me for a while yeah and then you just randomly sent me a photo of you all hooked up yeah with the with the with the some image like medical image i don't even know of your brain i was in hospital for five days dude i was actually trying to text you in the middle of the stroke yeah so what happened there yeah we're just chatting about the trip and then what happened well all right so i go drop my kid off at school. I give you me a kiss. I love you. I'll see you. I'll pick you up after school. I go to the gym.

I'm in the parking lot. I'm on the phone with one of my contractors because I have a proper investment property that this renovation is going on. I'm talking to him and I'm like, yeah, yeah, we should do this. We should do that. And all of a sudden,

I couldn't speak anymore. Couldn't talk anymore. And the guy was like, what are you talking about? I was like, you need to finish. And I'm like, couldn't talk. It was like i had like marbles in my mouth or like i couldn't produce the speech and i'm like oh shit something's up i couldn't talk you you could you could think everything i was thinking yeah i was like i gotta tell this guy to finish up the job soon like yeah

like the deadline's way past and i was like kind of getting annoyed right you know so i'm like trying to talk to him but i couldn't and i couldn't get any way past and I was like kind of getting annoyed. Right. You know, so I'm like trying to talk to him, but I couldn't and I couldn't get any speech out. And I was like, ha, that's really weird. So I was like, go, go. And I hung up the phone. Uh-huh. I tried to get out of the car.

I like tripped. My right leg didn't really work good. You know? Oh my God. So I'm in the parking lot of the gym and then I like limp on over into the gym. I dropped my phone like twice. I was trying to check in with the gym. I dropped my phone like twice. I was trying to check in with the app. I dropped my phone, pick it up, drop my phone, pick it up.

And the guy behind the counter is like, oh, you're feeling clumsy today, buddy. And I'm like, yeah, you know, whatever, right? You still went inside the gym. I still went in the gym. And then I was like, all right, I got to like work out. That's what I thought. I was like, it's a blood flow issue or something. I don't know what it is.

I don't feel good. Maybe I didn't sleep right. I don't know what it is i don't feel good maybe i didn't sleep right i don't know what it was so i'm in the gym i start jumper open and my right side not working all right that's so it gets caught on my right leg yeah and i fall over i dry again i fall over and it was like one of those things was like so empty in the gym for some weird reason usually that time period i drop my kid off at like 8 40 whatever it is i get in the gym it's usually packed but it was really quiet that morning for some odd reason i don't know why and then i'm like all right yeah yeah it's interesting you remember those weird details

yeah yeah maybe it's like a fake detail you know like maybe we're proud and everyone's just like look how authentic you just made the gym quiet yeah and then i go over to the kettlebells and i'm like you know i used to do 100 pound kettlebells i do like 100 reps not in a row but i do like that right so i'm like all right i'm just gonna go grab my kettlebells and do it i pick up the 100 pound kettlebell i can pick it up right you could pick it up swinging it yeah and this is like one of my sources of pride. I got six reps on that thing. Oh, gosh. Mid-stroke,

while having an ischemic stroke. I'm like falling over. My right arm's not really working. So it's like my left arm doing most of the work. And then I go to put it down and I fall down to my knees. Oh. And I had a hard time getting up to my feet.

Do you feel dizzy? Do you feel dizzy? I was off balance. My right side wasn't working. So I was like trying to get up to my feet. Do you feel dizzy? I was dizzy. I was off balance. My right side wasn't working. So I was trying to get up to my feet. But I couldn't lift my right leg up. Oh my God. So I lifted my left

leg up, right? And then I pulled myself up, right? And I grabbed my phone to and then my phone drops out of my head. And I'm like, okay, something's wrong. Right. And then I was like, all right, let me just get some cardio man so i go to the cardio machine oh my god you you worked out again after that i was in the gym for 10 minutes i think 10 15 minutes i was still

trying to work out i didn't know what it was uh-huh so i get on the cardio i'm like almost falling over and i'm like holding myself up with my good arm and i'm like all right i gotta go home and sleep this off that's what my initial thought arm and i'm like all right i gotta go home and sleep this off that's what my initial thought was yeah i probably didn't get enough sleep last night i get in the car i'm like fucking swerving terrible driver what you know what i'm having a stroke usually i'm pretty good right so there's this Asian guy driving. Yeah. And not really helping with the stereotype. No, yeah.

And then I'm driving and I'm like, I can't go home right now. I got to go to the doctor. Oh, thank God. What a choice. So I drove to my primary care's office. Yes. I go there and I get to the front desk, right? I park my car.

