Morning Show. You know food allergies, You know, we all all of
us know someone who is affected byfood allergies. If not, you maybe
are affected by it. I knowAlex, my husband. You know,
he's allergic to some shellfish, shrimp, lab shrimp, lobster, crab,

(00:24):
those three. It used to be, but he is now. And we
were in Asia recently and we didn'twant to. I didn't want to eat
any of the street food, whichI love, by the way, because
I don't know how they are aboutcross contamination and how it's prepared whatever.
So when you go to some restaurants, they're very, very very careful about
cross contamination. They ask you whenyou sit down, any food allergies this
and that. We have to that'show we live. I know that God

(00:49):
in food allergies. Here in theroom, I will look Garrett yep,
juliak yeah, dis a million exactly. Sometimes I think she's kind of I'm
not one hundred percent convinced over therewith that. Oh here we go.
Well I should not, but wedon't know, so we should not doubt
her. Yeah, but uh,It is a serious thing, you know.

(01:11):
And I remember when I was akid. I don't remember any of
my friends having food allergies and howit has evolved, and I you know,
there's a million different theories, butit's different. Now. You get
on an airplane, if someone's deathlyallergic to peanuts, then okay, let's
all give up peanuts for a couplehours. I think we can do that
for them. Listen, let's letthis passenger live. You know, don't

(01:34):
do a fit because you can't heavypeanuts because this person's allergic, well they
could die. You got to takeit seriously. So anyway, Daniel DeLillo
is on the line, you know, which we love our Daniel DeLillo.
How are you going to Daniel DeLillo? Hey, you're doing every sign,
so we wanted to get you onthe folks, I know that you as

(01:55):
far as food allergies go, youhad an incident that happened with your godson,
right, yes, yes, Carterwent to a baseball game on Friday.
They went to a food vendor.He got a vanilla shake and they
had to use the EpiPen on himand rushing to the hospital. What's allergic
to? He is allergic to soy, he's allergic to tree nuts, pine

(02:19):
nuts, coconut, sesame, Imean a whole slue, a lot of
stuff, just nuts. You know. Well, so that you said he
got a shake, he drank ashake or something like that. So does
it say they're on the sign thesethings? Are these are ingredients or do
they tell you guys that you gottabe careful about what happened. It's around

(02:43):
the stadium, but I didn't.I mean, I'm not sure if it
was posted up by the food vendor. But recently they went to a game,
maybe a month or so ago,and he had a sip and he
was fine. So they're thinking itwas crossed contaminy. So it's it's important
to really stay safe and wash yourhands and don't use the same spoon that

(03:06):
you're using for another thing. Youknow. I know that happened to Alex
with his lobster. Remember I toldyou that it was an Easter. His
mother put a piece of lobster onhis plate. He says, ma,
I'm allergic. She took it offhis plate. He continued eating, and
that little lobster was only on therefor like a minute or a second,
and he blew up you know,it's from something that easy. And then

(03:27):
he used his phone later and ithad lobster on it and he blew up
again. And then his mother kissedhim on the forehead while he was in
the hospital, and he blew upagain because she had lobster on her lips.
It's like, it depends on Idon't know. So your point in
your email you sent to me aboutyour godside is not enough people take it
seriously enough, right, Yeah,exactly. And I was on a plane

(03:51):
recently too, and they announced thatthere was a panadalogy and the guy in
front of me, he was like, Eh, I forget about it.
I'm gonna eat them nuts anyway.I'm like, you don't know else to
view this allergy is don't do that, you know, So people need to
really take it seriously. And Idon't think people take it seriously enough.
And and that's why I sent youa note, because you reached so many

(04:13):
people, and it's just important topay attention and take care. I feel
like people don't care enough, andwe just need to care, you know.
So you know, our own Deanais allergic to peanuts. They made
she she went to catch a planeand told them that she has a peanut
allergy, and so she had toboard with everyone like in the disability section.

(04:38):
Like she like say, I don'tknow, I just like what I
mean? What anyway? Well doesshe's That's what she said. She had
she had to board with people whohad you know, the the wheelchairs and
this and that, who need theyneed to get on early because it takes
a little time to get on board. And I'm like, of course,

(04:59):
scary, as like what it's quiteto good on board first? Yeah,
what a great idea. You know, I'm on a board first, So
I have a peanut allergy coming through. Oh scary. Okay, if he
starts chowing down on those peanuts,what are you gonna do is he'll forget?
You know, he'll forget? Ohyeah, why do you say things
like that? Okay, it's unhookedthat microphone anyway? Scary. So you're

(05:28):
right, though, people do needto take it seriously, and they don't
until someone they know is affected byit. Then all of a sudden,
Okay, they take it seriously.So anyway, so how's your godson doing
now? Is he Okay? He'sdoing much better. They had him on
a seventy two hour steroid. He'sin the hospital until about six in the
morning. I left the ballpark probablyaround like eight o'clock, so he was

(05:48):
there for a long time and andhe was getting oxygen and hailers and everything.
So you know, it's a lifeor death honestly, like can't you
can't fool around with that stuff.And that's why I just wanted to talk
to you all and the listeners,just to make sure everyone just stays on

(06:11):
top of like cross contamination. Andwhen we spoke to the ballpark, because
I wrote a note and they calledme back and they said they're absolutely going
to take care of it. They'regoing to have training again about food safety
and everything. So I'm so appreciativethat they got back to me immediately and
that they're talking to the staff againbecause they do training often, but they're

(06:33):
going to do another one this week, so I'm happy about that. All
right, Well good, I'm gladit turned out okay, But you're right,
awareness is so important and taking itseriously and not trying to brush it
off like it's like I'll get offpah. Really okay, wrong. Anyway,
