1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:00,900
Mic
2
00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:01,939
check.
3
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:05,940
Vibe check. Mic check.
4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,320
Yeah. Let me get it up in my
5
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:08,820
headphones.
6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,380
Yeah.
7
00:00:12,255 --> 00:00:14,835
It's what's the matter with me.
8
00:00:15,615 --> 00:00:18,515
You know what it is. What's the matter
9
00:00:18,655 --> 00:00:21,154
with me? Pretty much nothing.
10
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:22,515
Right? Nothing.
11
00:00:22,815 --> 00:00:23,315
Relatively,
12
00:00:24,899 --> 00:00:25,399
nothing.
13
00:00:26,179 --> 00:00:28,899
Let me get this EQ. Let's get the
14
00:00:28,899 --> 00:00:30,119
party started
15
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:33,079
right. Let's get the party started
16
00:00:33,539 --> 00:00:34,039
quickly.
17
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:38,600
It's What's the Matter with Me podcast.
18
00:00:40,024 --> 00:00:42,744
I haven't done this for a while. I'm
19
00:00:42,744 --> 00:00:43,564
just gonna
20
00:00:44,024 --> 00:00:44,924
try and flow.
21
00:00:45,864 --> 00:00:49,304
It's What's the Matter with Me podcast. My
22
00:00:49,304 --> 00:00:50,924
name is John.
23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,899
I'm 46
24
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,179
years old.
25
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,500
I'm a husband,
26
00:00:58,199 --> 00:00:58,699
father
27
00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:00,140
of two.
28
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,459
I used to be a small business owner.
29
00:01:05,875 --> 00:01:07,255
I used to be
30
00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:09,734
used to be a radio
31
00:01:10,034 --> 00:01:10,534
DJ.
32
00:01:11,875 --> 00:01:15,814
Gotta strike that from the intro somehow. Gotta
33
00:01:16,115 --> 00:01:17,255
rewrite this.
34
00:01:18,355 --> 00:01:20,694
I filed on biz
35
00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:22,750
file. That's like
36
00:01:23,849 --> 00:01:25,130
if you own a
37
00:01:25,689 --> 00:01:26,349
an LLC
38
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:27,390
or
39
00:01:27,689 --> 00:01:29,069
something, some business
40
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:32,349
in the state of California,
41
00:01:33,049 --> 00:01:34,030
you use
42
00:01:34,329 --> 00:01:34,829
the
43
00:01:35,584 --> 00:01:36,084
secretary
44
00:01:36,465 --> 00:01:37,284
of state's
45
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:38,724
web portal,
46
00:01:39,424 --> 00:01:41,204
and it's called BizFile.
47
00:01:42,545 --> 00:01:45,685
And I I used it most recently
48
00:01:46,865 --> 00:01:47,605
to terminate
49
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:49,819
hopping hot sauce
50
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:51,980
because
51
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:54,060
I have trouble, like,
52
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,620
moving a piece of paper
53
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,219
between rooms
54
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:00,299
of my house.
55
00:02:01,515 --> 00:02:04,415
And so I have a wall. I obviously,
56
00:02:04,635 --> 00:02:06,094
I could do outside,
57
00:02:07,594 --> 00:02:10,495
no. Sorry. I could do phone sales.
58
00:02:11,915 --> 00:02:14,895
I can't really get out there and pound
59
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:15,855
the pavement.
60
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:17,800
Anyhow,
61
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:20,280
I have multiple sclerosis,
62
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:21,240
and
63
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:25,000
I'm confined to a wheelchair often,
64
00:02:26,419 --> 00:02:26,919
to
65
00:02:27,379 --> 00:02:27,879
traverse
66
00:02:28,419 --> 00:02:28,919
longer
67
00:02:29,379 --> 00:02:29,879
distances
68
00:02:30,419 --> 00:02:30,919
or
69
00:02:31,474 --> 00:02:33,334
to be out for longer
70
00:02:33,634 --> 00:02:34,134
durations.
71
00:02:36,514 --> 00:02:37,655
And I've
72
00:02:38,354 --> 00:02:38,854
survived
73
00:02:39,875 --> 00:02:40,375
Trigeminal
74
00:02:41,074 --> 00:02:41,574
Neuralgia.
75
00:02:42,995 --> 00:02:46,375
I'm over going over all this stuff
76
00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:50,730
every time I do my podcast, but that's
77
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:53,389
what this podcast is about.
78
00:02:54,010 --> 00:02:55,629
This is the tenth
79
00:02:56,169 --> 00:02:56,669
season
80
00:02:57,129 --> 00:02:58,990
of the podcast. It means
81
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:02,030
I've been doing it for ten years.
82
00:03:03,105 --> 00:03:03,605
And
83
00:03:04,224 --> 00:03:05,125
to really
84
00:03:05,425 --> 00:03:07,525
just kind of mark myself,
85
00:03:08,305 --> 00:03:09,685
I've had five
86
00:03:10,385 --> 00:03:10,885
surgeries.
87
00:03:11,344 --> 00:03:11,844
They've
88
00:03:12,465 --> 00:03:14,885
bored a hole in my skull.
89
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:18,549
Okay. Let's get to the book review. Enough
90
00:03:18,549 --> 00:03:19,689
with the surgery,
91
00:03:19,989 --> 00:03:21,849
but, of course, it'll dovetail.
92
00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:24,409
I'll be right back with that.
93
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:26,729
I
94
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:30,935
I started this podcast to be like, what's
95
00:03:30,995 --> 00:03:33,094
the matter with me? I'm becoming
96
00:03:33,555 --> 00:03:34,055
disabled.