Yeah. So I'm like limping over and the lady's like, what's wrong? Are you okay? And I'm like, no, no, right? I park my car. Yeah. So I'm like limping over. And the lady's like, what's wrong? Are you okay? And I'm like, no, no, no. Oh, my God. And I was trying to tell her, like, I think I'm having a stroke. I don't know why. You knew that.

I don't know. But I just thought I was. I was like, this must be a stroke or something. Yeah. I wasn't having a heart attack because my heart wasn't, like, doing anything. Right, right, right. Like, you didn't have a chest pain or anything. No.

And then the lady was like, I think you're having a stroke too. Oh, she got the ambulance. Yeah. And then I was in the ambulance. I was trying to text you, but my right hand was like not doing it. So I was like trying to freaking text you. And, you know, we get there. They give me this TPA, which is like a life-saving medication.

You get four hours from the onset of the stroke to get it. After that, they won't give it to you because risk of bleeding. It's like a risk reward thing. Right? Right. Right. And then so they get it. Like,, they won't give it to you because risk of bleeding. It's like a risk-reward thing, right? Right, right. And then so they're like, you want to do this? You want to do this? You should do this, blah, blah, blah. Sign here.

And I'm like, I can't really sign, but I'll just scribble the thing in there. And they give it to me. You have to consent to that? Yeah. Oh, I thought they would just give it to you because it's such an emergency. And I was like, I can't do, like do like can I leave I kept asking if I leave Yeah, no, you can't leave when you take this thing. You have to with the monitor you for 24 hours Yeah, and I was like I'm going to Italy tomorrow a girlfriend. Oh

She's gonna be mad at me Right He's like you are not going to Italy no matter what scenario happens here yeah you're fighting for your life right now you know and I was like I didn't know realize it was that serious yeah yeah yeah so while I'm like you know telling so much detail I hold it in this much detail I didn't anybody I need anybody for a long time. I knew the details because after a few days you told me and, I mean, it's kind of surreal. I mean, I have to be really thankful that you're sitting here with me talking to me. Honestly, guys, I mean, we like to joke around here, but just imagine if Shintaro had gone home and slept it off

he would have been if I would have gotten on that plane to go to Italy with my girlfriend if he had that stroke on the plane he may not have been with us so yeah

that would happen I was in the hospital for 5 days it was scary because I was in the hospital for five days. It was scary because I was in the ICU, you know, monitoring me every hour, you know, around people who were dying, right? People who were intubated, people who were in a much severe situation. People's families are coming in. They're crying. They're screaming. All this stuff.

Sorry it's such a depressing episode, guys. I was extremely lucky, you know. I don't have any of those deficits, but there are some minor deficits that I'm figuring out little by little. You know what I mean? I can't really focus for that long. Looking at a computer screen gives me a headache. I have headaches that come and go. I forget stuff, like a lot of stuff.

I'll tell you a funny story, man. The very next day, I was out and I was like, all right, I can't be sitting around feeling sorry for myself Day after I got out of the hospital So I was like alright We gotta take you to the apple picking Because we haven't gone apple picking yet So I'm like mom you gotta drive obviously I can't drive right So we go apple picking and on the way home I'm like I want a salad from Panera Bread And I go up to the guy at the desk

And I'm like hey man Let me get that salad Barbecue chicken ranch What's in that thing Lettuce chicken ranch bacon And I'm like, hey, man, let me get that salad, barbecue, chicken, ranch. What's in that thing? And he's like, lettuce, chicken, ranch, bacon, this, that, this, that, this. And I'm like, what's in that salad again? Can you repeat that for me?

He's like, chicken, bacon, ranch, lettuce. I couldn't process it. I'm like, what's in that salad? And the guy goes, yo yo man, pay attention. And I was like, fuck you man, I had a stroke. Like shut the fuck up and repeat. Like I was going to lash it out at this guy, right? And then I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I can't get tough with anyone. Because if I get punched, I'll bleed to death. So I was like, can you just freaking repeat it? I had a stroke, you know? And like, I don't usually react like that though. So I was a little bit like, what's up with up with that you know like i'm getting so aggressive here all right it's probably i couldn't understand what was in that salad and it was very like wow am i gonna be living with this forever you know it was like kind of scary but now i went to sweet greens all day and i was like what's's in that hot honey chicken salad? And the guy's like, it's not a

salad, it's a bowl. And I was like, guy, it's a salad. What's in it? And I was like, quinoa, chicken, kale. And I was like, okay, okay, okay. I was like, I got it. And I was like this, I have it. So, I'm getting a little bit better.

