Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's been so long since I've done this, Like, I
really honestly don't even know where to start. I guess
with the intro it's probably a good place to start.
He's a podcast, just a bit of the.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Contrasts from what I'm used to.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I usually have to talk fast because there's people sharing
the mic.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
But this is just me, so might say whatever I'd like.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It might be serious, sometimes it might be funny sometimes
to scratch.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Your head and say, Ryan is such a tummy bud.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
It's just me.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I ain't got no help.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
This is Brian Crimes, and I'm talking to myselfe Ryan
Grimes said, is my podcast and I'm talking to myself.
It's been a long time since I've done this. Not
talk to myself. I do that on a daily basis.
I mean recorded it and made it into a podcast.
It's been a long time since I've done that, and
(00:52):
I've been meaning to do it. I keep saying I'm
gonna do it, and then I don't do it, and
we won't go through the whole spiel of how busy
I am anymore. I got away from it because my
wife and I started the Relationship Wreck podcast, which we
were doing fairly regularly, but then life happened. We got busy,
and we kept saying we'll do it tomorrow, we'll do
it this day, and we just never did it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
That's our bad for me, it's kind of weird. I
feel like she.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Doesn't like doing it as much as she thought she
might like doing it, and I could be totally off base.
So if she hears this, or if you hear this
and you say, Brian said you didn't like doing it,
first of all, that's not what I said. That's a
problem with radio is you hear one thing and then
you tell somebody something else because you interpreted it a
different way. I'm saying, I don't feel like she loves
it as much as she thought she might, and so
(01:39):
I feel like it's kind of like me forcing her
to do it.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
So even though she.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Might not feel that way, I don't know. In case
she missed that that was eat I don't know. But anyway,
we'll probably get back to it. My son's podcast is
killing it, by the way, Dude problems.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
If you haven't checked that out, you totally should.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Him and his friend Devin another twenty something just trying
to basically figure out what it's like to be alive
when you're twenty something and their podcast is doing farewell.
He actually has people that say, Hey, I listen to
your podcast, and for the first time in a long time,
not it's like, hey, you're Brian's kid.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Hey, you're the guy from Dude Problems, which is pretty
cool for him.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And he works at the radio station now, which is wild,
so many crazy things.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
He's doing the same thing I was.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Doing when I started at the radio station, putting up
tents and doing promotion stuff. And he's already jumped into
the studio and he's been on the air with Chad
and Leslie and he came in here in screen calls
with Johnny's House and he's just trying to learn everything
and just kind of see what he wants to do.
It's what I did when I started radio, And we'll
figure out. He's still at Publics though I've told him
you that's true. Publics is your wife. Radio is your
side piece, at least for now. That's what I told
(02:46):
him to drill that into his brain, because I know
it's fun to talk on the radio and whatnot, but
you know, Publix is your wife, radio your side piece? Well,
if I don't even know when the last dude problems
I did was.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I think it's been since COVID. It has to be.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
It hasn't been four years. COVID is like a time warp.
It makes you forget, like literally everything that happened. But
one of the bragging points that I've always had is
that I'm immune to COVID because I didn't get COVID.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Everyone in the studio around me got COVID.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I didn't get COVID. My son never got COVID, my
wife never got COVID. We just kind of did our thing.
Didn't get COVID. So I always bragged that I was immune.
