Speaker 2 (01:41):
The clown.

looking mood salt called no laughing Matter.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Hey, it's amazing how stuff be popping up in your
head that you basically all but forgot.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, computer Broye.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Uh So this week, uh we're talking about we're basically like, honestly,
man like all the black men that listened to this program,
pull up a chair man like we were talking to
us this week. This is going to be a I
don't want to call it an intervention, but a a
therapy type session where we have to like communicate ah,
(02:58):
our strategies to stay here longer. And by staying here longer,
I'm meaning Planet Earth because I don't think that black
men in general do a good job of taking.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Care of themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And I'm one of the first people to raise my
hand and say I don't do a good job taking
care of myself. Every single time I bump into our
good friend Brian sab Ryan asked me if I set
the appointment to the doctor that he gave me the
name of yet just to get a check up every
time I see him.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
He asked me that, And I ain't said that appointment.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
What's the less time you got adopt disappointment?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
When I was having health problems with my back. So
that's about fourteen years ago, about about twelve thirteen fourteen
some place I have been there.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
See, sab is the kind of brother that all of
us brothers need to get everybody else to be intent
about our intentions. That's the type of people you need
in your circle in this day and age.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah, don't even say that back I had I had
I had gotten sick. I had some kind of cold,
but this was like twenty twelve, and they said it
was like a viral infection, but it was a it
was like a cold that wouldn't go away.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Don't we looking at me?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But it was like they gave me some some.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Lead and and I took that lead and it outed
right on out man.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, that purple lean.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah you know, like uh, I know, like uh, it
caused me to have ants, Like it's just sitting there
on the counter. I guess the ADS was trying to
get to yeah, uh yeah, man, But that's that's the
last time I went to see and seeing the doctor.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Man, I need to.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Go because I was hitting the mid forties and stuff
and this time to start worrying about the cold lett
and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Man. Oh yeah, like I've been throwing that. Yeah. I'm
thankful for some of the people I've had in my life, man,
who have encouraged me to to be better. At one point,
I was just one of those guys who felt like
it ain't nothing wrong with me. I feel good, it
ain't nothing wrong with me. But it's psycho or going
on inside that we're not aware of, you know, like
(05:13):
sometimes you don't know that the belt on your car
is freed, and you just drive it and drive it
into it blow. You don't want to play with your
own health like that. You know. It's something that doctors
people who are trained that could advise you on and
I know there are a lot of people who are
big on holistics and things of that nature. I'm not
knocking that. I'm just saying, at least go visit someone
(05:34):
who's been to school for sixteen twenty years and has
learned to trade or something in particular that can guide
you in the right direction even if you decide to
go with another option. Just to be aware. That's all
I'm asking my men to do, and just everybody in general.
And with that being said, also, Man, I just wander
before we dive into things this week, and I'm not
(05:55):
sure when this show is going to actually record, but
I just want to shout out the Hemuway family. One
of my brothers I grew up with man passed away recently,
and I'm not sure if the extent of what he
was going on, but when I understand he had an
aneurysm and this big ups to King and the family, Man,
Jimmy and everybody everybody back home, you know, North Myrtle
(06:15):
Beach area. Man, we had a stand up guy, you know,
always doing this thing in the neighborhood, and he actually
moved his way up the ranks in the Oory County
Police Department. So I just want to say I salute
to this brother, man. And again that's what we're going
to dive into the day. It's just about taking care
of yourselves in general.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I have much love to his family.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Like, sorry to hear that, bro.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yeah yeah, let's saw you had posted it on Facebook
the other day.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah that thing boy that jumped crazy. Man, it just
crash a brother forty eight years old. Man, you know
what I'm saying. We at that age now where it's
like it's the dude you could have been talking to
yesterday and they When we were younger, it was like
it was just older people and that's how it was
supposed to be. And now where those older people. Man,
And it's again, it's up to us. Like I said,
(07:01):
I'm probably gonna say this one hundred times in the show,
but we have to be intent about our intentions and
let's thrive and try to be here for our kids
and their kids. Even so.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, and that's the thing, man.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I think that when we were in our twenties, even
our thirties, I think that when we heard about somebody
in our age group passing away, it was something something
violent happened to them. They were in a car accident
or something like that, and it was rare that there
was somebody like had some kind of like you know,
(07:30):
legitimate health problem.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Or something that took them out.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
But like now, like you know, we hear about people,
you know, getting some disease or some other health ailment.
And I know people who went to sleep and never
woke up again that were in our age group, man,
and and like you know, didn't even know anything was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So like, uh, that's what we want to talk about today.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Man. We want to talk about, like, you know, taking
care of yourself, eating healthy, getting the proper exercise and
you know, taking care of good mental health and all
of that type of stuff. Man. All of the music
is about uh being in a happy space, being good,
you know what I mean, Like, uh, taking care of
yourself and everything.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Man.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Back on to Good Old Boys Forecast Media Radio Network
talking about being healthy. So we we we alluded to
it a little bit earlier. Why do black men refuse
to go to the doctor. Because I can tell you,
like you know, my my the people of the men
(08:37):
in my family, the older men in my family, they
they didn't like going to the doctor and then until
they got you know, of age, Troy, I mean Trump
and uh uh so like uh what what what?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
What?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
What were your experiences? What have you seen from older
men of your family?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
No, I mean yeah, I could vouch for the same
thing with a lot of men in my family. I
mean I think they're doing a better job now than
they did like years ago. Like my grandfather, like he has,
like my mom and some of my other cousins, that's
always you know, pleading for him to, you know, go
get a check up. Like there was one time he
(09:16):
had like this huge bump on the back of his head,
and of course we're concerned that it's potentially cancerous and
he's just like it's no big deal, and we're like, dude,
we want you here find out what's going on. I
think that's the problem with a lot of I guess
we all say black men, but I just think black
people in general, they want to self diagnose everything, when
(09:36):
to me, there's no excuse not to make an appointment.
We have access to doctors now more than ever. People
that look like us in the medical profession, you know
that are here to help us. But instead you want
to listen to what somebody else told you, and they're
not professionally inclined to offer that sort of wisdom. And
(10:00):
there's the fact that everything is connected. If you have
a toothache, it could be connected to heart problems. If
you have sleep apnea, that could be tie to heart problems.
Like it's always a bunch of little things that leads
to something catastrophic, and people just want to ignore it
and take a talent all.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I think everything's will be cool.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, I think you said a key thing there as
far as we have progressed when it comes to healthcare
a lot, but you said something key as far as
having access. I think that's the fear. Not necessarily the fear,
but the reason a lot of us don't go is
because we don't have the financial means. A lot of
(10:41):
us don't have insurance or feel we're out here living
check to check, and it's other things that are higher
up on the priority that they feel, Okay, I need
to keep these lights on, I need to keep food
in the house versus taking care of my health. When
it's to them, that's like something that can be pushed off,
and it shouldn't be. They shouldn't feel like at first
and foremost, I mean, you got Canadians who have free
(11:03):
health care. We got so many things that we can
do within our country to help our people, but yet
we still have people feeling like they're stressed in regards
to just living day to day. And it's just again,
I was one of those people. I can't. I can't
sit here now like I'm better than anybody. It's just hey,
I was checked to check for a long time and
I was like, forget these benefits. Man, why am I
(11:24):
paying for this? If I can use this money to
take care of this debt, to do this and try
to better myself. But what's the use and better in
yourself if you ain't gonna be here to reap the
benefits of it. So I think again we have to
attack that issue and get to the bottom line as
to why for what we can do as a people
to have better health care so that people who feel
(11:45):
like they're less fortunate can get to these doctors, like
you said, because it's a lot of them. They're catering
to us now more so than they did in the
past with tests that were running was catered or done
with a lot of Caucasian folks. And that medicine wasn't
meant for us. So again it's it's definitely better for
us now to at least get out there if we're
able to. And I suggest people put mon put five
(12:06):
dollars in a jar, you know, do whatever you can,
just to say, hey, at least once a year, go
get a check up, even if it's once a year,
find out what's going on with yourself. You know.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yeah, I don't think it's I don't think money can
no longer be used as a reason to not go
visit a doctor.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Because if you.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Die and you don't have insurance, the funeral is more
than you going to the doctor. So you're going to
put a burden on your family anyway, So you might
as well go see a doctor because we want you
here more than anything, like you're healthy, more important.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
But you can't say that money isn't a burden dog
like you know, like I know a lot of poor
people have it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
They're not gonna have money for their own funeral.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, but got money, but they don't have money to
go and get the healthcare either.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
So so either either or you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah like that, Yeah, hey, it comes out.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
But you can go to urgent care. You can go
to urgent care.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It comes out of your podcast right out. I've done that,
and it's like hundreds of dollars. It costs a regular doctor, right,
So it's a whole lot wanted it. It's the preventative.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Urgent care is like the seven eleven convenience store when
it comes to things you know that's right at night. Yeah,
they'll help you. Yeah, but you're gonna come out of pocket.
You go to the seven eleven, you're gonna spend five
know how a two liter bottle of coat.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
That's about to say, like like some some uh takes
his pet hot sauce bottle, it's like eight dollars or
that buff.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You can get six of them at the Food Lion,
you know, during regular hours. So that's the comparison there.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So I mean, I hear what you're saying, though, like
like you shouldn't use it as an excuse and you
should still like just let the bills pile up and
stuff so you can stay healthy and then you will
work yourself to death paid for all of that stuff
as well because of America, like you.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Said, yeah, like you was saying, also, them bills gonna
still be there. You you can go sixty ninety days
one hundred and twenty days delinquent and put your health
on the top of that priority list and try to
balance things out over time. But because again it's only
a debt, your life is what matters the most, Your
health is what matters the most.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Well, I don't think I don't think it's that's all
IM saying. I don't think it's some money thing. I
think people are afraid to find out the truth about themselves.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Sometimes want to know.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
They don't want to know what ailments they have and
what changes they'll need to make, because they're not willing
to make those change.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I can't agree with that.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But I also think that like the medical industry in
itself has put themselves themselves in a bad light with
the Black community. And this goes back for years the
Tuskegee Syphilist experiments, and you know, like I think that
there's a mistrust, a distrust within the black community in itself,
(14:51):
in particularly with black men, because those, like the Simplist experiments,
was solely black men, and it went on for decades
before it was discovering what was happening. So it kind
of makes us kind of like a little bit distrustful
of the industry. And I can speak for myself, man,
like you know, like I've always like done a ton
(15:14):
of research before I even go in the doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Man.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And then like something else negative happened. I had another
negative experiment experienced when like this is prior to me
having bank surgery, and I was I said, you know what,
i'ma start going to the doctor. I think I was
like thirty something years old, and I said, I'm gonna
start going to the doctor every year having physical went
to the doctor, had like I said, okay, you my
new family dollar all right, went there, did blood work
(15:40):
and stuff. Say hey, you got a problem with your liver.
