And I'm Link this week at the roundtable of dim lighting. We are downloading you and each other on our Thanksgiving... excursions, adventures, celebrations, holiday. We spent the week apart, and as of the recording of this, it is our first day back. I'm a little jet lag. Yeah, jet lag's got ret lagging behind.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Oh. Oh, yes. Jet lags got red lagging behind. It came to work because he thought he'd be fine. but when he showed up he realized he didn't have what it takes but he's got to do his job anyway Jet lag's got red lagging behind
Starting point is 00:01:43 I didn't notice that you were that you were lagging I thought you brought what you needed to bring you dead No no I just hit it really just hit me Yeah right now I woke up I woke up at 4.30 a.m. which would be 7.30. North Carolina time, just came back yesterday. And I was like, oh, I'm going to urinate and I'm going to get back in the bed and go back to sleep for some more time. Yes, yes, yes, not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:02:11 And I did urinate in the toilet. And then I got back in the bed and I could not go back to sleep. So I'm kind of feeling that, getting up at 4.30. Yeah, it was dark and cold out here on the West Coast at 7. It was like 4. Um, I was going to say something. I forgot what it was, but my arm's in a sling. Oh.
Starting point is 00:02:34 And I am going to tell you why. I'll also let you know that the next episode is our penultimate episode, Martini. Before we take an indefinite break from this show. So next episode, we're going to do our top 10 moments of the year. Which is often the last episode of the year. Yeah, but not this time. I think we're going to, we're saving the last episode to be ear biscuits.
Starting point is 00:03:03 The top moments of ear biscuits. Finalical focused. Okay. Oh, top moments of ear biscuits. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. And some parting words. Parting words, stuff of that nature.
Starting point is 00:03:14 But I'm excited about the top ten moments because I'm always excited about that. That'll be next week. Okay. So next week you get that. This week you get, why is your arm in a sling? What have you done to yourself? Story. And I'll give you that.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I have a little something that I'll share about an incident. Okay. A holiday incident. All right. And we might get to some of your questions, depending on how good our stories are. I'm, well, okay. My arms in a swing because of my shoulder, and both of my knees are just busted. As a matter of fact, I looked down at my britches,
Starting point is 00:03:56 And I was like, there's blood coming through my knee on my bridges. But I think it's just neospor an oint. But I do have two bandades on there, bandages on top of each other. So it's like oozing through all of that. Please. And, yeah, so I'm having some difficulties.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Approximately 24 hours ago is when I took the fall. I am not happy with myself and I really I'm pretty down on myself about this so I just want to cut no you should be no I want to tell you that so that your response can be to make me feel
Starting point is 00:04:41 a little bit better by the end of this okay I just don't want it to happen again so I'm going to make you feel however that well shame is not a good technique and you're not my dad well I don't know shame did wonders for me. So, we'll see how that goes. It's shame accomplished a lot, but I, that's different than doing wonders.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I was mountain biking. Could you guess? And, you know, I was just like, you know, I've been gone all week on Thanksgiving, haven't had access to my bike. Matter of fact, I was gone almost two weeks. Yep. for secret reasons. But I was like, I'm going to get on that bike.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I've been, you know, I miss my bike. I miss my dogs. I miss my toilet. I miss my bike. I'm going to get on my bike. I miss other things too. If I left you off the list and you were expecting me to miss you, I did. I just didn't tell you right now that I missed you.
Starting point is 00:05:43 So don't be offended if you're thinking about that. I get on my bike and I'm like, I'm not going to do a, I'm going to climb this mountain, but then I'm going to come back the same way. I'm going to do the easier thing. I get up to the top, and there was a place where I sat down and just thought about... Took it all in. Took it all in. I was up at the heights.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I was taking it all in. The way I put it to Christy, and I think this is accurate, is I said, I'm going to sit up here, and I'm just going to think of what I should be worrying about. Because I wasn't worried about anything. I was like, I know there's something I should be worried about. Wow, that would be nice to be. And I'm sorry to rub that in for those of you who are never not worrying about things. Like, I was telling Christy in that way because I knew it would just get under her skin.
Starting point is 00:06:34 I was like, yeah, I was just trying to think of something that I should be worried about. I didn't come up with anything. I kind of did. I was like, all right, yeah, I got to think about this and I got to be ready for this. That's one of the reasons I couldn't go back to sleep this morning. Because everything just started flooding in. I was like, damn it. Everything flooded.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Well, I was like, I opened up the gates. I was like, let it in. Let it in. I'm ready for it right now. I'm on a mountaintop experience. I'm ready to let in the floodgates of worry. It's interesting that that's the time that you thought to do it. Because usually when I get up to the top of the mountain is when I think,
Starting point is 00:07:05 now I don't have to think about all the stuff that I worry about. I'm up here. You were like, I'm going to go up to the top of a mountain and worry. In order to, yeah, in order to figure out what I need to be worried about. When I get back down. Okay. You know, like Ten Commandment type stuff. I'm bringing something down.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I'm bringing, I got something to show for the trip I took to the top of the mountain. And interestingly enough, Moses did drop them on his way down the first time. He had to go back up. This is exactly the story. Did he drop them or did he throw them down in a tantrum? In a rage. Yeah, he threw him down. I think he was pretty mad.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Yeah, but it worked better when he just dropped him on an accident. They had broke, yeah. He went over his handlebars, spoiler alert, and dropped his. tablets anyways I'm coming back down and I'm listening to the same music that I was listening to in my earbuds
Starting point is 00:07:59 on the way up but in reverse but in reverse no hell's a time but then but then my phone will it will send me
Starting point is 00:08:12 you have a text from so and so so the worst you have a long text from so and so would you like to hear it she starts reading And I'm like, no, don't want to hear it. And I kept getting interrupted by things, and our college boys, I'm blaming our college boys.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Matter of fact, I'm going to blame Tim, specifically. Oh, my God. It was during that text exchange that this happened? So, all of a sudden, I'm getting this, I'm going down the hill, I'm listening to my music, I'm going at a speed. You know, I'm going down a freaking, what speed do you think? You don't use the power going down, though. You use the power of gravity. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:48 So you're pretty much on the brakes. I was on a single track, which then becomes more of a fire road. I was on the fire road by a certain point, and I was probably going 13. I mean, I wasn't going as fast. That's not too fast. I mean, I could have been going 25, but I don't think I was at this point. But apparently, Tim had done something he wanted to brag to the group about. He was like, just for reference, the ladder is seven foot tall.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And I got, and without using a lift, I did all of this. And so I'm trying to figure out, because I can't see. I'm not seeing the picture he sent. I'm just seeing the words that he put with it in my head. Because it's being spoken to you. It's being spoken to. So Tim is saying, well, the latter's seven foot tall. And I was like, well, I guess he's putting Christmas lights on a big Christmas tree or something.
