WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:07.080 It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:21.519 Sports Talk seven nine day, now here's Nick Coffee. 3 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.760 So right before we ended our first hour, I mentioned 4 00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.440 I've got that kick. I can feel the kick from 5 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.320 a cup of coffee. I don't drink much coffee. In fact, 6 00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.960 I've only had I think, now, this is my third 7 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.640 cup of coffee in my life. I mean, I've sampled coffee, 8 00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.960 I've had a drink, but it's never been my thing. 9 00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:49.039 But today I've just been dragging ass. And because the 10 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.920 only cup of coffee I've ever had was one prepared 11 00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.240 by the company man himself, mister John Alden, who is 12 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.479 a big time coffee drinker, I mean like I feel. 13 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.880 I mean, I've felt bad asking him, but I did say, hey, 14 00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.799 would you mind making me a cup of coffee? And like, 15 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.359 as soon as those words left my mouth, I felt like, Man, 16 00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.200 I sound like such a pompous ass thinking that this 17 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.799 guy who produces the show, he's also got to run 18 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.159 errands for me, make a sandwich and give me coffee 19 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.760 or something. And I know John knows that I'm not 20 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.400 asking him because of that. It's because literally I've never 21 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:26.599 made a cup of coffee, and I needed the jolt 22 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.079 that you get from coffee, which I've got right now. 23 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.879 But it looked bad whenever our boss was in here, 24 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.640 along with a couple of other folks that you know, 25 00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.319 I guess two assistant program director, a program director and 26 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:43.239 a sales executive were in the studio and John brings 27 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.040 me coffee before the show, and I just. 28 00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:47.400 The object so funny, the objects. 29 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.560 Of that made it look as if I've got him 30 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.319 is like my errand boy, and that is so far 31 00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.799 from the truth. It just it looked bad. And you know, 32 00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.359 thank you John for actually, you know, making coffee. It's 33 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.280 not gonna next time I need coffee, I'll walk with 34 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.760 you to the machine and you'll show me the magic 35 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.040 that you that you perform to give me what you've 36 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.519 given me, which I would imagine it's not that difficult 37 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:08.479 to do, right. 38 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.000 No, But there are times where even whenever I've done it, 39 00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.680 the machine just likes to do its own thing, and 40 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:15.680 sometimes the grounds will go all over the place and. 41 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:16.439 It's a big mess. 42 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:17.960 Well, I don't want that. 43 00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:19.520 That happened actually a few days ago. I thought it 44 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.439 might have happened today. So you just never know, like 45 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.240 it just doesn't happen very often, but it's happened more 46 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.280 often in the last couple of weeks, and it's ever had. 47 00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.240 So you tell me what it is. I'm drinking. This 48 00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:29.840 is just straight black coffee into the. 49 00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.240 Black coffee, and it's a medium roast, so it's kind 50 00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.719 of right in the middle, very vanilla. 51 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.759 So when you say roast, is that is the. 52 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:39.080 Just like the amount of caffeine that's in. That's okay, 53 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.599 That's what I was going to ask. So like medium 54 00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.280 is like medium caffeine level. 55 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:44.719 Sort of, it's kind of it's kind of confusing. So 56 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.719 some people think, and I think I agree with this, 57 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.319 that a light roast gives you more of a jolt 58 00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.560 than a dark roast, okay, And I think it's to 59 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.800 do with how long they do something with the beans. 60 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.080 I don't know exactly how it works, but I always 61 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.240 do a dark roast now for every cup of coffee 62 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.800 because I drink it so frequently, because it's a lower 63 00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:04.800 caffeine kick whenever you do the dark roast, and just 64 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.599 better to do if you drink it, you know, all 65 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:07.599 the time, like I do. 66 00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.199 So I don't I don't like the taste, but I don't. 67 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.719 It doesn't keep me, you know, it's it's not bad 68 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.840 to where I'm like, Nope, can't do it. But you know, 69 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.840 some people drink it for the taste. Are you Are 70 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:21.560 you one of those people? Or is it more have 71 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:22.280 you acquired? 