me? Very patiently waiting for the audio to work.

00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.020
Chad Taylor's grandfather, George Taylor. No.

00:03:56.979 --> 00:03:59.979
Hello. No relation. Hello, I'm George Taylor.

00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:03.360
Not a direct relation, at least. Oh. Well, my

00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.870
grandfather was a bigamist. There we go, Troy

00:04:06.870 --> 00:04:12.289
says. Okay. We're good. We're in. There's been

00:04:12.289 --> 00:04:16.230
no proof. Right. So the only proof in the pudding

00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:20.889
was when you and Chad docked. The Taylors became

00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:24.490
Taylors. Hey, now. I guess I got to tell the

00:04:24.490 --> 00:04:28.389
whole story again. Yep, all over again. We're

00:04:28.389 --> 00:04:31.550
here to talk about George Taylor's new book.

00:04:32.230 --> 00:04:35.829
Check it out. You can buy it on Amazon. And in

00:04:35.829 --> 00:04:41.850
this book, George talks about his experience

00:04:41.850 --> 00:04:44.509
with having a heart attack. And we were on a

00:04:44.509 --> 00:04:47.509
hike together in Rocky Ridge State Park in York

00:04:47.509 --> 00:04:51.930
County, Pennsylvania. And we were deep in the

00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:55.329
woods, hiking through the terrain. And as we

00:04:55.329 --> 00:04:57.910
got to the access road, George started to feel

00:04:57.910 --> 00:05:00.629
dizzy. So he sat down a little bit and then he

00:05:00.629 --> 00:05:03.060
felt like he could go on. So we walked. a few

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:06.860
more yards and he suddenly collapsed and i those

00:05:06.860 --> 00:05:10.279
are crickets from your brush right and i helped

00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.920
him down and and on his way down he broke his

00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.459
ankle we found that out later it was you know

00:05:16.459 --> 00:05:18.420
he kind of became obviously dead weight and just

00:05:18.420 --> 00:05:21.959
fell over uh so i started uh i could tell he

00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:24.620
was in distress obviously either having a seizure

00:05:24.620 --> 00:05:27.519
that's what that was my first thought but then

00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:29.240
it was kind of became more apparent that he was

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.319
having a heart attack and so i called 9 -1 -1

00:05:32.579 --> 00:05:36.839
I began CPR and I'm a drummer, but I was doing

00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:41.680
it fast. So I slowed down my pace and the new

00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.160
rules for CPR say no mouth to mouth, but the

00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.540
911 operator here in lovely York, Pennsylvania

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:48.240
was telling me to perform mouth to mouth. So

00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.120
I was doing that. I had to wipe away foam from

00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.079
George's mouth. What a man you are. And I did

00:05:56.079 --> 00:06:02.220
that. And I did a few breaths and then Pumped,

00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:05.279
you know, doing the CPR on the chest and I broke

00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.180
some ribs. Sorry, George. Did you tickle his

00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:10.879
taint a little bit? I did not. No. Okay. Go to

00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.680
his nether regions. No. And then I did one full

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.939
round of breath, a second full round of breath.

00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:20.879
I was gagging the whole time. And then I thought

00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.019
to myself, if he tells me to do breaths again,

00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:25.699
I'm not doing it. And if George, if this is why

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:28.569
George, poor George passes away, then. It's in

00:06:28.569 --> 00:06:30.670
God's hands because I just couldn't breathe anymore.

00:06:30.949 --> 00:06:34.189
So be it. So I did CPR for about, I don't know,

00:06:34.189 --> 00:06:37.050
12 to 15 minutes, something like that. EMS arrives.

00:06:37.930 --> 00:06:41.490
They take over. Thank God. I was exhausted. So

00:06:41.490 --> 00:06:44.930
I was sitting back about 10 to 15 feet on a log.

00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:48.009
And everyone's kind of working around him. And

00:06:48.009 --> 00:06:49.610
all of a sudden, everyone starts going, ow, ow.

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.180
And it turns out that someone stepped on a yellow

00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:54.560
jacket nest in the ground and it was right off

00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.939
the trail where we were. My God. Everyone started

00:06:56.939 --> 00:07:01.720
getting stung. A cop grabs George by the ankle

00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.620
and drags him down the trail 15, 20 feet. And

00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:07.439
they continue to work on him. They get him into

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.180
the ambulance and they did get a pulse once they

00:07:10.180 --> 00:07:11.980
got him in the ambulance. So now I'm working

00:07:11.980 --> 00:07:15.040
with, I'm talking to the police and going over

00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.139
everything. And at this point, I just, I had

00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:20.939
no other thing to do but leave. So I get in the

00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:23.319
car and now the access road to the park is blocked

00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.500
by all the trucks that are, you know, have George

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:32.079
in the back. And I'm like second in line in the

00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.420
traffic. And there's a guy in front of me and

00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:38.060
he's, he comes back and says, oh, when they take

00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:40.879
this long, the guy's dead. Wow. And I was like,

00:07:40.939 --> 00:07:43.060
what? I was like, that's my friend. Like I just

00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:45.620
did CPR on him. He's like, yeah. Yeah, when they

00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:47.220
take this long, he's probably dead. And I'm like,

00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.560
Jesus fucking Christ. So I was kind of freaking

00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.540
out. And what had happened was they had to call

00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:56.600
in a whole other EMS crew because there were

00:07:56.600 --> 00:07:58.579
people going into shock from being stung by the

00:07:58.579 --> 00:08:02.420
Yellow Jackets. Wow. And so that's what caused

00:08:02.420 --> 00:08:05.879
the delay. So they got a pulse on George. They

00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.379
got him, you know, his heart pumping again, took

00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:11.660
him to the hospital. And then I went to visit

00:08:11.660 --> 00:08:15.790
George right after and he had. Amnesia was amazing.

00:08:15.970 --> 00:08:20.269
It was like, why am I here? It was fucking wild,

00:08:20.329 --> 00:08:22.089
actually. I was like, wow. My first comment,

00:08:22.269 --> 00:08:26.810
I called one of my doctor friends. I said, Charles,

00:08:26.990 --> 00:08:33.210
where am I? I don't trust anyone here. I need

00:08:33.210 --> 00:08:35.570
you to find out what's going on. And he, of course,

00:08:35.570 --> 00:08:38.590
then talked to the staff and found out what was

00:08:38.590 --> 00:08:44.389
going on. And I was satisfied. And then for a

00:08:44.389 --> 00:08:46.490
little while, then he forgot. And then an hour

00:08:46.490 --> 00:08:49.929
later, I called him again. Yes. And I called

00:08:49.929 --> 00:08:52.350
Charles six times until three o 'clock in the

00:08:52.350 --> 00:08:55.850
morning. And the final time in the morning, he

00:08:55.850 --> 00:08:58.610
hung up on me and says, you know, I'm done. The

00:08:58.610 --> 00:09:03.610
dishes are done, man. I told you 900 times. You

00:09:03.610 --> 00:09:06.809
are pigheaded and I can't take it anymore. Yeah.

00:09:07.629 --> 00:09:10.350
George, when you're in that state, is it a cool

00:09:10.350 --> 00:09:14.250
state to be in? Like not knowing, remembering

00:09:14.250 --> 00:09:18.809
and all that stuff and not being so like connected?

00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:21.940
I don't think there's anything cool about it.

00:09:22.019 --> 00:09:25.919
Okay. I mean, number one is that I have no real

00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.580
memories. And really what happened is, you know,

00:09:28.580 --> 00:09:33.179
there was some loss of blood to the head, you

00:09:33.179 --> 00:09:35.600
know, the brain. And so therefore I just had

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:39.960
like six days of very mixed up memories. And

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:43.460
I remember seeing in the hospital on the board

00:09:43.460 --> 00:09:47.220
it said short -term memory problems. And I said,

00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:52.259
what's that mean? Who's that for? Who's that

00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:58.220
for? But anyways, and, you know, it turns out,

00:09:58.220 --> 00:10:01.600
you know, I didn't have any idea that I had any

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.399
problems before this. And what I found out is

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.940
that I broke my leg. I had a spiral fracture

00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:11.500
in my left ankle. It was very inconvenient but

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:13.919
did not require surgery. Just a walking boot

00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:19.350
for, you know, a month or two. In my heart, I

00:10:19.350 --> 00:10:25.509
had three major bypasses, which is arteries across

00:10:25.509 --> 00:10:30.730
my chest. In my neck, I had carotid arteries.

00:10:31.029 --> 00:10:34.049
Both sides were completely blocked, 95 % and

00:10:34.049 --> 00:10:37.929
90%. Oh, my God. So they had to put stents in

00:10:37.929 --> 00:10:39.809
first before they did the open -heart surgery.

00:10:40.210 --> 00:10:44.450
Wow. I wouldn't have got enough blood to the

00:10:44.450 --> 00:10:46.710
brain to do things. George was a walking time

00:10:46.710 --> 00:10:50.509
bomb. Yeah, man. And worse than that, when I

00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:53.789
found out that I was diabetic, stage two diabetes.

00:10:54.929 --> 00:10:57.370
Jesus. Which basically meant, you know, no carbs

00:10:57.370 --> 00:10:59.529
and, you know, I didn't have to take any medication.

00:10:59.529 --> 00:11:02.289
And no more hookers. Jesus Christ, George. Right.

00:11:04.210 --> 00:11:06.710
I had been lighting up on the hookers for quite

00:11:06.710 --> 00:11:09.110
some time. Okay, good, good, good for you. A

00:11:09.110 --> 00:11:13.179
long, long time. A long time, yes. 30 or 40 years.

