26:10
again. I'll keep telling the story.
26:12
This guy DJ crazy, 76 came to my life.
26:14
One night I told me about himself about a year ago in
26:18
March, he had a stroke and now you have to learn how to walk
26:21
talk again. So he's going on walks around
26:23
the neighborhood. What would take us perhaps 20
26:26
minutes now, take some double or triple that time.
26:30
So, on June 17th of this year, he will be a part of the walk.
26:33
A mile for the walk to end up left.
26:35
See, in Philadelphia legit, I've had them in my box live
26:39
streaming before we talked, I mentioned this last couple weeks
26:44
ago, I mentioned this before, and I was trying to invite him
26:47
to get him to speak more about the situation and his story, I
26:52
did say a few episodes ago, I think last episode that he
26:56
deactivated. Well, he's back around and I'm
27:02
gonna still going to talk about it.
27:03
He would love for me to talk about it.
27:06
I'm going to keep it until June 17th.
27:08
I'm messaging the Epilepsy Foundation.
27:10
We all know about that. I did that and they never
27:13
messaged me back, but here's the challenge for you.
27:17
I challenge you all to take a walk for DJ crazy.
27:20
Yes, I know he just buried your no longer a stranger to me.
27:24
We're talking again, but I'm a sucker for Underdog Story,
27:29

27:31
Y'all know my diabetes experiments.
27:34
Y'all see y'all heard. And the 3 episode 3 part episode

27:44
long? Go out for a walk.
27:45
Lock it in 30 days. In June 1982?
27:48
30 miles, perhaps you decide. I'm on six miles at the moment.
27:52
Yes, I know I'm missing some but I must six miles.
27:56
I try to walk as much as I can and I'm done like about six
28:00
