  Speaker 3: details of what happened. Yes, he from the phone calls
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that we had with him, his voice was hoarse, Oh yes,
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: sometimes didn't make sense. And he's getting pictures in the hospital.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Texting that hilarious things.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: We were confused, worried, but in high spirits because Scott
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: was being funny.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a hell. So like I had one
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: day off after holidays made here and to January fourth,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: January fifth, had a day off and I was just
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: like ah. And then January sixth, I wake up with
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the flu. Right, I have that bad flu, and it
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: was nasty, and it stuck around for two weeks and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I was virtually bedridden. So I'm night quilling it every
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: night and all this kind of stuff. So then I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: get over it after two weeks, right, And it was
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it was a tough two weeks, right, And so'm I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: tried to limp back to the gym and I leave
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: early because I just have no energy. But I got
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a half hour and I came home and then I'm
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: like walking in the hallway to my media room and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: my left back behind my ribcage started really like this
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: pain started coming on, and I just tried to kind
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of fight a little bit and stretch and breathe a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: little bit, but it just kept getting worse and worse
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and worse, and it was unbearable. And my wife had
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: just come in, and I got up and tried to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: walk into the living room and I kind of collapsed
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: on the couch and there, and she goes, what is
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: wrong with you? And I said, I don't know, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I am in terrible pain here. This is horrible. And
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: then I stood up and tried to walk back into
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the media room. She goes sit down, and I said, no,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to the media. So so she
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: followed me in there and I just went down on
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the floor and she goes, I am calling an ambulance.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So she called nine to one. Wanna you know, the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: ambulance showed up and they're like, it's your kidney. It's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: probably a kidney stone. It's probably that we don't know.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: So they you know, they they ripped my shirt off
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and they shaved my chest and actually it's in the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: shape of a heart. I think a little bit of
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a hair chest, but but it's like, so they shave
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: there's a heart thing. They showed up to me, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I was just in horrible pain. So they put all
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: these you know, you know, wires in me, and you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: know what do they call them contacts? And there's like
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: eight of them all over my chest, stuck to my chest,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and so they check in my heart. There's like ten paramedics.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: There's like tons of them. And in the media room,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I have, you know, I have pictures of me and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the family at in front of Luke's and you know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and it's obvious, you know, and there's like articles that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I've framed and and there's like photos of you guys
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and and so the so the so the girls are like,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: oh my god, that's Luke.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Oh oh I came to your house. Yes, We're like,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: this is Luke from Gilbourg.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Girls. Yes, oh, but totally professional. And and the thing
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: is is, I didn't notice that they were noticing it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: until we got into the ambulance and after they had
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: given me, you know, they gave me some very very
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: strong pain medication, a very small percentage of something, and man,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I tell you, I went from agony to ecstasy in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: about two sevens and I was flying high.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So they put me in the gurney. They wheel me
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to the you know, and I'm like holding my son's hand,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and he's worried. I'm saying, hey man, I'm good. That's
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: probably just a kidney stone and no big deal. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: hey man, I'm feeling good. Don't worry. So they get
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in the car and follow the ambulance to the hospital.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And so we're in the back of the ambulance and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they are these two female paramedics and they just they're
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: smiling at me, like smiling back at them.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: It's I'm as high as doctor John. It would stop
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you so like the original one, and and they said,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you know, I know this is probably not the time.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It's probably really inappropriate that I grew up watching you.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I just love that show that I said, yeah, man,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: it was just it's just such a fun time, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you know, so we're just talking about that and we
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: were just laughing and they're telling me stories about how
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they grew up watching the show, the whole thing. And
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: we get to the hospital. They wheel me into the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: emergency room and so then the intake nurses are like,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: is that who I think? It is? Like, yeah, now,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: totally professional. They you know, I'm not saying that they
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you know, we're not being there. Completely professional. They got
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: me in and then it's like the selfie started happening
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: because I'm high as a kite. I'm feeling great, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so it was kind of my idea, said, come on,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: let's do some selfies. Man, I will record this moment.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Let's just do it. So it was like it's just
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: this happy, joyous, celebratory time and I and my wife
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and son coming and like, what's going on? I said,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I was just having a little mini convention over here.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Everything's good. And they put me in a temporary room.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: They take my blood pressure and there is and there's
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a They then they they take me in to get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the imaging. It's a it's an abdominal CT. So they
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I get the abdominal CT. The results come back and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it's like the doctor comes in and says, you got
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: a kidney stone that's ten millimeters. It's massive, and we think,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: but but we think, we think, and it's just dropped
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: out of the kidney and it's sort of entering the urator.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: You know, the tubes that come out of your kidneys
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: are the urators that go into your gallbladder and then
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the tube that is then the urethraat is connected to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the gallbladder, which is goes through your you know, your
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: tally whacker.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: How can you can you size how big it was
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: with your hand?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I was going to look up by like how much
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: is ten cents?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It's like a little bigger than a nine millimeter.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Bullet, A little bigger than a nine millimeter That doesn't
