Before you open your mouth, peoplewill need to know that you're not
going to sound like your normal self.
You're on a Yeti mic andnot your normal fancy mic.
It's my unit that usuallyyou're speaking on to.
But just because you're broadcastinglive from the middle of a hurricane,
our Sixth Listeners probably know thatby now, but Maybe if this finds the
internet, the audio is a little bit off.
(00:38):
You're going to have toforgive us for this one.
We'll get back to normal.
Maybe never.
Was it like the movie twister whereyou would like, there was a hurricane.
You put the family in the car andyou drove off and no, we didn't
race away from a physical hurricane.
We just stayed put youshelter in place during it.
But there was a point where I wasthinking to myself, man, what if
a tree comes through our roof?
(00:59):
What are we going to do?
And by the way, if that happened, therewas no getting out, you were just going
to have to bunker down until it was over.
, it was, oh, let's see,four to six hours of.
The worst thing I've ever livedthrough in terms of the storm.
I remember sitting there going whenthe hurricane first hit, it was dark.
It was really dark.
And we had no power obviously,cause the power went out at
(01:20):
four 29 and they told us, expectpower outages, blah, blah, blah.
When the power went out, Iremember sitting there in the
dark, thinking to myself, Lord,please let the light shine again.
I know that sounds really weird,but I was just like, this is the,
I've never been more, Scared?
I don't know if scared's the right word.
(01:41):
I don't live a lot of my lifein fear, but it was scary.
It was like, how can Itake care of my family?
Like for me, I'm like, Heyman, if I go out, I go out.
Sure.
I'll be scared.
But to think about my wife and daughterand then all the people that we love
around us and yeah, it was funny.
I'm going to release one.
I interviewed my niece from the day afterand I have a little pod track recording.
(02:03):
I was able to do it on a battery andI just asked, she's 14 years old.
And she was just super emotional.
She said goodbye to her boyfriend.
We went up and they gave us a can ofgas, a five gallon can of gas to get.
So my brother in law could gethis family to Greenville because
they were almost out of gas.
So that was an incredible actof kindness on their part.
(02:25):
And by the way, siphoning gas is not easy.
I tried and I almost killed myself.
So they got gas.
Drinking little gasoline.
Oh, I love that.
But my niece Kendall,who's the sweetest kid.
Just, she broke down.
She's like, it's just,it's overwhelming her.
She's not gonna see her boyfriendagain for a long, she's 14 in her
world, that's could be forever.
She was planning this big beachtrip with him and his family,
(02:47):
and she was all excited about it.
And now that's gone.
And so, I interviewed her and talkedabout what it was like, and I'll release
that as a show just so people can hear.
Cause we were literally recordingin an empty house with a whole house
generator, charging batteries forour phones because we had no power.
So we had no, the only thingwe had was battery backups.
So we were like running theseall, every battery we had, we were
(03:10):
trying to charge at this house.
So that we could have phone servicein case anything came on or whatever,
lights batteries stuff like that Itwas yeah, so it's really poignant.
It was really i've never seenher that Emotional it was tough.
So that's what it is like to livethrough a hurricane emotional You
know, I think it is every singlething you could possibly think of.
(03:32):
I mean it really is like a deaththere's anger, there's sadness, there's
like acceptance, there's relief.
When one small little thing happens andcomes back, when you hear that the powers
come on in another part of the city, it'slike, Oh my gosh, maybe we'll be next.
So there's this anticipationthat maybe it will work out.
And I'm sure, honestly, I am absolutelypositive that once everything gets back
(03:55):
on, however long that takes months fromnow, a year from now, we'll just look
back and go, Oh, remember when we didn'thave, because our memories, I think our
memories are short because they haveto be, because if we think about, and
we live in that kind of tension it's.
If you can't do it, we got down toCharlotte and as you know, I track
(04:15):
all my food and because I'm, Idon't want to be fat my whole life.
So I try to constantly watch my weight.
And I realized I basicallyhadn't been eating anything.
I started thinking, I waslike, what am I so scared?
So much tension in me thatwe hadn't been eating.
