Yeah, my mom is going to freak out, but it's fine. But we've done enough of these stories where you know, like women's heart issues don't come the same way men's do. And so anyway, I had this all of a sudden. We had just gone on a run and I was perfectly fine, and about maybe thirty minutes later, my arm just started like burning and there was numb numbness, and it was actually painful, and it felt like a surge. And I had not ever felt that before, and it lasted for several minutes and I had to kind of take deep breaths. Anyway, ever since then, I've had anxiety because my head's gone into a that spiral. Yeah, I think so, because I got nervous. Like you know, I have had heart surgery before. It was for a dangerous rhythm. It was an open heart surgery, it was an oblation. But I haven't had a heart issue since, and it's been since I was thirty eight. So anyway, that was I just started to freak out, like, oh no, what if I'm having a heart issue? What if I'm having And then I just haven't been able to shake the anxiety. I didn't google anything, but I know enough.

You tend to overreact, You tend to think you want to know, you go to worst case scenario because it happened once when you didn't think it could, and so then all of a sudden something that I would normally just laugh off, all of a sudden, I'm thinking going back, thinking now I feel a little lightheaded. Maybe I have a brain tumor. I mean, you really, you go into these like vicious cycles of fear and then you just kind of eventually have to talk yourself off the ledge, breathe it out. Actually, I asked for a hug. I've asked for several hugs today, which is highly unusual.

But clearly that didn't work with you.

But all good and all good. Never it's it's okay. We are good friends and we tease each other and I give you a hard time, but I no, maybe this was not a foking situation when you were in that pain. So we are sitting here, folks, recording this podcast, only a few hours removed from news that Justin Timberlake, of course, one of the biggest superstars on the planet, has been in the spotlight at the top of the game, I guess you could argue for a couple of decades, was arrested in sag Harbor on Long Island in the early morning hours for DUI. Now, the details that have come out, and I think the police have acknowledged, is that he did not take a breathalyzer. He was pulled over for I think running through a stops now how they right, Yes, okay, running through a stop sign after leaving dinner at some hotel restaurant, and they put him in jail, got it? D UI? Now my what was your And I asked some of our folks here, our producers, like, what was your first reaction to hearing what was your just in reading the headlin?

Well, you know, I'm a huge JT fan, Like we are huge JT fan. I love his music, I love everything about him. So my heart kind of broke for him. And first of all, I was grateful no one was injured, you know that that was the big thing. I think we were all like, is everybody okay? So obviously that's the best case scenario in a tough situation. But yeah, I just I feel bad, feel bad for anyone who, you know, not only I mean, obviously he made a mistake. He hasn't been convicted, but he's been arrested, so that's important to point out. But if what they're saying is true, if the charges are in fact true or provable, I feel sad for him. I feel sad for you know, anyone who has to deal with the aftermath of drinking too much. And thank god, no one else was hurt. Obviously, that's the big concern that other people's lives are put at risk. If you get behind the wheel, it.

Is that you are absolutely putting your own life in danger. You're absolutely pulling the life of your family. Essentially, they don't need to be without their dad in the house. So yes, see, if this turns out to be the case. My first concern when I heard it, though, I was like, oh God, what is he about to have to endure? When it comes to social media, it comes to it's everywhere, and it's everywhere, not just being reported. And this is what got me. There's nobody who is going to defend anybody who says they had right. If you make that mistake, get behind the wheel, then you messed up, and we get that. I immediately start, well, let me hear the details. Right, where was he what was he doing? Did he blow into a breathalyzer?

Like?

Like?

How much over did he do? Did he not just put on his signal and he got pulled over? I just didn't know the details. But then you started looking at social media stuff and sure enough it was exactly what you would imagine. I just I just it just it's hurt the jokes to start making jokes when I know this dude's kids. I have to see that or endure that, and it's awful. He is a he is yes, he is a superstar. He's dead. He's a dad. Yea, he is a he's a nephew, he's an uncle, he's a son, he's all these other things that I just looking at him as a human being and know that there's a human experience happening right now that really sucks for him. And maybe it is because of a mistake he made, but that was my first reaction.

Yeah, And interestingly enough you point that out because when you google the last post he made in the last little headline that was about him is about Father's Day and just how proud he was of his sons and how they make him better. So obviously that's all on his mind, and of course we get it and just wish them the very best in whatever the next steps are for him.