72 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.560 Like it's definitely acquired because whenever I first started drinking coffee, 73 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.960 the main reason I liked it was because I wanted 74 00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.680 a warm drink. And I still like that aspect of it. 75 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.960 But the more that I drank it, the more I 76 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:33.719 like the taste of it. 77 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:34.560 Yeah, And that's I mean. 78 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.479 And know everybody wants to be a bad ass beer drinker. 79 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:39.479 I have no problem in admitting it, and I think 80 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.599 most people, if they're honest, would admit the same thing. 81 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.560 The first time you try to beer, rather it be 82 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.759 a hipster ipa or the lightest beer you can get, 83 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.840 like a bud light, you didn't like it like beer, 84 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.159 like I love cold beer. Gonna have many this weekend, 85 00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.319 like I love. I mean, it's you know, I don't 86 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.520 want to sound like a like it's a huge part 87 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.159 of my life, but like you know, it's I'm gonna 88 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.879 go grab it. I like watching sports drinking beer when 89 00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.319 I go out to dinner, I get a beer with 90 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.840 my meal, and I've acquired the taste for it. But like, 91 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:13.639 I get why anybody who doesn't drink it regularly would 92 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.279 drink it and say, yeah, this isn't you know, this 93 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.639 isn't real, Like this isn't tasty, you know what I'm saying. 94 00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.560 But yet it's just become normal for me to just 95 00:04:22.639 --> 00:04:24.560 you know, I'm watching a game, let me go grab 96 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.839 a cold beer, and I do to the point now 97 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.040 where I'm like, man, that's you know, I enjoy it. 98 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.040 But it was an acquired thing. I think that's probably 99 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:35.800 the case for most people with coffee, right. 100 00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:38.639 Yeah, And I think another additional thing that really kind 101 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.680 of can entice someone to drink a cup of coffee 102 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.279 as the smell, especially if you've got a good flavored coffee. 103 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:43.759 Yeah. 104 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.240 So like I bet iced coffee with all that mocha Chino, 105 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:52.079 I've never had any. Yeah, and I don't like, to me, 106 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.000 that's just fufoo and that's expensive and it's not like 107 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.399 when it comes to like drinking something for taste, I'm 108 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:04.399 pretty basic. Like if I really just am craving something 109 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.600 for a drink, it's usually honestly. 110 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.279 Like a sprite or like a diet coke. 111 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.800 Like I know, when I drink water, it's rarely that 112 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.519 I'm chugging water because I'm thirsty. It's because I realized 113 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.959 the importance of like hydration or like I just got 114 00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.480 done running or something like that. So, yeah, coffee, I 115 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.600 can't see it ever being something that's like a huge 116 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.560 part of you know, my afternoon or morning, you know whatever. 117 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:30.079 But you know, didn't you try to make yourself a 118 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.120 cup of coffee at the old studio. I think you've 119 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:33.959 told me this story before, but like you just couldn't 120 00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:35.879 figure it out, and so you just maybe I'm wrong. 121 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:39.759 No, what happened there is I used to fill up this, Uh. 122 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.720 I used to fill up this this big like thermous 123 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.439 type of you know, mug thing, if that makes sense, 124 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.120 like a big water. And uh, I didn't realize, Like 125 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.199 long story short, the same water you like make coffee in, 126 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:57.040 the same thing you make coffee in. 127 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:57.759 It is the same thing we. 128 00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.920 Get water from at the old place, Okay, And I 129 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.839 didn't realize it was turned to hot still from coffee 130 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.759 and I and because this is like something where it 131 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:09.160 stays cold like to the touch of my of what 132 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.920 I was holding it didn't I didn't know if it 133 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.800 was hot or cold. But then I took a drink 134 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.639 of it and it was nearly burned my mouth off. 135 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.160 So that was my experience when like understanding like how 136 00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.360 the whole coffee thing works. But this cup that you've 137 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:22.959 made me is good and it's given me a nice 138 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.120 little kick and I needed it. I uh, when I 139 00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.879 tell you guys that I'm kind of an adult, kind 140 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.439 of not, it's it's just not. I mean again, why 141 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:30.920 would that make me look good? It makes me look 142 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.959 like an idiot. But at least I'm transparent with you. 143 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.399 I gave I didn't give blood today because I donated it. 144 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:37.800 I could lie to you and say that I just 145 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.800 decided to go donate blood to be a good human. 