Vitamin D To The Max... · Billy & Lisa in the Morning: The After Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, so about to do the after show podcast. By
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the way, hi, everybody. Welcome to the show. So I'm
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: about to start and I'm like, let me grab Riley
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: real quick because Billy skated out of here. And so
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I go in our studio. I'm like, can you jump
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: on the podcast? And just the look on her face
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was like sadness, but also fear. And I go, Riley,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: just it's okay. Don't worry about it. She's like, I
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: know I feel bad. I want to come on, but
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: She had something to do later on. She has to podcast.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: She has to do a bunch of post-production stuff. That's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: just what she does, as do I. But she's like,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: any other day this week. No problem. Tomorrow, you can
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: come on. Because she's going to see Harry Styles this weekend,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: so I wanted to kind of get her on to
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: talk about that leading up to the weekend. That's a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: big show, Madison Square Garden. She's lucky enough to have
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: gotten tickets from her friend. So that's going to be
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: cool to talk to her before and then after, which
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we'll do on the show next week. It is Columbus
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Day on Monday. We will not be working. Or is it?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: It's not called Columbus Day, is it? Indigenous People Day? Yeah.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So anyway, it's a holiday, not for our company, but
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we always take it off. And my race is on Sunday,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: so we are definitely taking it off because I don't
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: know what I'm going to feel like after. I think
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'll be okay. I'll probably be sore. I could work,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: but it's just a tradition. So we have vacation days,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and then we also have personal days, and we always
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: take our personal day on Columbus Day, Indigenous People Day. Always.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: That's going back into, like, the Maddie days. We always
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: were off the first or second October in– Monday in October,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I should say. Good luck, Justin. You're going to do
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: great at High Rocks. It's going to be so awesome.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And you may hit a few bumps along the way,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: but it's okay. You can push through. There are so
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: many great people there as spectators. I was a spectator
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for the first time last year. And it's so much
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: fun to cheer on your family and friends. And you'll
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: do great. What an accomplishment. go get them. Thank you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: very much for those words. I mean, there's two things here.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I've never done the race at the convention center, so
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to expect. I've never done any
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: high rocks race, but also in the training for it,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: they say not to, you can do a simulation, but
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to not, you really don't have to, that you should
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: focus on like zone two cardio, maybe half simulations. So
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I've never actually done the work of a full race,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: which is eight one-kilometer runs and then eight functional stations
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: in between. I've never done it start to finish. So
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: those are two things that I'm nervous about. One, I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: don't know the layout. I haven't worked out there. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: haven't done it. And then two, I've never done the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: full simulation. So maybe I should have. I don't know. Actually,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I did like most of one two weeks ago. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: did six kilometers and six stations. So I was only
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: two short, right? Two kilometers and two stations. And I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: did fine. I got through it. It was tough, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it was okay. So I'm thinking, I think with the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: added carbs that I'm going to be eating, I'm going
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to be taking some gels during the race, which is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: basically just like some intracarbs, some sugar to kind of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: motivate me and give me some energy when I need it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So I think between those, I'll be okay. I'm racing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: on Sunday at 140 with my boy, Mike, a good
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: friend of mine, one of my best friends in the
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: whole entire world. It's a really cool moment for us
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: because Our kids are best friends. You know, he has
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: two children. I have two children, both around the same age.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Abel is nine. His son, Liam, is nine. And then
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: he has a son, Logan, who's five. And my daughter, Gemma,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is four. So it's cool. And, you know, I met
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Mike when we got clean in 2012. I was at
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a recovery meeting, a men's recovery meeting. And he came
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: walking in, sat down, sat for the meeting. And at
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the end, you know, we always ask, you know, is
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: anybody new here? That wants to speak or wants to share,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you know, first time here, please introduce yourself. And at
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the end, he raised his hand. He was all nervous
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and he was like, I just got out of treatment
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and I just don't have a license and I need
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: rides to meetings. And so, you know, back in those
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: days when I was really like heavy into attending meetings
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: every single night, that was something that you did, right?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You give it away. That's how you keep what you have.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So I went up to him just like any other guy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And I stuck with the guys and, uh, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I said, Hey, where you live, man? You know, I'm
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: going tomorrow night. Want me to pick you up? He said,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: thank you. And then I picked him up every single
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: day for the next years. Right? So this is 2012
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and I'll never forget. He couldn't get his license. Okay.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So I remember when I was getting to know him
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and I said, you know, when can you get your
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: license back? And he said, not until 2020. And this
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was in 2012 in eight years. seemed like an eternity.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, dude, you're never getting your license. He's like,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I know. And even when, cause he had DUIs. So
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: even when he did, he was like, I got to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: get the breathalyzer put in. It's a whole big deal.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And so he just got rides for the next eight
