Haley, what did you do this week? I 87 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: know where there were some exciting things going on in 88 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: your neck of the woods. Yes, so we just completed 89 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: our first family draft, which was awesome and fun and 90 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: a great experience just to be able to spend it 91 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: with my grandparents and being in that same room and 92 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: helping them pick their players. So it was exciting. We 93 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: weren't sure who we were going to get, and the 94 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: fact that we had one of our best drafts. It 95 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: was definitely one to remember. Was the room. Yeah, everybody's 96 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: great thrilled with the draft picks. You know, we always 97 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: have such critics and this was right. It was. It 98 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: was fun to watch, and I also loved the live 99 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: show with Jamie Foxx and DeMarcus Ware That was super 100 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: cool too. Was the was the room? Obviously we don't 101 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: get to see anything beyond what was broadcast, but is 102 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: the room tense? Is it celebratory? What are some of 103 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: those moments that happened in between picks? So, I mean, 104 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it was exciting. When we 105 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: got our first pick, A lot of people didn't think 106 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: we would be picking up Ceedee Lamb for the fact 107 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: that we didn't think you would fall to seventeenth place, 108 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: so a lot of it was exciting. Shy being my 109 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: brother definitely took a huge had a huge pool in 110 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: that he just between the discussions on who they were 111 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: going to pick, and he stepped his foot forward and 112 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: told him, hey, we need this guy. Why we have 113 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: them because I think we can pick up our next 114 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: player following round. So that was exciting to see him 115 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: come forward. We all had a roll in it between 116 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, taking pictures, answering phones, making sure they're 117 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: calling the right people. So it definitely was all hands 118 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: on deck during like right before we were about to pick, 119 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: and then right when he finished and picked. It was excitements. 120 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: Everyone's cheering because it's kind of like after that first 121 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,559 Speaker 1: first day or kind of just relaxing and just waiting 122 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: to see what else does in between each pig. It 123 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: was very exciting to watch, and it really, I mean, 124 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: it's it's just what we it's just what the doctor ordered, 125 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: pardon the pun, to get us all ready for the season, 126 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: even though there's still some uncertainty on when and where. 127 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: It was awesome to be re energized, and honestly too, 128 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: I think just for people to get to enjoy the 129 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: sport again. We've just had nothing but but such intense 130 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: news stories. You know, ever think light at the end 131 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: of the right it's the light at the end of 132 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: the tunnel. It's like you finally have your draft and 133 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: now we're just waiting to play and hopefully it's just 134 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: ride around the corner. Well, I had a less impressive week, probably, 135 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: but I did learn some new things. I have taken 136 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: up faux gardening. I use gardening very lightly, but I 137 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: m planted flowers and I painted, y'all, I painted pieces 138 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: of furniture and that's a first ever in my lifetime. Yes, 139 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: it is hammered metal. I had the choices of amber, 140 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: bronze or black, and I had like eight cans of 141 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: test paint, and I had to wait. First of power washed, 142 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: I sent you go to a video I have a 143 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: power washed. I power washed my entire back yard and 144 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: then I painted, and then I reached a new level 145 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: of aging. Perhaps I bought. I bought battle yard art. 146 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: I bought a blue heron. Did you see the picture? 147 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: I called Samantha, my daughter, and I said, Samantha, I 148 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: am just one step away from I'm one piece away 149 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: from a peak flamingo in the front yard. And you know, 150 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: you know your mother has gone quarantine crazy because I 151 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: bought yard art. But I was actually kind of proud. 152 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: She um, it's a girl I've decided, and she's called 153 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: wing Wings Up, and she's out back and she's kind 154 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: of if you want it to be, it's it's a 155 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: lifting up of spirit. I put her in my backyard, Judy, 156 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: you know where I have my Jesus chairs and I 157 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: go out my devotional so she's out there. But then 158 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: the highlight was then I had my Amazon solar powered spotlights, 159 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, this isn't good enough. Let 160 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: me put spotlights on her for nighttime, and one wasn't enough, 161 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: so now she has two spotlights. So I have a 162 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: metal blue heron bird. I called her blue Angel, and 163 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: she has two spotlights on her and it's called wings up, 164 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: and she's she's back there to lift up spirits.

