Okay.
Back when I was sucking on my mama's titties. We're not in Orlando right now. We're not in. We weren't in.
We were supposed to fly out this morning.
We were supposed to fly this morning as we're recording it.
What health issues is Bryan experiencing?
As you're listening to it, we would have been in Orlando and we're not there. And there's good reason why. And I guess I owe it the explanation, even though I don't want to put every single bit of my personal life out. I'll do it as a PSA. How's that, Chrissy? Yes, let's do it that way. And not your prostate serum, whatever the fuck. What is that? PSA. Yeah, that's what they call it.
Public service announcement.
I know, but then there's the PSA, the screening that you get for your prostate. Yeah, that's right. That's another one, too. That's another one, too, we've got to deal with.
How did Bryan's health journey unfold?
Us guys. You know, I got COVID about, I'll start at the beginning. I got COVID about two years ago, or three years ago at this point. Two and a half years ago. For the first time. And like everybody, I didn't really get all that sick. I mean, I had gotten the vaccine. I felt relatively okay. But I was tired. Man, was I tired. And that lingered for a very long time.
And long COVID is a... It's a thing.
It's a real thing. Yes.
What is the story behind RFK Jr.?
And I assumed that I had it after three, four, five, six months. I got increasingly tired, like fatigued. I got increasingly achy. My body got achy, along with a bunch of other disparate syndromes, like bad headaches. And I would be shot out of a cannon in the morning. But by one, two o'clock in the afternoon, I was having a hard time standing straight up. Now, you know, I was just chalking this up to having 65 children. Right. A terrible cocaine problem in my 20s. And, you know, generally just being malaised because the everyday things that you go through.
Catching up to you.
Yeah, and not being 22 anymore. I thought, okay, here it is. I'm old. I got it.
What are the implications of RFK Jr.'s recent controversies?
I'm old. I got old. And that's what happened. And I felt like one of two things. I got old and I have long COVID. Or I got old and I just got old. I'm just feeling like shit.
Well, all of your children are enough to run people back, I do have to say. And blue. I mean, yeah, and blue.
Blue is just like a highly stressful part of daily living. But let's put blue aside for a second. I just assumed that because I was not 22 and still had very young children and it seems like every year we had another child like for the last 10 years. And so we're always constantly, you know, doing this thing up at night and trying to put the kids to bed. It was I was excusing a lot of this.
How does Cheryl Hines fit into the RFK Jr. narrative?
So about a year and a half ago, I was also having some terrible headaches. It started to concern me that I was having these day after day after day. And I went to my doctor and my doctor said, are you taking Advil for it? And I said, yes, I am like I'm taking ibuprofen. And he said, stop taking ibuprofen. And I said, what? And that's the thing that helps it. He said, no, it's the thing that's hurting it.
