  Speaker 1: But in preparing for Natalie, she's gonna be away, She's
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: going through what so many of us fifty five plus
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: go through. Number one problem for those who are fifty
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: five plus, Slarry back pain. Oh, so many people in
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: America back pain. In fact, isn't it ironic? My number
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: one enemy is Ando Evilized Cuomo, But his father, Mario Cuomo,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: was our number one supporter for the Guardian Angels, which
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: lieutenant governor. And I would go up to Albany and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: he would give these great presentations, and I'd sit in
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: his office there had a special chair, and I'd also
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: ask him, how come you never go out of state?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: You know everybody else is going out of state. They're
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: making presentations.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You know you're a great lady. He goes, I gotta
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: tell you, I gotta be back in his chair.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I gotta be in my online match, especially made this
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: is in the seventies, remember late seventies, early eighties. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: have incredible back pain, and Americans are plagued by back
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: pain more than any other pain. There would be considered
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: chronic pain. And to live with that, imagine morning, noon,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and night, when no relief, no matter how you turn
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in your chair and your bed, can't sleep. All those problems,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but the number two problem for chronic paint knees. And
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that's what Natalie is facing now. She's been running around
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: for years, like you mentioned, for the Gamblings, for Joan Hamburg,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: even for Mark Simone. She's always been ready here to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: do whatever was required of her as number one, I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: would say, number one producer in the total business of ours,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: this thing of ours, and I've done I've dealt with
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of them over the years.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: But she if you.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Notice of late at times, she'll be walking around and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: then all of sudd oh, you could see that grimace
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: on her face.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Pain, what's wrong that? Leave my knees? My knees.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Oh we were walking back one day I was actually
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: behind her from the parking garage to get in here.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And one day she actually had to go down to
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the ground because her knee was so bad. And do
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know that there was a guy that was a
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: doorman in one of the hotels that saw her and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: ran out with a cane and gave it to her
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: so she could make it to work. He said, look,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: people leave these behind in the rooms all the time,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So don't worry about it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Just keep it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Here's a cane. This I hope will help you. And
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that's how she made it in that's how bad it
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is though too.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And then you have to live with it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: because you know, at any moment it could be normal
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: for a while and then at any moment.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Have you had these back or knee pain?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Actually, my knees.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You saw me on that iheartflowed forget right right man.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: People were saying, for a seventy two year old guy,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you're twerking you going down.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Your knees must be in good shape. Never had the knee.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Problem, never had the back problem. I'll get into it
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: momentarily to show the problem. Oh, I don't know, my
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but most people's knee problems are the results of cartilage
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the joints wearing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Out, because those are like your shock absorbers.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Now you can go to the mechanic right to fix
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: it shop and they put in new shock absorbers. Problem is,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: when your cartilage wears out, you have a number of options,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and one of them could be knee replacement. You know
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: where I first learned about this actually was Tom Cuddy.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Was he programmed director over at WPLJ when WABC was
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: right next to it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: We would walk back and forth.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I walk into Scott Shannon's office number one in the morning.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Why none, you know, I mean, we're talking super Hall
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of Fame. I always knew he loved to play golf,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and he couldn't play golf for a while, which.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Made him very angry.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, he's playing golf again. I said, Scott, Scott,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: how are you playing golf? You said at times you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: were hobbling, you were in such incredible pain. And then
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: he points to his knees and he goes, I got
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: titanium knees.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Titanium knees.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And then naturally, my next question is how do you
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: get through the metal detector?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And did he say, well, hell, oh my god, he
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: felt so great. He was golfing again.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Hell I got through the medal, probably because he was
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Cat Shannon. I didn't want to push it too far,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: but I have seen people in incredible pain, and obviously
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we hope the best. Finatalie, you're going through some testing now,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: but there are so many people with a knee pain syndrome,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and it's something you can't be off your feet unless
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you're in obviously a wheelchair.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've never had back problems, never in my whole life.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And somebody told me when I was very young that
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the way to avoid back problems is your abdomens. You
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: do sit ups, make sure your abdomens are strong, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that's gonna help you some. Yeah, crunches I do.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I do him.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I've done him every single night of my life. It
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: didn't help with the fat I'm getting, but it does
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: help the abdom and stay strong underneath underneath this fat,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: there's some strength under there. But I did have my