146 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.360 I had to get blood work done today and it 147 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:49.160 was the once every six months I get like four 148 00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.560 or five of those big tubes of blood taken from me. 149 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.319 That's different than I think the typical lab work that 150 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.480 I have to get from time to time. And it's 151 00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:58.920 been a while since it happened, and it was it 152 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:00.639 was it was frustrat reading. So I went to my 153 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:03.759 dermatologist and they have the ability to like take blood. 154 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:04.199 I mean, I'm just. 155 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.600 Gonna give you a full story here, because I'm just 156 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.279 gonna be honest. I went to the for my check 157 00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.560 in today and they have to check my blood at 158 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:16.759 a level that is, I guess, a little bit more 159 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.600 of an extensive look and a check up before they 160 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.439 can give me medication that I need. 161 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:24.920 So I go there. 162 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.920 It's it's been years since we've been on this whole, 163 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.079 this whole you know, arrangement, if you want to call 164 00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.399 it that, to where I really don't even need to 165 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:37.120 have a big long talk with my doctor, my dermatologist. 166 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.959 It's more of like, hey, you know, things are still 167 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:43.319 going well, medicine's working and you know, good to see you. 168 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.199 So then he says they're gonna come in and they're 169 00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:46.639 gonna poke you. And what he means by that is 170 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.279 they're going to take blood. Well, you know, I don't 171 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.360 know if the people that work at the dermatologists are 172 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.079 a flambotanist or not, but they've taken my blood before 173 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.600 and it's worked. Then they've sent me elsewhere to do 174 00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.160 it before, and I never really knew why. So today, 175 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.959 you know, after I had a no joke thirty second conversation. 176 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.920 Once I left the waiting room and went back to 177 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.439 the you know, to the actual room where the derma 178 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.000 child just came in. We did our Hey, how you doing. 179 00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.759 How was your summer? Things are still good, the medicine's working. 180 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:18.399 And then he said, good to see you. You're looking good, 181 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.759 and you know, we'll have him come in poke and 182 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.480 you'll be good to go and we'll see you in 183 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.480 six months. That was the conversation. Took thirty seconds max. 184 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:29.240 So then the lady comes in and she walks in 185 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:32.759 the door and says, do you have big veins? And 186 00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.519 I didn't never been asked that before. Little intimidated, I 187 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.519 don't know my veins are big or not. Lady, I 188 00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:41.840 mean you take a look, so I said, I told 189 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:44.080 her straight up, I'm not sure. She looked at me 190 00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:46.039 kind of concerned, like what do you mean you don't know, 191 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.240 and I'm like, I don't know, never had a problem before. 192 00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:53.679 So she ends up trying to get blood from my 193 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.120 right arm, and she didn't. She struggled, and she was 194 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.720 like not confident. While she's doing it, she's kind of 195 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.799 jabbing me, and then she's like, we're gonna try this 196 00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.279 other arm. So you know, she apologizes, then she tries 197 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.799 another one, but then she kind of backed out, didn't 198 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:14.240 say anything, and then I got too like those cotton 199 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:16.240 swabs you know what I'm talking about, Yeah, what you're 200 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.039 talking about, like taped on my on my arm where 201 00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.720 you know you would take blood, like you know, you know, 202 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:25.039 right where your arm creases. And I don't watch when 203 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:26.720 I get blood because I don't like to see it. 204 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:28.000 I don't like to see a needle go in me, 205 00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:31.960 like I just can't see it. So she struggled so 206 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.320 badly the first time. I felt like she got enough. 207 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:37.480 But turns out she didn't get anything, but I didn't 208 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.440 know because I wasn't looking. So they jabbed both my arms. 209 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.039 And then a different woman comes in, hands me a 210 00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:48.200 piece of paper and says, you could take this to 211 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.320 any lab corp any You can actually go across the 212 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:54.360 street because there's a hospital a cross the street from 213 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.919 from from their office. And I said, I gotta get 214 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.519 blood work twice today and she's like, no, she didn't 215 00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.720 get anything. And I said, oh, okay, so I saw 216 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.840 so I said, so I have to go elsewhere to 217 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.559 get blood work done. I can't get it done here 218 00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:10.679 She's like, no, we tried and we couldn't do it. 219 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.159 And I'm like, okay, well my blood work is going 220 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.720 to depend upon me getting medication that I need if 221 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.240 she if they if she couldn't get blood, like is 222 00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:20.919 there something wrong? Like I don't want to go over 223 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:23.639 here to this hospital and them not be able to 224 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.360 get blood either, and them jab me up too. I 225 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.840 didn't say that, but I just asked the question directly. 