So tell us a little bit about your 223 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: journey with trying out for the Cowboys, and then we 224 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: want to talk to you about about your first career totally. 225 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: So I was living in South Florida and I had 226 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: to her two seasons in the NFL, and I just 227 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: I was at the point where I said, I just 228 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: want to go for the best. If I've done this 229 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: for two seasons, I really want to see if I 230 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: can make it. And I kind of gave up my 231 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: whole life here. I took a travel position there for 232 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: thirteen weeks right if he ended the thirteen weeks. That 233 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: following week was auditions. So I moved and I just 234 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: dove into every prep class that I could, try to 235 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: meet as many people as I could to get familiar, 236 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, kind of with audition process and DCC as 237 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: a whole, and the Dallas Cowboys and and everything. So 238 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: I moved and dove right into it. My travel position 239 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: was at the hospital right next door to the stadium, 240 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: So it was really cool and really served. It's kind 241 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: of like a very visual motivation. Every time I went 242 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: to work, I was overlooking and um overlooking the stadium 243 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: and our breakroom kind of we're in the in the hallway, 244 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: UM has just this really really cool perfect view. So 245 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: days night to anything, the stadium was just lit up, 246 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: and it was just a really cool kind of visual 247 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: motivation for me during the During that time and since 248 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: since chairing. You're now married, congratulation and you guys have 249 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: relocated now you're back in Fort Lauderdale. Yeah, and then 250 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: Court Lauderdale. Um, I moved uh this past fall and 251 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: we got married in January, and this is it's a 252 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: very um different first you know, newly wed time here 253 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: than we anticipated. But it's been amazing and we're loving it. 254 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: So it's a whole new life, but it's awesome. Well, 255 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: now that you mentioned that, I guess this is not 256 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: your typical honeymoon phase of a marriage. I saw I 257 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: saw a picture have you guys sitting out in a 258 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: parking lot. It looked like you were tailgating and distancing 259 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: as well. What was that all about? So we actually 260 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: were quarantined separately for about three weeks. Wow. Yeah, so 261 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: as nearly as that was pretty tough. You know, we 262 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: long to be together and lived together and be in 263 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the same place. So, um, several weeks ago, my mom 264 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: had a cardiac event. Um. She she passed out when 265 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: she was riding, um like a stationary bike, a peloton bike, 266 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 1: and she fell off and my dad found her unconscious. 267 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: He began CPR, totally saved her life. He's like the 268 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: hero and got her to the hospital and she had 269 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: several ninety nine percent blockages in her heart. So um, 270 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: they sedge her schedule her for open heart surgery. So 271 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: it's been really interesting as a nurse during this crazy 272 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: time and then um, you know, kind of taking it 273 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: from from the family and the patient's side. So it's 274 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: been really interesting. But during that time, I went over 275 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: to where they live on the other side of this 276 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: state in Florida, UM to care for her, and so 277 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: my husband and I were quarantined separately, um while I 278 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: was caring for her. But while she was in the hospital, 279 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: you could not Yeah, that was that was the whole thing. 280 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: So um when when my dad, um, you know, saved 281 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: her life, started CPR and the paramedics came and took her. 282 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: That was the last time we were able to see her. 283 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: So UM, you know, no visitors are allowed in the 284 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: hospital if everything that's going on with COVID and UM. 285 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: So he you know, gave her a hug and we 286 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: set our prayers and she was gone, and UM, so 287 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: wed my dad and I he was you know, stayed 288 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: outside the hospital and set her from her room and 289 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: she would come to the window when she could and 290 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: those kinds of things. So my dad actually slept in 291 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: separate cars because he and I were quarantined separately outside 292 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: the hospital, and the night of her surgery so that 293 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: we could be close to her. So UM, you know, 294 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: we stayed outside and could kind of look out to 295 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: where where she was and where she thought she would be, UM, 296 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: just to be close and support her. And then um 297 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: for the next week after that, she was impatient, so 298 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: we were, you know, doing our best to be there 299 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: for her from the outside. UM. And then you know, 300 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: she got to she got to come home. So but 301 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: it's been a very um, eye opening experience of what 302 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: this is like from the other side. You know, when 303 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: you're when you're a nurse caring for patients, UM, with 304 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 1: everything that's going on. It's it's very eye opening. When 305 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 1: you see it from the other side. You're you're already 306 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: a compassionate person. I've witnessed that you really care about people. 