  Speaker 1: Had a weird experience this morning, pretty weird. I'm sitting
• 0:35
  there doing my work, like three in the morning, I
• 0:39
  think it was four four o'clock this morning, sitting there
• 0:41
  at the computer, and it's downstairs in the dining room.
• 0:45
  And now I'm used to having my kid, my oldest son,
• 0:49
  little Bill, sort of up and around at that time
• 0:53
  of the day. He works at the Haunted House, thear factory,
• 0:57
  and then he comes home at I don't know, midnight
• 0:59
  or one, and then he's usually up for a while,
• 1:02
  and so a lot of times he's still up while
• 1:04
  I'm working, but I hear noise from the back, the
• 1:09
  back door and it opens, and I go, what the hell?
• 1:14
  And in comes my son and his girlfriend. And I said,
• 1:20
  what's going on here? And he said, I sort of
• 1:23
  scared me. He said, I don't mean to scare you.
• 1:25
  I just uh, we just we've been up at the hospital.
• 1:29
  What what's going on? So, so apparently his girlfriend, she
• 1:36
  was acting in the Haunted House last night. Now she
• 1:39
  doesn't live here in Utah, but she's here for a visit.
• 1:41
  And she used to work at fear Factory and so
• 1:43
  she kind of a guest appearance. And apparently she hit
• 1:49
  her head and and cut it open a little bit
• 1:52
  and got a concussion and and but and they had
• 1:56
  to go to the emergency room. But here here they
• 1:59
  are walking in into the house and she's still got
• 2:02
  on all of this monster makeup, Like I'm going what
• 2:09
  and there's she said, hell, and here's a picture and can.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: They tell what blood is real?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And what? Well?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I know, I know she they she showed me a
• 2:18
  picture on her phone and there's blood running down the
• 2:21
  front of her face and she said, that's that's real. God, Okay,
• 2:27
  it's gonna be okay. I guess a concussion though, you
• 2:30
  have you have to watch for a while. And yeah,
• 2:33
  but you've had several heavy Regina.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Uh, I haven't had several. I've had one concussion, but
• 2:39
  it was a serious.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Real I had.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I had a bunch of concussions when I
• 2:43
  was a kid, and I don't recall anybody doing anything
• 2:47
  about it other than saying sleep it off.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: No, they're like, especially with kids, like my kids have
• 2:53
  had them in sports and stuff, and they're they take
• 2:56
  it very seriously.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They didn't when I was a kid. I had one.
• 3:00
  I remember so bad that I threw up.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's bad.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And they said. The first concussion I sort of
• 3:07
  remember having. I was probably in the third grade and
• 3:10
  it had one of those big, tall slides out on
• 3:12
  the playground, and I don't remember, but apparently I was
• 3:16
  on top of that slide and doing something stupid and
• 3:20
  fell off of the slide, the top of the slide
• 3:23
  down onto the asphalt, which is, you know, what they
• 3:27
  had for playgrounds back in the day of the school.
• 3:29
  And the only thing I remember is sitting on the
• 3:32
  steps of the school, going, why am I sitting here?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: And then they told me that, and a teacher came
• 3:41
  out and said they told the teacher what had happened,
• 3:43
  and the teacher said, well, you know, you better go home,
• 3:48
  and they and they sent me home walking. Yeah, well
• 3:53
  it was about a fifteen minute walk, go home, you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Better go home. Okay, that's not what you do, is it.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: No? And then I've had other concussions, never went to
• 4:06
  the doctor.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Well that explains so much.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I you know, I sometimes wonder, you know, you know,
• 4:12
  I mean I used to say I would probably. I mean,
• 4:15
  I'm fairly intelligent, but I bet I'd be a genius
• 4:18
  if it weren't for growing up with leaded gasoline and
• 4:20
  having about six or seven concussions.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't be doing this joke.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Oh god, no, be doing something productive. And you know,
• 4:30
  I'm surprised any of us survived, honestly, if you.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Take helmets and seat belts, and you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Know all the times that I rode in the back
• 4:38
  of a pickup truck.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, no seat belts, no seat belts.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Speaking of haunted houses, there was one time in high
• 4:44
  school where about ten of us climbed in the back
• 4:49
  in the bed of a pickup truck and were driven
• 4:52
  to Salt Lake to go to a haunted house on
• 4:55
  a Saturday, just on the freeway.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Like, well, this was fun. Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: We had a cattle rack occasionally that was on the
• 5:05
  back of the pickup truck. You know that you could
• 5:07
  slide in the holes that weren't there, and I would
• 5:11
  stand up on top of the cattle rack while the
• 5:13
  car was going, Yeah, while the truck was going down
• 5:15
  the down the highway.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: And of course there's the school. Uh you know playgrounds
• 5:23
  all blacktop yep.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I h they don't they do something that
• 5:32
  that's kind of padded now for the school playground.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Rubbers, some sort of soft thing. Yeah, our kids are soft. Now,
• 5:40
  that's right.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: God, it's got to get a couple of concussions to No, that's.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Not what I'm saying.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: I'm saying I wish I had that stuff. I probably
• 5:50
  would have played a little rougher if I had a
• 5:52
  soft place to land.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: You know, when I had.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Really bad concussion, I remember the one that caused me
• 5:59
  to like it made me sick to my stomach and
• 6:01
  I threw up. I got it because here here, here's
• 6:04
  how do we survive. I used to think this was
• 6:07
  really fun. There's a grocery store down at the bottom
• 6:10
  of our street, maybe three blocks away, and there were
• 6:12
  delivery trucks you know. And they had like on the
• 6:17
  back of the delivery truck a big wide bumper. So
• 6:20
  when the delivery guy had come out and get in
• 6:21
  the truck to start to go, I would jump on
• 6:23
  the back of the bumper to ride the truck. And
• 6:26
  it was, you know, ride, and it took me up
• 6:29
  past my past my house, and I jumped off while
• 6:33
  the truck was still going, and the driver didn't know
• 6:35
  I was there. And I jumped off not realizing what
• 6:39
  momentum was and on the pan and then just went
• 6:43
  backwards full on the back of my head on the
• 6:46
  pavement of the street. Just just kind of knocked me out.
• 6:50
  I threw up, went in the house, told my mother
• 6:52
  what I did. She yelled at me, go to bed,
• 6:55
  Go to bed, you know, sleep it off again.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: This explains so much.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to do that, my mother yelling at me. Not that.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Oh no, the decision like maybe this would be a
• 7:09
  fun thing.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: It was. It was fun, but.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Not but not thinking through. No, No, you know, that's
• 7:16
  that's what I'm talking about.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It it's straight fun in the I forget what we
• 7:21
  used to call it. In the winter at the church
• 7:23
  parking lot and people would pull in their cars out
• 7:26
  and some of them would let you do it, and
• 7:28
  some of them you'd just hook on real quick, grab
• 7:31
  onto the bump. But you probably did this, and you know,
• 7:33
  and and slide in the snow on your shoes and
• 7:36
  sometimes if the street.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Was packed, you could get pretty far.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I was the one that was driving the car. Oh,
• 7:43
  Brian Carson was the one hanging on to the back.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, Brian, I'm not doing that.