97
00:03:34,754 --> 00:03:35,655
I have to
98
00:03:36,275 --> 00:03:36,775
investigate
99
00:03:38,115 --> 00:03:38,615
this
100
00:03:38,915 --> 00:03:39,415
acquired
101
00:03:40,355 --> 00:03:40,855
disability
102
00:03:41,395 --> 00:03:42,455
that I'm currently
103
00:03:44,459 --> 00:03:47,580
going through. I'm still going through it. It
104
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:49,280
it will never stop.
105
00:03:50,459 --> 00:03:53,580
Earlier on in this podcast, I said I
106
00:03:53,580 --> 00:03:56,319
will never stop making this podcast.
107
00:03:57,819 --> 00:04:00,875
And in fact, I I almost certainly
108
00:04:01,495 --> 00:04:04,635
all things must end. Think of everything must
109
00:04:05,335 --> 00:04:05,835
pass.
110
00:04:06,135 --> 00:04:09,974
Think about George Harrison, All Things Must Pass
111
00:04:09,974 --> 00:04:11,995
Away. That's a good tune.
112
00:04:12,534 --> 00:04:14,235
I bought that album,
113
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:16,100
George Harrison,
114
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:18,740
All Things Must Pass.
115
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,139
I bought it
116
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,060
for my wife,
117
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,060
or I recommend it. I I'm too cheap.
118
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,699
I probably just said it was good.
119
00:04:30,665 --> 00:04:32,285
That's, like, my cultural
120
00:04:32,585 --> 00:04:35,085
capital. I'm giving it to you too.
121
00:04:35,625 --> 00:04:36,125
Anyway,
122
00:04:36,425 --> 00:04:38,444
I all things must pass.
123
00:04:39,705 --> 00:04:42,990
So I will stop doing this. I can't
124
00:04:42,990 --> 00:04:45,729
do it forever, but I won't ever
125
00:04:46,029 --> 00:04:48,449
I won't ever be know what it's
126
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:49,649
it's like
127
00:04:50,269 --> 00:04:52,769
to walk this earth without
128
00:04:53,149 --> 00:04:53,649
MSN.
129
00:04:54,509 --> 00:04:55,490
The PTSD,
130
00:04:56,509 --> 00:04:58,289
I carry with me,
131
00:04:59,285 --> 00:05:00,345
having survived
132
00:05:00,725 --> 00:05:01,225
trigeminal
133
00:05:01,685 --> 00:05:02,185
neuralgia.
134
00:05:02,564 --> 00:05:04,504
Like, so let's get to that.
135
00:05:05,685 --> 00:05:06,584
This holiday,
136
00:05:06,964 --> 00:05:08,904
I bought someone a book.
137
00:05:09,444 --> 00:05:10,824
My aunt Barb,
138
00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:14,509
I bought her a book because
139
00:05:14,889 --> 00:05:18,669
my whole life, she's been sending me books.
140
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:24,110
And her husband is my dad's
141
00:05:25,064 --> 00:05:28,185
big brother was my dad's big brother. My
142
00:05:28,185 --> 00:05:29,485
dad passed away,
143
00:05:30,584 --> 00:05:32,444
a week before Thanksgiving.
144
00:05:33,785 --> 00:05:36,185
So it's kinda been on my mind. But,
145
00:05:36,185 --> 00:05:37,384
anyway, I sent,
146
00:05:39,569 --> 00:05:41,349
this book to Barb,
147
00:05:42,129 --> 00:05:42,629
and
148
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:45,269
it's by Keith McNally.
149
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:49,110
And he's a New York restauranteur.
150
00:05:54,375 --> 00:05:57,194
Alright. There, I got a call from scam
151
00:05:57,254 --> 00:05:57,754
likely.
152
00:05:58,935 --> 00:05:59,995
Loan advisors
153
00:06:00,535 --> 00:06:04,134
giving me advice on something. Anyway, I don't
154
00:06:04,134 --> 00:06:06,475
have a loan. I don't want advice.
155
00:06:07,669 --> 00:06:09,449
So anyhow, Keith McNally's,
156
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:12,169
I regret almost everything.
157
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:14,089
There we go.
158
00:06:15,269 --> 00:06:16,250
The entertaining,
159
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:20,409
irreverent. It's got a 3.88
160
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:21,370
on
161
00:06:22,964 --> 00:06:23,865
Good Breeds,
162
00:06:24,805 --> 00:06:27,145
and I think that's about right.
163
00:06:27,845 --> 00:06:30,324
A little bit less than four out of
164
00:06:30,324 --> 00:06:31,384
five stars.
165
00:06:32,165 --> 00:06:33,865
But for me, it had,
166
00:06:34,485 --> 00:06:35,545
a lot of
167
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:37,600
resonance
168
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:40,160
because he's been through kinda
169
00:06:40,779 --> 00:06:41,279
similar
170
00:06:42,699 --> 00:06:43,199
experiences.
171
00:06:44,939 --> 00:06:46,319
And my life
172
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:48,160
crossed paths
173
00:06:48,779 --> 00:06:49,680
with his
174
00:06:50,524 --> 00:06:51,185
kind of
175
00:06:51,645 --> 00:06:52,145
tangentially.
176
00:06:52,605 --> 00:06:54,305
I used to sell pork.
177
00:06:54,764 --> 00:06:57,504
I used to work for this company, Heritage
178
00:06:57,645 --> 00:06:58,625
Foods USA,
179
00:06:59,404 --> 00:06:59,904
which
180
00:07:00,205 --> 00:07:01,425
is kinda like
181
00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:04,865
which it was trying to be, like,
182
00:07:05,939 --> 00:07:06,759
the Omaha
183
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:07,720
Steaks
184
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:08,759
of pork.
185
00:07:09,379 --> 00:07:13,300
So they sold, like, heritage breed pork, really
186
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:14,120
good quality
187
00:07:15,860 --> 00:07:17,000
pigs and
188
00:07:18,754 --> 00:07:20,774
rearing, and it tasted
189
00:07:21,154 --> 00:07:22,055
really good.