And we had plenty, we hadthe barbecue, everything.
So we're cooking me on steaks,everything you can imagine.
(04:36):
But I just had no appetite.
And when we got here, it was like,I was telling my friend Paul that
it was like a spring uncoiling, likeit felt like I can breathe again.
And I was exhausted.
Both my wife and I took naps becausewe were so tired, just exhausted
from the second thinking about.
All the stuff that couldgo wrong was going wrong.
(04:58):
What are we going to do?
How are we going to work?
How are we going to pay our mortgage?
All this, I mean, just the daily stresses.
And then on top of all that, this stress,I'm like, geez, if I can't work, I can't
make any money and I can't pay my bill.
I was thinking about all thosethings and all the people that
were out there that have that.
And then.
Part of it goes to the point too, whereyou start thinking about your friends.
We have a lot of incredibly generous,wealthy friends and so nothing
(05:21):
against people that are wealthy.
Wow.
No, that's not, I'm notthe one with the money.
No, but I got a lot of wealthy friends.
Okay.
That's definitely no,I'm not bragging there.
So you can call that flex if you want.
I'm simply saying you didn'tlet me finish the point jackass.
Okay.
All right.
It's good to know thatyou're not suffering.
So my point is that.
(05:42):
They have the means to do so much.
And I'm not saying they should give awayall their money and that I'm not saying
any of that, but it's incredible to mehow many people can't even comprehend
what's gone on in the hand to mouth thatpeople are going to struggle through.
I've never been more worried in my life.
Never been more financially worriedin my entire life than I am right now.
I'm just like, I don'tknow what we're gonna do.
(06:03):
And then you have friends that are like,they never worry about anything ever.
And you and I've talked about this.
It's like we have worries and they have,I don't know what they have, but my
point being is it's all very surreal.
If I had to do, I've neverlived through a hurricane.
But I feel like it would behard to describe other than
to say it's really surreal.
(06:24):
Yeah.
And I think that you'realways going to be okay.
And it's always going to be okay.
Today's article is about fear.
I thought it was interesting and I'dlove for you to get into it because I
don't know if we should get into it.
I think we could talk about fear, butI don't think we should do the article.
You don't want to do the article?
No, just fear.
Isn't that what we do?
Smarticle?
We're already 15 minutes in.
I don't know if we need to get tothe We're only seven minutes in.
(06:45):
People are probably tired of hearingabout my fears and the hurricane.
So by this point But maybe this isthe episode that puts us on the map.
They're like Googling North Ashevillehurricane, and then they come to this.
I doubt it.
I think the article we would havetalked about today was about fear.
And she talks about, in one part of it,she talks about Having this phobia of
(07:07):
going on roller coasters, just the normalfears that people face in the world.
And she's got fear of heights,and I thought that was interesting
because I have no fear of heights,but I have fear of being trapped
in like a total claustrophobia.
It's irrational, it's notnormal or whatever, but fear
is not a rational thing.
You can look at something insituation when this is going down,
(07:29):
when this hurricane is hitting, andyou could say, we're going to be
okay, we're going to be all right.
Until you're not.
I just, since we're talkingabout the article now.
No, we're not talking about it.
Just saying that was a point of fear.
It's funny that in this season of.
October.
Halloween.
We pay to get scared.
Like we pay to go to mazes.
(07:50):
We pay to go to not scary mounds.
We pay to be scared.
You literally were just in thescariest moment of your life.
You're like, isn't it funnythat we pay to be scared?
And oh the hell.
I was in a hurricane.
That's the scariest I'veever been in my life.
It's a funny juxtaposition.
You know what I've thought about lately?
I've thought a lot about these soldiersthat come back from Iraq and Afghanistan,
(08:11):
and I'm really grateful to the VA forall the work they've done with PTSD.
And finally we're admittingthat PTSD is a real thing.
Like forever.
It was like, Hey, suck it up, manup, bow up, these guys end up killing
themselves or becoming drug andalcohol addicts in some small way.
I can truly understand.
Again, small way, not trying to equatemyself to dudes that went and saw
(08:31):
their buddies blown up in war, butwar is a moment to moment thing where
you are sitting there in your way.