Is it weird? Can you support someone as a human being but still have an issue with the act, right?

God, I hope so.

God, I hope so.

We too often like we have to. This person did something bad, they have to be condemned wholly. Fully. You cannot support them in any there's no defense anybody's hearing anything we're saying about anybody who has it to you. I'm not defending anybody against that. But there's a human side always to these stories, and it's just at that part. I just like this as big as this star is. You know what the day is about to be?

Maybe that it could impair you if you're operating any vehicles. A warning for pregnant women that it could be dangerous to the unborn fetus.

Yeah, okay, okay, I wouldn't have remembered the pregnant women party. But the line is, according to the Surgeon General, women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth effects. It goes on to say consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery and may cause health problems. Has this ever Has that ever caused anyone to not order the third martini? I do you argue?

I feel like you feel it's effective.

I feel like you feel it's effective.

I feel like that would definitely if a woman, and I definitely have had friends who have been told it's fine to have a drink a day. But maybe if you're seeing that, it might make you. I think that could give you pause, even if you think, oh, it's okay, but you know what, why would I risk it?

Here's the thing? We know this, don't we Do you need to as a pregnant as anybody, Do you need to look on the back of that beer, on the back of that bottle of vodka to know that drinking and over drinking is bad for your health.

No, but I do think that it's a reminder as you're reaching for the next drink and maybe you've had I don't know. I mean, it can't hurt to have it on there? How about that?

No, but I do think that it's a reminder as you're reaching for the next drink and maybe you've had I don't know. I mean, it can't hurt to have it on there? How about that?

No, it's on the back and small print at the bottom. We know it's there.

I'm I'm pretty settled in my ways, but I don't know. I just feel like it can't hurt.

I'm I'm pretty settled in my ways, but I don't know. I just feel like it can't hurt.

Can't hurt. Now, I'm with you on that one hundred percent. What harm is it in having no problem? They do this on tobacco as well. I picked up a pack of Black and Miles at the house that we have. I said, y, I saw you taking a picture.

I was like, what is he doing? Now that all makes sense?

I was like, what is he doing? Now that all makes sense?

So, yes, tobacco products have a warning as well. I didn't realize that the cigars I have, Black and Miles. It's a long, long story that goes back to college.

So, yes, tobacco products have a warning as well. I didn't realize that the cigars I have, Black and Miles. It's a long, long story that goes back to college.

It's a once in a while thing for you. You probably, yes, like smoke one pack of those it takes you a full year.

It's a once in a while thing for you. You probably, yes, like smoke one pack of those it takes you a full year.

Yeah, you're probably right. You're probably right, but it does have a warning. That warning includes that you should not like, even if you don't inhale, that it's harmful for you from the Surgeon General. I didn't know that tobacco alcohol the only two things that got a Surgeon General warning. The tobacco got it back in nineteen late nineteen sixties. Alcohol got the warning about nineteen eighty six. We might now get the bird product robes. Ever, that's deemed so harmful that it needs a Surgeon General.

Warning, and it is social media. And it makes a lot of sense because we heard from the Surgeon General. He is he wrote a not bad in New York Times avecmurthy, and he is talking about the mental health crisis that is facing our children, speaking of anxiety, depression and at worst case, dying by suicide. And a lot of it is based on the comparative nature of social media, the bullying that goes on through social media, and he wants there to be a warning on our phones as it pertains to social media that this could be detrimental to your mental health and ultimately your physical health.

He has to he can't just do an onzone. He will need congressional approval to do so. But I am I wonder like just how the label itself. We wonder how effective it can be if we never talk about this again after today. I think it's effective because he is the top doctor in the country who is coming out and saying something is so detrimental to the health of this country and our kids that I'm saying we need to warn you about it. That's a big deal, correct.

And there's this big controversy because we heard Mark Zuckerberger say that this isn't the case. But there is no evidence he's seen right that there is no link between mental health issues and children or teens using social media. However, it's undeniable that the algorithms that these social media companies use to target children through advertising and certain types of feeds or certain types of if you you guys know, if you click on one thing or I kind of if you even say something, I feel like, all of a sudden, my Instagram feed changes. It looks different. If I start talking about love, oh you should see all the love. How do you know your relationship? It's hilarious talk about love.

