Podcast Returns Amidst Hurricane

00:00:10
cltruitt22
Welcome back to another episode of the Mythic Giraffe podcast. I'm Chris.
00:00:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
And I'm a hiding from a Hurricane Ron.
00:00:17
cltruitt22
You're not getting much up there, are you?
00:00:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
No, not yet.
00:00:19
cltruitt22
OK, I was about to say, it's rained a little bit down here, but.
00:00:23
Goodmorning Delmarva
Supposed to apparently be real bad this week. And of course, because I'm on vacation, it's going to start with Ring.
00:00:26
cltruitt22
Yeah. Hmm. Yeah.
00:00:30
cltruitt22
Yeah. Well, it's homecoming weekend for my youngest, so that's delightful.
00:00:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, that's fun.
00:00:36
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:00:37
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. and my
00:00:38
cltruitt22
so It really helps me feeling caged in anyway, now not being able to walk around the neighborhood because it's raining.
00:00:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right.
00:00:47
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:00:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:00:47
cltruitt22
Hmm.

Emergency Surgery and Recovery

00:00:49
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. We missed an episode for the first time in a long time.
00:00:52
cltruitt22
He did.
00:00:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
It was entirely my fault.
00:00:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:00:57
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:00:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
Didn't feel out to recording.
00:00:59
cltruitt22
Someone had to have emergency surgery on the 15th after having a bowel obstruction on the 13th.
00:01:04
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:01:07
cltruitt22
So yeah, Friday the 13th sucked for me.
00:01:10
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Yeah, definitely got you. Good.
00:01:12
cltruitt22
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:01:14
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:01:14
cltruitt22
Yeah. But, uh, yeah, better now if they had to open me up to get some of it out. But I'm healing away. It's ah really reminds you how much you use your core for everything when they cut through half of it.
00:01:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
Does that mean you poop faster now?
00:01:33
cltruitt22
No.
00:01:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
But there's less, you know...
00:01:37
cltruitt22
Yeah, but it's it's it was the small intestine, not the large.
00:01:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, but that's the track your poop goes through.
00:01:44
cltruitt22
Yeah, but it still, it kind of, you know, hangs out in the large intestine until it's ready.
00:01:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like, your, like, racetrack is smaller.
00:01:52
cltruitt22
Yeah. I guess, I mean, by.
00:01:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
So your lap times are gonna be better than everybody else.
00:01:57
cltruitt22
Yeah, what, eight centimeters, I think they said.
00:02:00
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, I don't know what the poop time to centimeter ratio is, but I feel like you're faster than the rest of us.
00:02:05
cltruitt22
Yeah, I don't know either. I'll have to ask that at my follow up on Tuesday.
00:02:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
Doc, how quicker, how much quicker can I make for poops? Just, uh, I'll park it here.
00:02:15
cltruitt22
Yeah. Hmm.
00:02:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
If I were timing, and we're in these.
00:02:18
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:02:20
cltruitt22
Yeah. And that's I mean, that was probably one of the most embarrassing things, like after the surgery and, you know, getting the NG tube out and everything and they're, you know, nurse comes in and it's like, so have you made gas?
00:02:36
cltruitt22
I was like, yes, I passed gas. Yay. I'm like, my a toddler. I mean, what the hell is this? I mean, like, I got up and I walked around, you know, the floor a couple of times, like, he's walking.
00:02:47
cltruitt22
I'm like, I'm seriously a toddler again. This is great. And they're like, we'll bring you some jello.
00:02:53
Goodmorning Delmarva
Here's your juice box.
00:02:53
cltruitt22
Which that, yeah. Well, that was something the first, that was my first quote unquote actual meal was like jello and some kind of horrible broth and ginger ale and cranberry juice.
00:03:11
cltruitt22
And I mean, I hadn't eaten and anything in five days. ah just It was so sickeningly sweet, though.
00:03:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, that sounds gross.
00:03:21
cltruitt22
well it's speak I think part of it is because I don't really eat or drink sweets to start with.
00:03:27
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right.
00:03:27
cltruitt22
So having that four or five days in my body was totally gone from it. Yeah, I ate that jello. I was like, oh my god, it's just like eating sugar. ah
00:03:36
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, yeah.

Nostalgia and Sugar Consumption

00:03:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
It is weird, like, when you not say stop eating sweets, but stop eating like pretty processed sugars and stuff like don't drink sodas it's very like when you take a sip of something that's sweet you're like oh my god what is this poison oh my god like every once in a while i'll go get a tea and they'll give me the sweet tea and instead of unsweet tea and i take one sip i'm like oh god people drink this crap but you gotta think like yeah but as a kid i used to drink soda like it was caned you know just
00:03:48
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:03:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whoo. Yeah. Yeah. There are people that add sweetener to it. Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:04:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, Pepsi's, three liter Pepsi bottles, bam, done.
00:04:22
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:04:22
Goodmorning Delmarva
And now it's, oh my God, can't do it.
00:04:24
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:04:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
They really screwed us up in the 80s, didn't they?
00:04:26
cltruitt22
Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. We were so chock full of sugar and caffeine. and
00:04:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
They never once stopped to think, maybe we shouldn't give all these kids all this sugar.
00:04:34
cltruitt22
come
00:04:38
cltruitt22
No.
00:04:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
This can't have any downsides.
00:04:41
cltruitt22
Well, because it was that and it was like, go come back when the lights are on.
00:04:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:04:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Yeah, no wonder we stayed out all day and night, because were to have so much but we were like hummingbirds.
00:04:50
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. And it's like, I saw this meat.
00:04:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
I need more nectar.
00:04:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. I saw this meme and it was like, you know, kids were like, Oh, how'd you, you know, weren't you bored growing up? It's like, no, we we were of the age that our parents had to be reminded to check on us.
00:05:04
Goodmorning Delmarva
Oh yeah.
00:05:05
cltruitt22
Was it like every night at nine 30, 10 o'clock, there was that little commercial it's 10 o'clock. Do you know where your kids are tonight? It's like, yeah.
00:05:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, that's a fair, fair point.
00:05:15
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:05:17
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:05:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
But we were so hopped up on Mountain Dew that, uh, you know, if you stayed inside, oh my, like you had a rainy day.
00:05:19
cltruitt22
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:05:27
Goodmorning Delmarva
It was miserable because you were stuck inside.
00:05:29
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:05:31
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:05:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
It was terrible.
00:05:34
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:05:34
Goodmorning Delmarva
And the reason was we were all methods. We were bounced off the walls because we were on speed basically.
00:05:40
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:05:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:05:42
cltruitt22
Oh my gosh.
00:05:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, I'm not saying that my diet was sugar only, but it's probably a large chunk of my diet as a kid was sugar.
00:05:51
cltruitt22
Oh yeah, I agree.
00:05:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
Every meal was soda.
00:05:53
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:05:53
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, sweet tea, soda, candies, chocolates.
00:06:00
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:06:00
Goodmorning Delmarva
So I wonder if I have weight issues later in life.
00:06:01
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. ah but What do you want for breakfast? Do you want these, you know, chocolate frosted bites of sugar?
00:06:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
I never understood Europeans like hatred of American breakfast until like I stopped eating sugar. And then I'm like, Oh yeah. Like we used to eat candy and covered in milk and call it breakfast cereal.
00:06:22
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:06:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like, like cocoa pebbles is just chocolate candy.
00:06:29
cltruitt22
yeah yeah ah Yeah. And then you would have chocolate milk at the end.
00:06:34
Goodmorning Delmarva
Uh, yeah. And then you just have chocolate milk to just, I missed some of the sugar.
00:06:37
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:06:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
Mmm.
00:06:39
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:06:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:06:43
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like the English.
00:06:45
cltruitt22
But then you've got the weird breakfast. oh Don't eat that.
00:06:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right.
00:06:47
cltruitt22
English breakfast is horrendous.
00:06:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
but I think they eat a terrible breakfast too, but they look at us as weird because we're like, Oh, not. You know, and that's just because as kids, they just gave us so much sugar that you got used to eating sugar all the time that your brain's like, I need more sugar.
00:06:55
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:07:01
cltruitt22
yeah yeah yeah yeah and a little bit of sugar is fine but when it's so much
00:07:06
Goodmorning Delmarva
That's why those, those Epic drugs work so well. Cause they reprogram your brain to stop wanting sugar. It's weird when you stop wanting sugar, you lose weight. Yeah.
00:07:23
Goodmorning Delmarva
Uh, I don't know, me like, I guess, but it's like, if you think, but your brain, I mean, if you're a healthy individual by eating good food, you're going to make like fruits and stuff.
00:07:30
cltruitt22
I mean, your brain runs off of glucose, so.
00:07:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
That's all the sugar you need.
00:07:42
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah.
00:07:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, I, I just, like now I think about like, I don't even imagine a world of sitting down and eating a piece of cake. Like my, for my last birthday, my mother's like, Oh, make it because when I was a kid, she always made me a pecan pie for her.
00:07:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm gonna make you a pecan pie. And I was like, uh, just, just don't, cause I'm not going to eat it.
00:08:02
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:08:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
That's just corn syrup.
00:08:02
cltruitt22
Oh, you could give me some picket. Yeah. Just the pecans would be fine.
00:08:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. Yeah. I'll eat the pecans. Yeah. Roast those pecans up. ah Sounds lovely.
00:08:12
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:08:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
Maybe you put them in a little butter. That sounds great. Little butter and cinnamon. Mmm.
00:08:17
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:08:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
But all that sugar, I can't do it.
00:08:20
cltruitt22
yeah