00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:18.919
Good. But anyways, so it was kind of interesting,

00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:20.500
you know, going through this whole experience,

00:11:20.580 --> 00:11:23.759
but I had no, no memory of any of it. And matter

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.700
of fact, a couple of days later, I'm looking,

00:11:25.779 --> 00:11:29.679
feeling my hair. It's really short. I said, I

00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.379
got my haircut. So I asked Chad, did you get

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:34.340
a haircut? He said, yeah, we got a haircut that

00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:38.279
morning. And I said, no way. I looked at my phone.

00:11:39.019 --> 00:11:41.100
And I had a picture of the guy who gave me the

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:44.720
haircut. Okay. On my phone. We have no idea at

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:47.940
which place it was. Chad wasn't sure, but I really

00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:48.879
should go find the guy. I don't know where I

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:53.220
went. We don't remember which barbershop we went

00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:57.100
to. Isn't it kind of cool being that blissfully

00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:05.220
brain vagrant? What is the word? Vacant. There

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:08.620
you go. He's not a vagrant. Well, yeah, unfortunately,

00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:10.779
it didn't clear out my brain. What it did is

00:12:10.779 --> 00:12:13.259
it just jumbled everything. Right. So I kind

00:12:13.259 --> 00:12:15.159
of felt like it was computer files that were

00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.399
all misfiled. Like, I remember things, but I

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.980
remember in fragments, you know, names. Like,

00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:22.940
I'd be talking to someone, and I wouldn't remember

00:12:22.940 --> 00:12:25.840
their name. And when they'd tell me the name,

00:12:25.899 --> 00:12:28.120
I would say, yeah, that's the right person. But

00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.039
I had no clue. Like, I couldn't recall it. And

00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.779
so I had to use my phone quite a bit, you know,

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.039
with names and stuff just to, you know. figure

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.059
out who everyone was because I didn't know. Now,

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.139
George, are you thinking you're going to get

00:12:41.139 --> 00:12:43.299
your scruples back at some point or are you thinking

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:46.440
this is it forever? At that time, I wasn't thinking.

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.360
Right. Okay. So, you know, and that was the hardest

00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.480
part about it is that I had no self -awareness

00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.659
how screwed up I was. Right. We were doing some

00:12:57.659 --> 00:13:00.740
appointments at the time and, you know, my friend

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:04.250
Bill basically said, You can't talk to anyone

00:13:04.250 --> 00:13:05.889
without having someone else on the phone with

00:13:05.889 --> 00:13:09.110
you. And I'm like, what? I've always done things

00:13:09.110 --> 00:13:12.490
on my own. I'm very independent, and I'm pretty

00:13:12.490 --> 00:13:16.250
good at what I do. And you're okay at what you

00:13:16.250 --> 00:13:21.730
do. I mean, I'm sometimes okay. But so anyways,

00:13:22.110 --> 00:13:25.610
so I didn't realize how ineffective I was. And

00:13:25.610 --> 00:13:29.789
as I got smarter. or back to where I was, it

00:13:29.789 --> 00:13:33.470
was kind of embarrassing how much I had lost.

00:13:34.269 --> 00:13:37.629
And so I've had to do a lot of rehab. I mean,

00:13:37.649 --> 00:13:40.669
I was basically in the hospital for four weeks

00:13:40.669 --> 00:13:49.009
at York Hospital, the main hospital. And I wasn't

00:13:49.009 --> 00:13:50.529
allowed to walk because I had a broken ankle.

00:13:50.690 --> 00:13:53.110
So they put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me

00:13:53.110 --> 00:13:56.570
all over. So I had x -rays and CAT scans and

00:13:56.570 --> 00:13:59.710
blah, blah, blah. You were a nurse's dream, I

00:13:59.710 --> 00:14:04.129
bet. Nurses love me. I'm not sure why. You're

00:14:04.129 --> 00:14:07.269
like, hey, I need another ball bag cleaning.

00:14:07.970 --> 00:14:11.889
Of course. I didn't listen to them. They told

00:14:11.889 --> 00:14:14.110
me I couldn't get up. I tried to get up. I made

00:14:14.110 --> 00:14:19.429
a usual story. I told everyone. I was told I

00:14:19.429 --> 00:14:21.649
told everyone that I was going to do an Ironman

00:14:21.649 --> 00:14:25.470
again, which is a long triathlon. I had to recover.

00:14:25.830 --> 00:14:27.840
Everyone's like, You can't even walk. I think

00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:29.580
you're fresh out of surgery and you're asking

00:14:29.580 --> 00:14:31.960
the doctor when you can do an Ironman again.

00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.659
I wouldn't recommend it. Is he being serious

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:42.000
though, Chad? I was dead serious. Wow. There's

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.340
such an ego on you, George. By the way, George

00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:48.299
has done many Ironman. I wasn't doing something

00:14:48.299 --> 00:14:50.120
I couldn't do. There's something I just couldn't

00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.299
do now. I might be able to do something in the

00:14:52.299 --> 00:14:55.509
future. Not quite yet. We're going to arm wrestle

00:14:55.509 --> 00:15:00.470
after the podcast, by the way. But anyways, so

00:15:00.470 --> 00:15:03.129
I had, you know, four weeks in the hospital.

00:15:03.210 --> 00:15:06.769
And then I went over to Apple Hill Rehab Hospital,

00:15:06.909 --> 00:15:10.350
which is a whole, you know, separate place. And

00:15:10.350 --> 00:15:12.710
I was there for three weeks. And, you know, and

00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:15.629
again, I had to learn how to walk. Wow. I had

00:15:15.629 --> 00:15:18.950
to learn how to, you know, we actually worked

00:15:18.950 --> 00:15:21.529
on going to the kitchen and picking up dishes.

00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:24.490
I mean. My God. I had to be retrained on everything

00:15:24.490 --> 00:15:29.129
because nothing worked. So my whole brain just

00:15:29.129 --> 00:15:34.570
had to be rewired. And it was quite an experience.

00:15:34.870 --> 00:15:36.669
You got to go back and tell the part about how

00:15:36.669 --> 00:15:39.909
integral Bill was. Bill jumped into action. Yeah.

00:15:39.970 --> 00:15:43.529
So we got Chad Gracie, who's the rock star. Yes.

00:15:44.070 --> 00:15:46.870
And so my recommendation, if you want to live,

00:15:47.090 --> 00:15:51.240
you should hype with Chad Gracie. Where else

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:53.179
do you have someone who can do 20 minutes of

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:58.679
CPR in perfect cadence? He claimed he was a little

00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.500
fast, but personally, I like the fast ones. What's

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:04.419
crazy about that is we've been on many hikes

00:16:04.419 --> 00:16:06.200
in that park, and we've been way back in the

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:08.960
woods. Had that not happened along the road,

00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:10.879
I don't think you would have made it. Yeah, I

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.159
don't think I would have either. Wow! Because

00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:18.480
we used to do between three and five miles. Rocky

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.639
Ridge is very hilly. It's rocky for a reason.

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:24.480
Right. And there are trails. And we were on the

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:27.019
trail. And I didn't have any idea where it collapsed.

00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:31.039
And so it gets more interesting. So I go back

00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:35.000
there on Saturdays very often and hike. And so

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.399
a couple months later, actually about a year

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.679
later, I ran into a guy, ran into a park ranger.

00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.100
And I went up to his window and I said, you know,

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:46.620
do you remember the guy who had the heart attack?

00:16:47.470 --> 00:16:49.690
He says, yeah, I was the person that was the

00:16:49.690 --> 00:16:52.649
first responder. I got the call. I wasn't on

00:16:52.649 --> 00:16:55.110
property. You're out there in six minutes. I

00:16:55.110 --> 00:16:58.649
got stung 30 times. Right. Oh, he got stung 30

00:16:58.649 --> 00:17:00.669
times. Yeah, he got stung 30 times, and he found

00:17:00.669 --> 00:17:04.670
out that he was not allergic to bees. Thank God.

00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:08.349
But what he also did is he spent three months

00:17:08.349 --> 00:17:12.410
every week spraying the bees' nest to get rid

00:17:12.410 --> 00:17:14.569
of it because it was in the ground. And it was

00:17:14.569 --> 00:17:17.069
huge. And he took me back. And so I didn't have

00:17:17.069 --> 00:17:19.630
any idea where it was. So we actually went back

00:17:19.630 --> 00:17:22.329
and found where we were and found the bees. And

00:17:22.329 --> 00:17:25.549
there were still a couple left. Jesus. Wow. You

00:17:25.549 --> 00:17:28.950
were looking at the dead bees, George? No. The

00:17:28.950 --> 00:17:32.390
hive. Oh, okay. I mean, the bees, I mean, this

00:17:32.390 --> 00:17:36.390
is long after. Saying bees with yellow jackets.

00:17:36.650 --> 00:17:38.990
Yeah, right. Not bees. Those ground -dwelling

00:17:38.990 --> 00:17:42.299
motherfuckers. Pricks. And they go after you.

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.880
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't think I got

00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.200
stung at all because, you know, a couple days

00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.339
later, I did check my body and see if there was

00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:52.059
any welts or anywhere. Yeah, they weren't paying

00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:53.940
attention to you. You were dead. I was dead.

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:56.359
You're right. They're like, hey, old man, we

00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.839
don't need your blood. We like people that run.

00:17:59.940 --> 00:18:01.819
You're right. So the park ranger told you you

00:18:01.819 --> 00:18:05.099
got there in six minutes, so obviously I had

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:06.839
a little time distortion as well. I thought it

00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:09.299
was longer. Well, that was the park ranger. Right.

00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.140
But that wasn't the ambulance. He was there before

00:18:11.140 --> 00:18:13.140
the ambulance. Oh, yeah. I guess we're talking.

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:16.819
Because the ambulance is 20 minutes. Okay. Yeah.

00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.279
So he was there immediately. I forgot about that.

