We start off today talking about Lindsey Vonn's injuries which leads to Trey and Raj telling stories about their knee injuries, including the unique way Trey hurt his PCL, and the barbaric practices of orthopedic surgeons. We also talk about an old lady who died on an amusement park ride and if that's a good idea or not at a certain age.

I'm Daniel Matt along with Trade Trenholm and Raj Sharma. Lots of happenings at the Winter Olympics in Milan. It seems, I mean, people are somewhat paying attention to it. One because of the wiener juicing with the ski jumpers, but I don't really remember a whole lot of PMP and circumstance as far as you know, the opening ceremonies and stuff. It just feels like so much other stuff is going on. It feels like the Winter Olympics are kind of just like a backdrop of something happening, as opposed to it usually feels more like a forefront. Does it feel that way to you, guys?
0:56 No, I've enjoyed it. I mean it's it's always anytime the Olympics are on a time delay, I think I think that that affects things, but I've actually I've enjoyed the coverage because it's just enough of a time delay where you just kind of get the highlights at night and especially with the technology now, I mean you can go on Peacock or whatever and you know, have a multi view thing and you can be watching three four events at once. If one looks really good, click on that and you know it goes full screen. But so yeah, because for a while it was you know, before streaming really took off, you have multiple channels, like NBC what had they'd have and it still is main okay, still like that. So you would have like main events on NBC, like whatever your local NBC affiliate was. Then you would also have other events on other NBC properties USA, USA, MSNBC C NBC CNBC, So you'd have all these and then the schedule and then the different channels. So yeah, I mean having the streaming part of it certainly helps if you can find it all in one place. Maybe it seemed a little lost for me just because it started the same weekend as the Super Bowl did. And maybe it'll pick up now that all that's over and it gets a little more of the spotlight. I did notice though. In addition to the ski jumping situation, the big news of the last few days was Lindsey Vaughn
2:27 attempting skiing downhill with a ruptured ACL tendon and ligament thank you ligament. Sorry, I know better than that. With a ruptured ACL, I mean it's right there, it's the l end the thing. Yeah, my bad. And that's on top of. Like she had had partial replacement, but having blown in ACL. I don't know how she thought she was gonna downhill ski. I mean that that is. Yeah, they just covered that on c SPAN, so uh. That wasn't even that didn't even make network.
3:10 And that's part of the reason I wanted to bring this up is because Trey have I know that you've had knee problems. I've known that you've blown out your knee, and I didn't know if it was to the same degree that she had done hers going into skiing, but. I it was one hundred percent blowout. It looks like a spaghetti's partial tear ah. Meniscus and a cluh. Knock on wood. I have not blown out a knee. Yet, and I have a torn pcl am. I right, well, now, you're just you know, scoreab, you're just bragging. Look at me. I don't know what uh and and and and I.
3:51 Hate to say this because it's the Olympics and it's what it is. At her age, she shouldn't be trying to do this again. That's the other reason why I wanted to bring this up. One was because I know that we've got knee experience inside the treehouse and because of the opinions flying around about whether or not she should have been doing this in the first place. No, I don't know why. I don't know what the motivation is. One less go when yeah, that was ultimate competitor and. She was doing great, but I have to assume they had an alternate for the US Women's downhill skiers, and when she popped her ACL nine days before, I don't know why they didn't replace her, because I mean, granted, she's a level of athlete I never was, and has access to you know, training technology, everything else.
4:46 And I did my I blew. I had ACL reconstruction thirty years ago, actually thirty oh god, thirty five years ago. So I know the technology has changed, but the structure of the has not. And the a CL is what you know, your goes when you're doing trying to do lateral motion left to right and when you're on skis that that is you are stressing that as far as possible. So that. I just don't know how they thought she was gonna make it. I mean, when you had your surgery thirty five years ago, did they just give you whiskey and make you bite on a stick? Well, they did it, and they broke out the hammer and chisel for the knee.
5:30 Well, I'll tell you one of the biggest things. The difference is at that time, they spliced your patella tendon, yes, to make your ACL. Where now they'll take it from a cadac. What because one of the problems I have still to this day, it's not the two screws, it's the tendon itis. I will tend to get in in the front of my knee from where they splice that tendon. Yeah, for sure, so sure. So this is why I mean I was curious about it because from a physical standpoint. Yeah, she shouldn't have been doing it. Well no, but hang on, I mean from a physical standpoint, my understanding was that she couldn't do any more damage to it, right, Like it was already blown. You can't do any more damage to that ACL, right.