Tech Troubles and Gaming Nightmares

00:08:24
cltruitt22
Hello.
00:08:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
My continuing hatred of technology has reached a new level of hatred.
00:08:31
cltruitt22
What's happened now?
00:08:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
ah For the last week, only the right earbud of my earbuds will charge.
00:08:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't know what to do.
00:08:41
cltruitt22
what
00:08:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
How to fix the problem As it looks like everything I mean I like clean the contacts with the you know Q-tip and everything I can't find any reason why the left one will not charge and Every time I go to the gym.
00:08:44
cltruitt22
I'm assuming all the connectors are clean and it's making contact. Hmm.
00:09:00
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's like I'm gonna have to listen to some crappy music out of my early left ear and whatever I'm listening to on a radio awesome Yeah, well and
00:09:08
cltruitt22
We'll just put an ear plug in on the left side.
00:09:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
This is the greatest part I discovered on my earbuds, is that if you try to use the left earbud as an earplug, it shuts them both off because it says it doesn't have power.
00:09:20
cltruitt22
Oh, nice.
00:09:23
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, yeah, So all week has been just the...
00:09:25
cltruitt22
Nice.
00:09:28
cltruitt22
Have you tried charging the left one in the right port?
00:09:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
They won't, they don't sit, they only sit one way.
00:09:34
cltruitt22
Oh, no.
00:09:36
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, it's real.
00:09:39
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:09:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's real something.
00:09:40
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:09:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
So I'm about to give up on the earbud experiment and move on to corded old school Sony headphones.
00:09:49
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah.
00:09:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, yeah. Never let you down.
00:09:52
cltruitt22
And then you have that cord that gets snagged on things.
00:09:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
With the big orange foam.
00:09:57
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah, yeah, it looked like you're about to go, you know, cut down a tree or something.
00:09:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, yeah. Never let you down, though.
00:10:06
cltruitt22
Oh, just get the headphones out of the built in radio.
00:10:11
Goodmorning Delmarva
With the antenna, put on my roller, my ah roller skates and skate up to the gym.
00:10:12
cltruitt22
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:10:15
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
My little short shorts.
00:10:19
cltruitt22
Absolutely.
00:10:19
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm here to work out and do lunges.
00:10:21
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:10:22
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Yeah. That's been a real problem. That's been a real, almost nightmare.
00:10:29
cltruitt22
Yeah, that's that's frustrating.
00:10:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, it's, ah you had your issues, but this has been really bad.
00:10:35
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. This this dwarfs mind by comparison.
00:10:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, but by far,
00:10:40
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Yeah, your auditory needs are up there because the gyms play horrible music.
00:10:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, horrible music and my gym does it twice because they have a, they have one set of music playing in the, in the main gym.
00:10:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
And then if you go in like the little squat rack slash bench area, there's a different set of music playing.
00:11:05
cltruitt22
Well, that makes sense.
00:11:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. And Mondays is like hardcore Mexican rap. Is all I can describe it as.
00:11:15
cltruitt22
hardcore Mexican rap.
00:11:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, they're not speaking English.
00:11:17
cltruitt22
All right.
00:11:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
They're not speaking French. I think it's, but I think it's Spanish and it is hardcore rap and it's every Monday.
00:11:22
cltruitt22
OK. Nice.
00:11:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
And I'm like, who picks this music?
00:11:28
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:11:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it's just one poor white dude in like this. I'm the only white guy. I'm the only guy in there. I'm all person in there. It's just like. Can I pick the radio? Nope, no.
00:11:38
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:11:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
yeah
00:11:40
cltruitt22
Hmm. What if they did it like some of the bars where you could like the jukebox where you can pick it on your phone.
00:11:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'd pay a million dollars to be able to do that. Maybe not a million dollars. Stick that back because they're probably listening and they'll be like, oh, I got a new scheme for our membership plan.
00:11:54
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah, exactly.
00:11:56
Goodmorning Delmarva
and Yeah.
00:11:57
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah, if you're a Elite Pro Pro, you get to pick the music on Tuesdays.
00:12:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I don't need that extra jumping jive on my world.
00:12:09
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:12:13
cltruitt22
So Mondays are hardcore Mexican rap.
00:12:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
Hardcore. I decided Tuesday. Like if it was Taco Tuesday, I'd be like, I mean, it's racist, but I understand your thinking. It's always Mondays.
00:12:25
cltruitt22
Huh.
00:12:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
And Friday. Wait, what did I say? It's Friday.
00:12:29
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:12:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
Wednesday was hardcore rap rap.
00:12:31
cltruitt22
Oh.
00:12:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like the rap that you don't want your kids listening to.
00:12:33
cltruitt22
OK, nice. Yeah.
00:12:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
Which is like, I'm listening to Paul Simon in one ear and rap, hardcore rap in the other.
00:12:38
cltruitt22
Yeah, I get.
00:12:42
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's a very disconnected environment.
00:12:46
cltruitt22
Half your body is really giant, you know, just driving the weight. The other one's just like damn here.
00:12:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
yeah go across Yeah, that's a weird life.
00:12:58
cltruitt22
Wow.
00:12:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:13:00
cltruitt22
I wonder if it did anything to your brain.
00:13:04
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, I think about that all the time and how much I've messed up my brain.
00:13:04
cltruitt22
Hearing those that juxtaposition like that.
00:13:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:13:16
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:13:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
So are you getting any good gaming done while you've been resting and recuperating?
00:13:23
cltruitt22
So. What what if I? Oh, the. It was like, well, you know, I could get something, but there's nothing really like right now. I'm kind of waiting for Dragon Age. So I was like, I'll go through the bat catalog. I was like, I tried this game. I never finished. I'll try it again. It's days gone.
00:13:43
cltruitt22
And it's like your motorcycle guy and, you know, the apocalypse has happened and there's zombies. They they call them freakers, but there's zombies. It's like, this should be fine.
00:13:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. The nightmares I had last night. I don't know if I can play it anymore.
00:13:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
Nice.
00:13:59
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:00
Goodmorning Delmarva
Did I tell you what my maniac shift mates tried to do last week?
00:14:04
cltruitt22
Oh, gosh.
00:14:05
Goodmorning Delmarva
I probably didn't.
00:14:06
cltruitt22
Now.
00:14:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
ah It must have been the 14th, that Saturday. We, usually on my shift, Saturday, Sundays, we watch movies after dinner.
00:14:17
cltruitt22
It makes sense.
00:14:18
Goodmorning Delmarva

00:14:54
Goodmorning Delmarva
No, no, no. I still, like my wife thinks it's silly, but i we it wasn't even a very good movie. Probably wasn't even a very scary movie, but that stupid Darkness fall movie Falls movie, I still have nightmares about that movie and I watched it 18 years ago.
00:15:05
cltruitt22
Oh my gosh.
00:15:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
I can't handle horror movies.
00:15:14
cltruitt22
Yeah, i right I never have been able to. But when my wife and I first started dating, we watched a ton of scary movies, because I thought that's what you were supposed to do when you're dating.
00:15:25
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right.
00:15:25
cltruitt22
So we watched it. yeah It was like months into the relationship. And she's like, what scary movie do you want to watch now? She's like, I thought you like scary movies.
00:15:36
cltruitt22
It's like, hell no. She's like, why this whole time? I was like, I've just been suffering because I thought it was the thing to do. Oh, God.
00:15:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
My maniac wife has been reading a book and she's like, I think I have to stop reading this book at night. Cause it's too scary. I'm like, that's then burn it, take it out back and burn it.
00:15:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
Don't watch it.
00:15:55
cltruitt22
Yeah.

00:18:00
Goodmorning Delmarva
She's like, oh, it was a good one though.
00:18:03
cltruitt22
Yeah, that is a good one.
00:18:04
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's complete bullshit. It's just because I'm a pussy, but it's a good one.
00:18:07
cltruitt22

00:18:46
Goodmorning Delmarva
Let me sit down and, you know, oh, to the God's sake, the freaking weird kid.

00:19:04
cltruitt22
Hmm.

