what. I

277
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: don't need it, and I don't think I do. I

278
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: have the billy Reuben still. I don't think I do

279
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: because I don't have my gall bladder anymore. But yeah,

280
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: like billy Reuben is a yellowish substance made during the

281
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: body's normal process of breaking down red blood cells. There

282
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: you go. Yeah, so that's that that The billy Reuben

283
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: level was through the roof, and they messed with everything,

284
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: like the whole thing, and I'm like, oh man, it's brutal, alright,

285
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: that we've got elementary. Also, you're listening to the fifth Hour,

286
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: but you know that already, the elementary part. So I

287
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: spent four nights and not the brad guest gun four

288
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: nights and a part of a fifth day at the hospital.

289
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: And this is not the vacation I needed or I wanted.

290
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: I didn't notice though, that for the first time in

291
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: my life since I was in elementary school or junior

292
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: high school. Time slowed down like it's slowed down when

293
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: I was in the hospital. I flashed back when I

294
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: was in Northwood Elementary School and in the o C.

295
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: And I would watch the clock slowly tick forward and

296
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: and and plus. As I said, I had the good

297
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: fortune of spending the extra hour in the infirmary and

298
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: all that. I mean, it was. It was crazy this

299
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: and that. Everyone says the same thing. You cannot sleep

300
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: in hospitals. I noticed that they took my vitals, Uh,

301
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: they messed with my had and I v gon and

302
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: or they take my blood one of those things every

303
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: hour at least at night and then but during the

304
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: day it didn't seem to happen as often. The main problem, though,

305
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: is I did not have a private room. I had

306
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: a shared experience guest, older, younger, all older men, three

307
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: older men. I had roommates. Now, you know, I think

308
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: about I was there long enough. Three different people came

309
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: and left the hospital. Well I was there, that's a

310
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: good sign. Yeah. And now there were two guys that

311
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: had knee replacement operations. The other guy, who actually was

312
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: the nicest of the guys was he had an anal fisher.

00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: good attitude about got The guy was upset because he's

00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: big party plan for the Raiders game that day against

317
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,520

322
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: but he was like, he had a very good attitude

323
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: about He was, you know, smiling and we're talking back

324
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: and forth. The the other guys. Yeah, not that so

325
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: much much older than me, that all these guys are

326
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: older than me. But the other guys were really older

327
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: than me. And it was, Yeah, it's just weird because

328
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: you're you're not antisocial, but you're an introvert. So for

329
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: you to want somebody around or or critique the people

330
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: that are around you because they're not nice or not talkative,

331
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: it's a little it's a little bit of a mix bag,

332
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: don't you think, Well, I'm not looking to have a wonderful,

333
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: heart felt conversation. I just want someone that's not a dick.

334
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: That's that's all. Or not, you know, it doesn't snore.

335
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean I couldn't sleep because I had my ear

336
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, I had my ear plugs, but they really work.

337
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: And then they had, you know, people snoring and farting,

338
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: and you know, it's wonder It's like sleeping next to hollering. James. Yeah,

339
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: it's like it's like being on a retreat or like

340
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: on a boy scout trip or something like that. And

341
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: they were back in the day. I just a bunch

342
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: of punks in a in a bunk bed. Now, were

343
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: you thinking of any monologues while you were just laying

344
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: bedridden that was going through your mind outside of dying? Said,

345
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: I was trying to keep track of what was going

346
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: on in sports. I did see like the Kauhi Leonard

347
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: load management. I said, that would have been great. I

348
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: could have done like a two hours on load management

349
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: if I had been on there because he missed a

350
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: thing it's like the fourth game of the year or

351
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: something like that. That would have been good. And there

352
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: were a couple of things I was like, I wish

353
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: I had been you know, but the other times I

354
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: was like, I don't really care about that. You know,

355
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: I got, I got my own problems. But what kind

356
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: of drugs did you take? Uh? Yeah, well we'll get

357
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: to that. Uh. They gave me a bunch of ivs.

358
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: I took morphine. Morphine actually when I got to the

359
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: hospital and give me morphine. That actually helped pass the

360
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: gall stone because it opens up the tubes in your

361
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: body there. And I thank God for the morphine because

362
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 1: otherwise they would have had to have a second medical

363
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: procedure and that would have they would have knocked me

364
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: out twice and not cut me open. That correct me

365
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. But I know on kidney stones they

366
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: can they can shoot it with a laser. Can they

367
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: do that with with gall stones or no? I don't

368
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: think so. I I don't know, but uh, I want

369
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: to address on the email I got. I gotta ask

370
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: a lot of questions, a lot of questions people. Some jackasses.

371
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: I think they're your your friends against We're like, it's

372
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 1: your diet man suits you you you this intermitted Fasting

373
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: said something too, something about your past. Yeah yeah, yeah,

374
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: Well well so anyway, so these smarty pants, okay, uh,

375
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: these smarty pants who seemed to believe that my inner

376
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: minute fasting is to blame for all this. That is

377
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: fake news. That is fake news. I talked to the

378
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: doctor before and after the operation they gotta cut me up,

379
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: and he said the diet, that part of the diet

380
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with Uh. This was a case

381
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: of my you know, the chickens coming home to roost.

382
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 1: And I owe you from when I was in my

383
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: twenties and my early thirties and I ate ship. Every night.

384
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 1: I would be at Dodger Stadium eating ballpark food, or

385
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: I'd go to Tommy's for chili cheese fries in the

386
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: middle of the night, or go pick up a ten

387
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: pack of tacos on the way home from some fast

388
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: food joy. I mean, that's that's where this came from.

389
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: It did not happen since I got married. Actually, I've

390
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: eaten better. I still only great, but I've eaten a

391
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: lot better than when I was single and I was

392
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: a bachelor and I would just eat whatever ship I

393
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: could get my hands on. It was cheap, I didn't care.

394
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: It was quantity over quality and all this stuff. So

395
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: but this is this is all about my bad eating

396
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: habits when I was younger. It's paid me back in

397
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: spades here. And uh, I've often said at some point

398
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: that this will happen. I didn't think it would happen yet.

399
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: I thought I'd get a few more years before this

400
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: this stuff started happen. Well, yeah, and of course it's

401
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: better to happen now when you're when you're up and

402
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 1: healthy relatively speaking, and you're exercising and you're always working,

403
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: as opposed to later on your years, where yeah, something

404
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: like this could be a severe medical emergency and then

405
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: you're tapped out your six under. Yeah, I mean you

406
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: can it doesn't happen at all, but you can die

407
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: from the gall Black people have died from this, if

408
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: you know. So. Fortunately, obviously, I guess I think I'm

409
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: still here alive. I don't know, maybe I'm in a

410
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: parallel universe here. I had no idea that just did

411
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: the mrs take any good selfies? She took a couple

412
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: of pictures of me, and I looked like death warmed over. Yeah,

413
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: in the hospital, but then those are not for public consumptions,

414
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: So unfortunately told her, I said, no photos. I don't

415
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: need people to see me in here. I'm good, you know,

416
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: because I I know any photo of me in the

417
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: hospital would have resulted in seven thousand memes, you know,

418
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: and I don't need that ship because they would have

419
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: continued forever. I was probic a little bit. Yeah, I'm

420
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: sure you were. I'm sure you be sure to catch

421
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Meller Show week days at

422
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: two a m. Eastern. Now the good news there is

423
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: a positive. There's two positives that came out all this. Okay,

424
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: we'll put we'll end my goal talk here, but there's

425
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: two things that are very positive. I already started to

426
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: resume my INTERNI minute fasting. Uh. And one of the

427
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: great things about this is I set what I believe

428
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: is an unbreakable record for fasting. Okay, because I was.

