Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, guys, what's up? After show podcast? They have to
- 0:03Speaker 1: show army. Thank you for joining, Thank you for listening.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Today is Wednesday. It's May twenty seventh, almost June. Memorial
- 0:11Speaker 1: Day was early this year. I was listening to BZ
- 0:13Speaker 1: on the way in and apparently this only happens every
- 0:16Speaker 1: so often. It's a long summer, so because Memorial Day
- 0:19Speaker 1: is early and then Labor Day is late, we have
- 0:22Speaker 1: like an extended summer, so that makes sense. Labor Day,
- 0:25Speaker 1: I think is September seventh, maybe somewhere around there. I
- 0:28Speaker 1: heard the whole report. It was actually pretty good. So
- 0:30Speaker 1: the weather, though, has not been that good. It's been ugly.
- 0:34Speaker 1: This weekend does not look good at all. And really
- 0:37Speaker 1: the weather is such it plays such an impact I
- 0:39Speaker 1: feel like on our moods. I know it's not just me.
- 0:42Speaker 1: When I look at the forecast and I see rain
- 0:46Speaker 1: on the weekends, it's like, oh man. And it's harder
- 0:48Speaker 1: too when you have kids, because then you're stuck in
- 0:50Speaker 1: the house, so you gotta go find things to do
- 0:52Speaker 1: that are indoors. Especially my son Able. He's very active.
- 0:55Speaker 1: He is all about that action, you know what I mean.
- 0:58Speaker 1: He needs action at all time. He is not an
- 1:01Speaker 1: iPad kid. He has an iPad which he uses, but
- 1:04Speaker 1: only when there's nothing else going on, and that's something
- 1:06Speaker 1: that I love. He will choose going outside nine point
- 1:10Speaker 1: nine times out of ten. He does not want to
- 1:13Speaker 1: sit in the house on a screen. He does not,
- 1:15Speaker 1: but you know he'll he'll use it. If he's at home,
- 1:18Speaker 1: he's on he uses the Kid's Messenger. So all of
- 1:20Speaker 1: his friends are all on this Kid's Messenger thing, so
- 1:22Speaker 1: he talks in a group. Chat's acually kind of cute
- 1:25Speaker 1: to all of his friends and if you look at it,
- 1:27Speaker 1: it's all their faces in a little boxes. It's kind
- 1:29Speaker 1: of like a zoom call. And you know, he talks
- 1:32Speaker 1: to them and they play games and all that stuff.
- 1:34Speaker 1: But we monitor, you know, we have all the parental
- 1:37Speaker 1: controls on it, so he can't just go, you know,
- 1:39Speaker 1: search for anything. And it's interesting too because on the messenger,
- 1:44Speaker 1: if if anything comes on the screen, I don't really
- 1:47Speaker 1: understand it, but if anything comes on the screen that's
- 1:49Speaker 1: deemed offensive, it turns it basically blocks you. So like
- 1:54Speaker 1: one of his friends, I forget what they It was
- 1:57Speaker 1: a girl. I think what she put up on the screen.
- 1:59Speaker 1: It was an offensive, but it thought it was and
- 2:02Speaker 1: it blocked her. It shuts her off for like ten minutes,
- 2:04Speaker 1: and it contacts the adult who monitors the thing. So
- 2:08Speaker 1: that makes me feel better. But we're raising kids in
- 2:11Speaker 1: a digital world. It's it's just the world that we
- 2:14Speaker 1: live in. You know, he's on there, and you know
- 2:17Speaker 1: he goes to the Boys and Girls Club, so he
- 2:19Speaker 1: meets with older kids who teach him things like bad
- 2:22Speaker 1: jokes that he goes to school and tells. And you know,
- 2:26Speaker 1: I just try to be as honest as I can
- 2:28Speaker 1: with him. I always say, ask me anything. I won't
- 2:30Speaker 1: get mad if you make a mistake. I won't get mad.
- 2:34Speaker 1: If you make the same mistake twice, you will be punished.
- 2:37Speaker 1: The first time you get a pass, but if you
- 2:39Speaker 1: do it again, that means you knew better. But the
- 2:42Speaker 1: first time, okay, you didn't know any better. You're growing up.
