Starting point is 00:00:00 That's annoying. What? You're a muffler. You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:08 Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bell Air Direct and use the money to fix your car. Bell Air Direct, insurance, simplified. Conditions apply. If you are driving a Nissan Central, manufactured from 2016 to 2019, you've got a recall issue. 854,000 central vehicles are
Starting point is 00:00:30 being recalled, and I love the headline because of brake light issues. Yeah, it's no problem. The lights might not come on when the brake pedal is pressed. Oh, is that it, though? Well, I mean, no. Look, you might be alerted on the dashboard if there's a problem, and sure your car might not start. But that's it though. Never mind. Don't worry about those little break lights that might not come on and you may or may not be alerted on the dashboard, but it might not start too. So that's really the biggest problem. I guess the reason is silicon contamination from grease used near the brake light switch. And I guess it causes oxidation and that causes the issue. Now, they don't have enough parts to fix all these cars.
Starting point is 00:01:27 So you're going to get a letter that will tell you you need to schedule a repair appointment if the malfunction happens to your car. Now, if it doesn't happen, well, then you're going to get a second letter that says, hey, sure, your car is still starting and the brake lights are still working, but you may have a problem, so bring it in and we'll fix it for you because they don't have enough parts. So they're creating the parts as we speak now. So they don't want all 8,500,000 centers
Starting point is 00:02:01 pulling up to the Nissan dealership to get the replacement because they don't have enough parts. So good luck. God bless. Welcome to chewing the fat. All right, before we get into today's, Well, today's run-through of the beautiful world we live in. I want to talk to you a little bit about what you're using to listen to this show and other shows in your life.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Are you done when you listen to things with headphones and, you know, look, we all are looking and watching things on our phone, on television, on our laptop, on our text. tablets all the time now. And your ears sometimes hurt because of the headphones you're using. And the way to stop that is using Raycon Wireless earbuds.

They've, when they, when they go in your ear and they're just there, they're just perfect. And you're hearing the audio from whatever device you're using and you're hearing it

So if you're thinking to yourself, man, I'd like to get away. Man, I need to get away. And I need to get away, you know, like on an island.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Well, now's the time. The largest private island in the Bahamas is up for sale. So you can get it. And it's going to go up for auction on the 26th of March, 2021. no minimum opening bid, and the current listing price is only $19.5 million. So, that's it. The southernmost island,
Starting point is 00:06:26 730 acres of white sand beaches and views of the Atlantic Ocean, more than 30,000 feet of shoreline, and is a 10-minute boat ride away from Dunkin Town nearby, miles of private beaches to wander, or a boutique resort with more than enough acreage to add an entire 18-hole golf course. Yeah, you could do that. You could just make it into a resort and a golf course. Wouldn't that be great?
Starting point is 00:06:59 And it's only you can get it. Well, it's going to start at $19.5 million. So it's probably going to be more than that. you'll be lucky I'm guessing it sells for 30 million 30 million because that's a I mean that's a big deal
Starting point is 00:07:19 get an island it costs a lot of upkeep man there's a lot of upkeep to an island not that I know that I mean with the island I have it isn't quite as large as that one you know but it is it's nice and the upkeep is what gets you
Starting point is 00:07:36 that's clear 730 acres and an island and 30,000 feet of shoreline, that's some serious upkeep. And there's no how you keep other people off of that island. You can't, right? I mean, it's just almost impossible. So, I mean, you just have to sign up, no trespassing. Uh-huh. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Good luck. No, seriously, good luck. I mean that. when you buy it. Maybe I'll, you know, take the opportunity to come by and, you know, see the island. So I told you about the morning emails, you know, that I go through, and one of them is called the morning brew, which, you know, I enjoy. I like the morning brew.
Starting point is 00:08:25 And, you know, they try to be funny. Try to be funny. And they have some good stories from time to time. And this one I thought was really kind of cool. they have a bracket for the greatest product of all time. And they're going to start with 64 products separated into four different regions of 16 products. Each region has the number one seed all the way down to the number 16 seed over the course of the tournament products will play each other and head-to-head matchups until they crown the greatest product of all time. So it's kind of like Morning Brewers, you know, March Madness,
Starting point is 00:09:04 brackets. And they're going to hold the series of polls on their Twitter account. And the product with more votes when the polls close will advance to the next round. And I thought we go through some of the products to see if you agree with who they feel are the greatest products of all time. So we just go down the list and you look at the unsung heroes. Then they have the innovators and simply make. life better and legends bracket.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Those are four different brackets. The unsung heroes, the innovators, the legends, and simply make life better. So in the unsung heroes, you have Microsoft Windows Post-it note, Tupperware, Salesforce, CRM, Bicklider, Tylenol, bear aspirin, Dr. Bonner's soap, Intel semi-conductor, Velcro, duct tape, Kleenex. Band-Aid Al-Hula Hot sauce. Up against Band-Aid?
