30
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: if you saw him about six and a half foot

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 2: red air.

32
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: And six hundred pounds back in today.

33
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that was twenty years ago.

34
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: It's a horrible lifestyle. Were you out on Yeah, well,

35
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I can see how somebody gets to

36
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: be six. It's a horrible lifestyle. Just so much time

37
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: out chasing stories and sitting and waiting on something and

38
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: all that waiting for a minute of filming. I could

39
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: see that. I could absolutely see that. Yeah, there used

40
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: to be a guy there. It's his name, Isaiah Carey.

41
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: Had had a guy, black guy's ball, black guy, kind

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: of young, dark skinned, funny, funny guy. And there was

43
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: a guy at Channel two. If I'm getting this right,

44
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: because I think I first met him with Phil Archer,

45
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: and he looked like like a young lous Avarice. He

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: looked like so, uh, my guess is he's Hispanic, tall

47
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: and thin, black, curly hair. I'm trying to think who

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: he looked like. Maybe a young Ricardo Montalband. I'm not

49
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: helping you, am.

50
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: I not tremendously.

51
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I don't know if he'd still

52
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: be there. He was young enough. I was doing a

53
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: lot of Channel two hits back in the day, from

54
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: one to eight. No not built by Esau fool. He's Vietnam.

00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,520

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,960

Speaker 1: is it not enough? No? You don't have any vices? Though?

74
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,080

Speaker 2: The people that talk about the addictive personality and things

81
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, there's there's definitely been some struggles

82
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: with uh, with other stuff since the food went away.

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh, I got it.

84
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: Definitely a real thing.

85
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Well, it probably replaced what food was for you.

86
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.

87
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: You know, if you were line up one thousand people,

88
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: ten thousand people, three hundred thousand people, and you were

89
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: to say who are six hundred pounds, and you were

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: to say one of you or somebody among you will

91
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: get down to two fifty, you would be the only

92
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: person that steps forward, Like that's crazy, that is that

93
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: is way more impressive than running an ultra marathon.

94
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of people that have the surgery

95
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: that do really, really well and then they put the

96
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: weight back on right. And my doctor was sort of

97
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: frank with me when I had the surgery and said, hey,

98
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: for the first couple of years, you can go back

99
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: to your old lifestyle, you can go back to the

100
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: way that you were eating, and you're still going to

101
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: lose weight. But after that, you're just going to put

102
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: it right back on. And you say, I think that's

103
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: what a lot of people struggle with when they have

104
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: the weight loss surgery is they see that they're still

105
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: losing weight and they start falling back into those old habits. Yeah,

106
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 2: and they think that oh, this is, you know, just

107
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: this fixed it?

108
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: What was your rotteness? What was the thing when you

109
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: were six hundred one pounds? It was your weakness?

110
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: Oh man, I for me to be that weight, it

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: was actually incredible how little food I ate. But the

112
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: stuff that I ate was entirely the wrong thing. All sugar, sweets, breads,

113
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: just no nutritional value at all.

114
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: What was the one thing? If you were to say

115
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: this was the thing I ate more than anything else,

116
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I'd be in trouble.

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: Probably like pizza and skittles.

118
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: Okay, you have good, good taste. Yeah, I could crush

119
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: some skittles from moment. I could crush some skills right now.

120
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: I love skittles. Good.

121
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: Got to be the purple bag.

122
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: You do any work with Amy Davis? Oh yeah, I

123
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: think she's adorable. Great, I think she's fantastic. She's just

124
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: tough as nails. You know better than I do. When

125
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: she barged in on that party and put a mic

126
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: in Sylvester Turner's face and he said, you are not nice,

127
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: I had to send her a text and say you

128
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: were very rude. Yeah, you are very You were there,

129
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: you remember. I had to tell her, my goodness, girl,

130
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: you are tough. I like that you got plucked. I

131
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: love that. I think she is so good those water stories.

132
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if you if you did any of

133
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: the photography on that stuff.

134
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: A little bit, A little bit.

135
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: I also liked miss Mario.

136
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: Oh, I love Mario.

137
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: You know who else loves Mario? Mario?

138
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: Mario is his own biggest saying.

139
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Mario is more narcissistic than I am. And that is

140
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: saying something. That is saying something. You know, he has

141
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: a background in boxing commentary. Did you know that?

142
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: I did not?

143
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Uh huh, but Mario. I think if Mario could chuck

144
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: it all and go do boxing commentary Howard Cosell style,

145
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: he would do it. He was that big in the

146
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: Sweet Science. He loved it. In fact, Chad Nakanishi U

147
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: Chad our executive producer, spent years at at Channel two

148
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: back in the day, and he's the one who found

149
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: a the audio of Mario calling a boxing fight. Yeah,

150
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: it blew my mind. He's an impressident give them the

151
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: star sale only a sound warehouse because he had kind

152
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: of the Gary p Nun love and fascination with Mexican

153
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: Texas stuff, which is not Mexico per se it's the

154
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: lore of Mexico in Texas, which is a whole different

155
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: thing because there's a lot, a lot of Mexican stuff

156
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: going on with his music over the years, a lot.