Johnny used to say I got the tiger blood. Well,
it was kind of like when you were watching the
og Superman and he gave up his power so he
can marry Lois Lane, and he got in a fight
(03:39):
for the first time and he got punched right in
the face and he started bleeding. Superman bled And I
feel like that's what happened this past week because I
tested positive for the COVID.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I rewinded a little bit. It started with my son,
who was fine. One morning. He had actually been to
the station.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
He was doing what he usually does and was in
with Chadd and Leslie and he got a cake.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
He was very excited about this banana cream cake that
he got and he.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Brought it down to the studio. He's like, check out
this cake, and he was very excited about it. He
went home, he did this thing, hung out with his friends,
and then they recorded an episode of their podcast, and
then he said about halfway through the podcast, he started
to feel a little like he was like yuck.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
He said, I felt like I had the chills and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
And I said, eh, that doesn't sound normal, so maybe
just go get a COVID test to be sure.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
He's like, I have a headache.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I feel like I'm just like, oh, all of a sudden,
I'm like, go get a COVID test, just to be sure,
and partially thinking but that way got COVID because where
the Grimes boys, We're immune to COVID. But he went
and got a COVID test, came back positive for the COVID.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I'm like, you some of them a bitch.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So we kind of quarantined him pretty quick, put him
in his room and worked around him, did our thing,
and you know, hopefully nobody catches it.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
His podcast partner Devin didn't catch it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You know, Like I said, I've been in the studio
with people that had it, so I didn't think I
would catch it, and so to be safe.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
You see, that was on Monday. Starting on Wednesday, I
started testing every day. No symptoms or anything.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I just figured, you know what, I'm in a studio
with a bunch of people. Ray's got kids, you know,
Johnny's got a kid that he's got to deal with too,
and he's doing some other stuff, and no Reese has
another job, and like it'd be very careless of me
just to show up every day, like no big deal.
Because my son in the house does have COVID, even
though I'm doing my best to avoid him and we're
sanitized and everything. So he got COVID on Monday. Starting
(05:33):
on Wednesday, I started test testing every day. So I
tested Wednesday, negative tested Thursday, negative tested Friday in the
morning after our show.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
So what I do is I go.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
To CBS go get a COVID test, jam it up
my nose, and then I let it sit while I
drive home, and then by time I get home.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
The results are ready. So Friday, after the show.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Tested negative, but I was feeling like I started to
get congested. But we did the show outside, so you know,
if that's just allergies, because I do have kind of
bad allergies.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
So I'm like, eh, whatever.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Take a nap and I start to feel a little.
I told my wife, I'm feeling a little. I'm gonna
go shut the door, take a long nap.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
And it been a long week. Holiday weeks are crazy
for me.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I have even more work than usual to do because
I have deadlines and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So I'm like, maybe it's because I'm just exhausted.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I've been doing twelve hour days and only sleeping, you know,
four to five hours at night. So I laid down
and I zonked. Boom, I was out. But I woke
up like.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
So late Friday night. I tested positive.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That was a gut punch. When I saw it, I'm like,
this is some this this ain't even fact. These are
I checked the date. I'm like, who made this busted
ass test? Is this like the free government test? Because
this test busted ain't no way. I tested positive for COVID.
Do you know who I am? But no, COVID does
not know who I am. And I did test positive
for COVID, and it wasn't a busted ass government test.
(06:54):
It was one of the many that I bought to
try to keep everybody else from getting COVID. And then
I got the COVID, so luckily I had already locked
myself up. The last time I had seen anybody from
the show, I was still testing negative. So that was good,
although I mean, I get it with COVID, there's so
many weird yes, but and if but but whatever.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Did the best that I could to.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Make sure nobody was around me while I while I
had it, and then I was just in it, and
so it screwed up my labor Day weekend. Also kept
me from spending money, though, which is good because we
were gonna go to Epcot Food and Wine Festival and
you know, would dropped.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
A couple hundred dollars there easily.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
So I you know, I I know COVID was super
serious when it was COVID, like you know, the OG COVID.
This for me was nothing like that, Like I only
had a fever for maybe a block of four or.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Five hours on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
The worst part for me, and I didn't even know
this was a thing, is my eyes were burning so
I looked that up and they said that's like one
of the new symptoms of COVID. It felt like I
was swimming underwater, like salt water with my eyes open.
And this was like for almost a full straight day.
So I was almost awake for twenty four straight hours.