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: nine milimeter bullet.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's probably let me see, let me see,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: do I have something like this big? No, maybe a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: little smaller.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, probably like palm size. It's like like a little
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: bit size like blueberry.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, yes, I think that's probably pretty accurate. Yes, okay,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: but still anyway, so that that so I wasn't feeling it.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I wasn't feeling it at that point because I had
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the good meds. Like in the hospital they can give
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you the good meds, the prescription medic cas, the hydro
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: codone and all that stuff. That is good stuff, but
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: it's not as powerful, so they can't prescribe the morphine
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: or the delauded I think over the counter they can't
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: do that anyway, So they sent me home. I go home,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you know, because I was dealing with it, and the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: meds had worn off, and I was feeling pretty good anyway,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: sleep a little restlessly that night. Next day was a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: little rough. I'm starting to feel a little pain, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you know, had a rough night. Had to you know,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I don't want to wake my wife up and keep
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: her up all night, So I just went down in
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the media room, got in the couch, like a really big, cushy,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: comfortable couch in the media room. So I just went
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in there and and just crashed out and didn't get
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of sleep. I was just in pain, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: so I went in on a Tuesday the emergency room.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: By Thursday, I had a doctor's appoint with urologists. So
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: got in the car in the afternoon Thursday, and I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: went into the back seat because I went in too
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: much pain to get into the front seat, because that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: meant I had to walk around to the back of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the car on the other side. So I get into
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the back seat and we drive, you know, ten minutes
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to the doctor's office, and I'm literally in tears. I'm
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in so much pain.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Oh wow.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm like crying and I'm wailing and I'm just
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it was horrible. So we get into the doctor's office
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and there's a ton of people in there and I'm
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: just broken. I mean, I'm just like, you know, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: you know. So we had to wait a little bit,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: but we get in there. Doctor comes in, he goes,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: you need to get I'm gonna call the hospital right now.

• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to examine you right now. I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on. So I we go to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the hospital. They're waiting for me. They get me in.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: They get me in a room and I'm admitted and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: then they start giving me the good drugs so that
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I can and just chill. And that's Thursday, and they
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: know what they the procedure they're gonna have to do,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and they don't have the laser because they're gonna go in.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: They're gonna go in my tally whacker and go through
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the urethra, go through the gallbladder, go through the urator.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: They are going with a camera.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, wait, they have to that's insane. Through
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the tally whacker.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Through the tally whacker.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: For your Johnson.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: They're gonna knock on mister Johnson's door and mister Johnson's
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: gonna open the door and say, that is a laser
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and a camera on a two come in.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: That is a laser and a camera.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: And the mechanical arm that reaches out and grabs the
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Jimmy Stone and secures it and brings it closer so
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: that they can laser it.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: And oh and then you release it through your rod.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And at the same time, and at the same time
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: they're putting in a stent, so they go back up.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: What is that? What is a stent.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: A stent is something that widens your urator. Oh, it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a plastic kind of a cup. It's a little fatter
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: on one end, a little thinner, but it widens the urator.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: M okay, so that any particles of the kidney stone
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that cannot that didn't make it out during the the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Star Wars routine laser show that was going on on
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the kidney stone inside my urator near my kidney, by
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the way, that those pieces that didn't get out then
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: can drain out of a wider open. So but here's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: the thing. They tie a string, a two foot long
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: string to that uh stent, and so it comes. So
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: now you got a string hanging out your Telly whacker.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And then they they they tape that string to mister Johnson.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Whoa.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So now you.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Are wait, we have a tally whacker and mister Johnson
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: the same.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: They're the same, they're the same.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Holy moly. And it's such a little little like tiny
• 15:31

  Speaker 1: up and pee at night and it's kind of painful.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, because they're waiting for it to pass through
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: because they're they're saying, if it's gonna like work, your
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: body's gonna do that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: But they but they got most of it. They said,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: we probably got all of it, but the stint is
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: there and just in case there's some pieces that need
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: to pass through. And I'm like, oh great, well we
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: got four days to hang out and party.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: And you know, yeah, so you had and you had
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to like the two foot long stint, like you had
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: to hold that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Well, no, no, the stint is smaller. The string is
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: two feet long. Okay, because the stint, the stint is
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: placed next to the kidney.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, string have to be two ft long.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Because they have to pull it out.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh my god.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: How else are they going to get it out? That's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: part three of the story.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the reason they tie a string to it,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: because they're they're gonna yank it out of you.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: And tying on a doorknob like it's not like.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: It's not like no, I was on the second floor
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: and they tie it to a doorknob and I jump off. Yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: there you go into the swimming pool.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my gosh.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I was gonna wait for, you know, our first show
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: on the road with the band, and I was gonna
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: pull it out, you know, there on Carburne Home and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: instead of eating the head of a bat, you know,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: biting up the head of a bat, you know, pull
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the stent out of the telly whacker. There you go.