157
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: Of course that was the era too, it was it

158
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: was definitely the era. I had somebody to send me

159
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: an email, Ramon, I'm not sure I should read it

160
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: because there'll be somebody out there that'll be offended. You know,

161
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't like to offend people. Just okay, I'll read

162
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: it to you, but nobody else. So if you're not

163
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: named Ramon robleist, don't listen. This is just for Ramone.

164
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: He yeah, it's like the bottom of emails. Yes, this

165
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: message was recycled, non transferable, legally binding unless it's not.

166
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: Why are you doing that? Nobody's reading that crap. Oh,

167
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: it's at the bottom of the email. Hey, just so

168
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, I cleaned out your bank account. Well, why

169
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: did you steal all my money? Well, it says at

170
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: the bottom of my email, I could you responded, which

171
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: is a tacit implicit endorsement of saying. So this was

172
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: his email, And if you're listening and not supposed to

173
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: be so, stop for about ten seconds. He said, I

174
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: knew a woman that was so fat and when she

175
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: sat on the toilet, it took her five minutes to

176
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: line up holes. That's awful. That's not something to be.

177
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: That's not a nice thing to say. That's not something

178
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: that you should be, you know, sharing because it's not

179
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: funny or uplifting. So I sent it to the Aggie

180
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: plumber and he said, that's hilarious, mostly because there's a

181
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: kernel of truth to it. Unrelated, I swear to you.

182
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: I had a customer call me one time and she

183
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: requested a toilet with the lower water level in the

184
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: bowl because her husband's nuts were hanging down the water.

185
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: So I responded back with that clip from the San

186
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: Francisco news station, we too low, and he sent back,

187
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: throw them over your shoulder for you to cut down.

188
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta figure if you're a plumber, you

189
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: better have a good sense of humor because you've pretty

190
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: much seen it all. At that point, friend of mine

191
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: rights who lost My friend lost I think three hundred pounds.

192
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: He said, things that don't warn you about Before a

193
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: person has a huge weight loss Number one, they usually

194
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: develop gallstones. I just found out that I did. That's

195
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,239
Speaker 1: this Guy Brett, did you get gallstones?

196
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: No, not yet.

197
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: Okay, here's next on your list. Iron deficiency. Anemia is

198
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: almost universal. Yep, okay. Number three. You must take calcium

199
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: and vitamins for the rest of your life or your

200
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: bones will demineralize.

201
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 2: I haven't none of that, but probably something to keep

202
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: an eye on or checked.

203
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of fat people out there right now

204
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: going oh, hell, I'll just stay fat. Oh yeah, And

205
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: then finally you end up having it throw away all

206
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: your clothes. But going from five X to XL is awesome.

207
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: So many more choices.

208
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: That is very true.

209
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,520

210
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,319

220
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: The company that I was with, they were cutting hours

221
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: and cutting back schedules and things like that. I've got

222
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,360

225
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,720

226
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: stay with them instead of being out on the street.

227
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,840

Speaker 1: you did Gastric bypass? Brett, Yes, strict. So it doesn't

293
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: seem like people do that as much as they used to.

294
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's because of ozembic. But when did

297
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Good for you. Because we all have habits. You know,

298
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: my mom ate too much, my brother ate too much.

299
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: I ate too much. My dad never ate too much.

300
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: He just there. There's personality types. And if you are

301
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: a person who carries extra weight, it's because of your

302
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: habits and your patterns and all that. And breaking the

303
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: habits that you have is a very difficult thing. That

304
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: is That is congratulations. That is a very very difficult thing.

305
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: And it's not it's an ongoing thing. Obviously, you can

306
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: relapse tomorrow. Who did your very as.

00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: was that was ten times more painful.

312

Speaker 2: gas you bypass was in two thousand and nine, twenty twelve,

317
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: I had fourteen point nine pounds of skin taken from

318
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: my stomach, and then twenty fifteen I had another fourteen

319
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: point six pounds of skin from my arms and chest.

320
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 2: You know, I've still got the skin on my legs

321
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: and back and things like that. But you know, cosmetic

322
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: surgery is pretty pricey.

323
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, So the how do they do that? Because

324
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: I understand the concept of life assumption, but how do

325
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: they take off skin? I mean it seems like to

326
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: be like a burn victim or something what.

