  Speaker 2: And part of that best experience is our members get
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: to ask Nick questions and that's usually the first thing
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that they would like to dive into, you know what
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, And we gotta Yeah, we got a three
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: questions this week, so which was nice.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did so. I remember it's a your question one.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I remember once you messed the muscle atrophy starts after
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: about ten days. Yeah, that is true. In that case,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: during the recovery period, how do you maintain your muscle
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: mass throughout your body? Thank you hung Yeah, that's that's
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The problem is when you're going through something like this,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: like I can't lay down on a bench and get
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: off the bench. There's a lot I can do some
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: standing overhead press, but really light because I still have
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to worry about dislocation and not so much from the joint.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I won't have to worry about that per se unless
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I cross my legs or do some things that aren't
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: real smart, which you have to really work it messing
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that up. But they can dislocate out of the bone
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that they've been pounded down into, and my quads, into
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: my thighs and my femurs, so I have to be
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: very careful with that. I got about two more weeks
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to go before I can truly stop worrying about dislocation,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: but I'm going to probably extend that out to eight weeks. Yes,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not so much going to worry about the muscle
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: mass per se. My body weight is stabilized at two
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: seventy five, so I'm down about twenty five thirty pounds,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: which is not bad. It's okay. I'm eating better, especially
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: now of them out of the hospital. But the effect
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the infection has taking a toll as far as some
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: of the healing processes. My left hip is getting very
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is getting better. I can move around on it pretty good.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I'm starting to get confident with it a little bit.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I can almost roll across that like a normal step.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: My right my right is still way off compared to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the left, but that is starting to not leak as much.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: It's still draining, which is a problem. I mean, it's yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and so I'm in my second day, second ten day
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: cycle of anabolic antibiotics of antibiotics, so that's going pretty good.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm I got eight more days of these things to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: go and it once that's done. I've been trying to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: eat a lot of yogurt stuff with culture and it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: stuff like that to help my digestion. And while this
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is going on, even though you're about to kill everything
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that's in my stomach to a certain degree, I'm still
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: trying to put what I can in there to help
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: with that. Because yoga's a natural probiotic, so that's going
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to help with that a lot. So it's just a
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: little challenge things. But I think another week from now,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: hopefully this thing will stop draining and it'll finally like
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: heal up and start healing the way it should. To
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: where I can start strengthening that joint a little bit
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: more as well. Yes so, but the body mass am not.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It was within any injury. It's whatever you can basically
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: do to still train is what you're gonna do. Like today,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: for instance, I can't bench press because I can't get
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: off the bench press I got. When you get one leg,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you still got one good leg to use. When you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: use both legs, you don't have that luxury. So I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: still looking I'm still looking at like a month away
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: from probably being able to sit down and get up
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: off the bench by myself. Yeah, so I just got
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to be patient. It's going to come. It's going to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: be okay, but it's just gonna take a little while.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And mean, the hardest part about the healing process is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the patience and going through all this stuff. Now, I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: did go in there. I put the bar on the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: lowest rung of the bench and I did push ups
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: with it, so you know, I put my hands in
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the bar and then just slowly walk my legs back.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I did push ups. I was doing sets of twenty.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I did like five sets of twenty with it with
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: my body weight, which is just fine for now. I
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: did a little light overhead pressing just with the bar.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I did some light overhead stretching to where I hung
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: from the lap from my pull up bar, and then
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: like kind of work my back muscles at the same time,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: not trying to do pull ups per se, but like
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: make the muscle in the back work like the range
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: of motion without engage, without using my arms. So that
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: was kind of cool. And then I did a bunch
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of like work for my therapy, like trying to raise
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: my knees up higher and get them parallel with the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: ground and eventually so I can step up under I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: under up onto boxes again and stuff like that. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: basically stepped up onto a four inch rubber rubber pad
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: today and just stepped up and step down and step
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: up and step down and step up and step down,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: just kind of trying to work that and work the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: strength and get better at it and work my coordination.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that's going to help me
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: walk again is getting to where I can balance on
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: one foot without holding onto anything else. Again, I think
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: stepping up onto the block like that is going to
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: help a lot with that. So I just had to,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: like I said, I just had to be patient and
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: go through it. I was. I got done. I was
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: in the gym for like maybe forty minutes today and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm wuked out. So body is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: still healing. I still need a lot of rest. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: still need to do the things I need to do
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: to recover. But I still need a lot of rest.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: So just eating. Yeah, and so I'm eating a good
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: amount of protein, a decent diet. You know, I did