- 2:45Speaker 1: You don't know, you don't know you know how to
- 2:48Speaker 1: act necessarily. But once you know and you're told and
- 2:51Speaker 1: you learn, and you do it again and then a punishment,
- 2:54Speaker 1: punishment comes telling you, man, this parents and thing. That's
- 2:57Speaker 1: why this new Breadwinner movie we talked about the show
- 3:00Speaker 1: comes out Thursday, about dad hacks because Nate Barghetti's in
- 3:04Speaker 1: this movie where he has to take care of the
- 3:06Speaker 1: kids the wife goes away and he has to come
- 3:08Speaker 1: up with his own hacks that are much different than hers.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And I mentioned on the show today, you know Jen.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I texted Jen and say, hey, what are some some
- 3:16Speaker 1: dad hacks that I have, thinking, oh, she's gonna have
- 3:20Speaker 1: a bunch. No, it's basically the way I dressed Gemma.
- 3:23Speaker 1: I dress her like with pajama tops and then regular
- 3:26Speaker 1: pants hunt or the zipper in the back or the
- 3:28Speaker 1: buttons on the front of a button down when it's
- 3:31Speaker 1: meant for the back. I always had the buttons went
- 3:33Speaker 1: in the front. I didn't know they went on the back.
- 3:34Speaker 1: But and then she said, I legit took her to
- 3:36Speaker 1: the mall once in her pajamas. I did do that. Yes,
- 3:40Speaker 1: I'm not the best with getting her dressed. Oh, in
- 3:42Speaker 1: the pull ups, you know the pull ups, there's writing
- 3:45Speaker 1: on it that says back, but I'll put the pull
- 3:48Speaker 1: up on on backwards. My poor daughter doesn't even doesn't
- 3:51Speaker 1: know the difference. So I remember the last time I
- 3:53Speaker 1: put it on backwards, and she started complaining that her
- 3:55Speaker 1: you know, crotch area was itchy, and I'm like, oh god,
- 3:59Speaker 1: oh god, because you know, I don't really know a
- 4:01Speaker 1: ton about the lady parts. So when she started complaining
- 4:06Speaker 1: about that area, I like have anxiety, especially my wife's
- 4:09Speaker 1: not there, and so then I'm like, all right, let
- 4:11Speaker 1: me look at it. So then I took the pull
- 4:13Speaker 1: up off and I saw that said back on the
- 4:15Speaker 1: on the front. So you know what, maybe I should
- 4:18Speaker 1: go see the movie this weekend and learn some dad acts.
- 4:22Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, what else is going on?
- 4:24Speaker 2: Hey, justinis Lynn, I know you were talking about taking
- 4:28Speaker 2: a break from working out. I think that's a great idea,
- 4:31Speaker 2: letting your body heal. And you know, you know your body,
- 4:33Speaker 2: so you know what you need to do and what
- 4:35Speaker 2: not to do. I know that what worked for me.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I used to walk four mile today before my foot
- 4:42Speaker 2: injury and that was a great release. So just walk
- 4:46Speaker 2: around your neighborhood for like an hour or so. It'll
- 4:49Speaker 2: do wonders for you, trust me. Okay, have a good day.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Oh thank you, Lynn, thank you for that. I'm back
- 4:54Speaker 1: in the gym. I was. I went back yesterday, had
- 4:56Speaker 1: a good workout. I am feeling better. Actually, you know, what.
- 5:02Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you about what happened. So I
- 5:05Speaker 1: had been not been feeling good. My body was beat up. Obviously,
- 5:08Speaker 1: you know overtraining did play a part in it, but
- 5:13Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out. I was trying to
- 5:15Speaker 1: figure out exactly why it was happening, why I knew
- 5:19Speaker 1: that I was overtraining. Okay, So then I took a
- 5:21Speaker 1: week off. And I would have thought that after the week,
- 5:25Speaker 1: after a few days, I would have felt better, but
- 5:28Speaker 1: I didn't. I continually felt bad, just a lot of inflammation.
- 5:32Speaker 1: My hips hurt. My shoulder, I have an injury there,
- 5:35Speaker 1: but that hurt. My knee hurt. I just felt my
- 5:38Speaker 1: joints inflamed. And I really couldn't figure it out. And
- 5:43Speaker 1: I thought about it, and I looked into it to
- 5:46Speaker 1: my text to my friend Mike, and I remember I
- 5:48Speaker 1: had texted him that I didn't feel good and that
- 5:50Speaker 1: I needed a break. It just popped into my head
- 5:52Speaker 1: that I had texted him. So I went back and
- 5:54Speaker 1: looked at the date, and the date was like April
- 5:57Speaker 1: twenty third. I had texted him and said, you know,
- 5:59Speaker 1: my he's kind of beat up. I don't know because
- 6:02Speaker 1: I pulled out of the New York High Rocks, which
- 6:04Speaker 1: is this weekend. So that was kind of the beginning
- 6:06Speaker 1: of like realizing that I had to pull out, plus
- 6:08Speaker 1: the shoulder injury. So then it made sense to me.