190
00:07:22,435 --> 00:07:25,074
Anyhow, I used to sell him pork at
191
00:07:25,074 --> 00:07:26,134
his restaurants,
192
00:07:27,314 --> 00:07:27,814
Pulino's
193
00:07:28,354 --> 00:07:29,175
and Balthazar
194
00:07:29,954 --> 00:07:30,454
and
195
00:07:31,669 --> 00:07:33,930
all his restaurants in Manhattan.
196
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:36,329
I went to,
197
00:07:36,709 --> 00:07:37,769
his restaurant,
198
00:07:38,069 --> 00:07:38,569
Polino's,
199
00:07:39,669 --> 00:07:42,649
after he opened it, and Sean Lennon
200
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:45,930
was there outside in a top hat,
201
00:07:46,854 --> 00:07:47,354
sitting
202
00:07:47,654 --> 00:07:50,634
outside on the street. I was like,
203
00:07:53,334 --> 00:07:55,995
So it's kind of like New York celebrity
204
00:07:56,214 --> 00:07:57,834
thing, but also,
205
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:02,159
yeah, telling this story, a memoir by the
206
00:08:02,159 --> 00:08:02,659
legendary
207
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,620
proprietor,
208
00:08:04,159 --> 00:08:04,659
Balthazar,
209
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,180
pasties,
210
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:07,139
Maneta
211
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:08,740
Tavern, and Morandi,
212
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,819
taking us from his gritty London childhood
213
00:08:13,704 --> 00:08:14,764
to his serendipitous
214
00:08:15,625 --> 00:08:17,164
arrival in New York,
215
00:08:17,544 --> 00:08:19,884
where he founded the era defining
216
00:08:20,425 --> 00:08:20,925
establishments
217
00:08:21,544 --> 00:08:23,404
Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg,
218
00:08:24,345 --> 00:08:25,245
and Nels.
219
00:08:26,104 --> 00:08:26,604
Eloquent,
220
00:08:27,419 --> 00:08:30,139
he writes about his stint as a child
221
00:08:30,139 --> 00:08:31,519
actor, his travels
222
00:08:31,899 --> 00:08:33,839
along the hippie trail,
223
00:08:34,460 --> 00:08:36,399
his wives and children,
224
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,000
his devastating
225
00:08:38,860 --> 00:08:39,360
stroke,
226
00:08:40,095 --> 00:08:41,475
and his Instagram
227
00:08:42,174 --> 00:08:42,674
stardom.
228
00:08:43,534 --> 00:08:45,695
The reason I got into it is because
229
00:08:45,695 --> 00:08:46,754
he had a stroke,
230
00:08:47,214 --> 00:08:49,074
and he had the similar
231
00:08:49,454 --> 00:08:52,654
surgery to mine where they drill a hole
232
00:08:52,654 --> 00:08:54,434
in the back of your head.
233
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:56,240
For him, they injected
234
00:08:58,220 --> 00:09:02,160
some stem cell treatment. That's where it stops,
235
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:02,720
but
236
00:09:03,259 --> 00:09:05,740
I don't I didn't get that. But what
237
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:07,680
we did have in common
238
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,894
is they and I remember
239
00:09:11,274 --> 00:09:11,774
this
240
00:09:12,475 --> 00:09:15,375
via this book. I was like, oh, yeah.
241
00:09:15,754 --> 00:09:18,414
They did that. Where they they
242
00:09:19,195 --> 00:09:21,434
to drill a hole in your head the
243
00:09:21,434 --> 00:09:22,495
way the doctor
244
00:09:22,875 --> 00:09:23,695
does it
245
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:27,779
is they fit your head into this, like,
246
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,139
head shaped
247
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:30,259
contraption.
248
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:32,580
There's a head shaped negative,
249
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,340
space.
250
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,460
You put your head in there,
251
00:09:37,774 --> 00:09:40,434
and they thread all these screws,
252
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:44,995
to your head. They screw,
253
00:09:45,695 --> 00:09:48,274
like, a lot of screws. Dozens,
254
00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:50,190
I'm sure.
255
00:09:50,509 --> 00:09:53,250
And a lot of them quite tightly
256
00:09:54,110 --> 00:09:56,610
to your head to keep it still,
257
00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:59,470
because they have to drill a hole through
258
00:09:59,470 --> 00:10:00,370
your skull,
259
00:10:00,830 --> 00:10:02,929
and they can't have your head move,
260
00:10:03,389 --> 00:10:04,129
and then
261
00:10:04,514 --> 00:10:07,335
drill your brain and your your toast.
262
00:10:08,115 --> 00:10:10,855
So this is, like, very delicate.
263
00:10:11,795 --> 00:10:14,295
But, also, it's, like, inhuman,
264
00:10:14,995 --> 00:10:17,715
like, going through it. Because I was on
265
00:10:17,715 --> 00:10:19,014
Twilight Anesthesia,
266
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,120
and they were screwing these things into my
267
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,820
head really tightly.
268
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:26,820
It was very painful.
269
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:30,579
And I forgot about it because
270
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:34,179
this is when they put the anesthesia
271
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:37,634
up, because it's right before they drill a
272
00:10:37,634 --> 00:10:38,855
hole in your head.
273
00:10:39,235 --> 00:10:40,934
So I forgot, but then
274
00:10:41,315 --> 00:10:43,894
reading this, I remembered that
275
00:10:44,434 --> 00:10:46,995
this happened to me. And then I was
276
00:10:46,995 --> 00:10:48,534
like, you know, medical
277
00:10:50,019 --> 00:10:52,840
stuff, it it doesn't matter. Stroke,
278
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:54,040
MS,
279
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,600
whatever you is your
280
00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:57,480
ailment
281
00:10:57,940 --> 00:10:59,080
of choice or
282
00:10:59,460 --> 00:11:00,840
your ailment of
283
00:11:01,274 --> 00:11:02,095
of random,
284
00:11:03,194 --> 00:11:04,574
luck of the draw
285
00:11:06,794 --> 00:11:10,174
is is that to solve it, the doctor
286
00:11:11,115 --> 00:11:11,615
uses,
287
00:11:12,074 --> 00:11:13,214
like, inhuman
288
00:11:13,995 --> 00:11:14,495
methods.
