<v Speaker 1>I like, I think I lost my voice just a

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>little bit, just a little bit. The nurse did say

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>that was going to be a side effect, and you

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.240

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>into that. It is officially story Time with j O season.

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I've got I've got a doozy for you. I was

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the talk of the hospital, uh just just today. And

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's interesting because in this business you

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>want to be talked about like I do this podcast.

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It's not there before me. Okay, I'm not telling you

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>my story and and you know, having fun guests on

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>so that we can feel better about ourselves. No, no, no,

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>And Johnny, he's not on the ones and twos, just

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>so that he feels better about his day. Absolutely not.

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I promise you by the time he's done

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 1>working with me, he feels worries about himself. That's true. No,

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 1>we do this. We do this to get the people talk.

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 1>And that is something that that I did today. The

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>folks at the Bergen Mercy Hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, they

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.840
<v Speaker 1>they knew a little bit about me today. So it's that,

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's the holidays, It's that time of year

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>where you know, I'm working. I'm working, I'm working retail,

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm working longer days, I'm working harder. You know, there's

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>just a little more to do. You got to put

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>in a little more effort just to make sure that

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>the people get what they need, you know. And I've

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>got the Crohn's disease, so sometimes that it's one of

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 1>those things I'm working hard. On the other hand, I

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>am depleting myself from what I've got in me just

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>to go every day. So I'm tired, baby, I am tired.

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>My iron got incredibly low again and had a little

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>thing called the anemia and had the blood tested and

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>they said, Jeremy, you your iron's low, and I'm like,

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I know, that's that's why I came to you, and

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.679
<v Speaker 1>they said, let's let's hook you up with some iron.

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>So I did. I did what I've done many a

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 1>time before and set up the appointment, went in and

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>got the old infusion, got the ivy hooked up, and

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>spent uh spend an hour getting the iron pumping in

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the arm. First of all, I just want to give

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>a shout out to the nurse that I had that

0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>put the iv in, because generally speaking, this is not

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>an easy deal for some of the folks, and I

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 1>take full blame for that. Sometimes they say, Jeremy, you're

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 1>not hydrated, or Jeremy, are you nervous? Your veins are hiding,

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:24.039
<v Speaker 1>And I said, yeah, yeah, I am nervous. I am nervous.

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't like needles, I don't like being here. I've

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>got shit to do, and you know, so sometimes it's

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a two to three, it's even been up to four

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>five pokes to try and get the ivy hooked in.

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to the nurse. She got it in the

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>very first time. I she goes, where do you want it?

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>And instantly I'm like, well, I Sometimes I try to

0:06:55.080 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>just give advice, you know, like Hey. Generally they'll put

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 1>it in my left arm, but we've had to put

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>it in my hand a couple of times because my

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>veins have been tricky, and some nurses will be like,

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'll do the deciding here, and then

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>they'll go and try and then you know, then we're

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple pokes in. But this time she's like, well,

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>do you want it in your hand? I go, I

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>want it wherever you want it, Thank you, Johnny. And

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>so then she ends up putting it on the top

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>of my left wrist, which was perfect. The vein was great.

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:36.119
<v Speaker 1>She pops it in right away. We get that baby

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>rolling iron is pumping. I just want to breakface this

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>with I did go to the bathroom before I sat down.

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I had to beeat real bad like I've had, you know,

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>And I should say this pointman was at eight am.

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I had been working since two forty five am. So

0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I've had I've had you know, I've had caffeine. I've

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>have had some waters. So I go to the bathroom,

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I go in, I get the IV and now I'm

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna sit for an hour. Well then she's like, do

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>you want anything to drink? I'm like, yeah, it takes

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.040
<v Speaker 1>something to drink. So I have a nice, a nice

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>crisp sprite and then I sit there and I scroll Twitter,

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>I watch YouTube videos. I listen to a podcast. I

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>tell you what that Uh, there's one it's called I

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>think it's called Fly on the Wall David Spade, and

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember the other comedian's name. He's hilarious. He's

