I like the new studio. You're like a son to me, man. Thank you. You're like a son to me, man. Thank you. Will you please? I'm looking at the scar on your arm let me look at that for a second that's fucking long dude that's longer and then there's another one

that's oh that's not connected all the way oh that's two scars you should bridge it bro you should definitely do it put a little bridge tiniest little bridge like a key west bridge i might have another surgery coming up why because there's still a nerve issue in in here it's in the groove of the bicep and what is it painful yeah it's painful when certain when i do certain basically if i was like i don't want to i don't care to do any activities i wouldn't do it but i'm pretty active and i do a bunch of different things and i get it fired up when i do them and he was like how important is it for you to address i was like yeah i would like to do these things without pain yeah without pain yeah

i have this whole new thing since the surgery down my neck into my shoulder down my right arm and down into my right shoulder blade it's all numbness and pain and that all originates from the spine because everything of course it does that spinal surgeon got all fucked up arm and hand stuff shoulder stuff it's all from the from the spinal surgeons like we're going to do your lumbar mri and we'll do a neurological one on that area back there blue shield silver go fuck yourself has denied that mri They have? Completely denied it. So the surgeon's like, don't worry. We'll do a peer-to-peer with them.

We'll get it cleared. They fucking flat out denied the peer-to-peer. Said, I have to appeal it. I have to go through this whole process to appeal a doctor's professional suggestion. I get an MRI to see why I'm in pain. And I'm assuming it's because probably like you, I immediately, in January, I was out of pocket and everything was covered. You know what I mean? And now they're doing everything they can not to cover that shit.

Sure, of course. You know, like, we're in August. Let's see if we can't bleed this till January. Yeah, yeah. That's probably what it is. It's a whole science. My scar is longer than I thought it would be, but that's a while. Will that get any better over time?

No, I don't think so i mean there you know when at first they gave you this like they have like a state-of-the-art silicone gel you're supposed to put on your scar like every day to what make it like it reduces like the way that you know the cocoa butter do the same thing yeah and i did it like twice i was like whatever um i don't care i wouldn't care yeah i mean every time somebody like when people are like what's that scar from i always go like two tours afghanistan yeah and i just they're like really no no um all right let's get into what we're going to talk about before we do plug everything please whatever you want um yeah you know special uh sledgehammer the newest ones on netflix um what's what else i mean there's podcasts every week on the ymh studios youtube channel and you got no one's out right now

first day we launched first day we launched not today pal um that's right we got a couple other ones coming that uh haven't announced yet yeah and then um yeah i'm i'm doing dates but like just a few here and there i'll announce a 2024 tour you are gonna go back on tour yeah but i'm gonna do it like i'm gonna announce it like probably in november and it's something that'll start in like late january february something like that and go through the spring nothing like the last one though no well I might do I might tour for a few years on it but I'm not gonna do it as aggressive every week no no yeah that's crazy dude it's fucking stupid well I want to talk to you because I you and I have

only talked a little bit about it but I really do want to talk to you about your dad's passing and yeah what's you know where you're at with that now and stuff because you are gone non-stop yeah um and i know like it goes back to at least for you and i we were talking about when your dad was sick i believe at the time he was going to minnesota was there some clinics he was going to see him yeah so the funny thing was that like when it started he was trying to get all the timing right he was diagnosed in 2018 the day like the week before he retired like yeah he worked for 44 years whatever and then we had his retirement party like he had all these people came in town that like he knew and family and then the day after his retirement party was his first chemo treatment so that was yeah but when did he find

out he had it when did they get the notice a little bit before the official retirement and they're like you need to get on chemo and they started chemo that day so he's like time to start retirement and day one was chemo so that that was pretty like he was like you're like because all he was like talking about leading up to retirement was like the things he wants to do yeah can't wait to be retired i'm gonna go spend time with my grandkids travel he had this he goes he would say the same thing to me like in the months leading up he was like your mother and i are very excited about this next chapter and i was like uh-huh i was like what are you gonna do he's like you know your mother's never seen vermont maine uh the

grand canyon and i was like does she give a fuck about that and your mom don't give a fuck about defining things like i was like i sat next to her at that dinner she wanted chicken nuggets yeah she was so he goes you know what we'll do is we'll just get in the car and we'll just drive. And there's no schedule. So we can just stop somewhere and spend the night like a red roof inn and then just drive. I go, you're going to put this 70 fucking four-year-old woman just on road trips? Are you going to put this 70 fucking four-year-old woman just on road trips? So he was sold on it as like, this is an awesome plan.

And then one day, he's told me about this like 20 times. I'm like sitting with my mom and he's over here. And I go, are you really like, you're excited about all these road trips? Like you're going to just be on the road driving for months, seeing fucking Vermont. And she was like, what? And he goes,

yeah, you know, I'll show you all these places. She was like, I don't want to do this. I go, you never told her the idea. He's like,

well, I just thought, I thought I'd take her hostage. That's what he thought. And then she's like, what about the dogs? He's like like we'll find places that could she goes i don't want to do a road trip every day like that he was just talking about going out for like six months in a car yeah in a car no no no just like sit there

sit on the highway park sleep and then he's like here's maine here's me she was like oh cool she doesn't give a fuck about that charlotte don't give a fuck no way dude seeing any of those places she's a horrible travel by the way real quick i have to say this i couldn't get a picture of her they wouldn't let it happen or anything it was she was very protective but the real not the real let me take it back the earlier charo yeah was on my flight um you know could you could whatever really charo charo the first one you're trying to take a picture of her well everyone was trying to get a little picture of the name like no no no no and i was like oh god please let me get this charo no shit i couldn't get a charo recently, just like a few months ago. Yeah, I don't see that happening.

