What is discussed at the start of this section?
Oh, I don't know where Bob is. Mr. Lewis did an incredible job on that song. He lives internationally and listens to the show just about every day, Joe. He goes back and it's like 3 a.m. where he lives. Wonderful man. Limits, you wouldn't believe the trek I just went on. This morning. I woke up early. I was having a heart stress test today. Been there. Over at Presby. My PCP wanted. Everything's fine. Probably just my paranoia. Big surprise there, I know. Anxious and scared, you might say. But I drove in. I left at 6.15, so I'm like, oh, I'm going to be early. I'll stop at the Starbucks in the basement of Presby. It'll be wonderful. Wait, are you allowed to eat or drink before the stress test? I don't know.
What are the concerns regarding the stress test?
Well, I did. I would think not. Okay. That's probably a good point, actually. Yeah. Just like when you get a blood test, they say don't eat or drink anything for six to eight hours. Well, what does eating or drinking have to do with your heart beating? Well, that can still affect whatever your symptoms might be. Really, Malsy? Tell me more. I think. I don't know. I've taken a stress test before, and I believe that that's what they told me. It's beside the point limits. Can I get to my story to open the show? Please. So at 6.15, I go out on the parkway. And there's a gigantic accident, unfortunately. And we stood in traffic for a full hour, a full hour and didn't move. And then get through the Fort Pitt tunnel and then go to Oakland.
Have you been in Oakland? I was going to say lately in the last five years. Oh, my God. Yeah. Limits. It's one big construction site. You want to talk about a place to get your orange cone for the Pirate Games, just walk up and down Forbes Avenue for an hour. You'll come out with 100. So I tried to find a parking spot. I might as well have been trying to find Malzi at a bald man's convention. I mean, it was ridiculous. Oh, then you have to parallel park into like a small little box where you're about five inches away from the next car. It was insane. And then I got into Presby, and I love UPMC. Believe me. But I'm glad they're opening a new Presby because the elevator system in the old one is the most... insane maze I've ever been in in my life to the point where even the people who work there don't know how to get to the next floor.
I can't even explain to you what happened. I can't even explain it. I'm a reasonably intelligent man. I'm smart enough to know that I'm not that smart. I'm just smart enough to know that I'm not that smart, which is a bad place to be. But I can use an elevator. Normally they're numbered one, two, three, four. This one has all these different symbols on it. And I was supposed to go to A429 and And it said Lothrop something or Scaife Hall 4. And I pressed it. And then letters came up. L-N. You're in car. N-L-N-O-P.
What challenges did Joe face while getting to the hospital?
Q-R-S-T-U-V. So I asked some guy, random guy, I said, how do I get to the fourth floor? And he said, press 4. He said, press 4. I said, I know that. I just did. Nothing's happening except someone's yelling letters at me. So I pile in the elevator with people who work there. I get off at what I think is the fourth floor. And then I'm supposed to go to the A part, the A part of the fourth floor, the A wing. And not even the workers knew. I'm like, how do I get to A? They're like, I don't know. I don't know. What do you mean they don't know? How did the workers not know? They didn't know because nobody knows because all it is is a sea of confused humans. Do they just take the stairs every single day? Because there's A, F, G, R, M on the fourth floor.
So then I was just about to just sit in the middle of the floor and say, forget it. I'm already a half hour late for this thing. And finally, somebody said, oh, A, somebody yelled down the hallway back to me. Hey, it's over here. A, A429. So I'm like, great. So I walk over there and there it is, like out of nowhere. So you were on the right floor. Like an oasis in the desert. For some odd reason, A429 is, there's no A428 that I saw, but there it was. So like I told my new friend, Olivia, who works there.