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.640
<v Speaker 1>from SNL as well back in the day. Anyway, that's

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.680
<v Speaker 1>funny show. I was listening to that. Anyway, that's at

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the point of the story. Everything went just fine while

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>I was in the hospital there getting my IVY. So

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 1>we're wrapping up, and it's like they have to like

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>observe you for a bit after they've filled, you know,

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>fulfilled the ivy's job, and the reason being in case

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you have an allergic reaction or whatever. And I've had

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>enough of these. It's just I'm not gonna have an

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.439
<v Speaker 1>allergic reaction. So I just sit there. Well, I gotta

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>beet real bad again. I don't know if it was

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>because I had peed earlier and now it was like

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 1>all right, now it's go time for the rest to day,

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>or it was because I had that ice like cold

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>crisp tasting sprite while I was sitting there waiting, but

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>either way I had to go. I was dying. I

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>almost thought about asking the nurse because she had already

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>unhooked the IV just hadn't taken out of my hand,

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>and I was almost gonna be like, I'm just I

0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>gotta go, Like, I'll be right back, Like, you can

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>stand outside the door if you have to, I'm not dropping,

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.599
<v Speaker 1>but I did not. I was like, you know what,

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I can wait ten minutes. So I wait fifteen and

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:52.719
<v Speaker 1>then she takes it out, and you know, I go

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>on my way. Well, I'm the first thing I want

0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 1>to do is now go to the bathroom. So I'm like, well,

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I know that there's one, like in the hallway maybe

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.199
<v Speaker 1>outside of the uh the infusion et center. So I

0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, well, I'll leave this room and go out

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.439
<v Speaker 1>there and that way. Nobody's like, like, oh, why is

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>this guy still here? So and I don't know why.

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I was like wondering, like I was concerned about this.

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this guy's still hanging around. So then so

0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I bolt through the door. But I see a single

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>stall bathroom right next to the front desk. So I'm

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>like well this is convenient. I'm just gonna go ahead

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and use this bad boy, right, So then I hop

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 1>in there, closed the door. I'm peeing. I'm peeing what

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>feels like in eternity, Like it feels like I've been

0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 1>peeing for a good ten minutes. And I know that's

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 1>a long time. And I'm just telling you mentally, that's

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>where I was at. It felt like I was going

0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>for a long time. So then I got one of

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.360
<v Speaker 1>those uh, you know, midpe farts where I was like,

0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>all right, all right, and and so I start too,

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and they're like, o oh shit, like this is not

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be just amid part I need to come.

0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I need to change course here. Okay, things were going down,

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if it was the iron. I

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that can like trigger anything either way.

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I've got the Crowns. I got problems, guys, I got problems.

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes things just are happening, well, things were happening in

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>this moment. So I flip around, right, no big deal,

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:36.959
<v Speaker 1>take care of business. Except just as I start, it

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>is so loud, the echo coming out of the toilet.

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know these hospital bathrooms they're they're just stone

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>like They're just stone. The echo it was just bouncing

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.719
<v Speaker 1>off the walls. The sound was I instantly was like,

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.319
<v Speaker 1>oh shit, does the door go all the way down,

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>because otherwise the sound is going to escape. I'm right

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 1>next to the front desk, Okay. I was very concerned

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 1>about this, so I kind of like did one of

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 1>those things where you try to like slow it down,

0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like you know, just you know a little bit, a

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.959
<v Speaker 1>little bit here, a little bit there. But it was

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.839
<v Speaker 1>tough because this was was borderline emergency situation, like I

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't leaving this bathroom without taking care of business. So

0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I start to go again, just echoes, echoes. So then

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I started to slow down again, and I'm like, I

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>could hear people. I'm like, do they hear me? And

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't quite hear what the guy was saying, but

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 1>I could hear the girls at the front desk and

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>she said, oh, this happens all the time. And I'm like,

0:12:50.320 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 1>oh shit, they're talking about me. People must go to

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.439
<v Speaker 1>this one stall right next to the front desk and