6:14 I mean, you can't do any more damage to the ACL. But there's a PCL and an MCL, right. So That's what I'm getting at is so that was already So what I'm wondering then, is her reasoning for wanting to still make the attempt. Was it because I can't do any more damage on that because it's already blown out? Was that? I think it was more the fact that she's made all this effort to make a comeback and it was doing great. I mean, cutis to her at forty one. You know she was kicking ass. But again, you've already damaged things and then you've got things reconstructed, and this is.
6:55 Just gonna make it worse. I mean, this second reconstruction is the arthritis that you're going to get the like he was saying, the ten of the night is that you're going to get is just going to be awful for the rest of your life. So there was no point to this. Some people just want to remain relevant, that's the thing. Well, and I don't know if it's necessarily just being a remaining relevant conversation. Think of it in terms of like like Michael Jordan the flu game, okay, the flu game, had he passed out halfway through that game and didn't finish and they lose the game and they lose that series.
7:44 People might have had a similar reaction to what they're saying about Lindsay Vaughn, right, but he didn't. Instead, it increased his legendary status. Happened with the MAVs with Dirk Novinsky with when he had a sick game and had an amazing performance. It's very difficult to tell someone who's at the top of their game, who already has wild success. It's not like someone who's just a really good athlete and they're just they're trying to, you know, make their mark. We're talking about the people that have already made their mark. They're credible, and if they say I'm going to do this, don't you just sort of go, all right, well it's this person, you let him go. Well, but it's it's not I mean, you have to understand.
8:24 It's not like you and Trey getting the flu and me getting the flu. They have doctors, they have medication, they have IVS. So when he was sick uh and he was throwing up in the in the locker room, they gave him what he needed. They probably gave him Zoe friend. They probably gave him a standard steroid iv UH that killed it all and that's why he came back into that game. Same with Dirk, same with I mean, but Lindsay Vaughan. When you're tearing ligaments and muscles and you're actually physically hurting your body like that's a hard comeback. Especially for someone.
9:04 I mean, she made a name for herself because she was borderline reckless in how she skied. That's how she was either great or she got injured a lot. She also took a nine iron to Tiger Woods, so I think that's also didn't. She Wasn't she the one that beat his ass? No, that was his wife. Uh? I thought it was No, that was dated after Oh they did it after the wife. Yeah, much much much later. Yeah yeah, okay, yeah, no Elan was cheating on her with Hooters waitresses. Uh yeah, no Elan. Elan was first to the tea box on Tiger when he was he was cheating on her with all the VIP Vegas girls and the Hooters waitress. Okay, she's the one that chased him out of the house with you know, three wood or whatever.
9:51 I can't remember all of his white girls. Now. There was actually some people theorized that he did not like the fact that she was famous. Uh, that's why he was banging Hooters waitresses of he didn't like anybody wanting to be more famous than him. Yeah. Uh. Anyway, I was just curious about the Lindsay vonn thing because it fascinated me. Here's here's here's an athlete who's you know, made her living this way. She's done very well for herself. She's trying to do one last hurrah, and her her big finish ended up being air lifted off the mountain in Italy, which, if. We're being honest, it's not too bad. I mean it's very special.
10:33 Yeah, I mean it's there's no such I mean, they what they say in Hollywood, there's no such thing as bad publicity. M hm. So I mean she's she's getting all the news coverage for the Olympics, so you got to I mean. She they mounted a campaign with this whole comeback. I mean it was certainly marketed well and everything else. Listen, I give her credit because once you tear your a c l especially mentally, you know you're. You're never the same. It's really hard because you felt that knee, you felt your knee, your joint give out, and it's the weirdest feeling in the world. And when I ever go back from that. Feeling, when I walk down the stairs, I still hold It doesn't matter how I'm feeling, I still hold the railing because I'm worried that it's gonna something's gonna happen, still till this day. And this happened when I was seventeen, and now I'm fifty, And every time I walk down a flight or come up a flight stairs, I'll hold the railing like an old like an old lady, because I'm worried that it's gonna give out again.
11:37 Yeah, and that's where I that's where I come from as well. When I see people say things on video, like when I see comments on the story that Lindsay Von crashed in the video of her crashing, people saying like, Ah, she shouldn't have been there, she shouldn't have done that. That's stupid, that's reckless, she shouldn't have been on that mountain. It's like, you really want to be the person to tell her no, Well. Listen, it's her choice. And it's not like she was given the spot. She earned the sport. She she was top three. She like I said, she was killing killing it. But yeah, She was doing great until that gate gott in away, and had that not happened, she might have been fine and might have had the miracle finished she was looking for. I just look at it and go like, she's doing that on one leg, and she is doing She did more on that mountain on one leg than I'm going to do on two all month long.