I need to send you over to this ultrasound people
so they could take a look at your liver. Went
over there, got that done. They saying they can't see
any abn malage. Need to send you to the specialist.
I never went to the specialists, right, And I said,
you know what, let me let me let me see
(16:01):
how this state plays out of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Fast forward a couple of years, I go to have surgery.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
When I started going to the orthopedic surgeon and stuff,
and they did you know, blood work and stuff for
me and stuff then and I asked like, so, like,
there's no problem with my liver, and You're like, what
are you talking about? And I was like, well, you know,
I had a doctor say I had a problem with
my liver and he's like, oh see, the the didn't
like that, Like you know, I'm aloud to say that
they lied, but maybe they lied. The doctor told me that,
(16:28):
you know what I'm saying, So that that happens, Yeah,
that kind of scared me.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Man. You got you got fresh people that are just
getting into the in the industry, just like any other job,
you know.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Or people who want to get their friend's money by
going to get the ultrasound part.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But but again it's like it's it's a learning curve still,
but we hold them so accountable because they're doctors. When
that's what they say, get a second opinion. You know,
you coulda you could have just went to another doctor
to be like, hey, I just been advised of something
going on. Just wanted to make sure that, you know,
just a big panel run, you know what I'm saying,
not even the give them their heads up of what
they're looking for. Just give me a panel, so I
(17:03):
can know what's going on because I've been advised to something,
I just want to double check before I move forward.
So it's just we hope we put so much weight
on the doctors in that aspect. But to what Trump
was saying earlier, in the sense that like, for example,
like I had my grandfather, you know, pass away, you
had diabetes. I had another grandmother, great grandmother who had Alzheimer's,
(17:26):
and my grandmother had early stages of dementia. Then it
would be like me being afraid to go to the
doctor because of what transpired with them when it's clearly
something that's genetic. Possibly you know, it could be it
could something skipping a generation. I need to go get
checked for that. So like folks who have people with
(17:46):
cancer's issues and things of that nature, you shouldn't be
afraid because of what you saw happened to your loved one.
You need to get checked out to verify to make
sure that you're not on that same trajectory and the
same thing happens that you and you move this on
to your kids, and it's just the cycle continues, like
and I even know like far as with us as
me and you know, some of these the testings keep
(18:09):
us leary of even going like you were saying, Mario,
like like I'm at that point, I gotta go get
the prostate joint. Man, It's gotta be another way to
get this prostage check, you know what I'm saying. But
I know it's gotta get done. And I'm thankful that
I had my colonoscopy two years ago. You know, they
they got a couple of polyps out of there, and
it was just like, I'm glad I went and got
that taken care of because otherwise it could have developed
(18:32):
into something else. So it's just I gotta go back
in three years, you know what I'm saying. So it's
just staying on top of these things.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You can't be afraid because of what you saw. You
can only break the cycle.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
And I just I just strongly urge everybody. Man, that's
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Yeah, I think like we can't underscore how important it
is to know your family, no family history, know who
your parents are, no know the hereditary problems that they've
they've received from their parents and the generation before that,
(19:11):
because it trickles down to you. So if if you're
in a situation where you don't you've never met your family,
then yeah, you're you're at a disadvantage because you have
no clue what you could be experiencing that you should have,
you should have or could have known about well in advance.
Because families are split up. Yeah, you're not aware of
(19:33):
these things.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That's a fact.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And I'm hopeful I do a lot a lot of
a lot of men also in our families, Man, they
will go through things and and it's either out of
shame or they just don't want people giving them sympathy
or or anything of that nature, or being empathetic towards
them or anything because of what they're going through, so
they don't tell us. And sometimes we find out things
(19:58):
just by ear hustling within the family. I'm thankful that
i have a huge family, and I'm thankful that we
all discuss things that are affecting each other. But even
I'm looking at some of my uncles now, and people
just wait till that last minute until they're in the
hospital and they're trying to get better and they're fighting
against time and all of these other things that have
piled up over time. So staying on top of it, man.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
We're gonna come back and we're going to talk about
what you gotta do to fix your diet. Back on
the go to Ole Boards, Forecast Media Radio Network. We're
talking about being healthy now. Some of us don't know
how to push back from that plate. Some of us
is hot, grease, some of us is me. I like
(20:46):
some good food, boy, and I will say that, like,
my diet has been shifting a lot as I've aged.
I don't care as much for like fried food and
stuff like that the way that I probably used to
eat it back in the day. I like a good sandwich,
you know what I'm saying. I like a good salad now.
And when I say it's salad, I'm not talking about
the way somebody all be making y'all salads.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
We all be loaded that bad boy with cheese and
rash dressing and and and and all the meat in
the world. And that's not a healthy salad. That's a salad.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Though. Don't be knocking me, hey, Like my daughter tells me,
you know tomorrow, I used to be big on the garden.
I mean the seeds are salad. That's not a salad.
I have no no tomatoes, no egg, no nothing on it.
Just y seeds of baby.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Give me some crew times, right, I will say, I
go to Harris Teeter and I do this like pretty regularly,
and I get like a salad with some kaloe mixed
up with some iceberg lettuce, and I give you some
like broccoli and some carrots. Put on that bad boy,
some onions, some bell pepper, a little bit of boy
egg man. You know what I'm saying, Like you gotta
(21:53):
you gotta eat it healthy sometime out though.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Hey everything, Yeah, what's home with a boy dag? The
boy day is setting it off. Bro Listen, right here

Speaker 2 (22:15):
The garden chef salad, oh yes, with the with the
with the taco shell bro oh my god.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Don't don't go to the water on Freedom Drive though,
because I was in there one time.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
But the dude had on some basketball shorts and the
gat was hanging out the shorts.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh gosh, it looknfol.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And go off like really.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
But like my favorite salad, like I make it myself.
It's either spinach or spring mix. With roasted pecans, strawberries, blueberries,
goat cheese and in the raspberry vinegarette dressing.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
This is healthy and it's got your berries and rights
give you that texture of the crunch to it.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I like the market salad from Chick fil A because
like it's like got fruit in and and stuff man,
And then you can put your little almonds on top
of it and stuff. Man.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's like banging man like. And it's only like five
hundred calories once you put the dressing on it and
stuff man. So like it's a good little lunch.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Beal right there many I mean even just the fruit salad,
you know what I'm saying, the actual the salad salad,
the lettuce or whatever. You know what I'm saying, the
fruit salad. That's me getting healthier because I gotta throw
my ranch on there. I sprinkle a little cheese on salads,
you know, but it's my mom cheese. I need to
cut back on the ranch. But I have cut down.
I used to like just drowned.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You ball need to call our friend Thomas. Does he
put ranch on everything?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Man?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
But I see that boy put ranch on rice.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Somebody need to somebody needs to down lock them up
for that.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, but I think I think as we do get
older though, like you know, you start realizing that, you
know again just listening to older people talk like now
I'm about two months in on not even any red meat.
Do I love it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Word man?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And I love a steak. Also, I absolutely love a state,
you know, a good old Melbourne from from out back,
a nice side state and just anyway, I'm not getting
watery br like.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Just like you know, cause it's it's hard to stay
away from that thing, and I stopped it for years,
but now I do that.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Moderation got to and.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That's my new thing, Like I'm trying to go at
least that's gonna be my treat to myself once every quarter,
you know, because you take so long to digest that
and just to this smelling, smelling burgers here and there,
like who doesn't want a nice burger? But everything in moderation.
As long as you're living your life like that and
(24:53):
think like you know, too much of anything is bad
for you, then you'll you'll learne to break things down.
Like now I'm big, I'm right now I'm eating strictly
chicken and seafood that's all I'm eating. I meet along
with salads and stuff. But I've cut back on that
red meat just about too much now.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I thank nothing.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Nothing illustrated to me the cultural barriers to healthy eating
than what I experienced this past weekend in Albany, Georgia.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
We were in town.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
My wife had a wedding to attend, and I was.
I didn't go, so I was in the hotel and
dinner was for me to find something on my own.
So I'm sitting there looking through Yelp and everything. There's
nothing healthy. It's nothing but fast food joints like your crystals,
your churches, your burricings. KFC's a bunch of black owned
(25:45):
establishments selling fried fish and chicken chicken wings. There's like
no Chipotle, no Canvas, no chopped, no just salads, no.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Fresh kitchen, no sana. Well they had to ZASKI, But
I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Just the salads, the salads.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean that just that
just it's to me, just painted the picture clear as
to why, like how these restaurants, these businesses, they how
they target demographics. They know Albany is sixty percent black,
so there's no way none of these healthy places I
(26:27):
can in Albany, jop in Miami, somewhere.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
A chop to be it at Ali deal.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Like it honestly puts you in the mind of the uh.
I don't know if you all recall it, the episode
on Boondocks with the itis, the itis, you know, like
we we we do a lot of things because oh
that's what Grandma did, and that's what we've seen happening,
and it's so good, and we're passing this recipe down.
(26:56):
But and then you look at the ones before you
and what they die for. It the heart flattery, heart
arteries getting clogged, and the diabetes. And but you're still
continuing that cycle just because that's what was passed down
on you. So we gotta again look at the pattern, man,
and not be afraid to make changes and adjust that
recipe just a little bit. It will still be just
(27:18):
the wh just the weed.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
The barbershop diet, Well, the barbershop diet is what I
be old doing football season, which is like, you know,
I don't want to eat this McDonald's, but I got
to eat this McDonald's because I ain't got time to
get that else.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You see, you don't see barbers eat. They eat.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I just want you to explain it.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
It's like, yeah, yeah, it's like they're stuck and they
order food that delivered to the shop.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Jump.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
In some cases, you can bring a lunch because they
have the refrigerator. So bring your lunch, pack your salad,
pack your your gonola's, pack your fruits, and then get
a salad later on or something enough.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
My fam bj used to pick on me all the time.
To him and a beano rested soul man, be like, Dad, gone, cute,
you come up here tomorrow. You ain't had nothing to
eat all day but some crackers and some hummus. You know,
you eat like a bird. But I guess that's my
barbershop diet in a sense, because if I can literally
make it throughout the day eating some crackers and drinking
(28:23):
some water, it suppresses my appetite. I feel like I
need to eat anything, and as long as I'm full
of that water, I've eaten, like some peanut butter crackers
or something. Again, I'm not eating a bunch of junk food.