289
00:11:15,194 --> 00:11:16,289
That's science.
290
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:17,410
Scientists
291
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:20,129
and doctors don't have
292
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:22,049
to make things
293
00:11:23,309 --> 00:11:23,809
humane.
294
00:11:24,590 --> 00:11:26,370
They have to make you survive.
295
00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:30,285
And I I sympathize. I'm not trying to
296
00:11:30,285 --> 00:11:32,065
say they should do it different.
297
00:11:32,605 --> 00:11:35,644
There's no other way. I don't think I
298
00:11:35,644 --> 00:11:37,825
mean, I don't know another way.
299
00:11:38,445 --> 00:11:38,945
And
300
00:11:39,644 --> 00:11:41,965
so this is how they screw a hole
301
00:11:41,965 --> 00:11:43,264
in your head without
302
00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:45,080
drilling your brain.
303
00:11:45,860 --> 00:11:47,720
And it's like inhumane.
304
00:11:48,820 --> 00:11:49,320
And
305
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:51,639
you it made me
306
00:11:52,179 --> 00:11:55,320
as I was reading this book, I regret
307
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:59,315
almost everything by Keith McNally. It is entertaining.
308
00:12:00,014 --> 00:12:00,754
We'll give
309
00:12:01,134 --> 00:12:02,835
it 3.88
310
00:12:02,894 --> 00:12:05,075
on a scale of five.
311
00:12:06,175 --> 00:12:06,915
Fair enough.
312
00:12:08,095 --> 00:12:09,795
I sold the guy pork.
313
00:12:10,490 --> 00:12:11,949
I like that. And
314
00:12:12,329 --> 00:12:13,709
he has survived
315
00:12:14,809 --> 00:12:15,309
inhumane
316
00:12:15,850 --> 00:12:18,350
treatment in the name of medicine,
317
00:12:19,129 --> 00:12:22,269
which is what you have there's no option.
318
00:12:22,490 --> 00:12:24,569
You can't check a box being might be
319
00:12:24,569 --> 00:12:27,434
nice to me. I only want the nice
320
00:12:27,434 --> 00:12:27,934
treatment.
321
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,815
That's not how it works, unfortunately.
322
00:12:32,475 --> 00:12:34,735
But I I it's an interesting
323
00:12:35,035 --> 00:12:38,095
book. And and my aunt Barb, she survives.
324
00:12:38,235 --> 00:12:40,815
She's a survivor of medical care,
325
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,339
and it's not always humane.
326
00:12:43,959 --> 00:12:47,019
But it's, like, to get you better, and
327
00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:48,220
that makes sense.
328
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,279
But there so reading this, I was like,
329
00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:52,779
yeah.
330
00:12:53,254 --> 00:12:55,254
When they drill a hole in your head,
331
00:12:55,254 --> 00:12:56,154
that's not
332
00:12:57,575 --> 00:12:58,075
nice.
333
00:12:58,774 --> 00:13:00,875
That that wasn't nice.
334
00:13:03,654 --> 00:13:04,554
Keith McNally
335
00:13:05,014 --> 00:13:05,174
is
336
00:13:06,054 --> 00:13:08,920
he goes on to say that he's
337
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:10,440
traumatized
338
00:13:10,899 --> 00:13:12,920
by the sound of the drill.
339
00:13:13,779 --> 00:13:14,279
And
340
00:13:15,540 --> 00:13:16,679
I I sympathize
341
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:18,040
with that because
342
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:19,879
he's into construction
343
00:13:20,754 --> 00:13:21,334
and renovating
344
00:13:21,794 --> 00:13:22,294
restaurants.
345
00:13:23,235 --> 00:13:25,634
So that must be a bummer. He's a
346
00:13:25,634 --> 00:13:26,454
drill man.
347
00:13:26,914 --> 00:13:28,375
Hammer and nail guy.
348
00:13:29,554 --> 00:13:32,195
Probably, at this point, he's too old to
349
00:13:32,195 --> 00:13:32,934
be anything
350
00:13:33,554 --> 00:13:34,850
but in the way.
351
00:13:35,149 --> 00:13:37,169
But I sympathize still.
352
00:13:37,789 --> 00:13:40,110
And it's a good book. Check it out.
353
00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:42,049
It's a 3.88
354
00:13:42,269 --> 00:13:43,089
on Goodreads.
355
00:13:44,429 --> 00:13:44,929
Story,
356
00:13:45,549 --> 00:13:46,850
fancy celebrities.
357
00:13:47,549 --> 00:13:48,190
It it
358
00:13:48,830 --> 00:13:51,664
you know, I give it a 3.88.
359
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:52,565
Check it out.
360
00:13:53,105 --> 00:13:56,225
Anyway, thanks for listening to What's the Matter
361
00:13:56,225 --> 00:13:58,964
with Me season 10. I'm gonna rebrand
362
00:13:59,664 --> 00:14:01,845
the whole thing. I'm calling this episode
363
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,779
X point one.
364
00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:06,659
Thank you for tuning into episode
365
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,500
X point
366
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:11,620
one one one one.
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:00,900
Mic
2
00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:01,939
check.
3
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:05,940
Vibe check. Mic check.
4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,320
Yeah. Let me get it up in my
5
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:08,820
headphones.
6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,380
Yeah.
7
00:00:12,255 --> 00:00:14,835
It's what's the matter with me.