- 6:11Speaker 1: I had gone to see my doctor, and you know,
- 6:14Speaker 1: my hair is a big very important to me. My
- 6:17Speaker 1: hair is very important to me, and it's thinning, right
- 6:20Speaker 1: because I'm getting older, so on the top it's thinning.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And so you know, they've medications you can take. They
- 6:26Speaker 1: have things like Rogain topical or whatever, but they also
- 6:30Speaker 1: have a pill monoxidal. Monoxidal is what rogain is. So
- 6:33Speaker 1: Rogain is like the topical monoxidal, but they also have
- 6:36Speaker 1: like a pill you can take once a day. So
- 6:38Speaker 1: I talked to my doctor about it, and the doctor said, yes,
- 6:40Speaker 1: we can. I give you the monoxidle, no problem, just
- 6:41Speaker 1: take it once a day and it works well. It's
- 6:45Speaker 1: well studied. There's very little side effects. You know, it
- 6:49Speaker 1: can affect your heart a little bit, but that's in
- 6:51Speaker 1: rare cases, so just take it if you feel any
- 6:53Speaker 1: kind of fluttering in the heart. I'm like, geez, okay,
- 6:56Speaker 1: I'll try it. But apparently it works and it's what
- 6:58Speaker 1: men can do to kind of about the hair loss.
- 7:02Speaker 1: So I started taking the monoxidol that same week, and
- 7:07Speaker 1: so I'm like, is it that? So I'm taking this
- 7:10Speaker 1: pill every day? Is that why I'm not getting better?
- 7:12Speaker 1: So I jumped online and I did a bunch of
- 7:14Speaker 1: research and sure enough, in rare cases, just like the
- 7:19Speaker 1: heart thing, it can cause severe joint inflammation. So basically
- 7:23Speaker 1: what happens is the monoxidle kills the collagen production in
- 7:26Speaker 1: your body and which causes you know, your joints and
- 7:29Speaker 1: tendence to become inflamed. So we were away this weekend
- 7:33Speaker 1: and I said to my wife, Oh my god, is
- 7:35Speaker 1: it that? And she goes, you need to decide for yourself.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Do you want your hair or do you want your
- 7:39Speaker 1: body to be messed up? So I took it Sunday,
- 7:43Speaker 1: did not take it Monday. Haven't taken it since, But
- 7:47Speaker 1: Monday felt the same. Yesterday, my first day back of
- 7:49Speaker 1: the gym, I felt better. Today, I felt better. The
- 7:53Speaker 1: inflammation has gone away. Isn't that amazing? So yeah, and
- 7:58Speaker 1: I should add too, by the way, that I was
- 8:00Speaker 1: hesitant to try the monoxidal pill because I had tried
- 8:05Speaker 1: the Roguain topical. I think it was last year, which
- 8:08Speaker 1: is a pain in the ass because you have to
- 8:09Speaker 1: apply it twice a day. But I was using it
- 8:13Speaker 1: and it completely crushed my libido. That's another side effect
- 8:16Speaker 1: of things like finasteride and these hair products is like
- 8:21Speaker 1: sexual side effects, and so I didn't think it would
- 8:23Speaker 1: happen with the monoxido. I never tried finasteride, but the
- 8:26Speaker 1: topical monoxidolt completely completely killed in my libido. I had
- 8:31Speaker 1: no sex drive. So I had asked the doctor about
- 8:33Speaker 1: that and he said, yeah, you shouldn't get that with
- 8:35Speaker 1: the pill. But so I'm gonna go back to him
- 8:37Speaker 1: and be like, dude, I don't know, Uh, I don't
- 8:40Speaker 1: know what's going on. This is the life adjustin man.
- 8:43Speaker 1: It's always something. But no, I love my hair, and
- 8:45Speaker 1: you know, it's just scary to look in the mirror
- 8:47Speaker 1: and see put my head down and just see the thinning.