I would never do that. Just eating cookies and you know,
potato chips all day, that's just bad. But again, something
small like that to suppress the diet and maybe eat
a light salad later when I get time to do it.
(28:46):
But crackers in water can get you throughout the day.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
All Right, we're gonna come back and we're gonna talk
about staying active, getting that exercise in back on the
Good Ole Boys. Forecast Media Radio Network d B. Are
(29:13):
you watching the Kittles? Black Trump is?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Where's going to be back next week?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I don't know? You better come back that.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
He'd be doing some stuff man like, and they're like,
where's where's is that friend that tells you stuff?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And you really can't believe that he's telling you the truth.
That's what you really don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
But we're talking about healthy days, right, got on one
of those World War two folds and Todeo. Yeah, hey,
I'm not making that up. He said that one time.
Ain't nobody believe. But now, but we're talking about being
(30:05):
healthy man, and I got to get the exercise in right,
So like, uh, this is recently I had a conversation
with someone about like whether or not they're moving around
properly and stuff like that, getting the steps set and
all that type of stuff because they were complaining about
(30:25):
back pain. And me, being the kinnoisseur that I am
of back pain, I know that when you are having
back pain, it's because of the sedentary lifestyle, right, And
the sedentary lifestyle is a mother and and and Americans
are set up with the sedentary lifestyle sanitary lifestyle, meaning
(30:47):
we sit.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Down a lot in our in our culture.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Man. Like, I think, unless unless you like have the
luxury of like being someone that works outside for a living,
you're probably gonna be in a situation where you gotta
sit down. So I remember when I started having and
experiencing severe back pain. One of the main things that
I did was I started to I set up my
(31:12):
computer where I could stand up. So I still was
like getting my work done and everything, man, but I
wasn't sitting down anymore. And then I developed these habits
of now like I stand up like all the time,
like at least once an hour, I walk at least
once an hour. And then like, I don't have the
back pain that I used to have. Now a couple
of weeks ago, I had severe back pain. And if
(31:34):
you've ever been in our radio station, there's the tech room,
but there's a little there's a little workshelf basically in
the tach room. So I was set up in there
for like two weeks, man, when I was having back
problems recently, and I just stood up the whole time, man,
and then back pain went away and stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Man.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
So like I was saying that to say, you don't
necessarily have to get down here and do these crunches.
You don't have to do these push ups. You still
can be active just by walking more.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, I uh. You know, when I first moved to Charlotte,
I was working in Corporate America and doing a lot
of call center jobs and like you said, just sitting
down on the computer making phone calls and whatnot throughout
the day. And and what I call it my television
workout or commercial workout. You know, I watched TV a
lot when I got home just to relax, and my
(32:22):
downtown was just watching television, not really being on the phone,
because that's what I did all throughout the day. So
I called it my my my TV workout. So every
time I'm watching television, a commercial come on, that's two
minutes to whether it's get up, do some knee highs,
some jumping jacks or whatever. I did that a lot
in my twenties, Like you're saying, because it's burn down,
it cuts off your blood circulation and all of these
(32:44):
things you're getting belcrows veins and you know, all of
these other things that can affect you, you know, long term.
So it's just again just having the the the intent
again to get up and say, you know what, I
got two minutes between my show right here, I can
do something, whether it's some push whatever, you can.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
I do want you to know though, if somebody was
watching you doing that, they do think that you're crazy
today doing what.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
You're working out.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh yeah, but again it's already time.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You definitely within that time frame you're watching an hour show,
you're going to get at least twenty minutes of a
workout in.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Wow, that's smart TV, you.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Super smart?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
I used to do that.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
When I was in high school, and I was like
I was a workout like Thaniac. When when when I
was in high school, right and uh i uh I
used to do the uh. I was like we have
to read books or whatever stuff. But and I would
read a chapter and then I'll pump out one hundred
push ups after that chapter and I would read another
(33:48):
chapter one hundred countries and I would do that throughout,
like the you know, the process of reading a book
man every day and uh so, like that's that's like,
but I like the TV workout man.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I've never heard that before. Try to see.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
When I'm reading a book, bro, it's like me, I'll
come across five words that I don't understand or don't know,
so I'm like, reading the book is like going to
a class for me. Sometimes I'll have to let me
read this, let me look this word up so I
can confirm what it means, and I'm out of it.
It's like it's a mental workout for me in that sense,
you know, unless it's something I'm it's a very simple book.
(34:23):
But I ain't saying all books are simple, but I
tend to if I don't understand the word, I'm going
to look it up so that I understand the context
of it and add a new word to my vocabulary
within that. So it's just I don't I see what
you're saying, like at the end of it, but I'm
so mentally drained sometimes when I'm reading a book and
trying to gather what I just will process what I
just read that. I'm not about to give you the
(34:44):
one hundred push ups some crunches after that, bro, like
I'm gonna fall out.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Yeah, I mean typically, like I start my day off
with an hour of cardio, or you know, we have
a gym, a stationary bike that I hop on. I'll
be playing spades on the phone while I'm getting ten
miles in and got a rowing machine and do that
for about ten fifteen minutes and jump rope. So you
(35:11):
know that starts my day. Get up, pray, and get
some cardio in before you do anything else.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I'm gonna tell you another thing I've picked up man,
while I've been out here on this road. Even if
you're not eating healthy, if you first thing in the morning,
before you eat anything, and you do this at night
as well, if you'll do twenty body squats, what I've
learned that it does. It boosts your metabolism rate up
(35:42):
to keep your blood flowing so that you're, you know,
knocking down any extra fat that you have on your body.
Well after you've done those twenty body squats. Now I've
gotten it up to forty. Right now, I'll do twenty
and then I'll do like twenty alternating elbow, the knees
or whatever. So I'm getting forty of those in every morning,
four before I lay down at night. So when I'm
(36:02):
even when I'm sitting there driving, my metabolism is hyped up.
Burning fat is burning fat while I'm sleeping and laying down.
And then I'll eat a little bit later once I
feel that urge, and I'll try to get like some
apple sauce or something real light before i start eating
a meal or whatever. And as of lately, I've kicked
up my protein in tape, so I'm eating tuna, you know, salmon,
(36:23):
you know, all of these kind of things just to
kind of get that muscle back, right, Bro.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I know that a lot of people think that you
got to have a gym membership to get work out,
and you don't need the gym membership everything.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
That and some uh and some you call it resistance bands, bro,
or just or just calisthetics period or it is your.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Phone, your phone and hook it up tight on YouTube
YouTube exercise video.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
So my my my daughter works out like every day
and it's like she has like a few YouTubers as
she watches and she just does the workout through you
know what they do for like thirty minutes every day
and stuff.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
And then she also like works on getting her step
set and stuff like that. Man, Like, so you know
what I'm saying, I got her a fit bit to
help her with that. My baby girl gonna be on
the most strongest woman or something. The way she going
at it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah religiously.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Oh really yeah, yeah, see that's I love to see it.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
You know what I'm saying because like you know, like
this is good developing good habits about that stuff, eating
healthier and stuff like that. Man, Because because I ain't
gonna lie, man, like, you know, our generation ate like
some animals.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
But yeah, and I know that just dis damaged us
long team. Probably just walking.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Places that you enjoy. If you're a city person and
you like walking, you know, uptown Charlotte and and people watching,
do that. If you enjoy walking on the beach or
walking up mountains, then do that. But yeah, you can
make make activities enjoyable, you know, just say.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
That's why I say I was telling earlier, man, like,
you know, like I walked to lunch most days, you
know what I'm saying, the only time I don't really
want to lunch. Is if I don't have the time
and I gotta get back early or something like that,
or if if if it's rainy.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Like I won't, I won't walk there.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
But like, but outside of that, man like that, I
got enough stuff around me where I can walk and
you know, get step set and stuff like that. Man
like you know, which also helps fild up your metabolism
and everything, or you have a meal too.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I told my brother that, you know, his big his
big weakness was pepsi coldest. And I told him, I say, bro,
say you don't I say, you don't stay too far
from the gas station. I said, if you want one,
walk to the store and get it. I said, I
guarantee by the time you get there, you're not gonna
want that pepsi. You're gonna want something cold, like some
water or gatorade. Right, And if you want that pepsi
(38:47):
on the way back, go ahead and get it, but
I promise you probably won't want it. And then you're
gonna get to the point like if I gotta walk
to get this pepsi, I don't want a pepsi amore,
you know. So I'm just trying to get them to
mentally train itself in that aspect, like you said, to
get those steps in and ultimately fight that urge as well.
But he's been doing good, you know, lately kicking that one.
So you know he's he's down to not even a
(39:08):
soda a day now. I think he said he's down
in maybe two a week or something like that of
him on that nah.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Like I was addicted to like vanilla coke Man and
a cherry coke god bro, So I just do me
on that bag.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
And I love vanilla coke Man, like I do it
like if you see me with a vanilla coke right.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Now, Like I only get it when I'm like in
a bad mood, and like if I experience it's like
if I get a vanilla coke and so Chinese food. Man,
you know, things are rough.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And it's funny yo. Like like I was talking to
you about the state, how I'm trying to trade my
body in my mind to to wean off of that.
I did the same thing when it came to the
cherry coke, so it's now I don't even I put
it on my calendar every time I drank one. So
and it got to a point to where it was
like every four weeks, so I was getting one once
a month, and now I don't even have to think
(39:59):
of it. I get that urge about once a month,
and I always when I get the urge, I go
check my calendar to see when's the last time I
had an ark soda before I get it, because if
it's being less than three weeks or four weeks, I'm
not messing with it.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
I just gotta lead those empty calories alone. Yeah, man, Yeah,
it's this fellas. All right, we're gonna we're gonna come back,
and we're gonna talk about the silent killers Q alluded to,
like pile ups and stuff like that earlier. We'll talk
about that when we come back. This is a h
gotta say rest in piece of summer.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
Man.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
I ain't gonna even say his name. But I passed
away earlier this year. But every time I see this
person's name, I think about something that he told me.
But man said that, uh uh, well, Olivia Newton John
perform on Saturday Night Live. He locked the door and
his naked sitting there watching it. What so, But I
(40:55):
ain't gonna call his name, man, like you know what
I'm saying. But uh, but that was hilarious.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
We used elevel that all the time.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
But this is an Olivia Newton John with physical so
the Good Old Boys Radio show.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Backing to Good Old Boys forecast, I know it is.
