| 0:00.0 | Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. A very special podcast for you today. |
| 0:13.2 | Teresa Strasser, very pregnant, is back. Bald Brian is back. Bald Brian has some very sobering news. We're going to discuss it. |
| 0:23.6 | Teresa and I are aware of it, but I will let Bald Brian put it into his own words. What's going |
| 0:28.6 | on with you, Brian? Nothing, man. So about two and a half weeks ago, I was diagnosed with |
| 0:36.6 | a brain tumor. And it came out of nowhere, as these things do. |
| 0:40.4 | I was having symptoms for a few months. I was having, like, neurological symptoms. And I was having, |
| 0:46.6 | like, it would start at, like, the gym, you know, stuff that sort of easily explained away. |
| 0:51.1 | Like, I would get dizzy, or I would get, or I would stumble or I would lose my balance |
| 0:56.4 | and when I was doing exercises and things. |
| 0:59.0 | And it would come and go and I'd get out of the sauna at the gym and I'd feel a little dizzy |
| 1:02.4 | and woozy. |
| 1:02.9 | And eventually, you know, sometimes during the show, sometimes around January or February, my |
| 1:10.6 | lips go a little numb, my tongue go a little numb. I started to slur my words. I noticed myself slowing my words more than I normally would. Did you hear it, Adam? I didn't hear it. I didn't hear anything. All I know is I won totally topical TiVo trivia. Right around that time. And I thought, there must be something afoot. You know what? Let's just say there's an asterisk next to that victory right about now because Brian had a brain to her. All your victories are tainted. So you notice your tongue was numb but you could explain that way. My lips and like a little of my tongue and then my face, the right side of my face would get a little bit more numb throughout the day or come and go, but then it would kind of go away and it would be here and there. And eventually the symptoms over the course of a couple months would get more noticeable and they would just be at the gym or they wouldn't just be at work. They'd be after my nap in the afternoon and I'd, and really the disorientation of dizziness, you know, when I would move my head around, you know, I would, the room would spin a little bit. And I, I, I kind of ignored it, but these are things you can easily explain away. You know, I'm tired. I've been doing whatever. It's like up at 4.30 in the morning. Dehydrated. All these things. And eventually they started to look up some of the symptoms online, and they all matched up with, at the time, what I thought it was like multiple sclerosis. |
| 2:23.0 | These are perfect MS symptoms. |
| 2:24.6 | You get dizzy. |
| 2:25.5 | You lose the sensation of a certain chart of your face. |
| 2:28.3 | My left side would get a little clumsy. |
| 2:31.0 | How is your balance? |
| 2:32.6 | Bad. |
| 2:34.0 | It was getting worse. It was getting worse. |
| 2:35.2 | It was getting worse. |
| 2:36.1 | That was probably the first symptom was was, was losing, stumbling and like being off balance a little bit, which is weird. |
