Speaker 1 (00:00):
We have heard many times Thor talked about his dad,
big Vic, big Vic something else. He well, he's a
experienced version of Thor would Yeah, they're the same person,
but he's been a round lonker, so he is more
wise in his thoughts. So Big vis a lot. He's

(00:24):
a lot to deal with, He's a lot to hear from.
He's Thor senior, basically. Uh So when Thor says that
yesterday they talk almost every single day on the phone,
that yesterday's phone call was an all timer, I got
to hear what this was about.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
We ain't done yet.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
For the podcast yet, completely uncensored and unfiltered except for
that part the show's after show starts now.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
An all timer? Like, what could that be about?

Speaker 4 (01:04):
So obviously, you know, my parents are retired to live
in Florida, and.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
I called them yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
We don't We hadn't talked in a few days, so
I called him to check in see how they were doing.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
And I called my dad. The answers obviously, and we're
just talking about random stuff. And lately my dad he
needs to lose weight. He's a bigger guy. He needs
to lose weight. And I've been telling him to.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
Take ose empic and he has he has kidney and
pancreous issues, so I guess like there's the stuff there
with ose empic. But like, yeah, so we've asked his
doctor and he's researched it. The doctor has been talking
about it, and he was he had last time I
talked to him, he was gonna do the ozempic. He

(01:44):
didn't care what the doctor said anymore. He was just
gonna do it. But the doctor, the doctor really hadn't
made like a point one way or the other. There's
all because it hasn't really been around long enough to
say he calls this or that, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
So it's gonna risk its crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
I mean, he needs to do something, you know, He's
like he needs to do fifty pounds, so.

Speaker 5 (02:05):
Get to that.

Speaker 6 (02:06):
Yeah, it's like a catch twenty two because ozembic is
meant to help people who are having health issues from
being overweight.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Whether it's he also has diabetes.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
Yeah, so it's like meant for that.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
But you're right, it's kind of that unknown, sketchy thing
with the kidneys and all that.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
So because he also has diabetes.

Speaker 7 (02:22):
So yeah, you'd think you'd be able to take it
no problem.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, but he's got kidney issues and he's fine. He's
I don't know if I said that my dad's cancer
free now knock. Yeah, he's he's out of he's he
He hasn't been on his medicine called Glevac for three
months and he's still testing PCR negative, so there's no
sense there's no sign of cancer in his body.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
So that's awesome. So I'm like, that's great.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
So a lot of the issues he was having with
his kidneys was because of the cancer medicine's on.

Speaker 5 (02:48):
Oh yeah, he's been often now for three months.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
And I guess at one point he had pancrea titus.
I don't remember when he had pancreatitis, but I guess
that happened. He doesn't drink, so I don't know how
he got pacrid types.

Speaker 7 (02:57):
But you can like mess up.

Speaker 6 (02:59):
They thought the boo this once when he was It
turns out he like pulled an oblique.

Speaker 7 (03:03):
But but they.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
Thought opening the laptop probably.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
Yeah, and and but they said you can also get
it from your body having to process like fatty food
and all that.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
So it's not just all his way. So we may
be back for it any day now.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Yeah, so so. So that's one of the things my
dad's worried about.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
So my dad exaggerates things sometimes and like sometimes out
of the blue says things where.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
You're just like, what sounds like somebody else?

Speaker 4 (03:33):
So I said, so, I said, Well, he goes, I
talked to my doctor and the doctor said I can't
do ozic And I go why and he goes. The
doctor said, there was this woman same situation as me.
Oh no, he goes, same situation is me.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Seems like a serious situation.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Come on, he.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
Says, the same situation is me. Uh, and he wouldn't
give her ozembic. She went to another doctor. God, from
the other doctor, they got pancreatitis and died.

Speaker 7 (04:05):
Whoa strange to.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
The point, okay, and they know it was from ozemb I.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
Go, Dad, how does he know that?

Speaker 4 (04:13):
That's such a wild thing to say because his client
she got pancreatitis six months later dead.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
Like what that's a doctor told me?

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Because this doctor followed up on a patient that went
to another doctor.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah, I'm like, that's insane.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
What me and my wife think is the guy's just
had enough and made it up. Because my dad is
always is always calling the doctors and asking him worry
about his blood He worries about his blood work so much.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Anybody else know anybody that does that?

Speaker 7 (04:45):
A little bit of a hypochondria.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Who enjoys going to the doctor, like.

Speaker 6 (04:50):
Much blood work done is again, Oh, this guy like
skips if he can get like an MRI or a
CT scan.