Starting point is 00:09:41 You were right. And it took a lot of my brain to try to figure out. out what he was talking about. And that part of my brain needed to be focused on the mountain biking. Yeah. I needed to be in complete focus because at any moment you can hit something that could just send you flying, which is what happened to me almost two years ago to the day. I went over my handlebars and I broke my collarbone.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Yeah. And I don't remember what happened because in my mind, I was in a group chat with Tim trying to figure out what he was bragging about. You know, and I'm going down the mountain. Autopilot. Again, I'm really upset at myself. So do you know what happened?
Starting point is 00:10:34 There was a bump, a big bump, and then it was like, but don't come back up and then keep going down. It was like where water ran down the mountain and kind of made a ditch. And if you hit it head on, and you know it's coming, you know where to put your weight on the bike. I mean, there's a million of these on the way down.
Starting point is 00:10:53 But you kind of need to be looking at all of them, you know? So when you're thinking about this, where are your eyes in that point? They're supposed, I mean, the eyes are pointing the right way. It's like when you drive with your reptilian brain. Oh, God. You know, I was, my eyes were in the right place. For many external observer, like the crows or the vultures who are circling ahead, they would have thought, oh, you know, he's got it together.
Starting point is 00:11:14 But I know this guy. I remember him from two years ago. He's going to take a fall and maybe I get to slurp up some blood or something. Right. The bike hit the divot. It took the, from the way my bike was laying afterward, I guess it took a hard, the front wheel took a hard left and then the back wheel kept going straight, kind of a thing.
Starting point is 00:11:41 So then I just went over the handlebars and I'm in the air, you know, I'm thinking of myself, I remember thinking of myself, fall good. Because since that last fall, I've actually watched videos on how to fall. And the next thing I thought, and this all happens, see, it happens so fast because my brain is so quick. My brain then said, go limp and roll. And so, like, as I was going, the shoulder, the right shoulder was coming down, the one that, when it went down before, it went straight into the ground and broke my collarbone. Did you make a choice as to? No.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Or the bike made a choice for which shoulder was going on. Yeah, as far as I know, all I was doing was like going limb broke. Yes. The right collarbone broke. I don't know if you just always go that way. I may, but I think because the wheel went left, it just threw me, it throws you off kind of that direction. But, and when you're in, if you get sucked up in a tornado, you're supposed to go limp. It's hard, though.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Yeah. Unless you're hard to go limp. Unless you're knocked out. But that's supposed to help. You. Because your body just kind of flails around and just bounces off the ground and it doesn't break. It just kind of, I don't know. I don't know. But I went limp and kind of, I duck the shoulder and then I tried to get the shoulder over and kind of, because I have my hands out. What you're not supposed to do is catch yourself with your hands because you'll break your wrist, you'll break your shoulder.
Starting point is 00:13:08 All of this stuff will just, you don't want to, you don't want to catch yourself with your hands. If you catch yourself, you catch yourself. So as my hands was going down, I was like, nope, I'm going limp and I'm throwing the shoulder. down and I'm doing a roll and if I took my shirts off and showed you there's scratches on the right there where my finger is on the back like if you look at the back of my shoulder just at my armpit where the crack of my armpit starts if you go up from that that's where I hit the ground first yeah first and then I I think my then my knees hit the ground or I think I actually think my knees hit the bike because my left knee is really banged up from, I think, hitting bike. And my right knee is just really skint from hitting the ground at some point. And then I, like, rolled over. And I immediately, like, it was one, I had the dead arm. You know, when you do something and then your body says,
Starting point is 00:14:03 this whole thing, this whole part of your body, is not going to do anything now. And you're not going to do anything with it. And you're not going to do anything to it. It's just going to be flaccid, just hanging there. And that's scary because I couldn't move my arm. I'm like, anything could be broken. When something's broken, you can't move it, you know? Explain that to me.
Starting point is 00:14:24 You haven't had that type of injury? Like, I couldn't lift my hand. My arm was just, like, dead at my side because... I've not had... I've been injured many ways. And it hurt. It hurt. That feels like something disconnected.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Well, it did. My shoulder popped out a socket. Oh, but then... That's got to be it then. But... And then I knew I was like, crap, I have done it again. I've broken my collarbone. And then I'm like, and it was hurting so bad, and I was like, and then I'm like trying to get myself together.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Did you say any dirty words? No, I didn't. I didn't say anything. And then I'm, and then I realized, I was like, I did my arm around once, which I also did when I broke my collarbone. But something about this, it didn't feel as bad. And my arm, it had gone back in the socket pretty much immediately. It, like, separated and then came back together. Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:16 And that's a, that's a feeling. that I've had before. That happens to you. Yeah, it has happened. And so then I'm just sitting there hoping that I haven't broken anything. And I can move my arm and I thought everything was okay with my shoulder. And then my, I mean, my right knee was like very, very bloody. And then the bike was just in a wreck.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I sat there and I, like, I got myself together. And I was just so mad because I knew it was my own fault. I just hadn't, you know, I just wasn't concentrating. And so I was already, like, beating myself up. And then I finally got to where, you know, I didn't feel faint. And, like, I got back on the bike. And I start just, I'm like, I'm just going to take it gentle the rest of the way down. I'm just, and so then I'm going down.
Starting point is 00:16:12 And then I realize my bike's making funny noises. And I look down in the, like the front tire. It's like, flat as a flitter, just going everywhere. So you got back on the bike, and that was when you realized that. Yeah. And then I put the bike over, and I got out my stuff. I have this, like, thing to, a CO2 canister that'll, like, you'll put it, put it on the bike valve, and it'll just blow the bike tire back up.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I don't carry a pump. I carry two of those. I bought it when I bought the bike. And I'm like, damn, I can't figure out how to connect this thing. you know, when I bought the bike and I bought this stuff, I remember seeing to them, is there anything else I need? I want to make sure I got everything.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Well, there's something that I needed. And it's the piece that goes between the CO2 cartridge and the valve so that I can pump up the tire. So I couldn't pump up the tires. And instead of it being half flat, because I think that when I went off the bike, it's not like it hit a rock and busted. The side, like going sideways,
Starting point is 00:17:17 It took it off of the rim. It pulled it off of the rim, let a lot of air out, and then popped back onto the rim. So if I could have pumped it back up, it would have been totally fine. Would it be totally good. Because I couldn't do that, and because I started messing with the tire, and I pulled it off the rim a little bit more and put it back on, it went from being like 60% flat to being like 100% flat. And there's nobody on this trail.
