Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, how was Word five last night?

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It was actually a really great show.

Speaker 3 (00:03):
I had actually just.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Saw them just about two and a half weeks ago
at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but to actually see like
a real like like their whole set list was really awesome.
And also I had no idea was their opening night
of their tour, so she was on ten. Yeah, it
was actually a really great show.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
What was it like? You said you were like one
degree of separation from them?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, I actually I feel like when you feel like
you have like a one degree of separation between you
know someone or something, it makes your experience that much
more fun. And my cousin, Shannon, she was actually a
Victoria's Secret model and she dated Adam Levine like twenty
years ago or something like that, and then her best
friend is Maahadi Princeland. She was in their wedding. So
I was just watching him like, Hey, you know my cousin,

(00:42):
that's really cool.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
That's so so trippy to think like she was in
their wedding. But they dated. I know, like the dynamic
there is kind of like wild. Hey they don't care,
I guess I know.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, they were both supermodels, so I guess good for Adam.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
We too have one degree of separation.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I also thought about that I cannot do're not lying.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Speaking of kylein FuG how did you say you pulled
the rich barra?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Oh my gosh, that could mean so many things.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Got driving, I know.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
So we get groceries every weekend, and when we get
the groceries, it's usually me who goes through the refrigerator
and goes, oh, here's all.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
The vegetables that I didn't didn't actually make.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
I had good intentions, so we were gonna eat really healthy,
and now they're like slimy and gross. So I got
awesome out make room, clean out the fridge to put
in the new stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
So as I'm doing this, I'm.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Kind of like just trying to move quickly because you
don't want the groceries that are sitting on the counter
to start getting warm.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Right, you want to get them into the to the fridge.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
So I take everything out, and I go about my
day and I take out, you know, like the things
that are like I saved this. This was a leftover
from dinner and I was originally gonna have it for
lunch and I'm gonna toss that.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
So I put those on the counter and whatever.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Anyways, I do that in the morning, and later in
the evening, Scott comes to me and he goes, hey,
this was supposed to be by dinner tonight. It's like
a couple of like leftover steaks that he had made.
I didn't recognize it. So I'm like, he took him
out of the sink because I hadn't put him in yet.

(02:15):
So he's like, this is supposed to be by dinner.
I was like, they might still be good.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
He's like, they've been send out all day.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
There's no might good.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
And I'm like, immediately I thought, oh my gosh, I
just pulled a rich bear actually, and now thus poor
Scott feels how Stacey feels. And I threw away his
food and it was food he was really looking forward
to eating. I'm like a terrible roommate right now.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's just having me.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yesterday I saw stuff out on the sink that was
like a Mexican food. I'm like, this is probably been
sitting out here all day and I tossed it. She's like,
I literally just pulled that out a minute ago, went
to go wash my hands, and you tossed it.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
I normally don't do that and honestly don't remember taking it.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Out, and he's like, oh, you don't remember taking it out.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Okay, we are going to get back to kitchen injuries.

Speaker 6 (03:01):
You guys hurt your spouse's hearts by throwing with your
food the first.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Megan you got to comment on second ate update good morning.

Speaker 7 (03:08):
Yes, good morning. So normally I don't call in. I
just feel so urged because I don't know why it's
Toby's responsibility to like fix this girl. Like everybody keeps
coming out and I'm like, oh, you should have just
gave her another chance. But I feel like cell phones

(03:29):
is when all of a sudden ghosting became a problem,
because I don't really feel like before cell phones existed,
people really went out of their way to be like, hey,
I don't think this is gonna work. Like you didn't
go to someone's house and be like that date is
just not for me, You're not for me. You just
stopped talking to them. But now that phones exist, all
of a sudden, we're like, oh, the ghosted me. It's no,
it just didn't work, And that's okay.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
We wouldn't have a second We do it every Tuesday.
It's true.

