It's not a boot. Not a boot still in a
full cast.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Oh well, you said you called it a walking boot
like ten minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
No, no, well you did say sorry. The no, it's
a walking cast, which I had never heard of before.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
But it's not like like I don't have like a
thing on the bottom.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Of it, like a little nub. Yeah, but there's more.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
There's more like cast part on.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
The heel, so like they it's more substantial.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I gotta tell you. They took the cast off.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
They cut the other one off, so I had like
five minutes out of it.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Oh do you just scratch it? No?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
You know why I didn't because then it would just
keep itching, So I didn't. I didn't scratch it at all,
but I did. I did catch them a little bit
of the bottom of my foot.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Oh dow, that is not good. The dry, unracked, no peeling, disgusting.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Do they clean it for you when you're out of
the cast for a few moments.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Here dip it in this that.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
I felt bad.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I apologized to the to the the woman who was
doing my cast, the doctor, and so I was like, hey,
I'm sorry. I don't know what like I took a
quick glimpse because like when they when they put it on,
you lay on your stomach and I have to bend
my foot up, and then they put like a sleeve
on it, and then they just start wrapping it and
then putting the cast around it right.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
There like a middle school girl writing in her diary
bingo exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
And so I said to her.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I was like, oh, I'm sorry for what you're seeing
down there, and she goes, it's not the worst I've seen.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
So I was like, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
So the smell, oh I bet it's the worst they smelled.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
It is the girl you want to earn a hundred dollars, No,
you want to earn a hundred bucks, not today, Take
your just.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
When you want, I'll give you. I'll give you the
one toe challenge.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
All you have to do is take I don't care
which finger you use, but take your finger and run
it between my pinky toe and my ring toe and
just cradle you know where like the toes all come
together where the foot meets. Just run your finger in there,
just rub it a little bit back and forth, and

(02:25):
then take a whiff the you know what, it's worse
than It's worse than a body farm.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
It is the because last.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Night I was digging some of the because it's all
dead and disgusting and gross. So I was digging that
out of there. Ooh dog, that is nothing good. And
it what.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
I don't know what the worst cheese we've ever smelled is,
but what's going on between my toes is horrific.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Ill worse than a body firm. We weren't even allowed
to go to the body.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Farm, Elliott, beyond that fence for.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
One hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
All you have to do is just get one finger
in there.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Oh god, stop it is.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
It's bad. No, I'm not even lying. And so the
other thing is with the so the new cast.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
The one thing that I do like about it is
that I can like He was like, hey, I don't
know if you've put really much pressure on it as
of late. I was like, well, I cracked through the
bottom of the other cast, and he was like, the So,
I guess I was supposed to be walking around as
much on the other cast as I had been.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Oh, so did you just find that ey yesterday.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
What that I had cracked through the bottom of it? Yeah,
oh yeah, no that I knew.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Oh you knew you had done that.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Oh yeah, So you.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Went in with toothpain and had to tell the dentist.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Oh yeah, I brush all the time. Well you know
what he said.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
He said, the way that it's healing, we can start
putting some pressure on it. And I was like, oh,
and he said a month, he said, have you been
putting pressure on it? And I said yeah, and he
said yeah, no, but I mean like just a little bit,
like like if you're like moving around, you're supporting yourself.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Well, I have to walk to get food, and so.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
I said, well no, not always like Thanksgiving like I was.
I said, I should have been running on it the
So I said, no, I've been like and he's like, well,
it's healing great. So with this walking cast, though, you
can start to put pressure on it. So if you're
gonna if you're gonna walk for distance, use the scooter
or your crutches. If you want to go down and
just use one crutch instead of two, you can do

(04:27):
that also.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
So I was like.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, I said, but I can walk on it, and
he said, yeah, very short distances. Just do what's comfortable.
So I was like, sweet, So I'm walking on it.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
But he didn't define short distance.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, So to me, studio to office is a short distance.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
But you're also carrying your stack of papers right, weighs
a ton, so you're adding to the pressure on your fee.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, but there's there's fatter people that have walked on
crowdcasts before. I will say this though, with the added
with the added and also they change your foot position
a little bit. So I've got there's part of the
cast that's really digging into my ankle, which I hate
the but I'm hoping if this thing loosens up a

(05:12):
little bit or maybe some of the swelling goes down,
that it'll it'll loosen up because around the ankle, man
that hurts.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Come on. Crack.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh if I could crack to one part by my ankle,
I'd be so not where it's broken, but like where
the ankle bone is, Oh my god, would I'd be happy.
I was also really worried that my tattoo is starting
to fade, but it's not that part looks fine.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
The odd because.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
You hadn't seen it in a while. You just forgot
what it looked like.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I haven't seen I guess it was the first time
I've seen my leg in over a month. So youkins skating.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
The tatoos fade?

