At 47:10, your immediate reaction was "why?" when you heard about Andy Dick getting rushed to the hospital after being knocked out, so I figure this is a good chance to educate you and anyone else who happens to read this. If you are ever knocked unconscious, go see a doctor ASAP. If it's outside of regular business hours, go to the ER. Call an ambulance if you have to. Movies make it out like getting knocked out is just a nap with a bruise, but it can be VERY dangerous. People can and do die from it. It's especially dangerous if you hit your head on the way down (like Andy Dick did) because multiple concussions in a short time frame can easily kill you. Head trauma is no joke. There's a reason the WWE banned chairs to the head. If you or anyone around you takes a serious shot to the head, get it checked out right away. Most people do not take it seriously enough because we view it as less harmful than it really is. I'll be happy if one person reads this comment and learns something because it's one of those medical things like the Heimlich maneuver, CPR, and signs of a stroke that I think every single person should know because that knowledge could potentially prevent a death one day.
Okay this is completely random but I’ve never had a chance to mention this to anyone so here goes: when I was seven years old I was roller skating around our apartment complex and fell straight back and hit my head. I’m pretty sure I blacked out because when I opened my eyes the sun and shadows seemed different, as it took place in early evening. I just got up and went home. I didn’t tell anyone because my step mom would have figured out a way to yell at me for it. Later that year I had a seizure while she was curling my hair with a curling iron. I had a test done where they glued things to my head and tried to make me sleep to figure out what was going on. I don’t think anything was figured out, but nothing more was ever done. After this I had a couple more occasions where I blacked out (no seizure) when extremely hot. Once due to high fever when I had chicken pox, another time in the apartment complex laundry room. I’ve had memory issues throughout my life since this as well. Anyways it wasn’t until the last few years I tied this to possibly being due to hitting my head when I fell. Maybe not. But I do wonder. ✌️😀
Tl d R, but one of my friends died because he fell out of a shopping cart, going down a Hill thought he just had a concussion he went home and internally bled inside of his head until it killed him I don't fully understand how he died. I just know he had internal bleeding in his skull. So I full heartedly think it's very important to get checked out after any sort of head injury even if you didn't go to sleep.
Yes, the most common time for an addict to die is just after relapse. As a recovering heroin addict, this was always my fear. Going back, doing my normal shot, and just blanking out. Gone. Forever. You detox for a few days and don't realize that your tolerance has dipped, and the dose you used to use to maintain and just not get sick now gets you so high you stop breathing. This is fairly common, unfortunately.
I'll be real with you. If Andy wasn't famous, and just came into an AA meeting and started telling his story, it wouldn't even phase us. Yes, Andy has had some really tragic things happen to and around him, some influenced by his own poor decisions. But to be brutally honest, this is the average experience with addiction. Friends die, they commit suicide, you make a complete and utter ass of yourself, hurt your friends, hurt your family, hurt everyone around you. You do horrible things, sometimes they aren't forgivable, sometimes they are. You leave nothing in your wake but wreckage.
So true 💯 it’s sad to see that I think a lot of us know if he stayed sober, he wouldn’t have acted or be surrounded by all this 😓 that could have been how he stayed around, at first, despite his behavior… when he was sober, he was fine, relatable, and filled the room with laughter. But when he’s fucked up, he becomes a monster.
I have a question for Papa on that whole natural man smell...I started taking testosterone a few months ago and now I smell like corn chips. Is that the right smell? I mean, my wife likes it, but still, I have no experience of man smell outside of middle school boys and Axe.