00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.380
Wow. Okay. Yeah. And I got a picture of him,

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:26.180
you know, by the, you know, by the place, you

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:30.779
know, thanking him. Sure. Cool. You should fucking,

00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:34.160
you know. But the other thing is, is that, so

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:36.359
on the pyramid side, because it gets more interesting.

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:43.220
On the paramed side, two, four of the parameds,

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:46.900
you know, that were in the ambulance were admitted

00:18:46.900 --> 00:18:51.039
in the emergency room. And two of them were treated

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.740
for anaphylactic shock and had to stay overnight.

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:57.160
Jesus. Wow. And the reason I know this, it gets

00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.380
even better, is that back, this happened September

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:07.019
3rd. And in November, I. My defibrillator went

00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:09.740
off. And again, when I had the surgery, I had

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:12.559
the defibrillator put in and the pacemaker put

00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:16.400
in. And my defibrillator went off. And I was

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.680
actually, again, on the phone talking to Chad

00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.960
Gracie when it happened. That's with me. Hey,

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:26.359
now. What a connection. And he goes, I told you,

00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.480
I was feeling good. Yeah. And so what happened

00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:34.700
was that it was like 7, 7 o 'clock. I fell asleep,

00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:37.920
and I had a dream. This is my only Autobot experience.

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.519
I was floating in the air, facing upward like

00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.119
this, and I tried to turn downward, and I fell

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.579
back into bed and went back to sleep. So at 7

00:19:48.579 --> 00:19:52.859
o 'clock in the morning, I get buzzed because

00:19:52.859 --> 00:20:00.359
the people that monitor the pacemaker and the

00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.099
defibrillator. you know, don't work overnight.

00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:05.440
So they didn't do anything. But at 7 o 'clock,

00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:07.440
they came in and they saw that it had gone off.

00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:09.859
That's not a 24 -hour monitoring service? You

00:20:09.859 --> 00:20:11.700
would think. They monitor it all the time, but

00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:15.339
they don't man it. Okay, but still. No one's

00:20:15.339 --> 00:20:17.119
calling you at 4 a .m. when it goes off? Hey!

00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:21.059
And it's funny because what they said is that

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:25.039
it went off twice. Oh, shit. And if it goes off

00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:26.640
twice, you have to go to the emergency room.

00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:32.740
Okay, so I got called. you know, the ambulance

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:35.259
came in. And so I'm talking to the guys, you

00:20:35.259 --> 00:20:37.039
know, again, I'm fine at this point. Like I had

00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.539
no, I mean, other than it went off, I had no,

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:42.440
no issues. I don't know if that was a dream.

00:20:43.619 --> 00:20:47.759
You wonder. Yeah. MDE. Floated up out of your

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:50.400
body. You're like, yeah. The defibrillator brought

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.200
you back. Holy shit. Anyway. Yeah. So my, my

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.279
defibrillator went up and my heart was up to

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.960
like two, two 50. That's why the defibrillator.

00:20:58.019 --> 00:21:02.509
Two 50. Oh my God. Jesus. So anyways, so I'm

00:21:02.509 --> 00:21:04.329
in the ambulance and I'm talking to the guys.

00:21:04.349 --> 00:21:06.890
I said, you know, you know, that's like this

00:21:06.890 --> 00:21:12.109
shit. Did you know that about the guy who had

00:21:12.109 --> 00:21:15.170
the heart attack at Rocky Ridge? He goes, oh,

00:21:15.190 --> 00:21:19.829
my God, that was my wife who picked you up. Oh,

00:21:19.930 --> 00:21:24.250
so. So and she she was in a separate ambulance.

00:21:24.990 --> 00:21:30.349
And when I got to your emergency room. She came

00:21:30.349 --> 00:21:34.890
out and said hi. So I met her. Oh, that's cool.

00:21:35.009 --> 00:21:38.029
God bless. And of course, the funniest thing

00:21:38.029 --> 00:21:41.490
is, not funny, but none of the ambulance drivers

00:21:41.490 --> 00:21:45.069
knew that I lived. Oh, shit. Wow. They had no

00:21:45.069 --> 00:21:48.309
information on what happened to me. And matter

00:21:48.309 --> 00:21:50.470
of fact, what she said is, I thought you were

00:21:50.470 --> 00:21:54.130
dead. Wow. That's how bad it was in the ambulance.

00:21:54.410 --> 00:21:59.440
Oh, my God. Wow. Anyways, that's... Be experienced.

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:02.000
And then I had to do a lot of rehab and I've

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.220
been exercising. And then when I decided to do,

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:07.359
I decided to write a book called The Second Chance

00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:11.240
Almanac. Boom shakalaka. And that book basically.

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:13.539
Hold it up again. Yeah. Sorry. There you go.

00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.880
Amazon .com. And we're going to post links and

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:19.940
all that jazz. And George, I'm going to do the

00:22:19.940 --> 00:22:23.579
audio book. I'm going to read it for you. Okay.

00:22:24.140 --> 00:22:26.740
He did not include my name in the book because

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:28.279
he said he didn't have permission, but he didn't

00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:32.000
ask me. Son of a B! You know what I'm saying?

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:34.900
You save a dude's life, you figure you get a

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:38.160
mention or something. Well, you know, this is

00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:43.140
an example of Chad Gracie being graciously quiet.

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:47.619
You know, I've known a lot of rock stars in my

00:22:47.619 --> 00:22:52.410
life. Well, not many. A few. And the one thing

00:22:52.410 --> 00:22:55.769
I love about Chad is that he is not egotistical.

00:22:56.170 --> 00:23:01.650
At all. He is. He picks the corn right out of

00:23:01.650 --> 00:23:04.890
his poop for me to eat. I'll tell you a funny

00:23:04.890 --> 00:23:07.109
story about Chad meeting one of our friends.

00:23:07.529 --> 00:23:12.549
We were at dinner with one of our good friends.

00:23:12.589 --> 00:23:14.529
Speaking of dinner. I won't mention the name

00:23:14.529 --> 00:23:16.930
because I'm not sure I have permission. But his

00:23:16.930 --> 00:23:23.109
son. Oh, her. And I introduced Chad. I said,

00:23:23.150 --> 00:23:25.529
this is Chad. He's the best drummer in the world.

00:23:26.789 --> 00:23:28.910
And he looked at him and goes, no, he isn't.

00:23:28.970 --> 00:23:33.609
Guy from Foreigner is better. Oh, really? Yes.

00:23:34.250 --> 00:23:38.529
And Chad's friend, the father, was just mortified.

00:23:39.369 --> 00:23:41.730
It should be. I didn't take offense. I was like,

00:23:41.809 --> 00:23:45.250
yeah, you're probably right. No way, dude. Foreigner,

00:23:45.329 --> 00:23:49.200
they got some gay drums. I don't even know. You

00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.619
know, who the drummer was for Foreigner. He was

00:23:52.619 --> 00:23:55.400
Tulane. Off the top of my head. He was no Chad

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.400
Gracie. I'll tell you that. So anyway, so I became

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.980
a, you know, obviously I'm a Chad Gracie fan

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:05.039
because without him, I wouldn't be here. You

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:07.279
know, the Foreigner, they're no longer Foreigner.

00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.250
They're illegal. Immigrants. Just so you know.

00:24:10.589 --> 00:24:13.809
They changed their name. They're touring under

00:24:13.809 --> 00:24:15.990
a different act. But the left calls them legal

00:24:15.990 --> 00:24:18.250
immigrants. That's right. The left just calls

00:24:18.250 --> 00:24:26.230
them immigrants. Gracie's got some jokes. Sorry

00:24:26.230 --> 00:24:31.349
guys. No politics. That's just factual. Right.

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:37.180
So the problem is, you know, I was a poli sci

00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:41.339
major in college and I have a major understanding

00:24:41.339 --> 00:24:45.200
of the world we work in. And it was much worse

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.980
than whatever I thought. That's all I'm going

00:24:47.980 --> 00:24:53.519
to say. Wow. So there you go. There it is from

00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.279
George's brain. But can you go a little deeper,

00:24:57.420 --> 00:25:00.259
George? Not on the politics side, but on the

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:04.890
recovery side. Yeah. So, you know. Here's the

00:25:04.890 --> 00:25:10.049
thing that I found out. First of all, most people

00:25:10.049 --> 00:25:15.109
in cardiac do not rehab very well. I mean, you

00:25:15.109 --> 00:25:18.049
go through the, you know, you're assigned to

00:25:18.049 --> 00:25:22.509
go to rehab. You get on a bicycle or a treadmill

00:25:22.509 --> 00:25:25.109
and you do some exercises for 20 minutes in a

00:25:25.109 --> 00:25:29.710
little bit of weights, and it helps. Yeah. But

00:25:29.710 --> 00:25:31.789
after that. they don't really have any instructions

00:25:31.789 --> 00:25:35.109
and there's no instructions about diet and there's

00:25:35.109 --> 00:25:38.890
no instructions about exercise. And so one of

00:25:38.890 --> 00:25:42.529
the reasons I did a second chance look is that

00:25:42.529 --> 00:25:46.829
I wanted to talk about what I did to recover.

00:25:47.109 --> 00:25:50.029
And it's pretty interesting. And, you know, again,

00:25:50.170 --> 00:25:53.089
you know, from a diet standpoint, I was a vegetarian

00:25:53.089 --> 00:25:56.769
for 50 years. I'm sorry to hear that. Well, I,

00:25:57.650 --> 00:26:00.829
you know, I mean, think about all the, The cows

00:26:00.829 --> 00:26:05.630
that I saved over 50 years. Sure, sure. Or chickens

00:26:05.630 --> 00:26:12.170
or whatever. But what I learned with all my studies

00:26:12.170 --> 00:26:19.670
and I studied the nutrition and took it very

00:26:19.670 --> 00:26:24.269
seriously. And again, I had gained a fair amount

00:26:24.269 --> 00:26:28.509
of weight when I was really exercising heavily.

