55
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: the talk of the hospital, uh just just today. And

56
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's interesting because in this business you

57
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: want to be talked about like I do this podcast.

58
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: It's not there before me. Okay, I'm not telling you

59
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: my story and and you know, having fun guests on

60
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: so that we can feel better about ourselves. No, no, no,

61
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: And Johnny, he's not on the ones and twos, just

62
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: so that he feels better about his day. Absolutely not.

63
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: In fact, I promise you by the time he's done

64
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: working with me, he feels worries about himself. That's true. No,

65
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: we do this. We do this to get the people talk.

66
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: And that is something that that I did today. The

67
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: folks at the Bergen Mercy Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, they

68
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: they knew a little bit about me today. So it's that,

69
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: you know, it's the holidays, It's that time of year

70
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: where you know, I'm working. I'm working, I'm working retail,

71
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: I'm working longer days, I'm working harder. You know, there's

72
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: just a little more to do. You got to put

73
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: in a little more effort just to make sure that

74
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: the people get what they need, you know. And I've

75
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: got the Crohn's disease, so sometimes that it's one of

76
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: those things I'm working hard. On the other hand, I

77
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: am depleting myself from what I've got in me just

78
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: to go every day. So I'm tired, baby, I am tired.

79
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: My iron got incredibly low again and had a little

80
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: thing called the anemia and had the blood tested and

81
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: they said, Jeremy, you your iron's low, and I'm like,

82
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: I know, that's that's why I came to you, and

83
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: they said, let's let's hook you up with some iron.

84
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: So I did. I did what I've done many a

85
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: time before and set up the appointment, went in and

86
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: got the old infusion, got the ivy hooked up, and

87
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: spent uh spend an hour getting the iron pumping in

88
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: the arm. First of all, I just want to give

89
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: a shout out to the nurse that I had that

90
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: put the iv in, because generally speaking, this is not

91
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: an easy deal for some of the folks, and I

92
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: take full blame for that. Sometimes they say, Jeremy, you're

93
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: not hydrated, or Jeremy, are you nervous? Your veins are hiding,

94
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, yeah, I am nervous. I am nervous.

95
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: I don't like needles, I don't like being here. I've

96
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: got shit to do, and you know, so sometimes it's

97
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: a two to three, it's even been up to four

98
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: five pokes to try and get the ivy hooked in.

99
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Shout out to the nurse. She got it in the

100
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: very first time. I she goes, where do you want it?

101
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: And instantly I'm like, well, I Sometimes I try to

102
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: just give advice, you know, like Hey. Generally they'll put

103
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: it in my left arm, but we've had to put

104
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: it in my hand a couple of times because my

105
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: veins have been tricky, and some nurses will be like,

106
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll do the deciding here, and then

107
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: they'll go and try and then you know, then we're

108
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: a couple pokes in. But this time she's like, well,

109
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: do you want it in your hand? I go, I

110
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: want it wherever you want it, Thank you, Johnny. And

111
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: so then she ends up putting it on the top

112
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: of my left wrist, which was perfect. The vein was great.

113
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 1: She pops it in right away. We get that baby

114
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: rolling iron is pumping. I just want to breakface this

115
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: with I did go to the bathroom before I sat down.

116
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: I had to beeat real bad like I've had, you know,

117
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: And I should say this pointman was at eight am.

118
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: I had been working since two forty five am. So

119
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: I've had I've had you know, I've had caffeine. I've

120
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: have had some waters. So I go to the bathroom,

121
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: I go in, I get the IV and now I'm

122
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: gonna sit for an hour. Well then she's like, do

123
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: you want anything to drink? I'm like, yeah, it takes

124
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: something to drink. So I have a nice, a nice

125
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: crisp sprite and then I sit there and I scroll Twitter,

126
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: I watch YouTube videos. I listen to a podcast. I

127
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: tell you what that Uh, there's one it's called I

128
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: think it's called Fly on the Wall David Spade, and

129
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: I don't remember the other comedian's name. He's hilarious. He's

130
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: from SNL as well back in the day. Anyway, that's

131
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: funny show. I was listening to that. Anyway, that's at

132
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: the point of the story. Everything went just fine while

133
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: I was in the hospital there getting my IVY. So

134
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: we're wrapping up, and it's like they have to like

135
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: observe you for a bit after they've filled, you know,

136
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: fulfilled the ivy's job, and the reason being in case

137
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: you have an allergic reaction or whatever. And I've had

138
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: enough of these. It's just I'm not gonna have an

139
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: allergic reaction. So I just sit there. Well, I gotta

140
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: beet real bad again. I don't know if it was

141
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: because I had peed earlier and now it was like

142
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: all right, now it's go time for the rest to day,

143
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: or it was because I had that ice like cold

144
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: crisp tasting sprite while I was sitting there waiting, but

145
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: either way I had to go. I was dying. I

146
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: almost thought about asking the nurse because she had already

147
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: unhooked the IV just hadn't taken out of my hand,

148
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: and I was almost gonna be like, I'm just I

149
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: gotta go, Like, I'll be right back, Like, you can

150
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: stand outside the door if you have to, I'm not dropping,

151
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 1: but I did not. I was like, you know what,

152
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: I can wait ten minutes. So I wait fifteen and

153
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: then she takes it out, and you know, I go

154
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: on my way. Well, I'm the first thing I want

155
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: to do is now go to the bathroom. So I'm like, well,

156
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I know that there's one, like in the hallway maybe

157
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: outside of the uh the infusion et center. So I

158
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: was like, well, I'll leave this room and go out

159
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: there and that way. Nobody's like, like, oh, why is

160
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: this guy still here? So and I don't know why.