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:09.839
<v Speaker 1>just rip shit up and they probably can't hear it

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>all day long. I was I had zero intentions of

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:21.199
<v Speaker 1>doing this today, zero intentions of utilizing their restroom in

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>this way. It's it's it was an emergency, Like I'm

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>at the hospital. I'm sure, I'm sure worst things happened

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>in that building today, right, I'm sure of it. But

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>either way, I'm going, and I have to decide do

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I just keep going slow, you know, a little bit

0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>here and there, a little bits in there, or do

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I just full on go let it echo out the

0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>halls and then try to try to get out of there. Well,

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I do just that. It was like chorus, and then

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, well, what if I wait this out just

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit longer and then hopefully nobody like they'll

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:17.319
<v Speaker 1>think I already left and they'll just kind of like

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>forget that this happened. Right, I still hear a little

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>bit of chatter out there, and all right, I've waited

0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>long enough. I gotta I gotta try to get out

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>of here. Wash my hands, dry them up, open the door.

0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>There was a fucking guy. He's standing there waiting. We

0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.880
<v Speaker 1>made very brief eye contact, and it was the here's

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I looked away. He also looked away. I

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>know that. I know they were all they all could

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>hear me. I mean, it was echoing through the echoing,

0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Like it's supposed to be a private business situation, right,

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:09.800
<v Speaker 1>it's you're supposed to be able to do your thing.

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.960
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be so public. I there was

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 1>a waiting room full of people the front desk, three

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>four girls. I know they've been they were talking about it.

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I certainly they could hear it. So then I jet

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 1>out of there, right, I go to the right. I

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.720
<v Speaker 1>exit the waiting room immediately, and I started walking down

0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the hall. Well, I just happened to have another appointment upstairs,

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>follow up from a previous time I was there, and

0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I gotta figure out how to get up

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>there without going back and seeing those folks again. Well, that, uh,

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:57.160
<v Speaker 1>that's where I got. I got a little bit lost,

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and I had to circle back and to the elevator,

0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>which was in the waiting room of the very place

0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>that he's the restroom. So I just kept my head down,

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>pushed the button, went upstairs. It was fine, you know,

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>it was already it was already tough because I'm nervous

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>about putting the IV in. When you check in, they

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>weigh you, I'm, you know, five pounds from my heaviest

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I've ever been, so I'm like, well, this sucks. They

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>better be able to put the IV in, That's what

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking. I'm like, well, I've already got this weight problem,

0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like at least be able to put the IV in. Right.

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.680
<v Speaker 1>They do that, but then I almost shit myself right

0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 1>there at the front desk. It's awful. But then I

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:53.920
<v Speaker 1>go upstairs, right, and I go up to my follow

0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 1>up and then you know, they act like I haven't

0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 1>been there yet today, so they have to check my

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.480
<v Speaker 1>weight and my height and everything all over again. I

0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>had lost two pounds from when I arrived there at

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>eight o'clock. So maybe it wasn't all bad. Maybe it

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>was meant to be. It was just they were just

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to hype me up. My body was like, you

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 1>know what, you've been through a lot this morning, but

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna we're gonna make something right because I know

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 1>you were pretty down about that weight thing, so we're

0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:26.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna make it so you have to shit yourself and

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.639
<v Speaker 1>then we're gonna give you another test on what your

0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 1>weight is so that you know you can be vindicated

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit. I felt pretty good about that

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.719
<v Speaker 1>at least, and then once that appointment was over. Oh

0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.040
<v Speaker 1>my god, I got out of there. I got out

0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>of there. Johnny, I don't I don't know if you've

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.719
<v Speaker 1>ever I do you go to the doctor? I mean,

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I know, you stay in pretty good shape, you run

0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot. I don't think you lift, you stay in

0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:04.399
<v Speaker 1>pretty good shape. I mean I used to think, you know,

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't go to the doctor really unless you've got

0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a problem. And then once I got a problem and

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 1>everything started to become you know, reacting to the problem,

0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:21.399
<v Speaker 1>to the symptoms of your problem, It's really changed my

0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.160
<v Speaker 1>beliefs on the whole, the whole system, Like we should

0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:28.359
<v Speaker 1>all be going to the doctor from the get healthy

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:32.600
<v Speaker 1>or not, and they should be just offering you great

0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:36.280
<v Speaker 1>preventative care in ways so that you don't get sick.