  Speaker 1: very cold metal slab covered with blankets, and I was
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I started getting nervous, man, And then I saw stirrups,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: so I'm putting I'm gonna have to put my feet

• 21:52
  Speaker 1: just no more vulnerable feeling for a dude. Man. I
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: guess it's like, this thing's gonna go right up me.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a leap. But geez, man, what if
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: something goes wrong? What if the laser misses and like
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: hits my lever or HiT's you know whatever.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Look, they do this all day, every day. It's not
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: a big deal for them.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: It's not a big deal for that.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: They're just a big deal for the surgery or whatever. Anyway,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So I go out, you know, and I know, you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I've had surgeries before. You go out and then you
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: wake up, it's like this, it's very quick, and that's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: what happened. So I went out, I wake up, my
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: wife is there, and I came out of the nist
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: stesia pretty good. But when it wore off, I started
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: shaking really bad, and they so they had to give
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: me some other meds to calm me down. And they
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: go back to the room and uh, you know, they
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: tell me they got most of it. They think they
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: got all of it, and we put a stent in
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and that's why you have a string coming out of
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: your you know what. And we taped it to the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: side to keep the string secure and we'll just monitor you.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: So the next morning came and I was feeling really
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: good and I didn't need meds after I got back
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: into the room and they're like, wow, that's a really
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: good sign. So maybe we did get it all. Slept,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: woke up feeling great, and they came in took some blood,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and then they came back a little while later and said,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: you know what, everything's looking good. Oh good feeling, I said,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling good. Okay, Okay, we're gonna we're gonna let
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: you go home. So they let me go home.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Oh good.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so my wife got me home and yeah, it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: been a process.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: When did they take out the string?
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that was about let me see, I got
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: home on Monday and then the following yeah, it was
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the following Monday, so it was a weekend.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: There, just a case like they'd know that if your
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: pain came back. They knew that they didn't get it all,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: so they had to leave it there in case they
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: need to do more proceeds exactly.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm drinking tremendous amount of fluids. I'm running as much.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: And that's what doctor told me. He said, from now on,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to analyze the stone. We're going to tell
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: you what food you cannot eat anymore.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: And what happened like what led to it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: But we're going to analyze what the stone was comprised of,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: because there's really five main categories what it could be.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So once they got that information, they sent me my
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: food list, right what to avoid, what to really emphasize,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and he and what he what he what he really
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: emphasized was for you going forward, water is medicine to you.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Ah, but you eat healthy anyway, Scott, I.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Do, but I could, you know, make it, but I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: don't hydrate enough. And he said, you need to double
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: your intake of water. Yeah, so just look at it
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: that way. Avoid these foods and drink tons of water
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and there shouldn't be your recurrence of this is what
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: it was comprised of.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So you have a water bottle or like you one
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: of like these, just keep filling them up, you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: get a yetty or you.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Know all that. I have so many water bottles. I
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: take this giant thing this to the gym. Okay, giant
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: water bottle. So anyway, so yeah, then month, then then
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a week goes by. You know, I'm I'm not really
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: back at the gym yet. You know, I'm skinny, and
• 25:31

• 25:39
  Speaker 2: you know, and.