Speaker 6 (05:47):
Is it more just like that rusty that part of
your leg hasn't seen sun.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
And also right here you could see where my knee
was cut up.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Definitely see that.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It is so.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
And listen, I'm not the first person that's been in
a cast for a long time. The but you know
what I really I was going in yesterday and what
I really wanted him to say was let's put it
into a boot so you can drive. And when he
said yesterday, no, you got about another two and a
half three weeks in a cast, I was like, seriously.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
So after the two and a half three weeks, then
you'll be able to drive or you don't know yet.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
We'll see when we get there, he said, Listen, we
may get to. We may get to. So the nineteenth
is when I go in again. So he said, we'll
see on the nineteenth where we are. He goes, But
the way this thing is healing. Maybe we maybe we
just open up all the rains. So I was like,
I didn't want to ask because I don't want the
bad I've already gotten bad news. Like I was really
hoping for a boot that I could take on and

(06:45):
off and then drive, but I still can't.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Drive for another three weeks and shower the well I'm showering.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
No, but I'm like without putting a yeah, yes, it sucks.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
That is the worst.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
Was it awkward this morning? Did you say goodbye to
Daniel yesterday?

Speaker 4 (07:00):
And hope?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
No, no, no, no, no no, because I didn't know
what it was going to be till after the doctor's appointment.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Oh did Daniel drive you home from the doctor?

Speaker 1 (07:10):
So, because Jackie can't drive, Daniel drove me to the
doctor's appointment and waited for me.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
I hope, Daniels, I'm gonna get a nice Christmas bonus
for all that he's doing for you.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
So I even said like, hey, listen, I don't know
what your schedule is.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I was like, but Jackie, Jackie can't come get me,
and I don't have a right. I could uber home
if you want. He was like, no, I'm Australia. It's Okay,
I'll wait for you.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
So she still can't drive. I thought she could.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
No, she goes in on Monday next Monday, the ninth,
So she goes in then, like she's not supposed to
put any I thought in my head when I heard, like,
you'll walk out of here and be like, all right,
tough enough, let's go.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
But they were like, you'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
But she's she can't put weight on it for until
the ninth And where I walked around, I cracked the
bottom of my cast walking around on it. She is
a perfect patient, so literally she won't get off her
ass and do anything. No, I mean she does like
she she's got She's using a desk chair to slide
around the house.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
It's fun, especially when you get to a carpet.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Hey, why you're on the floor.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Need some help lift assists?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
So she couldn't she get She can't drive either, so
like puts it. Also.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
The other thing is I've got contacts waiting for me
at a doctor's office, but I can't get contacts, so
I have to ask Daniel if we can make a
stop on the way home to pick them up.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
Why don't you just ask Daniel if he can do
it by himself.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Do you know how rude that would be? Oh?

Speaker 4 (08:42):
I think we're beyond that.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Hey, Daniel, while you're out here beyond that, do you
mind going buy the doctor's office and getting my contacts?
I can't do that. He's got a job. His job
isn't running errands for me.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
It sounds like it maybe now.

Speaker 5 (08:58):
Contractually no, but it's playing out now.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
I will say this.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Daniel asked me if I this morning on the ride end,
Daniel said.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Do you like do you like sleeping?

Speaker 3 (09:12):
I do miss it?

Speaker 2 (09:16):
He asked if I like.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Lobster and I was like yeah, and he goes, you know,
mister Elliott, in Peru, we have this and he named
the soup.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
I don't know, chupa come.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
I don't know what it is, but some soup that's
made with like lobster and shrimp. So what I'm hoping
is he's gonna make some and then he'll he'll get
that for me a year.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
Got it.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
He told me that if I ever go to Peru
to visit that he would come with me.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Is it super?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's it? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (09:49):
A seafood stephrim.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well, yeah, but he said that the cameronis in Peru
are this big. Now, I think he was lying a
little bit on the size, but yeah, I think he's
gonna make some.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
For me with shrimp, feta and noodles. Yeah, it sounds great,
looks delicious. Yeah, when he was explaining it, it sounds great.
I'm part Peruvian at this point.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
And now I told him yesterday on the ride home,
I've learned more about Peru from him than I've ever
learned anything in my life.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
So there's some good coming of this.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, Well there'd be something really nice coming if he'll
go get my contacts because I can't see. Well, I
also can't drive a goddamn car, so it doesn't matter.
But I will say this, like being able to like
walk more freely is a huge bonus.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
That is a huge bonus.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
However, it's still not being able to drive and then
knowe knowing I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I mean, I'm done for the end of the year.
Like this is it.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
Yeah, my nineteenth appointment is late. You knew that the
I thought.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I honestly, I really thought i'd.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Be out there yesterday. He was telling me he'd get
to drive to work today. I really thought I was
out yesterday. I thought I was going to get the boot.
It's already been a month. It's been over a month.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
So I thought, you know what, I'll get the boot
and he'll just say take it off to drive and
then put it back on. And I was like, keep
in mind, I drove to Philly and back on a broken.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Right and you probably heard it worse than the I know,
base only didn't make it better, didn't help it.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Did not help it. But so that's it. So that
that's the good news is unhealing.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
The bad news is I still got a long way
to go, Like December can't roll through quick enough just
to get out of this thing. It's such a and
again I'm not being a baby, but it is just
it's just being stuck sucks. Like last night last night,
thank god, one of our friends brought Indian food over,
my friend Natasha, she brought Indian food over, so we

(11:40):
had Indian But it's like I just I just want
to drive and go get like to go.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Like that would make me so happy. Anyway, let's do this.

rint my shirt today? Oh no, I hope not all right,