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: learn a lot while I was in the in the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: hospital about my GFR stuff like that. So now I'm
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: starting to throw chicken in Not so I'm not eating
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: red meat as much every day as much as I'm
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: starting to throw chicken in there. That should help my
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: cret and level stay lower, and it should, you know,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: really help my kidney function a lot, which is great
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: because that's how they judge it, even though my substat
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and cy test shows something like the seventies.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: All the time.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Now I know it's because the insurance companies are a joke,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but I won't get started in the medical industry right now.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So but yeah, so my GFR being up over sixty
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: is great because that's anything below sixty is kidney disease.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So it looks like I'm out of that, so that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: that's a plus. That's going well all which a lot
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: of my other protocols are staying the same with my
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: hart and stuff like that. It's actually helping me heal
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and move along pretty good. Yeah, I just yeah, it's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: so it's good. So anyway, I'm not really gonna be
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: worried too much about the muscle mass right now. So
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to more answer your question, because I've just been rambling
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to more answer your question. To keep the muscle mass on,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you got to find what you can do and which
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you can't do. If I could lay down on the bench,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: i'd be bench pressing, and I'd be doing encompasses, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'd be doing dips, which I can still do dips anyway,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: which I did some of those today too, But I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: would stick with basic movements that you can do that
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: avoids messing with the body part that you're injured on
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: or just and or just going and doing the rehab
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: therapy and the body parts that you can train. So
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I hope that's a simple answer to that question. But
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: don't worry about the muscles so much as you're injured.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: As far as losing some of it you use ten
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: twenty pounds, it's not gonna be that big of a deal.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It's once you get back training. It'll take you about
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: two to three months to put that back on and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: then you'll be right back where you were anyway, So
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily freak out about it. Just doesn't hurt you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: be a little lighter for a short amount of time either.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So okay, great question. Too great to see you back
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: up in your feet. Hope you're feeling better and get Wilson.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate that. Here's my question. What's the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: difference between free weight squats, deadlifts and hammer strengths squats
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and deadlifts. It's hammer strength for someone with an injury
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: or a beginner. Thank you very much. Okay, so hammer
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: strength squats and deadlifts are a great accessory exercise. Yeah,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: nothing beats regular freeweight squats. Nothing beats regular freeweight deadlifts.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: It simulates just about everything you're going to do in
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: your everyday life. Machines are great, grateful, but especially for bodybuilding.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You can spot build muscle, you can work in that area.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: You can really isolate and get into one area, but
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it doesn't help you with everyday life. It doesn't help
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: you with left politicism, it doesn't help you with balance,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: it doesn't help you with doing things you need to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: do in an everyday functional manner. So my advice would
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: be to squat with the bar, deadlift with the bar,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: do the free weights, and then add those in as
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: assistance exercises to finish things off too, you know, in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a safe manner, be able to push your muscle to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the to the limit to where you're you know, you've
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: reached muscle failure and then move on. So do your
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: your squats, your deadlifts, push pretty good, then get on
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that finish it off, and they're good finishing exercises. So
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I would definitely go about it that way and use it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: You squat first and then you lake present after.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Yeah, yeah, like yeah, you'll
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: usually squat, then i'll block full. Yeah, then I'll go
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: like press yeah exactly.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: But that's what he's saying here, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So people have an understanding of a little bit of
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a sequence.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: It's it's there to finish the muscle off, but it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: not there to build a.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Safe in a safe manner, in a safe manner. So,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: but it's like athletically wise, it's not going to help
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you that much. The machines won't. They make you strong
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in one linear direction with no balance involved. So it's
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: always good to get your regular stuff in and then
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: finish off in a safe manner. So I hope that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: answers that question for you. Okay, question three. You travel
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: world competing and meeting fans for decades. Yeah, it's a
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: pretty cool thing. What's one behind the scenes experience from
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: a competition trip that completely changed how you view people?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Competition or the strong man community. Oh jeez, there's so
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: many of those, there really is. But I think the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: thing that really kind of changed the way I look
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: at the world is some of the places I've got
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to go. But Swanna, you know, we did a field
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: trip where we got to go play soccer with with
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: these kids at an orphanage, which was pretty special and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing between the qualifiers in the finals, and that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: was a really neat thing, and it really changes the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: way you look at life and perspective. It really does,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: because you see these kids, they're still happy, they'll start
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: doing stuff, but they're orphans. They're in a place that
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: has no air conditioning yet they live in the middle
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of but Swana where it's blazing hot and there it
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: just really makes you appreciate what you have and spending
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: time with them and giving them you know, and just
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: getting to know them and stuff like that, and playing