What's the what was the number of the average number of hours the four point eight the kids are on social media five hours a day. Now, let's forget the studies, let's forget the algorithms for a second, and let's just say if there is a kid out there who is twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old, and for five hours of the day they're staring at social media, that means that's five hours that they're not doing what any physical exercise, any reading of being educated necessarily, that's five hours that they're not interacting with another human being, which is right irl, which is important for social development in real life.

Yes, they like you. The social awkwardness of kids is crazy to me because they only know how to not even text each other directly. No, we're going to go on Snapchat, We're going to go you know and DM but we're not going to It's almost they take one step out of it being impersonal and making it even less. But I'm scared for a lot of kids who have grown up with from the moment they were born. I mean, how many times do we see it. I'm not trying to judge here because I know it's really hard with toddlers and little kids. But we're in the greatest city in the world with so many things to look at and interact and point to, and you've got these kids and strollers with the big padded iPads with headphones on. They are in completely different universes than the ones they're actually in and they've had that since birth, which is really scary.

So it's scary because Sabine is eleven and you've you've seen all these conversations. They've been difficult ones to have because some other kid has it, right, Sabine said, there's other kid it has it, so I want it so I can communicate with her. And then it's this other kid that has and it keeps going and going. And I didn't know some of these apps lets you track your friends? I didn't. I think I learned this man.

At least, yes, they all emojis and you can see where they are all around the world.

At least, yes, they all emojis and you can see where they are all around the world.

Okay, I didn't know that that you can actually track they they don't even text to see where their friend is. At least will pick up the phone and can see exactly where her friend is standing exactly. Okay, that's that's a little much. But but bec Murphy, I give them credit. This is somebody we've worked with over the years and have a respect for and gain and a relationship with to a certain degree. But to take this type of step, I applauded. I don't know what chance it has, but I think it's to have that conversation. It's when will we see the impact, Like when will we go finally, wow, look at this stat We got to do something about that. And then something changed. I don't know what you do.

My twenty one year old and her friend were talking about how getting a flip phone is now in vogue because people are recognizing at their age that it's not healthy to always be on a smartphone, to always be looking down any free time you have instead of being bored, What can I search up? What can I look at? Who can I google? And that's really scary. And I will say this is I think Ava's eyes were opened when we went to and there aren't many places in the world hiking in the Andes Mountains and she couldn't get cell serviced and so she just had to put her phone away and she had a whole week where she had no contact and she said it was a happy at she had been. This is right in the middle of the beginning of high school. And she said, I learned that week that social media and just having constant access to that into looking and seeing what other people are doing and comparing it to has such a negative impact on my life. And so she learned from that and has really made an effort. So they were talking about flip phones.

It's really unattractive. It's black and white. It's almost like kindle e ink. So it's like it's not appealing to be on. But that's the point.

I don't know why this isn't a creepy one, but he was just a character gone in sixty seconds. He was like a wild dude that I really liked. His name was Memphis Rains and it was just the coolest thing.

So that was our watching. But we try. We've been trying for weeks to get ready for House of the Dragon. Yes, we failed, we failed.

We watched the first episode of season one. We did a while. Yeah, it's so complicated, you forget how complicated it is. And then my favorite part is after we watched the first episode of season two this weekend, we watched it again a second time. Think, I've had to do this with Game of Throne so often, and then you didn't even realize they did this. But if you wait until after the credits, the producers come on and really go through the episode and explain what happened. And because that's how complicated it is, you can't just like I applaud anyone who can just watch it once and know exactly what happened. I need a second watch, and then the cliff notes of them from the producers telling me what happened that move?

It is.

It is.

I feel like it's a tamer version because if you some people got really turned off when they watched the first season of Game of Thrones because it is basically like watching violent and then violence and then soft porn and and incestuousness. I mean, it's tough. It's a lot.

I feel like it's a tamer version because if you some people got really turned off when they watched the first season of Game of Thrones because it is basically like watching violent and then violence and then soft porn and and incestuousness. I mean, it's tough. It's a lot.

First two or three it took me. I was not going to continue with Game of Thrones.

First two or three it took me. I was not going to continue with Game of Thrones.

It's a lot. Yeah, But this one, I feel like still has those elements, but it's not as intense. So there's some well, there's softer incestuousness. It's the least. It's not brother and sister.