12:33 What was the more poles than that? He'll get more poles than that. What was the name of the gymnast that the female gymnast that had the busted leg and still took it home. For us on her twisted ankle? Yeah? And she, I mean she the dream man. She she she catapulted. Yeah, Team America into the gold medal. She's stuck the landing and got carried off by a handsome Russian older man, as most women at the Olympics do. Yes, which leads me question, have we seen her? Since we have not, did you ever bring her back?

Talking about Lindsey Vaughn and her knee and her lack of a interior cruciate ligament, crashing on a mountain in Italy, being airlifted off into infamy, the disappearance of Carrie Strug. It's been a full show already, Trey.
16:07 How was it that you actually blew out your knee. Running with the ball and Uh. Two guys tackled me. One came in it was my left knee, one came in from the left, one came in on up high, and one came in from the right down low. And it just literally a millisecond either way. It's fine, but they just hit it right when I was perfectly my knee was leg was extended and it just popped and I felt it pop. But I walked off the field, went back in. Uh, And it was like two plays later, I was running the ball again and then I went to plant and I just collapsed because my knee. Just gave way. So it was still obviously operational. It wasn't like you got Alvin macked in the program.
16:50 Where now I played the rest in the game, Jesus Tray and I see adrenaline too. I mean there's there's also the adrenaline going through your body. Well, I mean at halftime, I was told what I had done, and because the coaches just felt it and they were like, yeah, to your a c L. But it's Texas high school football and just like varsity blues. And then give me a shot. Let's let's put a brace on it. And played the next two games. Yeah, mine was a I don't have that that glorious story. Mine was in the off season.
17:30 I was off balance when I was going to do uh uh, we're doing power trap polls, and my coach kept saying, move your legs out, move your legs out. I was like, I feel fine. He's like, move your legs out, and I didn't listen to him, and I pulled up two forty five and same thing is when you hear that pop, and I was like ugh, And luckily mine was just a partial tear and double moniscus. But I fell to the ground. But I didn't want to tell people that I got hurt in the off season, like that's a horrible story. So I would tell people I was in on spring break and I saw a lady getting attacked by a shark, and I ran into the ocean and got her out, but she was a bigger lady, and by the time we got to shore, my knee popped. And I can't tell you how many people leave that story like you're a hero. I'm like, no, I'm not.
18:42 How I tore my PCL is a far worse story than that. Was it in shark invested waters next to her, saving the fat lady. That's all I was trying to say. I saved a fat lady from a shark. What I now, First of all, you have to understand is that your PCL is a hundred times harder to tear than your your A c L or M c L. It's impact is. The PCL, the one that's on the inside or the outside of the knee. It's a back It controls. Back, front, and behind it. Okay, yeah, okay, so typically it took the side. Yeah. And you know I tore mine because I had a night tear.
19:24 I thought there was raccoons under my bed, and I leapt out of the bed and I crashed on. My leg. And that did what to your knee? Tore my p CL. Because of a night terror. In your night terror, raccoons were coming to get you. I left out of the bed, I landed like I was Iron Man and. You did the Superhero landing. Huh, that's what it's just like that says, it's really hard on the joint. It's not a good idea. So sorry, no, it's no I can picture it, and I know what happens. It's gonna be so painful.
20:09 I don't currently have a membership to a AI video making website, but I might start one today just to see that video come to life. Why raccoons, This is my question. Like, I don't care how you lamed it. My night terror is always involved some kind of almost always wild animal, rat, possum, raccoon, snake, that were under my bed, and I was always trying to escape them. Interesting, I wonder why that is, Well, it was probably living in the country didn't help.
20:50 Night terrors are one of those things. They of all things, they cannot really explain. Yeah, but superhero But to be to be fair, yeah, Trey did live in the country, and so I mean critters under your bed that can't happen. But you thought there were raccoons under the bed, so you superhero landed. I didn't. I wasn't trying to superhero land. I just leapt from the bed and I ended up super landing. Oh okay, I thought you were making that like, ah, I was. I wasn't going for style points. Yeah, he was afraid of the raccoons. He wasn't accepting the challenge. He wasn't waiting. He wasn't waiting for the rest of his team to assemble behind his superhero landing.
