Yeah. That was literally his sentiment. Wow. And it was a few years where it was very, very dark. And it was the cigarettes. No question about it. Did you try patches or gum? Yeah, I did all of that stuff. Did it help? No. Not really. I loved that deep inhale.
It's different than anything else. And the thing was, I would still challenge most good singing friends of mine that I could hold my breath or do lengths in a swimming pool underwater. and hold my breath better than anybody else, which I was able to. And it's because I was such a deep, deep smoker. When I inhaled, I really, really inhaled.
Literally, literally. And I remember going for my certain... Yeah, seriously, I consider myself a shallow breather now in comparison. Except for when I go on these kind of power walks, you know. Wow. Trying to get it all in anymore. But, yeah, no, I bought a little apparatus, which I still haven't been procrastinating about it. But it's an exerciser. Yeah, I have one of those. Yeah, to expand.
It's an O2 trainer.
Yeah, there you go. So I haven't done it yet.
Well, you just change the inhalation volume. Yeah, it's less. Back and forth. Less of an opening. So you just train to.
Very good. Yeah. I mean, I know that they work. I just haven't gotten around to it. But yeah.
Well, when I was, I mean, you know, the COVID experience was very, very different for very many people. Yeah. Where I was in Monaco in France, you weren't allowed to leave your house without written paperwork to the police that you were going out for one hour. And you could only go within one kilometer unless you were going to get groceries where you could only go out for a limited amount of time.
If you didn't have the paperwork with you, you'd be fined. So I started using quite a few apps to calm myself and take on deep breath and deep focus because I felt trapped, especially as someone who loved walking, who loved biking, who loved exploring, all of that stuff, and I couldn't move. And here's the really...
annoying thing was that where I was was quite close to the sea, a couple of hundred yards away. But as I said, I could only be in a one kilometer circle from where I was. But that half of that was in the sea. Wow. And so I could walk left and right to try and get 5K in back and forth, you know, at least 5K to try and get a good walk in.
But you weren't allowed on the beach, which was the most to sit there and contemplate and breathe and just, you know, try and relax. One of the healthiest things you can do. Yeah. You weren't allowed to do that.
Anyway, so along the path ahead of me, about a quarter of a mile, I see a number of bobbing heads. And I wasn't wearing a mask. You had to wear a mask even when you're out power walking on your own. Because of science. Of course. Genius. Well, let's not get into that. But yeah. And so over the ridge they come. And I noticed that one of the person at the front is wearing a police hat. Oh, great.
And so I'm trying to scramble putting my mask on. And he's taking out, going for a run with a bunch of trainers, trainees, you know, about eight other people from the police force. They're all gunned up and truncheoned and everything else. And the guy's going off on me in French saying, wear your fucking mask.
And I'm going... And he says to me, you know, I understand a little bit, a good amount of French, and I can speak a little bit, but I... He said, who are you with? And I'm looking around... There's nobody for half a mile anywhere near me. And he's asking me, who am I with? And I'm thinking, what's that about? This is the weirdest scenario. I'm in the middle of nowhere on a rocky peninsula.
And he's asking me who I'm with. And there's nobody. And, you know, to put my mask back on, otherwise I'd be in trouble. And it was just the most surreal, peculiar circumstance to be, you know.
I still love the fact that you see people sitting on their own in cars today wearing a mask. Oh, yeah.
Right.
Yeah, it's beyond messed up.
And people are eager as well to join that club.
Seems like a bad dream.
