Winnie, I do have to giveyou a heads up, a little

(01:30):
bit of heads up here. Well, first of all, Friday, I
am not going to be a happycamper when he's very tired. I have
to host host an event Thursday Night, which is you know I've done so
punch for Parkinson's, which is agreat organization. I usually do there once

(01:51):
a year. I do their fightNight, which is in November. It's
not a Sunday. It's a verylong event, but it's great. They
have amazing fights, they raise money, all that stuff. Shout out to
Ryan Roach. But this year he'slike, dude, I want to do
an all females one fight night inApril. Are you down. I'm like,
yeah, of course, I'll dowhatever. So he sent me the

(02:12):
run of show yesterday. Yeah,and it's like late. The last fight
I think is at ten thirty.So you'll announce and then you'll leave.
But you don't watch the last fight, right, No, I think I
do. Yeah, the last fighthappens and then I come out and say
my whatever. Yeah, yeah,it's crazy. So I won't get home
until like eleven eleven thirty. I'llsleep a few hours and then I'll come

(02:37):
in. Wait, no, youwon't get home. The last fight doesn't
start till ten thirty. It startsat ten thirty. It goes. It's
not that long. It's maybe liketen if that I think the rounds.
I think that. I think it'sa minute and a half rounds. You're
in a jet at like ten fivefrom there. Yeah, so it takes
me about thirty five to forty minutesto get home. Yeah, I don't

(03:00):
know where do I park in thegarage? Well? It was Royal right
across from the wilbur Right Diagonal.Yeah, garage garage. Yeah, so
I have to get my car.I'm just in my head. I'm thinking
I'll get home around midnight. Yeah, get to be a bed between twelve
and twelve thirty and be up atthree so I'll sleep. Maybe you're going
to be such a day because it'sFriday's your really busy day and it's my

(03:23):
busy day. So there's a littlebit of heads up. But I do
have good news for you. Whatis that I went to see the doctor
yesterday for my knee. You don'tneed surgery. I do need surgery,
but it is a day surgery andthe recovery time is nothing. Okay,
I can go back to work thenext day. Great, especially because it's

(03:43):
not my driving leg. If itwas my driving leg, that would be
different. But it's a simple kindof day surgery where I can literally walk
out of the hospital on the kneea right, So it's not a big
deal. The only thing is Imight miss the depending on the time I
can get it done. If Ican get that, I'll try to get
an afternoon appointment. Oh my god, you're so good. I mean you
can well, you know, I'lltry. You know what it is,

(04:06):
it's more of a pain in theass to prepare somebody to fill in.
You could really do? Is youcould do like half a show? I
could, Yeah, I could,because the vocal the stuff that you really
need to do is like in thebeginning of the morning. Yeah I could
do that. But you know whatI mean though about like you know,
Riley's been shadowing me obviously, soto lay out everything that I do not

(04:30):
to sound. I can do allthis stuff. It's a lot. Listen.
If you weren't here, I wouldn'tdo half the stuff that I literally
would not know how to do itright, and so it's easier for me
to just come in and do itthan to train Ryley. I mean,
I am training Riley. You're trainingher for general knowledge and then like for
maybe in a year, you knowwhat I mean. Like when we're training

(04:53):
her, like she'll run the boardfor me in like a few weeks,
but like we're doing it for herto general knowledge and to start helping us
out. But we don't for herto be proficient or it's excellent for like
a year or two, that's right, you know, correct? So you
know I have to get an MRI. But they're thinking it's a little bit
of a meniscus tier, which happensusually happens from not only over YOUU swinning,

(05:16):
but from squatting ass to grass meaningbelow ninety degrees. See, here's
the thing in when you when youyes, and what that means is,
you know, yeah, okay,if you're an Olympic weightlifter, right,
but when you go below parallel,right, when you drop below your knees,
there's no added benefit to that.So if you just go to parallel

(05:38):
and back up, you get enoughbenefit. If you go below that,
there's no extra benefit and there's morerisk. It's kind of like ice baths,
okay, ice bass in the SweatHouse kid we had in here,
Nico. He talked about this.Forty five to forty seven degrees is your
is your sweet spot. If yougo below that, you can there's no

(05:58):
added benefit to it. You cando a thirty five degree I used to
do. I do around forty.Yeah, yeah, so I have Yeah,
I keep it around forty degrees.But there's no added benefits. So
you know, I was, youknow, going a little bit crazy.
You know, we get a littlecrazy in the gym. You are no
listen if you guys know obviously guysknow justin If you know him personally,
different story. He is the mostaddictive, addictive personality you can get.

