to speak freely okay thank you right okay people listen we do the show good mythical morning every weekday for you this is special to us I thank you for making it special to you because it is a time for us to connect you know when you make it a part of your daily routine it we become family and I feel like there are certain points when we’re connecting that you get to know us that if there’s something that one of us or both of us is going through that you could be clued into that that you might even see pain on our faces at certain points ladies and gentleman mythical beasts everywhere let me tell you that I’ve become aware of a problem an affliction a pain that my friend Rhett here has that I’ve asked him to speak to you about today because you know what we’re family or something we’re friends we’re Quentin yeah well you’re an audience and it’s and this is important or he at least can’t hide it from you and I just thought it would be appropriate so I’ve asked him to join us today there and to share to share a little bit about my psoriasis hurt his personal pain there’s about muscle right no not that one to the back thing oh you got something on your shirt here too so that’s the first things out of the way whatever was floating out of your hair into your it’s arises from its secured cert I’ve removed that um I if you listen closely and you watch good mythical morning on a regular you may have picked up on the fact that a couple days ago when we were doing a thumb war as a result of the mythical wheel landing on thumb war yes did I complain about my back and that’s why I lost and I’m still going to say that’s why I lost I typically do not lose contest although I have lost two in a row and I’m gonna chalk it all up to the fact that ladies and gentlemen for approximately the third or fourth time in my life I have a ruptured disc it even sounds painful the word rupture it hurts me to even say it um it’s you might call it I don’t know there’s different names for bulging ruptures all I know it is is it is very painful and it happened I don’t know if this because I’m 6 foot 7 yes I’m extremely tall welcome to the party it puts a lot of leverage on my back I’ve had back problems since I was a teen that’s a teenager that’s from the ages of 13 and 19 I’m just making sure everybody understands what I’m talking huh sometimes I just feel they need to clarify everything you know maybe it’s like the the levity with which you’re delivering what you’re talking about it’s like you’re giving a disposition to like Congress or something well it’s like I’m speaking to you like a ladies and gentlemen of Congress I’d like for you to know that I’ve had back trouble since the age of since a teen defined as ages 13 to 17 19 19 is still a team yeah you don’t feel like it anymore but you’re technically still a teenager anyway I’ve had back problems for a long time and starting in college I would get and I’ve had lower mid and upper back problems I’ve had side upper lower set left I just have a lot of back problems and I’ve tried yoga and exercises and some time well let’s not get to what you’ve tried yeah I’ve had it under control from time to time but it has happened again and I am nearly immobilized yeah let me ask you at this point right now if you were to rate your pain level from a zero to a ten that’s what they do in hospitals what would you rate it a ten being that your your your in a torture device a zero being you’re on some sort of anti torture drug okay so it’s like a pleasure for a pleasure drug um or pleasure cruise as I sit here right now with you not moving supporting myself with my elbows I’d say it’s about a four right now now if I try to get up it will become a seven to eight and if I try to get out of the bed in the morning it becomes like a I go as far as a nine meaning that like I like it gets if I sleep on it wrong or in I have to chain last two nights now that I’ve had this I’ve been sleeping on my back and then on one side and on the other side and I keep waking myself up because it really begins to hurt and then trying to get out of you you should I am like a whale trying to roll out of bed and let me put it this way so I come to rets house and I blow the horn to pick him up a couple mornings ago and he comes out he opens his gate and comes out and walks down he gets in the car every day that’s what happens well this time I blow the horn he doesn’t come blow the horn again and finally I see a hand come over the gate like open the gate and then I see a guy who looks like Rhett in terms of like his hair and his stature and type of closing wear but the way that this guy was walking he looked like a 98 year old man coming down the knoll but it was red he were just walking like a 98 year old man and then he proceeds to open the car door and take the next 8 minutes no exaggeration getting in the car it was a hey I’m like do you want me to pull on something you want me like put your head watch your head like a cop getting in a car here’s the problem we made a decision that we made a decision almost two years ago when we decided to get a company car and we were in a crunch for time we made a decision we picked the Ford Fusion I was my decision okay because it was like this is it was affordable they had a good deal on it and it was the number one rated sedan I was like sure we surely we just need a sedan but sometimes I forget that I’m a really large man especially trying to get into a sedan where the ruptured or bulging disc I can’t get myself small enough the thing that really hurts is bending over like I have trouble getting my socks and shoes on in the morning but I figured out this morning if I get on the bed and lay on my back like a like an insect it’s kind of stuck on its back I can get a turtle I can get to my feet and put the socks on not quickly now it took me good five minutes to get my soccer shoes on this morning dude you’ve