8
00:00:15,615 --> 00:00:18,515
You know what it is. What's the matter
9
00:00:18,655 --> 00:00:21,154
with me? Pretty much nothing.
10
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:22,515
Right? Nothing.
11
00:00:22,815 --> 00:00:23,315
Relatively,
12
00:00:24,899 --> 00:00:25,399
nothing.
13
00:00:26,179 --> 00:00:28,899
Let me get this EQ. Let's get the
14
00:00:28,899 --> 00:00:30,119
party started
15
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:33,079
right. Let's get the party started
16
00:00:33,539 --> 00:00:34,039
quickly.
17
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:38,600
It's What's the Matter with Me podcast.
18
00:00:40,024 --> 00:00:42,744
I haven't done this for a while. I'm
19
00:00:42,744 --> 00:00:43,564
just gonna
20
00:00:44,024 --> 00:00:44,924
try and flow.
21
00:00:45,864 --> 00:00:49,304
It's What's the Matter with Me podcast. My
22
00:00:49,304 --> 00:00:50,924
name is John.
23
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,899
I'm 46
24
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,179
years old.
25
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,500
I'm a husband,
26
00:00:58,199 --> 00:00:58,699
father
27
00:00:59,239 --> 00:01:00,140
of two.
28
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,459
I used to be a small business owner.
29
00:01:05,875 --> 00:01:07,255
I used to be
30
00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:09,734
used to be a radio
31
00:01:10,034 --> 00:01:10,534
DJ.
32
00:01:11,875 --> 00:01:15,814
Gotta strike that from the intro somehow. Gotta
33
00:01:16,115 --> 00:01:17,255
rewrite this.
34
00:01:18,355 --> 00:01:20,694
I filed on biz
35
00:01:21,450 --> 00:01:22,750
file. That's like
36
00:01:23,849 --> 00:01:25,130
if you own a
37
00:01:25,689 --> 00:01:26,349
an LLC
38
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:27,390
or
39
00:01:27,689 --> 00:01:29,069
something, some business
40
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:32,349
in the state of California,
41
00:01:33,049 --> 00:01:34,030
you use
42
00:01:34,329 --> 00:01:34,829
the
43
00:01:35,584 --> 00:01:36,084
secretary
44
00:01:36,465 --> 00:01:37,284
of state's
45
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:38,724
web portal,
46
00:01:39,424 --> 00:01:41,204
and it's called BizFile.
47
00:01:42,545 --> 00:01:45,685
And I I used it most recently
48
00:01:46,865 --> 00:01:47,605
to terminate
49
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:49,819
hopping hot sauce
50
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:51,980
because
51
00:01:52,359 --> 00:01:54,060
I have trouble, like,
52
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,620
moving a piece of paper
53
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,219
between rooms
54
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:00,299
of my house.
55
00:02:01,515 --> 00:02:04,415
And so I have a wall. I obviously,
56
00:02:04,635 --> 00:02:06,094
I could do outside,
57
00:02:07,594 --> 00:02:10,495
no. Sorry. I could do phone sales.
58
00:02:11,915 --> 00:02:14,895
I can't really get out there and pound
59
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:15,855
the pavement.
60
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:17,800
Anyhow,
61
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:20,280
I have multiple sclerosis,
62
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:21,240
and
63
00:02:21,780 --> 00:02:25,000
I'm confined to a wheelchair often,
64
00:02:26,419 --> 00:02:26,919
to
65
00:02:27,379 --> 00:02:27,879
traverse
66
00:02:28,419 --> 00:02:28,919
longer
67
00:02:29,379 --> 00:02:29,879
distances
68
00:02:30,419 --> 00:02:30,919
or
69
00:02:31,474 --> 00:02:33,334
to be out for longer
70
00:02:33,634 --> 00:02:34,134
durations.
71
00:02:36,514 --> 00:02:37,655
And I've
72
00:02:38,354 --> 00:02:38,854
survived
73
00:02:39,875 --> 00:02:40,375
Trigeminal
74
00:02:41,074 --> 00:02:41,574
Neuralgia.
75
00:02:42,995 --> 00:02:46,375
I'm over going over all this stuff
76
00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:50,730
every time I do my podcast, but that's
77
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:53,389
what this podcast is about.
78
00:02:54,010 --> 00:02:55,629
This is the tenth
79
00:02:56,169 --> 00:02:56,669
season
80
00:02:57,129 --> 00:02:58,990
of the podcast. It means
81
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:02,030
I've been doing it for ten years.
82
00:03:03,105 --> 00:03:03,605
And
83
00:03:04,224 --> 00:03:05,125
to really
84
00:03:05,425 --> 00:03:07,525
just kind of mark myself,
85
00:03:08,305 --> 00:03:09,685
I've had five
86
00:03:10,385 --> 00:03:10,885
surgeries.
87
00:03:11,344 --> 00:03:11,844
They've
88
00:03:12,465 --> 00:03:14,885
bored a hole in my skull.
89
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:18,549
Okay. Let's get to the book review. Enough
90
00:03:18,549 --> 00:03:19,689
with the surgery,
91
00:03:19,989 --> 00:03:21,849
but, of course, it'll dovetail.
92
00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:24,409
I'll be right back with that.
93
00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:26,729
I
94
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:30,935
I started this podcast to be like, what's
95
00:03:30,995 --> 00:03:33,094
the matter with me? I'm becoming
96
00:03:33,555 --> 00:03:34,055
disabled.
97
00:03:34,754 --> 00:03:35,655
I have to
98
00:03:36,275 --> 00:03:36,775
investigate
99
00:03:38,115 --> 00:03:38,615
this
100
00:03:38,915 --> 00:03:39,415
acquired
101
00:03:40,355 --> 00:03:40,855
disability
102
00:03:41,395 --> 00:03:42,455
that I'm currently
103
00:03:44,459 --> 00:03:47,580
going through. I'm still going through it. It
104
00:03:47,580 --> 00:03:49,280
it will never stop.