Starting point is 00:10:12 Oh, no way. I mean, hello. Hot sauce is great and everything, but Band-Aid wins that. Google Maps, Bluetooth. Ooh, that's a tough one. Then in the Legends,
Starting point is 00:10:23 oh, we'll do the Legends last because those are big time. We'll do the Innovators. Innovators, iPhone, Oatley, Starbucks app, Peloton, White Claw,
Starting point is 00:10:34 Airpods. Tesla Model 3, Tidepods. Stop. I mean, some of these are going to be easy brackets. Nike Air Jordan 1, Nugs, TikTok, Air Friar, Snapchat, Red Bull. Wow, and the innovators, that's a, that's a big one right there, Snapchat and Red Bull. That's going to be a tough one. YouTube and the Zamboni. Both of those are here. Both of those are huge. I say we get to make the Zamboni just win it all.
Starting point is 00:11:08 That'd be fantastic. Anyway, those are the innovators. Zamboni, I'd like to see win that all the way. Then we go into Simply Make Life Better. Google Search. Hydroflask water bottles. The Bachelor. Instant Pot.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Domino's Pizza jacuzis. Spotify, NFL Red Zone. Crox, Duncan Coffee, Uber app Perel, Twitter, Venomo, Netflix, Google Docs. Those are simply make life better. There's some ones in there that are going to crush the other ones. Then you go to Legends of the greatest products of all-time Bracket Challenge.

Starting point is 00:12:30 sunglasses, Sharpie, Rubik's Cube, Lego, Denny's Grand Slam breakfast. Some of these, obviously. Really funny. Well, we're going to keep track of this bracket because I'm going to be fascinated to see, you know, when you start getting into, as you start getting into the final four, holy cow, that's going to be a fight, right, between the, I mean, that's the final four. Who wins the Unsung Heroes? I'm going to go with, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I mean, really? It should be bear aspirin, band-aids. Really? I mean, those two are huge. I know that, you know, Post-it notes in Velcro and duct tape are pretty huge. But, I mean, Tylenol, aspirin, and Band-Aids have been pretty incredible under Unsung Heroes.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Legends, I mean, Coca-Cola is taking some heat in today's world, but really, overall, I mean, that's pretty huge. Sharpie. I love the fact that Denny's Grand Slam breakfast is on here. Yeah. A ray-band sunglasses. That's going to be huge under Ler. legends but you know you're looking at what 747 uh Coca-Cola maybe the Boeing 747 maybe monopoly
Starting point is 00:14:08 I mean it's a tough one innovators I mean you're looking at iPhone Tesla TikTok Snapchat YouTube I mean that's a huge and a Red Bull I mean outside of the box of internet those are those are big things man big things and simply make life better i mean i know we love the hydro flask water bottle but google search is probably a little bit better than that i was just a just not my part i'm guessing google spur search is a little bit better than that and uh uber i mean come on now netflix i mean these companies changed the way business was done. It's going to be interesting to see what happens through this bracket. So you can start voting. You can start voting now. And it looks like they're going to start with the unsung
Starting point is 00:15:09 Heroes region. And then you have the legends region. I mean, it's going to be really fascinating to see who wins these brackets and we'll keep you updated and who eventually wins the greatest product of all time. So do you live in a metropolitan area or, you know, an area that is now designated as a metropolitan area? Because 144 cities right now could be downgraded from metropolitan to micropolitan. You ever heard that before? Me either But they're talking about
Starting point is 00:15:54 Downgrading statuses For metropolitan Statistical Areas To Micropolitan Statistical Areas And it could affect over a third Of the current communities Wow So what are these
Starting point is 00:16:11 Metropolitan Possible, possible Micropolitan areas worried about? Future funding decisions Are you no kidding? You can count on that. So apparently this was initiated due to the census. And city officials all over the country feared undercounting figures resulting from the pandemic and other issues that they're saying could lead to some areas losing much needed federal funding.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah. No kidding. I mean, California spent 190 million telling people to respond to the census. Did you respond? And some government officials in the cities are concerned over what the change status could mean for economic growth. Well, you still are an M, you know, right, an MSA, a metropolitan statistical area. You're still an MSA. You're just a little case MSA.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Instead of a metropolitan statistical area, you're a micropolitan statistical area. So unless the MSA is capitalized, I mean, they show it here still capitalized, but you know that's how it's going to go, right? If you're an MSA capitalized, that means you're a metropolitan area and you're good to go. If you're an MSA, real little, someday you're going to grow up to be a great big metropolitan area, you're going down and you're losing federal money. No question about it. I mean, that's what those numbers are used for.