Goodmorning Delmarva
Oh God. Oh boy.
00:19:06
cltruitt22
Oh.
00:19:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
That was almost bad.
00:19:09
cltruitt22
Hmm. Yeah. I say we start watching the agatha all along or whatever the new Marvel series.
00:19:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
Mm hmm.
00:19:19
cltruitt22
There's a couple of spooky spots in it.
00:19:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
Mm hmm.
00:19:22
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:19:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, I don't like watching Labyrinth, and I love that movie.
00:19:29
cltruitt22
Oh god. Oh god. I had such nightmares from Labyrinth.
00:19:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, I still do. Those stupid...
00:19:34
cltruitt22
Yeah, Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal.
00:19:36
Goodmorning Delmarva
Eh, thought it was just that it never bothered me as much.
00:19:37
cltruitt22
Oh god.
00:19:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't know why. Maybe because there's no humans in it.
00:19:39
cltruitt22
ah maybe ah Yeah.
00:19:42
Goodmorning Delmarva
But those stupid things that juggle their heads, ugh.
00:19:45
cltruitt22
Yeah. Huh. I was just always terrified that David Bowie was going to kidnap my brother.
00:19:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, I was hoping.
00:19:52
cltruitt22
God, that giant cod piece he had.
00:19:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
I was always worried Dave was going to put his copies on my face.
00:19:57
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:19:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
That was all I was worried about. With his cape over his shoulder.
00:20:01
cltruitt22
There's David and his Bowie.
00:20:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:20:04
cltruitt22
God.
00:20:05
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:20:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
Oh, that runs. Such a good movie.
00:20:09
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:20:10
Goodmorning Delmarva
But boy, they did a lot of drugs back then.
00:20:14
cltruitt22
Oh my gosh, yes. Yes.
00:20:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:20:19
Goodmorning Delmarva
Hard drugs. not like the Not the fun drugs, the hard drugs.
00:20:21
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah. No, it wasn't like they were smoking dope. No.
00:20:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:20:28
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:20:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
Well, on to topic one topic.
00:20:30
cltruitt22
Sure, topic one.
00:20:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
One of we rig and roll today. Let me check down. Oh yeah. We've enrolled enrolled.
00:20:36
cltruitt22
Yes, we've rigged and we've rolled.
00:20:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
So, uh, I'm been obviously on a weight loss journey my entire life. And I'm now working with a dietician, which is, was a benefit of our insurance.
00:20:48
cltruitt22
Okay.
00:20:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
which was nice.
00:20:50
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah, that's delightful.
00:20:53
Goodmorning Delmarva
yeah After talking to my doctor about going to a dietician and she recommended me a service that was not through my insurance, I was like, oh wait, there's one through my insurance, which was great because like I started working with the one through our insurance and then my insurance company called me and said, you never followed up with this other one.
00:21:05
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:21:14
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm working with the one that you guys use.
00:21:17
cltruitt22
Yeah, why why would they even ask?
00:21:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
But I don't know. I don't know. So I guess, yeah, instead of but but that is whole
00:21:22
cltruitt22
So you'd have to pay out of pocket so they wouldn't pay? Hmm.
00:21:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
that That's going to be a part of this rig-a-roll, or this tangent, but the sole idea of health insurance not covering anything that makes you healthy is is bonkers.
00:21:39
cltruitt22
ah Yeah.
00:21:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like, i don't I don't know all the science yet, but it seems like these, what the GLP drugs, the Ozempix and Wagovia, all those things are really, really good for the number one epidemic in America, which is obesity.
00:21:52
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah.
00:21:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
Why is our insurance covering that? It's insane, right?
00:22:04
cltruitt22
Yeah. Well, it's I think it's part of the bigger problem of, you know, the pharmaceutical companies are making the rates and telling people what they should and shouldn't buy.
00:22:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
Sure. And I agree with some people because one of the people I follow really changed my viewpoint on Osempic.
00:22:30
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know his His viewpoint was, if there's a drug that can make you not be obese and lose weight and get you healthy enough to do all of the other things in life that you should be doing, why wouldn't we want to do that?
00:22:48
cltruitt22
Right.
00:22:48
Goodmorning Delmarva
right like If you could take a shot tomorrow and say, I'm never getting cancer again, wouldn't you take that shot?
00:22:54
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:22:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
right like
00:22:56
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Yeah,
00:22:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
There wouldn't be a question. And if the the side effects are, well, you might not like cupcakes anymore. Okay.
00:23:06
cltruitt22
yeah yeah I can.
00:23:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't like cupcakes that much anyways.
00:23:08
cltruitt22
I can.
00:23:10
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, but so like, cause I was ah of the same view, a lot of people, oh, you have to earn your weight loss. Or if you don't earn your weight loss, you're not going to respect your weight loss. Right.
00:23:19
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:23:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
Which is, I think is partially true. Like. The people that go off of these drugs, they, they tend to do poorly because they didn't change anything in their life to file.
00:23:30
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah, they didn't... yeah Well, it's that whole getting the discipline to follow through with it.
00:23:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
But the flip side of that is you just start taking the drug again and you lose the weight again. So if you were, you know, diabetes risk, your heart risk, your hypertension, your, all of those things go down, your cholesterol go down on this drug.
00:23:49
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah.
00:23:53
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:23:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
Man, that's a real hard argument for me to say, why aren't we just giving this drug out to pretty much everybody?
00:23:57
cltruitt22
All right.
00:24:02
cltruitt22
Mm hmm.
00:24:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know
00:24:03
cltruitt22
Yeah. I would think, you know, kind of like you alluded to kind of a one two punch, though, it's like, here's this medicine. And then now that you're feeling better and you're, you know, you're losing some weight and everything, let's, you know, guide you to keep it going.
00:24:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
yeah Yeah. Well. We all know that you're never going to get 100% of people right. But if you get a large percentage of Americans to lose weight and start walking, you know that's that's like 70% of the way there.
00:24:28
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah.
00:24:37
Goodmorning Delmarva
That's a pretty big number.
00:24:38
cltruitt22
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:24:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know If we reduce heart disease by 70% in America, that would be and insane.
00:24:42
cltruitt22
Shoo.
00:24:45
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:24:46
Goodmorning Delmarva
like Insane. um
00:24:50
cltruitt22
We just send the Swift unit out every day and you know, they're like, you know, out on the safari with their Yeah, I don't drink guns and just darting people.
00:24:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
here's your wi go
00:25:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
i mean
00:25:05
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's a crazy world to think of that we could cure obesity.
00:25:11
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:25:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know ah
00:25:13
cltruitt22
Right.
00:25:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't know. i didn't know i don't know i It seems like that's the thing we should be doing. But this has nothing to do with my dietician talk conversation.
00:25:25
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:25:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
ah so I've been working with her for a month now.
00:25:31
cltruitt22
Okay.
00:25:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
I've had some very interesting conversations. And you know i've been looking it I've done every fad diet, that you could i've got the potato diet, blah, blah, blah.
00:25:42
Goodmorning Delmarva
I've done everything. Atkins, I was very successful in Atkins, didn't but didn't like how made we feel. you know we We had all these conversations about it.
00:25:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:25:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
And at the end of the day, she's like, look, I'm going to break it down to you pretty simple. You're active, you just need to work on your macros. Fiber in, protein in. Get your fiber in, get your protein in, and if you're still hungry, eat some snacks and, you know, vegetables. And I was like, that's it? She's like, yeah, that's not a rocket scientist. That's rocket scientist. I'm like, you're not going to tell me don't eat French fries? She's like, no, eat French fries. I'm like, wait a second. This doesn't make sense. she The thing she's yelled at me, you're not eating enough calories.