105
00:03:50,459 --> 00:03:53,580
Earlier on in this podcast, I said I
106
00:03:53,580 --> 00:03:56,319
will never stop making this podcast.
107
00:03:57,819 --> 00:04:00,875
And in fact, I I almost certainly
108
00:04:01,495 --> 00:04:04,635
all things must end. Think of everything must
109
00:04:05,335 --> 00:04:05,835
pass.
110
00:04:06,135 --> 00:04:09,974
Think about George Harrison, All Things Must Pass
111
00:04:09,974 --> 00:04:11,995
Away. That's a good tune.
112
00:04:12,534 --> 00:04:14,235
I bought that album,
113
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:16,100
George Harrison,
114
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:18,740
All Things Must Pass.
115
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,139
I bought it
116
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,060
for my wife,
117
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,060
or I recommend it. I I'm too cheap.
118
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,699
I probably just said it was good.
119
00:04:30,665 --> 00:04:32,285
That's, like, my cultural
120
00:04:32,585 --> 00:04:35,085
capital. I'm giving it to you too.
121
00:04:35,625 --> 00:04:36,125
Anyway,
122
00:04:36,425 --> 00:04:38,444
I all things must pass.
123
00:04:39,705 --> 00:04:42,990
So I will stop doing this. I can't
124
00:04:42,990 --> 00:04:45,729
do it forever, but I won't ever
125
00:04:46,029 --> 00:04:48,449
I won't ever be know what it's
126
00:04:49,069 --> 00:04:49,649
it's like
127
00:04:50,269 --> 00:04:52,769
to walk this earth without
128
00:04:53,149 --> 00:04:53,649
MSN.
129
00:04:54,509 --> 00:04:55,490
The PTSD,
130
00:04:56,509 --> 00:04:58,289
I carry with me,
131
00:04:59,285 --> 00:05:00,345
having survived
132
00:05:00,725 --> 00:05:01,225
trigeminal
133
00:05:01,685 --> 00:05:02,185
neuralgia.
134
00:05:02,564 --> 00:05:04,504
Like, so let's get to that.
135
00:05:05,685 --> 00:05:06,584
This holiday,
136
00:05:06,964 --> 00:05:08,904
I bought someone a book.
137
00:05:09,444 --> 00:05:10,824
My aunt Barb,
138
00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:14,509
I bought her a book because
139
00:05:14,889 --> 00:05:18,669
my whole life, she's been sending me books.
140
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:24,110
And her husband is my dad's
141
00:05:25,064 --> 00:05:28,185
big brother was my dad's big brother. My
142
00:05:28,185 --> 00:05:29,485
dad passed away,
143
00:05:30,584 --> 00:05:32,444
a week before Thanksgiving.
144
00:05:33,785 --> 00:05:36,185
So it's kinda been on my mind. But,
145
00:05:36,185 --> 00:05:37,384
anyway, I sent,
146
00:05:39,569 --> 00:05:41,349
this book to Barb,
147
00:05:42,129 --> 00:05:42,629
and
148
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:45,269
it's by Keith McNally.
149
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:49,110
And he's a New York restauranteur.
150
00:05:54,375 --> 00:05:57,194
Alright. There, I got a call from scam
151
00:05:57,254 --> 00:05:57,754
likely.
152
00:05:58,935 --> 00:05:59,995
Loan advisors
153
00:06:00,535 --> 00:06:04,134
giving me advice on something. Anyway, I don't
154
00:06:04,134 --> 00:06:06,475
have a loan. I don't want advice.
155
00:06:07,669 --> 00:06:09,449
So anyhow, Keith McNally's,
156
00:06:09,909 --> 00:06:12,169
I regret almost everything.
157
00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:14,089
There we go.
158
00:06:15,269 --> 00:06:16,250
The entertaining,
159
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:20,409
irreverent. It's got a 3.88
160
00:06:20,870 --> 00:06:21,370
on
161
00:06:22,964 --> 00:06:23,865
Good Breeds,
162
00:06:24,805 --> 00:06:27,145
and I think that's about right.
163
00:06:27,845 --> 00:06:30,324
A little bit less than four out of
164
00:06:30,324 --> 00:06:31,384
five stars.
165
00:06:32,165 --> 00:06:33,865
But for me, it had,
166
00:06:34,485 --> 00:06:35,545
a lot of
167
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:37,600
resonance
168
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:40,160
because he's been through kinda
169
00:06:40,779 --> 00:06:41,279
similar
170
00:06:42,699 --> 00:06:43,199
experiences.
171
00:06:44,939 --> 00:06:46,319
And my life
172
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:48,160
crossed paths
173
00:06:48,779 --> 00:06:49,680
with his
174
00:06:50,524 --> 00:06:51,185
kind of
175
00:06:51,645 --> 00:06:52,145
tangentially.
176
00:06:52,605 --> 00:06:54,305
I used to sell pork.
177
00:06:54,764 --> 00:06:57,504
I used to work for this company, Heritage
178
00:06:57,645 --> 00:06:58,625
Foods USA,
179
00:06:59,404 --> 00:06:59,904
which
180
00:07:00,205 --> 00:07:01,425
is kinda like
181
00:07:01,964 --> 00:07:04,865
which it was trying to be, like,
182
00:07:05,939 --> 00:07:06,759
the Omaha
183
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:07,720
Steaks
184
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:08,759
of pork.
185
00:07:09,379 --> 00:07:13,300
So they sold, like, heritage breed pork, really
186
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:14,120
good quality
187
00:07:15,860 --> 00:07:17,000
pigs and
188
00:07:18,754 --> 00:07:20,774
rearing, and it tasted
189
00:07:21,154 --> 00:07:22,055
really good.