327
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: So for the for the stomach, they sort of cut

328
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: you in an inverted tea. They'll start like in the

329
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: middle of your chest and go down a little below

330
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: your waistline, and then all the way around your hips

331
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 2: on both sides, and they just kind of take out

332
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 2: everything from there and then sinch everything up and tighten

333
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: it up. And on the arms, they they cut underneath

334
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: the arm uh sort of just past your elbow and

335
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: uh all the way down to your armpit and then

336
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: down to meet that original line from the from the

337
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 2: first surgery, and and cut everything off from there. And

338
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: when when you when you've got as much to take

339
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: off as I did, they basically just go in and

340
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: and cut everything off and this sort of rebuild you.

341
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: Wow, so you had thirty pounds of skin removed and

342
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: you still haven't gone below the wais you still have

343
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: your legs to do yeap and the back. Have you

344
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: been given a price on what that would be?

345
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: It's about ten grand a pop for each surgery and.

346
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: You need two separate surgeries.

347
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. So they don't want the cosmetic surgeon that I

348
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 2: was working with in Alabama.

349
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: Sort of.

350
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: Due to risk of you know, blood loss and complications, infections,

351
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: things like that. They don't want to do more than

352
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: sort of one section at a time. Insurance paid for

353
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: the stomach and then arms and chests were that was

354
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 2: out of pocket. I think it was about fourteen grand

355
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: h worth it. Yeah. Absolutely.

356
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: How long did it take? I mean I just can't

357
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: image how painful that had to be. How long did

358
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: it take?

359
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: The first one I think I was out of work

360
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: for uh like six weeks, the second when I was

361
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: out for four weeks.

362
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: Wow, that's intense. I mean the only thing I would

363
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: compare this to, I would imagine is a burn victim,

364
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: because the skin is sensitive and and you've got so Wow,

365
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: that is uh.

366
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 2: I never you Yeah, you're you're wrapped up tight like

367
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: a mummy with with ace bandages, and you've got you know,

368
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: drain lines coming out of you, uh, you know, to

369
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: drain off the EXCESSI that stuff like that, Well, it

370
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: makes it hard to get comfortable when you're when you're.

371
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: I'd like to look at it, though, Like I like

372
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: to see cis busted and and things like that.

373
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: That's just a way pictures I can send you.

374
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: Oh yes, let's please send me an email when we're done.

375
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: I would really enjoy seeing that. Yeah, absolutely, Well, good

376
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: for you, Brett. That is that is I cannot convey

377
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: to you properly how impressed I am over that. And

378
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate how difficult that is to do. And I

379
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: know you do better than anybody, but most people can't.

380
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: I don't think most people can understand how difficult that

381
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: would be to change your life patterns so dramatically that

382
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: you lose that kind of way so when you so

383
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: Obviously the bariatric surgery doesn't allow a lot of food

384
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: to pass through there, but some people kind of push

385
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: through that. Were you the lap band, no.

386
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: I had the full bypass. Okay, I think the lap

387
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: band and the gastric sleeve and you know you mentioned

388
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 2: the ozmbic and things like that. I think those are

389
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: becoming more popular. But as much as I had to lose,

390
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 2: you know, the real full gas about that, I think

391
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: was the way to go at least that's you know,

392
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: coming from the doctors.

393
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: And then how did that change? You know, you know,

394
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: when you ate, did you feel you know, did you

395
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: feel indigestion or did you feel stomach pain? Or how

396
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: did that change? What were the things we wouldn't expect?

397
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 2: You definitely notice when you eat too much. It's just

398
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: that that feeling of fullness, you know, that that that

399
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: uncomfortable you know, think after Thanksgiving when you you know,

400
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: sit back and got to take the belt off a

401
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: couple of notches, things like that. It's it's it's pretty

402
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: easy to get to that point. And of course might've

403
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: been you know, sixteen years ago at this point. So

404
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 2: it's I think I've managed to stretch out my stomach

405
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 2: a little bit and I can eat a little bit

406
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: closer to a normal meal.

407
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: But do you live in fear of getting that like

408
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: that again?

409
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely? Absolutely, that's you know, and that you asked me earlier.

410
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: You know what I was at now, and I don't know.

411
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: I'm around two fifty, but I don't weigh myself, you know,

412
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: daily or weekly anything like that, just because it becomes

413
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: so easy to focus on the number and say, well,

414
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: I got to get back to where I was. I

415
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 2: got to get back to where I was, and that

416
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: can consume you. Do you exercise, you know, not like

417
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: going to the gym, you know, three times a week

418
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: or anything like that. But I'm pretty active, you know,

419
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: my job makes me be active a lot of the time.

420
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: Who do you work with the most over there?

421
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm a general assignment photographer, so I'm spread

422
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 2: out between most of the reporters. I've got a shoot

423
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: here in the next couple of minutes with Lisa Hernandez,

424
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 2: one of our anchors at the Humane Society. We're doing

425
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 2: our out of the Week segment.