307 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: But I bet even being a nurse, seeing it from 308 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 1: that side, it's gonna make you realize those patient family 309 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: interactions how important they are. Just the stories we've heard 310 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: about nurses face timing families for the patients, I mean 311 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 1: that that really makes a big difference, absolutely, and that's 312 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: been I think one of the most heartbreaking, um and 313 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: like you said, eye opening things during this whole experience 314 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: is you know, I in the working I work and 315 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: I see you stepped down unit. And so there are 316 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: many patients that we've had to you know, we've seen 317 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: these symptoms and that we go and retest them, and um, 318 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, right at the beginning of this, when it 319 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: started to be that no visitors could come for the 320 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: COVID patients, you know, having to look at those family 321 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 1: members and say I'm you know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 322 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: This is you know, it breaks your heart. And then 323 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: to be on the other side of that when the 324 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: nurse is looking at you saying I know that I 325 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: know that you want to see your mom but you 326 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: just can't.

Nicole cheered for the Cowboys in ninety 408 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: three and ninety four, right, Nicole, So you you're correct. 409 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: You're one of our Super Bowl gals, and you cheered 410 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: in some of my earliest years as director. And you know, 411 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: you know what I remember the most about you is, 412 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: I'll never forget Nicole. Was I guess you were in 413 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: your undergrad at the time, right, correct, at Abilene Christian. 414 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: So I remember we at Adeline Christian my first year 415 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: and then I transferred to a school in Dallas so 416 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: I could cheer. So when Nicole, Judy, do you remember 417 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: we would have late night training camp and then Nicole 418 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: would get in her car and she'd be driving back 419 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: to college to Adelene every year. Yes, I can't believe, Nicole, 420 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: looking back on this, that you were able to do that, 421 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: but you did how you did it, and then take 422 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: us from there. You cheered for the Cowboys and we've 423 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: got pictures that you know. It just brought back memories 424 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: when I saw you a swimsuit cover girl chaired in 425 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the nineties. So you went to the Super Bowl in 426 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: Atlanta when we played the Bills. You're one of the 427 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: one of the rare ones right now, and then you 428 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: went on to medical school, so help us catch up 429 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: with your life now when you went where to go 430 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: to medical school? And so when I was cheering, I 431 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: transferred to the University of Dallas and finished up as 432 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: a biochemistry major there and graduated a few years later. 433 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 1: After I finished cheering, I went to medical school at 434 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. 435 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: I med school is four years here in the United States. 436 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: After that, I did a urology residency at Northwestern in Chicago. 437 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: So for a surgical residency it's usually a very long process, 438 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: so four years of college, four years of medical school, 439 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: six years of residency, and then from there two more 440 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: years to become a pediatric urologist. So currently all I 441 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: do is operate on the most common birth effect that 442 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: you have almost certainly never heard of. So every single day, 443 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 1: about every ninety seconds, a boy is born with something 444 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: called hyperspadius, which is where their urinary channel their people 445 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: opens in the wrong spot under on the undersurface of 446 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: the penis. And so I started my practice five years 447 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: ago solely dedicated to repairing hyperspadias, and currently we have 448 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: patients that come from every state in the United States 449 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: and more than forty countries throughout the world to have 450 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: their hyperspatius repaired by us. And I'm sure. I mean 451 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: your surgeries like all surgeries, and your surgeries are life 452 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: changing for your patients at a very young age and 453 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: probably as well for their families. And um, I don't 454 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend to understand what you do, 455 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: but I know you're making huge differences in the lives 456 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: of others. What are what are some of the rewards 457 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: for you? Like do you get to how long do 458 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: you see your patients after a surgery, will you follow 459 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: them throughout adolescence or beyond or how does that? How 460 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: does that work? Depends on if they're local or from 461 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: out of town. So I operate in non virus days 462 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: usually all day Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so mondays 463 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: are local patients. And for those patients, I'll see them 464 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: back in the office usually about three months after surgery, 465 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: another six months after that, and then we start spacing 466 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: our visits, you know, ideally up until they go through puberty. 