I think I told you about him, Like.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah, yeah, that definitely sounds like it came from him.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
It was hilarious, man.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
But anyway, Uh, recipes of Olivia Newton John too, and
she passed away to lost a.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
Couple of years ago, and my apologies for totally forgetting
about what's his face passing away like ten years ago?
And last week saying that you're still living.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Joe Cocker, Joe Cocker.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
He could rated me on a podcast about Joe Cocker
being dead. He's like, hey dad, He was like, okay,
I'm like that, I don't killed Joe Cocker. Joe Joe
Cocker died a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
I died him.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
So, uh, you you mentioned h going to get the
colonoscopy and like I'm clearing out some polyps and stuff.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Man, Like you you're not the first person that I've
talked to in our age range that had experienced that.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
First off, like, let's talk a little bit about.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
The process of getting a colonoscopy because it's a really
invasive deal. But like you know, like there's a lot
of fear I think among black men that you know,
don't want to go to the colonoscopy, don't want to
get the prostate exam and all that type of stuff
for the same reasons.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Listen, man, it's it's the if you can go to
the club, go to the bar and leave your drink unattended,
then you can go get a colonoscopy simply because you're
gonna be sedated and and and it's just like he said.
He initially you have to get certain things you can't
eat prior to the surgery. Uh, they get you prepped
(42:56):
afterward as far as what you can eat just to
kind of wing yourself back on the solids and whatnot.
But you have to, you know, take the diuretic or
whatnot to clean out your system so that once they
get the camera in there, they can see everything clearly.
It's like I chose to take the it's a two
two liter like drinks or whatever to get out and
(43:18):
it I mean, you knock them down so fast and
I was chasing it with water so I can't see
here and say I was enjoying it like a gatorade
or nothing. But it's not anything you're gonna want to buy,
you know what I'm saying. But me personally, I didn't
even need the second one. I just drank it because
they told me to make sure I finished the liquids
before the surgery. Because after I finished the first bottle,
(43:38):
I can already tell that I was cleared out, you
know what I'm saying. So I just finished that out, man.
And that just sounds like so like strong, but yeah,
Like honestly, it wasn't like you know, like you think
like if you have diarrhea or something like that. It
wasn't like a feeling or experience like that. It was
just you basically peeing from the other end at the
(43:58):
end of the day. Because it's just it's kind of
like like seriously, I don't know how else to explain it,
Like you're there, your your walls are being stripped down,
bro like period, Like you.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
Know, so you can't go more than ten feet away
from the toilet.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Death Oh nah, you chilling at home that day most definitely, man.
And you know I had to have my cousin come
pick me up.
Speaker 5 (44:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I don't recall being I remember the lady giving me
the anesthesia, but I don't recall falling out. When I
was waking up, I think my cousin was already there
and we were I was being wheeled out to the car.
You know, it was very quick. It was you know, hey,
they got to woo you out. Yeah, they cause you
still sedate it. You still sit it for the most part.
You can't drive yourself after that one.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
Man. And so it's like a like a real like surgery,
like you gotta get put under and stuff. Oh yeah,
most definitely, man.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
So you know it's like I said, it was cool man,
Like I mean, it wasn't what I thought it was
going to be, and it scared me in that regards.
And again I'm I went through with it. And like
I said, being you know that they found those polyps.
I have to still go back in what three years now,
just to get rechecked and make sure nothing else is developing.
But it's just something you just want to stay on
(45:12):
top of. Man. I know, it seems like it's nothing
like you might look at your teeth and be like, oh,
well there's nothing wrong right here. I'm good. But it
like Trump alluded to earlier or was staying earlier, like, Yo,
it could be something else that's wrong, And it may
not be a rotten tooth. It might be your gum
line or ginger vitis or something like that just causing
other ailments and you just got to stay on top
(45:33):
of things. Man, be again, I keep saying it intent
about it.
Speaker 6 (45:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I had a bone graft done
because I see a periodnis. I've been saying on for
about fifteen years because of gum loss and bone loss.
After I've embracest twice and I was looking. I saw
a pamphlet on the side of the wall, and I
was talking about how gum disease can lead to heart disease,
(46:02):
it could lead to infertility likes it's side effects that
you can never imagine being impacted because of gum disease.
And like I was mentioning earlier, sleep apneas is like
a trigger to other things. I had my cousin, me
(46:22):
and him, we were talking a few weeks ago, and
I told him that I've had like a light bout
of sleep apnea, where like once or twice a month,
I'm sleeping in and then I kind of fall into
a deep sleep where I'm struggling to breathe and then
I'm gasping for air and then I wake up eventually.
So he had told me about this app on Android,
(46:46):
and I'm pretty sure iPhone has it where you can
if you have your phone and a like an Apple
or a Samsung watch, you could test yourself. Two nights,
you sleep with your watch on and it'll tell you
if you have have sleep apne.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
What's the name of this app? I help, I help, Okay, yeah,
that's definitely probably on the I phone.
Speaker 5 (47:11):
Yeah, so I yeah, yeah, I had.
Speaker 6 (47:15):
After my two days of doing it, I found out
that I do do have like a severe case of
sleep apper.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (47:23):
So when I see the doctor on September tenth, we're
gonna talk about it. Which I've taken tests. I've taken
tests before, but sleep apnea and it came back negative.
H So that's what I'm saying. It's conflicting. You're always
gonna have conflicting diagnosis. Just like when you you take
your car to multiple places, they're all going to tell
(47:44):
you different things that's wrong with your car, but you
still got to get something fixed or your car going
on the side of the road.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
Yeah, I also want to say, man, if you if
you've been eating like ribs and a bunch of fried
foods for most of your life, man, you definitely want
to like make sure that you get some heart almss
checked out and stuff, man, because like that stuff, like
you know, compounds over decades of eating like that, and uh,
(48:10):
you know a lot of people have left here having
like massive heart attacks not knowing that they're even sick.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Get some roughige in your life, man, clean out your pipes, ruffige, rofige.
That's that's what my grandmother called greens. Oh yeah, you know,
just to get it moving through, man, so that all
of that grease and everything is just like if you
you're putting grease in your kitchen and your kitchen saint man,
you know it gets blocked up. Yeah, what happens inside
(48:38):
of your body, man, And yeah, got to keep some
of that stuff in mind. That science you learn in
junior high will get you through.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
All Right, We're gonna come back and we're going to
talk about having accountability partners or the.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
Full length version of The Good Old Boys Radio Show.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
Follow us on bigs Cloud or check us out on
Pushplaypods dot Com. Back on the Good Ole Boys Forecast
Media Radio Network work. We're talking about being healthy now.
One of the good things about like you know and
and and and this was harder harder to find. But
throughout high school in particularly if you play sports, and
(49:14):
once you got to like college, even uh, I have
workout partners, and then it was very difficult to find
workout partners after I graduated college. And you have to
like hold yourself accountable. That's that It seems like it's
a lot easier if you got somebody that you're partnering
with to work out. And sometimes you can try to
(49:35):
do that now with like the way technology is, you
can like be friends with somebody on my fitness path
or something like that and away you go. But it's
it seems like having an accountability partner and then not
having an accountability partner, uh cause a decrease in my
working out from for myself.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Uh Personally, I it's fun, but but when I go
to the gym, I'd rather just have some headphones in
and knock out my workout. I tend to talk more
and I might have a more of a cool down
period instead of actually doing so if we're on the
treadmill and doing some cardio, then cool, we can chop
(50:15):
it up a little bit. But I tend to get
sidetracked when I do have somebody that's there with me
and you know, you know, and again it can help
also when it's like okay, if you knock your rep out,
I get my cool down, you're getting yours in it.
So it's a it'll create that pattern. But sometimes I
tend to just talk too much and not focus on,
you know, keeping my core tight and just doing the
basics so that I don't get injured. So I do
(50:37):
prefer to kind of work out by myself. I don't
really do a lot of free weights and stuff anyway,
so you know, but again, teach his own however it
makes you get through the workout whatever, you know, I say,
hold yourself accountable to it and just knocking it out.
It's good to have that person there to say, hey man,
hey it's time to get to the gym today, bro,
and you know, all right, all right, you're right, you're right,
no excuses. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (51:00):
Prefer going solo myself because I think a lot of
times people we all move at our own pace, so
I give there's someone that that moves faster and you're
slowing them down that that kind of makes you feel
bad and kind of takes away from the joy and
the experience. Or it could be someone that moves slower
(51:22):
than you and you're you're like, man, I could be
I could get this done in like thirty minutes and
you're making me take you like forty five to fifty minutes.
So a lot of times I just want to do
my own thing. And then you know, yeah, accountability could
just be like someone checking in on you, Yo, did
you get your get your workout in the day. I'm
about to go, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
That's just and that's what I mean, Like you know
what I'm saying, like like like we we gotta like
check it like like Sad was my accountability partner in
college because we used to like go and lift wasted
together and stuff a lot, right, but now he used
my accountability partner about making me go to.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
The dotor, you know, saying, so like we gotta like
be there for each other like that.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
Man, But that's not That's gonna wrap it up for
today's edition of The Good Old Boys Radio Show, We're
gonna wrap it up with the roots. If you gotta
start right now and and your journey and being healthy,
then it can start today. And this is one of
my favorite songs by the album. It's called the Date
from the How I Got Over album And guess what
(52:25):
else though, man, we'll see you what I'm saying, and
we out this fucking thing.

Don't want to talk about the stuff that we've been

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I guess, man, it ain't funny.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's not it's not this. This ain't funny at all
that we're talking about.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Funny laugh no.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
No laughing matter on on on this one. Didn't know
somebody have a wrestling move, no laughing matter.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Who was that?
Speaker 5 (01:18):
So?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
No, somebody had that move? Man?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Like in the in the w w F days before
the w w e uh dink the clowndink dwink the
clown was it him?
Speaker 5 (01:30):
I don't think that was his fashion move.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
It wasn't.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
I'm just saying I don't remember that being his fashion moved.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
The clown.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
He had like some.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Little people that were also dressed as clowns, and one
of them was called.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Think all right, who is Bill DeMott?