Starting point is 00:17:47 for Medicare reimbursement, housing, transportation, and these cities use that. These metropolitan areas, DFW, Houston, there's plenty of plenty. I mean, I live in DFW, and they use that to bring in businesses. That's what, you know, Austin metropolitan area, right? I mean, these areas are still going to be where we live here in Texas. These areas are definitely still going to be metropolitan areas. but some of the older metropolitan areas that we're still living on the past that everyone has moved out of are going to be micropolitan areas and they will not be happy about that.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So good luck that happening, but they're trying to push it, man. So be ready to start hearing micropolitan in your world as time goes by here in the next year or so because they're going to be pushing it hard. All right, let's go to the break room. Desperately. I see where now, hashtag pizza squirrel is getting more and more coverage on, you know, TikTok and Instagram and Twitter.
Starting point is 00:19:09 And there's videos now of pizza squirrel in Baltimore and out in California. So there's also a video of a squirrel where squirrels have taken a pizza from the delivery box itself because in today's, you know, touch-free delivery system where someone just left the pizza out on the front
Starting point is 00:19:32 stoop, the squirrels broke in and, you know, took a couple of pieces of pizza. And I don't know if that's actually true. I think maybe the people will open up the box and let the squirrels have it, so they could film, you know, the squirrels dragging the pizza away and going up into the tree. Although, you know, it's possible. It's possible.
Starting point is 00:19:50 But I told you early on during this pandemic that animals were going to get pissed. And they were coming into the cities because of the lockdown. And there was nobody feeding them extra food at the parks. And so we found that out with the rats in New York. We found that out with the dogs and the cats and the goats and the deer. were all, I mean, the animals are all wound up. And the monkeys over and, I mean, the monkey videos are out of control, man, because the monkeys are, where is our, where is our food?
Starting point is 00:20:25 Where is the people that take care of us? We're just going to take over. So that's what's happening with the squirrels. And I don't know. I mean, I've had squirrels just come up and take things from you. In Florida, there's a couple of different parks where the squirrels, man, if you go to the park, You sit under the pavilion and let's say you bring the kids and you got some McDonald's and you're going to let the kids have McDonald's and then they're going to run around at the
Starting point is 00:20:51 park's playground or whatever. The squirrels will attack your tables for the McDonald's. So be prepared. We started just buying an extra bag of fries and then tossing them out into the yard. Because squirrels, man, they will attack and come and get your food. They don't care. Squirrels are badass, man. There's no doubt.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Look, you know, you can pretend that the squirrels like the little, you know, nuts and seeds and berries and roots. But no, they start getting used to people food, man. They want it and they'll come up and take it from you. Squirrels don't mess around, man. And they're pretty fast. They can jump and they're fast. You don't have to mess with the squirrels, man. Do not even think about messing with the squirrels.
Starting point is 00:21:40 and look if you're a squirrel and you think hey is that a nut that I have to try to chew through and gnaw on and then I got to go hide it
Starting point is 00:21:51 I'm just going to drag this bag of fries back up into the tree and eat my fries and be done with it right I mean who isn't going to do that that's what I thought
Starting point is 00:22:02 no one and you know that if the squirrels had an opportunity they'd be fine listening to chewing the fat so if you're at the park you're under the pavilion and you're saying to yourself, huh, wonder what I should be doing.