467 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: For our patients who are from out of town, which 468 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: is the vast majority of our patients, we usually do 469 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: telemedicine visits, so we were very early into telemedicine and 470 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: we've been continuing that, although the rest of our practice 471 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: right now is closed because we can't do any surgeries 472 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: in order to preserve gowns and gloves and masks and 473 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: all of that that everyone needs in the hospital setting 474 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: right now, so we've just continued with our telemedicines. We 475 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: saw a few new patients today already and that's what 476 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: we've done. It is amazing though, the difference of having 477 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: a penis that's normal compared to having a penis that 478 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: falls outside of a realm of normal can make So 479 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: we have one of the only practices in the world 480 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: that operates anywhere from tiny babies up into adulthood. So 481 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: we have patients who are teens and who are adults 482 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: with hypersbabius as well. And we've learned so much from 483 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: our older patients that really tell us the impact that 484 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 1: it has on them, from you know, essentially finding ways 485 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: to hide when they were changing in the locker room 486 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: for sports, from having to go by themselves into a 487 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: stall every single time they needed to yarinate, and you know, 488 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: being afraid to go to a football game, for instance, 489 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: because they knew that it was going to be difficult 490 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: to get into the stall, and they were too embarrassed 491 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: to to urinate into the urinal that's there in the restroom. 492 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: So it makes a huge impact on body image, self esteem. 493 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: It's so great to be able to correct them when 494 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: they're young, and then it's really just a memory for 495 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: their parents more so than it is for the children. 496 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: And so that's always nice when we can do that. 497 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: About half of our practice our new babies with hyperspadius. 498 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: The other half of our practice is redo repair, so 499 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: patients who are coming from surgeons all over the world, 500 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: and those patients can be older children or teens and 501 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: adults as we talked about, and so that can be 502 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult. We actually are big proponents 503 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: and mental health. We have a license their pist that 504 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: works with us to talk with our older children and 505 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: teens and adults. Himself had hyperspadius. So it really gives 506 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: a unique perspective because you know, for us we really 507 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: just think about it as surgeons as a body part 508 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: that can be fixed. It really impacts the whole person 509 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: and the whole family. I mean, there are some families 510 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: that they can't go on spring break with the rest 511 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 1: of the kids because they're bringing their kid to Dallas 512 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: for us to fix, you know, one son's penis, and 513 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: the whole family has to come around or or be 514 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: without mom and brother for a little bit of time. 515 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: So it's been a very eye opening experience for us 516 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: just doing this day in and day out and really 517 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: having that time to chat with our families. So that's 518 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: a big reason why we also started our charity Operation 519 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: Happiness to try to raise awareness so that at least 520 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: when new babies are born with it, they don't feel alone. 521 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: They have a network and moms and families to connect 522 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: to and realize that it almost never is anything that 523 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: a parent did or didn't do it during pregnancy. It's 524 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: just a birth effect that happens. And I think that 525 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: the more we know about birth effects in general, the 526 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: less guilty parents feel. So it's been fabulous to have 527 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: this practice to really look at kind of the all 528 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: encompassing aspect of it and worked very hard to be 529 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: perfectionists and what we do surgically, but also taking care 530 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: of the entire family to help with that. Raising awareness 531 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: and mental aspect of things that are involved. Whenever you 532 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: have a child where something's not perfect, you're for people 533 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: that are or listeners that might really want to reach 534 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: out to you. Where is your practice? So we just 535 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: open right before coronavirus started in the colony. We bought 536 