It's crazy how we take a lot of things for granted. Even like little things like that. Yeah better it's crazy how we take a lot of things for granted even like yeah little things like that oh yeah so obviously i'm on blood thinners now yeah all these different things which prevent me from doing judo obviously because if i get thrown on my head and if i bleed in my brain it won't stop and i'm dead right so for now i gotta like not do judo which is really really sad obviously you know I'm grieving that you know because I want to grapple I really really like rolling around with men and women I like being held down yeah so yeah it's been so

crazy you know and then yeah you know the day after I got out of the hospital, my girlfriend broke up with me. Not Lara. This is my first relationship out of that five-year thing. I was in a five-year relationship, right? Yeah. My baby mama. Did she listen to this? I met this one.

Yeah, she was a very lovely, beautiful woman, but she's like i'm out oh man not that it was perfect you know but it was like i mean it's a short relationship you know it's crazy like i was watching like stroke survivor videos today people tell them their accounts but it's like young stroke survivor stories or something like that right and i'm like watching it i'm like listening listening and every single one of these women, it was like a women's thing. I don't know why. It was like five. Female stroke survivors.

Yeah. Yeah, it was like five accounts of women. Not one dude that I saw, right? It was just like the first five that came up or something like this.

And this woman was like, yeah, I was drinking a glass of wine and I fell and I came out and my husband taught me how to walk. He was there for me

the whole time. He's my rock. He never wavered and he was there for me the whole time he's my rock he never wavered and he was there for me every step of the moment i'm like man what the hell is that like it did not happen to me you know like oh my god out you know so it's okay i don't blame her man seriously i don't blame her yeah i mean there was probably before i'll have to say, when you told me, I was very upset with her. Because I'm Team Shintaro, you know? Of course, I'm always on your side, but I can't lie. I mean, I was very upset with her.

But Shintaro is a good boyfriend he defended her to the end he's like I understand I'm like it's not easy to face you know your partner's mortality and it's still a new relationship to it's not like it's very new years yeah right so I get it it's like still early on I even said like this is your out like this is your

chance you know it might not be what you wanted it to be and it's going to be a rough road the next few months I don't know if I'm disabled or not yet and I kept joking I was like I don't even know if my penis works it's not funny like come on you gotta have a sense of humor about that well it's it's you're you're having you're being a good sport about the whole deal I mean honestly for me doesn't mean I wasn't scared you know I wasn't scared yeah it's scared all that stuff throughout the whole deal I mean honestly for me doesn't mean I wasn't scared you know I wasn't scared yeah it's scared all that stuff throughout the whole process

while you were telling me I kept texting yeah I kept calling yeah thanks man I appreciate that you know but you were keeping it light you say oh it's all good I'm gonna be fine I died about it you know my wife's a doctor so she was telling me all about this procedures likecedures, like, oh, like, he may have this and that. And then, you know, she talked to you about the whole thing, too. When I hear something cool, I was in the hospital sitting around doing nothing. And this guy walks by, right? He's a doctor there.

You're the guy, right? I know it. I knew you were the guy. And he was like, I listened to your podcast. And I'm not going to out his name with a hospital or anything like that. But he was like, you're the guy. And then he was, like, talking about it. He did judo. He came to visit me. Like, I listened to your podcast. And I'm not going to out his name with a hospital or anything like that. But he was like, you're that guy. And then he was talking about it. He did judo.

He came to visit me. I listened to your podcast. He's like, did you talk to Peter? Does he know yet? I was like, yeah. I told him. And the guy's like, is it because Peter's wife's a doctor? I'm like, man, you know, Peter's wife's occupation.

I was like, that's so cool. And then he came visiting me the next day. Yeah. It's a chit chat to keep your your spirit like I felt like a little bit of Liberty yeah, it's funny that he knows that my wife's the doctor so I told that to my wife when you told me She was surprised I got how does she know that how does he know that I'm a doctor Well, you know, he's a doctor too. So yeah, that's probably why he probably pays attention to those yeah um but anyways throughout the whole process i wanted to say you know you kept it very light

and all so it was kind of a weird thing for me because i know i knew the severity of it but yeah you kept it light so i guess i wasn't like as devastating i i don't know it's just i'm so glad that you're healthy now well you know almost relatively healthy on your way to recovery yeah count my blessings like seriously man i could have been crippled i could have been disabled i could have been yes there's stuff that's happening they were like go see an occupational therapist speech therapist yeah because the first thing that went was speech and sometimes i have a hard time recalling certain words yeah so it's like oh man i'm stuck like wow and sometimes processing is difficult i forget a lot of my dad was like go get some c batteries c batteries yeah he's like some of the carbon monoxide alarm went off or something or the battery dies like go get