Starting point is 00:17:48 So now you got to ride a wheelie all the way down. Which I did because I was like, I'm not walking this bike all the way down. I'm just not. I'm going to just get a new tire if I have to get a new rim. And I developed this technique where I would like almost pop a wheelie, like lean all the way back and put all the, as much weight as possible on the back tire, not the front tire. Because you had how far to go, you think? Maybe three miles.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Oh. And then I had to get to a point where I had cell service. And then I, and my phone was dying. And I called Christy, I'm like, my phone's dying. I'm going to give you this information before my phone dies because I need you to pick me up at the bottom of this trail. And I'm going to drop a pin to the location. Okay, hold on.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Why is your phone dying? But I don't, because, I don't, I, I, well, the night before, I'm not, I didn't get my phone on my charger the night before, okay? It happens. So I was running on yellow all day Okay I'm just saying It's just stacking up
Starting point is 00:18:49 Yeah, stacking up A lot of mistakes are stacking up A series of unfortunate events And it could have been a lot worse So I dropped the pen I tell her the story And then I do get down there To the bottom and like
Starting point is 00:19:03 She pulls up and she's like You're bleeding everywhere I was like well Yeah And she's like And you're bike is like oozing crap all over. Is that going to get in the car?
Starting point is 00:19:17 And I'm like, no. There's not going to be any blood or white tire gunk in this car. Don't you worry about it. Of course, it was. Because you know, the gunk inside of those tires, if you get like a puncture, it'll fill in the puncture with the gunk in the tire. It's a tubeless tire. I'm sweating.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I'm sweating telling you the story. Because it's so recent, y'all. Oh, my God. my shoulder wasn't in any pain I was sitting there yanking on the freaking handlebars all the way down trying to like pop a wheelie not thinking
Starting point is 00:19:53 because I thought my shoulder was fine and I get home I take a shower I wash out my wound and it wasn't I mean I scraped off all of my right knee basically but there was one part it was pretty deep it just did not want to stop bleeding
Starting point is 00:20:11 And, but I didn't get faint with it. I'm proud of myself. I think I was so mad at myself that I didn't, you know, I didn't want to have something else to be mad at, like fainting. Right. You didn't have a blood freak out. That's great. Didn't have a blood freak out.

This season, I'm breaking down games, reacted to the biggest NBA stories and sitting down
Starting point is 00:22:34 with teammates, rivals, and culture shapers. And trust me, I'm not holding back. on the court or on the mic two new episodes every week new segments big conversations real basketball talk for the real hoop heads listen to and follow the draymond green show wherever you get your podcast we're back we're better let's get it clean the wounds put the bandages on um a couple of hours passed and then we went to we were like let's go get some dinner. And we got in the car, I was like, can you, I got, I was like, can you drive? Don't feel like driving. Matter of fact, I don't feel that good at all. And then like, I realized, ooh, my shoulder started hurting, boy. It started stiffing it up. You had to go get
Starting point is 00:23:21 yourself some ice cream after that situation. Grab, dude. Skip dinner and get straight to ice cream. So I, yeah, I mean, I just took some ibuprofen. I didn't actually take any of this morning, and, but I am wearing the sling to protect it. Because, you know, once the shoulder pops out, Any little thing you do, it's weak. I've got to hold everything together up there. But I'm very fortunate that I didn't break anything as far as I know. You know, everything's going to be okay, I think. But it's going to take some time, and I'm just wearing the sling just to, like, protect it.
Starting point is 00:23:56 And just also as a message to people to, like, don't come up and punch me or hug me or squeeze me or yank on my arm. you know, type thing, or shake my right hand. But yeah, it was kind of a wake-up call that, like, oh, crap, I should have worn my knee pads, first of all. I have knee pads, I stopped wearing those, and my knees would not be hurt at all right now if I'd warn those. I was wearing my elbow pads only because, and maybe this is a stupid, not, this is stupid to be the complete reason.
Starting point is 00:24:34 I wear an elbow pad to protect the tattoos on my arm so that if I get in an injury, it doesn't mess up my tattoos. Maybe you should just get a suit of armor. I don't think that's stupid tattoos, they cost money. It's stupid that is the complete reason, because I also need to wear that so that I don't mess up my elbows like I did my knees. But you don't have to worry about weight a whole lot
Starting point is 00:25:00 because you've got the electric part of the bike now. So you could have, do they mean? make like, I'm being legitimate here, do they make, not a suit of armor, like, don't go to the museum and steal it, but like, oh yeah, like an exoskeleton. Like a BMX. But you're like, like a bike. I could be thrown down this mountain and I would be okay. I mean, this might be an investment. You could probably get a sponsor and it could just be all over, you could be stickers.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Put it all over me. All over you. I'm going to wear my knee pads. I'm going to look into the armor that you're talking about. I'm going to be more present by A, not, I'm going to put my phone on a, do not disturb. Well, that's a clear move. When I'm coming down the mountain. Would you be open to?
Starting point is 00:25:47 And I'm going to constantly be looking at where I'm going. I'm not going to be thinking about anything. The thing I love about mountain biking is that I can think about what I'm doing and only that. Right. But would you be open to not having earbuds in at all? No. You have to have the music. Well, I like the music.
Starting point is 00:26:03 And I am thinking about the music a little bit, but not a lot. I'm just saying that that is a... You have it on pass-through mode, though. You don't have noise-canceling on. Yeah, I do. But you're saying if somebody's like yelling at me, will I hear it? Yeah. Nobody was yelling at me.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Yeah, but when you're on a single-track bike trail, somebody might be coming behind you, somebody might be in front of you, somebody might hear you coming, and they might be on the trail. I can hear that. I don't think that's the problem. I'm not giving up the music.
Starting point is 00:26:37 But no, just turn it on pass-through. Hold your AirPods down so you hear the environment at the same time that you're... Because when you're out there and you're not... It's not like there's a lot of noise that needs to be canceled. You're not on a plane. And that way you hear music and... It's like when I walk around the house listening to music sometimes,
Starting point is 00:26:55 I just put it on pass-through and it sounds great. Right, right. But then if Jesse says, hey, she doesn't say, Hey, hey, hey, boy, with the noise cancelling on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, boy. I think that that's a, I think you need to do that. I'm going to do that. I'll do that, okay?
