The Bert Show.

I am wondering, I am curious of what the record is and how close I got to it. And we're talking about, I'm talking about sleeping. Okay. Now, I, it teased me about being like a cat in a, you know, a sunny window where I curl up and I can sleep. Melissa's cheap and tired. Yeah, I'm cheap and tired. I am cheap and tired. Save that. But not cheap in that way now. So anyway, so I love to sleep. I can sleep. And I don't get enough at night, but boy, in the afternoon, so I make it for it. But no, when I was a teenager, I was one of those that, like any teenager, I would sleep until early afternoon. But then when I became an adult, I actually got out of that. And I, you know, a morning person and everything. But then when I got sick and I was on dialysis, and it wore me out, I started taking like four hour naps in the afternoon only because I had to. That's the only way I could get my energy back. So when I got my kidney transplant, I only cut that in half, even though I probably don't need a nap anymore, but I sleep a couple hours in the afternoon every day. So they give me a hard. Two or three hours in the afternoon. Two hours in the afternoon. Yeah. So these guys give me a hard time about that for loving to sleep. But I outdid myself, even outdid the teenager part of myself, when I got back from L.A. Well, we were in Amelia Island. So we were, of course. Let's also establish in L.A. You were working 18 hours a day doing interviews. Totally contributed to that. And that's why I allowed myself to do this. Yeah, because I had told these guys, there was, you know, some, there's a lot of events that Fox was so awesome to us in L.A.

And a lot of events going on. And there were times where, you know, I had told Jeff, Jeff or

Bert, one of you, I said it was immune system maintenance where I had to go, you know, kind of

excuse myself and crash and come back. Because, you know, for me, my immune system is lower

than most because of the medicines I take for the

transplant so I always have to keep an eye and if I get too tired if I'm too you know too cold or to

this I just got to make sure that I kind of keep a self-check and and take care of myself and

if I feel myself getting too tired or whatever then I need to excuse myself take care of that

take a quick nap, come back,

be good. So I don't have the endurance that a lot of people have. And so knowing this, when we got

back from L.A., it was a Thursday when we all were leaving, you know, the American Idol stuff and

going up to our vacations for Memorial Day, I actually flew from L.A. to Jacksonville and met Katie at Amelia Island where she had a work event over the weekend. So she's like, you know, why just come with me, stay at the place we're at, and then, you know, just we'll have the weekend there. So she was already at her conference by the time I came in and the plan was, I go in, I just go went to where we were staying and I just go straight to bed. And then when she got back from the conference, I'd wake up and we'd have the rest of the day. Fine. Did you fly just to some technical questions in case Gannis asks for the record. Did you red eye? I did red eye. Did you sleep on the plane? No, I'm not good at sleeping on planes. I dozed, but let's say if I slept on the plane, it was maybe 10 minutes, 15, 20 minutes at a time.

And even that's probably a light sleep, where you can still hear everything go on, but you're technically asleep. A jerk and I wake back up kind of thing. Bob's back up. Exactly. Whiplash. Right. And I do take Xanax on flights, but by the time I got to Jacksonville, the Xanax would have worn off.

But there was still a little medication in my system. This was like the perfect storm. You're working 18 hours. You've got the Xanax that's wearing off. It is time for Melissa to be 16 again. So I, and I try to time this. So I get to the place we were staying at 10, let's say 10 o'clock in the morning. So 10 a.m. on Friday, I'm in bed, okay? And I don't get out of bed until noon on Saturday. What? 26 hours. And take an hour out of that for eating. So when Katie came in from the conference and she could see. You You woke up and ate and went back to bed? Yes. I woke up and ate, went back to bed. Then her and the other people we were hanging out with, they went out, came back in. I got up and ate again and went back to bed. 26 hours? Yes. 26 hours of sleep? I slept. If I got 26 hours of sleep, I'd be 6'3 foot three.

Save that.

So I say one to two hours take away from that for the eating.

Wow.

But I slept.

How do you physically do that?

Wow.

I laid there and slept.