Speaker 5 (01:54):
He's Hugh Morris.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Hugh Morris, humorous humor us. That was his move, no
laughing matter. It was a mood salt, a very stiff
looking mood salt called no laughing Matter.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Hey, it's amazing how stuff be popping up in your
head that you basically all but forgot.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, computer Broye.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Uh So this week, uh we're talking about we're basically like, honestly,
man like all the black men that listened to this program,
pull up a chair man like we were talking to
us this week. This is going to be a I
don't want to call it an intervention, but a a
therapy type session where we have to like communicate ah,
(02:58):
our strategies to stay here longer. And by staying here longer,
I'm meaning Planet Earth because I don't think that black
men in general do a good job of taking.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Care of themselves.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And I'm one of the first people to raise my
hand and say I don't do a good job taking
care of myself. Every single time I bump into our
good friend Brian sab Ryan asked me if I set
the appointment to the doctor that he gave me the
name of yet just to get a check up every
time I see him.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
He asked me that, And I ain't said that appointment.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
What's the less time you got adopt disappointment?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
When I was having health problems with my back. So
that's about fourteen years ago, about about twelve thirteen fourteen
some place I have been there.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
See, sab is the kind of brother that all of
us brothers need to get everybody else to be intent
about our intentions. That's the type of people you need
in your circle in this day and age.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah, don't even say that back I had I had
I had gotten sick. I had some kind of cold,
but this was like twenty twelve, and they said it
was like a viral infection, but it was a it
was like a cold that wouldn't go away.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Don't we looking at me?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Like that.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But it was like they gave me some some.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Lead and and I took that lead and it outed
right on out man.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, that purple lean.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah you know, like uh, I know, like uh, it
caused me to have ants, Like it's just sitting there
on the counter. I guess the ADS was trying to
get to yeah, uh yeah, man, But that's that's the
last time I went to see and seeing the doctor.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Man, I need to.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Go because I was hitting the mid forties and stuff
and this time to start worrying about the cold lett
and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Man. Oh yeah, like I've been throwing that. Yeah. I'm
thankful for some of the people I've had in my life, man,
who have encouraged me to to be better. At one point,
I was just one of those guys who felt like
it ain't nothing wrong with me. I feel good, it
ain't nothing wrong with me. But it's psycho or going
on inside that we're not aware of, you know, like
(05:13):
sometimes you don't know that the belt on your car
is freed, and you just drive it and drive it
into it blow. You don't want to play with your
own health like that. You know. It's something that doctors
people who are trained that could advise you on and
I know there are a lot of people who are
big on holistics and things of that nature. I'm not
knocking that. I'm just saying, at least go visit someone
(05:34):
who's been to school for sixteen twenty years and has
learned to trade or something in particular that can guide
you in the right direction even if you decide to
go with another option. Just to be aware. That's all
I'm asking my men to do, and just everybody in general.
And with that being said, also, Man, I just wander
before we dive into things this week, and I'm not
(05:55):
sure when this show is going to actually record, but
I just want to shout out the Hemuway family. One
of my brothers I grew up with man passed away recently,
and I'm not sure if the extent of what he
was going on, but when I understand he had an
aneurysm and this big ups to King and the family, Man,
Jimmy and everybody everybody back home, you know, North Myrtle
(06:15):
Beach area. Man, we had a stand up guy, you know,
always doing this thing in the neighborhood, and he actually
moved his way up the ranks in the Oory County
Police Department. So I just want to say I salute
to this brother, man. And again that's what we're going
to dive into the day. It's just about taking care
of yourselves in general.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I have much love to his family.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Man.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Like, sorry to hear that, bro.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yeah yeah, let's saw you had posted it on Facebook
the other day.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah that thing boy that jumped crazy. Man, it just
crash a brother forty eight years old. Man, you know
what I'm saying. We at that age now where it's
like it's the dude you could have been talking to
yesterday and they When we were younger, it was like
it was just older people and that's how it was
supposed to be. And now where those older people. Man,
And it's again, it's up to us. Like I said,
(07:01):
I'm probably gonna say this one hundred times in the show,
but we have to be intent about our intentions and
let's thrive and try to be here for our kids
and their kids. Even so.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, and that's the thing, man.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
I think that when we were in our twenties, even
our thirties, I think that when we heard about somebody
in our age group passing away, it was something something
violent happened to them. They were in a car accident
or something like that, and it was rare that there
was somebody like had some kind of like you know,
(07:30):
legitimate health problem.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Or something that took them out.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Man.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
But like now, like you know, we hear about people,
you know, getting some disease or some other health ailment.
And I know people who went to sleep and never
woke up again that were in our age group, man,
and and like you know, didn't even know anything was wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Man.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So like, uh, that's what we want to talk about today.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Man. We want to talk about, like, you know, taking
care of yourself, eating healthy, getting the proper exercise and
you know, taking care of good mental health and all
of that type of stuff. Man. All of the music
is about uh being in a happy space, being good,
you know what I mean, Like, uh, taking care of
yourself and everything.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Man.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Back on to Good Old Boys Forecast Media Radio Network
talking about being healthy. So we we we alluded to
it a little bit earlier. Why do black men refuse
to go to the doctor. Because I can tell you,
like you know, my my the people of the men
(08:37):
in my family, the older men in my family, they
they didn't like going to the doctor and then until
they got you know, of age, Troy, I mean Trump
and uh uh so like uh what what what?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
What?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
What were your experiences? What have you seen from older
men of your family?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
No, I mean yeah, I could vouch for the same
thing with a lot of men in my family. I
mean I think they're doing a better job now than
they did like years ago. Like my grandfather, like he has,
like my mom and some of my other cousins, that's
always you know, pleading for him to, you know, go
get a check up. Like there was one time he
(09:16):
had like this huge bump on the back of his head,
and of course we're concerned that it's potentially cancerous and
he's just like it's no big deal, and we're like, dude,
we want you here find out what's going on. I
think that's the problem with a lot of I guess
we all say black men, but I just think black
people in general, they want to self diagnose everything, when
(09:36):
to me, there's no excuse not to make an appointment.
We have access to doctors now more than ever. People
that look like us in the medical profession, you know
that are here to help us. But instead you want
to listen to what somebody else told you, and they're
not professionally inclined to offer that sort of wisdom. And
(10:00):
there's the fact that everything is connected. If you have
a toothache, it could be connected to heart problems. If
you have sleep apnea, that could be tie to heart problems.
Like it's always a bunch of little things that leads
to something catastrophic, and people just want to ignore it
and take a talent all.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
I think everything's will be cool.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Yeah, I think you said a key thing there as
far as we have progressed when it comes to healthcare
a lot, but you said something key as far as
having access. I think that's the fear. Not necessarily the fear,
but the reason a lot of us don't go is
because we don't have the financial means. A lot of
(10:41):
us don't have insurance or feel we're out here living
check to check, and it's other things that are higher
up on the priority that they feel, Okay, I need
to keep these lights on, I need to keep food
in the house versus taking care of my health. When
it's to them, that's like something that can be pushed off,
and it shouldn't be. They shouldn't feel like at first
and foremost, I mean, you got Canadians who have free
(11:03):
health care. We got so many things that we can
do within our country to help our people, but yet
we still have people feeling like they're stressed in regards
to just living day to day. And it's just again,
I was one of those people. I can't. I can't
sit here now like I'm better than anybody. It's just hey,
I was checked to check for a long time and
I was like, forget these benefits. Man, why am I
(11:24):
paying for this? If I can use this money to
take care of this debt, to do this and try
to better myself. But what's the use and better in
yourself if you ain't gonna be here to reap the
benefits of it. So I think again we have to
attack that issue and get to the bottom line as
to why for what we can do as a people
to have better health care so that people who feel
(11:45):
like they're less fortunate can get to these doctors, like
you said, because it's a lot of them. They're catering
to us now more so than they did in the
past with tests that were running was catered or done
with a lot of Caucasian folks. And that medicine wasn't
meant for us. So again it's it's definitely better for
us now to at least get out there if we're
able to. And I suggest people put mon put five
(12:06):
dollars in a jar, you know, do whatever you can,
just to say, hey, at least once a year, go
get a check up, even if it's once a year,
find out what's going on with yourself. You know.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yeah, I don't think it's I don't think money can
no longer be used as a reason to not go
visit a doctor.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Because if you.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
Die and you don't have insurance, the funeral is more
than you going to the doctor. So you're going to
put a burden on your family anyway, So you might
as well go see a doctor because we want you
here more than anything, like you're healthy, more important.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
But you can't say that money isn't a burden dog
like you know, like I know a lot of poor
people have it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
They're not gonna have money for their own funeral.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Yeah, but got money, but they don't have money to
go and get the healthcare either.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
So so either either or you're screwed.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Yeah like that, Yeah, hey, it comes out.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
But you can go to urgent care. You can go
to urgent care.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
It comes out of your podcast right out. I've done that,
and it's like hundreds of dollars. It costs a regular doctor, right,
So it's a whole lot wanted it. It's the preventative.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Urgent care is like the seven eleven convenience store when
it comes to things you know that's right at night. Yeah,
they'll help you. Yeah, but you're gonna come out of pocket.
You go to the seven eleven, you're gonna spend five
know how a two liter bottle of coat.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
That's about to say, like like some some uh takes
his pet hot sauce bottle, it's like eight dollars or
that buff.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
You can get six of them at the Food Lion,
you know, during regular hours. So that's the comparison there.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
So I mean, I hear what you're saying, though, like
like you shouldn't use it as an excuse and you
should still like just let the bills pile up and
stuff so you can stay healthy and then you will
work yourself to death paid for all of that stuff
as well because of America, like you.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Said, yeah, like you was saying, also, them bills gonna
still be there. You you can go sixty ninety days
one hundred and twenty days delinquent and put your health
on the top of that priority list and try to
balance things out over time. But because again it's only
a debt, your life is what matters the most, Your
health is what matters the most.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Well, I don't think I don't think it's that's all
IM saying. I don't think it's some money thing. I
think people are afraid to find out the truth about themselves.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Sometimes want to know.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
They don't want to know what ailments they have and
what changes they'll need to make, because they're not willing
to make those change.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
I can't agree with that.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
But I also think that like the medical industry in
itself has put themselves themselves in a bad light with
the Black community. And this goes back for years the
Tuskegee Syphilist experiments, and you know, like I think that
there's a mistrust, a distrust within the black community in itself,
(14:51):
in particularly with black men, because those, like the Simplist experiments,
was solely black men, and it went on for decades
before it was discovering what was happening. So it kind
of makes us kind of like a little bit distrustful
of the industry. And I can speak for myself, man,
like you know, like I've always like done a ton
(15:14):
of research before I even go in the doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Man.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And then like something else negative happened. I had another
negative experiment experienced when like this is prior to me
having bank surgery, and I was I said, you know what,
i'ma start going to the doctor. I think I was
like thirty something years old, and I said, I'm gonna
start going to the doctor every year having physical went
to the doctor, had like I said, okay, you my
new family dollar all right, went there, did blood work
(15:40):
and stuff. Say hey, you got a problem with your liver.