226 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:29.759 If she couldn't get blood, do you think they're going 227 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.559 to have an issue? And she was real defensive, like well, 228 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.600 we're not flumbotanists. That's their job, so they'll be able 229 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.320 to do it. And I'm looking at her like what, 230 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:41.879 like then, why would you Why would you try? If 231 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.080 you're telling me you're qualified to do so, why did 232 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.919 you try to take blood for me and fail miserably 233 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.720 getting nothing and jab up both my arms. I didn't 234 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.279 say that, but I had to look on my face 235 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.000 and I said so, like do I need to come 236 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.320 back here afterwards? She's like no, we'll get a report 237 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.279 of it whenever they when they submit it, and I'm 238 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:01.080 just kind of looking around like I feel like I'm 239 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.840 in a Seinfeld episode, like wait, a second, like, if 240 00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.360 you're telling me you couldn't get blood but it wasn't 241 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.799 your fault because you're not a flambotanist, then why did 242 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.679 you try? And I overheard my dermatologist, whom I it's 243 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.519 some drama here. My main physician has told me for 244 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.559 the last two times i've seen her that I need 245 00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.960 to go to a different dermatologist because I don't know 246 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.360 if she's got beef with my guy. But she's like, nah, 247 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.480 he ain't. He ain't looking out for you, bro, Like 248 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:31.600 you got to go to my guy. But I've had 249 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.519 this milk. I've had the same dermatologists since I had 250 00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.000 this issue, and things have been good. But today, I 251 00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:39.360 mean I got like two like I mean, I don't 252 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.840 even see it, John, Like I can see that that's yeah, 253 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.679 and and it's from when they didn't get blood, and 254 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:48.360 like that terrify And so I overheard, you know once, 255 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.879 I was like, I mean, I probably said ten words total, 256 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:57.279 but I was like, so I just looked confused, and 257 00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.840 her response was more to be defensive, like, well, we're not. 258 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.799 Then why why'd you try to stab me? Why you're 259 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:05.639 telling me you had somebody try to take blood for 260 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.320 me that does not know what. 261 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:07.720 They're doing, like, why would you do that? 262 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.600 So you know, I didn't say that, but then I 263 00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.360 could hear the woman who, unfortunately, like I had, I 264 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:15.039 had more heat towards the woman who came in and 265 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.480 handed me the paper and told me to go next 266 00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.919 door than I did the woman who failed to get 267 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:23.159 blood out of me. So I could hear her telling 268 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.919 the dermatologists like that, I guess she failed again. 269 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.679 I mean she'd say those words and like. 270 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.919 Nobody would face me, nobody would look nobody would look 271 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.200 me in the eye on my way out of my 272 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.480 dermatologists because they realized that, yeah, that was probably a 273 00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.039 pretty crappy thing that happened here. To my guy, he's 274 00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.159 in here to get blood work done. We're not really like, 275 00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:44.279 we'll try, but we're not really responsible. So if we 276 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.279 can't get blood, we'll just jab you up a little 277 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.879 bit then send you next door. 278 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:49.480 So I was very frustrated. 279 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.639 I go over to the fine folks at you have 280 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:53.440 l Health and I said, I got this paper, I'm 281 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:55.200 not sure if I'm in the right place, and I 282 00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.360 had a hoodie on. I took my hoodie off, and 283 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.360 of course she said, did you just come from over there, 284 00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:03.639 and I said, yeah, they they couldn't get blood, and 285 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:06.480 she looked at me like what. So then I take 286 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.840 my bandages off to show her both arms jabbed. No 287 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:16.159 blood sample was taken, and she was like, oh my gosh, 288 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.000 like what happened? And I'm like, I don't know. And 289 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.399 on one side, it's not as bad. The other side, 290 00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.320 she said, it looked as if she tried like eight 291 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:29.320 times to get a vein and couldn't do it, and 292 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.279 it's the veins right here. And I was like, yeah, 293 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.480 I guess because I don't look when people take blood. 