426
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, people love that stuff. It's crazy

427
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: they love that Shoff Brett, you are an inspiration. There's

428
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: somebody that heard what you said that's about to change

429
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: their their life because of you. Thank you for calling

430
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: my man Felberry's show, The News Compact Desk. Bro It

431
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 1: simply works better.

432
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: Good Do you remember popping fish dough?

433
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 4: I can't say that I did, but I do remember

434
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: the pillberry dough boy and you mash him in the

435
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 4: belly and he giggled.

436
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Is that the same means?

437
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: I do have a vague memory of Captain Kirk on

438
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 4: TV talking about some kind of olio that he say

439
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 4: contain many probably unsaturated fats. I don't know what that

440
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 4: word means, but I do know a girl who was

441
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 4: named probably unsaturated Fats Jeter, and apparently she changed it

442
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: to something I think she never goes by, Felicia Budway.

443
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 4: I don't blame or manage putting that on a job application,

444
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 4: the expecting somebody call your bas shoes.

445
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, See, if I can find that

446
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: Mac is doing a good thing, Mattress Max, I'm gonna

447
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: get what as redundant he's always Hold on a second,

448
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you, Mattress Mac's cell phone. I want

449
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: you to text him and tell him he's a good dude. Uh.

450
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's see, I got Eddie Martinez reminded me to uh

451
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: mention Max thing he's got going on the weekend, which

452
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: feels a little below Eddie's paygrade. But you know what,

453
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: I'm kind of the opinion. When you get to a

454
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: certain level of management, there's nothing left to do. It's

455
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: like generals in the army. They're sitting around. Remember Petraeus

456
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: was sitting around banging that Lebanese girl. Or I mean

457
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: he's not shooting at anybody or getting shot at it.

458
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: You know, not a whole lot to do. I think

459
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: when you get to a certain level as as an executive,

460
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: you just sit around. You come up with stuff like,

461
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: oh what am I gonna make everybody else do? And

462
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: then you send out an email or have a meeting,

463
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: and then I guess you go play golf or something, right,

464
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: and then here we are slaving over a hot mic

465
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 1: five hours to day, just grinding away like coffee roasters.

466
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: So Mac is doing a deal with Puncho Claws at

467
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: Gallery Furniture at six thousand and six forty five North

468
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: between Tidwell and Parker from nine A to nine P.

469
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: This Sunday is a toy donation. I actually think these

470
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: are great. Camp Hope does one as well. Wherever you

471
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: take your toy, I think there's something to be said

472
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,479
Speaker 1: for that A kid doesn't choose to be poor, and

473
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: I do have a heart for such a thing. Were

474
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: you poor?

475
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: Mom?

476
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: Oh, you weren't nod in your head like you feel

477
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: so you couldn't pay attention. I believe that I went

478
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: to school with some kids that were by by the

479
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: standards of a lot of people, we were poor, but

480
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: by orange standards we were not poor. But I did

481
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: go to school with people who were poor, who got

482
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: nothing for Christmas. Nothing. My mother told the story that

483
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: her she called it a car coat. I don't know

484
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: where that term comes from, but she had a coat

485
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: she had outgrown, and my uncle Preston, her younger brother,

486
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: got it for Christmas. That was what was presented to

487
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: him on Christmas, was his older sister's hand me down coat.

488
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: And I know that story was indelibly burned into her

489
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: mind because it came up on occasion like that's how

490
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: poor they were. And you know, the anticipation of a gift.

491
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's entitlement, but the anticipation of a gift and

492
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the thrill you get from that gift. You know, there

493
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: are certain things that just if nothing else you could,

494
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: You could be as hard hearted as Jimmy Pappus, and

495
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: even that would touch your heart, you know what I'm saying.

496
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: Even that, what would pierce your old heart. That is

497
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: this Saturday at the I forty five Gallery Furniture, Mac

501
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,520

504
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: four nineteen sixty three. Two eight one eight four four

505
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three. Well, just think of the year that

506
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: Kennedy was killed, and think of two eight one, which

507
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: was the second Houston UH area code. And all you

508
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: have to remember is eight four to four because you

509
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: got two eight one, which is what what is that

510
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: an inappropriate thing to say?

511
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 3: Why?

512
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: How else do you remember nineteen sixty three? That's how

513
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: I think of things, all right, So you got nineteen

514
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: sixty three. Okay, you don't want to think of the

515
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: year Kennedy was killed. Oh you thought he was killed

516
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: in sixty two. Oh okay, No, it was sixty three.

517
00:28:58,400 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: So you got the two eight one, which is the

518
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: alter to seventy one three. And then at the end

519
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: of it. You got the year Kennedy was killed. So

520
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: all you have to remember is eight four to four

521
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: two eight one eight four four nineteen sixty three. What

522
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: four plus four is a h ramone? How do you

523
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: come up with such stupid ways to conflate the number

524
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: two eight one eight four four nineteen sixty three. That's Mac.