I need to send you over to this ultrasound people
so they could take a look at your liver. Went
over there, got that done. They saying they can't see
any abn malage. Need to send you to the specialist.
I never went to the specialists, right, And I said,
you know what, let me let me let me see
(16:01):
how this state plays out of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Fast forward a couple of years, I go to have surgery.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
When I started going to the orthopedic surgeon and stuff,
and they did you know, blood work and stuff for
me and stuff then and I asked like, so, like,
there's no problem with my liver, and You're like, what
are you talking about? And I was like, well, you know,
I had a doctor say I had a problem with
my liver and he's like, oh see, the the didn't
like that, Like you know, I'm aloud to say that
they lied, but maybe they lied. The doctor told me that,
(16:28):
you know what I'm saying, So that that happens, Yeah,
that kind of scared me.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Man. You got you got fresh people that are just
getting into the in the industry, just like any other job,
you know.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
Or people who want to get their friend's money by
going to get the ultrasound part.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But but again it's like it's it's a learning curve still,
but we hold them so accountable because they're doctors. When
that's what they say, get a second opinion. You know,
you coulda you could have just went to another doctor
to be like, hey, I just been advised of something
going on. Just wanted to make sure that, you know,
just a big panel run, you know what I'm saying,
not even the give them their heads up of what
they're looking for. Just give me a panel, so I
(17:03):
can know what's going on because I've been advised to something,
I just want to double check before I move forward.
So it's just we hope we put so much weight
on the doctors in that aspect. But to what Trump
was saying earlier, in the sense that like, for example,
like I had my grandfather, you know, pass away, you
had diabetes. I had another grandmother, great grandmother who had Alzheimer's,
(17:26):
and my grandmother had early stages of dementia. Then it
would be like me being afraid to go to the
doctor because of what transpired with them when it's clearly
something that's genetic. Possibly you know, it could be it
could something skipping a generation. I need to go get
checked for that. So like folks who have people with
(17:46):
cancer's issues and things of that nature, you shouldn't be
afraid because of what you saw happened to your loved one.
You need to get checked out to verify to make
sure that you're not on that same trajectory and the
same thing happens that you and you move this on
to your kids, and it's just the cycle continues, like
and I even know like far as with us as
me and you know, some of these the testings keep
(18:09):
us leary of even going like you were saying, Mario,
like like I'm at that point, I gotta go get
the prostate joint. Man, It's gotta be another way to
get this prostage check, you know what I'm saying. But
I know it's gotta get done. And I'm thankful that
I had my colonoscopy two years ago. You know, they
they got a couple of polyps out of there, and
it was just like, I'm glad I went and got
that taken care of because otherwise it could have developed
(18:32):
into something else. So it's just I gotta go back
in three years, you know what I'm saying. So it's
just staying on top of these things.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
You can't be afraid because of what you saw. You
can only break the cycle.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Man.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
And I just I just strongly urge everybody. Man, that's
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
Yeah, I think like we can't underscore how important it
is to know your family, no family history, know who
your parents are, no know the hereditary problems that they've
they've received from their parents and the generation before that,
(19:11):
because it trickles down to you. So if if you're
in a situation where you don't you've never met your family,
then yeah, you're you're at a disadvantage because you have
no clue what you could be experiencing that you should have,
you should have or could have known about well in advance.
Because families are split up. Yeah, you're not aware of
(19:33):
these things.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
That's a fact.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
And I'm hopeful I do a lot a lot of
a lot of men also in our families, Man, they
will go through things and and it's either out of
shame or they just don't want people giving them sympathy
or or anything of that nature, or being empathetic towards
them or anything because of what they're going through, so
they don't tell us. And sometimes we find out things
(19:58):
just by ear hustling within the family. I'm thankful that
i have a huge family, and I'm thankful that we
all discuss things that are affecting each other. But even
I'm looking at some of my uncles now, and people
just wait till that last minute until they're in the
hospital and they're trying to get better and they're fighting
against time and all of these other things that have
piled up over time. So staying on top of it, man.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
We're gonna come back and we're going to talk about
what you gotta do to fix your diet. Back on
the go to Ole Boards, Forecast Media Radio Network. We're
talking about being healthy now. Some of us don't know
how to push back from that plate. Some of us
is hot, grease, some of us is me. I like
(20:46):
some good food, boy, and I will say that, like,
my diet has been shifting a lot as I've aged.
I don't care as much for like fried food and
stuff like that the way that I probably used to
eat it back in the day. I like a good sandwich,
you know what I'm saying. I like a good salad now.
And when I say it's salad, I'm not talking about
the way somebody all be making y'all salads.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
We all be loaded that bad boy with cheese and
rash dressing and and and and all the meat in
the world. And that's not a healthy salad. That's a salad.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Though. Don't be knocking me, hey, Like my daughter tells me,
you know tomorrow, I used to be big on the garden.
I mean the seeds are salad. That's not a salad.
I have no no tomatoes, no egg, no nothing on it.
Just y seeds of baby.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Give me some crew times, right, I will say, I
go to Harris Teeter and I do this like pretty regularly,
and I get like a salad with some kaloe mixed
up with some iceberg lettuce, and I give you some
like broccoli and some carrots. Put on that bad boy,
some onions, some bell pepper, a little bit of boy
egg man. You know what I'm saying, Like you gotta
(21:53):
you gotta eat it healthy sometime out though.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Hey everything, Yeah, what's home with a boy dag? The
boy day is setting it off. Bro Listen, right here
in North Carolina, the go to show Mars if you
ever in the city, if you ever any in the state.
They got sho Mars.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
They got in rock Killed too, and.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
The garden chef salad, oh yes, with the with the
with the taco shell bro oh my god.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Don't don't go to the water on Freedom Drive though,
because I was in there one time.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
But the dude had on some basketball shorts and the
gat was hanging out the shorts.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh gosh, it looknfol.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
And go off like really.
Speaker 6 (22:41):
But like my favorite salad, like I make it myself.
It's either spinach or spring mix. With roasted pecans, strawberries, blueberries,
goat cheese and in the raspberry vinegarette dressing.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
This is healthy and it's got your berries and rights
give you that texture of the crunch to it.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I like the market salad from Chick fil A because
like it's like got fruit in and and stuff man,
And then you can put your little almonds on top
of it and stuff. Man.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
It's like banging man like. And it's only like five
hundred calories once you put the dressing on it and
stuff man. So like it's a good little lunch.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Beal right there many I mean even just the fruit salad,
you know what I'm saying, the actual the salad salad,
the lettuce or whatever. You know what I'm saying, the
fruit salad. That's me getting healthier because I gotta throw
my ranch on there. I sprinkle a little cheese on salads,
you know, but it's my mom cheese. I need to
cut back on the ranch. But I have cut down.
I used to like just drowned.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
You ball need to call our friend Thomas. Does he
put ranch on everything?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Man?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
But I see that boy put ranch on rice.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Somebody need to somebody needs to down lock them up
for that.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, but I think I think as we do get
older though, like you know, you start realizing that, you
know again just listening to older people talk like now
I'm about two months in on not even any red meat.
Do I love it? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Word man?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
And I love a steak. Also, I absolutely love a state,
you know, a good old Melbourne from from out back,
a nice side state and just anyway, I'm not getting
watery br like.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Just like you know, cause it's it's hard to stay
away from that thing, and I stopped it for years,
but now I do that.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Moderation got to and.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
That's my new thing, Like I'm trying to go at
least that's gonna be my treat to myself once every quarter,
you know, because you take so long to digest that
and just to this smelling, smelling burgers here and there,
like who doesn't want a nice burger? But everything in moderation.
As long as you're living your life like that and
(24:53):
think like you know, too much of anything is bad
for you, then you'll you'll learne to break things down.
Like now I'm big, I'm right now I'm eating strictly
chicken and seafood that's all I'm eating. I meet along
with salads and stuff. But I've cut back on that
red meat just about too much now.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I thank nothing.
Speaker 6 (25:11):
Nothing illustrated to me the cultural barriers to healthy eating
than what I experienced this past weekend in Albany, Georgia.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
We were in town.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
My wife had a wedding to attend, and I was.
I didn't go, so I was in the hotel and
dinner was for me to find something on my own.
So I'm sitting there looking through Yelp and everything. There's
nothing healthy. It's nothing but fast food joints like your crystals,
your churches, your burricings. KFC's a bunch of black owned
(25:45):
establishments selling fried fish and chicken chicken wings. There's like
no Chipotle, no Canvas, no chopped, no just salads, no.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Fresh kitchen, no sana. Well they had to ZASKI, But
I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Just the salads, the salads.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
But yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean that just that
just it's to me, just painted the picture clear as
to why, like how these restaurants, these businesses, they how
they target demographics. They know Albany is sixty percent black,
so there's no way none of these healthy places I
(26:27):
can in Albany, jop in Miami, somewhere.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
A chop to be it at Ali deal.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Like it honestly puts you in the mind of the uh.
I don't know if you all recall it, the episode
on Boondocks with the itis, the itis, you know, like
we we we do a lot of things because oh
that's what Grandma did, and that's what we've seen happening,
and it's so good, and we're passing this recipe down.
(26:56):
But and then you look at the ones before you
and what they die for. It the heart flattery, heart
arteries getting clogged, and the diabetes. And but you're still
continuing that cycle just because that's what was passed down
on you. So we gotta again look at the pattern, man,
and not be afraid to make changes and adjust that
recipe just a little bit. It will still be just
(27:18):
the wh just the weed.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
The barbershop diet, Well, the barbershop diet is what I
be old doing football season, which is like, you know,
I don't want to eat this McDonald's, but I got
to eat this McDonald's because I ain't got time to
get that else.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
You see, you don't see barbers eat. They eat.
Speaker 5 (27:37):
I just want you to explain it.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
It's like, yeah, yeah, it's like they're stuck and they
order food that delivered to the shop.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Jump.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
In some cases, you can bring a lunch because they
have the refrigerator. So bring your lunch, pack your salad,
pack your your gonola's, pack your fruits, and then get
a salad later on or something enough.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
My fam bj used to pick on me all the time.