I wonder which one will die first. Between the two charros. I can't believe they're both still around. Way in, everybody. Who's dying first? The first charro. Charro or charro. I bet you the other Charles would have loved that dinner you

took us to just to give people some I like Chick-fil-A we took her to a Michelin three star this is the type of restaurant where if you're following the Michelin guide they're saying it's worth it

to take a trip if you're taking a road trip with your dad yeah it's worth it to take a trip to this place. If you're taking a road trip with your dad, it's worth it to veer off on the way to Maine. They're saying it's worth it to make a trip just to eat here. Yeah. Just to eat here. Just to eat here. Yes. And it was like, I mean, it was an experience, right?

It was an experience. Sick. And everything, she would just like take this. She goes, eat this. I'm like, knock it onto your plate. You're like, what the fuck? No, she wouldn't do that. I would eat my plate like knock it onto your plate you're like the fuck no she wouldn't do that i would eat my plate and clean it then she would take my plate put it in front of her

slide hers over make me look like and then say literally say to me the least you could do is eat your food my son is paying a lot of money for this she would say as they were taking my food yeah psycho she's done that shit to me so many times where like, she goes, thank you so much. And then she just knocks it onto my plate. What do you do? She's like, eat it. I'm like, you eat it. Yeah.

Yeah. No, she wants fries, finished fries, chicken fingers. She's like a toddler. Yeah. And then she eats Starburst. Sometimes you eat some. Yeah. You go by in her bed and then like on the nightstand,

you find like 16 Starburst wrappers. The fuck did you, you ate those before bed yeah she's like i can't stop i can't stop i can't stop and then she eats bread uh panettone which is like that sweet italian bread or toast with jam and woman weighs fucking big she weighs i know you know 115 i think um hasn't gained weight since she got married 46 seven years ago raise it's really and then doesn't exercise doesn't take care of herself doesn't eat anything like nutritious at all and then she'll be like I'm just I'm diet yeah I go maybe try going for a walk and she's like i'll show you this year how i'm going to

take turn things around like okay turn them around she's in dire straits over there it's like always the same so your dad's just goal was to just kind of chill then and just yeah he was so excited he was so excited about it there was the retirement party did you ever talk to him about that like fucking you work your whole life yeah and then i mean because the party the retirement we have a set date we already know when that's happening and he gets the news before that it was no yeah because the the retire i remember it was november of 2018 this is in florida yeah brother came in sister came in um nieces nephews cousins friends like people he worked with you know 30 years ago in ohio 25 years ago in minneapolis like all these people that were like in his life they all came in for this thing that's awesome yeah it was very cool it was very cool

and then yeah then he starts chemo but i had like pretty high hopes for the treatment they said that like what was his diagnosis multiple myeloma and what is that it's a blood cancer so you but is it curable for some people is that why you had high hopes no it's not actually curable and it also doesn't it's not what kills you you don't die from multiple myeloma you die from like others you know like what it causes your body yeah you end up having a heart attack or you know you get the flu but like you don't actually die from multiple myeloma so the big thing though that they try to get people to do with multiple myeloma is get a bone marrow transplant. And so like, you know, one of the best places to do this

is the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. It's one of the world's leading medical facilities. His brother was like a doctor there for 30 years or something. Also, is he the same brother that invented the sagora thing that's the girl basket yeah that's great when you told me that i was like stop it does sound it sounds made up i know what is the sagora bass well so now it's probably kind of dated right so i'm sure that but at the time it was like a pretty state-of-the-art way to remove kidney stones oh so he

was a urologist okay so yeah if you look up cigar basket it'll you know that's kind of like your dad's brother that's my dad's brother yeah my dad my uncle joe and he was a he was a like a world renowned urologist like like fly him to italy to give a speech really kind of shit yeah oh yeah yeah and he was really bright um yeah and he invented that if you if you meet a urologist and you say it they'll be like yeah of course i know what a cigar basket is it'd be hilarious if in their world they all know your uncle and don't know you at all you know what i'm sure like sagora you know sagora you see his last question what you mean the basket we piss it you talking about the kidney stone guy he's doing coffee tells jokes there's only one sagora okay

i met i know i always think it's so funny too like i've talked about this extensively with like when a man's a gynecologist or a woman is a urologist you're like really like a female prison guard at a male like of all the things that came up in med school you're trying to tell me nothing interested you more than dicks like there's or like the the urologist the the male who's a gynecologist and you're like are we all supposed to fucking fall for this like that your interest you just care about the reproductive the vagina so much you just want to help everyone out and then nothing turned me into believing that that's nonsense then when i was like 16 and i hung out so my high school friend's dad is friends with a gynecologist a male guy a male gynecologist who's

in his late 50s he's got this like multi-million dollar house on the beach and he's having a party he's got this like multi-million dollar house on the beach and he's having a party it's like chicks hanging out you know he's got a gold chain white hair and i'm like this he's seen all their pussies yeah what's up sharon yeah and there's like those girls like making out and stuff and we're like oh yeah we're teenagers you know so i'm like i don't know i talked to him for a minute he's like on his grill and i go can i ask you a question he's like yeah what's up i go so how did you like how does your mind differentiate i'm thinking i'm asking like a very clever question i think for a 16 year old like this is a patient versus this is like a woman with her legs open and he goes he just flips a burger and he goes pussy's pussy that's a doctor and i was like okay i was expecting like a course of doctors