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: our own building and surgical center. So our hyper Spata 537 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: Specialty Center now has big letters so that you can 538 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: see from the highway, which is really exciting for us 539 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: because it's a real destination for folks to be able 540 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: to come through from all over the world. So all 541 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: we do there is Hyperspatius. It's right off of one 542 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: twenty one, and we were open for about six weeks 543 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: before the governor said that we had to shut down 544 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: any elective surgery. So now we're really concentrating on you know, 545 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: of course I tell the medicines, but all of the 546 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: things that kind of get pushed to the back burner 547 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 1: when you have a busy surgical practice. So we're rereviewing 548 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: all of our data. I think most people are kind 549 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: of shocked that their surgeons often don't have any idea 550 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: about their surgical outcomes. That's been a huge part of 551 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: our practice is that we keep a database. Now more 552 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: with thousands of hYP spatas repairs so that we can 553 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 1: review it every so many months and make changes to 554 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: make sure that we're doing the best technical surgeries that 555 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: we can. So we've been busy with that. We've been 556 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,360 Speaker 1: working on a children's book. We have a little character 557 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: that we created called down Their Bear and it talks 558 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: about how his surgery took place. And so we have 559 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: one that's a little bit longer version for the older 560 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: boys that talks about having a catheter in and what 561 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: that means and having that removed actor surgery. But now 562 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: we're really looking at ways that families who have already 563 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: had their sons repaired can talk to their children about 564 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: what it was that they went through in an noun 565 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: threatening way. And so I've been working on the board 566 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: book version of it that's a quick version about down 567 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: their Bear and his surgery, so that kids can you 568 00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 1: understand what the term hypospadius is without it being something scary. Nicole, 569 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: did you always know that you wanted to be in 570 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 1: urology and specifically pediatric urology or when did you? When 571 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 1: did you take that course that course of medicine. That's 572 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: a great question. I didn't know in fact, when I 573 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,839 Speaker 1: went to medical school, I thought that I was going 574 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: to be a geriatrician take care of older folks, because 575 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if you recall, but when I was 576 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: a cheerleader, I lived with my grandmother and helped to 577 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: take care of her. She had a lung disease and 578 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: was there and she actually passed away my second year 579 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: of cheering right before we had a show in Arkansas, 580 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: so that was a little bit of a difficult weekend. 581 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: But when I went to medical school, that's what I 582 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: thought I was going to do. And during the second 583 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: year of medical school, they have all sorts of different 584 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: specialties that come in and give you lectures about things. 585 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: And when I heard the urology lectures, for some reason, 586 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: it just made sense. It was like, so common sense, 587 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: this is plumbing and if something's not working right, then 588 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: you unblock it. And I just kind of fell in 589 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: love with it. So I really had no intention of 590 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,279 Speaker 1: becoming a surgeon when I went to medical school, and 591 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 1: so this was a very different course for me to 592 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: fall in love with something that was surgical. And then 593 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: in the process of doing eurology, at first I thought 594 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: I was going to be a cancer doctor and I 595 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: spent a year at the National Institutes of Health doing 596 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: cancer research at the Eurologic Oncology branch, and when I 597 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: was there, I really fell in love with the genetics 598 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: of things, kind of clinical research to looking in the 599 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 1: why things happen for patients and how we can best 600 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: kind of tailor their care. And so right when I 601 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,279 Speaker 1: finished at my research here at the NH, I came 602 00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: back and did a pediatric urology rotation, which is very 603 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: much plastic surgery oriented, with lots of reconstructive surgery, and 604 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: I thought this was just the perfect opportunity to marry 605 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,280 Speaker 1: really fine details of plastic surge, dree with the genetic 606 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: aspect of thinks that I love taking care of kids, 607 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: and so that's how I ended up doing what I do. 608 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: And it comes to hyperspaces repair, it probably is one 609 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,719 Speaker 1: of the most technically challenging surgeries that you as pediatric 610 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: your rhologist, and you guys have fans that want to 611 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: know some more about you. So Hayley want to pop 612 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: in here and share some of the questions with Nicole 613 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: and Lauren Jerkan. So first question is from Purty Thurty 614 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,280 Speaker 1: and two was a alumni of DCC and the first 615 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: question is for Nicole, how has mom life been with kiddos? 