00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:34.779
So I lost that weight. I thought being a vegetarian

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:38.039
was healthier, and it turns out I don't think

00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.779
it was. I ate a lot of carbs, and because I was

00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:46.640
diabetic, the glucose spikes caused a lot of

00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:49.160
the problems. Oh, yeah. And so pretty much the

00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:52.259
conclusion right now is that if you want to treat

00:26:52.259 --> 00:26:55.859
your heart, you don't care about cholesterol.

00:26:56.460 --> 00:27:00.059
You don't care about... eating fat, but you do

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:03.480
care about how much sugar and how many carbohydrates.

00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:08.619
You want to get it down to 20 grams or less a

00:27:08.619 --> 00:27:13.619
day to begin with. 20 grams of carbohydrates.

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:19.339
Really? That's very low. I do 40 or under usually

00:27:19.339 --> 00:27:25.599
for ketosis. 20, I mean, you're barely eating.

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:29.859
You don't need any carbohydrates. You get an

00:27:29.859 --> 00:27:34.000
apple. Apple is 20 grams. Yeah. Bananas, 26.

00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:39.779
Right. But anyways, so, you know, that was one

00:27:39.779 --> 00:27:43.460
thing. And learning, for example, that, you know,

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.039
I used to do saltwater seed oil and sunflower

00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.940
seed oil and all the seed oils. Yeah. Horrible.

00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.160
Horrible. And it's such an easy thing to do.

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:55.660
So just eat, you know, butter. And I didn't.

00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:59.900
I had started using butter for a while, but I

00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:03.140
had probably 20 years of... Grass -fed butter?

00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.319
Grass -fed butter. I love butter. Me too. I just

00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.339
eat it right off the stick. Do you really? Fuck

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:11.319
yeah. Wow, I've never tried it. Is it good? Yeah.

00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:16.000
Wow. Yeah. It's better to use beef tallow or

00:28:16.000 --> 00:28:18.559
butter to cook with. Yeah. Especially beef tallow,

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.160
but yeah. And then obviously olive oil. Olive

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:24.440
oil. You want to get... You know, you want to

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:27.440
get virgin olive oil that's, you know, not. Anything

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:29.619
virgin. We know that, George. We want to make

00:28:29.619 --> 00:28:31.000
sure it's real olive oil, too. There's a lot

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.880
of bullshit. That's true. That's true. So, you

00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.819
know, no desserts. You know, ice cream is gone.

00:28:38.019 --> 00:28:41.240
You know, I'll treat myself maybe once a week

00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:43.220
to a little bit of ice cream, but that's about

00:28:43.220 --> 00:28:48.559
it. I figured, though, I mean, what is your age,

00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:54.289
George? I don't really want to miss. Okay. So

00:28:54.289 --> 00:29:00.829
I would say 62 at the, at the max. Uh, so at

00:29:00.829 --> 00:29:06.369
that age, I love you. Okay. No problem. I'm not

00:29:06.369 --> 00:29:09.769
gay. No intentions, but I love you. Same. Not

00:29:09.769 --> 00:29:12.890
gay either. But here's the thing. Talk to me.

00:29:13.430 --> 00:29:19.730
Uh, my number is no. So as of. A couple days,

00:29:19.930 --> 00:29:23.369
I'll be 69 and a half. Hey, now. And a half.

00:29:23.569 --> 00:29:27.410
And a half. And a half. So in June 25th of next

00:29:27.410 --> 00:29:31.849
year, I'll be 70. Let's go. But I'm feeling healthier

00:29:31.849 --> 00:29:35.250
than I have in probably 15 years. Good for you.

00:29:35.349 --> 00:29:38.190
It's awesome. So I'm feeling I'm getting younger,

00:29:38.269 --> 00:29:40.589
not older at this point. And you count that from

00:29:40.589 --> 00:29:43.849
the sugars and carbs that you're taking out?

00:29:43.950 --> 00:29:46.509
Well, that and concentrating on sleep. Yeah.

00:29:46.549 --> 00:29:48.369
One of the other things is I had sleep apnea.

00:29:48.910 --> 00:29:51.569
Okay. Because when I got heavier, you know, I

00:29:51.569 --> 00:29:53.529
snored all the time. But when I got heavier,

00:29:53.710 --> 00:29:56.970
I snored worse. Right. And so I had a CPAP machine,

00:29:57.150 --> 00:30:00.069
which, you know, was put on your face and blows

00:30:00.069 --> 00:30:03.589
air and I hated it. Yeah, I think everyone does.

00:30:03.809 --> 00:30:08.150
So what I did is back in January, I did the Inspire

00:30:08.150 --> 00:30:11.990
device, which is basically they insert a monitor

00:30:11.990 --> 00:30:17.299
in your heart that goes up your tongue. Okay.

00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:18.980
It shocks your tongue when you stop breathing.

00:30:19.779 --> 00:30:23.839
So it makes your tongue move out of the way.

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:25.519
That's fucking weird, man. That is so strange.

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:30.799
How does it know? I don't know. Like time? Sensors

00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:34.599
or something. Yeah, sensors. Wow. So, but anyways.

00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.279
And what does it do, though? It allows you to

00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.319
breathe. So you don't need a CPAP machine. Okay.

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:43.779
I mean, I got rid of it. I packed up my CPAP

00:30:43.779 --> 00:30:46.470
machine. And I'm going to throw it away. Yeah,

00:30:46.470 --> 00:30:48.569
fuck yeah. Because there's still a lot of money

00:30:48.569 --> 00:30:50.970
on it or something. Got to reenact the scene

00:30:50.970 --> 00:30:52.849
in the office space where you break it up with

00:30:52.849 --> 00:30:56.029
a fucking baseball bat. Hey, let's go. I'll help.

00:30:56.829 --> 00:30:59.430
So they have like a little electrode on the back

00:30:59.430 --> 00:31:01.789
of your tongue, right? So what happens is there's

00:31:01.789 --> 00:31:06.130
a wire that goes up. Inside his body. That's

00:31:06.130 --> 00:31:11.970
crazy. And then it goes close to right here.

00:31:12.170 --> 00:31:17.480
Okay. Jesus. I mean, it was... And it just kicks

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:19.799
on automatically? Like, you don't need to hit

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:22.460
a button or anything? No, when you go to sleep,

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:24.980
you have a thing, you go and put it on your heart,

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:28.240
push the button, and it beeps, and it's on. Oh,

00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:29.839
so you do have to turn it on. You have to turn

00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.880
it on, and this is important. You get up in the

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:37.759
night, you can't drink anything. Why? Because

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:43.250
it can shock you, and it may choke you. Oh, wait,

00:31:43.329 --> 00:31:46.750
what? That's what they said. I'm not sure. I

00:31:46.750 --> 00:31:48.549
haven't quite figured out the mechanics. But

00:31:48.549 --> 00:31:51.910
anyways, I got paranoid enough so you can turn

00:31:51.910 --> 00:31:54.950
it off. Right. And then you drink some water

00:31:54.950 --> 00:31:56.730
and then you go back. Well, don't lose that little

00:31:56.730 --> 00:31:59.130
device that turns it on and off. Yeah. Oh, my

00:31:59.130 --> 00:32:03.369
God. There's a nice case and I put it in the

00:32:03.369 --> 00:32:07.329
case afterwards. And then you get up in the morning.

00:32:07.369 --> 00:32:10.869
If you're rushing, you're going and you can feel

00:32:10.869 --> 00:32:15.599
it. I don't really feel it, but when you're awake,

00:32:15.700 --> 00:32:18.859
you feel the shock. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, fuck.

00:32:18.940 --> 00:32:22.819
And so, you know, you run over. That's so strange.

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:24.920
That's so strange. So that's called inspire,

00:32:25.140 --> 00:32:27.119
right? Inspire. So if anyone has severe sleep

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:29.799
apnea, look up inspire. Boom, boom. I'm inspired.

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:33.539
I'm inspired by hearing that. Yeah, I mean, 90

00:32:33.539 --> 00:32:37.200
% of the people that use it do well, and then

00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:43.670
10 % of it hate it. I mean, the spouses of the

00:32:43.670 --> 00:32:48.089
CPAP people must love this new device. Yeah,

00:32:48.109 --> 00:32:51.069
because I think that thing is loud at night,

00:32:51.190 --> 00:32:53.220
right? Oh, yeah, it's like fucking. constantly

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:56.200
pumping air into your... I would be like, hey

00:32:56.200 --> 00:33:00.420
lady, get another fucking room. I don't need

00:33:00.420 --> 00:33:05.359
to be that in love. We could do separate bedrooms

00:33:05.359 --> 00:33:09.680
at that point. Sleepers. I won't discuss that.

00:33:11.419 --> 00:33:14.660
Well, well, George, you didn't leave me alone

00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:19.619
last night. Not like that, sir. I like to be

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:25.720
snuggled. Snuggling is fuggling. That's right.

00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:31.579
That is correct, sir. You ever hear of ball bag,

00:33:31.700 --> 00:33:35.799
George? Okay, me either. I don't know why I said

00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:38.259
that, but I thought it sounded cool. You know,

00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:43.720
ball back. No, but do you ever see the bowling

00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:45.880
balls where they actually take the ball and they

00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:50.920
polish them? That's a cool little thing they

00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:53.680
got going on there. Just saying. Just saying.

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:59.980
Don't worry. It's over my head. Somebody else's

00:33:59.980 --> 00:34:02.180
head. Somebody else's head as well. You're not

00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:04.279
on a very conservative... Oh, my goodness. Oh,

00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:08.199
my goodness. I forgot. I forgot. Bless Barack

00:34:08.199 --> 00:34:11.179
Obama, the best president ever. We know that.

