Hey, what's happening, everybody? Welcome to the program. It's December. I don't know how that happened.

Welcome. It's the Jeff Gersman Show. I'm your host for this week's installment of the show.

My name is Jeff Gersman. Hi. This week we've got, uh, I don't know, we've got some news, we've got some, uh, this, uh, grand theft auto.

Here it is. Bloods and crypts. Um, that was GTA 2. GTA 2, where I heard the story. I don't know if it's true, is you know, someone who was working on the game told me that at one point for GTA 2, they were pursuing the license for the bloods and crypts, but they were looking to license.

Actual gangs for GTA 2. Um, and then it, uh, you know, they just didn't work out and they just didn't, you know, and they ended up, uh, you know, the.

GTA 2 instead has a bunch of fake gangs in it, but it is like a big faction thing that you look at and go like, oh yeah, I guess, you know, like, uh, yeah, I guess I could see why you might start down the road of like, well, we want to license the, we want to use real gangs.

Like, I could see why they would, I could see why rock star at that point in a pre, a pre GTA 3 rock star would, uh, would start to go down that road. Um, but the, the crypt, there is it as far, I don't know about the bloods, I assume it is the same deal, but the crypts, there is some kind of like business organization there around it that I think they do have some kind of copyright in place for, for that stuff, but I don't, you know, um,

you know, like Tomax and Zamot had the, you know, they had their big office building and their big ventures and then they were, you know, running the crimson guard at night. It's pretty much exactly the same as that.

You know, um, but I do think that I do think they had some kind of trademark on some markers, you know, like something around the, the, the crypts name, I remember correctly, um, but that's very long time ago.

Um, welcome to the program.

Uh, here we are on a, on a Tuesday morning as it should be. Uh, we're kind of.

Hi, I'm not the only person, so there's, I have seen a lot of, uh, people online complaining about this cough that is never going away and I think, you know, we, it's, that's where we're at too.

It's not COVID. It's not RSV. It's not the flu. What the hell's going on? And, uh, you see some people claiming that like, oh, well, it's, you know, they're getting treated for it like it's whooping cough, but like we've had vaccines for that. And it's not, I don't know.

Um, it's not really an allergy time of the year. So that would be kind of, and it's, and it comes after an illness and what I, so I don't know, it's a bunch of weird stuff.

I don't know, but this is just a bunch of people complaining around the country about, um, this cough that, uh, simply will, will not go away. And there's been, yeah, a bunch of different people getting much treated differently like where they're getting like a Z pack or they're getting a nebulizer and some steroids and like an inhalant and, you know, and whatever else.

Um, I don't even know. I used to get, uh,

I used to get, and a doctor at one point said that I was getting inflamed lungs and I was getting that basically once a year, and I would get this cough that was never going away.

And, uh, they would usually treat it with an inhaler, um, and that would clear it right up.

But it's weird that, uh, that everyone, you know, has that.

Now, I don't know. I kind of don't, I don't know, I'm still coughing a little bit, but it's not so bad. Um, my, my wife is coughing a lot more than, than, uh, than I am.

It's because I've got the power of, uh, you know, touring and 3,000% of vitamin B6 or whatever the hell in me every morning. That's what does it.