190
00:07:22,435 --> 00:07:25,074
Anyhow, I used to sell him pork at
191
00:07:25,074 --> 00:07:26,134
his restaurants,
192
00:07:27,314 --> 00:07:27,814
Pulino's
193
00:07:28,354 --> 00:07:29,175
and Balthazar
194
00:07:29,954 --> 00:07:30,454
and
195
00:07:31,669 --> 00:07:33,930
all his restaurants in Manhattan.
196
00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:36,329
I went to,
197
00:07:36,709 --> 00:07:37,769
his restaurant,
198
00:07:38,069 --> 00:07:38,569
Polino's,
199
00:07:39,669 --> 00:07:42,649
after he opened it, and Sean Lennon
200
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:45,930
was there outside in a top hat,
201
00:07:46,854 --> 00:07:47,354
sitting
202
00:07:47,654 --> 00:07:50,634
outside on the street. I was like,
203
00:07:53,334 --> 00:07:55,995
So it's kind of like New York celebrity
204
00:07:56,214 --> 00:07:57,834
thing, but also,
205
00:07:58,959 --> 00:08:02,159
yeah, telling this story, a memoir by the
206
00:08:02,159 --> 00:08:02,659
legendary
207
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,620
proprietor,
208
00:08:04,159 --> 00:08:04,659
Balthazar,
209
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,180
pasties,
210
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:07,139
Maneta
211
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:08,740
Tavern, and Morandi,
212
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:12,819
taking us from his gritty London childhood
213
00:08:13,704 --> 00:08:14,764
to his serendipitous
214
00:08:15,625 --> 00:08:17,164
arrival in New York,
215
00:08:17,544 --> 00:08:19,884
where he founded the era defining
216
00:08:20,425 --> 00:08:20,925
establishments
217
00:08:21,544 --> 00:08:23,404
Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg,
218
00:08:24,345 --> 00:08:25,245
and Nels.
219
00:08:26,104 --> 00:08:26,604
Eloquent,
220
00:08:27,419 --> 00:08:30,139
he writes about his stint as a child
221
00:08:30,139 --> 00:08:31,519
actor, his travels
222
00:08:31,899 --> 00:08:33,839
along the hippie trail,
223
00:08:34,460 --> 00:08:36,399
his wives and children,
224
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:38,000
his devastating
225
00:08:38,860 --> 00:08:39,360
stroke,
226
00:08:40,095 --> 00:08:41,475
and his Instagram
227
00:08:42,174 --> 00:08:42,674
stardom.
228
00:08:43,534 --> 00:08:45,695
The reason I got into it is because
229
00:08:45,695 --> 00:08:46,754
he had a stroke,
230
00:08:47,214 --> 00:08:49,074
and he had the similar
231
00:08:49,454 --> 00:08:52,654
surgery to mine where they drill a hole
232
00:08:52,654 --> 00:08:54,434
in the back of your head.
233
00:08:54,860 --> 00:08:56,240
For him, they injected
234
00:08:58,220 --> 00:09:02,160
some stem cell treatment. That's where it stops,
235
00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:02,720
but
236
00:09:03,259 --> 00:09:05,740
I don't I didn't get that. But what
237
00:09:05,740 --> 00:09:07,680
we did have in common
238
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:10,894
is they and I remember
239
00:09:11,274 --> 00:09:11,774
this
240
00:09:12,475 --> 00:09:15,375
via this book. I was like, oh, yeah.
241
00:09:15,754 --> 00:09:18,414
They did that. Where they they
242
00:09:19,195 --> 00:09:21,434
to drill a hole in your head the
243
00:09:21,434 --> 00:09:22,495
way the doctor
244
00:09:22,875 --> 00:09:23,695
does it
245
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:27,779
is they fit your head into this, like,
246
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,139
head shaped
247
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:30,259
contraption.
248
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:32,580
There's a head shaped negative,
249
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,340
space.
250
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,460
You put your head in there,
251
00:09:37,774 --> 00:09:40,434
and they thread all these screws,
252
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:44,995
to your head. They screw,
253
00:09:45,695 --> 00:09:48,274
like, a lot of screws. Dozens,
254
00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:50,190
I'm sure.
255
00:09:50,509 --> 00:09:53,250
And a lot of them quite tightly
256
00:09:54,110 --> 00:09:56,610
to your head to keep it still,
257
00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:59,470
because they have to drill a hole through
258
00:09:59,470 --> 00:10:00,370
your skull,
259
00:10:00,830 --> 00:10:02,929
and they can't have your head move,
260
00:10:03,389 --> 00:10:04,129
and then
261
00:10:04,514 --> 00:10:07,335
drill your brain and your your toast.
262
00:10:08,115 --> 00:10:10,855
So this is, like, very delicate.
263
00:10:11,795 --> 00:10:14,295
But, also, it's, like, inhuman,
264
00:10:14,995 --> 00:10:17,715
like, going through it. Because I was on
265
00:10:17,715 --> 00:10:19,014
Twilight Anesthesia,
266
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,120
and they were screwing these things into my
267
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,820
head really tightly.
268
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:26,820
It was very painful.
269
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:30,579
And I forgot about it because
270
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:34,179
this is when they put the anesthesia
271
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:37,634
up, because it's right before they drill a
272
00:10:37,634 --> 00:10:38,855
hole in your head.