21:37 I didn't think the opossums were judging. You're ironic, man, assumes are in the tree. Wow. Okay, and that's how you told you you tore your. PCL, so you've had a full knee reconstruction. The MCL is still good. So that was on my right left leg ACL right leg PCO. Oh boy, so you have horrific arthritis. Uh, get in there. Yeah. Yeah. And if I remember the chart correctly in one of my doctor's offices when I was a kid, like teenager sports medicine stuff, the unhappy triad is when you blow out the ACL, the pcls and the.
22:23 MCL and you meniscus. Yeah, I've lost a third of my meniscus in both. Yeah. They stapled mine down like luckily that I mean not luckily, but back then that was the procedure. Is when you tore it, they didn't remove it. They kind of put it because it's the butterfly, right, so they just go in and staple it back down into this point. It never ceases to amaze me, the orthopedic medicine and how all the advancements in medicine and technology there have been throughout the years and orthopedic surgeons are still you using some of the same tools they used to torture people in the Spanish Inquisition.
23:05 You you go look at a knee replacement and what's involved. Yeah, and you would think it was some kind of medieval torture. I mean the spikes and hammers. Yeah, that's what they call me. So not having a major knee issue. I did have a rod inserted into my left humorous when I was fourteen because of a compound fracture in the middle of my upper arm. And the first thing they tell me, because they had to stick a surgical rod in there to set it, the first thing they tell me when I'm in recovery and waking up is yeah, apparently they said there's a whole lot of hammer going on in there. At the time, I was like coming out of and it'sta. I'm just like, you'll be surprised how much black and deckor is in an r Like when they go to saw and you know, cut open your chest, uh, or to cut open an arm like you hadn't there's a lot of a there's a lot of saws and it's it's up manufactured by like Pfizer.
24:02 Uh, it's from Lows. I got you here in Mkeita bone saw. I wouldn't be surprised. It makes sense. It's the same stuff. Just have stuff that's surgical grade and stuff that's you know, for the construction. See. I mean it was like the stuff that I saw. It was very pretty. It was blackendecker, but it was like very shiny, very pretty, very sterilized. Uh. And that's what they would, you know, when they cut somebody's chest open, what do you think they're using. It's just a it's a it's a they call it a bone saw, yeah, but you guys call it a circular saw.
24:42 Mm hm. And and they're probably using the same lithium battery that goes in the bone saw that's going to go into the circular saw later. That makes good sense. I'm just glad it was always charged. Well, it's important to have charging stations both at home and in the o R. Because can you imagine going through somebody's chest and the saw turns off like he's fucked. Man, I didn't even get him open all the way. I don't want to go in manual. Let's just wait till that thing charges up. Just go get some knee. Yeah, everyone's watching the lights, just sitting for that second barn And started.
25:27 They all decide to turn on the pit while the three charges and they look and go like, man, that show is really accurate. It, you know, And I've been watching the Pit and it's so good and it is very accurate because I've been watching. They had one moment the other like the second to last episode where they asked for a certain medication and I was like, that's not for that, Like that's very sweet and it sounds really funny and it sounds really medical, but that's not to treat somebody's, you know, heart issue. I might want to double check that, because that's one of the things that I've seen across the board about that show is that how medically accurate it is. Like there was one there was just one. There's a r doctor they brought in to just sort of consult on the set after they had it all put together and everything, and he said he just looking around. He's like, I feel like I'm right back in the middle of you know, an er and he's like he opened up a couple of random drawers and it was the exact things that would be in his emergency rooms, like well and the actual stuff.
26:31 Michael Crichton, who was the creator of er Uh is a fantastic doctor, or was a fantastic doctor that I mean he went to Mass General. I mean he's he's a Harvard educated Uh. And he was wrong. It was the only time in one episode, in one sentence that one of the nurses said something about heart medication and it was wrong. Uh. And I and I just out. I was like, no, that's for mental health. That's like for anxiety or something like that. But the name of it, I can't remember what it was, but the name of it was because it's lengthy and it's you know, it sounds fancy, so we need that stat I'm like, but you don't. They're having a heart attack. Other than that, I'm fascinated by that show. And I'm so glad Noah Wiley is getting his flowers because he never got one for er and he's doing such a great job on the show. And the show is really accurate. So I mean you'll notice that.