yeah yeah some medical explanation well pussy's pussy i was like very cool that's so absurd i mean i went to school for eight years you know what i mean plus also though let's look at it this way yeah he might have been like this is the best thing i can ever do and then three years in he'd be like what the fuck did i do and now he's got to do it and he's just sick of it yeah yeah you know what i mean he's seen he's not in there i remember being in i will never forget this is so i feel even looking back as a grown man i feel like it's so early yeah it i will never forget this we're in middle school it's like seventh eighth grade yeah and the tv show hunter was on had fred dryer

who used to play for the chargers he was like a cop in it and had this attractive brunette that drove this dodge chrysler laser i can't remember what her name was but she was pretty and one of our friends troy just out of nowhere just goes man i'd like to be her gynecologist and we all start laughing yeah you know but like and i think about it like first of all that's very early seventh grade to say some shit like that. And then you start thinking about it over the years because it's made me think. Yeah. You're not seeing the best of the, you're seeing problems.

You're seeing problems. Issues. Like shit, you might only see one. Problem pussies is what you're seeing. Problematic pussies. Yeah. Yeah. And you're all up in them too.

Oh, you're fixing it. it yeah your face is right right next right it's a problematic pussies yes you're not being like oh look at this this is wonderful i went to this reception that's like honoring my uncle when he was still alive um he died too he did as well yeah and then my dad's younger sister died uh All within how long? Well, he died. Joe died like more than 10 years ago. Oh, he went first? Yeah. Was he the oldest?

Yeah. Yes. And he had, what is it? Mesothelioma, I think. And he was exposed to- Asbestos and all that work. Yeah. I forget where he was that he was exposed I mean my dad

was exposed obviously to Agent Orange and stuff in Vietnam my aunt Anne was uh she went from from diagnosis to dying in like 90 days get tough of what she had a form of leukemia didn't like she was just like I feel tired like she went on a hill tired. She was just like, I feel tired. She went on a walk. I feel tired every day. Yeah, she's like, I feel really tired. And they just ran a bunch of tests. And they're like, you have stage four.

Take her in. And it's during COVID. So family can't. They start keeping people up. Dies in a couple months. What do do you do you get 90 days do you just not take the chemo and live it out or do you try to go get the chemo and extend it a little long knowing what I know now see what I've seen I probably just go home and just let it yeah if I was that far along yeah yeah stage four i mean that's bad 90 days what are we going to get out of that even if we do chemo another two months of of horrible quality at all yeah no no dude but

this i have to tell you this that um i'm at this reception i'm like yeah yeah post these policies that's when i was 16 right now i'm 24 and i'm at this thing for my uncle and there's all these urologists and like my family's there and then they go and i have that thought about when an opposite gender their specialties the generals or the other and they go this is dr so-and-so this woman um and you know i go oh yeah what kind of what's your specialty like i'm a urologist and i go so you like dicks and my cousin goes tommy like like and my dad's over here and he goes like shakes his head he's like don't do that and i go i'm sorry i'm sorry so the lady kind of laughs and she's like uh i go okay i go i love them i go all right i'm sorry about that i go but what's like the biggest flaccid one that you've held and she's like uh and they just start laughing and then she won't tell me

she wouldn't she wouldn't tell me it had to be that big it had to be an elephant trunk or something yeah yeah flat some i'll be like give me flaccid numbers old too i think so yeah probably in his late 70s just just tired of it like here here, this is what I'm dealing with over here. This thing's causing me more problems than you would believe. No one's touching that. I got dick problems. It's a horse dick. Yeah.

You know who you can put it with in these problematic pussies over here. That's what you should be doing. There's a real big one over here, too. That guy with the big horse, the older, he's got to have, what's it called? He's got to have what's it called he's got to have a um like a fedora i feel like a guy with he's got a fedora let me take my hat off set that down on my dick just set it right on his dick out here um all right so your dad yeah back to your dad so so he starts chemo day after yeah the big time and then the big thing is like they're in florida he's got all these ties to the mayo clinic his brother my uncle's daughter

also a doctor at the mayo clinic um and he knows like it's world we're now like you know it's like the best the best at the mayo clinic fucking saudi kings fly to the Mayo Clinic is that right yeah one in Minnesota yeah so he's consulting with them being treated in Florida and then okay we're gonna do a bone marrow transplant so historically people who get bone marrow transplants with multiple myeloma get a minimum of a five-year life extension. Okay. And sometimes they keep living. Tom Brokaw has multiple myeloma.

Still? Yeah. Oh, okay. It doesn't go away. Even when you replace the bone marrow? You get it in remission, but you still are genetically predisposed to this shit. Okay. So he goes up there.

And you know when you had major surgery like we're doing this there's a one percent chance that like this can go wrong this is what they told me this is yes i'm the yes completely he gets he gets his bone marrow transplant goes into septic shock codes he did yeah heart stops for 20 minutes your dad's heart stop for 20 20 minutes they do CPR I mean they told me later they go CPR at another medical facility or like EMT or something they go they would have stopped at like 7 to 12 minutes or something you know like but they did it for 20 minutes at the mayo clinic how i mean they just the machine's just breathing for you and his but his heart stopped heart stopped and they just keep trying to revive them they were trying to revive them for 20

minutes and they brought him back they brought him back did you talk before he passed did you talk to him about anything well we talked a long time we talked a lot about so when he's there and uh this is before i think this is before yeah i guess sorry i can't imagine coming to and someone being like you died for 20 minutes and then hearing that as the person he also didn't remember this huge chunk of time because he went, when he went into like septic shock, you know, like your body shuts down.