some c batteries it's like c batteries not oh and I like went to get the batteries and I came home and I had like a sandwich like where's what what's up and he's like looking at me like hey where'd you just go and I was like I got a sandwich bro like oh wait what do you want and he's like give me the batteries with batteries oh shit I was like that's right I was like I went to get the batteries and he went to a sandwich shop I think I got like a sandwich or something came home without the batteries yeah I called my mom too like I don't know what the grocery store I was like mama what do you I'm not Trader Joe's what do you want and she's

like all right and she was that kind of being nice about it too she's like yeah it's an orange juice and some ham yeah you know i'm like all right forgot the ham bro didn't get orange juice either actually you're like i came home with like my favorite things like all the chicken tenders and stuff she's like where's the ham and the juice for you know yumi's school and i was like gosh shit you ever watch that show on uh in netflix about this uh you know little kids in Japan going on errands by themselves yes yeah I like that that's me don't forget the juice I got it stop forgot it they usually remember on the on their way back though

and they go back yeah man him so how are your parents you know how are they good man they like keep like very good on the stress man i think like they're not like freaking out they're like there for me obviously you watch you me while i was in the hospital all that stuff you know uh it's crazy how they didn't crazy they weren't emotional i mean i'm sure they were i'm sure they're like affected but yeah it's just not that kind of a family that's gonna like sit around cry and then they're gonna hey come here you know let me hold you it's not really like that you know it's very like japanese my father like son

i'm here for you i can teach judo six days a week if you want i still got it i'm 84 i'm freaking strong i don't know where you got these genes from. It's probably on your mother's side. I'm so sorry about that. He put his hand on my shoulder. He's like, let me know if you need anything. Yeah. What a man. What a man.

Yeah, he's like so like, you know, he's like rocks out. But, you know, sometimes I need that too, right? Because I don't want to be, you know. And then my mom was like, I lost 14 pounds already. Because I'm not allowed to do any heavy lifting. Oh, gosh. I lost 14 pounds. Do I not'm not allowed to do any heavy lifting. Oh, gosh. I lost 14 pounds. Did I not look a lot leaner and smaller?

I didn't notice that. I thought it was just 14 pounds. I was like 225 and now I'm about 210. So my mom was like, your arms are getting so small. And I was like, mom, you got to be freaking kidding me here. You can't say that to me. Like, you know, I, you know, that's like, don't say that, you know? Yeah.

And then, like, I was moisturizing. And she's like, oh, your midsection looks so soft. And I was like, oh, no. I was like, woman, can you stop? Like, Jesus, like, you know? Don you stop? Like, Jesus. Don't worry about that, man. Small things. I know, but that's just the kind of, you know, my mom and dad.

Yeah, my daughter doesn't really understand yet. I told her I had a headache. And she's like, oh, Papa has a headache, and that's it. So we're still playing as usual. We don't want to alarm or freak her out. So we're just kind of business as usual yeah i went to the dojo last wednesday which is really nice to just go in there it was actually a couple days after i got out of the hospital you just you just uh said hi no i went in and taught the class bro oh you taught we had these two visitors that wanted to work out me and

i was like man i just had a stroke and then this is this they both looked at me and they started laughing right i was like no no i swear to god i can't work out with you you told them yeah and they're like i'm like no man i'm unbluffing it's like i really had a stroke i got out of the hospital like three days ago man i can't work out with you i swear to god i can't not i'm physically i mean it's it's uh it's crazy i don't look like i have a yeah i have a stroke you know but like the headaches are real you know it's like all those things are real confusion you know but today actually is a very good day i've been very very like fortunate i'm keeping like a little recovery journal like a stroke recovery journal

day one this day two that day three that you know you see the progress yeah yeah see the progress yeah because then it's so easy to like get lost in it and like not see it get lost in like the you know the negative emotions i look back to it you know what i mean that's a very good thing to do yeah yeah i count my blessings i have my little affirmations list you know why i'm better off not being in this relationship kind of a thing also separate note of all these little things that i'm doing i have my appointments follow-ups hematologist neurologist cardiologist i'm on a heart monitor to measure my heart and stuff like this because they think that's what made me have caused it i'm doing everything i thought possibly can to do everything you know to get to get, come back. You know, you guys need to watch some YouTube technique. I still have a lot of stuff to share.

I know. I, well, but first thing first, you gotta take care of your health. You gotta take care of yourself. And we weren't even sure if, I wasn't even sure if you could record today and I just hit you up and,

uh, you sound good. You sound good, man. I sound all right. Yeah. It was a good day, you know, keeping it together. You sound good, man. I sound all right. Yeah, it was a good day. You know, keeping it together, that's the main thing.