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: years and he just stayed clean, did the right thing.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And his life blossomed. And before you know it, it
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: was 2020 and he got a car and he got
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the breathalyzer and he had that for like a year
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: or two. I remember we went to– on a road
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: trip to Vermont to a recovery convention and we took
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: his car and you got to blow into the thing
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to start the car. And sometimes it's annoying because it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't read. So we'd be sitting there and he'd be like–
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, crazy, crazy. But now he's got that out
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and he's all good. He's got his license. Another thing
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I remember when he got clean was I'd pick him up, OK?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So now mind you, I had been clean for about
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: four years at that point. So I'm pretty well into it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And so in talking to him, you know, I'd say,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: how are you feeling today? You know, do you feel
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: like using? And he'd be like, yeah. And every day
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'd pick him up and I'd say, the first thing
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'd say to him was, how was your day? Like, good.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And I'd be like, did you think about getting high?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And he'd be like, yeah. And it was every single day.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And that's called the obsession and the compulsion. That's one
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of the hardest things to get rid of. But when
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you're free of it, it's a huge, it's a big moment,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: but it can take months and months as is the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: case with Mike. So every day I would pick him
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: up and I'd ask him and every single day for months,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: he He would say, yeah, I did, but I didn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: one day at a time. And then one day, could
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: have been seven months, could have been a year, I forget.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: But I picked him up and I asked him how
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: his day was and he said it was a great day.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: And then I said to him, did you think about
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: using today? And he paused and his face lit up
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and he goes, no. And that was the moment, right?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: We always remember the moment when the obsession gets lifted,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: when you realize, wow, I did not think about picking
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: up a drug or a drink today. It's a gift.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: It's a gift that you have to work towards. You
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have to put the work in and that work is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: surrounding yourself with other like-minded people, getting somebody that can
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: help you, a sponsor and just barely just building a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: network and building a relationship with other people and a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: higher power and just all those things that you do
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: helps to take that obsession and get it off of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you because when you're caught up in it, man, like
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I remember– I don't never forget, like I've been so
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: far removed of it. Like I'm talking, you know, 18 years, right?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So I've been so far removed, but there was never
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a thought between the, a pause between the thought and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the action. That's the best way to explain it. If
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I had the thought of doing something, I had to
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: do it and I would do it every single time.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So when it came to using, when it came to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: stealing or any of those things, hurting people, If the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: thought came, I would follow through with it. And then
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: when you get clean in recovery, you start to really
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: change that and you start to learn about that pause.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Because if you're able to pause, you can think it
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: through and you can do what's called playing the tape.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You have the thought, I want to drink. I want
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to get high. But you pause and you think about
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it and you think to yourself, okay, let me play
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that tape through to the end. If I use today,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen? Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: but guaranteed if I keep going in a week or
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a month or maybe, yeah, in one day, I'm going
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to lose everything again. I'm going to lose all the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: relationships that I've built. I'm going to lose all the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: money that I have because that's what happens. That's what happens.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Addiction just takes and takes and takes. So since 2012,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Mike and I have been very, very, very close friends.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: And now we're racing high rocks together. So it's just
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a really cool full circle moment. Here we are all
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: these years later, still doing it, still doing recovery, raising
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: our children. You know, he's got two boys. His oldest son, Liam,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: who's nine years old, is a crazy wrestler. He is locked.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: He's one of the most locked in dads that I know.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: You know, he's got both his kids in wrestling, the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: five year old and the nine year old. But the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: nine year old is really, really good. He travels all
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: around the country wrestling, just really, really locked in. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he's really good friends with my son. So. We'll be
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: there Sunday racing. I hope if you get going or
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to watch or to even compete and you see me,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: make sure you say hello and we can bond together.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people doing this High Rocks thing
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: in Boston. I can't believe it. There's a ton of
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: people from my gym and Drive Custom Fit that are going.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I added my name to the list of people that
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: are competing. So it's pretty cool. It's a pretty cool community.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Not for everybody, right? There's different. I always think The
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: funny thing about the gym that I go to, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: this is like a good life example, okay, that I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: can share with you. Since I joined the gym, right,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: around 2012, and I started my fitness journey, it was
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: always kind of the bodybuilder, okay? So lift weights, do
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: your cardio, eat clean, get big, right? Cut and bulk and,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I hated cardio. I just was really focused
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: on the weights, but I did the cardio because I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: knew it was important. And I hired a bodybuilding coach, right?