27:40 I mean people come in like same thing with like with Trey. People will come in on that show with you know, compound fractures like you had Dan and acl tears and you know, they just knock it out because they know what to do and they know what to say. And such a fan of that show, such a fan. The hammering and the scraping, the sawing. Mmm, I could have done it, it was I mean. I could have done that part of the job and been like, I was, dude, this sounds like fun. You could You could saw somebody's chest open. Yeah, sure, it's just they got in the way.
28:21 Yeah, it was more of the math. I think it's the wooden clubhouse that got in the way, the wooden shock that he ran into. I think that's what stopped him from being doctor O'Malley well, I. Mean I started out that game saying I'm gonna be a doctor when I grow. Up, and they're like run towards that. All right, not anymore, I'll do radio.

While you were gone during the break, I was telling Raj about how I broke my arms. That you guys had told how you blew out your knees. So what had happened was so I broke the bone mid humorous and the doctors even said that's odd because usually it happens higher up on the shoulder, lower down on the elbow. What had happened that was in ninth grade. I'm covering a punt and a guy does a crackback block on me, so he blindsided me and so my left arm wrapped around my rib cage and I landed on my side, on my left side, so my left arm that humorous wrapped around my rib cage and snapped when I landed. Yeah, and then I knew something was bad because I felt it, and then I'm kind of on it. So then I try to roll and pull my arm out from behind me around front, and that's when I felt the two ends of the bone touch each other, and that didn't feel good, and the bleeding and swelling and everything started immediately.
31:11 I probably it was an internal compound, so the bone wasn't sticking out of the arm, but it was. It was a compound. Internal bleeding, the swelling, the bruising started almost They took you to the hospital immediately, or did you? They put me in the stands for a while, rubbed some dirt on it. Well, It's kind of like when Trey blew out his knee and was treated like the star running back he was, but also treated like the star running back in varsity Blues. Trey blows out his knee and then plays not only the rest of that game, but two more after that. Because Texas High School football me, I have a compound fracture in my arm, and instead of the ambulance coming to take me to the hospital, I had to wait for my mom to come pick me up in her Honda.
31:56 At halftime, well, at least you got to watch some of the game. It was one of the most pathetic things. So right after I break my arm, everyone, I'm like, I'm on the ground, like, I'm not moving. This was bad. I don't want to feel those two bones touched again. And so everyone comes over it's like, oh my god, you okay. I'm like, if I'm lying here not moving, I'm not okay. Now this is a new school. This is I think my third or fourth game at this Oh wow. So no one really knew me yet, so they didn't know that if I'm on the ground not moving, it's bad. Yeah, they didn't know me well enough. So one of the head coach comes over, is like. Hey, you're probably fine, just pick him up.
32:38 And then they pick me up. Oh no, no, no, no, no. One of the guys that picks me up picks me up by grabbing my broken arm like at the elbow, trying to pick me up, and and and then I told him not to do that again. In more colorful language, and then the coach realizes, okay, maybe he might be hurt. He's like, oh, you go over on the sideline. Okay, fine, I go over the sideline. And then one of the guys who was deemed too old to play in these games, even though he did for the first few, he comes over. One of the teammates comes over to help take off my shoulder pads. MM. Also not a good idea. No, to this day, I still remember punching Carrie Edwards right in the chest. And this is a guy that was offered a Division I scholarship to Arkansas.
33:29 I was I didn't know that. When you said Carrie Edwards, I was like, what did she do? I attacked him. I attacked a full blown defensive tackle Arkansas level player, because he touched my boo boo, and he was like that he told her. He was like, don't mess with him. So they ended up putting me in the stands because then I was becoming a distraction. So they stick me in the stands by myself. As I'm now in shock, I look like my skin looks like it's kind of no color. And then my mom shows up and then eventually takes me hospital. Wow, okay, Yeah, all that.
34:10 Happened for me was. They they did they did the like like you saw in Varsity Blues. They did do the shot like they gave me courtizone. Uh, like picked up my patella and then put in court zone. And I'm like, I don't think this is legal. In my head, I was like, shouldn't I be at a doctor? No? Uh? And then uh, they did it twice and then I had to go to see the doctor to get the surgery done. But it is Varsity Blues. Is very authentic in that sense that they will actually do whatever the fuck they need to do to win a game.
34:54 The I cannot tell you how much I do not recommend you bring making a bone and then driving a nineteen and then your mom driving a nineteen eighty six Honda Accord stick shift to the hospital with you and the passenger side because there are going to be speed bumps. Oh you felt, I mean because your bones broke. I mean it's internal compound, so you're feeling everything on the road. Yeah, that had to been horrific. Yeah, I was bad. And then then I got to sit in the emergency room for like an hour and a half before they ever gave me anything. Because I wasn't gushing enough blood.