• 25:47
  Speaker 1: appointment to remove the stent.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Uh huh.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm nervous about that. I'm thinking, oh, geez, this
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: is gonna hurt and I'm doing all the research online
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I can to to find out how that feel. And
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm reading where it's some people say it's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: really painful when they pull it out. I'm just like,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: are they going to give me a topical? What are
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: they going to do? They're gonna numb me? How's this
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: going to work? That's pretty nervous about that. So I
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: go in same doctor's office and I think the doctor's
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: going to do it. No, it's just you know, a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: nurse comes in and she says, go ahead and drop
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: your pants and and I'll just take it out.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: They don't numb you or any any topical cream.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I was. I was so used to
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: everybody looking at my pecker in that hospital every day
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: all day because you know, they all had to say it, right, yeah, yeah,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of course because they have to you know whatever that

• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I don't care. These people see this all the time.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, it's the same thing, like you don't care,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: You're just like whatever, because it's medical, and they're saying
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: medical your life. You know, It's like, it's not salacious,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: it's medical. And that's why we're able to talk about
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: it now. I mean, we're get going a little bit.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: But this happens to people, you.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Know, I think sad enough enough, it's like enough with this.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: She's looking out the window, like, I don't want to
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: talk about it anymore. I don't want to talk about
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: it anymore. Okay, we've half of this. I'm from a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: good family. I come from a family we don't talk to.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: About two minutes ago, I was starting to get really nauseous,
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: string and internal, so I had to kind of tone
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: it down over here with the questions.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Last part of this. Okay, So I'm sitting in there,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: this young nurse comes in and she says, and I
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: thought it was going to be a process. I thought
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: it was going to be like a minute long or
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: a two minute long, and they're gonna pull it out
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: really slowly, and it's like, how's that? And it's because
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: it's got to go through the urator, which is a
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: pretty long tube, and then it goes through the gallbladder,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna want to be really careful, right, and
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: do it slowly and oh no, we hit the gall bladder.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: We got to stop, you know. Okay, okay, Scott, you
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: know this kind of thing. And then we're coming through
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the wreath round to get slow. So no, you hit it,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: you hit a ridge. Let's stop. You know. We don't
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: want to we don't want to disrupt. No, it's not
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: like that. You know what she did. She just pulled
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: my pants down. She grabs it, she takes the tape off.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: There's two pieces of tape, you know. She's like, she's
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: like handling me right.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: She gets the tape off, and one piece wouldn't come off,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: so she's like with her nails really going into it.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, oh, watch out there. And then the
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: tape is off and she goes, you're ready, and I
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: said sure. She goes boom. She just pulls it right
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: out like three seconds. Oh like this, you know. And
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't get nauseous. I wasn't gonna throw up. It
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: just was like this weird feeling of just and it
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: was out. And then she held it up and she
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: put it in the trash can and she said that's it. Wow, excellent,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And she left the room and I'm sitting there looking
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: at my wife, going, well, that wasn't so bad. Quick,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I wasn't bad at all.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: They know, they do the procedure too quick.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Like it didn't hurt. It just it just came out
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: right out like it was looped up.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Did you feel sore afterwards or like, did you did
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: you like from all the every.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Thing, you know, the invasiveness and yes, the walker invasion.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. Well also it's just like when you pete again,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: like did it feel normal afterwards? Yeah? Okay, that's good.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, everything kind of returning normal.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Thank god, you're okay?