And he was like, I went and visited him at one point. And, um, you know, like his eyes moved and he was like mouthing something, but he had tubes in and he didn't seem like, seem like a hundred percent there. And they're like had tubes in and he didn't seem like seem like

a hundred percent there and they're like oh yeah he doesn't know like really what's going on or have much reference for what's happening where he is any of that and that time he also like when I on that trip I'm visiting him at the Mayo Clinic it's 2019 it's like march of 2019 and he has like his stomach has filled up with fluid like just his body is like distended stomach like he's in this bed and i'm like why is his stomach so big and they're like those fluid is just building up so doing like stomach draining it's crazy and like i know there's 20 tubes like you know you're seeing like what is this exiting out of this tube it's like black you know like just all kinds of things going on with him sideways and that's when like the doc one of the doctors pulled me aside

and he was like he was like hey man pussies pussy and I was like you're the second doctor that said that he's like I've been looking at it all day I'm sorry this hospital is full of it there's so much not top shelf pussy here right so this is the guy that has to pull you aside and give you the bad news he basically goes he

how's he say it with without saying it he tells me your dad's probably gonna die right now is what he you know i mean now yeah like because i'm there and i'm visiting i like my mom and my sister i i get them i get them all in apartments i know he's going to be there for a while i get them an apartment in rochester um and like in rochester gets so cold uh that like yeah they say they have three winters there they it's connected tunnels yeah right so that like when you instead of like going from your apartment to the hospital um like like you would just walk right there it's all oh is that right yeah yeah so you take your elevator down and then there's just a tunnel you never have to go outside especially because there's so many

patients there you know so when i visit i'm like i i was in i think New York I fly to Rochester Minnesota and I'm like I'm coming to I don't realize the shape that he's in at this time I'm like oh my god and that I see like how sick he is because it's much worse than I I had imagined and they're like yeah just everything that could go wrong like you with you you know in a certain way everything has gone wrong like he's you know body didn't take to the foreign you know entities entering and like they rejected things and he got septic you know like the worst infection you can get like and then you're trying to beat an infection while somebody has a vulnerable system. It's like. So let me ask you about bone marrow.

Is that like. It's delicious. It is. I had it with you in Iowa. Where were we that night? That fucking. And he was like 14. Remember that chef came out of the bag.

He's like, I don't know. I just fuck around at home. Or like. Remember that guy? That was amazing. Yeah. That was that restaurant that's connected to Piedmont Steaks, I think. Yeah.

And he stayed open for you, and it was so fucking good. That's the best bone marrow I've ever had in my life. Yeah. It was one of the best meals I've ever had. It was Iowa, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Wait.

Is it Iowa, or was it Nebraska? Wasn't it Lincoln? No, because I feel like – I can't remember, because I feel like Lincoln was really bad because i feel like lincoln was really bad weather that night and it was a fire in la and we did lincoln and got right to hell on the plane and got out of there i don't know it's so all right you know how it is it's the many i'm in a row i can't remember but yeah but i wanted to ask you bow mare do you have to be a match or anything like that or is it just good question is it like blood where you just have to have that

type or whatever i don't. I honestly don't remember. I used to know this. And I'm just curious how extensive that is. I used to know this and that definitely has left my mind now. I don't remember.

Okay, so everything's gone wrong. Yeah, and that doctor, he goes. He did what your dad did when you said, do you like this? He just went. Yeah, he was wrong. Yeah, and that doctor, he goes. He did what your dad did when you said, do you like this? He just went. Yeah, he was like. Yeah. He goes, because my sisters were like, my younger sister and my mom,

they were so in it like every day that they were like very emotional about things and they couldn't like, you know, they were like, don't lift his head up when you do that tube. He doesn't like that. And the doctor is like looking at me and i was like i did the thing i was like i you know of course ignore them like

they don't know they think they're telling you something he's like yeah we have to move his head i go no i know like just do it and don't tell them and you know because they're like no like we know i was like they don't know so then i was like so what's what are you gonna do next and he's like well he started to go like kind of like nod like i could talk to you right i'm like yeah he's like do everything we can man sorry like it's not much take him down try to do this without operating blah blah i mean the message was there it was like i don't think this is gonna go well and i was like okay shortly after like i'm in this like uh patient family room i break down crying because i know he's about it was like i believe he's about to die i cry like really hard i um i'm with my mom i cry really hard with her and i was just like you know i had to get back

to my family so i said goodbye and i was like i knew that the next call was gonna be he died and that like that was like march like march april 2019 i don't know how he fucking made it out of there. Yeah, I remember you telling me. I called and checked. You're like, he's doing a lot better. And he went back to Florida, didn't he? He like left there?