Starting point is 00:22:16 You should be listening to chewing the fat, and you should be feeding the squirrels while you're at the park. Okay? So you listen to chewing the fat, and as long as you're listening to chewing the fat, you should be a subscriber to chewing the fat. If you're listening and you're not a subscriber,

Starting point is 00:23:51 you know, we could stick with the dog report from the White House. Remember how beautiful those dogs were when President Biden went and moved into the White House? And they did their little public service announcement before the puppy bowl ahead of the Super Bowl with their dogs at the White House. And they made a big deal about the dogs moving into the White House with the Biden. and it's just all one big happy family. Yeah, well, the one dog attacked one of the White House security members, and it was a biting incident involving the younger of the two German Shepherd dogs,
Starting point is 00:24:26 and it was no word on exactly what happened, but it was bad enough where they shipped them back to Delaware. I know. They were both dogs. gone. So the young one apparently attacked someone at the White House and bit them and was known for aggressive behavior toward, you know, other humans barking, jumping, charging. You know, what dogs do, of course, obviously not all dogs bite, but they do, you know, they may bark and they may jump. I mean, that's part of the deal, right? But attacking other humans, uh, no. So lucky they just didn't
Starting point is 00:25:09 put him down. I'm surprised we just didn't have a gunshot at the White House. Excuse me. What was that? Oh, nothing. Your dog just bit one of our people down the hall. You know, that's all. That's it, though.
Starting point is 00:25:31 He just bit someone down the hall and we had to put him down. So, sorry about that. But no. But no. They just shipped him back to Delaware. So. And they have their, what they call their minders, taking care of the dogs at the house when no one is there.
Starting point is 00:25:50 And I'm willing to bet. This is just me, you know, throwing it out there, that even when Jill and Joe are in town, the minders are there. You can pretty much count on that. And there was no cuddling going on with those two dogs at the White House. I see now where we've got a big story from owner Amy Takaha, who gets about 20 calls a day about the service.
Starting point is 00:26:22 She's offered for about five years, but she said business has picked up dramatically in the past year. And what business is that? While it's cuddling with cows. I know. She has a farm of about 100 rescued farm animals, many with disabilities. and she charges 75 bucks an hour, 75 bucks an hour, for cow cuddling sessions.
Starting point is 00:26:52 So, yeah, how about that? You feeling bad about yourself? Maybe Megan Markle should have done this, and she would have felt better if she would have, you know, cow cuddled. So Amy's Farm Animal Sanctuary in Queen Creek, Arizona, claims that it's a good birthday present, it's a good presence, and people, oh, I'm just busier than ever.
Starting point is 00:27:16 I'm just busier than ever with my cow cuddling business. So, man, don't you want to feel better about yourself, cuddling cows for 75 bucks an hour? She has nine cattle at her farm, including adorable, a, uh, an angus steer, which is castrated, rescued from a ditch, moonicorn who has one eye and one horn, and a miniature cow named Muchacha.
Starting point is 00:27:52 The bovines will amber over to gas for hugs and cuddles. They like to roll over on their sides and rest their heads in people's laps. Sometimes a turkey named Azalea or a chicken will come by and join in. Participants often become emotional. Some even vow to become vegetarian after looking deep into the creature's large brown eyes. Yes, there's plenty of people who've been helped from cow cuddling, and it's just a, it brings a smile to Amy's face, and it's just wonderful. It's cow cuddling began, you know, in the Netherlands,
Starting point is 00:28:33 but now there's a place in Arizona and a place in New York, and the one in New York is a bed and breakfast so you can go and stay there and, you know, cow cuddle for 75 bucks an hour too. So, man, does that make you want to feel better when you cuddle cows for an hour? And so if you are feeling bad about yourself and you're feeling depressed
Starting point is 00:29:06 and life isn't treating you. you're right, there's nothing like a 1500 to 2,000 pound cow cuddling with you to make you feel better. It's just an amazing experience. Cow cuddling. Come here, baby. Oh, yeah. Come here, lay your head on my lap.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Oh, you liked that, didn't you? I can't. I just, I mean, I grew up. I grew up in Michigan and dairy farms. And there's plenty of cows and plenty of cow poop. And plenty of cows that you herd up and sent them into the milking stalls. And you watch the milk get pumped into the holding container. But to, and they're fine.
Starting point is 00:30:13 They're cows. But cuddling cows? No. No, thank you. Okay, so we got the numbers in from Harry and Megan's interview. Here in the U.S., they've got 17.1 million viewers. And it looks like they got about 12 million for in the UK as it aired the next night. And now the Queen has responded, issued a six.