161
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: I was like wondering, like I was concerned about this.

162
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's still hanging around. So then so

163
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I bolt through the door. But I see a single

164
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: stall bathroom right next to the front desk. So I'm

165
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: like well this is convenient. I'm just gonna go ahead

166
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: and use this bad boy, right, So then I hop

167
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: in there, closed the door. I'm peeing. I'm peeing what

168
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: feels like in eternity, Like it feels like I've been

169
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: peeing for a good ten minutes. And I know that's

170
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: a long time. And I'm just telling you mentally, that's

171
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: where I was at. It felt like I was going

172
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: for a long time. So then I got one of

173
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: those uh, you know, midpe farts where I was like,

174
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: all right, all right, and and so I start too,

175
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: and they're like, o oh shit, like this is not

176
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: going to be just amid part I need to come.

177
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: I need to change course here. Okay, things were going down,

178
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it was the iron. I

179
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: don't know if that can like trigger anything either way.

180
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: I've got the Crowns. I got problems, guys, I got problems.

181
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes things just are happening, well, things were happening in

182
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: this moment. So I flip around, right, no big deal,

183
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: take care of business. Except just as I start, it

184
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: is so loud, the echo coming out of the toilet.

185
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: And you know these hospital bathrooms they're they're just stone

186
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: like They're just stone. The echo it was just bouncing

187
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: off the walls. The sound was I instantly was like,

188
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: oh shit, does the door go all the way down,

189
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: because otherwise the sound is going to escape. I'm right

190
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: next to the front desk, Okay. I was very concerned

191
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: about this, so I kind of like did one of

192
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: those things where you try to like slow it down,

193
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: like you know, just you know a little bit, a

194
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: little bit here, a little bit there. But it was

195
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: tough because this was was borderline emergency situation, like I

196
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: wasn't leaving this bathroom without taking care of business. So

197
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: I start to go again, just echoes, echoes. So then

198
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: I started to slow down again, and I'm like, I

199
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: could hear people. I'm like, do they hear me? And

200
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't quite hear what the guy was saying, but

201
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: I could hear the girls at the front desk and

202
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: she said, oh, this happens all the time. And I'm like,

203
00:12:50,320 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: oh shit, they're talking about me. People must go to

204
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: this one stall right next to the front desk and

205
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 1: just rip shit up and they probably can't hear it

206
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: all day long. I was I had zero intentions of

207
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: doing this today, zero intentions of utilizing their restroom in

208
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: this way. It's it's it was an emergency, Like I'm

209
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: at the hospital. I'm sure, I'm sure worst things happened

210
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: in that building today, right, I'm sure of it. But

211
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 1: either way, I'm going, and I have to decide do

212
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: I just keep going slow, you know, a little bit

213
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: here and there, a little bits in there, or do

214
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: I just full on go let it echo out the

215
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: halls and then try to try to get out of there. Well,

216
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: I do just that. It was like chorus, and then

217
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, what if I wait this out just

218
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: a little bit longer and then hopefully nobody like they'll

219
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: think I already left and they'll just kind of like

220
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: forget that this happened. Right, I still hear a little

221
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: bit of chatter out there, and all right, I've waited

222
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: long enough. I gotta I gotta try to get out

223
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: of here. Wash my hands, dry them up, open the door.

224
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: There was a fucking guy. He's standing there waiting. We

225
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: made very brief eye contact, and it was the here's

226
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: the thing. I looked away. He also looked away. I

227
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: know that. I know they were all they all could

228
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: hear me. I mean, it was echoing through the echoing,

229
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Like it's supposed to be a private business situation, right,

230
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: it's you're supposed to be able to do your thing.

231
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be so public. I there was

232
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: a waiting room full of people the front desk, three

233
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: four girls. I know they've been they were talking about it.

234
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: I certainly they could hear it. So then I jet

235
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: out of there, right, I go to the right. I

236
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: exit the waiting room immediately, and I started walking down

237
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: the hall. Well, I just happened to have another appointment upstairs,

238
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: follow up from a previous time I was there, and

239
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta figure out how to get up

240
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: there without going back and seeing those folks again. Well, that, uh,

241
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: that's where I got. I got a little bit lost,

242
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: and I had to circle back and to the elevator,

243
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: which was in the waiting room of the very place

244
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: that he's the restroom. So I just kept my head down,

245
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: pushed the button, went upstairs. It was fine, you know,

246
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: it was already it was already tough because I'm nervous

247
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: about putting the IV in. When you check in, they

248
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: weigh you, I'm, you know, five pounds from my heaviest

249
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: I've ever been, so I'm like, well, this sucks. They

250
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: better be able to put the IV in, That's what

251
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking. I'm like, well, I've already got this weight problem,

252
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: like at least be able to put the IV in. Right.