429
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: I was on a fast when I got taken inter

430
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: minute fast. When I got taken to the emergency room,

431
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: I had not eaten since Thursday, Halloween night, and it

432
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: was Friday, November one, So I didn't eatn in about

433
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: a day over a day. Uh. And I go to

434
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: the emergency room and then they wouldn't let me eat

435
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: or drink water because I they at any moment I

436
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: was gonna be taken into the operating room, so you

437
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: can't have food or water. So and then they didn't

438
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: want to operate because there were complications with my gall

439
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: stones and that's why I was in the hospital for song.

440
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: So so anyway, I ended up going ninety hours in

441
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 1: seven minutes. I think I sent you a screen shot,

442
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: guess gun. Ninety hours in seven minutes between between meals,

443
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: and for much of that I didn't even have what

444
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: normally I just drink a lot of water, So it's

445
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: not that big a deal. I had my stomach is full.

446
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: But I went ninety hours and seven minutes without eating food.

447
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. And uh, were you thinking about food

448
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: though at all? Uh? No, I always not. At the beginning,

449
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't because I was in pain, I wasn't thinking

450
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: about it. And then at the end, I was just

451
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: trying to get out of the hospital, so I wasn't

452
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: really thinking about it. I was. I was worried about

453
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: the surgery and all that, but um, I was less

454
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: than six hours away from four full days without eating

455
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: my own personal hunger strike guest gon and then the

456
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: other thing that I'm so happy about it, and I'm like,

457
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: I should put this in my book when I write

458
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: my book some day is from the moment I went

459
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: into the hospital to the moment I came out of

460
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: But four days I lost eight pounds. I lost eight pounds.

461
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: How great is that? Eight pounds in four days gone?

462
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: You lost your gall bladder. Well, that doesn't weigh eight pounds.

463
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: The gall bladdersn't weigh that well with you. You never know,

464
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: you didn't say. He did say, it's the spades of

465
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: your of your bad days in your twenties and your

466
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: early thirties. So yeah, you never know. Uh, you know.

467
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: I was not that bad. But to answer your other question,

468
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 1: I did not get an offer to take the gall

469
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: bladder because it was really not a gall bladder anymore.

470
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: It was just a collection of gall stones. It was

471
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: like a be taking a cup of sand from the beach. Uh.

472
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: I want to ninety plus hours on a fast. That's

473
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: pretty damn good, especially when your bedridden, tune you have

474
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: nothing else to do. Um, But what a lonely feeling

475
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: to you for a while, you said, because the misses

476
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: was out and so you're by your lonesome, and just

477
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: as you said, self medicate and self diagnosed. That's a

478
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: dangerous feeling, especially when when something serious like this is

479
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: not like your tonsils or your pendix or a broken

480
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: bone or a bust attendant. This is your gall bladders.

481
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, I I felt bad for you. I

482
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: felt now you were sending me messages. Why did you

483
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: do the show from the hospital. Well, things like that.

484
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: That's compelling radio, though, that's compelling that people live to

528
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: that's like, that's more competitive than the Pack twelve. It is.

529
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,400

00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 1: all these schools are like two eighty two nine pounds.

538

546
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: and I will give you a piece of advice, since

547
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: we're going from your domain to mine, stay in your

548
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: later and do your John. I'm gonna be like Ron Santo,

549
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: you know when he the late Ron Santo, when he

550
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: would talk over the play by I've consulted with my

551
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: my counsel on this, Tom Looney, who has told me to.

552
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: So we used to talk about this years ago when

553
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: I did the Blitz Looney on Sundays and we'd interview

554
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: all these play by play guys and commentators for Fox,

555
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: and we always said, well we could do that. I mean,

556
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty simple, no big deal, you know. And

557
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: and so so Looney I told him I was texting

558
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: the other day, I said, you know, guesscon is gonna

559
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: be I'm doing some high school game on Friday night,

560
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: and guess Gon's giving me the rap and all that stuff,

561
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: and you know, give me the what's going on or

562
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: or Looney. Uh he was telling me he was gonna

563
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: so anyway. Uh, Loony's like, all right, you got both

564
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: teams got played hard, you know, bring your a game,

565
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: you know, and he's give me all these cliches that

566
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: I gotta work out, these generic football terms that I

567
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: have to throw out there. Half time adjustments, nothing's changed

568
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: more in my I will use that line. Guess got

569
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: nothing's changed more in my life time than halftime adjustments

570
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: that will be said when we start the second half.

571
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: My style Gascon will be a mix of John Madden

572
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: early Madden, Tony Romo, I'll mix him and there Paul McGuire,

573
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: a forgotten broadcast ABC. Yeah. Uh, and I'll mix that

574
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: with like Homer Simpson. All right, I'll mix that with

575
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Homer Simpson. So, and people can actually watch this. They

576
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: have to pay for it, guests, No, it's free charge.

577
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,560

580
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,600

581
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: how do you get to the game, because people are stupid?

582
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,880

584
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: for that's it, Yeah, Fox Sports Go. And then at

585
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: the top usually there's a magnifying glass or a search

586
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: icon and you just type in either centennial or J Sarah.

587
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: So it's J and then s E R R A.

588
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: It's one word, but it's Jay Sarah, so it'll pop up.

589
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing too. I don't know if

590
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: you're aware of this, is that depending on how the

591
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: game goes, like production wise, competit of nature and on stuff,

592
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: it could be like the NFL and the Sunday NFL

593
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,719
Speaker 1: Pass were certain games they'll go from CBS or Fox

594
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: and they get flexed. They get flexed to the nightcap. Well,

595
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: if our game is good, we'll get flexed out and

596
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: we'll be on Fox Sports West or Fox Sports Prime Ticket.

597
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: How about that? Great? You know I was on Fox

598
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: Sports Prime Ticket years ago when Steve Mason and John

599
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Ireland's morning show was simulcast and I hosted that show

600
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: one day and also guest Gone Before Your Time. I

601
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: was a regular contributor in an Evergreen TV program where

602
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: we we looked back at great moments in sports and

603
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and that aired on Fox Sports Network

604
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: for like six years or something like that as filler programming.

605
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: They have nothing else, which is what that reminds me.

606
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: You also, with all those personalities that you're bringing in,

607
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: you're also gonna bring in the flavor of Bruce Arians too, right, Yeah,

608
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: I am planning on wearing the Arians cap. That is

609
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: my plan because otherwise that people will just goof on

610
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: my hairline. I've me and Lebron have the same hairline,

611
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: so I think I'm going to do that. That's my plan.

612
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this Gascon. It'll make me seem

613
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: like I'm more of an expert, you know, I'll do that.

614
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: I might even leave my glasses on. I probably won't.

