Teddy Atlas

You really have an eye for fear. That's fascinating. You're really studying it.

Well, I had no choice. I got introduced in a crash course. And they put me in the ambulance. And this is what I remember, to your point. I'm sorry it took so long to get to it. I am. Although I'll probably do it again before this conversation's over. It's all about the journey. Yeah. We'll get there. We'll get there, pops. So I hear the cops say, we might lose him. And I'm like laughing to myself.

I'm not laughing because I'm not, again, I'm not John Wayne. John Wayne would have laughed. But I'm like, lose. You guys are stupid. You know, I didn't say that. But I'm like, lose me. My father's the greatest doctor in the freaking world. There's nothing to worry about. You people are all uptight and whacked out here with fear. Yeah. And there's nothing to worry about. Dr. Atlas is my father.

So anyway, so they're taking me to the, and they said, we don't have time. I hear a couple of things I remember. Don't have time. Take them to, and they take me to U.S. Public Health Hospital. Marina Hospital was called at the time, but U.S. Public Health. And it's in Stapleton, so it's close. Thank God.

So they're taking me, and I hear them on the radio, you know, saying this stuff about we got to move, we got to move. And I start talking. And they're telling me don't talk. But I like to talk a lot, you know? And so, again, fear. There's no fear when the fear's been removed. It's the only time you're really free in life. And I know that sounds absurd, but really, it is.

It's the only time you're really free in life. I was... Close to death? When you're devoid of things that normally hold you back, that normally influence you in ways that are... Not of the influence that always positive influence, where you're in a pure place, where you're in a purely free place from all inhibitions, from fear, from anxiety, from joy. Joy can screw you up.

And you're free from all these things. And I'm in this place.

And you're free from all these things. And I'm in this place.

Yeah, I'm like, I said, just get me Dr. Atlas. And they say, we don't have time. No, no, no, no, no. You don't, you have to get Dr. Atlas. You have to get him. This was the, damn it, this was the, you know what I mean? I finally freaking hit the number and I'm not getting paid. And then all of a sudden, I'm out. How many stitches?