Yeah, so I flew to Rochester and flew him home. Yeah. I flew him home from Minnesota. And they can't even explain it either? Just something happened where it took all of a sudden? Well, the big problem was he had to beat this infection like you know he he had the transplant but the transplant had so many complications so once the body can beat that infection and he can start to get stronger he did he didn't yeah and and

was able to beat how long after they gave you the news that he might not he's not going to probably make it here how i thought every day he was going to be dead yeah and then pretty like the next thing they told me i remember was that he was out of it and like not you know not moving like a icu patient for like 17 days. Jeez. So his legs completely atrophied. Like he couldn't walk. And the fucking thing is, you know, like this was, they were like, yeah, like we found him on the floor. Like they go, don't, this is like once he came to,

so you don't walk, so don't get up out of bed. And he's like, okay. And then he was like, I just felt like walking. So I got up and just fucking fell, you know? Like, and you go, but they just said, don't don't get up out of bed and he's like okay and then he was like i just felt like walking so i got up and just fucking fell you know like and you go but they just said don't walk and he's like yeah i know i'm like okay it's crazy like your parents you're like the fuck is wrong with you man they just said you can't walk and he's like i just felt like it and i'm like okay so like ate shit you know his legs gave out then he had to like learn to walk again. And then he's finally like recovering, you know, because then it's like back to PT and like, you know, you got to build up some leg strength and leg muscle.

And he's finally like, I take him, I take him at the end of that year. I believe it was the end of that year to hawaii for new year's take my parents there with my kids and everything and starts new year and he's like i'm real excited about this year and like just getting out there and living life it's 2020 oh so like february march they're like stay home yeah especially if you're immunocompromised yes so he spent the majority of the life he had left just like inside with your mom just the worst punishment being inside with my mother like he could have just gotten that car and drove anyway into the ocean would have been better yeah j should have just fell in the weeds. Jesus. Can you imagine what a punishment that was to spend?

That's how you went out. That's terrible. He finally, towards the end of his life, he used to never say this. At the end of his life, he's like, your mom's being a real bitch today. It took him that long. I'm about to be out of here.

I was like, you just figured that out oh man i mean i really it sucked for him you know i that does suck you're gonna retire and you're gonna live okay you're gonna live this life all right well now that's abbreviated all right okay it's abbreviated yeah but got at least the next couple years here I made a recovery like you do but you know I'm just gonna be stuck inside the whole time like what I remember the one of the last things the last I you have people ask like my regret my only regret I want to ask is that I didn't I didn't think I didn't see the end coming like I knew that he was not remissioning where obviously didn't see the end coming. I knew that he was not in remission anymore.

Obviously, it didn't last the five years. It only lasted a couple of years. If I could go back, I would have spent a lot more time with him in those last few months. But I was like, I remember in August, August, September, I go to Cabo. And Christina, it's her idea. I have to give her credit. She was like, well, I go to Cabo and Christina, it's her idea. I have to give her credit. She was like, well, I think she's, yeah. She goes, why don't you fly your dad out with, to be with you for a couple of days to Cabo?

And I was like, I go, yeah, I like, you know, I mean, I almost didn't. It's one of those things where I was like, yeah. So I reach out to him. I go, what if I fly you to Cabo? And we just hang out here for a few days and this is september of 21 yeah september of 21 and he's like it's like late august early september you know like in that range he's like yeah you know it's uh you know my mom she's like i don't know you know it's complicated he's not that comfortable he has to get i go i'll charter a flight like i'll send a

plane to fly you from like basically you just drive down the street it flies you to cabo yeah and then we hang out for a few days and then it'll fly you home and he's like really i go yeah so i do that he gets there he gets i'm already in cabo and i go i see the car pull up and you know i go how was the flight you? He flew on a PJ just for you. He goes, I thought it'd be bigger. Right away. He's done giving a fuck what he says at this point. At this point, I was like, cool.

It was neat. But I thought it'd be bigger. You know what that caused. I was like, Jesus Christ. Neat. call jesus christ neat first thing he does is order like a double bacon cheeseburger with fries and of course i don't realize how like thinking how far along his sickness is i'm like i'm about to say something about what he's eating because i was like jesus man and then he's like i'll have to fucking listen to your mom and sister give me shit about this and he starts i was like, Jesus, man. And then he's like, I'll have to fucking listen to your mom and sister give me shit about this. And I was like, all right.

And I was like, all right, I'll just let that go. And then we have, I think the next day I do say something. I'm like, yeah, but you know, don't you think you should like, as a recovering patient, like maybe try to mix up some healthy foods? Of course it goes, no. It's like every conversation. And it's just like okay so hangs out a few days flies back and i was like yeah he's not a hundred percent but like did he get around was he walking and stuff fine no walker no cane or did he have a little something i

remember i think i want to say i want to I'm trying to remember whether he was using it. Because he did use a cane towards the end. But I don't think it was on that trip. I don't think it was. So, yeah, we had dinners and we'd just hang out. And he just liked to lounge around, you know, play chess on his fucking iPad. He'd have like 40 games going at once. And then, you know, flies back. And I i was like that was great i was like we really had like a good time hanging out i fly back the next time i believe that i see him is thanksgiving

and i fly we all go to florida and we're like i'm at his house and he definitely has the cane um but like he comes to thanksgiving dinner but he's doing like i got you know instead of like hanging out he's like i want to go back and you're like okay but like it's kind of in line with like an older person or a sick person who goes like i enjoyed the meal i'm gonna go lay down i'm like okay at one point he pulls me aside me and my uncle and he goes just you know he's like this is you know this is not gonna end well this is gonna it's gonna go south and i was like really he goes yeah you're gonna have to like step up and do this and then he tells my uncle you're gonna have to do this and we're like yeah and i'm thinking like

this is what he foresees just like down the line so this is november it's thanksgiving week one month later i fly for christmas for christmas and he um is in bed and is definitely dying like when i get to the house i'm like unrecognizable not speaking like like you know gasping like face everything is like and this is a month and i'm like and my my sister and mom are so like out of it they're like yeah you know we have the appointment on monday and i'm like yeah and they're like yeah I think you know like I don't know what treatment they're gonna suggest and I'm like so thrown by it I'm like huh what because I realized they're just so in it sure doing what they don't see it protocol yeah it's like when somebody is in a relationship and they don't see, they can't see what the other person's like, you know, they just can't see the, how sick he is.