You could die at any second.
You're in constant fear, andso you got to tamp it down.
If you cannot live in constant fear,you cannot live in a state of fear
or you'll just you'll go insane.
It's just too much.
(08:52):
The body pumps adrenaline when you'reafraid for a good reason so that you're
hypersensitive to what's good, but yourbody, you, like you said, you, your
body can't live 24 hours a day withadrenaline jamming through it, wrecks it.
And it really does wreck it.
I feel, I feel honestly right nowas tired and like sick without
(09:13):
being sick as I've ever been.
I can see why people get.
Sick.
I can see why people getall the things that happen.
Again, I'm sure people listen to this.
They're like, hey, man We lived throughFlorida blah blah blah or we were
in Katrina or blah blah Like in noway saying that other people haven't
gone through this There's lots ofpeople that have gone through this but
this is just my own life experience.
I've never gone through this I wasin Oregon during Loma Prieta, so I
(09:35):
would see all the new stuff, but Ididn't actually live through it Living
through this is the scariest thingI've ever lived through in my life.
And I wish that I could say, you knowme, dude, when it came down to like,
I will go to the Palisades with you.
, I will fight, but there's a certain pointwhere you're like, there ain't no fight.
Mother nature bats last, you'renot winning against this.
And no matter what you do andhow strong you are, how smart you
(09:57):
are, how prepared you are, nothingprepares you for what you've got
to deal with when this stuff hits.
And so I'm like, I don't know.
It's just giving me a wholenew perspective on that.
I'll probably forget.
Two weeks when everything'sback to normal.
I hope not.
I like the scene in the movies,like Brandon fights the hurricane.
You're outside liftinga tree off your house.
I will beat you.
Hurricane.
(10:17):
You won't take me.
It's like that scene in ShawshankRedemption where he climbs through the
sewer line and he comes out in the rainand he's standing there with his arms up.
Hey, for all the things I've talkedabout, how scary they're, it is.
No small thing to say thatit is incredible the acts
of kindness and bravery.
There was a sheriff that died.
He was swept away by thestorm trying to save somebody.
(10:39):
And, that dude got up in the morningthinking he was going to go do
his normal job and working for theBuncombe County Sheriff's department.
And the guy might be a tough daybecause, there's some bad weather and
got the, Hey, they signed up for it, but.
He never signed up.
His family did not sign up for him to beswept away and drowned in a hurricane.
It just, so the fact thatthose people that are out
there, those first responders.
(11:01):
Who are working tirelessly.
I cannot tell you how likesirens go in 24 seven.
I was thinking to myself, where dothese people go to take a break?
Do they have centers where they can go?
I remember the fires out West, thefirefighters out on the line and they'd
come in and they, you'd see them justlike laying all over like airplane
(11:21):
hangers as they're just, they'recovered in soot and ash and they're
just trying to take a break cause theyknow they got to go back out there.
Soldiers that come back from R& R fromthe front lines and get like a week R&
R and I was like, man I guess i've nevertruly appreciated What that means by a
first responder What does that mean whenyou're a doctor that is like I am in it?
(11:45):
And I can't leave because thesepeople need me or they'll die.
Holy cow, dude, it'sthere are no words for it.
I know I've given a lot of words, butthere, I really have done no justice
to the amount of suffering that'sgoing on right now in Asheville.
And I'm just grateful thatthere's some people that are, my
priest from my church texted me.
He's like, Hey dude, we've got water.
If you need anything, comeby and grab it or whatever.
(12:05):
And I'm just like grateful that thereare people out there trying to do stuff.
I think we should rename thesmarticle to like, out of the
hurricane moved it, made it out ofthe hurricane or something like that.
Yeah.
I got to go back into the hurricane.
I think I'm going to head back up there,load my car up and head back up there,
leave my family in Charlotte and headback up because I'm feeling like every
(12:28):
able bodied person that can help shouldgo help because there's people that
They're, we have two elderly seniors thatlive up the hill from us that are stuck.
And I'm like, man, I'd bring achainsaw and just cut them out.