Starting point is 00:27:10 And, yeah, it was just a wake-up call because I could be, I could be broken right now. I could be not, I could have two more pieces. I can have one more piece. I can have a lot more pieces. And that takes a long time to recover from. I mean, I want to go snowboarding. I want to keep riding my mountain bike. And, you know, I think I might want to get into something else.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Well, how about something that can't kill you? Like, I think this year might be the first year that I don't... Well, last year was the first year that I didn't go skiing because just the weekends didn't... Don't talk me out of stuff. No, no, I'm just saying that, like, I'm doing more other stuff, but it's stuff that I can't die doing. You know, there's lots of activities that you can do. Don't get me wrong. Don't want to die.
Starting point is 00:27:58 But, like, you can get hurt real bad. Yeah, there was nothing funny about that story. You know, sometimes I'll tell a story and something funny about it. But I'm just, I'm just feeling the weight of my own responsibility. I got to do better. It was a wake-up call.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I'm awake now. I'm awake. Yeah, you can't have this happen every two years. But I need to stay on the bike. The bike is my lifeline to mental health. And it also is the gateway to physical health because it also has convinced me that I've got to do more weight training.
Starting point is 00:28:40 I've got to have more muscle up here to hold my bones in their sockets. I don't have enough muscle to hold my bones where they need to go. That's a problem. And I need that. If I'm going to start hitting like trails and walls and I want to be hitting.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I don't know I don't want to be hitting stuff but I might hit walls no I'll take that back I'm just making the point that I want to be resilient and I'm not I'm not there not there I got to work harder but I got to build on this activity not reduce it well link I know something that can help with that are you about to transition to talking about the aura ring yeah we are We're investors in ORA ring, and they are a sponsor of this episode, ORA, the maker of the ORA ring, which we've been wearing for years now. Yeah. And it does help you with your activity because it keeps up with your activity goal and where you're at and meeting that activity goal in any given day. It gives you a little progress report.
Starting point is 00:29:46 The thing that I love, like when I open up the app, it detects your activities and then credits them towards. your goal at 6.25 a.m. for 34 minutes, did you walk? And I'm like, confirm. Yes, I did. Because that was your dog walk? That was my dog walk. As I'm able to confirm that, confirm yesterday's activities. Okay? Fell on your ass. Cycling. Yeah, that did happen. Yes. I was cycling and then I walked and was injured for 17 minutes. And I'm gonna I'm gonna credit all of those to my activity now, because then I'm going to look at my, I'm going to click on my activity, and my activity score for yesterday was 94. I got a crown. Of course, you know, I did fall off my bike and all that stuff. I already told you, too. But it's nice to get a crown with everything I've
Starting point is 00:30:44 already told you. So it keeps up with how stressed you are. So I would like you all to know that right now I'm relaxed. Okay. Yay. So a moment by So nothing about that story stressed me out. I have no empathy for you. Yeah, that hurts a bit. My entire day here, I've been mostly, I've been relaxed or engaged. I was only stressed, let's see you when I was stressed.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I got so stressed telling the story, I gotta take my shirt. I was stressed at 2.30? 2.30? 2.30? I think we started talking business. Okay, got a little stressed. But what we're getting at is this feedback loop of tracking your activity
Starting point is 00:31:28 is just another way for you to, that the ORA ring encourages you to stay engaged with your goals. And it's a great way to take your long-term health seriously while also being kind of fun if you're into data like we are.

And I had a stressful moment yesterday. I flew back from North Carolina yesterday, as we record this, it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Now, I'm trying to be more observant of my...
Starting point is 00:32:24 anxiety as it relates to travel. And so on Saturday, I was in the room with Jesse, and I said, I'm just gonna talk out loud about a couple of things. I was like, I'm just letting you know that I'm beginning, I'm just telling you this out loud because I'm trying to step outside my own experience. It's a good practice.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I am beginning to get anxious about the flight tomorrow. And there's absolutely no real reason to be anxious about it, but I'm just, let's just explore this. I was like, now, it's me and Shepard and my nephew, Eli, we're flying back, and Sean and Barbara coming back with us. And there's a layover.
Starting point is 00:33:16 And there was a bunch of canceled flights all around the country. And I'm seeing this on the news. And so I'm beginning to think like, layover. Yeah, the thing about flying the Delta flight out of R-DU to LAX is if you want the direct flight, it is a really inconvenient time. It's like 6 o'clock p.m. No, it's like in the, it's a.m. It's early. It's like 605 or something like that. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I took it two days ago. That was a Saturday night. They didn't have that on Sunday. Oh, they didn't? They don't have that every day. If you're a Delta person, just so you know, you're our favorite airline. We fly you.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I am a diamond medallion member. What do you want? What do you want from then? I want a reasonable direct flight from R-DU to LAX on the daily. Oh, God. There's enough people in the triangle to support this. It will fill up, trust me. And I'll be on it a lot.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Go back to your story. You were stressed, you were talking about it. But maybe I shouldn't make any please to Delta, after what I'm going to tell you. Wow. So I was stressed out about it because I have a little bit of trauma from the time that I got stuck in Atlanta for three days because of a flight delay because I missed my connection with my family.
Starting point is 00:34:41 And that was without dogs and with wife. My wife was not with me. And I like it when she's with me. She helped solve problems. And I also just. like being with her, this for the record. But, uh... You're really doing a lot of pandering.
Starting point is 00:34:58 So we had done, uh... Delta, your wife. Two, a two hour, two and a half hour layover. Because also, I do not like to do that 40. Who, what kind of crazy psychopath does a 45-minute layover in this economy? Because your ass is going to get left. Waiting is losing. That's my, that's, that's my motto.
Starting point is 00:35:18 If you have dogs and you're going through the busiest airport in the entire world, which is the Atlanta airport, busiest airport in the world. And you have to go from D to T or whatever, you're going across the whole thing. You were scared. I was just like, a lot of things could go wrong. And then, but I told Jesse, I was like, you know, let's say we do get delayed.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Let's say I do miss my flight. Let's say I get stuck in Atlanta with Eli, Shepard, Barbara, and Sean. We'll just create memories together. Nobody's gonna die. I mean, plane crashes, we're gonna die. I never worry about the plane crashing. Never, zero, negative worry about that. It's about getting stuck somewhere.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And so she was like, it's good that you're vocalizing this. And I was like, I'm just letting you know, it's not like a high anxiety, I'm just like observing myself. Well, I wake up the next day. Flight delayed. Oh, God. Flight already delayed. And you know what happens when the first flight gets delayed?
Starting point is 00:36:18 Yeah, they all get delayed. It starts inching back a little bit. At least you were still at home. Yeah, so I stayed home a little bit longer, but I still got there early. Now, another thing, the dogs have, they each have their own problems when being put into the carriers and taken on a flight. Sean's problem, as I have documented before, is he becomes a wild man that wants to eat his way out of the container.