615
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: I have very self conscious about that, but but it'll

616
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: make me seem more educated. Who is the who was

617
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,240

647
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: Big Bear, Santa barber or something like that would have

00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: would have been damn. Why couldn't we do a game

Speaker 1: I work in radio and I don't to pay for

653
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: anything in radio. What are you talking about? Wow? Alright,

654
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: moving on study this? Are you ready for studying this?

655
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: These your actual studies by actual mostly universities, and they

656
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the more interesting things

657
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: in life. I get a kick out of these things.

658
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: I know most of them are bullshit. So the way

659
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: this works is will give the study and then we

660
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: will decide whether or not we believe it or we

661
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: don't believe it, whether or not it's bullshit or it's legit.

662
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: And the first study up here involves basic human rights.

663
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: All right, this comes out of England and there's a

664
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: study done. According to this new study that internet access

665
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: is such a vital part of the human experience that

666
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: it is right there with food and shelter. It should

667
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 1: be a basic human right, according to a study published

668
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: by the University of Birmingham in England. How about that. Yeah,

669
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: this is study and this person that they determined if

670
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: only a certain percentage of the world's population has access

671
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 1: to the Internet, well others, particularly those in developing nations,

672
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: do not. It undermines these people's basic human rights, an

673
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: ability to live a minimal decent minimally decent live. Well,

674
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: shout out globalists. Yeah, I have to come on. I mean,

675
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: I love the Internet, but at times I wonder what

676
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: my life would be like without it. You know, maybe

677
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: it would be better, more positive. Yes, I I don't.

678
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: I don't have to log into Twitter and say, hey, asshole,

679
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: fuck you. The astros are great. I don't worry about that,

680
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying? Hashtag blessed. Uh here's a

681
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: selfie with me waking up in the morning and I

682
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: just poured myself a coffee. Life is great. Plus, you know,

683
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, spoiler alert. Most people on the internet are

684
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: not trying to become better people. They're trying to post

685
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: selfies of their ass to get a boyfriend on on Instagram.

686
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: Not that I'm complaining about that, but yeah, they're trying

687
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: to get paid exactly. So I mean, come on, now,

688
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: what what are we doing here? Right? It's it's it's ridiculous. Anyway,

689
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: what else do we have it? Study? This? These our

690
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: actual studies as songs for the heart. Listening to instrumental

691
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: music while driving eases cardiac stress? Do we believe this

692
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: or we do not believe this? Um? I think I

693
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: believe it, because, well, what do you listen to when

694
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: you go to the gym? I usually have the the TV.

695
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: I watched TV more than I don't usually listen to music.

696
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: I'm watching the TV. What do you what do you

697
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: listen to when you drive from Arizona to the studio

698
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: h Hodgepodge of podcast radio And then I'll listen to

699
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: some some music from time to time. Also I'll mix

700
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: it in, but it's just you know whatever. I've got

701
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: some songs on my phone usually listen to those off

702
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: I'll go on like Amazon Music because my wife's got

703
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime, and I'll put something in there. I'm always

704
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: curious to what people listen to when they're in the car,

705
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: especially here in l A or maybe New York. Um,

706
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys were all listened to like

707
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 1: fast music, Like I'll listen to house or trance or

708
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: something like that when I'm driving and it makes me

709
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: go faster obviously, or I listened to believe it or not.

710
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: Like movie soundtracks. I like movies soundtracks too, because your

711
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: life becomes the movie. Yeah, your life becomes away. So

712
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,879
Speaker 1: like when you play like classical music and stuff. It's

713
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: like because in movies when they when they have the

714
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: background music, it's often just classical. There's no vote, no

715
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: words or anything like. Yeah. Absolutely, So when I'm in

716
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: the gym, if I need to get in and out,

717
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: I listened to Batman Begins. I'll listen to that sound track.

718
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: You know in some of those streaming services they have whatever.

719
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 1: John william John Williams has put out almost all of

720
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: that stuff, right, Hans Zimmer. Hans Zimmer's got the yeah

721
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: so that I don't listen to Star Wars, but Top Gun,

722
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: the Rocky sound tracks, those are all good back in

723
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: the day. Right, yeah, oh yeah, those are great. It's

724
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: all listen to that stuff depending and then if when

725
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: you slow things down, I'll listen to a show down track,

726
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: just because the music mixture is a little bit different.

727
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: So I got a big blend though of music like

728
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: alternative rock. And look at you patting yourself on the

729
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: back with a humble brag about how you listen to

730
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: all kinds of music. Well, I just tried to have

731
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: a different environments than a man. You know, I don't

732
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: listen to podcast at the time. I gotta diagnose what

733
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: you're sucking up on on this podcast. So alright, A

734
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 1: lot of people, by the way, last week thought you

735
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 1: fucked up because at the end you put all these

736
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: bloopers on and people didn't know what they were and

737
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: they were like, wow, this is amateur hour. Yeah, and

738
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,320
Speaker 1: you said, and I quote, you gotta make sure you

739
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: explain this to our audience because they're a bunch of idiots.

740
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: End quote. I did did you explain it to the audience?

741
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: Are you playing open saying he it's blooper time? But

742
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: I think it's better that way that they don't know

743
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: what's going on. This is what's all about Yeah, okay,

744
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 1: I love the emails. You know, guess going he left

745
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: up the podcast man just gonna screwed it up. He

746
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: left all your bloopers in it. Okay, it was pretty

747
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: damn funny. Alright, I blame the yoga pants. Well who

748
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: I don't know any man that doesn't love yoga pants.

749
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: But apparently this is right, isn't. This comes out of

750
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: Portland or in Portland State University. You find that pollutants

751
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: known as micro plastics are being detected in oysters and

752
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: razors razor clams along the Oregon coast, and they've determined

753
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: this is great. Yoga pants are for fox sake, I know, right,

754
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: Come on, these people should be kicked out forget anyway,

755
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: kick him out of the country. The researchers claimed that

756
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: yoga pants, please jackets, and other sweat absorbing clothes frequently

757
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: warned by Pacific Northwesterners, are contributing to the local plastic problem. Yeah.

758
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 1: I don't plan on going to Portland, Oregon anytime soon,

759
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this much. If you are a

760
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 1: male or even a female, if you're wearing yoga pants,

761
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: it's usually in spots like l A, Orange County New York, Boston, UM, Florida,

762
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: like down South Beach, Tampa. Maybe, I mean, yeah, that

763
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: that does that does a body good. Well, it does

764
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: a body good when it's the right body. But I

765
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: think we've all seen situations where does not necessary you know,

766
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: not necessary. You know what I'm saying. Well, whatever makes

767
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: a woman feel sexy. Yeah, but you know you gotta Yeah,

768
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: there are limits, There are limits, there are, but you

769
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: know what, fuck it. Who cares you want it all for?

770
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I think it's one of the great inventions

771
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 1: right up there with the remote control and power. Yes,

772
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: yoga pants, one of the great inventions at right time. Alright,

773
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: so we have virtual pain, virtual competition. Uh, this is

774
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: this is great, so real injuries. Sports medicine, the according

775
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: to study, has to adapt to the dangers all wait

776
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: for it, E sports, yes, E sports. Coding to new study,

777
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: researchers say that excessive numbers of hours E sports athletes

778
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: typically spend practicing is taking a physical toll on them

779
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: carpal tunnel, resulting in a variety of physical, psychological and

780
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: uh met a ball like ailments. I can believe that.