273
00:10:39,235 --> 00:10:40,934
So I forgot, but then
274
00:10:41,315 --> 00:10:43,894
reading this, I remembered that
275
00:10:44,434 --> 00:10:46,995
this happened to me. And then I was
276
00:10:46,995 --> 00:10:48,534
like, you know, medical
277
00:10:50,019 --> 00:10:52,840
stuff, it it doesn't matter. Stroke,
278
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:54,040
MS,
279
00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:56,600
whatever you is your
280
00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:57,480
ailment
281
00:10:57,940 --> 00:10:59,080
of choice or
282
00:10:59,460 --> 00:11:00,840
your ailment of
283
00:11:01,274 --> 00:11:02,095
of random,
284
00:11:03,194 --> 00:11:04,574
luck of the draw
285
00:11:06,794 --> 00:11:10,174
is is that to solve it, the doctor
286
00:11:11,115 --> 00:11:11,615
uses,
287
00:11:12,074 --> 00:11:13,214
like, inhuman
288
00:11:13,995 --> 00:11:14,495
methods.
289
00:11:15,194 --> 00:11:16,289
That's science.
290
00:11:16,910 --> 00:11:17,410
Scientists
291
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:20,129
and doctors don't have
292
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:22,049
to make things
293
00:11:23,309 --> 00:11:23,809
humane.
294
00:11:24,590 --> 00:11:26,370
They have to make you survive.
295
00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:30,285
And I I sympathize. I'm not trying to
296
00:11:30,285 --> 00:11:32,065
say they should do it different.
297
00:11:32,605 --> 00:11:35,644
There's no other way. I don't think I
298
00:11:35,644 --> 00:11:37,825
mean, I don't know another way.
299
00:11:38,445 --> 00:11:38,945
And
300
00:11:39,644 --> 00:11:41,965
so this is how they screw a hole
301
00:11:41,965 --> 00:11:43,264
in your head without
302
00:11:43,940 --> 00:11:45,080
drilling your brain.
303
00:11:45,860 --> 00:11:47,720
And it's like inhumane.
304
00:11:48,820 --> 00:11:49,320
And
305
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:51,639
you it made me
306
00:11:52,179 --> 00:11:55,320
as I was reading this book, I regret
307
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:59,315
almost everything by Keith McNally. It is entertaining.
308
00:12:00,014 --> 00:12:00,754
We'll give
309
00:12:01,134 --> 00:12:02,835
it 3.88
310
00:12:02,894 --> 00:12:05,075
on a scale of five.
311
00:12:06,175 --> 00:12:06,915
Fair enough.
312
00:12:08,095 --> 00:12:09,795
I sold the guy pork.
313
00:12:10,490 --> 00:12:11,949
I like that. And
314
00:12:12,329 --> 00:12:13,709
he has survived
315
00:12:14,809 --> 00:12:15,309
inhumane
316
00:12:15,850 --> 00:12:18,350
treatment in the name of medicine,
317
00:12:19,129 --> 00:12:22,269
which is what you have there's no option.
318
00:12:22,490 --> 00:12:24,569
You can't check a box being might be
319
00:12:24,569 --> 00:12:27,434
nice to me. I only want the nice
320
00:12:27,434 --> 00:12:27,934
treatment.
321
00:12:28,715 --> 00:12:30,815
That's not how it works, unfortunately.
322
00:12:32,475 --> 00:12:34,735
But I I it's an interesting
323
00:12:35,035 --> 00:12:38,095
book. And and my aunt Barb, she survives.
324
00:12:38,235 --> 00:12:40,815
She's a survivor of medical care,
325
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,339
and it's not always humane.
326
00:12:43,959 --> 00:12:47,019
But it's, like, to get you better, and
327
00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:48,220
that makes sense.
328
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,279
But there so reading this, I was like,
329
00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:52,779
yeah.
330
00:12:53,254 --> 00:12:55,254
When they drill a hole in your head,
331
00:12:55,254 --> 00:12:56,154
that's not
332
00:12:57,575 --> 00:12:58,075
nice.
333
00:12:58,774 --> 00:13:00,875
That that wasn't nice.
334
00:13:03,654 --> 00:13:04,554
Keith McNally
335
00:13:05,014 --> 00:13:05,174
is
336
00:13:06,054 --> 00:13:08,920
he goes on to say that he's
337
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:10,440
traumatized
338
00:13:10,899 --> 00:13:12,920
by the sound of the drill.
339
00:13:13,779 --> 00:13:14,279
And
340
00:13:15,540 --> 00:13:16,679
I I sympathize
341
00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:18,040
with that because
342
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:19,879
he's into construction
343
00:13:20,754 --> 00:13:21,334
and renovating
344
00:13:21,794 --> 00:13:22,294
restaurants.
345
00:13:23,235 --> 00:13:25,634
So that must be a bummer. He's a
346
00:13:25,634 --> 00:13:26,454
drill man.
347
00:13:26,914 --> 00:13:28,375
Hammer and nail guy.
348
00:13:29,554 --> 00:13:32,195
Probably, at this point, he's too old to
349
00:13:32,195 --> 00:13:32,934
be anything
350
00:13:33,554 --> 00:13:34,850
but in the way.
351
00:13:35,149 --> 00:13:37,169
But I sympathize still.
352
00:13:37,789 --> 00:13:40,110
And it's a good book. Check it out.
353
00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:42,049
It's a 3.88
354
00:13:42,269 --> 00:13:43,089
on Goodreads.
355
00:13:44,429 --> 00:13:44,929
Story,
356
00:13:45,549 --> 00:13:46,850
fancy celebrities.
357
00:13:47,549 --> 00:13:48,190
It it
358
00:13:48,830 --> 00:13:51,664
you know, I give it a 3.88.
359
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:52,565
Check it out.
360
00:13:53,105 --> 00:13:56,225
Anyway, thanks for listening to What's the Matter
361
00:13:56,225 --> 00:13:58,964
with Me season 10. I'm gonna rebrand
362
00:13:59,664 --> 00:14:01,845
the whole thing. I'm calling this episode
363
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,779
X point one.
364
00:14:04,159 --> 00:14:06,659
Thank you for tuning into episode
365
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,500
X point
366
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:11,620
one one one one.