got two kids that’s what they’re for put my socks and shoes on kids but anyway I have to kind of get myself I’m shocked John I try to get myself as small as possible to get in and out of the car and that is one of the most painful parts of my days getting and I’ve kind of constantly out of breath because I’m holding myself in a certain way as to not hurt myself and when you stand you kind of stand in a way you see if you capture capture this and silt here sorry for asking you to stand standing the most comfortable way possible now I’m not exaggerating as you can see my body goes like this right now I mean I guess you can see that because I obviously the picture of Jason in the picture video not a picture it’s is that it’s not obvious in many pictures that you’re taking 20 rapid succession I’m not exaggerating this is me standing straight with this issue now if I really try to straighten up it gets very painful makes you whistle to it and I went to a chiropractor at some point let’s sit back down you told me that you should try to straighten it out who and that does make you feel a little bit better hurts initially but now it’s hurting so good well hold on just sit back down I don’t want I don’t like watching you in pain I don’t think I think that’s why we’re not going to release this episode this is pretty pathetic I think people at home are going to be a couple of things are going to happen I’m gonna release this up if we release this episode people are gonna feel sorry the whole time good and then the whole I need some sympathy and then the second half of their their feelings there’s gonna be meta being advice cavil cated it’s gonna be a cavalcade of medical advice listen coming from our audience listen listening I know your dad’s a chiropractor or your dad’s an orthopedic surgeon and I need to do this yeah please restrain yourself or a nutritionist or a psychic you’ve probably already done it many of you have already commented by the time you got at this point in the video please refrain from giving me medical advice in the comments I know what to do it’s okay I’m gonna be okay I will recover I have a professional that I’m seeing real and I’m just telling that so they’ll get off my back literally Oh with the pun now I think here’s one thing here’s a funny story because you know it certainly would be nice to try to do something that’s a little bit funny and not so pathetic in this episode I think I’ve been very funny about the about the the way that the way that when you got when your back went out last time it was right before we were gonna be on Conan two days before we were going to be on Conan to promote commercial Kings which is fabulous fabulous experience which I we haven’t talked to them about that maybe we can go back we weren’t doing good mythical morning at the time but anyway part of Conan is they do a pre-interview with like a producer you don’t mean Conan – you’re on the show and they ask you questions so they’ll know what you’re going to answer and then they kind of say alright we’re only going to ask you these questions so it’s more entertaining and it moves quickly blah blah blah well one of the first things we had to tell them because Retta thrown on his back was he’s thrown on his back if he comes out he’s gonna look like look for like a wobbly Frankenstein coming out on the stage we’re gonna have to talk about that on Conan’s show because it was gonna be embarrassing it was gonna be something that you can’t walk out like I was going to walk out like what’s wrong with this guy you have to address it but we said it would be a game-time decision you know we were going to wait and and I didn’t want to have to talk about it because I didn’t want it to be about me and I didn’t want the conversation be about my back I wanted it to be about our show or at least just meteor just you link so the thing that happened was is when I got there my my back wasn’t feeling great definitely it was hurting but there’s a lot of adrenaline going through me while we were going Conan I was nervous I was excited and if you watch the tape when I walk out I can tell that I’m hurting but I look like I’m just totally fine maybe that’s what we need to do now those we need to get you on Conan again you’ll have an adrenalin rush but to tell the people at home how you threw your back out eating a sandwich which time last time yeah well ninis and well here I learned later that the way of ruptured or bulging discs happens is you you caused some sort of trauma to it by putting some compression on the spine and then 24 to 48 hours later as it’s beginning to be inflamed it then pops out mm-hmm as it swell and then it hits a nerve and that’s when you get a lot of pain and shoots down your leg it’s not pleasant at all but the problem is is that if you don’t know what you if you don’t know anything like I didn’t anything at the time you think the thing that you’re doing at that moment is the thing that causes the pain so we were eating a sandwich over in Burbank yeah and we were outside you were sitting you weren’t sitting on the picnic table bench you were sitting on the top of the picnic table I remember that and I remember you being like I just threw my back out eating a sandwich I was lifting the sandwich to my mouth and that was when so but and so I can never figure out what it was I don’t know what it was this time we filmed a pretty involved video you also know this week you moved a mattress I moved a mattress I bear hugged you in a video even though you were standing on an Apple box and so I tried not to I don’t know what it was I’m gonna be okay don’t worry about me they are worried about your retina I’m worried about you well no I’m not a belt I think our career is on the line here if you don’t get better we’re gonna my choice give me a massage what just make your choice about me give me a massage softer it’s good keep going yeah