0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there had to have been signs that I

0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 1>was gonna have crones disease, right, Maybe not, maybe there wasn't,

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 1>but you would think over all the years of the

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.440
<v Speaker 1>world and all the years of crones that there would

0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:54.760
<v Speaker 1>be some kind of like signs that they could see,

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 1>like what we we have seen that there is a

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>chance that you, sir, are not gonna be really well

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the rest of your life. And uh, here's what we

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>can do for you so that we can try to

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.920
<v Speaker 1>help you along the way so it doesn't get so

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.920
<v Speaker 1>bad that you're in constant chronic pain and you're gonna

0:19:14.920 --> 0:19:17.480
<v Speaker 1>shit yourself. Like that's Those are the things that I'm like, well,

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe they could have seen that coming, but maybe not.

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it takes it takes uh something to happen for

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.240
<v Speaker 1>them to be like, yep, you're right, check the box,

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:33.680
<v Speaker 1>You've got it. I don't know, but that was a

0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 1>wild one this morning. That was a wild one. Freaking

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, it's Thanksgiving week. Hopefully all of you have

0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:03.680
<v Speaker 1>some time with your family, with your friends, with your pets,

0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.680
<v Speaker 1>take a break from work. If you're in retail work,

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.639
<v Speaker 1>maybe even just a little bit harder. It's always different

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.920
<v Speaker 1>for everybody. That was one of the things about working

0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>in retails. As you head into like major holidays, and

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the people were like, oh, do you have to work

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>on Thanksgiving? And it's like, yeah, yeah, I am, I

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.400
<v Speaker 1>am working on Thanksgiving. Oh well, thank you so much

0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:33.040
<v Speaker 1>for being open, And I'm like, yeah, that's cool. Yep,

0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>my thanks is that you gave me the thanks. I

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.840
<v Speaker 1>now am going to enjoy that turkey, that cold turkey.

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Just a little bit more because you gave me that

0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:52.440
<v Speaker 1>thanks on Tuesday. How about new rule, we all just

0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.400
<v Speaker 1>like plan a little bit better so that we could

0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 1>get our stuff so that we can like all take

0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.280
<v Speaker 1>the day off like that would be. That would be

0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>extra special, Like you're gonna make it. You're gonna make it, honestly,

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 1>without the store being open for one day, right, you

0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.560
<v Speaker 1>would think, I mean there's really just there's there's not

0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:17.920
<v Speaker 1>that many that the store really absolutely needs to be closed. Okay,

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously it could be closed on Thanksgiving or at least

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>closed early. Maybe get those last minute things accents happen whatever.

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Then we've got Christmas Day. Let's take Christmas Day off. Okay,

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that's pretty standard. They probably all right, I'll give you

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.000
<v Speaker 1>election Day. We should probably figure out a way to

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>operate where Election Day is a national holiday and folks

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 1>can take that off. And then the last like big

0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 1>big one that I'm like, all right, we could probably

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 1>make this work. It'd be like Super Bowl Sunday, and

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 1>then you know, it's just gonna be another It's gonna

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:00.320
<v Speaker 1>be like Thanksgiving. Yeah, there's gonna be tons of tons

0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.720
<v Speaker 1>of food. But just plan it out right, just plan

0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.920
<v Speaker 1>it out so that you can get your food set

0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.680
<v Speaker 1>up ahead of time or have it ready to be prepared.

0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 1>You're just gonna change how you make it most likely,

0:22:13.400 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>or heat it up or whatever. But then everybody could say,

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 1>because they're too busy working. Yeah, a lot of work

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:32.720