Starting point is 00:30:43 statement. She issued a statement. So dad, Charles, goes out to a clinic, a COVID-19 clinic, and this morning. And during the visit, he gets asked, of course, hey, hey, what do you think? What do you think about that thing? And he doesn't respond to the question. And then the queen issued her statement saying that, hey, You know, of course, oh my gosh. You know, Megan and Harry's interview, they talked about her mental health struggles. We talked about this, you know, yesterday.
Starting point is 00:31:23 And I know you're tired of hearing it. But I am in love how this is playing out. So the queen issued her statement and said that she is so sorry. The whole family is saddened to learn. extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Megan. The issues raised, particularly that of race
Starting point is 00:31:51 are concerning, while some recollections may vary. Yeah, you think, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Megan, and Archie will always be much-loved
Starting point is 00:32:07 family members. so zip it meg so we're to believe we're to believe that this female who married the prince was having such a hard time with her mental health struggles that she told harry she wanted to kill herself and then she said she went to you know, the HR department of the firm and was told, hey, we understand, but there's nothing we can do for you because, you know, you're not an official,
Starting point is 00:32:51 an official, what was the line they used? You know, you didn't work for them as an employee. I believe that's what their line was, that the, you know, the princesses, was not an employee. She was not a paid employee of the institution. So this female who has been out work since she was 13 years old
Starting point is 00:33:22 and could take care of herself and been doing all this stuff for 13 years couldn't find the resolve to get her own help to go get a psychologist or a psychiatrist or help. She couldn't figure that out. They just had to leave and get out of the, okay. All right, no problem, Meg. I got you, baby.
Starting point is 00:33:45 You take care now. And I'm sure that, you know, the palace was real sad that you had to go. Real sad. I'm telling you, this second kid that she's pregnant with, the girl, is a marriage saver for Megan. and it's not a surprise that she got pregnant this time around. I'm telling you, because I still think the separation could happen. All right, so when the grandpa dies, it's going to be devastating.
Starting point is 00:34:22 He's going to have to go back. And once he goes back, she's probably not going to go back with him because of the COVID-19 restrictions. And I think there's another event coming up where Harry's going to go back without her. And he's going to be able to be with grandma. and dad and bro alone without Megan, and they're going to set some things straight with old Harry. And he could come back and the separation could happen.
Starting point is 00:34:53 And Megan could be left in Montecito, you know, feeding the chickens while Archie and the baby girl are back in Buckingham Palace. I'm telling you, it could happen. It could happen within two years. I think I gave to the end of 2021, but this new baby put a wrinkle into my theory. But the separation is coming. I'm telling you, it's coming. I don't care.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I don't care. I don't buy that it's just a happy, happy, happy, happy, happy little couple that left the palace and that Harry was trapped. I don't buy it. Not for a second. Another thing I don't buy, movie theaters coming back as strong as they ever were. The box office this weekend pulled in $24 million, which is like their best hall since COVID, but it's not $100 million on the weekend. Last year was $101 million on the same weekend, and that was probably low then
Starting point is 00:35:56 because people were already starting to go, ooh, maybe we don't not go to theaters and go out to restaurants, We need to start self-distancing. And then the mandates started happening, right? I mean, we're getting close to the celebration. We're going to have fun and party. It's been a whole year. Yay! So now, let's see, 45% of the theaters opened this past weekend.
Starting point is 00:36:25 The first, according to them, normal weekend since the pandemic started. Raya and the Last Dragon and Tom and Jerry were the biggest debuts. But those also released on Disney Plus and HBO Max. So good luck. Movie theaters taking care of that. And that's still going to happen, right? And they're starting to say that vaccinated consumers will come back to the theaters.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Will they? I don't know. We'll see. we'll see and the movies are already being pushed off in development and being made because they can't get the movies made in the areas that they want to make the movies because of the pandemic
Starting point is 00:37:11 so okay all right all right hey did you know that the Grammys are this weekend I know I didn't either now we probably if you watched

It made you want to watch the Grammys. Not for a second. Not for one single second of that commercial did I think, wow, that's, I want to watch the Grammys.
Starting point is 00:37:51 I want to go and find out who the nominees are to all these categories. Not for a second. Did that commercial do that for me? Maybe it's just me. I'm not a huge fan of Trevor Noah, but okay, you know, if that's who you want hosting, and that's fine, no problem, congratulations. I'm sure he'll do a great job for you.
