We're back! We're back! It's a distraction. I'm drooling. That's raw. They don't grow up. I'm good, man. How are things?

I, uh, I'll be honest. I have not been great for the past.

More than a half, I would say. Um, I wrote about it a little bit. It's a factor. I wrote about that I had gotten a nasty bit of heartburn or reflux.

I like to call it reflux now to make sure that, uh, to make it clear that your heart is not what is actually on fire.

Right. I thought it was because you didn't want to sound too much like Walter Mathau or whatever. You wanted it to sound a little more clinical and not just being like, I always have it.

Well, I know. I remember when they started calling it reflux. I was like, well, people are so politely correct now. God, anyway.

I get, I get a shit. Going to shed his leery mood on pepsid. I get this heartburn. It is like, it's debilitating. Like, I have to like sit down. Like, it's like, it's very, very painful. It's excruciatingly painful.

Drew's story about hopper and goes on for five more minutes. We're fast forwarding to the end of it.

Turned out that all I had to do was take the right medication for heartburn and actually do what my doctor told me the first time where he's like coffee, chocolate, spicy foods, tomatoes. Those are all going to mess with it.

So you're on the, you're like eating like Donald Trump now. Like, it's just white rice and and beef.

No, like cereal and okay, like that. Anyway, I'm sorry about that. You had to listen to a bunch of bullshit. How you doing, Ray, Rato?

I'm doing fine and you and I'm congratulations on your diet because I saw that enormous flatter and pulled pork you made the other day.

I mean, immediately thinking, wow, he just showed us a picture of his death wish.

Yeah, yeah. That was all for him. Like, I guess Gabe got a little bit of it.

Yeah, my, or my colleague at SFK gave for Dan as his dad and his brother came over and I served him pulled pork.

And it, I, I, I wasn't fucking agony after I ate that pulled pork.

That's like, new levels of middle aged man podcast discussion now.

Oh, he's going to be on the Quaker Oats episode of Chopped.

Yeah.

The other thing was like, I was like, oh my God. Does this mean I have to quit weed too? So I like, I like Google it with one eye closed.

And it's like, well, vaping could cause chest pain. I'm like, fuck. And then, and then I went to the dispensary and I'm like, do you, do you have anything I can do besides vaping?