- 8:51Speaker 1: But it's a part of life. So I think I
- 8:52Speaker 1: just need to embrace it. You know. I have like
- 8:55Speaker 1: a shrimp shampoo that's supposed to help with like you know,
- 8:58Speaker 1: root stuff. I don't fear getting old, you know, I
- 9:01Speaker 1: know that's gonna come, but you know, things like losing
- 9:05Speaker 1: my hair. I'm like, oh god, I don't like that.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Like getting wrinkles and all that stuff doesn't really bother me.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I'm not a huge boatox guy. I've gotten boatox, but
- 9:12Speaker 1: I wouldn't pay for it. I got it for free
- 9:14Speaker 1: through an endorsement, you know. But things like my hair
- 9:17Speaker 1: are really, really really important to me. So yeah, it's
- 9:21Speaker 1: coming for us all man. You know, you talk to
- 9:23Speaker 1: my dad. My dad is seventy three. You're gonna be
- 9:26Speaker 1: seventy four. And you know I talked to him about
- 9:29Speaker 1: you know, he when you talk about death, you know,
- 9:31Speaker 1: it's a tough subject. But you know, he basically says,
- 9:35Speaker 1: you know, I'm on the back half of my life
- 9:37Speaker 1: and that's a tough thing to deal with, to think
- 9:39Speaker 1: about that the end is coming, you know. But then
- 9:42Speaker 1: we have a conversation about about accepting it, right, And
- 9:46Speaker 1: I've talked before about this of accepting that that's coming.
- 9:49Speaker 1: You know, if my brother told me once, when we
- 9:51Speaker 1: accept life, whether we wanted to or not, we accepted it,
- 9:55Speaker 1: you have to accept death. So that's the way it is.
- 9:57Speaker 1: And you know, getting older is something that you know,
- 10:00Speaker 1: I got to be grateful to be able to do
- 10:02Speaker 1: because there was a time when I couldn't. I didn't
- 10:05Speaker 1: think i'd make it to twenty or thirty, you know,
- 10:08Speaker 1: and I did. So every day is a blessing. And
- 10:10Speaker 1: I think it's all about my mindset and taking care
- 10:12Speaker 1: of my health and my body, and taking care of
- 10:14Speaker 1: my family and doing all of these things consistently every
- 10:17Speaker 1: single day to be a better human. And as I
- 10:19Speaker 1: get older, hopefully my kids will take care of me,
- 10:22Speaker 1: or at least my daughter. You know, they always say,
- 10:24Speaker 1: have daughters if you want someone to take care of
- 10:26Speaker 1: you when you get older.
- 10:27Speaker 3: Oh, hey, justin, I'm wondering if you know Victor the
- 10:30Speaker 3: Good Boss. I follow him on Instagram. I think he's
- 10:32Speaker 3: a north Shore guy, so from the area. He finds
- 10:37Speaker 3: people suffering with homelessness and addiction on the streets, and
- 10:40Speaker 3: he raises money and gets them into deep talks and
- 10:43Speaker 3: recovery programs and raises money for them after helps him
- 10:48Speaker 3: find a job. I think he'd be an awesome after
- 10:50Speaker 3: show podcast guest.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Oh, Victor the Good Boss. Never met him, but what
- 10:54Speaker 1: an amazing job that kid is doing. I love, love,
- 10:57Speaker 1: love his videos. So good, so good doing amazing work.
- 11:00Speaker 1: If you don't follow him, Victor The Good Boss, and
- 11:03Speaker 1: I think he's from Tuksbury. He has a landscape company,
- 11:06Speaker 1: but he also spends a lot of his time helping
- 11:09Speaker 1: addicts in the homeless. He kind of drives around and
- 11:12Speaker 1: you just have to go watch the videos. But you know,
- 11:14Speaker 1: he'll just pull up to people on the street and
- 11:16Speaker 1: he'll offer them food and he'll offer them a bed.
- 11:18Speaker 1: You know. Now he's built connections with all of these
- 11:20Speaker 1: facilities like in Florida and California, and he'll literally have
- 11:24Speaker 1: scholarships which are basically free care beds. So he'll pull
- 11:27Speaker 1: up to them and say, you know, would you like
- 11:29Speaker 1: something to eat? And then they'll he'll say, do you
- 11:31Speaker 1: want help? I can get you on a plane right now.