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: And I was able to get my weight down. It
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: was great, right? And I remember like walking by a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: place like Drive, which is in Tuscan Village. And like
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: when you walk by, you see these garage doors that open.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: You see a turf and you see bikes and you
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: see equipment. But in my head, I'm like, that's a
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: girl's gym. You know, right away, I just kind of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: put a label on it. Oh, that's where girls go.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: They have classes, they have spin classes. And so I never,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: ever thought to ever step foot in there, nor would
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I have ever stepped foot in there. Okay. If it
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't for my friend, my really good friend, Adam, who
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: goes there and, you know, we became friends. And then,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you know, we kind of, it's actually a good story
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: because we I love fitness and I love health. You
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: know that. I'll talk endlessly about it, right? And so
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: any man that I talk to, guy that I talk
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to that is maybe thinking about changing their lives or
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: thinking about getting into health and fitness, I'll talk to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: them all day. And I don't talk at them. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: talk to them. And I talk in a way similar
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to recovery where I never tell them what they need
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: to do. I tell them what I do, right? Because
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: if I put the focus on me, people are more
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: apt to listen. And I got that from like recovery. Right.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I never I never wanted to be told what to do.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: But if someone said to me, this is what I did,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I would be more open minded to try it. But
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: once you say you, you, you like you're pointing a finger,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. Don't tell me
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: what to do. So I kind of use that same
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: same mentality. So one day at our son's baseball games,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: because his son plays baseball with my son, I think
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: he came over to my wife and he was like, hey, dude,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you look so good, man. If you lost weight, you
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: look good. And he asked me what I was doing
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and I explained to him and I told him my
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: story about how I lost weight and what I do.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And he was really, really interested in it and the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: supplements I take. And he just– I can't remember if
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he told me that day that he was going to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: start doing it, but he did. He went back to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the gym. He already had a membership to drive. So
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: he went back there and he would tell me. He'd
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: be like, dude, I'm going to the gym. I'm going
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: back to drive. I did this many– I'm like, oh
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: my god, that's awesome. And he stuck with it, right?
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: And so– He tried to get me to go to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the gym and I'm like– in my head, I'm like,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to the girls' gym. What are you doing?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: And then finally one day, he talked me into it
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and I went to the gym and I went to
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: see what it's all about and I met the owners,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Tony and Jake, and I fell in love with it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I really did and it came at a pivotal time
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: for me because my body was beat up from lifting weights.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel good. My shoulder injury, my hips hurt,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: my knee hurt because I'm in there trying to push
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: this heavy weight. I just was unhappy. I wasn't getting–
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the same kind of benefit that I was getting. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: so that gym came at the right time and they
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: had everything that I wanted. And so I was doing
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: both for a while. I was doing my regular lifting.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: And then on the weekends I would do classes. And
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: eventually I'm like, you know what? Like they have everything
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that I want there. They not just have the classes,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: but they have a gym. They have an open gym
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that you can use. So my membership ran out the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: other gym, which was great. And I joined drive full time.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And now I'm like locked in. That's how I got
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: into high rocks. And by the way, Adam is doing
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: high rocks this weekend. So it's just really cool, man.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: It's a really, really cool thing. It kind of brought
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: us all together. And that's what fitness does. That's what
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: gyms do, whether it's a regular gym or classes. If
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: you keep going, you will meet like-minded people that are
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing and that you can connect with.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And hopefully, like when you go to a gym and,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you know, if there are new people that are coming in,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: you try to help them because that's important too. You know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: it's always good to complain. It's always nice to complain
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: about other people and they're taking up machines and not
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: doing what you want. But make sure you help those
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: people that are just walking in. Kind of like how
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: my friend Zeb did for me, you know. So there's that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: There's a speech on that. And speaking of health, I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: have a doctor's appointment today. Going to see my doc
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: in Tewksbury. And we have some things to talk about.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Because there's some stuff going on with me, which I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: am a little bit concerned about. So what happened was...