(06:20):
I mean, he's literally your coveringaddict for a reason. But that isn't
all. It's not just like,oh, he found a drug and he
like liked it and he came todo it. No, everything he does
he does addictively, which is canbe really really good or really fucking annoying.
It's really you know what I mean, really you know what I mean.
Imagine being my wife who's also addYeah, but she what I feel

(06:42):
like, she's I know, Iknow Jen personally, and there's a difference
between being a drug addict that Igot hooked on a drug or being someone
that just gets addicted to stuff shedid. She's not really addicted to other
things. No, she has no, she's not as she's like level headed.
Yeah, she's not as extreme asmany. I'm very very extreme.
Like she's chill. You're like,you had to do everything. It's like

(07:04):
either he doesn't do it or hedoes it to the tenth degree. You
know. What I did is isI turned my addictions into positive things the
gym. Yeah, but not allof them have been positive. No,
not all food addiction, no,no, no, I know, but
yes. But what I'm saying isthat I literally literally turned to the gym

(07:26):
and then gym, which is great, you know, but it's not great
when my knees blown out. Youknow what it is is. So I
have a coach, okay, nutritioncoach and Johnson Justin and so I've been
working with him for about a littlebit over a year, and so we've
been cutting and trying to get thisbody. But you know, when you're
lifting and you're trying to get ridof fat and build muscle. It's called
a recomp right. When he so, I've been steadily kind of losing weight.

(07:50):
Then i'd stall and so back inJanuary, He's like, listen,
I want to add food called bulking. So add food and then you know
you're gonna put on size and thenwe're gonna cut down and you're gonna like
what you see. Right. Sofor the past eight weeks he's been adding
food, a lot of food.So I think what happened was because I

(08:11):
was eating all this food, no, I was stronger, and so I
was pushing myself more. And whathappens is, yes, your muscles are
fuller and you do feel stronger,but you have these things in your body,
whinny. They're called joints and ligamentsand tendons, which are not like
muscles. They don't get bigger andstronger. I mean, you can strengthen

(08:31):
them, but you know what Imean. Right, So that's what I
think a lot of my problems becauseI am having hit problems and it's just
a mess. But I was withthe boys yesterday and we did we did
the left with the bull chest.Yeah, zeb and yeah, I haven't
keep it in a minute. Yeah, he's just the man. He really
is, like he's he's wacky andstuff. I mean, obviously you can

(08:52):
tell that by his Instagram. Yeah, but he really is like the best
friend you would ever want to have. Also the person that if the world
ends, when he you go tohis house, you want him leading you.
He is a leader. One time, one time we went down.
We used to do this guy's tripevery year, we'd go to Socco and
we'd do a rafting white water raftnot rafting, but like floating down the

(09:13):
Socco River. So we all wentand we all have our tubes. Okay,
so we start floating down and wouldn'tyou there's like ten of us.
We stumble upon these three girls whowere bigger. Well they were they were
very large Okay, okay, theywere they were they were bigger, yeah,
and and they were they got stuckin a in a fallen tree that

(09:35):
was in the river. They saidthey weren't paying attention. They were floating
down and there was this massive treein the way. Instead of going around
it, they went into it.And so there's two They were legit stuck,
but they weren't hurt. Right,they weren't hurt, but they couldn't.
They couldn't. They were like stuckin the tube that was intertwined with
the tree. So we come floatingdown the ten of us guys and and

(09:58):
and and they're like the girl's likehelp, can you help? Help?
Who comes to the rescue? Okay, zeb runs before we can even do
anything. Legit pulls all three ofthem out by himself, by himself,
freeze them. And then you thinkit was like a thousand pounds of girl.
It was a lot, man,it was Okay, you're saying that