To him and a beano rested soul man, be like, Dad, gone, cute,
you come up here tomorrow. You ain't had nothing to
eat all day but some crackers and some hummus. You know,
you eat like a bird. But I guess that's my
barbershop diet in a sense, because if I can literally
make it throughout the day eating some crackers and drinking
(28:23):
some water, it suppresses my appetite. I feel like I
need to eat anything, and as long as I'm full
of that water, I've eaten, like some peanut butter crackers
or something. Again, I'm not eating a bunch of junk food.
I would never do that. Just eating cookies and you know,
potato chips all day, that's just bad. But again, something
small like that to suppress the diet and maybe eat
a light salad later when I get time to do it.
(28:46):
But crackers in water can get you throughout the day.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
All Right, we're gonna come back and we're gonna talk
about staying active, getting that exercise in back on the
Good Ole Boys. Forecast Media Radio Network d B. Are
(29:13):
you watching the Kittles? Black Trump is?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Where's going to be back next week?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I don't know? You better come back that.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Boy.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
He'd be doing some stuff man like, and they're like,
where's where's is that friend that tells you stuff?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
And you really can't believe that he's telling you the truth.
That's what you really don't know.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
But we're talking about healthy days, right, got on one
of those World War two folds and Todeo. Yeah, hey,
I'm not making that up. He said that one time.
Ain't nobody believe. But now, but we're talking about being
(30:05):
healthy man, and I got to get the exercise in right,
So like, uh, this is recently I had a conversation
with someone about like whether or not they're moving around
properly and stuff like that, getting the steps set and
all that type of stuff because they were complaining about
(30:25):
back pain. And me, being the kinnoisseur that I am
of back pain, I know that when you are having
back pain, it's because of the sedentary lifestyle, right, And
the sedentary lifestyle is a mother and and and Americans
are set up with the sedentary lifestyle sanitary lifestyle, meaning
(30:47):
we sit.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Down a lot in our in our culture.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Man. Like, I think, unless unless you like have the
luxury of like being someone that works outside for a living,
you're probably gonna be in a situation where you gotta
sit down. So I remember when I started having and
experiencing severe back pain. One of the main things that
I did was I started to I set up my
(31:12):
computer where I could stand up. So I still was
like getting my work done and everything, man, but I
wasn't sitting down anymore. And then I developed these habits
of now like I stand up like all the time,
like at least once an hour, I walk at least
once an hour. And then like, I don't have the
back pain that I used to have. Now a couple
of weeks ago, I had severe back pain. And if
(31:34):
you've ever been in our radio station, there's the tech room,
but there's a little there's a little workshelf basically in
the tach room. So I was set up in there
for like two weeks, man, when I was having back
problems recently, and I just stood up the whole time, man,
and then back pain went away and stuff.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Man.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
So like I was saying that to say, you don't
necessarily have to get down here and do these crunches.
You don't have to do these push ups. You still
can be active just by walking more.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, I uh. You know, when I first moved to Charlotte,
I was working in Corporate America and doing a lot
of call center jobs and like you said, just sitting
down on the computer making phone calls and whatnot throughout
the day. And and what I call it my television
workout or commercial workout. You know, I watched TV a
lot when I got home just to relax, and my
(32:22):
downtown was just watching television, not really being on the phone,
because that's what I did all throughout the day. So
I called it my my my TV workout. So every
time I'm watching television, a commercial come on, that's two
minutes to whether it's get up, do some knee highs,
some jumping jacks or whatever. I did that a lot
in my twenties, Like you're saying, because it's burn down,
it cuts off your blood circulation and all of these
(32:44):
things you're getting belcrows veins and you know, all of
these other things that can affect you, you know, long term.
So it's just again just having the the the intent
again to get up and say, you know what, I
got two minutes between my show right here, I can
do something, whether it's some push whatever, you can.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
I do want you to know though, if somebody was
watching you doing that, they do think that you're crazy
today doing what.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
You're working out.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Oh yeah, but again it's already time.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
You know.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
You definitely within that time frame you're watching an hour show,
you're going to get at least twenty minutes of a
workout in.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Wow, that's smart TV, you.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Super smart?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
I used to do that.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
When I was in high school, and I was like
I was a workout like Thaniac. When when when I
was in high school, right and uh i uh I
used to do the uh. I was like we have
to read books or whatever stuff. But and I would
read a chapter and then I'll pump out one hundred
push ups after that chapter and I would read another
(33:48):
chapter one hundred countries and I would do that throughout,
like the you know, the process of reading a book
man every day and uh so, like that's that's like,
but I like the TV workout man.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I've never heard that before. Try to see.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
When I'm reading a book, bro, it's like me, I'll
come across five words that I don't understand or don't know,
so I'm like, reading the book is like going to
a class for me. Sometimes I'll have to let me
read this, let me look this word up so I
can confirm what it means, and I'm out of it.
It's like it's a mental workout for me in that sense,
you know, unless it's something I'm it's a very simple book.
(34:23):
But I ain't saying all books are simple, but I
tend to if I don't understand the word, I'm going
to look it up so that I understand the context
of it and add a new word to my vocabulary
within that. So it's just I don't I see what
you're saying, like at the end of it, but I'm
so mentally drained sometimes when I'm reading a book and
trying to gather what I just will process what I
just read that. I'm not about to give you the
(34:44):
one hundred push ups some crunches after that, bro, like
I'm gonna fall out.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Yeah, I mean typically, like I start my day off
with an hour of cardio, or you know, we have
a gym, a stationary bike that I hop on. I'll
be playing spades on the phone while I'm getting ten
miles in and got a rowing machine and do that
for about ten fifteen minutes and jump rope. So you
(35:11):
know that starts my day. Get up, pray, and get
some cardio in before you do anything else.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
I'm gonna tell you another thing I've picked up man,
while I've been out here on this road. Even if
you're not eating healthy, if you first thing in the morning,
before you eat anything, and you do this at night
as well, if you'll do twenty body squats, what I've
learned that it does. It boosts your metabolism rate up
(35:42):
to keep your blood flowing so that you're, you know,
knocking down any extra fat that you have on your body.
Well after you've done those twenty body squats. Now I've
gotten it up to forty. Right now, I'll do twenty
and then I'll do like twenty alternating elbow, the knees
or whatever. So I'm getting forty of those in every morning,
four before I lay down at night. So when I'm
(36:02):
even when I'm sitting there driving, my metabolism is hyped up.
Burning fat is burning fat while I'm sleeping and laying down.
And then I'll eat a little bit later once I
feel that urge, and I'll try to get like some
apple sauce or something real light before i start eating
a meal or whatever. And as of lately, I've kicked
up my protein in tape, so I'm eating tuna, you know, salmon,
(36:23):
you know, all of these kind of things just to
kind of get that muscle back, right, Bro.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
I know that a lot of people think that you
got to have a gym membership to get work out,
and you don't need the gym membership everything.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
That and some uh and some you call it resistance bands, bro,
or just or just calisthetics period or it is your.
Speaker 6 (36:43):
Phone, your phone and hook it up tight on YouTube
YouTube exercise video.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
So my my my daughter works out like every day
and it's like she has like a few YouTubers as
she watches and she just does the workout through you
know what they do for like thirty minutes every day
and stuff.
Speaker 5 (37:02):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
And then she also like works on getting her step
set and stuff like that. Man, Like, so you know
what I'm saying, I got her a fit bit to
help her with that. My baby girl gonna be on
the most strongest woman or something. The way she going
at it.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah religiously.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
Oh really yeah, yeah, see that's I love to see it.
Speaker 5 (37:20):
Man.
Speaker 4 (37:20):
You know what I'm saying because like you know, like
this is good developing good habits about that stuff, eating
healthier and stuff like that. Man, Because because I ain't
gonna lie, man, like, you know, our generation ate like
some animals.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
But yeah, and I know that just dis damaged us
long team. Probably just walking.
Speaker 6 (37:39):
Places that you enjoy. If you're a city person and
you like walking, you know, uptown Charlotte and and people watching,
do that. If you enjoy walking on the beach or
walking up mountains, then do that. But yeah, you can
make make activities enjoyable, you know, just say.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
That's why I say I was telling earlier, man, like,
you know, like I walked to lunch most days, you
know what I'm saying, the only time I don't really
want to lunch. Is if I don't have the time
and I gotta get back early or something like that,
or if if if it's rainy.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Like I won't, I won't walk there.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
But like, but outside of that, man like that, I
got enough stuff around me where I can walk and
you know, get step set and stuff like that. Man
like you know, which also helps fild up your metabolism
and everything, or you have a meal too.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
I told my brother that, you know, his big his
big weakness was pepsi coldest. And I told him, I say, bro,
say you don't I say, you don't stay too far
from the gas station. I said, if you want one,
walk to the store and get it. I said, I
guarantee by the time you get there, you're not gonna
want that pepsi. You're gonna want something cold, like some
water or gatorade. Right, And if you want that pepsi
(38:47):
on the way back, go ahead and get it, but
I promise you probably won't want it. And then you're
gonna get to the point like if I gotta walk
to get this pepsi, I don't want a pepsi amore,
you know. So I'm just trying to get them to
mentally train itself in that aspect, like you said, to
get those steps in and ultimately fight that urge as well.
But he's been doing good, you know, lately kicking that one.
So you know he's he's down to not even a
(39:08):
soda a day now. I think he said he's down
in maybe two a week or something like that of
him on that nah.
Speaker 4 (39:13):
Like I was addicted to like vanilla coke Man and
a cherry coke god bro, So I just do me
on that bag.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
And I love vanilla coke Man, like I do it
like if you see me with a vanilla coke right.
Speaker 4 (39:24):
Now, Like I only get it when I'm like in
a bad mood, and like if I experience it's like
if I get a vanilla coke and so Chinese food. Man,
you know, things are rough.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
And it's funny yo. Like like I was talking to
you about the state, how I'm trying to trade my
body in my mind to to wean off of that.
I did the same thing when it came to the
cherry coke, so it's now I don't even I put
it on my calendar every time I drank one. So
and it got to a point to where it was
like every four weeks, so I was getting one once
a month, and now I don't even have to think
(39:59):
of it. I get that urge about once a month,
and I always when I get the urge, I go
check my calendar to see when's the last time I
had an ark soda before I get it, because if
it's being less than three weeks or four weeks, I'm
not messing with it.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
I just gotta lead those empty calories alone. Yeah, man, Yeah,
it's this fellas. All right, we're gonna we're gonna come back,
and we're gonna talk about the silent killers Q alluded to,
like pile ups and stuff like that earlier. We'll talk
about that when we come back. This is a h
gotta say rest in piece of summer.
