This was like, so, 72 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: we used to live in this apartment and they had, 73 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, one of the community grills, you know, out 74 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: in between two buildings, and I'd go out. I'd go 75 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: some burgers, you know, once twice a week. And one 76 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: of my best friends he would he lived like in 77 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: the second level that over his balcony oversaw the grill. Well, 78 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm like the only one that used at grilled. So 79 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: when he heard the grill lighting, he knew it was 80 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: me out there, and he'd pop his head out and 81 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: sure enough we'd make sure we had enough burgers for him. 82 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: He'd come out. Well, one time, we're out there grilling, 83 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: and we were just out there drinking beers and chatting 84 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: and just having a great time. And I burnt the 85 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: shit out of these burgers. So we drove to the 86 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: grocery store, got new burgers, came back, grilled those burgers, 87 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: and then brought them up as if we had just 88 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: grilled these burgers to perfection. I mean it was. It 89 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: was incredible. But spring is here, so we're grilling, we're 90 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: drinking beers.

So I've had since our 128 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: last episode, I've had two hospital visits. Now you might 129 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: be thinking, Jeremy, are you dying well? I mean, aren't 130 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: we all? I mean, let's be real, aren't we all? 131 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: But no, I'm not. But I am, you know, dealing 132 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: with stuff as we all are. And my my dealings 133 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: have to do with the repercussions of the chrome's disease, 134 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: and something that comes along with that is some iron deficiencies. 135 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: And sometimes that iron deficiency, Boy does it get me down. 136 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: It brings me down. I'm super tired all the time. 137 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: I don't feel well, the headaches, the just I mean 138 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: when I say I'm tired, it's not like, oh, shoot, 139 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: I should go to bed early tonight. No, It's like 140 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: I peak when I wake up, and that peak runs 141 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: pretty dry by nine am, and then I could sleep 142 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the day and be perfectly content. So 143 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: getting through the day is a struggle. But you know what, 144 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: when I have iron in me, when I crank that 145 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: up to a twelve, and then I feel semi human again. 146 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: So what I had to do was, you know, go 147 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: see the doctor and they test the blood and they're like, 148 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: oh shit, what the hell are you doing?