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Like that pain, I gotta tell you something, it really
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: it scared me a little bit. Yeah. It really makes
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: you take stock. And you know, I Jesus, I called
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the state attorney and made sure my will was a thing,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and I went over it in the hospital, you know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: over the phone with him. Yeah. I mean, it's just
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: like you're in the hospital. You're in the hospital.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: They're going to do a procedure. Even though it's not
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: life threatening, anything can happen and know whatever, and I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: don't know, it's not necessarily a wake up call. Because
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm very good about taking care of
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: myself and eating, get my sleep.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: But it's just like, damn, the vulnerability of it. It's
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: the vulnerability because again, like my only hospital experience was
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: you know, giving my preterm birth to my son. You know,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: so it's like you go in with this holy I
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: don't know what's going on, and you know you're looking
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: for and I was cracking jokes in the hospital too.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: You're you're looking for some levity while you're there, and
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I get it. It's just like but the vulnerability of
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: like you don't know what's going on. You know, when
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: you first went in, you don't know what's going on
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: yet you know, so and then it does like then
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: you process the whole journey and then you think about
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: it and you're like, oh, yeah, I do got to
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: take care of myself a little bit more, or you know,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: you know, I do got to think about this kind
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: of stuff with my family. So it's it is it
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: is a wake up call in a sense. But also
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: it's like, you know, you were okay, and I was okay,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I was in good hands. You were in good hands.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: So it's like absolutely, and you know, the funny part
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: of it was they have these these bottles that you
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: can urine. Oh yeah, and you don't even have to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: get out of bed.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Oh I had one of those two. I had a
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: big old bag.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: So let me tell you a story. So they had
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: three of them. Hang it off my monitor, you know
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: those monitors. So the ivy's hooked up to it, the
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: monitors hooked up to it. Yeah, and it's something with wheels,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: and if you know, they wanted me to take a
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: walk every day.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I called it the tree of life.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I take like I take like, you know, twenty minutes
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: of lapse with the nurse holding onto my arm or something.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: We go around my my rear end, exposing hospital down
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: until I got smart and put underwear on. Yeah, you know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: because I didn't want to put any pressure on certain
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: areas of my anatomy. So you know, I was I was,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: you know, commando the whole time.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So so we do our laps and then at night,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: every hour, I'd wake up and I'd go to the wall,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: unplug the monitor, wrap up the cord, walk in, take
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: it over into the bathroom, do my number come back.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: And these urinal things, little plastic urinal things were hanging
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: off the monitor and I didn't even know what they were.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: So for the first so for the first two days,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I'm getting up every hour and like doing this whole process.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: And then you go plug it back in, and then
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you gotta get back in bed, and you've got the IV.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: And I had the IV in my left arm, so
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: I can't bend my arm when I'm sleeping. I have
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to keep that arm straight at all times. Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Wait, you know the needle isn't in so you can
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: bend it. I actually learned that, but it still makes
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: me nauseous.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: It's just a plastic tube and so but the.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Plastic tube is like it's like that long.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: No, they told me not to bend. They told me
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: not to bend it, but I did bend it sometimes
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: and then the alarm would go off on the monitor
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: and they'd have to come in and shut the alarm. Yeah.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so I you know, and then when I
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: found the joy of using those those urinal tubes, I
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: just do it from bed.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have to get out.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: The first time I tried it, they okay, here's a
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: funny story. Okay, I was in really bad pain. When
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I first went in there after the procedure, I was
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in really bad pain. They gave me some morphine and
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: it calmed down a little bit, but it wasn't enough,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: so I was like begging them for more morphine. So
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: they gave me Delauded. And Delauded is like five times
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: more powerful than more WHOA. And they don't like to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: give it to people unless it's absolutely necessary because it's
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: highly addictive and very powerful. And as soon as they
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: gave it to me, I was like, you know, drooling
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: out like this, and uh, I was out and I
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: was just like a zombie guy. And it was wonderful
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: because I felt no pain. And that's what really got
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: me on the path. So on the Delauded my first
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: time using the urinal tubes. Huh And I realized when
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I was done and I looked at the tube there
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: was nothing in it. Oh huh no the floor. I
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: stood up.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, the floor. Oh no, my god.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, that's that's that's gonna leave them mark.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't get any like zero percent.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: That's pretty funny.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: And they came in and they said this happens all
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: the time. No, I just felt like a fool. I
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: felt like such a fool. They were so great, they
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: were so great.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Now they've seen it all.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: You know. The thing that scared me the most, what
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: it's so many elderly people were admitted or they were
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: in the emergency room with the flu, and it's it's
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the phlem that builds up in their lungs and it's yeah,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: and that's dangerous. And that's the part that scared me.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: So it's like, guys, if you're out there, if I
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: took anything from this experience, and there were a lot
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: of things to draw from this experience, it's like, stay
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: in shape, stay idle, keep your routine, because man, you're
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: gonna need that strength later in life to fight off
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: these flus, man, because those are the things that take
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: people down. Yeah, you know when they're vulnerable. Because I'm
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm sixty seven, I'm in really great shape.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I really take care of myself. I take care of
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: my body, I eat well, I get my sleep. Yeah.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I don't drink, you know, really, you know, very very
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: rarely do I have a drink. And man, it was
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: like this, these these flues are getting harsh, you know,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: they're hard to fight off. Yeah, so anyway, Yeah, it
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: was just being around that and hearing so many people
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: struggling in the hospital like they were far worse off
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: than I was. Just I felt terrible for them. And
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: their families are there and they're yeah, you know, it's
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: their mom and their dad. They're trying to take care
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: of them, and they're just like not getting any better,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: and it's just it's hard. That's a tough. So to