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the games with them, and it was really a special experience.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: And then same with you know, the other times in
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Botswana or even South Africa for that matter, when we
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: were in Sun City, not as much, but both times
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of Buttswana really changed me quite a bit. You know,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the nuclear family in Africa is the nuclear family. It's father, mother, kids.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: They they love each other. They they're a nuclear family.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: They're just like anyplace else that you would expect to see.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: There's not a lot of broken homes. The kids come
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: out of school wearing uniforms, they go into their where
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: they live, they come out, they go back into the clothes.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: They respect their uniforms and the education that they get,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, and you can just see the love
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that they have for one another, and it it was
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: it's pretty eye opening too, you know, see people like
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that and just how happy they are and how they're
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: going through life, and so it's pretty cool, it really is.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty neat experience going to Malaysia, you know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: going into the you know, where we were staying was
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: in the very i don't know, religious areas and the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: military areas, and then going into the city and seeing
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the big city and stuff like that. It's just drastic
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: distance difference between the two. Being in China and seeing
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: how people live and the things that go on there.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It just it really opens your eye up to appreciate,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you know, our country. It really does, to be quite
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: honest with you. So but and then just how people
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: love each other and how families love each other and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: they do everything they can for each other like they should.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: So it's it's it's neat. It's just neat. You know.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: It just shows you you don't necessarily need to have
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of money to be happy. You just need
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to have a good, happy family and love each other.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so that that's hopefully that answers that question.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that that is the fan questions And for
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: our Patriot members, thank you guys for joining and please remember,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you know, throw out your questions and it might get
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: rid on the show.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, we really appreciate that when
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: they come in, you know.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And I like it. I like the questions, I really do.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's fun. Sometimes I can ramble a little
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: bit and I apologize, but you know, I really do
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: like them. I really do. It's it's neat to like
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: and asked me. I asked me some of the harder
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: questions too. I don't I don't mind talking about training
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and some of the other stuff. I want to pass
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: on a lot of the knowledge that I have in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: my head. So but anyway, well, you know, Nick.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I wanted to ask you.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, he Man came out this last Friday,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: and uh.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: I'm planning on seeing it this weekend.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Because I was so busy last weekend, I didn't have
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: a chance to so but I am going this weekend.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: M Okay, that's cool. I saw more of Kombat.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Oh you saw Mortal Kombat to see.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: My plan was, I wanted to see Mortal Kombat, he
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Man and then, uh, you know, I'm a big action
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: martial arts movie and the movie Furious just came out,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: and it's the It's the next one that I wanted
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: to go see. So I got a list of movies
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: that I wanted a tempt to see this weekend if possible.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, Mortal Kombat. You can just get on your
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: home theater stuff. So that's what I did, because oh yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not coming Oh yeah, yeah, not moving around anymore.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: I have to exactly exactly.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, it's uh, Mortal Kombat was actually pretty good.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: It was better than I thought it was going to be.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same story over and over again,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: just again it's different.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Well remember the last couple of Mortal Kombats compared to
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and even the last one they did on HBO was
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: really good. But the graphics are there and the c

• 20:58
  Speaker 1: is coming up as well. But I'm getting a little
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: nervous about that because, like I said, my hip is
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: still draining.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and guess what, it's gonna it'll come to the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: wire whether you can go or not. But it's it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: better safe than sorry. Miss a year and then guess what,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: come back next year and be right on right on top.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: But I'm not ruling it out yet, but it's.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying rule it out, but I'm just saying it's.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Starting to make me a little nervous. So I got
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to get this infection out of it.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and at least.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Intervenious antibiotics, so that's.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, it does look a
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: lot better.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: It's healing up. It's only leaking out of two places
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: now instead of the whole entire thing.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: So exactly.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I mean it's getting better. It is getting better. It's just.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I just well, you know, And that's one of those
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: things too, is like even at this point, you know, uh,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: we we have a sponsor. Uh it's uh Invictor. They
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: do hr T, they do peptides and all on your
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: medical ser you know, and uh, one of the you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: one of the things that we want to do. Now
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: that Nick's feeling a lot better and doing a lot better,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: We're gonna actually get one of the doctors to join
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: us to even explaining a lot of this stuff because
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot of mysters mysteria and like
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: not mystery and like this everyone. You know, there's a
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: lot of mumbo jumbo on the on the internet. But
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the thing is when you can actually understand.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: The experts on the internets that don't let doctors do
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: so it's it's usually better to have the doctor on
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and talk to the doctor exactly.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And that's the whole point, you know what I'm saying