294 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.720 I don't want to see that. I just don't like 295 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.039 to watch that. It, you know, makes me lightheaded, and 296 00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:39.639 I don't, you know, I just I'm I'm I don't 297 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:41.759 want to see it. She's like, well that makes little sense, 298 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.320 but like I'm not sure what she was trying to do. 299 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.840 And I said, yeah, me neither, lady. I didn't say lady, 300 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.279 but I'm just like, yeah, I'm not sure either, and 301 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.919 she I mean, I hope no. I mean, all I 302 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.480 did was do what they told me to do. I 303 00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:53.919 left there because they couldn't take blood. I went across 304 00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:56.240 the street to a hospital, they took blood, and they 305 00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:00.559 were alarmed by what I showed up as somebody who 306 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:03.399 they're trying to take blood from somebody when they weren't 307 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:06.000 able to actually do it effectively. And I don't know 308 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:07.799 if somebody's gonna get in trouble or what, but like 309 00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:10.240 I was super frustrated about the whole experience. 310 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:13.759 And then again me not just like you know, my 311 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:15.679 brain didn't work very well. 312 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.840 Like I never thought about it that like taking having 313 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:22.600 a lot of blood taken from you for medical reasons 314 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.519 or whatever, like it can make you really tired. I 315 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.840 almost fell asleep on the way here today, like not 316 00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.879 I mean, in which now that I say it out loud, 317 00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:31.639 I probably almost passed out dropping. 318 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:32.799 Yeah, you very well could have. 319 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:35.679 I don't know if they told you or most whenever 320 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:38.679 you actually donate blood, they and I know that's not 321 00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.720 what you were doing. Yeah, they normally have like a 322 00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:43.360 snack table or something for people afterwards, so they can 323 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:45.279 kind of, you know, get that get their blood sugar 324 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:47.399 back up, whatever it may be. And if you didn't 325 00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:49.320 eat nothing and you got rid of a whole bunch 326 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:51.399 of blood, I mean I could you definitely could have passed. 327 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:54.320 Well, they asked me whenever I showed up to get 328 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.080 to the hospital, like to the it's it's the it's 329 00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:58.840 it's the it's you of a hospital that's on the 330 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.440 off of the Brooks at s off sixty five. Yeah, 331 00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.399 so they just asked, like, do I usually get lightheaded? 332 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.639 And I said no, and I felt fine, like when 333 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.919 I honestly, when I left there, I felt okay. It 334 00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.240 took later in the day for me to realize that 335 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:16.120 I was really like, for some reason, I was unexplainably exhaustible, exhausted. 336 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.440 But the explanation is because I gave up a lot 337 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.320 of blood and I hadn't need a whole lot yet. 338 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:21.360 So I've said I. 339 00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.960 Had something to eat for the show, and then John's 340 00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.080 giving me this coffee. So now I've got this nice kick, 341 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.279 this nice boost of energy. 342 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.519 But yeah, just to. 343 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.799 That's I swear my life My life is a Seinfeld episode, 344 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:37.600 I swear. And you know, now I have like full 345 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.960 like reason to actually take my physician up on her request, 346 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.279 and that is that I go to a different dermatologist, 347 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.200 because I mean, do. 348 00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:48.759 You think they knew as you were leaving, like this 349 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:50.000 will be the last time we see him? 350 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:50.919 I don't. 351 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.960 I have no clue because you know they're going to 352 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.879 be fine without me. But I did, for the first 353 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.840 time ever in a healthcare type setting, feel as if 354 00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:03.519 they knew there was nothing they could say to not 355 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.360 make me feel the way I felt about that experience. 356 00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.639 And I'll just what, I'll what, I what. I come 357 00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.159 back like again, the woman trying to get blood and 358 00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:14.759 not being able to do it is one thing, like 359 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.639 that's unfortunate. 360 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:16.320 It could have been me. 361 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.039 It could have been that I was not hydrated, that 362 00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.519 I had veins that were tough to get.