It's a lot. Yeah, But this one, I feel like still has those elements, but it's not as intense. So there's some well, there's softer incestuousness. It's the least. It's not brother and sister.

That's not a thing.

That's not a thing.

Softer uncle and incestuousness. Yeah, because it's an that has been of course I made that up. It's an uncle with his niece versus a brother and a sister. See, that's why I felt like it was a little less incestuous.

Softer uncle and incestuousness. Yeah, because it's an that has been of course I made that up. It's an uncle with his niece versus a brother and a sister. See, that's why I felt like it was a little less incestuous.

It's yeah, that feels less gross. It's still gross, don't get me wrong.

It's yeah, that feels less gross. It's still gross, don't get me wrong.

But the show is. But you know what, the weird thing, I'm not even gonna say that. It sound like a weirdo, you know it. No matter what, I'm not gonna say it. I'll tell you all when we started recording. But it's that bad. I shouldn't say it because it makes me seem odd. The last thing we want to hit on today is that we are officially officially training for the Chicago Marathon. It started last week. Official training, yes. And the way that goes, we had we keep the board up in the house. We keep a sheet up. She has one in her place, I got one in mine, and we cross it off. But we got eighteen weeks of training in. This is week number two. But you go for eighteen weeks of running.

It's kind of amazing because people, it is a daunting thing to train for. Luckily we've been down this road. But I have found if you just print out the marathon training. We go with Halhigden the novice one because I like to keep it with something that's worked. I just stay with it. But if you just mark off the runs, and as intimidating as they are, they build and there's a rhyme to the reason and it works. It's worked every time. So we were actually surprised that we had to run as much as we did the first time. We had a three, a three, a three, and then a six mile and I was like, already a six miler. Couldn't we like ease into it with a four miler or a five? And I struggled a little bit with the six. Yeah, I was a little slow on mile four and five. I wasn't used to it.

Yeah, and running is not like riding a bike. You if you you have to start from scratch when you're when you're training for these things, it's not like, oh, well I've run this many so I'll just be good.

Yeah, and running is not like riding a bike. You if you you have to start from scratch when you're when you're training for these things, it's not like, oh, well I've run this many so I'll just be good.

Really If we look it up on Strava, it wasn't bad. But okay, I get what you're saying. You didn't feel the way you wanted to feel. But we ended the run and we laid eyes on somebody we hadn't laid eyes on a while a wonderful, wonderful friend who I would also like to say is the worst friend I think I've ever had. We are ending, right, I'm literally stopping and stopping my Strava on my phone, and I hear somebody run over to like coming right at me, like a big brother, coming right at me, full speed, coming right and getting in my face. And this is what he said to me, keep up the pace, DJ, all right, and kep running.

No, we love some math. It's good to reconnect with him and the other friend we want to talk about today. And a lot of people saw the news that a friend of ours is retiring. Now that doesn't sound like necessarily the biggest deal in the world, but this is somebody who is one of the most prominent names and voices associated with the NBA, and he has been for forty years. And to think about the NBA without this guy as a player or as a an analyst's kind of unfathomable, Like he's just been such a part of it for so long. So hats off to Charles Wade Barklay, who announced just last week that he is going to retire from NBA broadcasting after next season. So he'll get his kind of farewell farewell tour. But Robes, this is something you've only been hanging out with Chuck for the past against a couple of years with me. But he's somebody who's been a friend of mine of seventeen eighteen years. You have heard him even the past two years. How he talks about retirement, talks about wanting to finally stop working.

Yeah, and so you know what good for him? He loves to golf, he loves to travel, he loves his family. So this is gonna be great. I don't know. I can't imagine him. I mean, you said you can slowing down and saying I'm done with this. But he is always just going, going, going going. I mean, he holds court wherever he goes. I mean, and I think that'll probably always be the case. So will he ever really get to relax? Because he walks into any room anywhere, and he is, yes, the most important, most interesting person in the room. But he's just got such a great I love what he does for sports commentary. I've obviously been watching it a lot more than I ever have in my life since dating you. But he just I love his plane speak. He just says it exactly like he sees it. He doesn't try to sound like the smartest person in the room. He doesn't try to sound like he's trying to impress anyone. He just says what he thinks and more importantly, what he knows. Because he's earned the right to have that kind of commentary. He just doesn't need to prove anything, and that's such a great place to be and he's such a pleasure to watch. So he will be missed.