Speaker 7 (03:56):
John I also think about like back before we had
any phone and we were just writing letters, and like
maybe people sent bird to say hey, I think didn't work,
you know, and maybe if your bird didn't come, then
you felt ghosted.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Maybe you are right, so Megan, I think maybe the opposite.
I think because there weren't cell phones, maybe we didn't ghost.
Maybe we ended up going out again a few times
and still knowing it wasn't gonna work, but just out
of obligation, Like well obligation, we got married, just married,
and might as well just get married.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Megan, thank you for calling.

Speaker 7 (04:35):
You're so welcome a great thanks for this thing.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
So yesterday Peyton was talk about how she got hurt cooking. Right,
you burned your arm.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Actually they overheated and then when I moved my arm,
it burned the crap out of my arm.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Becky, you have a kitchen injury.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
I do.

Speaker 8 (04:51):
I was in college and I worked in food service
in Hawaii at Hawaii Lowell College, which was just taken
over by your son's HPU, right, And I was working
and it was they had the big metal vats and
it was full of spaghetti sauce, and then it had
a bracket that held up a pan, and so you

(05:13):
cranked the vat and I was pouring the sauce into
the pan and the bracket broke, and so you know
reflexes as you reach under to try to catch the pan.
But the pan didn't fall off, just the sauce died
and I caught the sauce in my arm and I
was covered in sauce and burned. So they took me

(05:35):
to the emergency room and they thought I was like
a gunshot victim.

Speaker 9 (05:41):
It came.

Speaker 8 (05:42):
It was rather funny because you know, it hurt. I
had icebags and stuff, but they come running and then
they took a with and went, oh, so like.

Speaker 9 (05:52):
Yeah, I had to.

Speaker 8 (05:54):
Sleep with ice bags in my arms.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Thank you, Scottie. What's your kitchen injury?

Speaker 10 (06:01):
Hey, what's up guys? Yeah, so I was. It was
a typical kitchen. It was a typical dinner night. I
was cooking really fast, doing a bunch of different things.
The last one I had was a chicken caesar salad.
I threw the chicken on there and started chopping it up,
and the last cut I cut the tip of my
finger clean off. Yeah, and right right away I went

(06:23):
to the sink. You know, I had known that I
had an injury, and I told my coworker, Hey, that
salad is done, and she just went over there and
scooped it onto the plate and sent it out.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
No salad.

Speaker 10 (06:35):
Oh yeah, I don't know where the tip of my
finger ended up.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Oh it's still gone.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
It's still gone.

Speaker 10 (06:42):
Never came back and it wasn't in the sink. So no,
it was a It was a long process of you know,
trying to keep the blood from stopping food and beverage
director shout out to Troy. He's probably Troy.

Speaker 9 (06:56):
He comes in and he.

Speaker 10 (06:57):
Said, you gotta go to the emergency room.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
So yeah, they probably had to like what does it
cauterize it to stop the bleeding?

Speaker 10 (07:03):
Well, you know, I I was thinking about this this
last since I answered the message, and I can't remember.
I think they put like a like artificial skin or
something over the top of it because there was nothing
to clot, So I don't know. I don't remember exactly
how they fixed it.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
Well, I was trying to figure out was that it
when you like, it didn't grow back or is it
I'm trying to get a visual description to me.

Speaker 10 (07:25):
I feel like almond my fingers. No, if you look
at both my fingers, you can see the slice that
was out of that the left.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
Okay, so someone got your piece of your finger in
the salad and they ate it.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (07:38):
Well, yeah, nobody got sick that night.

Speaker 10 (07:41):
I guess we're good.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Finger was something totally.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Different, Josh, Josh, how did you hurt yourself in the
kitchen cookie injury?

Speaker 1 (07:50):
What do you got?