781
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, so they're going through the whole thing here. Tournaments. Uh,

782
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: these things sell out and whatnot, and there big crowds,

783
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: very popular in the you know, people watching this stuff,

784
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: they love it. Were you a gamer back in the day, Uh? Yeah,

785
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: but I played like Duck Hunt, I mean that was

786
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: my Yeah, I played games. But these games are out

787
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: of but three. They said, the average e gamer, the

788
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: pro gamer plays three to ten hours every day, three

789
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: or ten hours every day, and they average five hundred

790
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: and six hundred in game action minutes per minute. Yeah,

791
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: I mean that. When I went to San Diego State,

792
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: we would spend about six seven hours a night playing

793
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: video games. But which was actually ingenious too, because the

794
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: more time we spent playing video games, the less time

795
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 1: we spent in the bar wasting money. So we would

796
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: play games all night and then around eleven or eleven thirty,

797
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 1: after done playing video games and maybe some dominoes, then

798
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: we'd go to the club or then we'd go to

799
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: the bar. And usually that time it's the best time

800
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: because you get the stragglers. You go when they come out,

801
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: and you know, it's like the inter and out service,

802
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: so you're set up. Yeah, it's pretty good, especially have

803
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: no standards, so you're good. Well, I have standards, it's

804
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: just that they're different levels at different times to day.

805
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: I understand. I mean you're closing time a four becomes

806
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 1: an eight. Well yeah, but in something California, usually four

807
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: here is usually like a ten in you know, like

808
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: Illinois or Iowa. Yeah, people listening in Iowa in Illinois stupid?

809
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: Who cares? They care? Yeah, but they know they know

810
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: what I saw when I was in Indianapolis years ago.

811
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: You just busted on women that wear yoga pants that

812
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: might not need to wear those. Well, yeah, but that

813
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 1: could be in anywhere. That could be in Miami or

814
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: l A or anywhere then, not to be just Iowa.

815
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: But I was in Indiana, Indiana, and they were beautiful

816
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: women in Indiana years Like I was walking, I just

817
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. This is crazy or yeah, Bloomington, No,

818
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: it is in Indianapolis. And there were a bunch of

819
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: colleges in Indianapolis. But I was like I, I you know,

820
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: I didn't. I've never been there before. I didn't know

821
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: what to expect us. I could be a bunch of

822
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: ugly people, but there they were good looking people. Did

823
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: you meet anybody, Uh No, of course not. I did not. I.

824
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: I did eat the most expensive meal I've ever eaten.

825
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 1: That was when the Lakers and Pacers played in the

826
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. We went to Stay No St. Elmo's Steakhouse

827
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: and my friend I had the surf and turf, but

828
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: I had to had a big steak. I even really

829
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: like steak that much, but I I this thing was

830
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: it was. The meal was almost like a grand It

831
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: was crazy. So how did you funk up the steak?

832
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: Did you put sauce on it? Oh? Catch up, pepper,

833
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 1: catching you a one steak, sauce, catchup? Whatever I could do?

834
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: Well done? Yah? Yeah. Yeah. It's always great when you're

835
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: going to a high end steak joint and you say, hey,

836
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: can you burn it? Burn and baby burn. They really

837
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: like that. They love that. You can't get enough of

838
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: that big the big fans of that. You should try it.

839
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's embarrassing, all right. Uh. This one came from

840
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: our friend in Iowa. Let me see here, we have

841
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: give the proper credit, because if we don't give the

842
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: proper predit gask on, people get very upset here. And

843
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: they Bill in Iowa set this one in. He wanted

844
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: us to talk about this and I love that guys

845
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: are now feeding his content for the fifth hour. Uh

846
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 1: it's like having a producer and uh it's pretty good.

847
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, here's the study and it's about sleep. And

848
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: this is by something I should use during a sleep

849
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: number commercial, but I'm not. I'm using it here and

850
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: uh it's like, I guess a warning sign to me

851
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: is people who sleep for fewer than five hours a

852
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: night have significantly shorter telomeres than those who get an

853
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: adequate seven hours of sleep. That's according to a new study.

854
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: Apparently this causes problems if you don't have a lot

855
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: of telemore's telomeres. I think I'm saying that right. And

856
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 1: uh so they've done a bunch of research showing how

857
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: consumers sleep trackers can shine a light on the cost

858
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 1: of not getting enough sleep. Now I do not get

859
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: enough sleep, probably five nights a week, and then two

860
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: nights I get plenty of sleep. I don't think it matters,

861
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's the life of doing overnight radio and

862
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: having stuff to do during the day. Are you is

863
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: your room straight black or do you have blinds that

864
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: have a little crack? No? No, no, no. We One

865
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: thing I've invested in is I have two layers of

866
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: blackout curtains. I have a window tint on the windows.

867
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: I have hotel high end, hotel level darkness. When I'm sleep,

868
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: I do. And that's one thing I'm very proud of.

869
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: It's like a dungeon in there. And it's the only

870
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 1: because I go to bed the sun's and when i'm

871
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: in I'm in near Vegas, apparently it's really hot. It's

872
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: boiling hot. So yeah, but it's also the fact that

873
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: you don't go to bed till like eight or nine o'clock.

874
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: When you get off at three, Well, I go to

875
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: the gym uh and then wind down after the gym,

876
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,440
Speaker 1: and I have some responsibilities that I have to do,

877
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: and then once that's done, I go to bed. You

878
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: have a very stressful life. It's self imposed stress. No,

879
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: it's all right. I mean I'm not. It's fine. I don't.

880
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't feel higher or anyway. When I do these

881
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: stupid podcasts, I feel tired because I get even less

882
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: sleep to get up to do this. Dude, these once

883
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: a fucking a week. Yeah, but that's a very busy,

884
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: very busy day, all right. I mean, you're you're gonna

885
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: send me over the edge. You remember last week you

886
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: sent me to the hospital gascon people pointing out that,

887
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: and they probed into the podcast and you asked me

888
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: about about you ever had an operation and I said, no,

889

Speaker 1: glued me back. They took the stitches or the staples

893
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: out and they put glue in there. So I'm literally

894
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: glued together. That is amazing. And you have the stitches

Speaker 1: open four times, four places to do the gall stone thing.

898
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: But the one in the top is the big one.

00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: These are listener messages posted on our Facebook page Ben

914
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: Send some questions in, and listeners have done that. The

915
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: first one comes from Dan and Kalamazoo. Now Calamazoo's in

916
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: my top ten city nameless with beaver Dam and Punk

917
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: Sitani and Rancho Kucamonga and in those places, So I

918
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: like Calamazoo. Dan and Kalamazoo writes, and he says, what

919
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,840
Speaker 1: is the longest you've got? This is appropriate? What is

920
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: the longest you've gone without sleep? He says, He says,

921
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: gag on too. I guess, well, I don't have an

922
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: exact number of hours, Dan, but I do know the

923
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,399
Speaker 1: longest I went with sleep is when I again for work.