00:34:11.300 --> 00:34:15.239
We know that. Anyway. Anyway. He was. He was.

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:18.960
And his name is Hussein. And his name is Hussein.

00:34:19.219 --> 00:34:26.360
I heard there's Obama, Hussein. Barack Hussein.

00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:30.059
The best thing about Barack. Yeah. As a president.

00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:34.340
Is Michael. Michael. This is again, you know,

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:38.400
about prejudice is we learned that a black person,

00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:43.860
the president, you can suck. And we didn't blame

00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:48.159
him for being black. True. True. And that is

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:51.679
the absolute truth. What did Joe Biden call him?

00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:58.210
Clean. Cracky. Cracky Joe. Cracky Joe. Clean.

00:34:58.210 --> 00:35:00.989
Is that what he said? Yeah, there's some quote.

00:35:01.070 --> 00:35:02.489
There's more to it, but he called him clean.

00:35:02.869 --> 00:35:07.010
That's funny, man. He did win a Nobel Peace Prize

00:35:07.010 --> 00:35:11.809
for what? We don't know. Yeah. I mean. But again,

00:35:12.090 --> 00:35:15.110
he caused more damage. Well, I don't know. There

00:35:15.110 --> 00:35:16.889
was a competition. See, that's the problem with

00:35:16.889 --> 00:35:19.969
recent presidents is they try to figure out who

00:35:19.969 --> 00:35:25.030
caused more damage. And I'm not sure who. was

00:35:25.030 --> 00:35:27.690
worse. Well, Operation Crossfire Hurricane cost

00:35:27.690 --> 00:35:32.449
a lot of money. Might have been. Or Joe. I don't

00:35:32.449 --> 00:35:36.369
know. It's a competition, so I think they're

00:35:36.369 --> 00:35:39.230
all... Take a number, get in line, George. I

00:35:39.230 --> 00:35:43.590
would say Joe was just mostly incompetent. Yeah,

00:35:43.590 --> 00:35:47.510
he wasn't evil. I feel like he was. Barack sat

00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:51.369
and presided over one of the worst treasonous

00:35:51.369 --> 00:35:55.699
acts. in U .S. history by basically trying to

00:35:55.699 --> 00:35:59.260
stage a coup against a duly elected president.

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:04.400
Yeah. And knew that it was all false. Yeah. And

00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:07.699
who knew that he was, he had supposedly power

00:36:07.699 --> 00:36:11.659
outside of his presidency too. Like he was doing.

00:36:11.659 --> 00:36:14.579
Joe Bodden was his puppet. Right. Yeah. He was

00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:17.480
running the show. Come on. Come on. I'm going

00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:19.480
to write a book about it. What are you going

00:36:19.480 --> 00:36:22.940
to call it? I don't know. A Third Chance. Well,

00:36:23.460 --> 00:36:25.900
and then we were just, before we got on the podcast,

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:29.039
seeing that Mr. Hunter Biden is on the Sean Ryan

00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:31.719
podcast. Oh. And that should be proved to be

00:36:31.719 --> 00:36:34.320
interesting. I'll definitely watch that. We didn't

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.059
get to actually watch it, but yeah. Who is he

00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:40.800
on? Sean Ryan. Sean Ryan. Yeah. I'm going to

00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.900
try to look it up on Instagram, see if I can

00:36:42.900 --> 00:36:50.920
pull up, you know, a video on what not. Sean

00:36:50.920 --> 00:36:54.500
Ryan. Trump gold cards sold 1 .3 billion in nine

00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:57.239
days. All right. Let's go. Raising money for

00:36:57.239 --> 00:37:02.860
America. Yeah. I mean, people talking smack about

00:37:02.860 --> 00:37:05.079
the ballroom and all that shit. Oh, my God. That's

00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.280
ridiculous, dude. They didn't say shit about

00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:09.780
Barack's basketball court that costs $462 million,

00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:12.900
paid for by the taxpayers. The ballroom costs

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:15.860
nothing for the taxpayers. Sorry. I don't think

00:37:15.860 --> 00:37:19.380
I'm on the right Sean Ryan. I don't know. No.

00:37:20.010 --> 00:37:24.630
It could be, but... It was on TMZ. Oh, that's

00:37:24.630 --> 00:37:29.730
where it was. That's from Instagram. TMZ. You

00:37:29.730 --> 00:37:32.329
know what that stands for, Chad? 30 Mile Zone.

00:37:32.590 --> 00:37:36.369
Yes, you son of a B. I wanted to have something

00:37:36.369 --> 00:37:39.650
cool. 30 Mile Zone around... Oh, I should have

00:37:39.650 --> 00:37:42.849
let you say it. I'm sorry. Oh, gravy, dude. You

00:37:42.849 --> 00:37:48.219
asked. Random facts like that, so... That's good

00:37:48.219 --> 00:37:53.739
on fucking Jeopardy. Maybe. How far back is it?

00:37:54.139 --> 00:37:57.699
There it is right there. This guy. This guy.

00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:09.599
Listen, George. Yeah, legal integration. Legal.

00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:12.519
Oh, you know what? I don't think we're sharing.

00:38:12.619 --> 00:38:15.820
I don't think I shared the... The thing. Oh,

00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:17.659
sharing is not caring. Sharing is not caring.

00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:22.619
I would have had to have gone this way or something.

00:38:22.619 --> 00:38:25.659
Oh, yes. Yeah. But Chad, that wasn't the video.

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:29.719
They're illegally draining us of resources and

00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:33.219
being prioritized above people that are actual

00:38:33.219 --> 00:38:37.079
literal heroes. Whatever your position on the

00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:39.619
things that he did, he did them exceedingly well

00:38:39.619 --> 00:38:43.699
and accomplished them. And he had mistakes like...

00:38:43.820 --> 00:38:46.940
Every other president has had. Some that I may

00:38:46.940 --> 00:38:49.659
disagree with, but absolutely 100%. Had some

00:38:49.659 --> 00:38:52.800
real failures also. The way in which they executed

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.159
the withdrawal from Afghanistan. I think it was

00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:59.360
an obvious failure. I think 13 Marines are dead.

00:38:59.710 --> 00:39:03.289
I think there was a better way to do it. And

00:39:03.289 --> 00:39:06.889
I think that I can blame it on his generals.

00:39:06.929 --> 00:39:08.650
I can blame it on the people the way in which

00:39:08.650 --> 00:39:11.190
we did it. But my dad always knew this also is

00:39:11.190 --> 00:39:13.269
that the bus stops with him. I think that that

00:39:13.269 --> 00:39:15.849
was a failure. I don't think leaving Afghanistan.

00:39:16.570 --> 00:39:19.150
I think leaving Afghanistan was the right thing

00:39:19.150 --> 00:39:22.250
to do. I cannot stand the way the Afghan withdrawal

00:39:22.250 --> 00:39:25.570
happened. Yeah. I don't even want to talk about

00:39:25.570 --> 00:39:28.929
it because it's going to get me into a really

00:39:28.929 --> 00:39:33.889
dark place. I hear your anger. I love Sean. Me

00:39:33.889 --> 00:39:36.530
too. And I'm not here to tell you that you shouldn't

00:39:36.530 --> 00:39:39.630
be angry. Listen. I assume that anybody that's

00:39:39.630 --> 00:39:41.650
running for president, if they could fix the

00:39:41.650 --> 00:39:46.650
immigration issue. Sorry. It's all right. I'll

00:39:46.650 --> 00:39:48.730
give Hunter credit for going on there because.

00:39:49.869 --> 00:39:52.469
In the den. Yeah, he put himself in the den.

00:39:52.590 --> 00:39:55.039
That's good. And Sean Ryan. Sounds like he wasn't.

00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:57.139
I haven't watched the interview yet. I'm going

00:39:57.139 --> 00:39:59.159
to, but it sounds like he wasn't pleasant with

00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:02.159
him. Right. But it doesn't seem like he wasn't

00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:04.960
too hard on him either. You know, like, yeah,

00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:11.099
I would like to. Oh, yeah. No, they're trying

00:40:11.099 --> 00:40:15.500
to do that. Yeah. Yes. But Newsom has a reason

00:40:15.500 --> 00:40:17.559
for it. Hunter is not running for president.

00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:21.679
He's not? I don't think so. Oh, my God. Could

00:40:21.679 --> 00:40:24.199
you imagine? Oh, my God. Who would his vice president

00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:30.079
be? Crackhead Joe. Crackhead Bob, yeah. Oh, my

00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.199
goodness. Anyway, so I'll have to watch that.

00:40:32.340 --> 00:40:34.960
But, yeah, interesting. We do need legal immigration.

00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:37.099
We do need immigration. Legal immigration. For

00:40:37.099 --> 00:40:39.260
sure. I mean, I don't think any Republican or

00:40:39.260 --> 00:40:41.400
any person on the right or even centrist would

00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:45.380
disagree that we don't need immigration. Legal.

00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:49.380
Immigration. Yeah. Immigration made America.

00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:53.960
Absolutely. Legal immigration made America. Because

00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:56.159
it's the only place in the world where you can

00:40:56.159 --> 00:41:00.199
come from all different places and have the chance

00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:03.300
to be successful. Yes. But you've got to follow

00:41:03.300 --> 00:41:06.079
the rules. Legally. Right. And that's the problem.

00:41:06.820 --> 00:41:10.139
And if you don't follow the rules, then you probably

00:41:10.139 --> 00:41:13.340
shouldn't be here. That's it. But we know that

00:41:13.340 --> 00:41:17.199
that is not the motivation of the left to have

00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:18.679
people come in and assimilate and follow the

00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:22.949
rules. They just want voters. Yeah. Isn't that

00:41:22.949 --> 00:41:26.789
crazy, man? I mean, we were like this close,

00:41:27.010 --> 00:41:32.769
I think, if the 2020 election went by to pretty

00:41:32.769 --> 00:41:36.210
much having a one party system, not getting 2024.