They're like, yeah, you know, so we'll see that guy on Monday. And then hopefully next week we'll get, and I'm like, this guy's about to die. Like I could tell. I was like, we got to go to the hospital. And they're like, what? And he's like, you know, he's like, I don't want to move. I'm like, no, you like, I mean's like i don't want to move i'm like no you like what i mean i'm like we gotta get him there we go to the hospital i think we go there and come back

you call 9-1-1 how do you get him forget how i think i forget because i they were kind of dialed into all the people right right i think i want to say that we went there and came home and went back again like over the course of a few days so they let him come home and he went back again because i think he did he didn't want to be there on christmas so we were home and then i was like you know i remember man it was so sad like when we were in the hospital and one of the doctors was like like when we're in the hospital and one of the doctors was like yeah there's no like there's nothing to do and i was like expecting that but my mom and my sister were not really they still had help the whole way a hundred percent a hundred percent they were like what and they're like yeah

this is like this is a not just like he's gonna like he's gonna die very soon full fucking freak out which is like and like you know did that surprise you i kind of not i could see how enmeshed in all of it they were and how hopeful they were and he had bounced back from things so they were like he's gonna bounce back from you know then they like pull up like scans and they're like just all you see is tumors like huge tumors everywhere and then you just see him and you're like this is not this is way past like let's try something different and then um he was doing this thing before how was he 74 he was like they do this thing and they said it's very common with patients that are dying we're like they're like all right like pull me up so he'd sit up in bed put his feet over and he's like I want to go like let's go he'd go get

the car I was like the doctor's like's going to do that like a thousand times. Really? Yeah. And they do that? And they do that. And then he's like, help me lay back down. And he'd lay back down

and then he'd be like, help me up, sit up. He'd be like, go get the car. I was like, what is that all about? He's like,

it's like this, the body, he's like, the medical staff was like, it's just like the body knows it's going to die and it's like antsy at first. It's like.

Like we don't want to. We don't want to. Yeah. Like they're almost like you're resisting. Move. Yeah. Go. Go.

Fight and go, go, go. And he's like, but it's like people who are dying do this. Wow. Then they have. Did you know that? Never. And I had no idea. And then.

Like get up and let's get out of here. Let's get out of here. He's like. And he just kept doing it. Then they have. They call it the death rattle. Yeah. let's get out let's get out of here he's like and he just kept doing it then they have um they call it the death rattle yeah which is like that lung thing you can hear it rattling and they're like oh yeah that's the death rattle um then your car then they when they measure they can your carbon dioxide hits a certain level they're like oh you're the person's

no longer conscious you know but they're still alive and then they're like that's kind of like oh, the person's no longer conscious, you know, but they're still alive. And then they're like, that's kind of like the next state. And then they're like, yeah. At that point, they're like, because they would tell you like, probably going to die in a couple of days,

probably going to die in a day. And then they're like, any minute now. They tell you. You heard that? Oh, yeah. They're like, any minute. You heard the doctors tell you your dad's about to go any minute now. Yeah.

He was in the hospital, wasn't at home. Oh, it was hospital. Yeah, it was hospital. And I was like i was like okay and then like what's that like i mean the mayo clinic visit i was much more emotional because i was arriving and i didn't know what i was going to see and i was shocked even though i was shocked to see him when i visited for christmas i knew that this at this point that this was a sick person who was no longer in remission who was deteriorating so it was it was less shocking also that when i saw him the first time my first thought was like this is that this person is dying

so when they go hey guess what this guy's gonna die i'm like yeah i know you know it was it was much less shocked shocking you know you still it's still emotional i mean i i broke down much harder at the uh the 2019 visit at the mayo uh the thing that broke me hard was at his funeral service the because he's a marine yeah and they play yeah the what is it taps they play that and fold up the i fucking broke down me too dude that one is it was they do the 21 gun salute listen i'm not even joking what i say i feel like they did shoot i feel like seven dudes came out and fired three times i don't think there were 21 i think the math added up i think there were seven dudes except three

but i can't remember i might be totally making that up but we did get a folded flag they present it to you it's so nice that that thing made me cry really yeah that's powerful that is powerful that taps yeah it's just so And I knew how much he fucking loved the Marine Corps. I mean, this guy loved the Marine Corps. He would always say this thing that now I say. If somebody was like, well, you know, I know you're a former Marine. He'd go, there's no such thing as a former Marine. I was like, okay.

So, like, I mean, he loved the Marine Corps. So, like, then these, like, Marines are there and they're saluting you and stuff. And I was like, oh, yeah, that fucked me up bad. Yeah. Yeah. I remember that shit too with my dad. So I ask you this because I woke up to my dad dead. There was no heads up.