924
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: I was working at the NBC Sports Network years ago,

925
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: and and they fly me out one week a month

926
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: to Stanford, Connecticut from l A. And I at that

927
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: time I was doing the weekend overnight show. So I

928
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: did the weekend overnight show on a Saturday into a Sunday. Uh,

929
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: and then I did the Blitz on Sunday afternoon. So

930
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: I didn't get much talking about two hours of sleep

931
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: on Saturday night, got up to do the Blitz and

932
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: then I rushed to l a X to take a

933
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: red eye into JFK. And then they took a car

934
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: service drove me to Connecticut to do the thing. And

935
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,800
Speaker 1: but the problem was on Monday, we had production meetings.

936
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: Pretty much as soon as I got to to the

937
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 1: that area, I had to go to a production meeting

938
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: for that night show. So I did not sleep, and uh,

939
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: I could not, and so I'm amazed I did not

940
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: fall asleep like Mike Francesa on on television. But I went,

941
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 1: I would say roughly by time I finally went to sleep.

942
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: I remember one of the times I didn't even go

943
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: to sleep that night because I had a room near

944
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,839
Speaker 1: an elevator, and then the elevator kept waking me up.

945
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 1: But I would say I went probably about sixty hours,

946
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: but not sixty over fifty, certainly over fifty hours without sleep.

947
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: What about you, Gasca, Well, I've had a couple of them,

948
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 1: but they're mostly Vegas benders, drug related. I understand. I

949
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: went thirty two hours twice in Vegas for a bachelor party. Um,

950
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: I actually went twenty eight hours at Fox Sports Radio

951
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: and uh, and I got rated out by a colleague

952
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: here too for doing that. I oddly enough, I worked

953
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: a day shift at Fox, went to UC rivers side

954
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: to call a basketball game that night, and then Dan

955
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: Bayer had called me up because, um, oddly enough, timing wise, uh,

956
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: Eddie and his wife. Eddie's wife had a medical emergency

957
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: and so he had a go to the hospital. And

958
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,959
Speaker 1: so Dan and asked me to fill in for for Eddie,

959
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: and so I filled it on your show. And the

960
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: show schedule is different from yours because yours a four

961
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: hour slot. Well, I have to work two shifts, so

962
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: it's two shows, which is nine hours. So at a

963
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: daytime to get my little make it, my little violin

964
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,160
Speaker 1: out at a daytime shift, I'll call the basketball game.

965
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: Came back here, and then the morning anchor she comes

966
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: in a little later than normal, which you're supposed to

967
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: be doing, like an hour early. She comes in like

968
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: just before you need to be on air. I had

969
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: to stay around the entire time. And when I got

970
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: off at six am, traffic had built up in downtown

971
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles and on the west side of town. SAW

972
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: was stuck an hour traffic getting back home, and so

973
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: I didn't fall asleep until like nine or ten. So

974
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: I was a full like twenty eight hours. By the

975
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: by the way, I just had an epiphany guest on

976
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: that I the longest I stayed away. It just happened

977
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 1: in April when I got flown back to do the

978
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: Boston w e I Show, and I had a listener

979
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 1: part and I had no time. I was doing two shows.

980
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: I was doing the night show in Boston, the overnight show,

981
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I love Boston. I was one of

982
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 1: my favorite cities. I love going around. Is a lot

983
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: to you know, check out history in Boston. And I

984
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 1: was there all week and I all I did was

985
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: go to from the hotel room to UH to UH

986
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 1: the radio station. And I was like, what the hell, man,

987
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, this is a great city.

988
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: So I had an evening, like a late afternoon flight

989
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: on Friday, but I did the overnight show Friday night,

990
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, Thursday night and Friday morning and then I

991
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:32,240
Speaker 1: just said, you know what, screw it, I'm gonna stay awake.

992
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go walk around Boston. And it was kind

993
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: of a chilly morning in April, and I'm gonna go

994
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: walk around. So I I did. I stayed awake, and

995
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: then I thought I was gonna be able to sleep

996
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 1: on the flight. I couldn't sleep on the flight. I

997
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: was too jammed in the flight. I couldn't fall asleep.

998
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: So I stayed awake. That was I think that was

999
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: probably the longest I stayed away. By the time I

1000
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: finally got to sleep late at night Friday in l

1001
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: a uh, that was probably well over fifty hours. But

1002
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: see Boston and New York. You can do that. Like

1003
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: I take red Eyes to New York. And part of

1004
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: the reason for that is when I arrive in New

1005
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: York with it's LaGuardia or JFK, I have Flint Newark once.

1006
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: People don't like New Ork, no, not at all, but

1007
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: you feel juiced up when you land in New York.

1008
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: There's just something about that city that never sleeps. You're

1009
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: just you were just juiced up. You can just do whatever,

1010
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: and obviously you can walk around and eat and drink

1011
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: whatever at any time of the day. Of course out

1012
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: here in the West Coast. You can do that in

1013
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. But yeah, it's a good reason. Boston's a

1014
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: really fun city to be in. No matter. I love

1015
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: Boston and they've been very good to me. The people

1016
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: of Boston been cool and uh, we have the same attitude.

1017
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,080
Speaker 1: We're all assholes, so they're called they call them massholes,

1018
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,320
Speaker 1: but I'm just an assholes. Oh yeah, to do it.

1019
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: I love their attitude. Do you still like them after

1020
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: they fired you? They didn't fired me. I was forced

1021
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: to leave, idiot because we are shows now on the

1022
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: Sports Hub and amazingly, they will not let us work

1023
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: on both radio stations in Boston. There's apparently compete clause

1024
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: in these contracts that are beyond my pay grade and

1025
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: all that. But but but yeah, the people of Boston

1026
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: pretty pretty. I love to find when I did that

1027
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 1: the Red Sox postgame, Uh that two years I was

1028
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: doing it, and the Red Sox would be like a

1029
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: streak of like nine wins in twelve games and people

1030
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: would be like that, dad fucking good trade. Jackie Bradley,

1031
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: that guy can't be had. Dual m vps that year.

1032
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 1: J d. Martinez and Mookie Batts. Yeah, they did that

1033
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: when he won the World Series. Apparently they were who

1034
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 1: knows if they were begging on drums like the Astros.

1035
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure those videos will likely come out at some point.

1036
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what they were doing, but the But anyway,

1037
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: all right, moving on, it is in the bag. Will

1038
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: do a few more of these, and I know we

1039
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,920
Speaker 1: also have for your dancing and dining pleasure we have.

1040
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: Don't stick to sports. Glenn says, when since when is

1041
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:43,360
Speaker 1: weed Man hippie allowed back on the show? Well, Glenn,

1042
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,800
Speaker 1: real quick for that, you missed the show when I

1043
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,160
Speaker 1: came back from the hospital. While I was in the hospital,

1044
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: weed Man apologized. He sent me an email apologizing for

1045
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: his actions. But is this was this apology coming because

1046
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: he felt like he was giving you last rights? Probably,

1047
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: but he apologized and then he's like he for well,

1048
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,640
Speaker 1: I have unlike you, I have empathy. But he apologized.

1049
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: I was like, I have to do with anything. I

1050
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: don't know. He's been listening the whole time. Anyway, he

1051
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: just doesn't call in and it's killing him. They're not

1052
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,919
Speaker 1: call in. But did you did you have an epiphany? Though?