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: we're gonna we want to get somebody on and also
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to that even map.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Out, map out your recovery a little bit more.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so you know, if you guys have questions
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: like that for one of the doctors, uh, send that,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: send that in because we'll hold those. So if you
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: have questions about that, send those in and we'll hold
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: those till we have that head on and then once
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: we have the dot com we can we'll throw those
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: into our questions as well.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: Exactly, never hurts, never hurts.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing too, is a lot of people
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: have questions, but they don't know who to talk to.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: And the majority of uh, mainstream doctors will never give
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: you the information that you really need to hear, you
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. That's the one thing about these
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: concent air doctors. They're they're a little bit more you know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: they're not worried about insurance. And because they're not worried
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: about insurance, they have a little bit more free ran
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: to speak freely about alternative medication.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Well, oh yeah, they're not nun worried about pissing off
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the insurance companies and yeah, some of the other things.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: So that's that's good. And also the government they're allowed
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to that's that's their job. So exactly, they're allowed to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: prescribe these things. So it's it's so much different when
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: they talk about things, so they don't have.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: To afford yep.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: And it's just one of those things that you I'll say,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: it's like really getting the real information out there and
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: not and not getting the mumbo jumbo that we see
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: on Instagram and TikTok all day long.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah so but but yeah, so it's going pretty good.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: It's just his birthday today, so happy birthday.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Happy birthday. Yes, they will throw a little post out
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: there for Big nineteen, Big nineteen.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Man, you know, she's just a you know, my daughter
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: just turned eighteen in March. She'll be nineteen next March.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: So it's just you know, it's that age is just ough.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah, I know that exactly.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: No instruction on it's like, you know, the one thing
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: you say is you've got to spoiler enough to make no,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: make everyone else not worth it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah for sure. So but it looks like she
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: had a great day, so that's all that matters. Yeah. Yeah,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: So just kind of doing things and takes and care
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of business and then just trying to get the rehab
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: stuff done.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: And well, you know, and that's one thing too, is
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: getting the retab stuff done.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Checking in because that's more what these podcasts are right now,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: giving giving a nice update because.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start I'm going to start taking the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: phone in and doing some stuff in the garage and
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: recording some of that so you guys can see some
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: of the process and kind of where I'm at now.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do the stuff where I'm pulling
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the bantages off and yeah, you know, show the show
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the wounds and stuff. But yeah, small progress, that's all
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: we small progress. Well we'll sit there, I mean, because
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's funny. I mean, it's funny when you can't
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: even when you have a hard time stepping up onto
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: a six inch step. It's and then when you go
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: to come up with that, you don't have the power
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and your leg to push off to stand up that step.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So you start working at you know, three steps, and
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: today I was doing about a four step, just working up,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: stepping up, putting my other foot up, stepping back down,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: up and down, up and down, just trying to get
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: it and a little deeper, a little deeper. Same with
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: getting on a a out of seats and stuff like
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: getting out of bed and trying to stand up out
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: of bed.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: It's exactly.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: I definitely, if you've got to get a hip, if
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: you need to get both your hips replaced, do one
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: at a time. Definitely, do one at a time. I mean,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: once you get to that point at about two months,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: when you get to the point where you start getting
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: some of your strength back and you start doing some
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of these things, Yeah, it's gonna go pretty quick from
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: that point on. But yeah, those first two months are
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: definitely challenging.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Say that right, Yeah, yeah, Well, you know, like I said,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: we talked about this before off air, where expectations were
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: set maybe a little bit higher than we thought.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's told it's gonna be a lot easier than
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: what it was.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly exactly.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: So where they give you devices to help you put
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: on your clothes with so that you know, you learn
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: how to stick your foot through there and pull your
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: shorts up and then pull your you know, and pull
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: the clothes up, and they give you a little device
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: that you put a sock over and then you pull
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the sock on to the device and stuff like that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: So there's you can still do things yourself. It's just
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: a little more challenging. It takes a little more time,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: which is fine. You just you just once you get
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: back to where you where, you just appreciate it so
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: much more. So it's it's great. It's it's a humbling experience.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I will say that.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: That's okay, that's okay.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: It is okay.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, because guess what you're building
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: off the foundation of what you can be stronger after.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: This is said and done.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Well before we get out of here, Nick, because like
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I said, I you know you, I don't want you
• 27:55

  Speaker 1: lot for people to deal with in the UC when