Speaker 10 (07:51):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (07:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (07:52):
So when I was about eight years old, my mom
had just picked up from school. We got home, I
really wanted my scream, and so she had me. She
has me to wait and I went to wait out
as a patient. So I grabbed a chair, went over
to the kitchen coounter. I had a Mechannibal ice cream
scoop in my hand. So I'm saying on top of

(08:12):
the chair with like the back rest to the back
of me, and I had the ice cream scoop for
whatever reason, against my chin. So my chin was sitting
inside the ice cream scoop. I slipped fell back. My
thumb had freshed a little lever, and I took a
chunk out of my chin, So I had to be
brushed to the e offer stitches ouch that's.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
A pretty severe ice cream scoop. You wouldn't think it
would need to be that lethal to chop ice cream up.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Bruce, good morning. What's your kitchen injury?

Speaker 9 (08:45):
I was cooking in my kitchen with two knives. I
was chopping fire sleeve. Once slipped out of my hand.
It stuck right in my side of my foot. I
had to call nine one one. I was bleeding like
a sieve. Hey, John Jay, I'm the one that shares
the birthday with you on the fourth. You're the one

(09:05):
they had the heart transfer. I'm the one that had
the heart transplant.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Oh man, was last year? Yeah you're doing good?

Speaker 9 (09:12):
Six yeah, six years ago?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Oh wow, amazing.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
But take us back to watching a blade sticking out
of your foot?

Speaker 1 (09:19):
How long do you stare it? Not the heart transplant?

Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yeah, but how long do you stare at that?

Speaker 9 (09:26):
A couple of minutes? Trying to figure out what do
I grab? What do I do? And like I did,
I had touch my hit series, said, called NIKEE one one,
called my girlfriend. Tried to grab grab a towel, hoped
to the chair. Of course, my office chair was right
around the corner. Jump wanted to sit on that and
that rolled out from under me.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, it was like blood.

Speaker 9 (09:46):
I had a blooded blood trace all over the house.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Can I jump back to the heart transplant? So sure,
do you know whose heart you got?

Speaker 9 (09:55):
No, unfortunately they don't. They won't tell you. But I
did write a letter to him. They let you write
a letter to him after a year, So I did
that and that was five years ago.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
And I'm assuming you wrote the letter to the family
right now. Did you get a guy or girl heart?

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Do you know? Do you know what sex it was
at all?

Speaker 9 (10:12):
I'm pretty sure it was a guy because they said
because I was born with a bad heart. It was
three sizes too big, upside down, pumped backwards. Wow, turned around.
Very rare, one of the rarest still in the world.

Speaker 6 (10:25):
And there's a there's a show I'm watching right now.
I was telling Kyle about it. Season one is on Netflix,
is called doc. Season two is on Hulu, and there's
only two episodes out right now. Episode one of season
two is literally about a girl who needs a heart
transplant and she's got these complications and her dad's a
cop and he comes in and brings a gun in

(10:46):
and because they're not going to give her the heart transplant,
and it's so dramatic what they have to go through
to get the heart to her, and then you meet
the family whose heart it belonged to and the decision
they had to make. Do you ever think about that, Bruce,
at all, about the people that the you got to
hurt from?

Speaker 9 (11:02):
Oh yeah, I all the time. I just it was
a it's a hard it's a situation to be in
when you're sitting there thinking about a family that lost
a person.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (11:12):
Yeah, and you're you're you know, I try to put
myself in that position, going, well, you're you're saving lives.
I don't know what else he gave, but I know,
I know he was twenty eight years old, very healthy.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
How do you feel right now? Do you feel completely
one hundred percent normal? Like can you run, can you jog?
Can you do everything?

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (11:34):
Yeah, I'm a truck driver. I delivered and I do
play play sports. I mean I played a bowl a lot.
I mean, wow, did any anything normal?

Speaker 4 (11:43):
Did anything change about your personality? You know, like where
you took on the some of the memories or some
of the bowling.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
The guy who had the heart transplant was a bowler.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, anything like that. It was never totally different because
they say that that stays in, that stays in the organs.

Speaker 9 (11:58):
Right, Yes, there's there are different things. I've just felt like, God,
I've never really liked that before, but try it. Fascinating
it is, it's it's a different transit transposition.

it man, Thanks for listening.