There was no deterioration. It was just like which. But what I want to and also at a much younger age I was 16 when I am but I want to ask you this knowing what you went through even though it was ugly and would you rather that or would you rather wake up to your dad's gone no warning no anything I mean because you're watching a man go from health it's very very hard to watch the deterioration the deterioration is really hard I do I am glad I got the time I really do regret not if I had obviously known what I'd known I would have spent September and October like I had no idea that it was going to be sure that fast

um I don't know I think you just want more time you know i don't know i can't tell you now how many times i this i'm 50 yeah i still think of my dad saying you want to run the kmart with me i'm like nah i'm gonna play video games yeah and now yeah how much i would love to take that fucking ride i know oh i know yeah like it like the emotional stuff like i'll be like oh i can definitely talk about it and i get emotional over things i don't expect like what can be well the first one was like because let me just say this yeah i got you by a lot of years yeah and still i'll be in the grocery store and i'll open up the freezer section it might be a song or something and it just hit me and i just like yeah what's happening i gotta get

out of fucking yes yeah what's caught you by surprise one was that so many people have said you know sorry and this and that and you're like yeah and i'm like thanks so much you know appreciate it but just like one guy so like i had a dinner one time and uh there was a a navy seal that was coming to dinner and my dad was gonna come to that dinner oh he was so i was like hey man you gotta sit next to my dad like he's gonna fucking lose his like because he just loves the military loves talking about combat some v like some vets that could be vietnam or any type of vet who have seen combat do not want to talk about it for obvious reasons and he was the opposite he was like what do you want to know

and he would go into detail about everything it just didn't bother him he just enjoyed it i was like when he fucking learns that you're a seal who and like i the guy had already told me some combat things i was like dude he's gonna fucking lose his mind i mean i sat them next to each other my dad almost didn't eat because eat because his whole time he was like. I just watched him like. His back's fucking hurt. I mean, I see him just ear to ear. That's great.

That's great. So like, but I saw that seal like nine months later. And I'm not thinking anything of it. all he all he said was like i was really sorry to hear about your dad man i fucking broke because because it was him yeah and it just got you yeah yeah it's crazy what i'll get you i'll tell you when it gets me um and i don't know if you've had this yet because i have pictures of my dad everywhere yeah and my daughter i guess stella was probably it's gonna be hard to talk about she was young maybe three yeah four tops and um i explained her like you know when i grew up i didn't have grandfathers either one with my mom's dad was already dead and our grandfather died we were born in 73 march he died november 73 so now you know

didn't know him and my daughter doesn't know my dad so there's pictures of him and i just tell her stories all the time all the time and then one night she grabs his picture and she just starts crying i go why are you upset and she's like i miss my grandfather and i was like let me tell you that's not even a scenario you can fathom in your mind. Put your kid's going to miss this person. She's never, I started crying.

I was like, I do too. And then it was just a cry fest the whole time, dude. I'll forget that. He's dead in certain situations. Like what? Well,

like, cause we both, there's a couple of things we both talked about incessantly. Cause what, what was his actual date of uh death when did he pass 29th of december 2022 21 yeah yeah coming up on two years coming up on two years and you still feel some habitual things like you forget well what happens is like there's the things that we would always like talk like you know we talked almost every day we had a really good relationship with him but like certain things we would just talk more about and it's like you know stupid the way we like college football we were both may he got

me into it and then and like the way he would the way he would like to the world your a game is on and like you know interception taken back for like i'm watching the game and he's watching it he'll go uh did you did you see that interception i'm gonna yeah he goes that was such a bad pass and i go yeah and then he just hang up the phone he wouldn't say anything he doesn't hang on you go all right but these calls would happen throughout a game yeah yeah and he would always say did you see that for the game that like he knows i'm like yeah of course i fucking saw i'm watching the game dude so but sometimes i would call him i'm like you got to put on this other game and so sometimes i'll be watching i'm like oh i gotta like i'll forget i'm like oh yeah like i'll forget in that moment the other big thing that we had like a huge affection with and it like it's of course the way the universe works

it's crazy so my dad loved cars he's just like an enthusiast and it was always like articles uh you know do you see like what they came out with for this like it was just something that we would always talk about cars cars cars and so and i loved cars you know and i still do and my youngest is the most obsessed child i've ever seen like i remember loving cars and his love of cars is really 50 times what mine is i mean he can identify 40 manufacturers from their logos stella can do that it's really crazy she really can and she's not into cars but her brother is and she'll be like dots and toyota everything subaru hyundai i'm like damn everything and then he likes to start the cars and he's like does it have a clutch

and then he like can do it with a clutch about the clutch yeah dude and then wow like everything every car we see he goes is that a manual i'm like no it's a fucking corolla and he's like not a manual like no so every car and so he um but so my dad and i do the other day i don't know what it was i didn't tell him but like we were with ellis and there's something like henry ford christina was like yeah he made uh cars you know when she just goes you can do anything and that's it like you can do anything i started thinking about henry ford i was thinking about cars and then you start thinking about my dad and i gotta like put sunglasses on it's just all i just it just all you know i mean it wasn't

really yeah dude yeah i remember that you know what's funny is that my dad was a financial advisor and he was always like pretty conservative. Like would encourage to be financially conservative. Live below your means. You know, he would tell me like, you shouldn't go to Starbucks so much. You know, that adds up. And I was like, okay. And one day I'm like, like starting to do well he's like you know what you should get and i go when he goes a plane a fucking plane yeah a plane and he's like he's

like a lot of the pga guys have one i'm like the fuck are you talking about man he's like oh you travel a lot i'm like get a private own a plane and he's he's like you should have your guys look into it i go i can't believe i'm fucking talking to you right now a couple years later you know it was always car right we're talking about cars cars cars i go i ordered i'm really excited i ordered a car he's like what are you getting i'm getting a porsche he goes you haven't thought about a Ferrari? And I'm like, what? I go, no, I want this GT4. And he was like, oh, he's like, you should really look at Ferrari. I'm like, I think you want,