I just try to live like it. 161 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 1: I get to the iron and then you know, it 162 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: takes a while to absorb with my body, but anyway, 163 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: I get there. Right, it's a Thursday, I get in. 164 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't know why it is. I hydrate. Okay, I 165 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: don't know if it's because I don't like needles, so 166 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: my body tenses up and my veins want to hide. 167 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's truth to that. I have been told 168 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: that that's a thing. I don't know, but it's very 169 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: difficult for nurses to find veins or to properly put 170 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: the needle in my vein for the IV. It's quite 171 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: the struggle sometimes. I mean sometimes I'll get poked like 172 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: four or five six times, you know, I've had it 173 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: where they've been in my right arm, and they're like, 174 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: all right, we got you. You know, it's perfect, just 175 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: pro we finally did it. I'm like, awesome, it hurts, 176 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: but okay, that's all right, we did it. And then 177 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: they'll they'll start cranking the stuff in and then and 178 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: I'm like this hurts, and they're like, no, we got it, 179 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: we got it. We're not doing it again. I'm like, 180 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: that's why I trust you. You're you're the medical professional, 181 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, it hurts. Next thing, you know, 182 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, like when Popeye eats the spinach 183 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: and his biceps explode, Yeah, that's my arm. It's like 184 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: five sizes too big. And it's not too big. I mean, 185 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: I think if I worked out, I could probably work 186 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: into that, But for within seconds to be that big, 187 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: that's just not how it works. So let's just say 188 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 1: I've had some struggles with that. So on Thursday, it 189 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: takes two nurses. They finally get it. On the top 190 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: of my left hand. There was like a big old 191 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: vein popping. They had me do this thing where I 192 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: dangled my arm and squeezed my fist and it worked. 193 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: That vein is popping. They get that in there. Yeah, 194 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: I get the iron. You know. A couple hours later, 195 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm all done. You know, I went and had some lunch. 196 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: I had Long John Silver's. People ask, you know who 197 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: keeps Long John Silver's in business, It's me. After I 198 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: get the iron. I haven't had it in years, but 199 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: I did have it right after I got the iron. 200 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: So I guess they answer to that question is me. 201 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 1: So then I get a second treatment of iron. So 202 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: five days later, right, so then today, so I get 203 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: to go in this morning get the second dose. I'm 204 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: telling you what. When I walked in there this morning, 205 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: I was feeling pretty good, Like I felt like I 206 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: think the iron is finally starting to like work in me, 207 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: like everything is starting to gel, like I think we're 208 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: on the right path to success. I may feel good 209 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: for a month maybe, I mean, that's that's what I'm 210 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: looking at. I'm being positive, So it's it was. Actually 211 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: it's funny because I go in, I'm checking in, and 212 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: I have to meet with the lady at the desk. 213 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: You know, they ask you all the questions, which this 214 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: time was interesting. I'd just been there right five days ago, 215 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: and you know, any any changes with your insurance blah 216 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: blah blah, all the stuff, asking my name and birthday. 217 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: I give all that, and then this question I've never 218 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: been asked, so my brain instantly had a different answer 219 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: than darvel. I've never been asked if within the last 220 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: five days, because you know, I was just there, have 221 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: my demographics changed? And that one caught me for a loop. 222 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: Normally it's just automatic. I answer everything, boom boom boom, 223 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: have my have your demographics changed in the last five days? 224 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, actually I'm Latino now, thanks Jenny, 225 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: and she stared at me. I said, I'm joking, obviously, no, 226 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: nothing has changed, and then she rushed me out of there. 227 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't know that's at the tone. I can tell 228 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: you that. But I learned the trick thing with the 229 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: from my vein with my arm, so I did that 230 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: right away going in to get the iron. So one shot, 231 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: one needle. It's all took this time. You know, felt awesome. 232 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: You get that when they get the ivy in and 233 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: they they flush it and you get that taste of 234 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: saline in your mouth. Oh oh, I freaking love that. 235 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's uh, if anyone can relate 236 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: to that. I freaking love it. Love that. I love 237 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: it when when at the end, sometimes they'll flush it 238 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: again and I'll get that taste. She I got jip 239 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: this time. There was no second flush. I really wanted 240 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: that second flush. I think I start requesting it or 241 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: something because I did get it last Thursday. I get 242 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: that that shot of the saline. I can taste it. 243 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: I just don't know if it's just because it's it 244 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: to me. It's just it's cool that I she shoots 245 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: it into my arm and and I can taste it. 246 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: It's cool. I like it. I'll take a day lyle 247 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: if I could. So the iron goes in. Normally it's 248 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: not a big deal. Goes in, I can't feel anything. 249 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: Oh not that I'm numb, it's just there's no change. 250 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: Was it's drip drip, drip dripping in. But this time, man, 251 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: I was pretty uncomfortable through the whole thing, my entire midsection. 252 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: Uh well, I guess I take that back. When I 253 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: left last Thursday, it was like my whole insides were 254 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: on fire when I left, and that fire burning is 255 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: usually on the dance floor, but not like not today, 256 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: like it was it was like my inside. So then 257 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: that wore off ate the long jump silver So again 258 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: this happened right after, so it had nothing to do 259 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: with the long jump silvers. And then today, really uncomfortable 260 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: through the whole thing. My back was starting to hurt 261 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: a little bit, just very uncomfortable. Had nothing to do 262 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: with the recliners either, and then you know, then it 263 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: was over and then I'm super tired again. It's like, 264 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: what the hell? I was feeling pretty good walking in there, 265 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: and I just don't know if my demographics joke was 266 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: just was that like inappropriate that they gave me the 267 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: special stuff? I don't know, but it was. It was 268 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: quite the deal. But hopefully I'm on the up and up. 269 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: The iron deficiency hopefully has been resolved for I don't know, 270 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: another month or two. It's really not that frequent, but 271 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: hopefully I can at least feel so I normal. I 272 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm giving out too much medical information 273 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: right now, Like am I violating OCEAWA right now? Like 274 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if if that's what I'm doing, But 275 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.

One of the things 314 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: I love about like social media, outside of watching other 315 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: people's problems, because sometimes you know, people just share too 316 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 1: much Levetti and that's where that part can be entertaining. 317 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: But one of the things I do love the most 318 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: is like somebody just randomly posting one picture of something 319 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: old that you can like that you remember, you know, 320 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: like from your childhood. One of the things I saw 321 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: today it was a twenty ounce pop bottle cap. You know. 322 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: On the inside they had the games, the contests. You know, 323 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: it would say like please play again if you lost, 324 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: but if you won, it's say like buy a do 325 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: or Pepsi twenty ounce get one free, or sometimes you 326 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: just get a free one. Why are we still doing that? Like, 327 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: you can't tell me it costs so much to be 328 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: doing these Bogo twenty ounce pop deals or so much 329 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: to print on the inside of these capsules. We can't 330 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: be running these promos. You can't tell me that that 331 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 1: didn't boost sales. I know for a fact, I was 332 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: drinking mountain dew and pepsi because of the contest. Because 333 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: when the contest ran dry. It's not that I didn't 334 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: drink those anymore. It's just I started to drink other 335 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: different flavors and pops along the way as well. But 336 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: when you had the contest going, I mean, I'm I'm 337 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: loyal to the costs, Okay, I am loyal. I am 338 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: buying up. I want to win. That's the thing. We 339 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: all want to win, and we're all loyal to business 340 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: to activities. They give us the opportunity to win at 341 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: scratch tickets. That's one of the things.

And it's 361 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: as simple as putting some printing inside of a bottle 362 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: cap that says buy do or PEPSI get one free 363 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: all day man, all day.