Speaker 5 (40:32):
Man.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
I ain't gonna even say his name. But I passed
away earlier this year. But every time I see this
person's name, I think about something that he told me.
But man said that, uh uh, well, Olivia Newton John
perform on Saturday Night Live. He locked the door and
his naked sitting there watching it. What so, But I
(40:55):
ain't gonna call his name, man, like you know what
I'm saying. But uh, but that was hilarious.
Speaker 5 (40:59):
Man.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
We used elevel that all the time.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
But this is an Olivia Newton John with physical so
the Good Old Boys Radio show.
Speaker 3 (41:08):
Backing to Good Old Boys forecast, I know it is.
I think I told you about him, Like.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Yeah, yeah, that definitely sounds like it came from him.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
It was hilarious, man.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
But anyway, Uh, recipes of Olivia Newton John too, and
she passed away to lost a.
Speaker 6 (41:29):
Couple of years ago, and my apologies for totally forgetting
about what's his face passing away like ten years ago?
And last week saying that you're still living.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Joe Cocker, Joe Cocker.
Speaker 4 (41:44):
He could rated me on a podcast about Joe Cocker
being dead. He's like, hey dad, He was like, okay,
I'm like that, I don't killed Joe Cocker. Joe Joe
Cocker died a long time ago.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
I died him.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
So, uh, you you mentioned h going to get the
colonoscopy and like I'm clearing out some polyps and stuff.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Man, Like you you're not the first person that I've
talked to in our age range that had experienced that.
Speaker 4 (42:15):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
First off, like, let's talk a little bit about.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
The process of getting a colonoscopy because it's a really
invasive deal. But like you know, like there's a lot
of fear I think among black men that you know,
don't want to go to the colonoscopy, don't want to
get the prostate exam and all that type of stuff
for the same reasons.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
Listen, man, it's it's the if you can go to
the club, go to the bar and leave your drink unattended,
then you can go get a colonoscopy simply because you're
gonna be sedated and and and it's just like he said.
He initially you have to get certain things you can't
eat prior to the surgery. Uh, they get you prepped
(42:56):
afterward as far as what you can eat just to
kind of wing yourself back on the solids and whatnot.
But you have to, you know, take the diuretic or
whatnot to clean out your system so that once they
get the camera in there, they can see everything clearly.
It's like I chose to take the it's a two
two liter like drinks or whatever to get out and
(43:18):
it I mean, you knock them down so fast and
I was chasing it with water so I can't see
here and say I was enjoying it like a gatorade
or nothing. But it's not anything you're gonna want to buy,
you know what I'm saying. But me personally, I didn't
even need the second one. I just drank it because
they told me to make sure I finished the liquids
before the surgery. Because after I finished the first bottle,
(43:38):
I can already tell that I was cleared out, you
know what I'm saying. So I just finished that out, man.
And that just sounds like so like strong, but yeah,
Like honestly, it wasn't like you know, like you think
like if you have diarrhea or something like that. It
wasn't like a feeling or experience like that. It was
just you basically peeing from the other end at the
(43:58):
end of the day. Because it's just it's kind of
like like seriously, I don't know how else to explain it,
Like you're there, your your walls are being stripped down,
bro like period, Like you.
Speaker 5 (44:11):
Know, so you can't go more than ten feet away
from the toilet.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Death Oh nah, you chilling at home that day most definitely, man.
And you know I had to have my cousin come
pick me up.
Speaker 5 (44:21):
You know.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
I don't recall being I remember the lady giving me
the anesthesia, but I don't recall falling out. When I
was waking up, I think my cousin was already there
and we were I was being wheeled out to the car.
You know, it was very quick. It was you know, hey,
they got to woo you out. Yeah, they cause you
still sedate it. You still sit it for the most part.
You can't drive yourself after that one.
Speaker 4 (44:43):
Man. And so it's like a like a real like surgery,
like you gotta get put under and stuff. Oh yeah,
most definitely, man.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (44:51):
So you know it's like I said, it was cool man,
Like I mean, it wasn't what I thought it was
going to be, and it scared me in that regards.
And again I'm I went through with it. And like
I said, being you know that they found those polyps.
I have to still go back in what three years now,
just to get rechecked and make sure nothing else is developing.
But it's just something you just want to stay on
(45:12):
top of. Man. I know, it seems like it's nothing
like you might look at your teeth and be like, oh,
well there's nothing wrong right here. I'm good. But it
like Trump alluded to earlier or was staying earlier, like, Yo,
it could be something else that's wrong, And it may
not be a rotten tooth. It might be your gum
line or ginger vitis or something like that just causing
other ailments and you just got to stay on top
(45:33):
of things. Man, be again, I keep saying it intent
about it.
Speaker 6 (45:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I had a bone graft done
because I see a periodnis. I've been saying on for
about fifteen years because of gum loss and bone loss.
After I've embracest twice and I was looking. I saw
a pamphlet on the side of the wall, and I
was talking about how gum disease can lead to heart disease,
(46:02):
it could lead to infertility likes it's side effects that
you can never imagine being impacted because of gum disease.
And like I was mentioning earlier, sleep apneas is like
a trigger to other things. I had my cousin, me
(46:22):
and him, we were talking a few weeks ago, and
I told him that I've had like a light bout
of sleep apnea, where like once or twice a month,
I'm sleeping in and then I kind of fall into
a deep sleep where I'm struggling to breathe and then
I'm gasping for air and then I wake up eventually.
So he had told me about this app on Android,
(46:46):
and I'm pretty sure iPhone has it where you can
if you have your phone and a like an Apple
or a Samsung watch, you could test yourself. Two nights,
you sleep with your watch on and it'll tell you
if you have have sleep apne.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
What's the name of this app? I help, I help, Okay, yeah,
that's definitely probably on the I phone.
Speaker 5 (47:11):
Yeah, so I yeah, yeah, I had.
Speaker 6 (47:15):
After my two days of doing it, I found out
that I do do have like a severe case of
sleep apper.
Speaker 2 (47:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (47:23):
So when I see the doctor on September tenth, we're
gonna talk about it. Which I've taken tests. I've taken
tests before, but sleep apnea and it came back negative.
H So that's what I'm saying. It's conflicting. You're always
gonna have conflicting diagnosis. Just like when you you take
your car to multiple places, they're all going to tell
(47:44):
you different things that's wrong with your car, but you
still got to get something fixed or your car going
on the side of the road.
Speaker 4 (47:50):
Yeah, I also want to say, man, if you if
you've been eating like ribs and a bunch of fried
foods for most of your life, man, you definitely want
to like make sure that you get some heart almss
checked out and stuff, man, because like that stuff, like
you know, compounds over decades of eating like that, and uh,
(48:10):
you know a lot of people have left here having
like massive heart attacks not knowing that they're even sick.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Get some roughige in your life, man, clean out your pipes, ruffige, rofige.
That's that's what my grandmother called greens. Oh yeah, you know,
just to get it moving through, man, so that all
of that grease and everything is just like if you
you're putting grease in your kitchen and your kitchen saint man,
you know it gets blocked up. Yeah, what happens inside
(48:38):
of your body, man, And yeah, got to keep some
of that stuff in mind. That science you learn in
junior high will get you through.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
All Right, We're gonna come back and we're going to
talk about having accountability partners or the.
Speaker 3 (48:50):
Full length version of The Good Old Boys Radio Show.
Speaker 4 (48:53):
Follow us on bigs Cloud or check us out on
Pushplaypods dot Com. Back on the Good Ole Boys Forecast
Media Radio Network work. We're talking about being healthy now.
One of the good things about like you know and
and and and this was harder harder to find. But
throughout high school in particularly if you play sports, and
(49:14):
once you got to like college, even uh, I have
workout partners, and then it was very difficult to find
workout partners after I graduated college. And you have to
like hold yourself accountable. That's that It seems like it's
a lot easier if you got somebody that you're partnering
with to work out. And sometimes you can try to
(49:35):
do that now with like the way technology is, you
can like be friends with somebody on my fitness path
or something like that and away you go. But it's
it seems like having an accountability partner and then not
having an accountability partner, uh cause a decrease in my
working out from for myself.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
Uh Personally, I it's fun, but but when I go
to the gym, I'd rather just have some headphones in
and knock out my workout. I tend to talk more
and I might have a more of a cool down
period instead of actually doing so if we're on the
treadmill and doing some cardio, then cool, we can chop
(50:15):
it up a little bit. But I tend to get
sidetracked when I do have somebody that's there with me
and you know, you know, and again it can help
also when it's like okay, if you knock your rep out,
I get my cool down, you're getting yours in it.
So it's a it'll create that pattern. But sometimes I
tend to just talk too much and not focus on,
you know, keeping my core tight and just doing the
basics so that I don't get injured. So I do
(50:37):
prefer to kind of work out by myself. I don't
really do a lot of free weights and stuff anyway,
so you know, but again, teach his own however it
makes you get through the workout whatever, you know, I say,
hold yourself accountable to it and just knocking it out.
It's good to have that person there to say, hey man,
hey it's time to get to the gym today, bro,
and you know, all right, all right, you're right, you're right,
no excuses. Yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (51:00):
Prefer going solo myself because I think a lot of
times people we all move at our own pace, so
I give there's someone that that moves faster and you're
slowing them down that that kind of makes you feel
bad and kind of takes away from the joy and
the experience. Or it could be someone that moves slower
(51:22):
than you and you're you're like, man, I could be
I could get this done in like thirty minutes and
you're making me take you like forty five to fifty minutes.
So a lot of times I just want to do
my own thing. And then you know, yeah, accountability could
just be like someone checking in on you, Yo, did
you get your get your workout in the day. I'm
about to go, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (51:41):
That's just and that's what I mean, Like you know
what I'm saying, like like like we we gotta like
check it like like Sad was my accountability partner in
college because we used to like go and lift wasted
together and stuff a lot, right, but now he used
my accountability partner about making me go to.
Speaker 3 (51:58):
The dotor, you know, saying, so like we gotta like
be there for each other like that.
Speaker 4 (52:02):
Man, But that's not That's gonna wrap it up for
today's edition of The Good Old Boys Radio Show, We're
gonna wrap it up with the roots. If you gotta
start right now and and your journey and being healthy,
then it can start today. And this is one of
my favorite songs by the album. It's called the Date
from the How I Got Over album And guess what
(52:25):
else though, man, we'll see you what I'm saying, and
we out this fucking thing.