Starting point is 00:36:44 And he has successfully done that on more than one occasion. He broke out of the thing at LAX and went on a rampage to the airport. We were able to retrieve him, though, unless we got another Sean that looks exactly like. He could have exchanged at that point, I don't know. But I think it's the same dog. And we had to replace a whole carrier because he chewed through one.
Starting point is 00:37:05 And then Barbara doesn't like to be in there at all. And she resists going in, and then when she's in there, she barks every 20 seconds. It's like a fire alarm. Oh, p'p, p'n. Oh! Oh! Ah!
Starting point is 00:37:18 So she'll vocalize. and then he'll destroy. Yes. But neither one of them want to be in there. But the vet gave us an anti-anxiety medication that they commonly prescribed to dogs who were about to travel. And we came up with a new system, and that's it, because what we realize is that they get really good
Starting point is 00:37:38 once the medicine kicks in, but getting them in, getting them to the airport and all this stuff, you start the night before, because it's every eight to 12 hours. So right before they go to bed, you give it to them, so you're giving them a second dose, in the morning. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Jesse did this on the way over. How many doses can you give them in a row? Well, some dogs are on this medication. Some stressed out dogs are on this medication all the time. Okay. But it's a slight, you know, light sedative, and it keeps them from not being anxious every 8 to 12 hours. So we did it before they went to bed, then we did it the next morning. We put them in the crates at the, when we were dropping the rental car off.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Are they floppy like my arm when I fell off my bite? the containers no the dogs oh are the dogs no no no no they they do not you would just be like they're a little bit slower dazed and moving a little bit slower and like Sean's kind of like high blinking a little bit Sean gets like the high eyes and Barbara doesn't come down as much as I would like her too as you will find out so we put them in there and then uh Sean is an angel. Like this method works great for Sean. He's not trying to get out, he's not biting,
Starting point is 00:38:57 he's not making any noise. We take him out, you have to take them out when you're going through security, I guess to show that, I mean, I guess you can't, you just can't put the dogs through the X-ray machine, that would be bad. But you have to put the carrier through the X-ray machine. Well, I mean, why not?
Starting point is 00:39:12 This man is a so-and-so medallion. Let him put his dogs through that thing. That's right. So I'm not having any issues. We get on the first leg of the flight and the flight to Atlanta from RDU's not very long. But it's long enough for Barbara to begin. I was like, oh damn it, this isn't,
Starting point is 00:39:37 the medication's not working. She's not calm enough. And I'm like, well, I'm gonna give her a half pill during the layover in Atlanta because it had been like six hours almost, but I just give her a half, Okay. And I did let her put her head out of the thing.
Starting point is 00:39:54 She'll just put her head out, and then she'll start trying to crawl out. But I just say, no, no, Barbara. Just your head, bitch. And so, and she just looks at you like, she's like, I hate you for this. She's such a judgey face. Sean stays in the whole time. He's great. I try to take them out, and I do take them out.
Starting point is 00:40:12 And then they tell me to put them back in. Well, stay tuned, my friend. What? So we have the layover in Atlanta, which was a shortened layover, but still long enough for us to not panic, take them to the dog relief area where both dogs relieved themselves, and it is a great dog relief area in Atlanta, as I've covered before. Not a sponsor. In the Delta Terminal, maybe all the terminals. I don't know. It's just, it's great. It's a hub, you know. So then we get on the plane. And Barbara is basically, well, first I tried to take them
Starting point is 00:40:50 into the lounge without being in the carrier. And the guy's like, sir, you know you have to, I said, oh, I guess I know. You should have been like, no, I didn't know. That's why they weren't in it. Why you'd be like, yeah, I know. I was just, I'm a medallion. He said that as I was going in.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I'm a so and some medallion. My dogs are gonna walk in here. You're not, you're technically not supposed to have them out in the airport if they're not a service animal. Oh. But people do it, everybody. does it. So I put them in the thing. Barbara's beginning to bark, and I'm like, getting a little stressed out, because I don't like to be the guy that causes the problem. That's not my thing. My thing is being the guy that doesn't cause the problem. I'm kind of like, that's my identity. And so. It wasn't me. And you're like shaggy. Yeah. And so we get on the plane.
Starting point is 00:41:40 So we're over on the sofa. Sean is great. Barbara immediately barking. And Shepard's like, just let her out. Let her out, man. It's fine. So I opened the thing, she sticks her head out. In the lounge. No, no, I'm back, I'm on the plane. Oh, you're now-
Starting point is 00:41:59 You missed that part, I boarded the plane. And so, but this is the flight to LA, so we're like talking a five-hour flight. And so one hour into it, she's already head out and then she's basically, I opened the side and she's like half body out. And then an hour and a half into the flight, she's out. She's just out and she's there between our feet.
Starting point is 00:42:22 She's trying to go under and the seat and go into the front. And then I put her leash on. And so I've got her leash on and she's kind of down there. And she's sort of quiet sound. She starts barking for whatever reason, just because she's like, I want to go see the pilot. I don't know what it is. She wants to move.
Starting point is 00:42:38 And then, Shepard, I will blame Shepard on this. Okay. Sheppard. You could blame a friend Tim. Yeah, this is also a Timiswold. And I take Sean, Shepherd takes Sean out of his, great. I guess he thought, oh, went in wrong.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Let's get, let's join in on the fun. Oh, no. So Sean gets out of his carrier, and he is just a wonderful dog, you know, when he's drugged. And he's such a well-behaved boy when he's drugged. And he's just kind of hanging out in Shepherd's lap. He comes over to my lap, and he licks you face a little bit. It was one time I got a picture, I'll show you the picture.
Starting point is 00:43:16 He's just, he is literally, he's just sitting right there in between us. Yeah, he's sitting right on that thing. He's just sitting right there on the armrest, which I don't think they like. Yeah, he's very visible in a place where he's not supposed to be. But he is looking nice and he's drugged. He has, the reason I realized they let me get away with this is because he's got his harness on and so he looks like a service dog. He's cosplaying as a service dog
Starting point is 00:43:47 but he is doing no service to anyone. Now there are a, there are a lot of people who say their dog's a service dog, you know, emotional support animal, whatever, they're cracking down on that stuff. We're not doing, we don't do that. And so I haven't tried to, people, people advised me to do that. And I was like, ah, I didn't feel good about it.