00:26:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
like She literally maybe tracked for the first two weeks and she's like, you don't eat anywhere near enough calories. You're eating 700 calories less than you're supposed to a day. I'm like, wait a second. I'm supposed to eat less calories than I'm supposed to, right?
00:26:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
She's like, nope.
00:26:35
cltruitt22
Yeah, you're not supposed to be in a calorie deficit.
00:26:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
No. So um weirdly, site side changer. Because I always, I'm like, I would say this way, I'm a lazy scientist or a lazy person interested in the science.
00:26:53
Goodmorning Delmarva
I want someone else to read peer review papers to me. Does that make sense?
00:26:57
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:26:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't want to read the peer review papers, but I want someone smarter than me to read the peer review paper to me.
00:27:03
cltruitt22
Right.
00:27:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
So a sports, basically a bicycle, a cyclist program. It used to be a magazine now.
00:27:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's like a YouTube presence. They had a whole article on a peer reviewed study that was like, It really doesn't matter what number of calories you put into your body. Your body's going to adjust to that number of calories.
00:27:25
Goodmorning Delmarva
So if you say, if you eat a thousand calories a day, which don't do that, your body's going to adjust to a thousand calories a day and you're not going to lose weight.
00:27:30
cltruitt22
Right.
00:27:34
Goodmorning Delmarva
It seems crazy to think that, you know.
00:27:36
cltruitt22
Yeah. If anything, you're probably going to be tired and less productive.
00:27:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right, you're just gonna, you won't be able to work out. You won't be able to do the things you need to do.
00:27:42
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:27:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
So you'd just be unhealthy because you are in your body saying, I can't give up fat because my body needs every ounce of calories I need, right?
00:27:47
cltruitt22
yeah
00:27:55
cltruitt22
Right.
00:27:56
Goodmorning Delmarva
And on the flip side, if you go out every day and you work, you do 3000 calories worth of aerobic exercise, which is a crazy amount of exercise.
00:28:06
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:28:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
And you eat 6,000 calories, your body's going to be like, well, you're not going to lose any weight because you ate 3000 calories. You do, you know, you did 6,000 calories of work. I need to, I need those calories.
00:28:17
cltruitt22
yeah
00:28:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
So the calories don't, I'm not a scientist. ah Be very clear as I put this on the internet. I'm not saying that everything I know is correct, but it appears as long as you're eating your macros and not going crazy and eating like cheesecakes every day.
00:28:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's more about what you put in than how much you put in. That makes sense.
00:28:37
cltruitt22
Makes sense.
00:28:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know Make sure you're getting enough calories. you know Because I work out at least three to 500 calories of work every day, which is a conversation I have with the nutritionist.
00:28:50
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:28:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
She's like, that doesn't mean you get to eat an extra 500 calories with the stuff. That might be your deficit is what you work out.
00:28:58
cltruitt22
Okay.
00:28:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
Eat your calories. Don't have your deficit.
00:29:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
She does others me. She owes me every time because I still pretty much always come under my calories so because I just, I get full.
00:29:10
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:29:10
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like I tell her, I'm like, I can't eat anymore.
00:29:11
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:29:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like I get to 2000 calories and I'm like, I've eaten four times a day. i'm I'm full.
00:29:19
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:29:19
Goodmorning Delmarva
Can't do it. Um, so that's her, like, this may be just her personal crusade, perhapss her crusade is five.
00:29:21
cltruitt22
How much fiber?
00:29:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
So I'm supposed to eat for me. It's not recommended for everybody. Talk to it. Talk to a certified nutritionist was 36 grams of fiber a day, which is a lot.
00:29:34
cltruitt22
Yeah. 36 Wow. Yeah. And I'm assuming she had you step up to that.
00:29:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
No, it was that was.
00:29:47
cltruitt22
Whoo.
00:29:49
cltruitt22
God. Going from low to 36, that's a...
00:29:54
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. And I wasn't low.
00:29:56
cltruitt22
but Yeah.
00:29:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
But I wasn't 36. I was probably in the 15s.
00:29:59
cltruitt22
Right. Okay.
00:30:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
Because I eat oatmeal every day, pretty much.
00:30:03
cltruitt22
That's true. Yeah. yeah
00:30:04
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, pretty much every day I eat oatmeal for breakfast. Not every day, but a good chunk of my days is oatmeal.
00:30:08
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:30:11
Goodmorning Delmarva
um but She was like 36 grams. And then, um, I think she wants me to go even higher, but the step up was to get to 36.
00:30:22
Goodmorning Delmarva
It was like, go from where you're at right now to 36.
00:30:22
cltruitt22
OK.
00:30:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
It wasn't go to 20 then to 25. It was go to 36. Um, that was the,
00:30:29
cltruitt22
Yeah, but ah if somebody is barely eating any fiber and they immediately start taking, you know, like, Metamucil or something, so they get 30 grams of fiber a day, they better be near a toilet for the first few days.
00:30:42
Goodmorning Delmarva
They're going to need to visit the bullet.
00:30:44
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:30:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
She talks to my talks about my poop a lot. ah Uncomfortable conversation, I'm not ready for ever.
00:30:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:30:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
She's like, well, how's it going?
00:30:51
cltruitt22
ah hell
00:30:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm like, it goes. That's all.
00:30:54
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah but yeah that was that was some fun conversations in the hospital. Did we poop yet?
00:30:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:30:58
cltruitt22
No.
00:31:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
She, uh, she'll see out of my protein. This is the one because this is what I like about what she's doing is the first two weeks. She was like fiber, fiber, fiber, fiber, fiber calories.
00:31:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
This is where I want you to rat and fiber. Boom, boom, boom.
00:31:16
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:31:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
Then now it was, let's start working on your protein. You know, cause she's like, tell me about your workouts. Like, how do you measure your workouts? I was like, well, I do the bod pod at the, when I get the chance at work and I do this, they have the but little analyzer at at the gym.
00:31:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
And she's like, here's why you lost a pound of skeletal muscle. Even though you lost a percent of body fat, you also lost a pound of skeletal muscle. You want to put that pound back on without putting the body fat on protein, which I knew it's like, it's so weird.
00:31:48
Goodmorning Delmarva
I try to explain, like I'm 45 years old. Obviously I know a little, but I'm not quite 45, but I'm going to just say 45 at this point.
00:31:53
cltruitt22
and ah
00:31:56
Goodmorning Delmarva
Um, I'm not as old as other people.
00:31:58
cltruitt22
yeah yeah Yeah, some of us are older.
00:31:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
But like, yeah we all we all learned all this, like, I assume, and maybe I'm just making an assumption, and in our lifetimes we've learned you need to eat more protein.
00:32:08
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:32:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
I always heard one kilo one gram of protein per kilogram of body fat or body, ideal body weight or something like that.
00:32:15
cltruitt22
but wait Yeah.
00:32:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's just something we always heard, but to have her, who's an actual, if this is what her job is, to say, this is, I actually want you at 1.7 grams so of protein because
00:32:24
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:32:27
Goodmorning Delmarva
This is why. And she goes through and like, boom, boom, boom, boom. It's been so helpful for me to dispel all the bullshit I've learned because I've learned a lot of bullshit over my life.
00:32:36
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:32:38
cltruitt22
yeah there's Well, there's been a ton of it.
00:32:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right? Well, it's like talked we talked about like working out. Like we just, you and I are of the age that we worked out because we went to the gym and people were like, this is how you work out. Or you saw a magazine or a book and you're like, this is, this is an next exercise I used to do.
00:32:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:32:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
But that was all bullshit.
00:32:53
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:54
Goodmorning Delmarva
We didn't, we didn't know anything.
00:32:54
cltruitt22
yeah
00:32:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know, it's, and it's one of my conversations I had with my boss last night about trying to do physical fitness on my shift is, I bet there's a lot of these younger people who just, they don't even know where to

