Good to see you.
I did. I did. What'd you get? I can officially announce that the end of 2024 is right now.
Well, I thought I had bronchitis. Everybody in the house had it. We go to CrossFit, and they all had it. I go to CrossFit Jackson. My trainer's Megan Russell there, and she's going, ah, you might want to take it easy a little bit. Of course, I'm smoking cigarettes, and I got bronchitis. I go to a clinic. They give me some drugs. Yeah, you got bronchitis. Go home.
A couple days later, I'm sleeping in my chair, and my wife has one of those little oxygen modern things that you put on your finger. She wakes me up and goes, all right, let's go. What do you mean, let's go? Oxygen levels. You're going to the hospital. What? I'm sitting here taking a nap. No, you're going to the hospital. So I said, okay. So it's late at night. We go to St.
Vincent's Clinic, go in. It's late. And sitting there waiting for the doctor, Arian F. Sherry, great guy, it turns out. He comes in and looking at me. He's young enough to be one of my kids. He goes, stethoscope, listening to my lungs. He goes, do you smoke? I said, yeah. He says, you need to quit. I said, I just did. He goes, what? I said, I just did. I'm done. Now what do we do?
The bad kind.
He says, but the good news is you don't have bronchitis. I said, okay.
And that was about the time I was supposed to be in the studio with you, just a couple days before that. And I'm going, wow, this kind of screwed up my plans. As you know, best made plans and all that. Listen, the plans are all bullshit.
Yeah, he says, you need to quit smoking. I did. I went to the hospital. I was in there for almost five days. I haven't been in a hospital in a while, but they have it. St. Vincent's did a great job. The nurses have their little...
machines they wheel around and they come into your room every it seemed like quite often to check your vitals to do this to do intravenous to do that yeah so i'm sitting in there and couldn't sleep so i'm one of those guys if you walk by the door and you see an old guy sitting on a bed looking out the door that's me so i maybe got an hour two hours of sleep at night
I did. I've smoked for over 50 years. And I know it's bad for me, and I've never been an anti-smoking crusader. But if anything good comes of my appearance with you today, it was that this Dr. F. Shari, total stranger, guy I never met before in my life, happened to tell me at the right exact time, you need to quit. And I've been thinking I need to quit for a long time.
My loved ones told me that, my wife, my kids. And I never, okay, yeah, that's a good idea.
Yeah, well, since I quit, I don't cough anymore. Isn't that crazy? It's crazy. I can breathe better, and I'm still getting better from the pneumonia. I'm sure. Because it takes a while to get over that.
We drove.
No, from Florida.
We were in Florida.
It was a couple days. Jesus Christ. When we had stuff we didn't want to put on the airlines. Got it. Wink. Government. I'm just teasing. We wanted a road trip. We wanted a little adventure. You know, you fly over this country at 45,000 feet and you're looking out the window. It's a big country.
That's right. And you're looking out and suddenly you see a little dot and see some houses. I wonder what those people do down there.
Exactly. And by traveling, you have a chance at having an adventure. Yeah. Something cool could happen.
When we got to, I forget, Texas, there was a place called Bucky's.
