You 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.199 can use VPN to unlock movies and shows that are 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:21.719 available in other countries.

Like I'm you know, freaking with 0:46:45.719 --> 0:46:46.080 this thing. 0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:50.520 But then, like everyone you go, uh, it gets harder 0:46:50.560 --> 0:46:52.359 and harder because your body kind of gets wear down. 0:46:52.440 --> 0:46:55.880 Like chemo is like we're gonna kill, We're gonna go 0:46:55.920 --> 0:46:57.960 in there, We're gonna kill as many cancer cells as possible. 0:46:58.480 --> 0:47:00.160 But that comes along the way, is. 0:47:00.200 --> 0:47:02.000 Gonna do this, and then as soon as your body 0:47:02.120 --> 0:47:07.120 recovers all your your white blood cells and your red 0:47:07.160 --> 0:47:09.080 blood cells and your platelets, like as soon as they 0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:10.960 come back to a number, then they hit you again. 0:47:11.040 --> 0:47:13.160 So it's like a constant battle to get as much 0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:17.120 chemo in as possible and keep your body, get your 0:47:17.120 --> 0:47:20.560 body back to a healthy, healthy place. And like that's 0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:22.880 kind of the race that they do to kill all 0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:27.440 the cancer cells and then keep you. It's essentially poison, 0:47:27.560 --> 0:47:29.600 so you know, you're just trying to poison and kill 0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:35.040 those cells off and maintain the body being alive. And 0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:39.600 uh so progressively got worse as we went went harder, 0:47:39.680 --> 0:47:41.839 like after the first round and then use your hair, 0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:44.120 and then after that, now you have to start getting 0:47:44.120 --> 0:47:47.520 plate the transfusions and red blood cell transfusions, and uh. 0:47:48.920 --> 0:47:50.000 Yeah, it was really gnarly. 0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:51.920 Man. I was basically going to MD Anderson every day 0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:55.319 for like ten months because in between, in between rounds, 0:47:55.320 --> 0:47:56.640 you got to go back and you got to get 0:47:57.560 --> 0:48:00.759 certain certain shots to help your immune system, or infusions 0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:03.560 help your red blood cells or your platelets, and there's 0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:05.839 just always something. You take a million pills every day, 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:08.440 twice a day, and it's brutal. 0:48:08.440 --> 0:48:10.120 It was a lot. Thankfully, my my. 0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:13.759 My mom, she came down to Houston and she kind 0:48:13.760 --> 0:48:15.400 of moved in with me during that time, and I 0:48:15.480 --> 0:48:18.000 had some time back back in San Diego, and that's 0:48:18.040 --> 0:48:22.160 actually where me and Megan got to spend spend a 0:48:22.160 --> 0:48:24.200 lot of time too. She was working for the Chargers 0:48:24.239 --> 0:48:27.160 at the time. And when you're going through your stuff 0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:27.319 in the. 0:48:27.320 --> 0:48:27.920 Hospital, like. 0:48:30.360 --> 0:48:32.319 You can't sleep because they're coming in there and they're 0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:35.920 poking you or taking your pulse or everything's deep in 0:48:36.000 --> 0:48:37.480 you know what I mean, it's just terrible. So I 0:48:37.560 --> 0:48:39.440 told her that she was working for the chargers, and 0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:41.680 so she would get up super early and just come 0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:43.320 hang out of the hospital with me while I was 0:48:43.360 --> 0:48:46.200 going through it, and we would just be talking super 0:48:46.239 --> 0:48:47.799 early in the morning before she had to get there. 0:48:47.880 --> 0:48:52.800 And because before I got diagnosed that off season we 0:48:52.840 --> 0:48:54.040 had we had started hung out a. 0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:55.440 Little bit and talk a little more. That's kind of 0:48:55.440 --> 0:48:56.360 where we got re kindled. 0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:57.520 And then I went through all this stuff and I 0:48:57.600 --> 0:49:00.680 went home to UCSD to do that round and that's 0:49:00.680 --> 0:49:04.600 when she started coming in the morning and were like, 0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:08.680 I don't know, something brought me back home to do this. 0:49:08.840 --> 0:49:10.520 I'm not in Houston right now doing it. You're working 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:14.279 for the Chargers.