Fitness Journey Post-Surgery

00:33:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
start.
00:33:09
cltruitt22
Yeah. absolutely not.
00:33:10
Goodmorning Delmarva
And they just need somebody to tell them stuff. And it's like, I'm an amateur who watches professionals, but I'm not a professional.
00:33:13
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:33:20
cltruitt22
Right.
00:33:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, it would be helpful to have a professional come in and say, No, here's where you're at. Here's how you get
00:33:25
cltruitt22
so
00:33:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
Here's where you need, here's what you get better at. you know you know That's what I think about.
00:33:31
cltruitt22
If only we had a university nearby that did sports medicine.
00:33:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, yeah, ah that would be very helpful I think to have, but I'm sure they also do dieticians, right?
00:33:40
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:33:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know Have them come into the firehouse. you know I think my view is for all of our listeners is talk to somebody who don't like, just like this,
00:33:56
Goodmorning Delmarva
If my pipes in my house back up, I call a plumber.
00:34:00
cltruitt22
Right.
00:34:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
If I'm having problems with my weight or my exercise, why would I do it myself?
00:34:06
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:34:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
right like i just I feel like maybe that's the problem in my brain is I was just always felt like I had to do it myself. I had to i had to figure this out on my own.
00:34:13
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:34:15
cltruitt22
Right.
00:34:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
And I didn't. That's what I'm learning and what I'm sharing with you all.
00:34:19
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:34:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
You don't have to learn.
00:34:20
cltruitt22
Yeah, no, that's yeah. Well, and it's I think the analogy can go a little bit further and, you know, Start by, yeah, if you don't know where to go, start by talking to your doctor, you know, look at them as the general contractor. You can say, okay, it might be this, but let's, you know, get you in touch with Fred over here who specializes in it. And then boom, you know, you're pointed.
00:34:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. And i I would consider myself physically active, right?
00:34:52
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:34:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
And I've been going to, I don't think I've missed two gym days in the last nine months, two. So I'm pretty active.
00:35:00
cltruitt22
I've missed so many.
00:35:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
but that's That's not the point, but until I started looking at professional videos of like training, I was just moving weight around or doing cardio for no benefit.
00:35:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
I needed a professional to tell me, Oh, this is what you need to do to get actual gains.
00:35:15
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:35:18
cltruitt22
Right.
00:35:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
Cause I'm not 20 anymore.
00:35:20
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:35:22
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't need to ego lift. I don't need to go in there and put two 25 on a bench and do it one time.
00:35:24
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:35:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
I need to put 60 on the bench and do it 75 times.
00:35:32
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah.
00:35:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right? Like that's, or the guy I follow now is don't even grab a bench. What's the point of the bench of the bar? You know, use dumbbells, you know?
00:35:43
cltruitt22
Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Dumbbells are great.
00:35:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, dumbbells are great. ah You get a lot more range of motion, you know, a lot more control.
00:35:50
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. You use a lot more stabilizer muscles and core.
00:35:53
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Yeah. But that's like stuff you just know, because when I was a kid, when I was in high school, And the football coach, who was probably the first person who ever showed me how to wait lift weights was just some dude from the seventies was like, yeah, that's how we smell.
00:36:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
let go That's like, I mean, I don't know what your gym coach was like, but my gym coach was 80 years old when I was in high school.
00:36:17
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:36:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
And he was some dude who learned from, you know, the fit, watching old dudes in the fifties.
00:36:23
cltruitt22
Yeah. Left in the pyramid weights.
00:36:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it's.
00:36:25
cltruitt22
and hopa ah hook ah Yeah.
00:36:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
yeah Yeah, we're not that far. You and I are not that far from that generation, right? Like that generation taught us.
00:36:32
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:36:34
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it's just, it's, I would encourage everyone who wants to make positive change in life to go and reach out to somebody who knows a lot more than you.
00:36:34
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:36:47
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:36:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it's, I mean, that's what these people's jobs are. Like, you know, I'm not gonna say,
00:36:50
cltruitt22
Right? Yeah. And it's not quack stuff. It's, you know, science.
00:36:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
You can, like physical trainers, I think there's a lot of quack crap out of physical trainers.
00:37:02
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:37:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
When you go to a gym and there's some 12 year old who's like, wow, a physical trainer is like, well, where's, where's your degree from?
00:37:09
cltruitt22
Right.
00:37:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
Well, they hired me here. So I'm a physical trainer. Let me watch you work out some fiber. That's all crap.
00:37:15
cltruitt22
Yeah. No.
00:37:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
But, but I think I look at all all the time. I always like, I'm biting my tongue all the time. Like what you're doing is bullshit. That's a bullshit maneuver. If you do it this way, you gain a lot more muscle mass, but whatever.
00:37:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
I just. At least they're working out, you know.
00:37:28
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's yeah. It's only somebody's not going to hurt themselves.
00:37:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. I never interview unless it's going to hurt themselves. And I still feel bad when I intervene.
00:37:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
My wife, she's just started like a new fitness journey and she's like, Oh my God, I feel so much better. and It's like, yeah, it's crazy. Like how much better you feel just by working out regularly.
00:37:45
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:37:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:37:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:37:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
And that's, that's my soapbox and I'm getting off of it.
00:37:53
cltruitt22
I mean, I think that's part of the reason why like, you know, I want the doctor to clear me to do stuff again because I've felt miserable not being able to work out and, you know, do things I'm used to doing.
00:38:04
cltruitt22
I can't lift anything over 10 pounds right now. I am.
00:38:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:38:08
cltruitt22
It's ridiculous.
00:38:11
Goodmorning Delmarva
But you're also for science from what I've seen. So once you are cleared, you'll get back to where you were so much quicker because your body is used to that activity.
00:38:19
cltruitt22
Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I think one thing that ties into your topic so well is, this is why we need to chip each other.
00:38:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Yeah. yeah
00:38:33
cltruitt22
I mean, you have that little alert on your phone. Oh, your macros are low.
00:38:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
I would love, but we talk about your chip idea all the time. I would love an alert saying, I have processed the protein in your body. It's time for your next dose of protein.
00:38:49
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:38:49
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. Cause like you can only process so many grams of protein an hour or whatever, two hours, whatever the, whatever that threshold is.
00:38:51
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:38:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it would be great if somebody said, cause like, I, that's one of the things I asked nutrition.
00:38:57
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:39:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
I was like, does it matter when I eat my fiber? And she's like, not really because it takes so long for your body to break down the fiber that The fiber you ate on Tuesday is still in your body Wednesday morning.
00:39:14
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right? I said, well, okay.
00:39:14
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:39:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
What about proteins? He's like, well, your body can only process so much protein at a time.
00:39:17
cltruitt22
All right.
00:39:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
I said, well, what's that number? She's like, well, it depends on your body, how you operate, you know? So I would love my, my chip to say, Hey, thing bet protein.
00:39:24
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:39:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
Let's go. You know, but you, I mean, we learned such terrible eating habits as kids right like as children it's you get up you eat sugary cereal at 6am before you do any activity you go hungry for the next four hours it gets to be lunchtime at ah school you eat crappy school lunch tip well knowing you you probably ate apple pies off of a mob bells fucking windowsill or some shit
00:40:01
cltruitt22
No, we did not. We had the stupid trays that had the square pizza and...
00:40:05
Goodmorning Delmarva
right, but terrible food.
00:40:06
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
And then you go home and it's five o'clock and you eat whatever. And then you don't eat again until six in the morning.
00:40:13
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:40:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
And that's how you learn, right?
00:40:15
cltruitt22
yeah
00:40:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like, and that's why you end up snacking and eating crappy food all day is because you're just are you're you're not you didn't learn to eat well, because you're ah I'm not blaming our parents, they didn't know any better either.
00:40:25
cltruitt22
Right. No, no.
00:40:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
I mean, the frickin government used to tell us eat this food pyramid,
00:40:32
cltruitt22
Oh my gosh, this such a.
00:40:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
corn chips count as a grain. You shoot corn chips all morning. yeah You know, because,
00:40:39
cltruitt22
Yeah. Food pyramids supplied by Frito-Lay.
00:40:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
but if you think about like my, I don't know what your, I'm sure your grandparents were rich people, but my great grandparents were, were basically poor folk living in the backwoods of Pennsylvania, right? So they were farmers and They ate because they did physical activity all day.
00:41:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
So when their kids went off, when, you know, my great-grandfather, when my great-great-grandfather was a farmer, my great-grandfather was a accountant, but he still ate like his, he was a farmer because that's how he learned to eat.
00:41:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
Cause his dad was a farmer who was on the farm all day, you know?
00:41:16
cltruitt22
Yeah. Right.
00:41:19
Goodmorning Delmarva
So then when my grandfather was a kid, he ate, well, he was a poor, poor bastard. So he ate whatever he scrounged, but you know, They ate like that because that's how they learned. And then by the time it gets to us, it's like, well, we're freaking sedentary kids going to school. Like kids didn't used to go to school for eight hours, you know, and none of my family went to college. So that was another four years of physical activity. I didn't really do. And then. and
00:41:47
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:41:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
We are softer. We don't do the job that they used to do.
00:41:49
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah.
00:41:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, you know, I don't work at a steel mill slinging steel all day.
00:41:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:41:55
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:41:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't use that kind of calories up. So we never learned our parents didn't know better. It's not their fault.
00:42:00
cltruitt22
Right.
00:42:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
The government was telling them, Hey, this is what you should feed your kids.
00:42:04
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:42:04
Goodmorning Delmarva
So they were like, Oh, sure. but you You remember, I mean, our lucky charms box used to say 17 essential, and you know, telling your parents,
00:42:12
cltruitt22
ye yeah Oh, we yeah.
00:42:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, Lucky Charms is good for your kid. It covers all this.
00:42:18
cltruitt22
Part of a complete breakfast.
00:42:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
like Yeah, exactly.
00:42:21