1053
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: Like I feel like you should start abolishing some callers,

1054
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: like like Chris and Houston, like that guy should never

1055
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: be allowed to call your show again after he tucktailed

1056
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: and ran from the World Series. Yeah, and like Chris is,

1057
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,280
Speaker 1: so he's such a cool a drinker. Like this Astro

1058
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: scandal came out this week. There was a video that

1059
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: popped up of them blatantly banging a trash can when

1060
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 1: there was a breaking ball, and uh, it was like, yeah, yeah, anyway,

1061
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: and so I put the video Chris says, oh it

1062
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,439
Speaker 1: was edited video. You can't even hear it, and then

1063
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 1: hand the god guest And there's like seven hundred videos

1064
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: that are out now in different games in including the

1065
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: World Series, of the Astros either using banging a trash

1066
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: can or or a whistle. It's hilarious. Chris like, well,

1067
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: I was editing. It was one time. I don't think

1068
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: that you know, they didn't do it in the World

1069
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: the World Series. Even Cooper Loop was like, but there's

1070
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: no video of them in the World Series doing it.

1071
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,720
Speaker 1: Then the next day the video showed up. There you go, wonderful.

1072
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: Can we be a party to a class actual lawsuit?

1073
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: Gasc on for for get get some money out of that.

1074
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna get some things happening in social media, Like

1075
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: social media is gonna find out the World Series in

1076
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen was should be played under protest

1077
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: because the Astros cheated, And somehow, some way Twitter is

1078
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: gonna find out who really killed Jeffrey Epstein. Well, they're trying.

1079
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: I got a prediction somebody's gonna put video out saying

1080
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers also cheated in the World Series. That's

1081
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: my prediction that that someone will come up with some

1082
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 1: video of something and clinch to the Dodgers were doing

1083
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: it too. Uh. Well, maybe I'm wrong, but I have

1084
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: a feeling that somebody in the Astros organization is gonna

1085
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: try to come back with that. Let's see Derek the

1086
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: E sports guy in Boston from Boston's in l A. Now,

1087
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: this guy is a big E sports star. What kind

1088
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: of game is playing? I forget the name of the game.

1089
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: But he works. He They moved him to l A

1090
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 1: to work in a house and just practice his craft

1091
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: of playing video games. I've been trying. He's a young guy.

1092
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 1: How great is this? This guy said he's making more

1093
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 1: money than both of us combined. He's like a teenager

1094
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,319
Speaker 1: guy or his early twenties. What it made me feel

1095
00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: better about myself anyway, says He says, do you consider

1096
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: do you guys consider professional video games as a sport? Uh?

1097
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: If not? Why I do not think of it as

1098
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: a sport because I think generally I think of it

1099
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 1: as you have to have some physical act. It's mentally challenging,

1100
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: but I don't consider it, Like my traditional definition of

1101
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 1: sport is an activity involving physical exertion. What do you

1102
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: think golf is a sport? I didn't until I played

1103
00:55:57,719 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: the other day and I felt pain all over my

1104
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: body when we got back the next day. Do you

1105
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: think IndyCar or NASCAR drivers are athletes? No, not really,

1106
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: But the skill I mean, see, that's what there's gotta

1107
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: be like a It's it's different because to me, sport

1108
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: is physical recreations, physical activity. These things I feel are

1109
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: mostly mental. Now. It is if you're in a NASCAR

1110
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: in a stock car and you're going around for five

1111
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 1: hours in a circle, it is a wear and tear

1112
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: in your body more than east A sports all about

1113
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: the mental part. You have to have laser like focusing.

1114
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:37,240
Speaker 1: They've gotta be doing those, hopefully not those opiates handation.

1115
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 1: I think east sports, I think they're athletes. It's like poker,

1116
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: it's like chess, it's like being in a car. Like

1117
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: you're using your mind, you're using some physicals. I'm an athlete.

1118
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: I drive to work. I'm an athlete. By your definition,

1119
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm an athlete. Doing this is mentally challenging. I have

1120
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,160
Speaker 1: to think of the next word I'm going to say,

1121
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,319
Speaker 1: so that is also, I'm an athlete when I'm doing

1122
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm a broadcast athlete. So you think like something you

1123
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: think a c P as an athlete, Well, you're a definition. Yes,

1124
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: it's a physical activity in a competitive nature. Driving is competitive.

1125
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: Talk radio's competitive. Podcasting is competitive. Well you're married. Do

1126
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: you think you're an athlete because you have sex? Uh? Yes,

1127
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: Well my wife's more of an athlete than I am. Yes,

1128
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: but ump bump, all right, Uh, moving on. You're just

1129
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: saying that, guest because you want to be a play

1130
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: by play guy for the sports I know I you

1131
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: aw ulterior motives. I know what you're up. Well we

1132
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: can do this together, though, Yeah, i'd be I would

1133
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: totally do that. I would totally be up the sports

1134
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: play by play guy would be fun a good time.

1135
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: And it's funny you say that. I actually met someone

1136
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: like high ranking in the East sports world a couple

1137
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He came to one of my high

1138
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: school games for Fox. It turned out his dad. I

1139
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: didn't know this until I found out through a couple

1140
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: of buddies that were there. His dad was one of

1141
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: the original creators of Monday Night Football. Wow. Really, Yes,

1142
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: what was his dad's name? I can tell you that

1143
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: off here. Yeah, I can tell you that. You know,

1144
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: in my early days, and since we're name dropping, when

1145
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: I worked, a name dropped while you were trying to

1146
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: you were there's a humble brad. You'd admit it was

1147
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: a humble brad. I didn't. I didn't. You know, I

1148
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: didn't get anything. Yeah, but you were looking for some

1149
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: credit for that, you know, you you were doing. You

1150
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: didn't fully open up the can of worms, but you

1151
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: were looking for some credit. Always. No. But when I

1152
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: first started in radio in San Diego, it was Steve

1153
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: Hartman was doing a show with Chet Forte, who was

1154
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: the Monday Night Football like I think it was the

1155
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: director of producer of Monday Night Football. And uh, it

1156
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: was like the highest paid TV executive and then lost

1157
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: everything gambling, lost everything gambling on sports. It all went away.

1158
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: And he was like a college basketball player in New

1159
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: York back in the day and a good guy, nice guy.

1160
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: I passed away a few years back. But anyway, uh,

1161
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: here's one Oh. This is from Iowa Sam in Los Angeles,

1162
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: by the way of Iowa City, I like one of

1163
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: our colleagues, and a question. He says, any foods that

1164
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: you are prohibited from eating now that your gallbladder has

1165
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 1: been removed. That's actually a good question, Iowa Sam, and

1166
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: thank you for listening and to appreciate your work for

1167
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: the company. You're jolly good. But but no, I I

1168
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 1: wasn't really given any restrictions. I was told that now

1169
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: that I don't have my gall bladder, let when I

1170
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: eat spicy foods, which I have not done yet, or

1171
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: really greasy foods, It's gonna be a poop fest right away.

1172
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: I'll be on the shifter within like half an hour.

1173
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon has had this happen to him. He had

1174
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 1: his gall bladder out, although it was not as messed

1175
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: up as mind, and he has said that that is

1176
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: the case that you eat greasy food. It's a problem,

1177
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: so I have. I've tried to change my diet a

1178
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh, we'll see if I stick to it.

