The cowboy hat, yeah. There was a hat maker in New Jersey who got tuberculosis and like so many TB survivors was told the only way he could survive was to go west and get some of that clean air, get out of the city, get out of New York and New Jersey and go get some clean air and see if he could dry his lungs out. This fella goes out to Missouri and he recovers.

And I wish we understood that better, but we still don't really understand it that well. But he got better. And as he got better, he noticed that the hats out West kind of sucked. There were the coonskin caps that were literally bug infested.

Yeah, George Orwell died of TB. Ringo Starr. Ringo Starr only became a Beatle because he learned how to drum in a sanatorium. Thomas Wolfe. Yep. Thiago Silva? Thiago Silva. Let's talk about Thiago Silva for a minute. That one's not in your book. It's not in my book, but I think about Thiago Silva a lot because people are like, can you connect football to TB?

Now, he'd probably had a TB infection for a long time, but for whatever reason, his disease became active when he was in Moscow, and he almost died. He was really, really sick and had to leave the game for a while, but then made his way back into the game and became one of the greatest players of his generation. He won a Champions League.