cltruitt22
Yeah, that complete breakfast, that you yeah, it had with like a glass of orange juice, a glass of milk, ah you know, fruit. ah There was like, if you ate that breakfast every morning, good gosh.
00:42:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, but I look at people now and I'm like, you're still eating like that.
00:42:36
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:42:39
Goodmorning Delmarva
Because that's how you learned when you were a kid.
00:42:42
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:42:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
And that's how white we got that's how that's how the epidemic happened of obesity in this country. It's because we were taught wrong.
00:42:49
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah.
00:42:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
Now we have to un-teach that, unscrew that crap.
00:42:53
cltruitt22
Right.
00:42:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know And unfortunately, we need help.
00:42:58
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:42:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
you So get to it.
00:43:02
cltruitt22
Yeah, get that chip.
00:43:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
Get that chip. Get that chip. Tell me when I need my protein.
00:43:08
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:43:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
And that's my topic.
00:43:15
cltruitt22
I think I think we could all eat a little bit better. I'd say I have noticed that after not eating for a few days, ah my appetite is tiny. So I've got to build that back up a little bit.
00:43:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
Oh, yeah, that's like...
00:43:29
cltruitt22
Having my Greek yogurt and chia seeds in the morning.
00:43:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
Oh, GSEs. I eat so many GSEs now.
00:43:36
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:43:37
Goodmorning Delmarva
They're the worst.
00:43:39
cltruitt22
It's a good source of fiber, though.
00:43:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's an amazing source of fiber. Well, that's, and that's my problem with my nutrition.
00:43:43
cltruitt22
and
00:43:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
Not my problem. I think that's my nutritious problem with me is she's like, I need you to eat 36 grams of ah fiber a day. Okay. Chia seeds are a great source of of fiber. So I, every day I eat chia seeds.
00:43:56
Goodmorning Delmarva
She's like, well, don't you want to try this other fiber? I said, no, no, no, no.
00:43:59
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:43:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
You said chia seeds.
00:44:01
cltruitt22
Yeah, exactly.
00:44:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm done.
00:44:04
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:44:04
Goodmorning Delmarva
She's like, we can't eat cheese pizza.
00:44:05
cltruitt22
Yeah. I'm like a dog. I will eat the same thing day in, day out. If you say that that will work.
00:44:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
I pretty much. Yeah, except for the days I'm at work, like for dinner with on the shift, I pretty much eat the same thing every day.
00:44:15
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:44:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
And she's like, no, but you're not going to eat chia seeds every day.
00:44:17
cltruitt22
yeah
00:44:19
Goodmorning Delmarva
I said, no, you said chia seeds.
00:44:21
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:44:21
Goodmorning Delmarva
You said you need to eat chia seeds.
00:44:22
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:44:23
Goodmorning Delmarva
I eat chia seeds.
00:44:24
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:44:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:44:26
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you told me that two drops of orange juice in this water will help.
00:44:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
don't
00:44:31
cltruitt22
Yep.
00:44:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
Don't.
00:44:32
cltruitt22
That's fine.
00:44:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
Well, you know that where I've noticed that the most though, is with my doctor.
00:44:33
cltruitt22
That's what I'm doing the rest of my life. Yeah.
00:44:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
because whenever she's like, I need you to do this. I'm like, okay. And she's like, no, no, I'm, I, you know, I understand you're probably not going to do it. No, no, you said do this.
00:44:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:44:52
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm going to go do that. Or like, she'll ask for like blood work. Oh, you know, I hate to bother you, but, uh, you're gonna have to get blood work this year.
00:44:59
cltruitt22
Okay.
00:45:00
Goodmorning Delmarva
Okay.
00:45:00
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:45:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
But does this mean that all of your other patients give you crap when you say to do this?
00:45:05
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:45:06
Goodmorning Delmarva
Because You say, do this. You're a doctor. I'm going to say, OK.
00:45:10
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah.
00:45:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't want to have to take medicine.
00:45:15
cltruitt22
All right.
00:45:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
ah every I don't know you, because you're probably the same as me. You don't take any medicines, right?
00:45:22
cltruitt22
That's a getting into present.
00:45:23
Goodmorning Delmarva
Sure, but you don't take like statins and all the stuff that other people our age are taking.
00:45:25
cltruitt22
Oh, no, no.
00:45:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
Every time I go to the doctor or go to somewhere and they're like, you don't take any medicines?
00:45:29
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:45:31
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm like, no.
00:45:32
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:45:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
Well, what's your blood pressure? Uh, one 18 over 72. You don't take anything. No. Should I be? They make me feel bad about not taking medicine.
00:45:42
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's weird.
00:45:47
cltruitt22
Well, I think part of that is they're so used to prescribing everybody medicine.
00:45:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yes.
00:45:52
cltruitt22
Instead of prescribing that and the follow up with the dietician or the
00:45:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:45:59
cltruitt22
physical fitness specialist or something like that.
00:46:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:46:02
cltruitt22
I mean, you talk about listening to the doctor, I had a follow-up with my primary care yesterday. And she was like, I don't really know why you're here.
00:46:13
cltruitt22
I mean, the surgeon has to clear you. I mean, it's great that you're doing well and everything. Check you over real quick. But I was like, look, they made the appointment for me. They said, go see your primary.
00:46:24
cltruitt22
So I saw my primary.
00:46:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right.
00:46:27
cltruitt22
But as I was waiting in the waiting room, I noticed a pharmaceutical rep come in with three trays of Starbucks coffees and things. And this yeah I'm like, see?
00:46:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yup.
00:46:38
cltruitt22
No.
00:46:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yup. Yup. My, um, my doctor was switched doctors two years ago, maybe you one year ago, whatever it was.
00:46:41
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:46:48
Goodmorning Delmarva
And she was like, Hey, cause I always have, I always had low HDL, which is a good one.
00:46:56
cltruitt22
Uh, yeah, I think it's yeah.
00:46:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
Whichever the good cholesterol is, I always had the low good cholesterol. It was never that my numbers were too high. It was that my numbers, my range was weird as that the the good cholesterol was too low.
00:47:03
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah.
00:47:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
And she's like, Hey, um, we need to address this. And I said, okay. She's like, I need you to, I want you to take fish oil X number milligrams per day.
00:47:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
So, okay. She's like, no, no, no. I mean, I'm just, you know, if you only get it like five days a week or, you know, but I want you to take it every day.
00:47:27
cltruitt22
No, Doc, you told me to take it every day. I'm gonna take it every day.
00:47:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. So then I did my follow up this year and she does my blood work. She's like, well, your pressure all is much better. And I said, well, I took the fish. off She's like, How many days have you missed? I said, ah you told me every day.
00:47:42
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah.
00:47:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't understand your question.
00:47:46
cltruitt22
Yeah, what is this?
00:47:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
You you said, take every day.
00:47:49
cltruitt22
How many days did you miss, Doc?
00:47:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
ah right like You take take every day, I go out and take medicine every day.
00:47:52
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know that's just That's how it goes.
00:47:56
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:48:00
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:48:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it worked.
00:48:01
cltruitt22
What's like the, yeah. Yeah. The cholesterol thing. My number has been 206 for like at least the last 10 years, no matter what I do with my diet, exercise, whatever it's 206.
00:48:11
Goodmorning Delmarva
right
00:48:16
cltruitt22
And the work doctors always like, well, you need to work on that. And my primary, she's like, no, this is your number.
00:48:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. Right.
00:48:24
cltruitt22
No matter what you do, you've changed diet. You've done this, you've done that 206 is what your number is. That's just your row 206.
00:48:32
cltruitt22
so
00:48:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
Well, I mean, this is not my this is this is a problem with my fire department. I have a work physical because of my, this is the doctor, I had explained to my doctor, but she's like, well, why are you doing physical?
00:48:44
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:48:46
Goodmorning Delmarva
I said, because my work physical has nothing to do with my health.
00:48:48
cltruitt22
Hmm. Yeah.
00:48:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
My work physical is a work doctor saying you are clear to work, right?
00:48:54
cltruitt22
Yep. Yeah.
00:48:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
She's not responsible on my ongoing care. She's not, and if she does blood work, that's great, but I'm listening to you.
00:48:59
cltruitt22
Right.
00:49:02
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:49:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
I don't go to my work doctor and say, change this, right? Like that person is there to make sure that I'm,
00:49:06
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah.
00:49:10
Goodmorning Delmarva
physically able to do my job.
00:49:11
cltruitt22
Exactly.
00:49:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
that That's it.
00:49:15
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:49:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
I think many people who I work with or we work with do not have primary cares. And it is one of the biggest mistakes I think they can make.
00:49:23
cltruitt22
Yep.
00:49:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
A good relationship with a primary care is very important.
00:49:27
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:49:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
And if you want a recommendation, find a primary care who's younger than you so that you don't have to do what I do where my primary care retired and I was stuck looking for new primary care.
00:49:35
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah.
00:49:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:49:38
cltruitt22
Yeah. Mine is the same age as me.
00:49:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, that works too.
00:49:43
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:49:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
But, you know, we're, we're allowed of the age where we can find primary carers who are significantly younger than us and are still qualified to be primary carers.
00:49:50
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's true.
00:49:53
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
00:49:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. That's it. All the surgical residents that I've seen over the last, you know, week or two, but like 25. Hey, Doogie Howser, come on in.
00:50:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, they're not though. They're uh,
00:50:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
They're just people who are in their careers now.
00:50:14
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:50:16
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:50:16
Goodmorning Delmarva
We're just old, bro.
00:50:17
cltruitt22
Yeah. no Yeah, I know.
00:50:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know
00:50:18
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:22
Goodmorning Delmarva
I've ranked it on health, my friend.
00:50:23
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah.
00:50:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
You've had a week to come up with the greatest topic to be ever discussed.
00:50:30
cltruitt22
Oh, no. Yeah, no, it's not that. yeah So while I was a bed in the hospital watching garbage TV and things like that, there are a couple of, you know, like history channels, which history channel is such garbage now.
00:50:49
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, that's terrible.
00:50:51
cltruitt22
But it got me thinking.
00:50:54
cltruitt22
If you could keep your health and everything from today, what time period or era, whatever, and where do you think would be cool to live?