- 11:34Speaker 1: And he'll get them on a plane. He'll get them
- 11:36Speaker 1: all set up, and it's really tough because he'll do
- 11:39Speaker 1: updates and you know, addiction, you know, we have a
- 11:41Speaker 1: disease that wants us to run, you know. So some
- 11:43Speaker 1: of them that take the beds and then go back
- 11:45Speaker 1: out is really sad. But there's also a lot of
- 11:47Speaker 1: success stories which are amazing. One thing about Victor the
- 11:52Speaker 1: Good Boss, you know, when I watch his page, I
- 11:54Speaker 1: always like think about seeing people that I know. And
- 11:57Speaker 1: one time I did, well, my wife did. A friend
- 12:00Speaker 1: of ours from a long time ago that we hadn't
- 12:02Speaker 1: seen in a while was homeless in Boston, and he
- 12:05Speaker 1: pulled up and she came over, and unfortunately she did
- 12:08Speaker 1: not take the bed. He gave her a phone, because
- 12:11Speaker 1: usually sometimes he'll give him a phone, like a prepaid phone,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and he'll say, you know, because god, I feel this
- 12:17Speaker 1: so much like when you're at the end, at the
- 12:20Speaker 1: straight bottom, and like treatment becomes an option or you
- 12:23Speaker 1: get offered treatment. It's always like, but you got to
- 12:26Speaker 1: go right now. It's always like I can't go right now.
- 12:28Speaker 1: I gotta do one more, like I need a couple
- 12:30Speaker 1: more hours. It's never just drop everything and go because
- 12:33Speaker 1: you just want that, you know, Okay, I'm gonna I'm
- 12:36Speaker 1: gonna get cleaned this time, but I want one last hurrah.
- 12:39Speaker 1: And so I think he'll give him the phone and say, okay,
- 12:41Speaker 1: do you want to go? Yes, but I can't go
- 12:43Speaker 1: right now. Well, here's the phone. Take care of your business.
- 12:46Speaker 1: I'll call your phone at this time tomorrow. And that's
- 12:49Speaker 1: how we can kind of gauge if they're willing, if
- 12:51Speaker 1: they answer the phone, and she took the phone and
- 12:53Speaker 1: didn't answer. So I don't know where she is now,
- 12:55Speaker 1: but you know, my wife and I pray for her
- 12:58Speaker 1: all the time that she will not die and that
- 13:01Speaker 1: she will find her way back to recovery because she
- 13:03Speaker 1: has had long term recovery before. So shout out to Victor,
- 13:06Speaker 1: the good boss, doing amazing, amazing things. All right, So
- 13:10Speaker 1: that's gonna do it for me. About to jump in
- 13:11Speaker 1: a meeting tomorrow. Another after show will happen. Maddie and
- 13:15Speaker 1: Damon were great. I did get some talkbacks. Oh, let
- 13:18Speaker 1: me play one right now. Hold on, let me see.
- 13:21Speaker 2: I just left my first step up.
- 13:23Speaker 3: I think I'm not sure if it went through that.
- 13:25Speaker 3: I'm voting for part two of Maddie's story.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yeah, Maddie told his story, but we only got to
- 13:30Speaker 1: half of it. We got to when he got clean,
- 13:32Speaker 1: and then we kind of got sidetracked, which I knew it,
- 13:34Speaker 1: but we were going kind of long. And I'm gonna
- 13:36Speaker 1: be honest with you. It was my first day back
- 13:38Speaker 1: to the gym and I wanted to get there to
- 13:40Speaker 1: make my class, so I kind of had to wrap
- 13:42Speaker 1: it up. But that's okay because we only got the
- 13:45Speaker 1: first half the second half, which is the amazing part,
- 13:48Speaker 1: is after he got clean and all of his success
- 13:51Speaker 1: in the recovery world and everything that he's built in
- 13:54Speaker 1: the successful business. So we'll get that half and then
- 13:56Speaker 1: we'll get Damon's story later. Maybe I'll share my story too,
- 13:59Speaker 1: although I've shared so much of it. So much of
- 14:02Speaker 1: my life is just is filled with, you know, the
- 14:04Speaker 1: disease of addiction in some way. Obviously I have it,
- 14:08Speaker 1: I'll always have it. But you know, a lot of
- 14:11Speaker 1: the stuff that I don't talk about is are people
- 14:14Speaker 1: that are struggling around me. And it's all the time, man.
- 14:17Speaker 1: You know, I have friends of mine that people that relapse,
- 14:20Speaker 1: people that are just coming back getting clean again, and
- 14:24Speaker 1: it's my job to be there for them, you know.
- 14:26Speaker 1: I mean, I'm dealing with one right now, a good
- 14:28Speaker 1: friend of mine that you know, had a big setback.