1179
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: More rice, chicken, that kind of stuff, not spicy. I

1180
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: used to eat tacos and burritos all the time and

1181
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: nacho losing. I'm not gonna do that as much, but

Speaker 1: out of out of whack they come barking. Yeah, the

1254
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: way I will answer the question, though, Michael in Ohio

1255
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: is I love the Malamlicia. They've been great, very supportive,

1256
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, as long as they don't cross the line

1257
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: where they end up getting arrested and uh, fan of

1258
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: the Ben Maller Show arrested for pooping in the streets.

1259
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't need that, you know, you know what I'm saying.

1260
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Other than that, I'm good. Uh. Let's see. Uh oh,

1261
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Richard said, I don't have a question, but I just

1262
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: sending you guys love from Kenosha, Wisconsin. Those nice Wisconsin people.

1263
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: So you got you got Wisconsin, you got Kalamazoo, Seattle,

1264
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 1: We're all Derek the sports guy from Boston, We're all

1265
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: over the place. Let's see, here's one. How much money

1266
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,080
Speaker 1: would it take for you to spend one whole winter

1267
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: in Canada where temperatures can reach minus for this from

1268
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Mark the load management expert listening to us in Ottawa. Well, see,

1269
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 1: that's got to depend on where you're at, because if

1270
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: you're up north, like in Edmonton, then you're probably asking

1271
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 1: for a little bit more than and let's say, if

1272
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: you were in Vancouver or Calgary or Winnipeg, or Toronto

1273
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: or Toronto. Toronto is awesome though, like you'll warm yourself

1274
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: no matter what. In Montreal, Yeah, I mean the way

1275
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: I look at it. I've I have been offered jobs

1276
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 1: in Boston, you know I can't. I have been because

1277
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: of my life situation. I couldn't take them. But I

1278
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 1: would live in Boston, where it gets pretty nasty in

1279
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 1: the winter time. I think I could be fine. I

1280
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: don't go out much anyway, you know, I think I'd

1281
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: be all right as long as I had a nice heater. Uh.

1282
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: Look at people live in Minnesota. They've got tunnels and

1283
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: stuff in Minnesota. They live their life fine that the

1284
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: weather is very harsh there. Uh, And so I think

1285
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: it would be fine. I would. I wouldn't have a

1286
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: problem with it as long as that WiFi because it's

1287
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,040
Speaker 1: a it's a right of life. And a food shelter

1288
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: and a heater. You live anywhere, who cares. I've been

1289
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: several people have recommended that I visit Canada. Uh. They

1290
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: say Vancouver, the Vancouver Islands, Toronto, Montreal, and they also

1291
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: said even as a non sports event, they recommend they

1292
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: highly recommend going to the Calgary Stampede. Yeah, they say

1293
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: millionaires and billionaires like these oil tycoons go there like

1294
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: once a year. In fact, when I went to grad

1295
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: school in Boston, I had two classmates. They were both

1296
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: bartenders down in Florida. They would get flown to the

1297
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Calgary Stampede and clear ten grand in a weekend. Wow,

1298
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,920
Speaker 1: pretty good. But they said, there's nothing like the ten

1299
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: grand in the year on this podcast. That would be nice. Listen,

1300
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,280
Speaker 1: you might make more money tagging along with me on

1301
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: on some television. Well you just wait. You're gonna be

1302
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: blown away by the amount of sports cliche goodness does

1303
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:20,040
Speaker 1: that I provide. It is going to be amazing. It's

1304
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna be a life changing experience. I I you, I

1305
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: don't know who you worked with. I'm sure you worked

01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: with some former players or whatever. Any house, Reggie, So

1307
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,120
Speaker 1: you just asked who I've worked with? Name dropper Gascon.

01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: But listen, you're connected to some TV executives, so you

01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: gotta understand Gascon. I I know every cliche in football.

1310
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: I have been doing this for a very long time.

1311
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 1: You know, from ground in pound to dink and dunk

1312
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 1: uh to remedial passing game. You know anything Northwest, southeast whatever.

1319
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,080

1320
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: is a playoff game. So I can't Centennial's gotta watch

Speaker 1: pails are anymore. Wow, Wow, unbelievable. Can I Can I

1326
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: say that Jay Sarah might be tanking for a higher

1327
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:42,040
Speaker 1: draft pick and I say that, but see, you're connected

1328
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 1: to some TV executives, so I would I would strongly

1329
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: encourage you to send this out after we're done. Oh,

1330

1336
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: invite into the stupid high school football games. Much like radio,

Speaker 1: ward is the leadman's medium television as a broadcasting team.

1338
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: It's not my medium either as a one. It's the

1345
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: know because they're watching the game. How great? Is that great?

1346
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: So you mail it in on podcasts like you did

1347
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 1: last week and they're gonna tank this game? Well no,

Speaker 1: sent me the depth chart for this game and I

1358
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: looked at that, I said, hell, look, guesscon's funny. He's

1359
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 1: sending in the funny names here to goof with me.

1360
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: He wanted me to say the quarterbacks named General Booty

1361
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 1: on the air. And then I looked it up and

1362
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 1: the kids like, he's legit, his dad played college football

1363
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 1: or I believe, and he's the John David Booty. This

1364
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: goes I think this goes right to the food chain.

1365
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Amongst the best names in quarterback history. That goes like

1366
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 1: it's comparison to Major Apple White from Texas. Yeah, it's

1367
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: one of the great sports names. Now, I think the

1368
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: greatest sports name of all time is Chubby Cox, which

1369
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: is which is Kobe Bryant's uncle. But fair Hooker was

1370
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: a great name for the Cleveland Browns back in the day.

1371
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 1: And everyone wants a fair hooker. Everyone wants a fair

1372
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 1: hooker for sure. Uh yeah, I'm happy that that doing

1373
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: a high school game has brought your maturity level down

1374
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: to a teenager. It's it's fascinating. That's it's great. That's

1375
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: what I'm here. All right, moving on. I think that's enough.

Speaker 1: to that one. In fact, that one the time last

1409

1411
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,960

1416
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: know if it's as bad as what a burger in Arizona,

1417
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: but it's pretty freaking bad. You know, it's a white

01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: castle in the in Vegas? Is there? It's the closest

1419
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,719
Speaker 1: one to l A. I believe there's a white castle

1420
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,160

01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,720
Speaker 1: only you're but you're still frugal with your money, Like

1505
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: there's no reason to joy a little bit. It was

1506
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 1: a special occasion. You're in Vegas, you can splurge a

1507
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh. I. I bring that up because I

1508
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: can't even go out to dinner with you because I

1509
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: feel like you're gonna order the most expensive. You're the

1510
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,599
Speaker 1: dick that orders the most expensive, okay, or the record

1511
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: The last time we did go to dinner. It was

1512
01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: your idea. We went to the west side of town.

1513
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,360
Speaker 1: We went to a bougie Mexican spot. That was not

1514
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: my idea, that was yours. Yeah, but I I ordered

1515
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: here's the move. I actually ordered less food than I

1516
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: wanted because I knew how expensive it was, and I

1517
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: ordered the smallish dish amongst us four. I paid for

1518
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:05,519
Speaker 1: that meal, by the way, So you don't get it.