616 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: Have they persuaded you to join the fabulous world of TikTok? 617 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,239 Speaker 1: I actually asked my kids earlier about TikTok, and my 618 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: kids are now in the fun tween and teen years, 619 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: and they were just mortified that I would even think 620 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 1: about joining. So I think that answers that mom life, 621 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:03,280 Speaker 1: though in general, has been you know, you've had to adapt. 622 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: They've three out of the four have taken well to well. 623 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,399 Speaker 1: One loves online schooling. Three out of the four will 624 00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: do it, but don't really like it much, and so 625 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: we kind of have to push to get them to 626 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: finish their assignments. But this is really the longest time 627 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: I've had to spend a day in and day out 628 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: with them, and so we've had a lot of fun. 629 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 1: I've never really cooked, and so we've been learning to 630 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: cook and baking bread and making meals together. So that 631 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,920 Speaker 1: has really been a lot of fun and something that 632 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: hopefully I'll take away as a positive from this later on. 633 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: So I get part of that question is your practice 634 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,280 Speaker 1: extends internationally, providing pertinent care, with many of your patients 635 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: being from other countries. Has COVID nineteen impacted your practice 636 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 1: and how have you been able to adjust and rise 637 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,799 Speaker 1: above those challenges? So there definitely are going to be 638 00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: challenges when it comes to rescheduling because every country has 639 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 1: different rates of coronavirus and different rules and regulations that 640 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: are set in place. When we were operating in March, 641 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: a few of our patients did get caught in it. 642 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: Some of our patients from Israel and from Egypt when 643 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 1: they went back after their surgeries had to be quarantined 644 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: for a full two weeks before they could go back home. 645 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: So we definitely saw a lot of that. So I 646 00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: think that we're going to be working very carefully since 647 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 1: so many of our patients fly in from everywhere, to 648 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 1: figure out the best and safe is mechanism for testing 649 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: for them, to make sure that we keep our patients 650 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: and their family safe, that we keep all my employees 651 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:45,879 Speaker 1: and nurses safe. And so that's our challenge that we're 652 00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: working on day in and day out, trying to figure 653 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: out what's available in terms of safety gear and testing. 654 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 1: But one thing that has been fun is the connection 655 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: that we've been able to continue with our international surgeons. 656 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: So yesterday around this time, I did a WEBINARUM in 657 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 1: Egypt where five hundred surgeons from twenty five countries attended 658 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: talking about REDO hyperspatious repair, and so that was a 659 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,240 Speaker 1: lot of fun. The week before I did a webinar 660 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: for Urology Residence in Brazil. And so we've kept in 661 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,399 Speaker 1: touch with many of our surgeon colleagues around the entire 662 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: world during this time because like most of us here 663 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,319 Speaker 1: in the States that are surgeons, surgeons in many other 664 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 1: countries are also not working and using this time to 665 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: try to better themselves, and so that has has has 666 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: been a positive too. I think. Okay, long in the 667 00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: since for you, UM, still from Party thirty and what 668 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: has been the biggest change in your protocol for caring 669 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 1: for patients? UM? I think I think it probably even 670 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: goes outside the hospital too. With our PPE protocol, that's 671 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,399 Speaker 1: the protective equipment that we have to wear in order 672 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: to make sure that, UM, you know, we're protected so 673 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: we can continue caring for our patients. And nurses have 674 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,400 Speaker 1: a natural instinct to just jump in wherever there is 675 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: and a need, and even just the other day we 676 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: had a code and that that first initial instinct is 677 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: to just go running where the code is, but um, 678 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to stop and think and make sure 679 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 1: that you're protected, make sure that you have everything so 680 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: that you can continue doing your job. So I think 681 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,720 Speaker 1: that's that's definitely been an adjustment. You know, we've always 682 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: had to be mindful of ppe, but you know, each 683 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: room that you go in really to make sure that 684 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: you're covered and all the protocols are are taken care of. Okay, 685 00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,480 Speaker 1: Another one for you is, I know you've been working 686 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: with your mom, so you probably haven't been in