- 14:31Speaker 1: And yeah, it's it's really tough, man. It's really tough
- 14:35Speaker 1: when you meet somebody that's in recovery, you meet them
- 14:38Speaker 1: while they're in recovery, and then they really that this
- 14:40Speaker 1: happened many times, and then they relapse and then you
- 14:43Speaker 1: see the other side. You know, it's so hard for
- 14:45Speaker 1: people to see me as an active addict. You know,
- 14:48Speaker 1: when I talk about being on the streets or I
- 14:50Speaker 1: talk about, you know, being in jail or any of
- 14:53Speaker 1: those things, it's hard to imagine what that justin must
- 14:56Speaker 1: have been like. But that was a real person. And
- 14:59Speaker 1: it's the same I meet people in recovery and then
- 15:01Speaker 1: they relapse.
- 15:02Speaker 3: You know.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I had a mentor when I first got clean, and
- 15:06Speaker 1: this guy like helped me tremendously because he kind of
- 15:10Speaker 1: got down to my level. You know, I could tell
- 15:12Speaker 1: he was a street guy. He but he had like
- 15:14Speaker 1: ten or fifteen years clean. I forget what he had
- 15:16Speaker 1: at the time, but we built a strong connection. He
- 15:19Speaker 1: sponsored a bunch of guys I used to hang out
- 15:21Speaker 1: with him. He taught me how to open a bank account,
- 15:24Speaker 1: he taught me how to save money, taught me about credit,
- 15:26Speaker 1: all those things. And you know, for whatever reason, he
- 15:30Speaker 1: went out after like fifteen years or something, and I
- 15:34Speaker 1: remember he never came back. But up I ended up
- 15:36Speaker 1: seeing him a couple of times after the last time
- 15:39Speaker 1: I saw him. You know, he had been out for
- 15:41Speaker 1: a year or two, in and out of jail, and
- 15:44Speaker 1: he walked into a meeting that I was at, and
- 15:46Speaker 1: it was like January third, right is beating a January
- 15:50Speaker 1: freezing outside. And he walked in and he was homeless,
- 15:53Speaker 1: I could tell. And I went up to him, and
- 15:56Speaker 1: when he spoke, it was like a different person. You know.
- 16:02Speaker 1: He had turned his life around, and he had had
- 16:05Speaker 1: so much success. He had a career, he had a wife,
- 16:08Speaker 1: had a house, he had all these things that I
- 16:10Speaker 1: that I wanted that I ended up getting, just like him,
- 16:13Speaker 1: and now he had nothing. And just the way that
- 16:16Speaker 1: he talked was very like street, you know, because he
- 16:21Speaker 1: had been on the street and that person that I
- 16:23Speaker 1: had met was in there somewhere but mostly gone. And
- 16:28Speaker 1: I just looked at him and said, dude, I want
- 16:30Speaker 1: to help you, Like where are you going right now?
- 16:32Speaker 1: And he hadn't know where to go, and I said,
- 16:35Speaker 1: you're just gonna walk away, You're just gonna walk down
- 16:38Speaker 1: the street. And he goes, yeah, no, no, no, I'm
- 16:41Speaker 1: all good. I won't go and I go, let me.
- 16:42Speaker 1: I'll take you to the hospital right now. I'll sit
- 16:45Speaker 1: with you in the hospital. I'll make sure you get
- 16:47Speaker 1: placed tonight. You cannot walk out in freezing weather. And
- 16:50Speaker 1: he just would not take it. And I'll never forget
- 16:52Speaker 1: I walked outside with him, and I just kept asking.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I'm like, please, please, please, and he wouldn't do it,
- 16:56Speaker 1: and finally I just give him a hugun I love
- 16:58Speaker 1: your brother, I'll pray for you, and here's my number.
- 17:02Speaker 1: You know, call me anytime and I'll never forget. He
- 17:04Speaker 1: just walked away into the freezing cold. It was like
- 17:08Speaker 1: nine thirty at night, and I never saw him again,
- 17:10Speaker 1: And ever since then, I google him every once in
- 17:13Speaker 1: a while, and to be honest with you, I google
- 17:15Speaker 1: his name and the obituary to see if, like, eventually
- 17:18Speaker 1: he passed away. I hope not. I'm thinking maybe he
- 17:20Speaker 1: got cleaned somewhere and he's out there somewhere, and hopefully
- 17:24Speaker 1: maybe we'll reconnect. But you know, you kind of always
- 17:26Speaker 1: got to play the other side as well. So anyway,
- 17:29Speaker 1: the meeting's about to start, so I gotta go. We'll
- 17:31Speaker 1: talk tomorrow.
- 17:31Speaker 2: BA