Modern Living vs Historical Eras

00:51:06
Goodmorning Delmarva
Oh, I think they'd be terrible.
00:51:06
cltruitt22
Like I think feudal Japan would be really neat.
00:51:11
cltruitt22
Really?
00:51:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, man, like feudal Japan is like talking about the warring states where they just are basically all at war for like 800 years.
00:51:17
cltruitt22
Well, I don't want to be in the war, but um just you know the culture and how pristine everything was laid out and the focus on the person, not, you know, I don't know.
00:51:34
Goodmorning Delmarva
I gotta say, I think, I mean, I mean, we're totally ignoring the healthcare side of all of this.
00:51:41
cltruitt22
hu
00:51:42
Goodmorning Delmarva
I think I'd like to live in the Roman times, like the Pax Romana, like early first to second century AD.
00:51:45
cltruitt22
Okay. Yeah.
00:51:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
Obviously, I'd rather be a ah senator of the Roman senator Senate than some peon farmer.
00:51:56
cltruitt22
Well, yeah.
00:51:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Man, I always think about that, like, because I hear people complain about but how things are going in America or how the world's going to crap.
00:52:08
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:52:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's like, this is the greatest time to be alive, right?
00:52:13
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:52:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like at no other time in the history of the world have you been this safe, this well-fed, this healthy, and for all the things that go wrong in the world,
00:52:26
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:52:30
Goodmorning Delmarva
You're like, uh, somebody, uh, was that, oh, um, Neil deGrasse Tyson was talking about if a hundred people die in a hurricane, that's national news, right?
00:52:43
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:52:45
Goodmorning Delmarva
If in, from 1939 to 1945, a thousand people died a day from the war, a thousand a day.
00:52:51
cltruitt22
Yeah. yeah
00:52:57
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:52:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. We can't even ah imagine that. Right. Like my great, my parents lived in the Vietnam era, which Vietnam was terrible.
00:53:02
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:06
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:53:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. But it's only like 30,000 Americans I think are killed.
00:53:08
cltruitt22
Right.
00:53:11
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's, it's not insignificant, but you know, 30,000 Americans are casualties of day day, the first day, you know, between wounded and and captured and killed.
00:53:12
cltruitt22
Yeah. Right. It's nothing compared to the fur.
00:53:20
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:53:26
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's crazy. We've never had that, that's never happened before that, like the whole 20 years of the war, you know, Afghanistan and Iraq, the operation, enduring freedom, all that stuff is still the least casualties the American military has ever taken in war.
00:53:30
cltruitt22
Right.
00:53:44
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:53:47
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:53:48
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. And since that time, since 2001, which obviously 9-11 is an outlier, but if even if you take
00:53:54
cltruitt22
Right.
00:53:56
Goodmorning Delmarva
9-11 from 2001 to today, there has never been a 23 year period with this little amount of traumatic death.
00:54:06
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:54:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right? Which is amazing.
00:54:11
cltruitt22
Right.
00:54:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, and it's, that's one of the things like I'm always like, so annoyed at some of these people like, oh, everything's going to shit.
00:54:21
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:54:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's like,
00:54:25
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:54:25
Goodmorning Delmarva
No, it's this is the best it's ever been. We are the most educated. you know We have the the greatest, pretty much everything.
00:54:31
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:54:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
There's never been a time with this healthcare, care this kind of scientific discovery, this freedom for for religious rights and freedom from religion. and you You are not walking out your door going, I might get shot today.
00:54:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:54:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
Most people, you know, uh, it still happens.
00:54:53
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Well, you talk about like the healthcare and stuff. I mean, what I just went through the hospital 30, 40 years ago, I probably would have ended up septic and probably would have died in the hospital.
00:55:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
oh
00:55:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
No, I'm going to approach to you that four years ago before COVID. If you had the exact same surgery you had today, you'd either have pneumonia or MRSA as a side effect of being in the hospital.
00:55:22
cltruitt22
Yeah, you're probably right.
00:55:22
Goodmorning Delmarva
Hospitals are cleaner today than they ever have been, which is what the most scary thing that happened at a COVID was we learned that hospitals were not clean.
00:55:31
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:55:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
You and I were in the, like MRSA was like a big thing we'd all talk about and our patients would go to the hospital and they would get pneumonia and MRSA.
00:55:40
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:55:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it was because they weren't cleaning healthcare facilities correctly.
00:55:42
cltruitt22
Yep.
00:55:44
Goodmorning Delmarva
So the only thing that really positively came out of COVID, like not maybe the only thing, but one of the biggest oh causes is the hospital started cleaning their hospitals and MRSA and and pneumonia cases are down.
00:55:49
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:55:55
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah. I will say also, they have, I had to use a spirometry thing like 10 times an hour every day while I was in there.
00:55:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
That's insane.
00:56:05
cltruitt22
So like yeah, you don't want pneumonia, use this. I was like, OK.
00:56:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. yeah you know that it just take just take uh our cardiac arrest numbers you and i have a time in our careers where we would go on cardiac arrests and assume that we were doing a priority for right or we were transporting someone who was not going to survive now
00:56:19
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:56:27
cltruitt22
Yep. Yeah.
00:56:32
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's not quite like, oh my god, every time we go out, we're going to save a life. But what's our numbers? Like six times the national average?
00:56:38
cltruitt22
Oh yeah. Yeah. We're much better than we were.
00:56:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
you know right i great I tell people when I teach CPR classes these days, I'm like you don't like, it's so hard for me to convey how much better it is now than it was 10 years ago.
00:56:52
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:56:55
Goodmorning Delmarva
And that's crazy. And how much better it's going to be 10 years?
00:56:57
cltruitt22
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
00:56:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
The time I want to live in is 10 years from now.
00:57:00
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:57:02
cltruitt22
Hmm.
00:57:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, that, which seems like the, my, my, the history brain on me is like, I want to go to these places because I want to see what really happened, but the comfort and the best part of living this today.
00:57:03
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:57:12
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:57:17
cltruitt22
yeah
00:57:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it'll be tomorrow because tomorrow will be better than today.
00:57:18
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:57:21
Goodmorning Delmarva
And that's the truth of the world, I think, at least in my view, the truth, according to me, you know, and of course, all of the science that says,
00:57:24
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, no, that makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I'd want to go 10 years in the future, maybe like 30.
00:57:37
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, I mean, this is the doom and gloom of our lives is like what climate change is going to destroy the world and all of that.
00:57:44
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:57:46
Goodmorning Delmarva
climate change I want to be, I'm probably going to get canceled on the internet. I don't think, I personally don't believe climate change is going to destroy the world. It's not going to destroy humanity. Is climate change going to have a
00:57:56
cltruitt22
No.
00:57:58
Goodmorning Delmarva
very significant impact on how we do things, 100%.
00:58:01
cltruitt22
Yes.
00:58:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
Is climate change is going to drive technical ah technological and sociological change?
00:58:03
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:58:07
Goodmorning Delmarva
100%. Are we going to be better off as a society after those changes?
00:58:08
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
100%. We're going to emerge, I'm hopeful, and pretty pretty much think it's going to happen.
00:58:16
cltruitt22
yeah
00:58:21
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm very optimistic that We will emerge as a species and society from all of these climate challenges, stronger and safer and better than we ever were before. You know, there's a part of me that's sad that I won't probably be around to see what it looks like 200 years from now, because I can't imagine the world being going backwards.
00:58:38
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:58:43
cltruitt22
No, no, I don't.
00:58:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
I could be wrong, you know, but
00:58:45
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, just the i mean the fact that I'd say 90% of us have a computer in our pocket that has so much power and access and different things that, you know,
00:59:05
cltruitt22
would bamboozle anybody from 20 years ago?
00:59:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
But so I was listening to a podcast on my way home to work this morning. And they were talking about King Tut, which I enjoy in Egyptology.
00:59:21
Goodmorning Delmarva
And they were talking about King Tut. I was like, yeah, who was the the Pharaoh after? Not that King Tut is really a king. He was a Pharaoh.
00:59:28
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:59:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
Who was the Pharaoh after Tut? Oh, it's Pharaoh I. Let me read up about this guy.
00:59:36
Goodmorning Delmarva
five year old, let's say 10 year old WISMR when he was really into history and Egyptology specifically would have no idea how to get that information.
00:59:45
cltruitt22
Right.
00:59:46
Goodmorning Delmarva
I would have to walk to a library and be like, hi, I'm really interested in this.
00:59:46
cltruitt22
Yeah.
00:59:50
Goodmorning Delmarva
Do you have any books on this? And then the librarian would have to be like, I don't really know. Let's look, you know, let's go to the Egypt section.
00:59:54
cltruitt22
Yeah. Let's go to the the Dewey Decimal's cart.
00:59:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. And we go to the fricking big, the big card index and I'd have to flip through, you know, and it just had little topics like,
01:00:03
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:00:06
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:00:06
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it would say E G, E G Y P for Egypt. I'm like, Oh, maybe this book. And it'd be like, well, this is a book on Egyptian hair.
01:00:12
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:00:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
Okay. Well, you know, now I can, Oh my God.
01:00:13
cltruitt22
Yeah. Or you go look at the microfiche and the microfilm. and
01:00:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'd do that for my, uh, a lot of my papers in college. It was terrible.
01:00:23
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:00:24
Goodmorning Delmarva
But can you imagine anything better than that?
01:00:26
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:00:28
cltruitt22
Right.
01:00:30
Goodmorning Delmarva
I, I, I.
01:00:30
cltruitt22
Yeah. I mean, if you think about the number of times where like you've been at work or at hell at home or something, and you know, like you're watching a movie, you're like, man, that person looks familiar. Oh yeah.
01:00:41
cltruitt22
Cause they were in this, this, this, and this.
01:00:45
cltruitt22
Or, man, I'm hungry. I wonder what we could, yeah, let's look for something, you know, Indian local to us. Boom, there it is.
01:00:53
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. In, I don't, I think 2007, somewhere around there is when I got my first Kindle.
01:00:56
cltruitt22
And here's all the reviews.
01:01:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
My mother bought me a Kindle. She's like, you love to read. Here's this amazing piece of technology you should try.
01:01:07
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:01:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
And I was like, this is stupid. I'm never going to use this. I like books. I like to smell the books.
01:01:13
cltruitt22
Hmm.
01:01:13
Goodmorning Delmarva
I like owning books and I still own a lot of books and they sit on my shelves and get dusty.
01:01:17
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:20
Goodmorning Delmarva
I walk around with a library of books and instant access to any book in the world I want all the time.
01:01:27
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah.
01:01:29
Goodmorning Delmarva
Wherever I go, I take a Kindle and I sit there and I'm like, I want to read this book.
01:01:31
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:01:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
And it's usually pretty cheap and I can buy that book. Crazy.
01:01:40
cltruitt22
Yeah, it is.
01:01:42
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, think of any era in the world, anytime, no one has had the information access that we have.
01:01:48
cltruitt22
right yeah No.
01:01:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
Ever. So I guess my own answer is.
01:01:54
cltruitt22
I mean, growing up, we had to wait for the horses to bring the mail in every month.
01:02:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
So my answer to your question is this era.
01:02:05
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, not you.
01:02:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's a terrible answer. I'm no, but that's my answer.
01:02:11
cltruitt22
No, but it it makes so much sense.
01:02:14
Goodmorning Delmarva
yeah You know, it's crazy to even answer your question because the only reason you know about feudal Japan is because we have information that people who who lived in, if you lived in, well, let's say 1700 Americas, you didn't know what Japan even really was.
01:02:23
cltruitt22
Right. Yeah.
01:02:32
cltruitt22
No, no, not at all.
01:02:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
You wouldn't have had any idea. If you lived in Sharp Town in 1785, you would have no idea what feudal Japan is.
01:02:35
cltruitt22
Right.
01:02:40
cltruitt22
Hell no, you wouldn't know what Salisbury was.
01:02:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, that's, ah, now you've had to go somewhere with your market, right? Like you get on your little, you know.
01:02:48
cltruitt22
Oh.
01:02:53
cltruitt22
Yeah, but it would it would probably be something it would probably be seafood because that was up the river, which the sharp down sits right on a river. So it would probably be more likely to use the waterway than it would be roadway.
01:03:06
Goodmorning Delmarva
That's a fair point. That's a ah fair point. See for probably would have been the town.
01:03:11
cltruitt22
Yeah, the Mecca.
01:03:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
You would have the town that you would have gone to.
01:03:14
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah.
01:03:14
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. Sharp town. I mean, I don't know the history of sharp down, but I'm assuming back then it might've been a church and a couple of houses and then the surrounding farmland.
01:03:24
cltruitt22
Yeah, it's pretty much what it is now.
01:03:25
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. It's pretty much what it is.
01:03:27
cltruitt22
Yeah, two churches now.
01:03:27
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah. Two churches now. They got two and Ma Bell's pie making pickle factory.
01:03:30
cltruitt22
Yeah,
01:03:38
Goodmorning Delmarva
but it's just i mean
01:03:40
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:03:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
it's It's crazy to live where when we live and it's it's one of the things that drives me nuts about a lot of people in America is you can't recognize how good it is to live where you live.
01:03:45
cltruitt22
Mm hmm.
01:03:55
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:03:56
Goodmorning Delmarva
And all of these politicians that are telling you that it's terrible are lying to you because they want you to do something for them.
01:04:00
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Historical Living Conditions