the 687 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: hospital as long as you thought you would. But what 688 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 1: has been the greatest success story of your patients recovering 689 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: from coviding if you have any Lauren, And honestly, this 690 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,520 Speaker 1: goes along with being my mom too. Um, you know, 691 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: after her open heart surgery, the greatest you I mean, 692 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 1: she worked so hard with all her rehab and everything 693 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,359 Speaker 1: which she was in the hospital and just being able 694 00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: to be reunited with her when it was finally time 695 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,120 Speaker 1: for a discharge. So I think really in general, whether 696 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: it's COVID patients or you know, any other kind of 697 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,760 Speaker 1: patients at this time, just with no family members being 698 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: allowed in the hospital, just that moment of seeing them 699 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: reunited with their families and being able to hug them 700 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: and love on them again when it's so uncertain at 701 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: the time where they said, you know, I'm not sure 702 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,600 Speaker 1: if you'll ever see your family member again, so say 703 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 1: your goodbye. So that's been really heart working and it's 704 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: so fun to see one for everybody from CJ. Stevens 705 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 1: twenty two. What is your favorite comfort food in quarantine 706 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: or have you tried any new recipes while you've been 707 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: in quarantine. I want chicken and waffles, and I hadn't. 708 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: I said, that's the first thing I want when I 709 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,319 Speaker 1: go to a restaurant. I'm just going to go all 710 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 1: out and get chicken and waffles, Blake, Nicole, I'm just 711 00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: learning to cook at this phase in life. You know, 712 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,080 Speaker 1: we got the Insta pot. We made a pot roast 713 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 1: and um. But I've have been doing takeout sushi and 714 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:11,759 Speaker 1: so I guess that's kind of always been one of 715 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: my favorites and also a comfort food. But I'm like Judy, 716 00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: I can't wait to get to go to a restaurant 717 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: and just have have great service and just relax and 718 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 1: not have anything planned and just I mean, y'all can 719 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: you remember when you just say, hey, you want to 720 00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,000 Speaker 1: meet me at so and so and yes, yes, yeah, 721 00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: miss that that's spontan spontaneity. It's like you've lost It's 722 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 1: like we've lost control, we've lost independence. Um, so I'm 723 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,040 Speaker 1: looking forward to regaining that. But I did make some 724 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,799 Speaker 1: sushi at home. So one of my twins is, I mean, 725 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: you've never seen the skinniest little twelve year old be 726 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: able to put away like a gazillion rolls like this 727 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 1: kid can. It's unbelievable. So she her her nanny actually 728 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: bought her a sushi making kit with a little mat 729 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: and the chopsticks for her birthday, which was recently, And 730 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: so I hunted down because we haven't been out of 731 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: the house. We were ordering everything in so I was 732 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 1: able to find the seaweed wraps on Amazon and some 733 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: sushi rice and you know, then I had some rice 734 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 1: vinegar that you mix in with sugar for the sushi rice, 735 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,839 Speaker 1: and then I got some of that fake crab at 736 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 1: my Last Time Things club. So we made the sushi 737 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: rice and then laid it all out with the seaweed 738 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: and put the crab and some avocado in it and 739 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: rolled it all up and now she with California Rolls 740 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 1: hates the cucumber in it because she doesn't like the crunch. 741 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: So this was nice making our own. She didn't have 742 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 1: to poke out the cucumber pieces one at a time 743 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: with their chopsticks. So we rolled it up and the 744 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 1: first one was a little shaky while confess it you 745 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,920 Speaker 1: didn't quite well and yeah, it was actually kind of tricky, 746 00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: but by the second one she actually had it down 747 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: pretty good. So now we realize we need a sharper 748 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 1: knife because it's really hard to cut the role without 749 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: super sharp knife. So that's gonna sushi cutting knife's gonna 750 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,160 Speaker 1: have to go on on the worst of things to buy. 751 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 1: But it was kind of fun. Sounds fun. I know 752 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: I've tried last I guess it was last or two 753 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 1: years ago for my birthday, we had like a sushi 754 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,359 Speaker 1: making knight and how a sushi chef come and like 755 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: teach us how to do it. And it was interesting 756 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 1: to say the least. Let's for sure, there is no 757 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: there's no way I would attempt sushi. I would I 758 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 1: would be coming to you Nicole to steal. No way, 759 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 1: But that's awesome, Lauren, what about you? What are you 760 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: um cooking for the hobby during this Harry Sushi yet. 761 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 1: I haven't tried that yet, but I love to cook. 762 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: That's when. Honestly, one of my favorite parts about