and that was the truth is that he wanted that. Hell yeah, he did. Yeah. The funny thing is, it sounds so crazy. I can't look, because of some of those conversations i can't look at a ferrari without thinking about him and sometimes crying and people think i'm mesmerized by the car you love this car it should be a bomb i'm like yeah man i love this shit and i'm just thinking about him yeah yeah how do you um how do you keep him alive around the

home and stuff do you tell your kids stories we tell stories pictures up and all that your your mom obviously visits so you still have that presence yeah with him and stuff i think we should do it more i mean everybody like uh you know i mean i like telling like the kids the the boys just love stories so they're like tell a poop story and i'm like you know i mean i like telling like the kids the the boys just love stories so they're like tell a poop story and i'm like you know who's really good at that your grandfather and i'll tell them like when he his pants at the airport or on vacation and they laugh hysterically and they're like does grandpa have more poop stories like yes he does so it sounds terrible but that's one of the stories like the lanes of stories we tell

about him cares it's keeping him alive i saw him i saw him save a drowning girl i think i've told you that before you did yeah how i don't know if i remember that i went on a trip with him when i was i think it was six or seven we were living in ohio we fly down to orlando and uh there's a i still remember that you ever go on a water slide where the pressure of water when you hit the water it's about the derstuka it's so intense yeah you get the wedgie and they tell you to cross your arms and tuck your chin or you hit the water i'm saying when you enter the water what is behind you coming on top of you is really strong yes so like it actually like a push away pushing you down yeah i mean i went on one recently where i was like holy shit like

44 where where is that this was in texas yeah on a water slide where i was like man like i'm talking about the entrance into the water where you're like gasping because it pushes you down well this was like not at a water park this was like at a hotel but i still remember that when you hit the water that it was like a struggle to like it pushed you really hard down i was on the swim team when i was a young kid so like i was a pretty proficient swimmer even at that age but i remember being kind of scared like i remember vividly being like oh my god like when you you ever get caught in a wave yeah and it tumbles you and you're you really feel like i'm never coming up yes yeah recently that happened yes yes it is terrifying it recently did happen to me i was at the fucking you i was getting the pacific and it was just throwing me around and i was like i'm gonna die yeah yeah um

it's so scary it's really scary pants are on that i've been cut all over my chest like it's just fucking people on the beach are like down there yeah like what the fuck they look at you and they're like y'all didn't see that wave right there god damn they're like why are you the only guy in there that's what they're nobody else is swimming idiot i remember the my cousin was like oh this pacific's not as strong as the atlantic i'm like it's way stronger so not even close you know how the pacific you know when when a wave crashes you dive at the break so you can go under and through it well we were doing that all day so long the waves were so big and so powerful it fucked our ears up it gave us massive

headaches and he's like all right this is way stronger out here i was like yeah this is where everybody fucking surfs and everything yeah of course not close not even close um well i remember that pool and the reason i make that distinction is because i remember the fear that that that i felt coming off that slide and then a little while later my dad was like looking into that pool and just sees that there's somebody at the bottom of the pool at the ball they're just down there they're just down there it was a girl uh who had come off that slide got pushed down by that that water and was just at the bottom of the pool he goes down pulls her up puts her on the side and then everybody starts surrounding her they start doing cpr and then she survived damn hell yeah yeah that's great that was cool and then we watched we watched

last question what's that we watched predator in the hotel you remember yeah yeah and then i was like this is wild he's like don't tell your mother i'll let you see this i was like okay all that okay um last question and we're gonna get out of here i want to know this i think about this one actually a lot you got 24 hours with your dad what do you do how do you spend a question man i mean there's definitely a lot of food involved because he loved to eat you know i think about like i remember a lot of his favorite like he he loved pancakes. So I would take that dude for pancakes for sure to start his day. He was like very much not into going far or doing like, we would take father-son trips and then we'd go out,

like you get breakfast and he'd be like, you want to go back to the room? I'm like, we just fucking got there. That's all you'd want to do. Yeah, just sit in sit in the room now and then he wanted to retire and drive everywhere yeah it's very strange like he also had this like anxiety of like get it was always about getting back to the like to the home you know like home he was just like the ready to go ready to go back and you're like i mean we just we just got here he's like okay check it like you know like this this nervous energy of like let's just get back to where we

were the the house or the hotel room and then he's like that's the only time i ever saw him like relax um and khakis in a button-down shirt that was his chill that's close yeah um but i think it would be that i mean it would probably honestly would be like watch a college football game with him that would be live or on tv and talk or definitely on tv yeah i mean yeah he would be i mean i remember going to games with him was the worst it's like the third quarter he's like you want to go he wants to leave the game. I'm like, man, it's a good game. He's like, I know, but there's cars.

Back to the room. Beat the traffic. No, definitely on a couch. Yeah. Yeah, just give him like his favorite treats. Just see him enjoy the food he liked. Hang out. Honestly, watch a game with him would be like i think the best did he get to meet both

of your kids yes he did get to meet yes he was obsessed yeah he was obsessed he had this picture on his phone of ellis when he was like six months old he's smiling and over time my mom was like why don't you change the picture he's like i, I can't change this picture. And he would always show me. He's like, you see, I got it. Yeah, I remember. He's like, I got it still. I'm like, you can change it. He's like, I would never change it. I'm like, okay.