00:41:36.329 --> 00:41:40.730
I'm sorry. Yeah. To have a one party system because

00:41:40.730 --> 00:41:44.550
the propaganda was getting crazy on. Oh, if Kamala

00:41:44.550 --> 00:41:47.639
won, they would have imported. millions and millions

00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:50.780
and more, and we would never have another Republican

00:41:50.780 --> 00:41:54.659
president again. Yeah. It would just be disaster.

00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:57.659
Or he would be the most... It would be like California,

00:41:57.820 --> 00:42:01.619
super majority. Yeah. Where the incompetence

00:42:01.619 --> 00:42:05.599
just fucking runs rampant. They got a... Chevron

00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:09.119
is leaving California. Really? After 123 years.

00:42:09.440 --> 00:42:13.139
Why? I'm guessing tax purposes. Well, yeah, the

00:42:13.139 --> 00:42:15.320
regulations, the taxes. I mean, yeah, because

00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:18.900
it's a supermajority Democrat run state. Valero

00:42:18.900 --> 00:42:22.579
is pulling out. We're losing like two or three

00:42:22.579 --> 00:42:24.920
major refineries. Our gas prices are going to

00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:29.019
go fucking through the roof in 26. I can't think

00:42:29.019 --> 00:42:32.059
of one actual good thing. I'm not being funny

00:42:32.059 --> 00:42:35.719
here. That Gavin Newsom has done for the state

00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:37.699
of California. And you literally have Democrats

00:42:37.699 --> 00:42:40.119
in California taking pictures of the gas prices

00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:42.079
in California, which are the highest in the nation

00:42:42.079 --> 00:42:45.280
because of the state taxes imposed on them. Right.

00:42:45.699 --> 00:42:48.579
Trump's bullshit. Look at our gas prices. They

00:42:48.579 --> 00:42:50.639
haven't gone down. Meanwhile, they're two dollars

00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:53.280
and some odd cents in most of the fucking country.

00:42:53.380 --> 00:42:56.349
Yeah. And I just love how Democrats are like,

00:42:56.429 --> 00:42:58.570
look at our guys' prices are super high. Yeah,

00:42:58.630 --> 00:43:01.230
because of the fucking people you vote for. It's

00:43:01.230 --> 00:43:06.550
$1 .60 at least per gallon of state tax. So,

00:43:06.630 --> 00:43:10.289
George, tell us what it means to be an older

00:43:10.289 --> 00:43:16.469
gentleman that is still blowing the teats of

00:43:16.469 --> 00:43:26.250
the libs. Yeah. No, but honestly, talk to me

00:43:26.250 --> 00:43:29.789
about the left and the good they do and all that

00:43:29.789 --> 00:43:36.349
jazz. Good that they do? Right. I'm confused.

00:43:38.730 --> 00:43:44.710
I mean, put it this way. There are many people

00:43:44.710 --> 00:43:51.360
out there that are very misguided. Right. And

00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:54.900
they've been sold a bill of goods. But the fact

00:43:54.900 --> 00:43:57.840
is that everyone's responsible for what they

00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:06.300
are, what they do. Here's the problem that I

00:44:06.300 --> 00:44:13.039
have. So I was in school, college in the 70s.

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:19.099
So I protested the Vietnam War. I went to protest.

00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:25.840
And then I went to college. And I got more conservative

00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:29.260
in college. But the fact is that what I didn't

00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:32.960
realize is that all the people my age, 69 -year

00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:37.300
-olds in that age group, all got ensconced in

00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:43.420
college as professors. And they completely indoctrinated

00:44:43.420 --> 00:44:48.320
a whole generation of kids. Oh, for sure. You

00:44:48.320 --> 00:44:50.179
know, we knew it was happening, but we didn't

00:44:50.179 --> 00:44:53.260
really see it because, again, everything was

00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:56.920
done because you wanted to care more and you

00:44:56.920 --> 00:44:59.420
wanted to be nice to people and you wanted to

00:44:59.420 --> 00:45:01.260
do all these things. It's called weaponized and

00:45:01.260 --> 00:45:05.679
suicidal empathy. Yep. All over the place. So,

00:45:05.719 --> 00:45:09.380
and it's a very tough, because unwinding it is

00:45:09.380 --> 00:45:11.500
very difficult because once you've been indoctrinated,

00:45:11.719 --> 00:45:15.059
what do you do? And, you know, one interesting

00:45:15.059 --> 00:45:19.380
thing about Trump is that Again, when he was

00:45:19.380 --> 00:45:22.280
first elected, there were so many people that

00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.840
couldn't stand him, couldn't listen to him, went

00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:29.800
crazy. And these weren't necessarily the anti

00:45:29.800 --> 00:45:33.880
-Trump syndrome or anything, just regular people.

00:45:34.119 --> 00:45:36.599
Right. They weren't TDS. The thing is that they

00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:41.960
were, you know, he had a valid viewpoint. And,

00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:47.179
you know, certainly he is, you know. He plays

00:45:47.179 --> 00:45:49.599
a lot of people right now, and he does things

00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:53.400
for effect, and he pisses people off. But he

00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:56.820
does it for a reason. And he has been outplaying

00:45:56.820 --> 00:46:04.079
all the left -leaning Democrats. 100%. And so

00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:09.420
as a poli -sci guy, I appreciate what he's doing

00:46:09.420 --> 00:46:12.820
in terms of his technique and how he's accomplishing

00:46:12.820 --> 00:46:17.880
his goals. He's certainly not a king. No. Right.

00:46:20.679 --> 00:46:26.380
No kings. No kings. See, here's the thing. If

00:46:26.380 --> 00:46:31.760
you're going to go and protest and say no kings,

00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:34.960
well, you're successful. I mean, their protests

00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:36.679
work. Oh, I've said that, yes. There are no kings.

00:46:37.300 --> 00:46:40.860
Yeah, exactly. Wake up. I mean, I agree with

00:46:40.860 --> 00:46:46.530
you. Hats. Hands up. Let's go and say no crime.

00:46:46.849 --> 00:46:48.670
Everybody on the right agrees with you, too.

00:46:49.130 --> 00:46:53.269
Nope, we have no kings. Good job. Good for you.

00:46:53.730 --> 00:46:56.969
Here's the funniest thing about that. I'm an

00:46:56.969 --> 00:47:01.329
Episcopalian. Episcopalians came from England

00:47:01.329 --> 00:47:04.670
and were part of the Anglican church. When they

00:47:04.670 --> 00:47:09.690
came to the U .S., the Anglicans worshipped the

00:47:09.690 --> 00:47:12.690
king of England. That's the head of the church.

00:47:13.269 --> 00:47:16.750
And what they did, and I saw an actual prayer

00:47:16.750 --> 00:47:22.369
book in Boston that showed, it was a common book

00:47:22.369 --> 00:47:26.550
from Anglican, from England, and they cross off

00:47:26.550 --> 00:47:30.650
the word king and put bishop. So therefore, and

00:47:30.650 --> 00:47:34.050
that was 200 years ago. So we got rid of the

00:47:34.050 --> 00:47:36.369
kings 200 years ago, and they still haven't come

00:47:36.369 --> 00:47:40.960
back, nor will they. Not ever. And, you know,

00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:45.480
anyone who thinks that Trump is a king is just

00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:48.280
doesn't understand history. Right. Doesn't understand

00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:53.980
religion. And, you know, basically he's a rethinker.

00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:55.300
Well, we know most of the people with the no

00:47:55.300 --> 00:47:58.780
kings protest don't either pay attention or know

00:47:58.780 --> 00:48:01.539
about history. Right. And or they're so fucking

00:48:01.539 --> 00:48:05.230
mentally. off their rockers yeah they're just

00:48:05.230 --> 00:48:09.929
like whatever my friends told me is fucking true

00:48:09.929 --> 00:48:14.329
yep gospel i had a we had a guest here at the

00:48:14.329 --> 00:48:16.469
building yesterday i gave a tour board he's a

00:48:16.469 --> 00:48:18.369
younger kid and he lives up in new york city

00:48:18.369 --> 00:48:24.110
and he had to break the news to his friend group

00:48:24.110 --> 00:48:27.750
that mom donnie's all his promises are not coming

00:48:27.750 --> 00:48:31.070
true because Like, he literally had to tell these,

00:48:31.170 --> 00:48:33.570
it was a bunch of girls who voted for Mamdani

00:48:33.570 --> 00:48:36.610
because they just voted to, or they have to raise

00:48:36.610 --> 00:48:39.269
the price of bus fare in New York by, like, 50

00:48:39.269 --> 00:48:41.710
cents or something. And the girls were reacting

00:48:41.710 --> 00:48:44.309
to this, like, I thought Mamdani said. I thought

00:48:44.309 --> 00:48:46.550
it was going to be free. Yeah. Well, that's my

00:48:46.550 --> 00:48:50.829
point. I'm getting to that. And his name is Max,

00:48:50.949 --> 00:48:53.090
and he's like, listen, I have to tell it. You

00:48:53.090 --> 00:48:57.010
all right? Scram. Okay. Yes, some water? I have

00:48:57.010 --> 00:49:02.300
to see that. Yeah. All right. Take off the headphones.

00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:07.420
So he had to explain to them, like, yeah, everything

00:49:07.420 --> 00:49:09.219
that he's promised, he's not going to do. He

00:49:09.219 --> 00:49:12.300
can't. There's no way he can do it. And they

00:49:12.300 --> 00:49:16.340
started talking about, oh, my rent's going to

00:49:16.340 --> 00:49:18.199
freeze. And he's like, do you live in a rent

00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:19.900
-controlled building? They're like, well, no.