(10:18):
they were probably at least three hundred. They were pretty big, you know,
nice girls. So he pulled onethousand pounds of girls. Yeah,
one of the time he freed them. He freed not at the same time.
He freed them and like like ahero. You know, I love
that. He's a really good guy. He's cookie though, very cookie,
very cookie. All right, Sowhat else? What else you did prepare

(10:39):
me for? That's it? That'sit. I'll be tired Friday, hopefully
won't miss any if any, notmuch. If anytime, it's gonna take
time. I have to get iton my ri Then schedule the thing you
should do during mortifications in the summer. I said the same thing. That's
what I did. I had thesame thing done on my other knee like
five years ago, and I hadit during our August vacation. I tried

(11:01):
to bring that issue up to Jen. She wasn't having it because our big
ten year anniversary vacation in July isan I know, but it's too close,
she said, it's too close.She can't risk me not being able
to fucking perform at a high levelin a room. But come August,
she's worried about No. No,no, just not no no, no.
I mean show up and walk around. Do you think you're gonna do

(11:22):

know, before summer. I wantto do it as soon as possible.
Like I said, it's not abig surgery. It's not They're gonna go
in there and they're gonna clean upthe miniscus. I'll be fine. I
can walk, you know, weshould do I can walk out of the
hospital with no no prob We shoulddo what you should do it if you
can the day I'm out, andthen we should just do a pre recorded
show on that Friday and we'll takethat. Good. I think that's a

(11:46):
good I did, don't you.Wow? Okay, sorry, yeah,
I had this. I had this. When you start dealing with like health
insurance, yeah, it's the worst. I just ever you. I just
try to go to the doctor atleast as possible. It's really sad.
It's really sad. I went toso where I live. I live in
Salem. My main hot doctor isin Haver where I used to live.

(12:11):
But they built a brand new massGeneral in Tuscan Village. Okay, so
they're all they're all connected. SoI call about my hip, Like like
a month ago. I called Tuscanand I go, could I come see
you guys there? I live inSalem. They say, yeah, no
problem. I go there, Isee the doc. The doc's like,
yeah, everything looks fine. Letme get an MRI, just to be
safe. So I go there,get the MRI. No problem, I

(12:33):
get it done. I get theresults the next day. Everything looks good.
That's it. I get a callfrom my insurance company and they're like,
yeah, they weren't supposed to dothat, and they weren't. They
were supposed to wait for approval andthey didn't and I'm like, well,
why wouldn't they tell me? Theysaid it's supposed to they said, So
what you need to do is whenthey try to bill you, which they
did at six hundred dollars, youneed to tell them that you talked to

(12:56):
us and that we said they submittedthe request and they they they're supposed to
wait for approval before doing the MRand they didn't. So you usually negotiate
with you. I just got amessage here. I was just on the
phone. I was just reading thetranscript and says, Hi, this is
whatever whatever. So all I seeis this ready. All I see is

(13:18):
you have to pay the entire thing, of course, and you're not going
to pay it. Actually I willbecause I'm going to pay. So there
are other things that I had topay for that I'm on a payment plan,
So they take out like twenty fivedollars a month from my check.
Whatever. I don't know. Anyway, that's it. My daughter hated hated

(13:41):
daycare this morning, no fucking scene. Why what happened? Because when they
went yesterday shey, Yeah, soJen essentially tricked her, but not on
purpose because it's at it's at achurch. Those Yeah, so we brought
her on Easter to the service andso she could go to the daycare part

(14:03):
during the service to get her head'sup. So she went down there.
She no, she didn't think thatmy wife was gonna leave, because what
happened was she had gone down tothe daycare. She was fine, but
then she started to realize no onewas around anymore, and she started crying
for like Abel, and so Abelwas down there in a different part.
So then they said, oh,we'll go get your brother. So they