Because there's no relief to that, like you can't do
anything about it. Eyedrops don't work. Eyes open, burn, eyes close, burn.
(08:11):
When you close your eyes, they water, So it was
like it was terrible. That was the worst part for me.
I didn't really deal with too much body aches, none
of that business. I had a little bit of congestion,
but like I have allergies, like I said, so you know,
a snipple on a.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Cough is literally pretty much every day of my life.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So it wasn't as bad as I thought. One thing
I will say that I didn't realize and I know
it's a respiratory thing is though I won't say I
have shortness of breath now, but I have like I
don't have the depth of breath that I used to have.
If I try to take in a deep breath, it
like stops and I get kind of winded, like where
I and I know I'm a lazy ass anyway, but
(08:49):
I'm talking about things that shouldn't get me winded and
got me going, whoa, boy, I need to stop for
a second. Even this morning, I was doing the show
and I like, I do a long you know, commercial
or whatever, and I'm like.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Whoa, let me catch my breath. So, yeah, it's just weird.
It's a weird thing.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And I think I'm more upset that I can no
longer say I'm immune to COVID. I think that hurt
the most, which is crazy talk, because it's a disease
I killed.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Or whatever it is. It is a disease, right, Yeah,
it's a disease, He's Siri, it's COVID, a disease, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well it looks like serious as it's an illness caused
by a virus. See, I know so little about COVID
because I never got it that I didn't even bother
with it. It's a virus, an illness brought on by
a virus which was made where we know.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I didn't even say it. It was good though. For
five days I didn't listen to no political business.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
I played a whole lot of Xbox because I have
a NCAA two thousand and five. I did happen to
win a national championship during that five days with the
University of Miami, so Cocain's I also got to watch
a lot of college football, and let me tell you
it was glorious as a Miami Hurricane. The first two
weeks of college football, immaculate couldn't write a better script. First,
(10:06):
FSU loses to Georgia Tech, who they trashed us all
season four for losing to over in Ireland, so they
traveled halfway across the world to get one of those
fancy imported ls from Ireland, which is nice. Then the
Miami Hurricanes literally curb stopped the Florida Gators, which is
always a good thing.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
And the Hurricanes they look really damn good.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And then to close it all out, Boston College put
a beat down on Florida State to give them their
second loss of the season to make Florida State zero
to two on the season, Florida oh to one with
the loss.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Of the Miami Hurricanes.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And my Miami Hurricanes with potentially the top front runner
for the Heisman Trophy at quarterback sitting at one to
know it was glorious to add even more to that,
I was trapped up in my rooms, so I had
no excuse but to watch college football, and no reason
not to watch college football, which was nice.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I got to watch it.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
All and to throw a little cherry on top of that.
Sunday Hard Rock Bets paid me about six hundred dollars
on two parlays that I only put down forty dollars
on fifteen on one and twenty five on the other.
So yeah, forty dollars on Now, LSU screwed me. If
(11:28):
LSU had to beat USC, I would have got another
sixteen hundred dollars on a twenty five dollars per parlay,
but that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Thanks for nothing, LSU.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I ended up betting forty dollars and I walked
away with six hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It was a glorious college football weekend and I got
to sleep a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
And I tested negative this morning, which if you're listening
to this any other time than today, it's Wednesday morning.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So let's see.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I was laid up for Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
I felt good yesterday, but I was testing positive, so
I couldn't go anywhere and then today, so five days
total that I was kind of kicked in the gut
with COVID and now I'm good. Still got a little
shortness of breath, but I'm testing negative and I'm good.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
So now it's good to be negative.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's what I was telling my wife. Everyone says, I'm
always so negative. Well, for a couple of days I
was positive COVID positive, and it was pretty negative.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But now I'm negative, so I'm good.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So yeah, I'm gonna try to get back to doing
probably short versions of these because I don't have time
to do big, long drawn out versions.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (12:37):

out versions. You got things to do. So we'll get in,
