At all.
Unknown 0:06
Okay.
Bert Kreischer 0:07
Like he doesn't get me. So like I made him laugh. We went, this is a good wrestling story and I'm going to let you know that this will probably be in a special and it'll be a lot better. But you're getting the skinny story.

The hardest thing about having blood clots is this.
Unknown 0:48
You can't do that?
Bert Kreischer 0:49
You can't cross your legs. Really? So in bed, I'm a big leg crosser.
Unknown 0:52
Right? And so it's almost... Do you know that's usually because of your back?
Bert Kreischer 0:56
I have sciatic problems. Yeah, it's... So we thought my blood clot was sciatic, for real. Really? Initially, I was on... The day before I went into the hospital, I was in my recliner, and my sciatic got so bad, I couldn't move my leg at all. Oh. And so... That's a terrible feeling. Oh... I'm sure you're familiar with this. You don't know how precious your mobility is. There are things that I didn't know were precious in life. Mobility, anonymity. I stole my daughter's anonymity. I just took it. I'm sure you're somewhat familiar.
Unknown 1:37

My daughters did.

Bert Kreischer 2:36
No one talks to that person. Yeah.
Unknown 2:44