Starting point is 00:44:05 So, but she's passing by. The flight attendant is passing by and just sort of not, we got both, We're having a blast. Oh. The dogs are making eyes at other people. It's like having cute babies that aren't crying. We are the most popular people on the plane in our section, at least.
Starting point is 00:44:24 30 minutes left to go. And I'm thinking, I'm going to put them back in right before, right? Maybe after we land. I don't care, you know, just as long as they're in before I get off the plane. And I start, I smell something. Oh, my, no. Oh, what? Oh no, oh no.
Starting point is 00:44:45 And I was like, is that urine? Like I thought to, the first thought I had was, is that urine? Because it didn't smell like shit. I was like, is that urine? I was like, Sean wouldn't just piss on me. He was, he is drugged. He wouldn't just piss on me. I didn't feel anything.
Starting point is 00:45:04 And when I looked down, I saw that he had vomited. Oh. Right in the gap between my legs. Like, missed my jeans, but right onto the seat. And it's clear, because he basically had hardly any food. We gave him a little bit of food in the morning with his medicine. But it was like, you know how sometimes like the dogs all kind of spit up water almost, but it's kind of like... Viscous.
Starting point is 00:45:29 It's a little viscous. And so... Sorry. Sorry, y'all. Jenna just gagged over there. Oh, God. And so... If you grab one end of it, you can pick up the whole thing sometimes, but it is...
Starting point is 00:45:42 but it looks like water. There she goes. Jenna just vomited all over the floor. Is it viscous, Jenna? No, go, stop it. So then he was doing that thing where he's vomited, but now it's kind of like in his nose or whatever, it seems like,
Starting point is 00:45:56 I hate you both. He's like trying to, he's truly trying to breathe it out, you know. Dog is stopped doing that. And you're like, oh gosh, my dog gonna die right here in front of everybody. They're gonna take away my diamond. Dead dog medallion. You're gonna strip your medallion.
Starting point is 00:46:17 So, now if it was an actual medallion, let's put a pin in that. Yeah, because I was thinking like, I didn't overdose him, you know. He just had one dose, but is he having like a reaction to this thing? I'm panicking a little bit. Then I hit the call button because I needed napikins. Yeah. And I said, oh, he had a little accident. And I'm like pointing in between my legs.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Like, he, and is that me? It's my dog. My cute dog. And then she said, she got this look on her face and she said, that's from the dog. And I was like, yeah? And she said, okay, I'm going to get you some napkins and a couple of moist towelettes. But is that a service animal or a pet?
Starting point is 00:47:08 I was like, I could have lied. He did have his harness on. but I said, Pat, and she said, yeah, well, he shouldn't be out. He shouldn't have been out at all for this reason. And we now have to do, when we land, we have to do a bio-hazard cleanup of your seat. Oh, no, what? What is that? Yeah, they have to.
Starting point is 00:47:30 What? Because. Because of throw-up. Yeah, any bodily fluid. A person to? A person and an animal. I thought this was an insult to my dog, but it's good to know that we all are. Definitely, it's people and animals because it is a biohazard.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Yeah. Right. Because people got stuff inside of them, dogs got stuff inside of them. Yeah, yeah. Well, that was when I realized that he had done it in between my legs, but he had also done it over the edge of the seat and down there onto the handle of Barber's Carrier.

Now, let me just say, as I was, cleaning this mess up. The main thing I was thinking was, oh, am I going to be blacklisted? I'm not going to be blacklisted
Starting point is 00:49:19 and not be able to take my dog. So let me just, just for the people of Delta, just so you understand. You are my favorite airline, you always will be. You're better than all the rest. I've said this on the record several times, including one time to a Delta interviewer that was at a red carpet event
Starting point is 00:49:36 who just wanted to have a conversation and I just turned it into an ad for, because I feel that strongly about it. Yeah, that's, I will, that is true. I will say that, and it's never been more true than it is right now. This is a one-time thing. My dogs usually don't behave like this. We don't exactly know what happened.
Starting point is 00:49:54 So you cleaned up the viscosity? I cleaned it up, I got it, I completely cleaned it up. And there was no more. I got them back in their carriers where Barbara proceeded to bark. Like, gee, it's such a problem. She does not want to be in there. And she takes her face and she's like, puts it up on the top of the carrier.
Starting point is 00:50:17 And she looks like a burglar that's got his face in pantyhose. And she's like, whirr, she's so mad at me. And I'm like, this is where you belong. This is how we get you, but you want me to put you in a cargo? Drugs, more drugs. Well, I gotta talk to the vet about it because I don't know what you do. Not enough.
Starting point is 00:50:34 She's bigger than Sean. Well, and she takes twice the dose that he takes, which is the vet approved dose. And his dose, which is half, worked perfectly for him, other than the fact that it occasionally makes him throw up. But... So then, when you were leaving, were people like rushing on in hazmat? No, it's not like that.
Starting point is 00:50:55 There was a lady with a vacuum. I mean, she told you, she let you have it. I was thinking there was hazmat. I was like, golly, they're gonna send me a bill. I didn't know what was gonna happen, but she did say, have a great day as I was leaving, because it was kind of like, I know you didn't mean to do this, and we don't hate you here, Diamond. But we're judging you.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Yeah, yeah. And you shouldn't have done that. You should have known better. So what are you going to do next time? Well, rule number one that I will communicate to Jesse and already have is we can't do the layover with the dogs because it creates this window of exposure. We just need like if it's the inconvenient flight, we got to get on it because we need to minimize the window of exposure. What else are you going to do? I'm going to talk to the vet about the dosage.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Okay. What else are you going to do? I don't have anything else. Well, come up with it. I don't have anything else. Every time you see a Delta employee for the next six months, you're going to. I already always go up to them and tell them how good. I say thank you for your service.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Are you going to apologize? No. You know what I need to do? I need to get one of those little clickers that... it emits like a dog whistle sound when Barbara barks so I can be like every time she barks. I'm like, that's a good idea. Only she and all the other dogs.
Starting point is 00:52:18 She shuts up every other dog just goes ballistic. I shut the whole plane up or make them all go crazy. Yeah, that's probably, I don't know. Let's check a list of things that are allowed on a plane before you do that, but what else you're gonna do? I'm done with the things that I'm gonna do. I don't think you are. I think maybe a little hazmat gear.
Starting point is 00:52:39 A little packet of your own hazmat gear That you donate? I think I can get a barf bag for Sean Did you not have one in your seat also? Oh yeah, we put all of the disposed things into the baby bag They have a bag that says baby on it I think it's for very small babies Yeah, because that's why they put the barf bags there
Starting point is 00:53:00 Because if you barf in that They don't have to do a whole hazmat thing, I think How do you know about this? It's standard cleaning procedure Hold on. What do you mean? Did you just common knowledge me? I just common knowledge deal.