253
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: They do that, but then I almost shit myself right

254
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: there at the front desk. It's awful. But then I

255
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: go upstairs, right, and I go up to my follow

256
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: up and then you know, they act like I haven't

257
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: been there yet today, so they have to check my

258
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: weight and my height and everything all over again. I

259
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: had lost two pounds from when I arrived there at

260
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: eight o'clock. So maybe it wasn't all bad. Maybe it

261
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: was meant to be. It was just they were just

262
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: trying to hype me up. My body was like, you

263
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: know what, you've been through a lot this morning, but

264
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna make something right because I know

265
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: you were pretty down about that weight thing, so we're

266
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 1: gonna make it so you have to shit yourself and

267
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: then we're gonna give you another test on what your

268
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: weight is so that you know you can be vindicated

269
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: just a little bit. I felt pretty good about that

270
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: at least, and then once that appointment was over. Oh

271
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: my god, I got out of there. I got out

272
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: of there. Johnny, I don't I don't know if you've

273
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: ever I do you go to the doctor? I mean,

274
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: I know, you stay in pretty good shape, you run

275
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: a lot. I don't think you lift, you stay in

276
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: pretty good shape. I mean I used to think, you know,

277
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: you don't go to the doctor really unless you've got

278
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: a problem. And then once I got a problem and

279
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: everything started to become you know, reacting to the problem,

280
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: to the symptoms of your problem, It's really changed my

281
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: beliefs on the whole, the whole system, Like we should

282
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: all be going to the doctor from the get healthy

283
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: or not, and they should be just offering you great

284
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: preventative care in ways so that you don't get sick.

285
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: I mean, there had to have been signs that I

286
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: was gonna have crones disease, right, Maybe not, maybe there wasn't,

287
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: but you would think over all the years of the

288
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: world and all the years of crones that there would

289
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: be some kind of like signs that they could see,

290
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: like what we we have seen that there is a

291
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: chance that you, sir, are not gonna be really well

292
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. And uh, here's what we

293
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: can do for you so that we can try to

294
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: help you along the way so it doesn't get so

295
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: bad that you're in constant chronic pain and you're gonna

296
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: shit yourself. Like that's Those are the things that I'm like, well,

297
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: maybe they could have seen that coming, but maybe not.

298
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: Maybe it takes it takes uh something to happen for

299
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: them to be like, yep, you're right, check the box,

300
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: You've got it. I don't know, but that was a

301
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: wild one this morning. That was a wild one. Freaking

302
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh well, it's Thanksgiving week. Hopefully all of you have

303

Speaker 1: some time with your family, with your friends, with your pets,

304
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: take a break from work. If you're in retail work,

305
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: maybe even just a little bit harder. It's always different

306
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 1: for everybody. That was one of the things about working

307
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: in retails. As you head into like major holidays, and

308
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: the people were like, oh, do you have to work

309
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving? And it's like, yeah, yeah, I am, I

310
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: am working on Thanksgiving. Oh well, thank you so much

311
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: for being open, And I'm like, yeah, that's cool. Yep,

312
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: my thanks is that you gave me the thanks. I

313
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: now am going to enjoy that turkey, that cold turkey.

314
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: Just a little bit more because you gave me that

315
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: thanks on Tuesday. How about new rule, we all just

316
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: like plan a little bit better so that we could

317
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: get our stuff so that we can like all take

318
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: the day off like that would be. That would be

319
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: extra special, Like you're gonna make it. You're gonna make it, honestly,

320
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: without the store being open for one day, right, you

321
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: would think, I mean there's really just there's there's not

322
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: that many that the store really absolutely needs to be closed. Okay,

323
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: obviously it could be closed on Thanksgiving or at least

324
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: closed early. Maybe get those last minute things accents happen whatever.

325
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: Then we've got Christmas Day. Let's take Christmas Day off. Okay,

326
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: that's pretty standard. They probably all right, I'll give you

327
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: election Day. We should probably figure out a way to

328
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: operate where Election Day is a national holiday and folks

329
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: can take that off. And then the last like big

330
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: big one that I'm like, all right, we could probably

331
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: make this work. It'd be like Super Bowl Sunday, and

332
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: then you know, it's just gonna be another It's gonna

333
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: be like Thanksgiving. Yeah, there's gonna be tons of tons

334
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: of food. But just plan it out right, just plan

335
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: it out so that you can get your food set

336
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: up ahead of time or have it ready to be prepared.

337
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: You're just gonna change how you make it most likely,

338
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: or heat it up or whatever. But then everybody could say,

339
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: watch the game pregame, baby, They do pregame all freaking

340
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: day long, and a lot of people don't know that

341
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: because they're too busy working. Yeah, a lot of work

342
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: goes into those pregame packages. I definitely suggest checking it

343
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: out sometimes used to be something I enjoy doing. Then

344
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: I had to work all day. So if you listen

345
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,720