Starting point is 00:38:18 It's the 63rd Grammys, and he actually was nominated for a best comedy album of the year, but lost out to Dave Chappelle which is no surprise because Dave Chappelle is way better than Trevor I mean I was probably just throw him a bone for his comedy album
Starting point is 00:38:40 but he is going to be hosting and good for you congratulations I can't wait for the award ceremonies now it was supposed to be I think in January the end of January is when they normally have it and it all got kicked, you know, down the road because of COVID. So, uh, yay, it's this Sunday.

Looking forward to the president delivering his first prime time address Thursday night, which would be what the 11th of March, 2021. And he's going to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 shutdown. Yes, that's what we want to do. We want to remember.
Starting point is 00:41:29 We want to, oh, man, we want to party. Drop the balloons. So, man, looking forward to that to see our president. And Thursday night give his first primetime address. Now, it looks like, I know a lot of people are reporting that this is a press conference, but this is just him speaking, as far as I can tell. It's not a press conference. He's not going to be taking questions and giving answers.
Starting point is 00:41:54 He's going to, you know, be all drugged up and medicated up and do his speech and look into the camera and hope he doesn't have, you know, a little sundowning effect and get through it. because lately it appears that he's had some real struggles. So maybe he's going to congratulate everybody and say thanks for passing my $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package. Thank you so much. We've got a few other trillion-dollar deals.
Starting point is 00:42:27 We're pushing through just for you, the American people, who we love. Don't believe that it's my fault that gas prices are going up. It is not. It is not my fault that gas prices are going up. Sure, there's plenty of people that believe that. And sure, you may have noticed that gas prices are going up. Sure, you've probably noticed that. But that isn't my fault, okay?
Starting point is 00:42:59 So don't blame me. Oil prices have shot up after Saudi Arabia said the key energy facilities were targeted by a drone and a missile last weekend, okay? That's not my fault. That's a RAND's fault, and we need to go to war with them over that. Sure, I stopped the pipeline, sure. And I did all that stuff. Sure, you know, there's some of that talk, but it's not my fault.
Starting point is 00:43:26 So leave me alone. And we've got the vaccine out there, and we're pumping out millions of doses of vaccine everywhere. and it's because of me, not because of that previous, nasty administration, who we're finally, finally rid of. It has nothing to do with me,
Starting point is 00:43:47 okay? That's everything that's good, me. Everything that's bad, them and him. You remember him. I mean, so I'm looking forward to it. I don't know about you, but man, I can't.
Starting point is 00:44:03 wait. And for all of you that have emailed me chewing the fat at the blaze.com, sent me messages on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. I got it. Okay, I saw the story. All right. The guy with coronavirus had an erection lasting hours, okay? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Thank you so much for keeping me up to date. You all sent me the story. Hey, did you see the guy that had the longest lasting erection? Yeah, I got it. I got it. They believe the disease caused a blood clot in the guy's man part. Okay. He was in Ohio.
Starting point is 00:44:53 He's 69 years old. He was admitted to the hospital with a bad case of coronavirus. Now, he eventually passed away from other. complications from the virus. He didn't pass away from the extended erection. But apparently they sedated him
Starting point is 00:45:13 and he had fluid built up in his lungs and so before they placed him on a ventilator, they rolled him over and turned him face down, which I'm not quite sure I understand that, but that's what they said they did. And his lungs began
Starting point is 00:45:29 failing and they turned him face down, which is an emergency technique used to help air better move throughout the body. Okay. And that's, if you say so, you're the medical professionals. So after 12 hours when they decided, maybe we need to roll this guy back over again, they rolled him back over and the nurses were like, hey,
Starting point is 00:45:51 look at that. We rolled him back over and he's got, he's got an erection there. And so still going on. It's not going down. probably shouldn't have gone up to begin with, I wonder what the deal is. So after three hours with an ice pack,
Starting point is 00:46:10 they decided, you know, it's not going down. So we're going to stick a giant needle in that man part and get rid of that blood. I love the story as it goes, The man was unconscious throughout. Woof. good good
Starting point is 00:46:35 because they start putting needles around that whole area uh do no thank you but thank you
Starting point is 00:46:49 for sending me the story and making me aware of the story so I appreciate it I appreciate everyone who sent me the story I mean that