35:36 I would have stabbed myself. I considered it for a while. You're thirty sharp objects around here. I would have. Stabbed my mom to just give me something, Just give me something, take me to jail, or get me in the room like that. I've just been like, sorry, mom, h we're getting seen. Now get a nice joint room. You always said you want to spend more time with me, Say here you. Go, or just a nice joint. Uh that would have been good as well. Yeah, all right, Well it's not all about us. Other people on this planet have horrific injuries, including this one.
36:23 A Universal Orlando visitor died after writing Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster. Seventy year old woman visiting Universal Orlando died in November after riding the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster. The woman, who was not identified in the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, became unresponsive. I love how they I love how they state this type of stuff. Became unresponsive while riding the indoor attraction on November twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, and later died at a hospital. The report did not list a cause of death. Revenge of the Mumm is an indoor roller coaster that can reach speeds ab up to forty five miles based off The Mummy and The Mummy Returns films. Since the attraction opened in two thousand and four, there have been twenty one reported incidents on the ride that range from nausea and dizzyness to seizure and a vertebrae fracture. I feel like they should release these stats more, like I want to know the medical things that have happened to people that have ridden these rides. Like I want to see the list of symptoms that people have experienced.
37:35 You're you're not going to see a lot of brown names are black names. It's kind of and somebody's I know it was the Mummy turns, but somebody's Grandmummy is not going to return. So that's that's unfortunate. Why you're seventy stop riding roller coasters, You've been on one your whole life. I think I think that's the time. I think you get to a certain age, you know, you take on the effic persona and go, you know, oh no, I'm gonna die suddenly quickly and painlessly. Okay, we don't know what it was like, but I mean, she's gone. But what's what's the motivation for riding that ride?
38:28 You're seventy, you're a grandmama. Stay in, go get a chruro. I don't know what to tell you. Hold everyone's stuff, keep the purses. You're the old person. What you're supposed to do, according to Raj, is not have any fun whatsoever anymore. Instead, all the people that are tall enough to ride and young enough to ride will go do it. You are stuck holding everyone's stuff and you have to keep an eye on the kid or kids that are too small for the ride. No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying she should have let them go where they were going, and she should have found a bar and gotten hammered, because she'd still be alive today. But she's like, you know what, I'm gonna ride this ride. And I'm like, all right, well, we might kill you.
39:23 Or maybe after a day with her family, she's like, good God, what have I done? And jumped on the ride. She may have just pulled depend on the safety bar. Look, there's a sarcophagus right there. With any luck, I'll land right in it or next to the rock, just become part of the attaction. She's the new ride. Grandmom returns. That'd some seriou is fear and authenticity to her ride. I'd be it'd be immediately the most popular ride.
40:05 I mean, I'm sure there's people that would ride it. I don't do any of that stuff because I'm not white and uh no, but I'm good on that. What's you know? You either get smacked or Werthers. I used to get both. I'm enviously you guys, because, uh, my grandmother never had the Werther's originals, but she had tons of the Lowden's cough drops that she ate like candy. Oh my gosh, my mother had jolly ranchers. Ah, that sounds that way more fun. That's what she had. Uh and then uh bank peppermints.
40:51 Mm hmm. You in the bowl at the bank. Are you talking about the ones that were like the soft that you could bite right through. No, the ones that were hard and you had to wait three hours before they were done. I would watch that lady. Withdraw ten thousand dollars and then as she's walking out, steal the entire bowl of peppermints. I'm like we can buy them, And my mom was like, why would we? I was like, Okay, that's hard to argue with. That might be cheap, but she's got a hell of a point.
41:32 Oh. I remember when she passed away, We're clearing out some of her stuff and I had all the purses were there in her closet, and I think I counted about one hundred and fifty red and white peppermints that I cleared out of a bag. And I was like, how cheap were you? I know we're Indian, but I think the ultimate question is did you take those and did you put them like with her or did you keep them? Well? I put them in the trash because they were probably fifteen years old. She would have still eaten them, but they're probably still fifteen years old. And Bros.
42:18 Caramels, Okay, yeah, yeah, See had you had you take had you taken those mints and put those with her, then she would have had fresh breath in the afterlife. Oh. Trust me, what she took to the afterlife was worth one hundred thousand dollars. She was blinged out.