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: knees go out, but that's when I played basketball. I
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: had to lock up one time to a point where
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I had to sit down on the floor while it
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: was actually locked.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you know nowadays with all the sports doctors, they
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: can say, well we got to check, you know, maybe
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a tear of the meniscus. You notice how all of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a sudden we learned what the meniscus say is because
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: of ESPN.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: That's that crushing shaped piece of cartilage that absorbs the shock.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So if that, if that all of a sudden wears
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the way, you got nothing to absorb the shock or
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the other one. When they show you the diagrams of
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: this NFL play. Who's out for the season. Oh, he
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: popped his ACL? What is a pop ACL? And then
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I realized it's those four major rope like ligaments. They're
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: really attached to the knee and if you pop out
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: one of them and all of a sudden, you have
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to have it replaced a sawn up.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: He never had this. I remember Mickey manno had any problems.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: You know what.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: He used booze because he was an alcoholic. He would
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: go after after playing baseball, he'd be in that pool
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that they use, I forget what they whirlpool, and then
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he would have.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: The ace bandage. So I thought for years the ace
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: bandage was.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Just that's just trying to limit the extent of how
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: much you bend your knee.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I had a bad shoulder one time, and I had
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a bad knee. courtA zone shot. That's the most amazing
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: thing in the entire world. I'm sure that some of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the people listening have had a quarter zone shot, but
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: it's incredible.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: So I couldn't. I just couldn't.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Been my knee. As I told you, it really hurt
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: go in. All they did was As a matter of fact,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I went to a hospital and the doctor was taking
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: around some interns and some medical students with him. So
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I had about I had about thirty people show up
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: as I'm sitting on the table and they walked up
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and he's talking to them. He's not talking to me.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Takes a needle, sticks it at my knee. They walk on.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: That's it. I'm done, And so you you had no
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: problems there after? Oh my god, it was like the
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: day after the day after it was better. My shoulder too,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: same way I could, I couldn't move it. They put
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: cortis on my shoulder. It was fun. So that was
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: like miracle drug d W forty oil right for rushed exactly.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what it was.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It was. It could have been much cheaper for me.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Now my shoulders have created problems. I had a shredded
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: rotator cuff. Not like when the rotator cuff completely goes.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: It's shredded, so it's still there, but it's like barely
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: hanging on. Naturally, surgeons not only one thing cut cut cut,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: do surgery.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: So I met this guy in.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: New York who used stem cell therapy illegal in New York,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: illegal illegal in almost every state in the nation, except
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I think in Texas. They do it because naturally the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: American Metic Association, if they find out that your own
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: stem cells that he took out of my back and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: then cleaned them up and injected them into the inflamed
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: area up here on the shoulder was successful, they wouldn't
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: be doing all these surgeries.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: So they blocked it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It worked not when I got the shot right into
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the affected area, it hurt like hell.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: For a day.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I thought I made the biggest mistake in my life.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Within a day and a half two days, I'm lifting
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: my arm over my head. It was incredible. And then
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: tiss chains hit the guy put him out of business.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Suit him for every nickel diamond penny. You can't too.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You know stem cells there, remember, because of your case,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: no other cases. But these are not the stem cells
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that are controversial. You know from a baby's placenta and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: You know, they no, no, your own stem cells. What
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: it is?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: He explained it so well, He goes, you got stem
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: cells in every part of your body, and if you
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: put them on a troop carrier, like when I clean
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: them up, I take them out and I inject them
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: into the effected they go right to work to deal
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: with the inflammation because information causes most chronic pain no
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: matter what the problem is. And boy did it worked
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: for me. Now I think other than Texas, you have
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to go overseas, which is so ridiculous to at least
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: have that as an option to chronic pain.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Well, we should definitely get some talkbacks because everybody has
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: their stories, everybody has their solutions, everybody has ideas on
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: how to avoid this kind of stuff. So if you
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: want to leave us a talkback, you go to the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app and that's where you leave it. You could
• 10:31

• 10:52
  Speaker 2: legendary reception. Well, I'll tell you what, Curtis, We've all
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: been there, right, We've all not liked the topic either.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: We had to do in the radio or or when
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: we were on the news or in a talk show,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and we keep it to ourselves. We suck it up
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: because others want to do it.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, you gotta put on a happy face.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: One guy on Fox News went ballistic because he didn't
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: like the topic they were talking about. We're going to
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: play it for you coming up next.
• 11:14
