  Speaker 1: politics and getting in a fight with relatives at the table,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: is that a safety issue?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not a safety issue, but he did warn
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: like your your relatives and friends can distract you, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: there could be a lot of wine involved, and there's
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: knives involved. So the person who's carving the turkey, I'm
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: not saying you're fighting in that way, but the person
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: who's carving the turkey or the person who is doing
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the cooking can get very distracted because you're trying to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: talk to the guests, keep them happy, people are drinking.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So this doctor's obviously seen it. He's seen it over
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: twelve years.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: He really really carefully said, with the like mandolins and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: sharp knives, he said, you've got to be really careful
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and focus. If you're the person who's cooking and carving,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: You've got focus.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: What about slipping is slipping on the last naep is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: really big time because I thought like you dropped gravy
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on the floor and you forget about it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And whoo yep, And he said again we go back
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to hosting. Like even a rug. You know, you walk
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: into the room if you have an area rug and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: you're carrying something and then oops, you tripped. So he said,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: be really careful with that. He said he's seen a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: lot of head injuries because people just go down. Also
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: icy sidewalks. If somebody's coming to visit you and it's
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: called out, He's like, you've got to be really careful
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, did we get them all?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Then no, you didn't. You did? There's I mean along
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: with the slipping and falling, they see a lot of
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: orthopedic injuries, sprains and fractures, he said, because some people
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: go out and they play like a touch football, or
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: they play around or they do something. Doctors say, please
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: stretch and warm up first, and they said be careful
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: again with the wine if you're playing any sports. Knives too,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: because he might not be coordinated. But I think the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: big one we're no knives. The big one we're missing
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that's kind of really off is over eating.
• 3:02

• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ever does that.

  Speaker 1: I mean, you feel like you over eighteen, you actually
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: go to the er.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: People go to the er because they literally think they're
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: having a heart attack. You said, oh wow, gastrointestinal illnesses