(14:24):
brought Abel up and she was okay. So yesterday when she went, she
brought her and she goes, Jemmy, you want to play. So Jemma
started playing with other toys whatever,and then uh, and then Jen said
to her, okay, Gemma,give hugs, give me hugs, and
so Jim hugged the teacher. Shethought that she was leaving with Jen,
you know what I mean. Sothen she hugs the teacher and then she
keeps playing and then Jen's like,what should I do? And the teacher

(14:46):
said, you got to rip theband aid off, just just leave.
So she just turned around and leftand as she's walking out, she hears
Jemma go mo more more and yousaid that. Then the Jen texted us
that she was fine. Yeah,but they posted pictures of her and her
eyes are all poffee, you know. And then when Jim picked her up
yesterday, she walked in and shewas screaming hysterically. So that's I don't

(15:09):
know. If she's screaming the entirefour hours, I don't know, But
she texted me this morning. Itwas not not they had to rip her
from her arms. Yeah, wellyou got it's gonna take a couple of
days, it is. Yeah.Yeah, we went through it with Abel
and it was much worse. Yeah. And by the way, that daycare,
which I'm very appreciative of, andI think it's a fantastic place.
They should be thanking me that they'regetting Gemma and not able. Okay,

(15:33):
the last day care that got ablethat was the poor people. Well you
know what happened. I have this. I don't know if this is true
or not. Jen Jen thinks itis. That has a theory. So
he went to daycare right and hadlittle to no problems. We've got no
complaints from the teacher. He wasthe best kid ever. Yeah. Well,

(15:54):
well yeah, we didn't think so. So we were always like like
bewildered by that. But then we'dalways say to ourself, well, if
he's good in daycare, you know, it's at least he's good there.
Yeah, he's semi good at home. And then he went to school to
kindergarten, and it was like reallyreally bad at first, like really bad.
We do a lot of work andall that. He's good now.
But we said to ourselves, howcome we got no complaints for two or

(16:18):
three years and then the first weekwe're getting complaints. It must be the
transition whatever. And then Jen saidno, So the people that work there,
who are lovely people at Abel's daycare, were listeners of the show.
They didn't want to say anything.That's what Jen thinks. She thinks that
he was acting up there, butthey kind of gave him a pass and
worked with him more as opposed toanother kid who they might have called their

(16:40):
parents. I don't know if that'strue. And that's too bad if that's
true, Like they should be honestlike you, like, yeah, they
felt bad because they know they hecan't handle anymore of it. Yeah,
it's it's it's a funny thing.How about one of Abel's teachers keeps asking
for kiss concert tickets. Hey,can you tell you dad that I want
kiss? That's a little wit likethat. She's joking, but you know

(17:02):
she's not. Yeah, maybe I'llgrow up. We'll see in your allotment.
By the way, what allotment kids? Concert tickets? We did?
Okay? What are you doing withall them? I will I don't know,
distribute, distribute it. I havelike distribute. No one that loves
me wants to go. I think, oh he almost said the name name.
What are you going to say?Was it? Katie? Okay?

(17:26):
I have a cousin, Katy.You should want to go. Yeah?
All right, Well, thanks forbeing here. We yapped it up for
eighteen minutes. I don't even knowwhat we've talked about. We talked about
me. That's it. Yeah,you know I did you want to add
anything? You know what you wantto add? All right? Tomorrow?
No podcast tomorrow? Whennie? What'sgoing tomorrow is a crazy day? I

(17:48):
don't want to do. I havethe hosting thing. We have two tours,
fucking two tours pizza? Right?I did he say anything about that?
If so, I have to callthe guy pizza. I'm assuming he's
gonna want to do that. Yeah, two tours you anticipate. You know,
he's gonna say to mom, weneed pizza. So maybe it arranged
that today the two tours, orat least one of them is from COVID.

(18:11):
Oh no, we didn't do toursfor two three years, I say
during COVID. Yeah, that's good. They're supposed to come in and then
when they shut everything down, wecanceled four years ago I know. So
they're just starting to come back andsay, hey, can we have that
tour, so we have to doublebook. So most likely no podcast tomorrow,
so we're sorry. But anyway,thanks for being here. Thanks Winny,