Starting point is 00:53:13 All right, fine. I'm sorry. I'm fine with that, Jenna. I don't know everything that you know. I don't know everything everybody knows. Technically, if someone were to throw up in here, it would be a whole different cleanup procedure. No, Mr. Leon, may he rest in peace, our janitor from Bowie's Creek Elementary School. The magic dust.
Starting point is 00:53:36 The dust. All it takes is some salt dust. Or whatever that dust is. Saw dust in a little bit of time for it to absorb. And then Mr. Leon comes back in and he sweeps it around. A little sweep, a little scrape. Maybe a little second dusting. And then he's done.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Well, elementary schools and federal. I don't know if your elementary school was OSHA compliant. Probably wasn't. I will say one time. It's OSHA. Jenna, throw a shade at our elementary school now. Well, Mr. Leon. What is it?
Starting point is 00:54:05 Hey, it's okay. I know my elementary school did the same. They weren't OSHA? I'll tell you one thing about Mr. Leon. Every single time I have like a scrape or a cut or something on my hand, I think you got to clean that and make sure that's not infected because he was changing a bulb in the auditorium, the footlights. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:54:34 And he burnt, you don't know this? And he burnt his hand. and he did not get it checked out and they had to amputate his hand and he did all that janitorial work for like the last three or four years that we were at Bowies Creek Elementary with one hand.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yeah. Because of that. And so I always think to myself I got a little scratch right there and I think about Mr. Leon when I see that and I'm be like you got to make sure that's clean. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Well, I cleaned my wounds. Can we switch the subject to something positive and upbeat. I believe that was positive. We all learned something. I mean, we've made mistakes, and we've learned from them. Both of our stories were like so downer. Jenna, tell us about how awesome your discovery was,
Starting point is 00:55:23 because I think this will make people happy. My discovery? Your amusement park discovery. Which amusement park discovery? Well, you were telling us earlier that you went on the most amazing amusement park. I didn't know it was a discovery. Well, I didn't know about it. I went to Orlando for Thanksgiving with Michaela.
Starting point is 00:55:43 We went together and we did a bunch of different parks, but we went to Epic Universe, Universal's new epic universe. And oh my gosh, I probably said that a million times. The whole time was just like, oh, my God, oh, my God. Are you serious? Oh, my God. It was actually genuinely epic. I was happy to hear that Universal has stepped it up and has out Disney Disney, in your opinion. I think they out Disney Disney.
Starting point is 00:56:10 You think it's better than Disney? Yeah. Epic is so good. Well, it's also more adult as well than Disney, too. What about Disney adults? Well, Universal adults are by far better. Because you're one of those. I am. You go to Universal here.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Yeah, I have a season pass here. Which, I mean. they're doing, they're moving and shaking here. It's fine, they're doing the best they can with the space they have. I heard a guy recently say that he thought that Disney adults didn't have good sex. He was like, he didn't, he was like,
Starting point is 00:56:45 Disney adults probably not good at sex. Discuss. I've never dated a Disney adult. I didn't say it. Have you ever dated a Disney adult who was really good in bed? I just, just anecdotal. It is, yeah. It's, uh, hmm.
Starting point is 00:57:01 I did know. guy who was a Disney adult that dated a friend of mine and that did not that was not good he was also kind of abusive as well okay well hold on listen I mean we don't
Starting point is 00:57:15 apparently the sex was also not good I feel like the Disney adult man I'm generalizing here will probably be worse at sex than the Disney adult female because a little crazy goes a long way in the bedroom but only for women yeah yeah Yeah, I got a couple, like, girlfriends who are Disney adults, and...
Starting point is 00:57:36 I've only heard good things from Disney Adult Girls. Yeah, I got... Okay. They tell me the things. Yeah, they sound like they have a great time. All right, I think, I guess, maybe the guys are. Disney adults, they have a high capacity to be around children. And a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:57:53 And how do you make children? Meaning they're good at reproducing. Well, it seems like that there should be a correlation to reproduction. Listen, I'm just, hey, I'm just asking. Disney adults, by definition, don't have children who are at Disney with them. So they're not, Correct. Disney adults are not parents.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Correct. So they're not making kids. Oh. Yeah, because then at that point you call them a Disney family. Yeah. Right. Right. It's a nice way to say these are childless attendees of Disney.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Yeah. Which, like, I love when people are passionate. That's great. I mean, I'm a universal adult. That's my thing. But, yeah, I was obsessed. If Disney makes you horny, then what kind of sex are you going to have, I think, is really the question here. Then you get into furries, because, like, what are they watching on Disney?
Starting point is 00:58:42 It depends on what movie gets you going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you get into cleanup. Beauty and the Beast is pretty, you know. That's where all the monster romances have gone after. Where? Beauty and the Beast. Readers and then who like the Beast, yeah, you're going to monster romances for sure.
Starting point is 00:59:01 But you get, so it does seem like you'd be better at sex if you're into universal. I don't know. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. But what was so good about it? I mean, what was so good about it? I loved it personally. Well, first of all, it was like the park itself was massive.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Just absolutely, like, there was so much space. They got so much. I didn't, I didn't get, like, claustrophobic one big. Like, there was so much space. It didn't feel crowded at all. And then you have just a regular central area where they had music and places to eat and drink. And then you would go through these portals to the different lands that they had. And the portals really felt like when you walked through it, you were being transported.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Like they had a sound effect. They had these cool, like, light things when you walk through it. And then you go into the land and it's the music of. whatever that movie or genre is. Gotcha. Like, spectacular. Burke, which is for those who are How to Train Your Dragon fans, stunning. So stunning.
Starting point is 01:00:15 And the animatronics, so cool. The animatronics for the scary monsters. And what role? Go through the world. Okay, yeah. There's Burke for How to Train Your Dragon. Then you've got the Harry Potter world, which is kind of like set in France, but then you take flu powder to go to the ministry in London anyway,
Starting point is 01:00:34 which was a very cool ride. And then there's Mario Land as well, which is cool because they also have Donkey Kong in there, which they don't have here. And then there's the Monsters Universe, all the Universal Monsters, Frankenstein, Dracula, Invisible Man, Mummy, Werewolf, like all of their monster movie monsters. in one land and I get scared and it was a little scary and I liked it okay it was so that that was my
Starting point is 01:01:06 favorite ride monsters unchained by far my favorite ride I've ever been on in my entire life okay so what's the what is the approach to that one that one is set up in like a four person um that it's one of those robotic arms that have the four person seats that like move the whole thing at once and Then you shift around and there's a screen and animatronics. And you move through the space through this whole story. People have done the Forbidden Journey Ride, Harry Potter Forbidden Journey Ride. That's a four-seater that does the same thing, except this was on another level. Anytime there'd be like a shock with like, you know, bringing the Frankenstein monster to life or whatever, you get shocked.