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I take supplements. I take a lot of supplements.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: And when I say supplements, I mean, you know, magnesium
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and a fish oil and a multivitamin. You know, these
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: are things, turmeric. And vitamin D is one that I've
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: taken for forever, for a while, D3 and K2 together.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So what I had really read about or seen people
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: talk about is that you can never have enough vitamin D.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what they said, but that's
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: what I heard, right? It's like you don't get enough
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: from the sun. You should take extra and take as
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: much as you can because your body just stores it. Again,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: did I dream that? I don't know, right? So the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: recommended dose, which I did not know for an adult,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: is 4,000 IUs a day, okay? I did not know that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So I went on Amazon and I looked up, you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: vitamin D and D2 and K3, whatever. And so I
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: found like a high, high potency one. for a year, right?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: So one pill a day for a year. So I'm like,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: that sounds great. Let me get that. Boom, start taking it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's one a day for a year. And because I'm
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: a good addict, I can't do one of anything. So
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: I took two and I have been taking two for
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the past, I don't know, six months, eight months, every
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: day with my supplements, I take two of these pills, okay?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: So in the past few months, I've been noticing that
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I'm thirsty a lot. I'm parched. And at first I
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: chalked it up to the working out that I do.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I drink a lot of electrolytes, so I shouldn't be,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: but maybe I'm drinking too much. I put salt in
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: my water. Is it that? But I would be very thirsty.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And then also at night, say I do the sauna
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: at night, I would be peeing like all night long.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: So thirsty and peeing. And then I would wake up
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: overnight multiple times a night. I'd wake up so thirsty,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: get up, drink. pee again. It was like so annoying.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And I was saying to my wife, I think it's
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the sauna. Is the sauna like throwing off my body?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And I looked it up and it did say that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a sauna can make you pee after. That's what it said.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: So I chalked it up to I drink a lot
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: during the day. I get in the sauna. I sweat
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: it out and my body wants more. But it was so,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: so annoying. Okay. So I get my labs done. Every
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: six months I do that. And I'm looking at all
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: my results and you know, on your labs, it has
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: a range. Okay. But if it's out of range, it'll
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: be in red, like an exclamation point. Like you have
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to see this. And I noticed one of them was
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: in red and that was my vitamin D level. Okay.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So I look at the range and the range for
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: male was between like 50 and a hundred or 50
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: and 150. And mine was around 400. So I'm like, huh?
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: So this is last Friday. I'm at work before the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: show starts. So I look it up and what do
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I see? I see that if you have a vitamin
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: D level of 400, you should probably go to the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: hospital because you have toxicity. Basically you're in danger of
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: your kidneys fucking shutting down. And so I'm like freaking out.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: So I'm texting my wife and she's like, what are
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: these pills you've been taking? So she goes in the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: cabinet and she goes, Are you taking these? They're 50,000
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: IUs each pill. I was taking two. So for the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: past six months or more, I've been taking 100,000 IUs
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: of vitamin D when the recommended max daily dose is 4,000.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I was taking about 20 plus times more
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: than I should have. So yeah, I stopped immediately. Obviously,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I have not taken them since then. And I'm going
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to see my doctor today. He didn't call me, which
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: is actually, I don't know if it's a bad sign
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: or a good sign. My wife said, typically, if you're
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that far out of range and there is a danger,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the doctor will call you unless he hasn't seen the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: labs yet. But I'm going to see him today. But
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I stopped. I feel okay. I feel like the thirst
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: thing has kind of died down a bit, a little bit.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So hopefully that's what it was. But it also says
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: it can take months. for it to flush out of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: your body fully and kind of get back to normal.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm a little concerned about that. I'll let you
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: know what's going on there. And it's really a lesson
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: that I probably shouldn't take everything that I see on
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a podcast, literally. Because I listen to a lot of podcasts.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I listen to a lot of health podcasts. And I
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: get a lot of good information, like great information. That's
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: how I know what supplements to take, what not to take,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: which ones are scams. All the things that I do,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I've learned from other people, from doctors or professionals on
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: things like podcasts. So I don't know where I heard
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that about like taking all the vitamin D. But I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: thought you couldn't have enough. That's what I thought. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: also someone said to me once– I don't know if
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I heard it on a podcast or somebody said it
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to me. But it made sense to me in a way.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: They said, do you know why the flu doesn't really
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: exist in the summer? It's because the sun and there's
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: plenty of sun here. So in the summer, everyone's getting
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the proper amount of vitamin D, which helps to fight
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: off sicknesses like the flu. And you ever notice that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: flu season begins when the sun goes away, when there's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: not that much sun, that means people are depleted of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: vitamin D and they're not able to fight it off
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and it spreads easier. I don't know if that's true,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: but it kind of makes sense to me. Like when
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I heard that, I'm like, oh my God, that makes sense.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: But who knows? So. That's what I'm going to do today.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go see the doc. I'll report back.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I'm doing fine though. I'm doing okay. I feel 100%.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I don't feel any bad side effects. It just is
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: scary to look that up and see that. I looked
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: it up on the regular internet. I looked it up
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: on ChatGPT. So I'm going to go have a nice
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: conversation with my doctor about that and all things health
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: ahead of my high rocks race this weekend. So that's it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Send your talkbacks in. Let me know. I'd love to
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: hear from you. from you on this after show and
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: tomorrow we'll check in with Riley ahead of our big
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: trip to New York to see Harry Styles who threw
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the chicken nugget. See ya.