1519
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 1: My beard was more than the tacos. I maade, Well,

1520
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 1: you should have gotten a ticket because you parked illegally.

1521
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:13,880
Speaker 1: And I saved you that money because we told you

1522
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 1: you got to move the car. Otherwise you would have

1523
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: gotten a ticket. So I really I paid you even

1524
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 1: more money. It's like an extra hundred bucks on a

1525
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: parking take. Well, how about this. There's a Japanese chef

1526
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 1: forty two years of age. Um. He owns a restaurant

1527
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 1: called the Butcher's Kitchen. Restaurant that sounds like my kind

1528
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 1: of place, The Butcher's Kitchen. He's got a wagoose style

1529
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: sandwich ben his trademark eighty five dollars for a save.

1530
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 1: How big is Sam? But it's the size of your arm. No,

1531
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 1: it's it's not big at all. But it's it's probably

1532
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:53,760
Speaker 1: the size of your fist and you don't have a

1533
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: big fast my headphones came out, Yes, guy, and I apologize,

1534
01:18:57,920 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: But what did you say. I wasn't listening, was like

1535
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: the size of your fist, the size of your fist.

1536
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,680
Speaker 1: I definitely do not need the do not need that

1537
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 1: my life at all. Yeah. So yeah, last one, and

1538
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,559
Speaker 1: this is a personal story. So last week, for all

1539
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,320
Speaker 1: intensive purposes, you were you felt like you were pushed

1540
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: through the brink of annihilation. Correct. There were a couple

1541
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 1: of points where I thought that I was in really bad,

1542
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 1: bad shape. Yes, I had a incident that was making

1543
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 1: me feel the same way. Uh. So I went to

1544
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 1: an event and on the west side of town. Did

1545
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: you watch some of your work and you started feeling nausea? No? No,

1546
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: So it's for a clothing line. They wanted me and

1547
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: a couple other guys to work at this gym called

1548
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: the dog Pound um in West Hollywood, our senior halls. Yeah,

1549
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: something like that. That for an outdated reference. So we

1550
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: have the clothing line. Came out with a pose work

1551
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: at a tire. We worked out, was a great night.

1552
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Had some Mexican food after and I'm driving on the

1553
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:02,160
Speaker 1: one Tent South going home ben Usually at that time

1554
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 1: of the day, people weren't usually drunk driving, but it

1555
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:06,640
Speaker 1: was around eight or nine o'clock and I noticed this

1556
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:08,960
Speaker 1: car in front of me, and he was going in

1557
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 1: and out of lanes. Well, he actually drove somebody off

1558
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: the road. And I'm a huge honker, but in this instance,

1559
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't honking. I was flashing my brightes because I

1560
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: figured like either he wasn't paying attention or he was intoxicated,

1561
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,560
Speaker 1: so he needed to obviously drive in the middle of

1562
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: the lane. Well, this dude jammed on his brakes, got

1563
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: next to me, and then as soon as I passed

1564
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: him by, he got behind me and started flashing his

1565
01:20:35,000 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 1: brights and so, NATCHI uh get a little hot that

1566
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 1: someone's trying to show me up. I'm on the road.

1567
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: I jammed on my brakes, start flashing my brakes. He

1568
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:50,560
Speaker 1: pulls up alongside me, and passenger window rolls down and

1569
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: outcomes this little black piece of metal, and so I

1570
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 1: hit the brakes and I was like, holy sh it.

1571
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,759
Speaker 1: So one Tent South when it exits into the Harbor

1572
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:06,639
Speaker 1: area San Pedro, if you exit one street called Channel

1573
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: the Harbor division of the L A p D S

1574
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: right there. I knew it, so I jammed on the

1575
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: brakes and as soon as he starts hitting the brakes

1576
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: to pull it next to me, I hit the gas

1577
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: and his window rolls down all the way and he

1578
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 1: points out a fucking gun. It was a straight gun.

1579
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't a big one. It was probably smaller than

1580
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,720
Speaker 1: a glock, so I don't know what it was, but alertly,

1581
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 1: I went right off onto the next off ramp. Now

1582
01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: are you are you like China duck? Yeah, yeah, you

1583
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: have to duck. Yeah, side ducked, but I kept my

1584
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 1: I knew exactly where I was going, so I knew

1585
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 1: the road really well. So as soon as I got off,

1586
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 1: I made the U turn. He didn't follow me because

1587
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,560
Speaker 1: he had to go to the next exit, which was

1588
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: Gaffy Street. But part of the reason when people say

1589
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: you're going to Pedro, like that's where the ghetto meets

1590
01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 1: the sea, and yeah, I was like a fast and

1591
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: furious movies. Yeah, I wasn't scared, but the adrenaline level

1592
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 1: of shot up really quick. And then not until like

1593
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: ten fifteen minutes after I realized, oh, funk. Someone pulled

1594
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,479
Speaker 1: a gun out on me as well, I've never had

1595
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:14,840
Speaker 1: that happened. I've never had a gun pulled on me.

1596
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:18,400
Speaker 1: So can you've you've beaten me? Congratulations. I have had

1597
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: driving overnight when I come home from the show. I've

1598
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:24,600
Speaker 1: had three times a wrong way driver was coming at me,

1599
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 1: and that is that's scary, but not as I don't

1600
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: think as scary as a gun. Yeah, would make a

1601
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:31,799
Speaker 1: scary as a gun. See, since we've started this podcast,

1602
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: we've had a windshield blown out, We've had you get

1603
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: hit in a parking lot, burned my tongue eating pizza,

1604
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: bit my tongue, and I had a lisp like Lou

1605
01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: Holtz for a week. Yeah, you've gone to the infirmary

1606
01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 1: with your gall stones and I've had a gun flown

1607
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: at me. So so things are going well, it's uh,

1608
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna get Vin Diesel in here and Dwayne Johnson

1609
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: for you. We'll interview them about that. I think we

1610
01:22:55,320 --> 01:23:00,080
Speaker 1: we can't get Paul Walker unfortunately, he's not available. Like, like,

1611
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: what would make you feel like you're okay to throw

1612
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:06,000
Speaker 1: that line out there? Like the guy fucking died in

1613
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 1: a car accident a few years, but he burned in

1614
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,120
Speaker 1: a car accident. I don't know how. I don't understand

1615
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 1: six years man, at the time, five years is in?

1616
01:23:14,840 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: After five years, it's open season. By the way, if

1617
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,960
Speaker 1: I died last week, you would have done a stand

1618
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: up act about me, I mean, what are you talking about?

1619
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 1: It would have called your wife and I would have asked, Hey,

1620
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 1: was I in the will? Yeah? Yeah, exactly right? Is that?

1621
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Are you done? I don't know why you would have

1622
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 1: felt good to throw a Paul Walker reference out there. Well,

1623
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: I talked about Fast in The Furious and that was

1624
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 1: his his vehicle. Actually, that wasn't his vehicle. He was

1625
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 1: a different vehicle that he was in when he wasn't

1626
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: he in a Ferrari? I don't remember. I don't. I

1627
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 1: remember the night that he died. Everyone was freaking out,

1628
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 1: but I don't remember the details much about it. I also,

1629
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: was it like that comedian Kevin Hart that he almost

1630
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: died on a car accident like last year? Right? That's right? Yeah?

1631
