But we are going to welcome to the show as we jump on over to the Diamond Factory Ticket hotline.

You know him well.

Great friend of the show, great friend of the station.

It is Christopher Kid Reed.

What's going on, kid?

What's up?

What's up, Ticket?

How are you feeling, man?

I'm feeling great, man.

I'm feeling pretty good.

I'm feeling great.

Now, imagine my surprise, kid, when I got a text message from a buddy of mine that you know that you've met and said, hey, man, did kid have a heart transplant?

And my response was, no, man, I think he has a new hip. That's all I know. The heart thing, that's crazy. And then it comes out when we were out in Super Bowl that you had the interview with Michael Strahan. And he talked about the heart transplant. So kind of walk us through this. When did you first realize something was going on and when you needed to have that happened? Well, first and foremost, I have to apologize to you, Donnie, you know?

Like, people don't realize, like, we're actually friends.

No doubt.

Like, you know what I'm saying.

But it was just kind of a situation where, you know, I was kind of keeping it on the

loads. It was very, very tight situation where, you know, I was kind of keeping it on the lows.

It was very, very tight circle.

But to your question, I would say during 2025, I think I was just kind of experiencing some extended shortness of breath, a lot of fatigue, just more so than normal.

Normally, you would kind of pass it off to, you know, the old, you know, the old dog

ain't what he used to do, whatever, whatever, type, type stuff, you know what I mean?
