Hi, everybody. Just as I was jumping on here to do a little bit of end of the week wrap up,

0:12.9

we're not quite at the end of the week, but it's a Thursday in summers. I felt it was

0:16.6

appropriate to jump on and try to make sense of some of the news headlines that we've received

0:20.2

this week. Just as I was about to do that, we got news of the death of Hulk Hogan. And I found

0:26.5

myself sort of instantly transported back to my childhood when my brother and I used to like to watch

0:31.5

World Wrestling. And it was so much fun to watch Hulk Hogan and his spirit and his energy. And

0:37.2

obviously, his career had his energy. And obviously,

0:38.1

his career had many lives, you know, past that point, but always kind of bringing him back

0:43.2

to the ring, if you will. And I found myself really saddened by that news. I wonder how many

0:48.4

of you also watched Hulk Hogan or were a fan of his at one point in your life. He has such a unique image. You're

0:56.2

seeing one on your screen right now and sort of energy that he brought to this arena. And I also

1:01.9

learned something as I was going through the news related to his passing. There had been times that he

1:07.7

talked about past health issues in his life. And as I was talking to one of my colleagues here at Smirr News, I said, oh, you know, they said cardiac arrest, you know, heart attack. I was sort of conflating these terms. And they are actually different conditions. So if you have a heart attack, it's not the same as cardiac arrest. And what authorities are saying now is that he died of cardiac arrest. So just to clarify that, again, just a moment to sort of learn something or relearn something,

1:31.4

perhaps we've heard in the past, a heart attack is a blockage, something that's blocking your

1:36.9

heart from moving blood through it.

1:39.5

So it's a block.

1:41.0

Cardiac arrest is more of like an electrical issue. So cardiac arrest is your heart

1:46.2

no longer is beating. But that blockage that is very distinct to the heart attack isn't,

1:52.3

isn't part of this particular situation. So cardiac arrest, again, electrical issue,

2:00.5

there's not a beat that's happening. You're

2:02.1

hard to stop beating. Heart attack. You may have a blockage that is stopping your heart from beating.

2:07.2

And so perhaps we learned a little bit more about, you know, what caused this or were some of his