Quarantine's 763 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 1: being able to have the time to do it so um. 764 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: And actually he it surprised me with his cooking skills 765 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,080 Speaker 1: when I come home from work and some of the 766 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 1: days we've got steak and potatoes and all this stuff made. 767 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: So that's been really fun in learning that. But we 768 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: had today we had homemade Greek petas for lunch and 769 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm making a apple honeymustard pork ros for dinner. So 770 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, I just love this. This is I 771 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 1: love to go. So this has been a fun time 772 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: to be able to try out new stuff. Awesome. That's 773 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 1: kind of all the questions we have. Should we yeahs yes, 774 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,320 Speaker 1: I want to m Lauren and Nicole. I know Lauren 775 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: you may be a little bit more familiar or Nicole 776 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: maybe because you're closer to us. But so two days 777 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,400 Speaker 1: from now, starting Saturday, we are, for the first time 778 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,600 Speaker 1: ever in our history, having an online audition submission, so 779 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:53,239 Speaker 1: as crazy as it sounds, and Nicole, you mentioned being 780 00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: online with Israel. In Egypt, we have we too, have 781 00:45:56,080 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 1: been online internationally developing a very robust platform where candidates 782 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:09,880 Speaker 1: can submit their full applications. They can apply, they can write, 783 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:11,840 Speaker 1: they can come back in and out of the application 784 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: like a college application, and then they'll submit a video 785 00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:18,520 Speaker 1: introducing themselves and then they'll set us submit a video 786 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:23,000 Speaker 1: sixty seconds of them dancing their best, their homes, their garage, 787 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: their backyard, their choice of music. They'll submit that and 788 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,280 Speaker 1: then we will be taking those applications from May second 789 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 1: through May fifteenth, and from that we will be judging. 790 00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: On the back end, We'll still have our judges. Every 791 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:42,439 Speaker 1: judge will be judging from the comfort of their own 792 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 1: place and space, and that's what we'll be doing to 793 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,839 Speaker 1: go into round two, the semifinal round that you guys 794 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,919 Speaker 1: would remember, and at that point we will send out 795 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,880 Speaker 1: dance videos that they would need to learn and again 796 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 1: send us a video back of them doing the choreography. 797 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:03,360 Speaker 1: So I'm really excited. I've talked to so many people 798 00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: about this, and I think there's some benefits to it 799 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: because the people that you know what, nobody will have 800 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: to have spend the money on travel to get to 801 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,279 Speaker 1: Dallas for round one or round two. For those that 802 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: have kind of that audition anxiety that kind of just 803 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: you know, blank out, that won't happen, because if it does, 804 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: they can refilm themselves and submit the video that they 805 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: really think presents their best. And then from a judge's perspective, 806 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 1: we as judges won't be looking at five people at 807 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 1: a time. We'll be looking at one candidate at a time. 808 00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:40,919 Speaker 1: We'll have her entire application with everything right at our fingertips. 809 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: We can watch it again and again, make very thorough 810 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: notes and hopefully, you know, give him a green light 811 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: to the next round. So that starts this Saturday. I'm 812 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,160 Speaker 1: so excited to see if you get a different quality 813 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,000 Speaker 1: of candidates that you have just from a whole new 814 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: system of auditioning and that I think it's very exciting 815 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,920 Speaker 1: and certainly does save a lot of the expenses for 816 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,479 Speaker 1: many of the girls who are traveling from all over 817 00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: and so I think that's going to be a real 818 00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,359 Speaker 1: win win for everybody that's involved. Sure, hope. So I 819 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: know that I've had some people just send me videos 820 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: on Instagram unsolicited, and they're good, they're good dancers, and 821 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,240 Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to definitely see the dance 822 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: technique and everything that we need to on the application. 823 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 1: But I'm excited and from the discussions we've had with 824 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,879 Speaker 1: the company that's helping us develop this software, I do 825 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:37,280 Speaker 1: think that this will exponentially increase the candidates. And just fy, 826 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: we have thirty of our current squad re auditioning. It's 827 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 1: our largest crazy group I know. So we have thirty 828 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: re auditioning veteran hopefuls in addition to all the new candidates. 829 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 1: So we're real excited. That starts on Saturday, and it's 830 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,719 Speaker 1: not just one day where there's there's two weeks where 831 00:48:56,719 --> 00:49:00,520 Speaker 1: people can submit an application. So fingers cross, y'all, because 832 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: when it goes live, there's no turning back. We've jumped 833 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 1: in now, and you guys have an incredible group of 834 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: returning I mean thirty incredible candidates coming back.