You know, in times like this. We're kind of doing this, almost doing this live, guys. I'm going to, as soon as we get off, I'm going to quickly edit it and then, you know, throw it up online. I mean, it's going to cause some shit storm, I guess. I guess so. I guess so i guess so maybe i'll make a video on instagram be like hey guys whatever whatever blah blah blah go check out the podcast if you want the details oh i should do that right yeah like maybe drive some you know numbers to this podcast we gotta good i haven't told anybody i really haven't told anybody i know a few people close

people i didn't think you would ever adjust this in on the podcast so i was fully planning to you know record episodes without you for a bit and then just say you're busy and then like kind of move on but yeah i was surprised by that decision yeah you know what it is i people are hitting me up randomly on instagram like hey i noticed you haven't put up any videos in a while you're okay yeah that kind of stuff and i was like wow that's very uh because i've been so consistent with my youtube for two years almost right that's very nice of everyone yeah something like oh man like people are wondering where i am you know and words kind of getting out right because i told you know certain people and some people you know i didn't kind of getting out right because i told you know certain

people and some people you know i didn't tell anyone not to tell anyone i did in the beginning yeah when i called eugene i was like all right yeah obviously he's my cousin so i'm usually i can't i have a stroke you know this my mom told her his mom anyway yeah right off the bat i mean he's family yeah yeah yeah he's a family member but then he didn't tell anyone and i told a couple more people they told more people. I was at the dojo Wednesday, and I told these two visitors, and then everyone else in the dojo was like,

wait, you had a stroke last week? And I'm like, yeah. Oh, gosh. So the word's getting out, you know, and might as well everyone know. You know, that way I get so many emails now that the pandemic is done with that like, hey, I'm coming to work out with you.

You know, I'm coming to work out. Can you work out with me? Can I, i you know like some french black belt was like i would love to film me working out with you and it's kind of felt like i want to work out and challenge me or something like i really can't like i have a heart monitor now and again i'm blood thinners yeah i did contemplate last wednesday oh gosh please i was like could I potentially take these two guys and then throw them really, really fast before I got my heart rate above like 150, right?

And before there was any risk of me getting the ding to the head, like, could I potentially do this? But I was like, I can't risk that.

You can't risk that. You gotta, you gotta think of Yumi. You gotta think of Yumi. Yeah. Yeah, you guys might all think I'm actually faking

because I sound so good. But I'm thanks to modern medicine guy that that that drug did wonders huh it's full so i guess one thing is like if you feel like you're like you can't speak or your whole side of one side of the body is going numb or something yeah go to doctors in four hours yeah it didn't dissolve my clopper that's the unsettling part it's still lodged in or the body is going numb or something. Yeah. 4 hours. 4 hours. Yeah. It didn't dissolve my clot, but that's the unsettling part. It's still lodged in there. You know what I mean?

Oh, it's still there? It's still there. That's the unsettling thing. So it kind of like broke off, I guess, and then made some room for a blood flow. Maybe, yeah. That's what they're saying, but it's like still lodged in there. So it's like,

I'm going to do another follow-up MRI CT scan. So what are they going to do? Wow, nothing wow nothing to do you know this is the thing like now i'm on the anticoagulants they're not gonna go through the vein and go try to break it up let it be you know they're not telling me like yeah and i was like hey is it gonna dissolve on its own they're like we don't know yeah can't really say so i'm like yeah that kind of not fun to think about yeah the thing is large in there i i mean c'est la vie i guess you gotta yeah yeah yeah well i'm glad i'm glad you're okay you know i'm it's i'm just thank you the first when you told me i was just thinking like oh my god what if

he had gone on that airplane and i was just happy that you caught it when you caught it and you're healthy you're on your way back so guys if you want to challenge shintaro just uh you get you get one more year to train a little bit yeah you have to wait a little bit yeah yeah then come come at me after that it was kind of getting fun people always coming by yeah obviously that adds a stress too right because they could potentially hurt my students yeah yeah you know a lot of people don't have that kind of clean judo yeah you can you you guys can you get you guys can challenge george the greek god george man i don't want george getting hurt he's jacked enough to handle him handle it um so yeah i'm i'm working my way back i'm doing all

the therapy this and that physical therapy speech occupational stuff and doing all my follow-ups and uh you know send you know messages i might not respond because I'm not like it's hard for me to you know do all of it and respond to everything but I greatly appreciate it yeah I mean it helps you guys you guys are the reason why he decided to really publicly speak about this you know yeah great excuse for my discord channel where I'm never really on it. You're back, though. You're talking. Yeah, come on by, man. You got to come by and say hi.
