Speaker 1 (00:00):
I promise I haven't taken up heroin. It's one more thing.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm before I get to weather or not pregnant Katie
Green is doing heroin, I assume not. I wanted to
just follow up on wrecking on my son's scooter yes day.
And it's not an electric scooter. It's a little push
kind Is there.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
A name for that? You just call him a scooter scooter?
Speaker 2 (00:22):
There's a brand brand, But yeah, he's got it. He's
got a fancy one. Then he does trecks with at
the skateboard park and he's really good on everything like that.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
AnyWho, the skateboarders and the scooter people get a get along.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, okay, good. It's a lesson for all of us,
isn't it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
The the bike crowd not not always. People are going
down on the bowl and their bikes and coming out
and doing flips or spins. Any who, I was riding
my son's scooter back he took off with his friends.
I was riding it back and I was on this
really crappy bike trail that had a lot of grooves
in it, and my front wheel got stuck in a
groove and I flipped over the bars and landed. My
(01:01):
knee went down hard and I bloodied knee. But I
was thinking about because it just rattled my brain. I
mean just jarred my brain. I had an instant headache
for a very long time. What happens to you when
your age? Because when you're a kid, even when you're
twenty five, you hit the ground like that, nothing, it
has no effect on you whatsoever. Does the amount of
(01:24):
juice around your brain go away?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Juice?
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I don't believe that's the technical term brain juice, but
you know, is this.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Something that protects your brain goes away with age? Because
it just rocked my brain. It's just like, oh my god,
the pain of that. And I know because I used
to wreck a lot doing things when I was younger.
You felt nothing, not in the brain anyway, maybe your
elbow or your knee, but not your brain.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
I talked about that years ago the last time I
fell ice skating, because they used to love to ice skate.
But I went skating and I was trying to do
something fancy from back in my hockey days. Entangled by
skates up and ended up falling and like hitting my
head on the ice, and the immediate sensation was that
was different. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I've hit my
(02:12):
head on the ice so many times, That's why I
got this twitch. But uh yeah, it was absolutely different.
My brain wasn't nearly as juicy as it used to be.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
There's got to be a cushion around your brain that
Joe's that like, there's less of it when you get
older or something.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I was going to do a little research on that,
because something's going on there.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah. Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
And if that's what it feels like, now, what's it
feel like when you fall on your eighty five? I
can't imagine.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Oh, try not to, try real hard not to.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I probably won't scooter as much then, But I don't know.
I like doing that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
My wife was riding her bike.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
We were riding bikes together, and she did a turn
and hit an uneven spot that kind of stopped or
tire and she went down bruised or spleen as I
recall it was. It was very close to a very
very serious injury, all right. But yeah, and that was
at super low speed. But it's a crack in the pavement. Yikes.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Okay, Katie, what's to do?
Speaker 4 (03:06):
So?
Speaker 5 (03:06):
I was out Friday for a somewhat urgent medical thing
while all your countries at war, you did not show
up to work.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Go on.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I know, I know.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
I had to do the gestational diabetes test, which is
they have an one hour and a three hour. I
took the one hour a couple of weeks ago, and
I just failed the shit out of it. That was
what the doctor wrote on my chart afterwards. So they
(03:35):
had me do the three hour, which I had to
fast for twelve hours, and then I go into the doctor.
They drop my blood and they give me this drink
that is just awful. It tasted like really thick flat sprite.
Oh yeah, and it has one hundred I think it's
(03:55):
like one hundred milliliters a glucose senat or so it's
just straight sugar. And then when flat straight more than
it was, it was surupy. Oh gosh. So you drink
that and then uh, they take your blood three more
times on the hour ran afterwards, and so I went
(04:19):
in and I am not good with getting my blood drawn.
I It's like I I'd always let them know. I
have to be in one of the chairs that will
let me lean back across.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
There's a chance I'm gonna go down. I haven't for many,
many years, but there's a chance, which.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Is weird because I don't know. It's not the pain.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
No, it's no, it's not no, it's it's deep instinctive
and I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, I see, I knew I was going to get you.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But this I always try to get myself through it
by convinced myself it's not the pain. What I did
wrecking my scooter hurt a million times more. Oh, I'm sure,
then get my blood take in and I don't worry
about that.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
But so I was going into this thinking, Okay, they're
going to do like an ivy line and then they'll
just take the blood from that.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
I'd assumed that was the case.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
So there's one Jabin.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
No, that was a full of jabins, oh nobs for
the same arm in the But you know what, kudos
to the phlebotomists. I had four different ones, no, three
different ones. They all nailed it the first time.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh lord, this is the worst podcast ever.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I know, isn't It isn't awful, But four in the
same arm even.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
During a wait a minute, in no kidding, Even during
all my cancer treatment, I never got jabbed four times
in one day.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Yeah, I think they like jabbing. You tell the truth
Cheney Cheney's Medical Center.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Possibly, Yeah, I think after the third one, I had said,
you jabbed me again, back exactly.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
So they do the first one. That was what it
was like. It was like the first one, baseline. Wait
an hour, They do it again, rent and repeat three
more times.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I would have asked, why didn't you just put a
needle in my because I've had it done that way before,
where they got to do a bunch of stuff. They
didn't put it in the top of your hand, and
then they just get what they got to get when
they got to get it.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I hope people aren't crashing their cars listening to this.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
So is this a special thing you had to do
because of your metabolism or medical history or is it
fairly common?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
No, it's like it's probably probably that option.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
No, it's try to be nicer. Huh.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I don't know if this is a new thing, because
I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I'm not that up on it.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
But all of my friends said, oh, yeah, you have
to do it, and they'll give you that one hour
one which hopefully you pass.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
But if you failed, the ship out of.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It, right, like I did I go big or go home? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (06:57):
So I passed all four though, which is also I
don't understand. So how did I fail the absolute hell
out of the first one and then have four done
and I'm fine? Yeah, but no gestational diabetes? And I
just wanted to say how much I much would have
rathered in so many ways been here and just been
doing the show.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Was this a licensed medical center or somebody's garage? Yeah?
Did you go to Mexico to save money?
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I thought that having to go in like a back
gate was a weird yeah set up, you know, I
know it was a problem.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
When the nurse said the doctor will be in in
a moment, yeah, rare quotes. Yeah that wait, what did
you just do? Oh?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
One more thing?
Speaker 5 (07:38):
I heard the greatest line. This little old guy was
hanging out. He was haad to have been like late eighties,
early nineties. But he's sitting in the waiting room and
the nurse comes out and she's like, hey, Jim, I
recognized your birthday and I remember you from last time.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's so good to see you.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
And he looked at her and without missing a beat,
he goes, well, it's better to be seen than viewed.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh wow, that's I love you. That's a good one. Yeah,
I'll hang on to that for years. That one, but
I admire.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Jeez, Louise, oh good, What the hell dude, Well, I
guess that's it.