Do what I can.
We'll see what happens.
Guess what?
I live in sunny California.
It's going to be 90 degrees today.
I might have some mousse pate.
(12:50):
I don't know.
Maybe get a nice croissantsand go outside, get a suntan.
Oh, you're living a dream.
Well, Larry, I'm glad that you can enjoyand make jokes at the expense of the
good people of Western North Carolina.
It's it makes my heart sore.
Before you open your mouth, peoplewill need to know that you're not
going to sound like your normal self.
You're on a Yeti mic andnot your normal fancy mic.
It's my unit that usuallyyou're speaking on to.
But just because you're broadcastinglive from the middle of a hurricane,
our Sixth Listeners probably know thatby now, but Maybe if this finds the
internet, the audio is a little bit off.
(00:38):
You're going to have toforgive us for this one.
We'll get back to normal.
Maybe never.

So that's what it is like to livethrough a hurricane emotional You
know, I think it is every singlething you could possibly think of.
(03:32):
I mean it really is like a deaththere's anger, there's sadness, there's
like acceptance, there's relief.

it was like a spring uncoiling, likeit felt like I can breathe again.
And I was exhausted.
Both my wife and I took naps becausewe were so tired, just exhausted

All the stuff that couldgo wrong was going wrong.
(04:58):

I'm simply saying you didn'tlet me finish the point jackass.
Okay.
All right.
It's good to know thatyou're not suffering.
So my point is that.
(05:42):
They have the means to do so much.
And I'm not saying they should give awayall their money and that I'm not saying
any of that, but it's incredible to mehow many people can't even comprehend

Hurricane.
(10:17):
You won't take me.
It's like that scene in ShawshankRedemption where he climbs through the
sewer line and he comes out in the rainand he's standing there with his arms up.
Hey, for all the things I've talkedabout, how scary they're, it is.
No small thing to say thatit is incredible the acts
of kindness and bravery.
There was a sheriff that died.
He was swept away by thestorm trying to save somebody.
(10:39):
And, that dude got up in the morningthinking he was going to go do
his normal job and working for theBuncombe County Sheriff's department.
And the guy might be a tough daybecause, there's some bad weather and
got the, Hey, they signed up for it, but.
He never signed up.
His family did not sign up for him to beswept away and drowned in a hurricane.
It just, so the fact thatthose people that are out
there, those first responders.
(11:01):
Who are working tirelessly.
I cannot tell you how likesirens go in 24 seven.
I was thinking to myself, where dothese people go to take a break?
Do they have centers where they can go?
I remember the fires out West, thefirefighters out on the line and they'd
come in and they, you'd see them justlike laying all over like airplane
(11:21):
hangers as they're just, they'recovered in soot and ash and they're
just trying to take a break cause theyknow they got to go back out there.
Soldiers that come back from R& R fromthe front lines and get like a week R&
R and I was like, man I guess i've nevertruly appreciated What that means by a
first responder What does that mean whenyou're a doctor that is like I am in it?
(11:45):
And I can't leave because thesepeople need me or they'll die.
Holy cow, dude, it'sthere are no words for it.
I know I've given a lot of words, butthere, I really have done no justice
to the amount of suffering that'sgoing on right now in Asheville.
And I'm just grateful thatthere's some people that are, my
priest from my church texted me.
He's like, Hey dude, we've got water.
If you need anything, comeby and grab it or whatever.
(12:05):
And I'm just like grateful that thereare people out there trying to do stuff.
I think we should rename thesmarticle to like, out of the
hurricane moved it, made it out ofthe hurricane or something like that.
Yeah.
I got to go back into the hurricane.
I think I'm going to head back up there,load my car up and head back up there,
leave my family in Charlotte and headback up because I'm feeling like every
(12:28):
able bodied person that can help shouldgo help because there's people that
They're, we have two elderly seniors thatlive up the hill from us that are stuck.
And I'm like, man, I'd bring achainsaw and just cut them out.
Do what I can.
We'll see what happens.
Guess what?
I live in sunny California.
It's going to be 90 degrees today.
I might have some mousse pate.