Starting point is 01:01:55 I mean, you know, not like shocked to like painful, but it's a startle. Like the whole time I was like, oh, when the mummy gets undressed, you get undressed. The mummy, you could see its brains coming out. Like, we had to write it again because I was like, the anitronics were so good. I was like, I need to see this again, like immediately. And the werewolf was cool, the Frankenstein, a creature. I fully obsessed, fully obsessed. I think that Rett's flight home.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Home could be one of the rides there. Think about that. Rett's Flight Home, you have two dogs at various level of being drugged. Are you me, Shepherd, or like, the flight attendant? Yeah, who are you playing? Or the person across the aisle. Has Matt?
Starting point is 01:02:43 You've got to clean it up. Yeah, I mean, you don't want to draw that stick. But yeah, Universal's not a sponsor, but if Epic Universe wants to reach out to me and just give me tickets whenever, I mean, I love. A Delta Flight. to universe. Y'all are both just pantering everything.
Starting point is 01:02:57 I did take Delta. I did take a Delta flight. I love Delta. Y'all are needy. I lost my Delta access to the lounges. So, look at how needy y'all are. It's like, oh, we don't have too many episodes left. We got to. Yeah, get it all in a new again.
Starting point is 01:03:11 Hey, I'm never going to be able to speak again after this. Where are my, when are people going to hear from me? They're never going to hear from me. This is my opportunity. That can't be true. Well, you know, I don't know. Who knows? But it might be.
Starting point is 01:03:23 It might be. We don't know. If you keep this up. We haven't caught that far ahead. Yeah, we don't know. Wow. So there we go. Epic.
Starting point is 01:03:33 What's it? Epic universe. And they have another one that's just a bunch of roller coasters still, right? That's been a while. They have two, well, they have three other parks. Okay. They've got the water park, and then they have the two Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios, Hollywood. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:49 I ever go to a water park again. I don't know. I'm not really a water park gal. I don't think I, yeah. I think I've water parked all I'm going to water park. Back to that hazmat thing. You talk about fluids. Oh, talk about the great wolf water.
Starting point is 01:04:00 That's what you don't want. Fluids. Yeah. Hidden fluids in other fluids. You know what I'm saying? You got a fluid on an armrest, that's one thing. Or in your crotch on your seat. That's one thing.
Starting point is 01:04:11 But you've got a fluid in another fluid, it's lost. You just have it. Yeah, if you're swallowing it, I think if you're choosing it between my dog's vomit and a water park. Exactly. I think water park is worse. Waterpark is better than the dog. I would drink. My dog's vomit is pure.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Vomit. He is such a cutie. Before I would go to a waterpark. I let him lick my face within 30 minutes. He is such a wonderful dog. I remembered something did happen, exactly. Something did happen on my, I was beside this guy who was watching football the whole way home. and everybody was like
Starting point is 01:04:54 everybody was watching their movies or sleeping I was sleeping but the dude he would be like oh oh my god outbursts after outburst oh he was into it he was into the football game
Starting point is 01:05:07 and just bursting out with like oh no oh no you can't be on a plane and be like oh no oh no you got to keep on the side oh gosh oh you flew on a Saturday so it was college football yeah and he was going nuts about Oh, well, that makes more sense.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Yeah, yeah, college football. But you can't be on a plane with outburst. Well, you got to keep it low. Oh, it's things like that. It wasn't a night, right? Oh, my goodness. He was saying stuff like this. Yeah, that's over the top.
Starting point is 01:05:39 And I'm sitting beside him. You slap him? And I'm like, well, where do I slap him? Right on the mouth? I think you, I think you say. Just pop him on the mouth? I think you lightly tap, sure, sir? Well, I have to keep sitting beside it
Starting point is 01:05:51 You know, so I don't want it to be me Okay, then what'd you do? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. And he kept it up. Yeah, he kept it up the whole time. Christie and Lando there sitting in front of me They kept turning around looking. And I was like, I don't know, he said it was a football.
Starting point is 01:06:08 He's okay, you know? Was he bigger than you? No, he was smaller and older. But he was feisty. You know, he was into football on a plane. I even turned on to football for a moment to see if... It was worth getting excited about it. He could have joined him.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Oh, oh my gosh! I didn't do it, though. She would root for the other team. Oh, oh, right there beside it. Right there. That would have been, oh, that, you had the perfect opportunity. That would have been great. To be into the other team.
Starting point is 01:06:44 Wow. That was the ultimate chess move. Yep, I didn't have it in me. And then he looked at you, be like, I knew that I was going to fall off my bike the next day, so I was, like, saving up my energy for that. I just had a sense. I'm going to go home, and what do they say,
Starting point is 01:07:03 reap the whirlwind? What's it called? Reap, I don't know. There's some saying that's like... I attended a college football game. I saw that on your story. You went to the state game. The last game of the season,
Starting point is 01:07:16 regular season every year is state plays Carolina and we go back and forth between the two stadiums. I do not go to the one there. But if it's at state, I go to it. And we beat their asses for the fifth time in a row. And like the 14th time out of the last 19 times. It's not a rivalry. You know, it's not a rivalry. Oh, look at this point. That's what they like to say about us. But it looked mighty cold. It was 30 degrees. I was very bummed. So I wasn't cold at all. And I was fully, I was, I had my long handle underwear on, as my dad calls it.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Long handles. Yeah. And I had on a hoodie and then I had on a jacket that I bought for like, I didn't have a jacket that was cold enough. So now I've got one there. Gloves. Is it an NC State jacket? It is just a black North Face jacket because I couldn't,
Starting point is 01:08:11 I went to Dix and tried to get the heaviest NC State thing they had. had and they didn't have anything so I just had a beanie on but we beat him so mercilessly merciless and it's just and you see Bill Belichick over there just on the sideline and his big ass hoodie just the best coach of all time just sitting there getting his ass handed to him by by the wolf back look at you it's pretty look at you into this I would have been oh my gosh if I watch it on the plane but I wouldn't watch that I'm not going to be in the air when that that game's happening. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:48 But that was fun. That was definitely something to enjoy that I did very much enjoy. You still, you look tired still. You still jet-legged? Still jet-legged. Okay, all right. I'll nap after this. Well, we've done it.