00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:21.880
He's like, he's not going to freeze your rent.

00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:24.920
He can't. And they're like, what do you mean?

00:49:25.139 --> 00:49:27.739
He's like, well. you've been sold a bill of goods

00:49:27.739 --> 00:49:29.820
and I have to be the one to break it to you.

00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:32.039
Sorry. I was like, did they actually believe

00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:36.280
you? And he's like, yeah. I was like, wow. You

00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:38.500
can tell people, you can tell people who left

00:49:38.500 --> 00:49:40.079
these things and they'll just look at you and

00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:42.760
go, that's right -wing propaganda. It's bullshit.

00:49:42.980 --> 00:49:45.699
Propaganda, yeah. But the fact of the matter

00:49:45.699 --> 00:49:48.300
is, he's making promises he'll never be able

00:49:48.300 --> 00:49:51.760
to do. A little closer. Yeah. So. Well, of course,

00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:54.039
but that's, that's why I voted for him. I voted

00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:57.179
for him because. He is not going to accomplish

00:49:57.179 --> 00:50:00.679
anything he promised. It will not happen. But

00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:05.800
it's giving people a voice to feel like they're

00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:07.820
participating. Well, they were saying to him,

00:50:07.860 --> 00:50:10.019
he's going to make New York City socialist and

00:50:10.019 --> 00:50:14.039
Max is gone. This is New York City. It's the

00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:16.719
financial capital of the world. Yeah, literally.

00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:19.739
You think that this place is going to be socialist?

00:50:19.800 --> 00:50:22.360
You're out of your fucking mind. He sold you

00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:24.699
a bill of goods. It's not going to happen. He's

00:50:24.699 --> 00:50:26.219
not going to do anything. He said maybe he'll

00:50:26.219 --> 00:50:29.360
defund the police. Right. That he'll do. No,

00:50:29.360 --> 00:50:32.780
he won't. We'll see. He's not going to do it.

00:50:32.840 --> 00:50:36.039
Nah. It won't happen. But his security. He'll

00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:38.920
have the most broken promises. Oh, he will. For

00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:41.139
sure. Anyone. All the time. And I think he'll

00:50:41.139 --> 00:50:43.260
fuck up anything that he tries that he can't

00:50:43.260 --> 00:50:45.219
even accomplish. He's going to mess it up big

00:50:45.219 --> 00:50:46.840
time. It's going to be. I mean, the city's going

00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:49.800
to turn into a hell. Government grocery stores,

00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:54.449
bro. Like what? Anyway. Yeah. It's just funny

00:50:54.449 --> 00:50:57.969
that this young kid had to basically tell all

00:50:57.969 --> 00:50:59.989
of his friend group that. Sorry. Not going to

00:50:59.989 --> 00:51:03.929
happen. Not going to happen. At least they have

00:51:03.929 --> 00:51:07.389
you to tell them. Yeah. At least you could break

00:51:07.389 --> 00:51:12.190
the news to them. They live in their little fantasy

00:51:12.190 --> 00:51:16.949
world and, you know, this could be this way and

00:51:16.949 --> 00:51:20.579
all that jazz. Be nice. As I said earlier, like,

00:51:20.579 --> 00:51:22.000
you know, I have a lot of left -leaning friends

00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:24.099
and I think that they're very empathetic towards

00:51:24.099 --> 00:51:27.739
people with less, you know, immigrants and people

00:51:27.739 --> 00:51:30.440
that have less. I understand their empathy. But

00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:32.619
as I've said, it's, you know, it's weaponized

00:51:32.619 --> 00:51:34.960
empathy from the elites. Yeah. Turns into suicidal

00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:38.420
empathy for, you know, for the voters. Yeah.

00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:42.820
Because that's the only way you allow the mass

00:51:42.820 --> 00:51:45.679
migration of millions of people into your country

00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:48.980
that a lot of them. Don't want to assimilate.

00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:51.820
They don't want to come into our way of life.

00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:54.500
They actually want to destroy it. But you're

00:51:54.500 --> 00:51:55.900
like, okay, we've got to let them in because

00:51:55.900 --> 00:51:58.059
they had a bad time in their country. They're

00:51:58.059 --> 00:51:59.719
trying to turn our country into their country.

00:52:00.980 --> 00:52:05.960
They're not coming here like our historical immigrants

00:52:05.960 --> 00:52:07.900
where they came here to assimilate and become

00:52:07.900 --> 00:52:12.079
part of the world. I think it's a little more

00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:15.940
complicated. Because there are quite a few immigrants

00:52:15.940 --> 00:52:20.210
come in. Who are serious and believe in America

00:52:20.210 --> 00:52:24.489
and want to work hard. Absolutely. And bust their

00:52:24.489 --> 00:52:28.050
butts and, you know, pay taxes and do all the

00:52:28.050 --> 00:52:32.329
things they need to do. So not everyone. Not

00:52:32.329 --> 00:52:34.489
everyone. The problem is, is that because you

00:52:34.489 --> 00:52:37.329
didn't vet them, you had quite a few people that,

00:52:37.329 --> 00:52:45.170
you know, are. What was the. Statistic? Yes.

00:52:46.250 --> 00:52:52.869
Statistical. In Minnesota, which is 60 % of the

00:52:52.869 --> 00:52:57.449
Somalians on welfare. Yes. I think it's higher

00:52:57.449 --> 00:53:01.489
than that, but yeah, somewhere it's high. That's

00:53:01.489 --> 00:53:04.269
crazy. Right. And they say, well, they're all

00:53:04.269 --> 00:53:08.000
tax paid. Well, if you're on welfare. No, you're

00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:10.460
not tax paid. That's the line they use. That's

00:53:10.460 --> 00:53:13.559
what they always, the left. And then you go and

00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:16.400
have a food stamp program that doesn't go to

00:53:16.400 --> 00:53:20.519
people that need food. Right. Not only are they,

00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:23.760
most of them on welfare, and then they committed

00:53:23.760 --> 00:53:27.840
massive fraud, billions of dollars. Billions

00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:30.079
of dollars. Billions. Yeah, isn't that crazy,

00:53:30.139 --> 00:53:33.920
man? And how can that, I mean. They caught it,

00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:36.940
whatever. How long has that been going on for?

00:53:37.380 --> 00:53:41.480
Oh my goodness. Probably ever since they got

00:53:41.480 --> 00:53:48.099
here. 100%. The funny part is that all the shit

00:53:48.099 --> 00:53:53.480
that they fund, we could have solved our homelessness

00:53:53.480 --> 00:54:00.280
problem with those funds. Well, you could theorize.

00:54:03.190 --> 00:54:10.190
Why? Because we don't have the resources to do

00:54:10.190 --> 00:54:14.650
it. Is it the resources or is it that some people

00:54:14.650 --> 00:54:17.090
just want to live how they want to fucking live,

00:54:17.150 --> 00:54:20.070
man? They don't even want to be part of society.

00:54:20.190 --> 00:54:24.010
Some people want to vacate and check out. They

00:54:24.010 --> 00:54:25.949
don't want to be... Most of them are drug addicts.

00:54:26.269 --> 00:54:29.969
And mental health. If you really want to think

00:54:29.969 --> 00:54:31.769
about it, the biggest problem in the United States

00:54:31.769 --> 00:54:37.730
right now in terms of is gross. Yep. Yeah. And,

00:54:37.769 --> 00:54:40.849
you know, the whole fentanyl thing, I mean, that

00:54:40.849 --> 00:54:44.429
is so massive. It's crazy. It's killing 70 ,000

00:54:44.429 --> 00:54:46.889
people a year. Yeah. But it's doing more than

00:54:46.889 --> 00:54:49.329
killing 70 ,000, which is, you know, with Narcon

00:54:49.329 --> 00:54:51.949
and all that stuff. Narcon, yeah. You can go

00:54:51.949 --> 00:54:55.329
and, you know. Counteract it. Counteract it.

00:54:55.869 --> 00:54:57.530
And, you know, there's guys that have, you know,

00:54:57.530 --> 00:55:03.639
been. use 20 vials. Right. It's no big deal.

00:55:03.739 --> 00:55:06.820
You take too much and you just use an Archon

00:55:06.820 --> 00:55:09.059
and you're fine. Then on the other side you have

00:55:09.059 --> 00:55:11.440
the left all up in arms for Trump taking out

00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:13.059
drug boats that are bringing the shit into the

00:55:13.059 --> 00:55:16.980
country. It's fucking insane. Yeah. You want

00:55:16.980 --> 00:55:19.460
to solve problems. Right. Take care of the drug

00:55:19.460 --> 00:55:21.559
problems first. Well, Elon Musk talked about

00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:24.659
that on Joe Rogan. He said in San Francisco specifically,

00:55:24.980 --> 00:55:28.820
they will not go bust the drug dealers. Because

00:55:28.820 --> 00:55:31.380
they don't want the druggies to leave because

00:55:31.380 --> 00:55:32.840
then there'd be less homeless and they would

00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:35.039
direct less funds into the homeless problem,

00:55:35.219 --> 00:55:37.219
which is then disseminated to all their fucking

00:55:37.219 --> 00:55:43.239
cronies. It totally is. It totally is. And that's

00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:45.440
happening in other cities, obviously. Of course.