Speaker 7 (04:55):
It's like the highlight of his So he so.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
He so he But I think the doctor finally just
wanted to shut him up. And so then I go,
I go go, okay, Dad, well what are you gonna do?

Speaker 5 (05:05):
You know, how is this? How is this going to go?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
And he goes, well, you know, I've been eating better
and I've been walking. And I go, why don't you
go to the gym because he has a gym membership.
He goes, oh, I know, I got to go back
into the gym, but I have been even better. And
I'm like, all right too, you got to exercise, dad,
And then he goes, no, I've been eating better. And
I go, okay, I know, but you got to exercise,
and he goes, k tell him I've been eating better.
He doesn't believe me, and I go, Dad, no one says,

(05:29):
you're not eating better. So then my mom gets on
the phone and goes, she goes with Tyler my real name,
and she goes, he's been eating better. Tyler, I'm telling
you he's been eating better. I see it. He's not
a lying he's eating better. Because like she just validates everything.
So when he gets mad and I don't believe him,
he has my mom come on the valid But you
weren't disagreeing.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
I wasn't. That's my dad that he needs to be exercising.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
So then the conversation takes turn. My dad's starting seventy
next year. So my dad, remember my parents are retired,
and for my dad's seventieth birthday, he has his heart
set on the whole family going to Turks and Caicos.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
That's a bad trip for the whole family.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
And I thought till next year. Oh okay, it's a
massive trip and it's very expensive.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
So my sister and brother in law have two kids,
and their thing is, you know, it's really expensive because
my dad wants them to bring the kids. Yeah, and
it's really so my brother in law laid out in
this text a month ago saying, hey, it's really expensive
for us if we're gonna do this whole thing for
Turks and Cakos. Why don't we make it a seventieth
birthday for Carrie and Victor, my mom and my dad
because my mom's a year younger than my dad.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
Okay, so I'm like, that.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Sounds great, and then he and then he and then
he laid out a bunch of other places we could go,
and then they didn't respond to the text. So then
I called my dad and I go Mom and said,
what are you guys doing? She goes, well, we're thinking
about things, blah blah blah, because they wait till last
minute for everything. So long story short, I'm on the
phone my dad and my dad says, you know, Corey's
not gonna be able to come to the Turxon Cacos trip.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
And I go, why not?

Speaker 4 (06:55):
And they said he goes because it's too expensive for him,
and and he goes, and my dad goes, it's my
tell me, I'm going to tex to Kikos.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
I want to go turk KOs. I'm going tour Kikos
and I go I want to say. This is when
I start laughing. You're retired, Go any fucking time you want.
It's open it's always open.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
You could always just go to Turks and Cacos whatever
the fuck you want. But we have no money right now.
They just remodeled their kitchen for no reason. They they're
always fucking remodeling their bathroom, their kitchen, they're flooring. Why
why you don't want because they're born, They have nothing
going on and going on. Here's an idea. Go to
fucking Turk and Caicos. You got to you gotta see

(07:35):
this new tile we got. You gotta see it. I
don't have to see it. I don't care. And then
he goes, you know, if you and Haley can't afford
to go to Turks and Caicos, then you go only
for a couple of days.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
I spend a whole week.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's like it's gonna fly all the way tour takeos.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Really And then I go, what about us doing it
for mom? And you? This isn't your mother's birthday, it's
my birthday.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Wait a minute.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
So then he goes and I go, yes, but it
would be for the both of you.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
What your mother gonna do next year? And I'm like,
I don't know that. Maybe you could do something for him?

Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, yeah, like yeah, like it's desert something. It's insane.
So this is what I have to deal with. And
then I go, well, what are you guys doing between
now and November?

Speaker 4 (08:19):
Because you're not going anywhere because November we're going to
meet my sister for Thanksgiving. And he goes, I don't know,
money's tired, we have nothing planned. So you're just gonna
sit in Florida all day and not do anything for
the next five months.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
You know where you could go?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Sense Yeah, wow, this is that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
So this is the conversation we have.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
And I hit the point with my dad where I
love him to death, but I don't even I don't
everything I'm saying I don't bring up anymore because he
just argues with me, and it's just like banging your
head against the wall.

Speaker 7 (08:50):
Wait a minute, anything.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
It just sounds I don't know, familiar to me.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
I mean, like trying to talk to somebody about a subject,
but they just want to because on one.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Part, you know, you can't really convince somebody or.

Speaker 7 (09:04):
Their mindset on something.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Somebody that's always right.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's weird.