That's how they do it. 0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:26.480 They don't stick you with an IV every time, because 0:53:27.320 --> 0:53:29.480 it's insane you're getting IV's all the time. So they 0:53:29.520 --> 0:53:33.239 put a pickline, which is like a permanent IV and 0:53:33.640 --> 0:53:36.480 uh that goes straight to a big artery in your 0:53:36.520 --> 0:53:39.520 heart so that can handle the chemo because these little veins, 0:53:39.800 --> 0:53:41.880 the chemo will just burn them up, and so like 0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:43.360 potent and so you. 0:53:43.400 --> 0:53:44.040 Have a pickline. 0:53:44.080 --> 0:53:45.600 But during and when you have a pickline, and you 0:53:45.680 --> 0:53:48.400 can't lift heavy weights, so the whole time like like 0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:50.959 lifting weights with the other with the other arms, trying 0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:52.400 to do it, but you don't want to pop the 0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:55.200 pick line out of place because you got to go 0:53:55.280 --> 0:53:58.840 put another one in and just avoid them, avoid the 0:53:58.880 --> 0:54:02.799 hospital at all costs. And you know, you're feeling weak, 0:54:02.920 --> 0:54:05.480 feeling hungover, feeling like a cancer patient, and you're like 0:54:05.600 --> 0:54:07.160 looking at myself in the mirror, like, I don't know 0:54:07.200 --> 0:54:09.320 how the hell I'm gonna get back to playing.

I hear this rumor and 1:15:08.400 --> 1:15:10.960 he's watching, Like yo, this, this dude inspires me to 1:15:11.000 --> 1:15:11.559 go a little harder. 1:15:11.600 --> 1:15:13.040 Sometimes it's not even, but it's not. 1:15:13.080 --> 1:15:14.200 I don't look at it. I don't look at you 1:15:14.240 --> 1:15:17.000 and go that's David Questionber, he'd be cancer. Like I 1:15:17.640 --> 1:15:19.160 just see the way you handle yourself on a day 1:15:19.160 --> 1:15:21.640 to day basis, and like you know me, and you 1:15:21.720 --> 1:15:24.200 know I'm like, mister, I'm pretty much bipolar in a 1:15:24.240 --> 1:15:26.040 lot of ways. Like there will be days of my pies, 1:15:26.080 --> 1:15:30.479 of days of I'm pretty down low during practice, but 1:15:30.520 --> 1:15:33.320 I'm still like fop this or whatever. And it's like 1:15:34.439 --> 1:15:36.519 consistency as a human being is one of the hardest 1:15:36.560 --> 1:15:37.240 things to obtain. 1:15:37.880 --> 1:15:38.240 And like. 1:15:39.840 --> 1:15:41.800 To watch you go through what you did it's not 1:15:41.960 --> 1:15:43.240 like the first thing on my mind every time I 1:15:43.280 --> 1:15:46.360 see you.

You know, 1:15:51.640 --> 1:15:53.720 it doesn't matter how many snaps of person plays, that 1:15:53.760 --> 1:15:56.560 stuff weighs on you. And so it's it's good to 1:15:56.640 --> 1:15:59.960 have around. It's really it's it's it's important. 1:16:00.120 --> 1:16:01.640 Do I just love it, you know what I mean? 1:16:01.680 --> 1:16:04.519 I love the group we got saw a group.

I told Taylor too, 1:18:57.720 --> 1:19:00.160 I was like, you guys ended up losing when he 1:19:00.240 --> 1:19:02.200 cleared the air and said he wasn't really going to 1:19:02.320 --> 1:19:04.000 he was just trying to give us something on the bus. 1:19:04.040 --> 1:19:05.040 He didn't want to let us down. 1:19:05.080 --> 1:19:09.040 And sure enough, I can't said that the boys lost 1:19:09.080 --> 1:19:10.960 and that's I think that's what happened. 1:19:11.439 --> 1:19:12.000 You know what I mean. 1:19:13.520 --> 1:19:15.120 You should have kept saying, yeah, I'm ready to cut 1:19:15.160 --> 1:19:16.840 this thing off after we went to beat the Chiefs. 1:19:17.160 --> 1:19:19.360 You guys want to you know, we should have beat 1:19:19.360 --> 1:19:21.880 the Chiefs too. Like the way that that game went. 1:19:22.200 --> 1:19:24.160 It's crazy because week ten, we were like up by 1:19:24.240 --> 1:19:26.000 ten or they were up by ten and we ended 1:19:26.040 --> 1:19:27.880 up winning.

It was so like that that the run, 1:19:46.200 --> 1:19:47.800 I mean the whole game. You never lose a game 1:19:47.880 --> 1:19:51.320 by like one play, right, but like the run going 1:19:51.400 --> 1:19:55.120 into half that Mahomes had, they got they got the 1:19:55.200 --> 1:19:59.920 ball back half because they were up by was it 1:20:00.120 --> 1:20:03.680 time it was seventeen seventeen.