01:04:03
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. They, they're telling you that it's so terrible. Even though you know, like if you literally sit there and think like the people I work with who literally can't understand that their lives are so much better than it's ever been in in the past.
01:04:18
cltruitt22
Yeah, yeah.
01:04:18
Goodmorning Delmarva
It's crazy. As you drive your 14th new pickup truck you've had in your lifetime, right?
01:04:26
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:04:27
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like. When we can complain, and look, I always want to get paid more money.
01:04:30
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah, I think.
01:04:34
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right.
01:04:34
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:04:35
Goodmorning Delmarva
But think about the guys who, who retired when we worked here, or when we started, who made like $20,000 a year.
01:04:42
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:04:45
cltruitt22
Right.
01:04:46
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, those guys, like ah the, I know, so Newark had a ah paid firefighter.
01:04:46
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
01:04:54
Goodmorning Delmarva
Way back in the day, he was the same thing. Salisbury. I were, they had a driver. New York had the same thing. He had to live at the firehouse. He got paid diddly squat by the city to tend to the horses.
01:05:06
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:05:08
Goodmorning Delmarva
And he had a little, the back half of the firehouse was his little apartment. That apartment is smaller than my living room.
01:05:13
cltruitt22
Mm.
01:05:15
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. It's still there today.
01:05:15
cltruitt22
Cozy. Nice. Cozy.
01:05:17
Goodmorning Delmarva
It was nice and cozy, but he worked seven days a week. Wasn't allowed to take vacations, got paid diddly squat, and probably was happy for the job.
01:05:28
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:05:28
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right? I've in my, as much as I complain of how little I've gotten paid, and my wife and I both make crap money, we own a house, we've had new cars, you know, we want for nothing.
01:05:29
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:05:39
cltruitt22
yeah no Yeah.
01:05:41
Goodmorning Delmarva
Ultimately, you know, I've never, you know, I've had to like, I can't go to, but you know, that restaurant this week because we were poor this week.
01:05:50
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:05:51
Goodmorning Delmarva
but my But I can't go to Outback. Oh, no. I've never been hungry. you know i've Every time I'm sick, I can afford to go get it. It's crazy how much better that we have it than even
01:06:04
cltruitt22
Oh, yeah.

01:07:47
cltruitt22
Right.

Goodmorning Delmarva
You also could have had this opportunity.
01:07:49
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:07:49
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right? You could have done what I did because that's part of the the benefit of doing my job is you get to retire.

cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:07:54
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:07:56

01:08:44
cltruitt22

01:08:47
Goodmorning Delmarva
Not that you have to, not that you probably will, because you're going to be chief of the department, all that stuff.
01:08:50
cltruitt22
No, I'm not going to do that. But now I'll have it. My youngest will be, you know, what, a junior in high school. So.
01:08:59
Goodmorning Delmarva
Sure.
01:09:00
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:09:01
Goodmorning Delmarva
But think about the fact that you could come into work the next day when somebody pisses you off like, nah, nah, I'm not putting up with it anymore.
01:09:05
cltruitt22
yeah Yeah. I'm out.
01:09:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
See you, bye.
01:09:10
cltruitt22
Yeah. Yeah.
01:09:12
Goodmorning Delmarva
Like there's a part of me that wants to work past my four years and one and three days just to be able to say, eh, you know what? I don't feel like going on that call.
01:09:23
Goodmorning Delmarva
I'm retiring.
01:09:23
cltruitt22
Yeah. I'm just not feeling it.
01:09:25
Goodmorning Delmarva
Just not feeling it. You know, chief Ron Whisper here, not coming to work today because I'm retired.
01:09:27
cltruitt22
Hmm.
01:09:32
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:09:33
Goodmorning Delmarva
You know, I'm not going to do that, but
01:09:35

01:09:54
Goodmorning Delmarva
Be prepared.
01:09:56
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:09:57
Goodmorning Delmarva
Because mandatory is a real sentence when a guy is retired.
01:10:01
cltruitt22
Exactly.
01:10:02
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah, I was like our
01:10:03
cltruitt22
Well, our city has such an idiotic definition of mandatory.
01:10:09
Goodmorning Delmarva
Well, that's true too. Well, it's like our um my former chief who was retiring in a month and then bitching because he had to show up to a mandatory meeting. And I looked at him and I said, why are you here?
01:10:22
cltruitt22
Yeah.
01:10:23
Goodmorning Delmarva
By the time they reprimand you, you will have retired. What are they going to do to you? There's nothing they can do.
01:10:31
cltruitt22
Yeah. They can't touch your they can't touch your pension. They can't. Yeah.
01:10:36
Goodmorning Delmarva
Right. Your paperwork's in, brah.
01:10:39
cltruitt22

01:10:40
Goodmorning Delmarva
Yeah.
01:10:41
cltruitt22
Some people are silly.
01:10:43
Goodmorning Delmarva
That's true. Yeah. But don't bitch about the meeting if you don't have to be here.
01:10:46
cltruitt22
The. yeah