00:55:45.699 --> 00:55:49.159
It happens in small towns. For example, we spent

00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:53.239
a fair amount of time upstate New York and Maine

00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:59.599
in these small towns. And the drug problems,

00:55:59.739 --> 00:56:01.139
I mean, you just see the guys walking down the

00:56:01.139 --> 00:56:05.179
street. I mean, they are wasted. You know, when

00:56:05.179 --> 00:56:08.519
we went up to Sugarloaf, Maine, we went every

00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:13.239
weekend for a while. And we stopped at, I can't

00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:15.320
remember what town it was, but we stopped at

00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:20.039
like a grocery store, you know, good stuff. And

00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:23.679
the people were all, I mean, they were wasted.

00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:25.980
You could just tell they were all drug addicts.

00:56:26.139 --> 00:56:30.329
Right. Yeah. And so what you do is if you don't

00:56:30.329 --> 00:56:33.869
have hope and you start doing drugs, I mean,

00:56:33.889 --> 00:56:37.849
it's a downward spiral. And, you know, how do

00:56:37.849 --> 00:56:40.610
you get someone off of drugs? Give them better

00:56:40.610 --> 00:56:43.289
drugs. And then the leftist city is like, they

00:56:43.289 --> 00:56:45.269
won't bust drug dealers to keep them homeless.

00:56:45.449 --> 00:56:50.869
And then they give out free needles. Yeah. Yeah.

00:56:50.929 --> 00:56:56.989
It's like, hey. Free needles, free money, food.

00:56:57.250 --> 00:56:59.969
Yeah, it's crazy. And I keep saying, like, all

00:56:59.969 --> 00:57:02.670
these big cities, like, damn wrong big cities.

00:57:03.710 --> 00:57:06.130
How bad does it have to get for the citizens

00:57:06.130 --> 00:57:11.050
to finally go, hmm, let's vote another way. Let's

00:57:11.050 --> 00:57:13.789
try something different. How bad does it have

00:57:13.789 --> 00:57:15.349
to get? How bad does that have to get in San

00:57:15.349 --> 00:57:17.849
Francisco or L .A. or Detroit or Chicago? Like,

00:57:17.849 --> 00:57:20.530
how bad does it have to get? A nuclear bomb type

00:57:20.530 --> 00:57:23.889
of deal. while yeah because it's basically that

00:57:23.889 --> 00:57:27.550
and now you know like it's fucking people are

00:57:27.550 --> 00:57:30.010
shitting in the streets there's fucking people

00:57:30.010 --> 00:57:36.909
like homeless towns just set up and it's like

00:57:36.909 --> 00:57:39.980
yeah it's fucking Voters just put up with it.

00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:42.139
Like, Oh no, it's fine. Here's my, they told

00:57:42.139 --> 00:57:44.800
me to hate Trump. So yeah, I got to vote for

00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:48.219
these people. So my $3 million property has to

00:57:48.219 --> 00:57:51.059
have shit on its front lawn because fucking,

00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:54.599
um, I, if I think any other way about this, I'm

00:57:54.599 --> 00:57:57.460
racist. Yeah. It's crazy. Like your sympathy.

00:57:57.780 --> 00:58:01.440
Yes. Anyway, cutting off the nose, despite the

00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:02.900
face and all that jazz. We're going a little

00:58:02.900 --> 00:58:05.039
long on this. Yeah, definitely go along. Uh,

00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:07.360
but George talked to us about how you got the

00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:11.320
book out. How did you, the process of writing

00:58:11.320 --> 00:58:14.019
it? And then we'll, we'll wrap it up from there.

00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:18.480
Sure. So basically, you know, I had an idea that

00:58:18.480 --> 00:58:21.739
I want to write a book because as I saw all these

00:58:21.739 --> 00:58:25.400
people that were recovering, not doing the things

00:58:25.400 --> 00:58:27.880
they should do, how do you, how do you reach

00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:31.960
them? Yeah. So, so I've been, you know, through

00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:38.409
Amazon, Kindle direct publishing. It has the

00:58:38.409 --> 00:58:41.130
ability where you can go and create a file and

00:58:41.130 --> 00:58:44.170
create a book. Get a little closer to the mic.

00:58:45.289 --> 00:58:48.809
Get a little closer to the mic? Yeah. Oh, this

00:58:48.809 --> 00:58:52.409
is what it sounds like. Yes. Oh. But anyways,

00:58:52.530 --> 00:58:58.269
so the Kindle self -publishing allows you to

00:58:58.269 --> 00:59:04.429
publish a book. And again, we use some AI to

00:59:04.429 --> 00:59:08.000
help because. It's very technical. Sure. And

00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:12.260
I've been able to publish three or four books

00:59:12.260 --> 00:59:15.400
in the last month. Wow. Things I've been working

00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:18.579
on just because I decided to go into it big time.

00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:22.559
So instead of being a survivor now, I'm an author.

00:59:22.780 --> 00:59:26.780
I love it. I was a survivor. Yeah. And my message

00:59:26.780 --> 00:59:30.800
is that there's things you've got to do. Yeah.

00:59:30.840 --> 00:59:35.079
And if you do it. you live a long time and actually

00:59:35.079 --> 00:59:37.260
i'm working on a new book which is going to be

00:59:37.260 --> 00:59:44.320
the post survivor book which is once you've you

00:59:44.320 --> 00:59:47.900
know you've recovered what do you do next blow

00:59:47.900 --> 00:59:53.659
everybody Where are they? You can use my name

00:59:53.659 --> 00:59:57.380
in that book if you like. Yes. By the way, he's

00:59:57.380 --> 00:59:59.500
going to be front and center in the next book.

00:59:59.619 --> 01:00:03.360
And his very cool co -host John Rotolo could

01:00:03.360 --> 01:00:05.559
be mentioned as well. I think we're going to

01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:08.420
put him in too. Yeah, might as well. But I need

01:00:08.420 --> 01:00:12.960
to be paid. Hey now. There we go. But anyway,

01:00:13.039 --> 01:00:15.340
so the whole book thing is interesting because

01:00:15.340 --> 01:00:19.809
what I've been doing in terms of marketing and

01:00:19.809 --> 01:00:22.190
i'm not marketing me what i'm doing is i'm marketing

01:00:22.190 --> 01:00:26.150
the you know survival and you know rehab and

01:00:26.150 --> 01:00:29.610
the heart stuff yeah i've been working with wellspan

01:00:29.610 --> 01:00:33.269
and matter of fact in last august i threw out

01:00:33.269 --> 01:00:35.329
the first pitch and they did a video on me which

01:00:35.329 --> 01:00:39.409
was on the big screen oh wow my my recovery and

01:00:39.409 --> 01:00:44.409
in january on abc they're going to do a half

01:00:44.409 --> 01:00:48.349
an hour special and then Also one, they're going

01:00:48.349 --> 01:00:51.690
to do a 10 -minute spot on NBC, the local affiliate.

01:00:51.969 --> 01:00:55.050
Nice. You better be wearing a Gracious 2 shirt,

01:00:55.210 --> 01:01:00.710
dog. I will. So it's fun. And then there's going

01:01:00.710 --> 01:01:05.489
to be a whole campaign because February is a

01:01:05.489 --> 01:01:07.869
hard awareness. Black History Month. I don't

01:01:07.869 --> 01:01:10.250
think, I don't know that, George. Come on now.

01:01:10.530 --> 01:01:12.269
It used to be Black History, but now it's a hard

01:01:12.269 --> 01:01:16.199
awareness. Oh, okay. And so I'm going to be doing

01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:19.039
a fair amount of work for the hospital. Nice.

01:01:19.199 --> 01:01:21.039
Nice. And one of the things I want to do is I

01:01:21.039 --> 01:01:24.760
want to have the book, which is the second chance

01:01:24.760 --> 01:01:28.860
given to all the patients, not when they're in

01:01:28.860 --> 01:01:31.619
the hospital, but after they leave, because when

01:01:31.619 --> 01:01:33.280
you, you know, again, when you have a heart attack

01:01:33.280 --> 01:01:36.739
and your brain stops, you're confused for a while.

01:01:37.340 --> 01:01:42.460
Chad's just massaging the book so gently. Yeah.

01:01:42.559 --> 01:01:48.639
I love it. Give it a good plug. Good plug. I

01:01:48.639 --> 01:01:54.719
didn't show your name. Oh, shit. Of course, Taylor,

01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:59.119
folks. GT. If anyone wants the book, you can

01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:02.260
go on Amazon and just put in. The Amazon. It's

01:02:02.260 --> 01:02:05.039
not Amazon. It's the Amazon for you folks out

01:02:05.039 --> 01:02:06.860
there. Right. And then just. put in a second

01:02:06.860 --> 01:02:12.219
chance Almanac and George Taylor, and it's pretty

01:02:12.219 --> 01:02:17.500
easy to find. And he also has some lottery numbers

01:02:17.500 --> 01:02:19.920
in there for future lottery numbers coming up,

01:02:19.940 --> 01:02:22.659
I think you did. Predict the lottery. Predict

01:02:22.659 --> 01:02:26.639
the lottery. He put a couple, I think, a couple

01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:32.409
of football scores in there as well. I think.

01:02:32.969 --> 01:02:35.570
So for you folks out there, you want to get your

01:02:35.570 --> 01:02:39.289
gambling going on. That's the book to buy. Yes.

01:02:40.909 --> 01:02:46.670

01:02:46.670 --> 01:02:49.789

01:02:49.789 --> 01:02:53.690
cool word to Biff something. And we're bringing

01:02:53.690 --> 01:02:58.559
it back. We're Biffing it back. Biff Tannen.

01:02:58.719 --> 01:03:00.300
Why don't you make like a tree and get out of

01:03:00.300 --> 01:03:03.059

01:03:03.059 --> 01:03:06.920

01:03:19.849 --> 01:03:23.469

day. How many screens are in a submarine? None

01:03:28.969 --> 01:03:32.869
is the answer. That's always the answer. No screens

01:03:32.869 --> 01:03:37.690

01:03:37.690 --> 01:03:44.119
